Registration No: F28 RYV Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DB163097 MOT: T.B.A.Treated to over £68,000 worth of restoration and upgrade work by acknowledged Jaguar XJ-S specialist KWE less than 3,000 miles agoSteering, brakes and suspension all upratedQuad headlamp conversion, stainless steel exhaust, more modern Alpine stereo etcPreviously valued at £58,000Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJ-S was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads and so came with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post 1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood. Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form. The vendor paid Jaguar XJ-S specialist KWE over £68,000 in 2014-2015 to source, restore and upgrade this V12 Convertible to his specification (a sum which would likely exceed £100,000 if similar work were carried out today). The transformation is still documented on the West Berkshire company’s website - https://www.kwecars.com/stunning-1988-jaguar-xjs-v12-convertible-with-room-for-pops/ - and shows that ‘F28 RYV’ required minimal remedial metalwork once stripped back to bare metal. Repainted Westminster Blue (£13,885.20) and retrimmed with Magnolia Connolly hide (£9,434.40) and a new Dark Blue mohair hood (£2,520), the two-seater also had its steering / suspension / brakes refurbished and uprated (£10,032), engine serviced / overhauled (£8,400), electrics improved (£2,539.20) and air-conditioning recommissioned (£1,610.40). Converted to quad headlamps, the Jaguar was further personalised with a Motolita wood-rimmed steering wheel and Alpine stereo not to mention a custom platform behind the seats to better accommodate additional luggage or the seller’s labrador ‘Pops’. Having covered less than 3,000 miles since its rejuvenation, the XJ-S’s odometer currently shows some 62,000 miles. Due to be freshly MOT tested ahead of the auction, ‘F28 RYV’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, past valuation for £58,000 and sundry KWE correspondence / invoices etc. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737
Lot 30
Registration No: HHJ 380L Chassis No: LD 200090 MOT: September 2025Manual transmission, with overdrive Desirable UK-supplied, home market RHD exampleFitted with a variety of subtle upgrades and enhancementsFitted with a Black Mohair soft topRecently serviced and MOT tested, with no advisoriesIntroduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard and soft-top roofs. Despite being in production for seven years, during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.Said by our vendor to “run and drive very well, with everything working as it should”, HHJ 380L is said to benefit from a number of desirable, yet subtle upgrades including uprated rear drive shafts, electric water pump, aluminium radiator, stainless steel tubular exhaust manifolds with sports large bore tailpipe, Lumenition electronic ignition, uprated headlamp kit (to H4 specification all around with relay pack), together with a retro “Tadpole’ radio featuring modern internals. The car’s paintwork is described as “excellent”, as is the chromework. The trim is also described as “excellent” and the black mohair hood is saids to be just as good! Riding on a correct specification alloy wheels in fantastic condition, the underside of the car is also in great structural condition. Ready to use and enjoy, the car is accompanied by a small file of paperwork and has just undergone an MOT inspection to September 2025 (with no advisories) - it was recently serviced also.

The design and development had begun in the late 1960s by the code name of project XJ27, with an initial shape penned by Malcolm Sayer, but after his death in 1970 it was completed by the in-house Jaguar design team, headed by Doug Thorpe. In 1983, the new 3.6-litre Jaguar AJ6 straight-six engine was introduced along with a new convertible model called the XJ-SC. The coupé's rather small rear seats were removed in order to make space for the removable soft top, making it a strict two-seater car.The XJ-SC was not a full convertible but was a fixed profile variant with a non-removable centre targa-type structure, fixed cant rails above the doors, and fixed rear quarter windows. The six-cylinder cars can be identified by a raised bonnet centre section.

Registration - YK66MGWChassis No. - SA94420K2G0004141M.O.T. - March 2025Odometer - 13,600With famously long waiting lists, Morgans are real collectable cars, and this 2017 Plus 4 is a particularly desirable example. Finished in classic Royal Ivory with Imperial Red leather interior, it has not only been garaged all its life, but also kept in an air chamber – and the vendor says it has only been used on dry days, borne out by an odometer reading just 13,600 miles. It benefits from paint protection film as well. A further highlight is that it features the very rare extra-wide body. It has had just one owner since new, and comes complete with full mohair weather equipment including a screen bag, tonneau and hood cover. It also has aero racing mirrors, stainless steel door check straps, clear front indicators, luggage rack, headlamp stone guards and a bonnet strap (which is currently not fitted). ‘YK66MGW’ features a 2.0-litre Ford GDI engine that produces 154bhp. It has a five-speed manual gearbox, and things are made easier for the driver by the rare fitment of power steering. It has Performance sports seats with lumbar adjustment, and they are also heated. The walnut dashboard forms part of an interior that’s described as being in ‘excellent’ condition – indeed, the whole car is described by the vendor as being ‘excellent’. The car comes with two keys, and the vendor adds it has SSL front suspension that benefits from new chrome king pins. Naturally, it also has a full and very comprehensive service history. The Morgan Plus 4 is a long-running model that has been produced in various periods throughout the Malvern firm’s history. The powerful two-seater first ran from 1950 right through to 1969, before being revived between 1985 to 2000. This car is a third series model, reintroduced in late 2005, powered by a Ford Duratec engine. Original models produced 145bhp but this car is a later version, producing 154bhp.

1975 MGB GT Coupe Registration Number: JPH 323N Chassis Number: GHD5-378504G Recorded Mileage: 73,100 miles - Much recent attention in 2024 - With ‘Sebring’-style bodywork upgrades The MGB was first introduced in May 1962 as a direct replacement for the MGA. October 1965 saw the introduction of the GT and was based on the already popular roadster. Designed by Pininfarina, the new GT sported a hatchback giving useful access to the rear luggage space and a rear bench seat that enabled the car to be called a 2+2. Although acceleration was slightly slower than the roadster, top speed was better by 5mph due to the increased aerodynamic efficiency. BMC promoted their new MG model through endurance road racing, specifically at the annual twelve-hour endurance race at Sebring, Florida. With less power than its competitors, the works team instead chose to “add lightness”. LIghtweight aluminium body panels were added for the “GTS” or ‘Sebring” race cars; the front valance, front wings, door skins, and GT hatch were all made from aluminium, and were designed to be bolted on. This 1975 MG-GT was restored around 10 years ago and modified partly to give the appearance of those Sebring racers. The bumpers were removed, the front valance altered, a Sebring-style bonnet added, also perspex headlamp covers, minilite wheels and decals. A solid and reliable example, the MG has been waxoyled to prevent corrosion, and in 2022 serviced with the carburettors rebuilt/tuned on a rolling road. Said to run nicely, this striking looking ‘B’ has been seen at Castle Combe and in the MG Paddock at a recent Haynes Breakfast Club Meet. The MG is mechanically standard other than electronic ignition, an electric cooling fan, also working overdrive on 3rd and 4th gears. In current ownership the car has been serviced with new filters, oils and front discs/pads. The engine bay has been tidied up, door cards, seals, and locks replaced, the wiring improved, a new fuel sender fitted, and also new horns. The seats were removed and the sound proofing replaced, the seat belt hangers renewed and the seats refitted. The tailgate was fitted with new Duez fasteners, and the correct jack/wheel brace sourced. Finished in Damask Red with black interior, this cool looking MG has the looks of the legendary Sebring racers, at a fraction of the price.

Lot 216
The Chairman of Jaguar at the time 'Lofty' England declared that the new V12 luxury saloon was to be baptised the Daimler Double-Six and a legend was born. The Series III, the final derivative of the Daimler Double-Six, arrived in 1979 and like its predecessors benefitted from the clean cut, new body designed by famed Italian design house, Pininfarina. The new design featured more glass, slightly squarer lines around the roof area and up to date front and rear styling. The Series III soldiered on until the early 90’s, outliving the XJ6, the departure of which was delayed by problems installing the engine in the new XJ40 series. This was the flagship car in the Jaguar/Daimler line and was produced until the very end of 1992. It would be hard to imagine news footage of the 1980’s and early 1990’s without a member of the cabinet or the House of Windsor ascending elegantly out of a Double-Six. No other car of that period epitomised brisk luxury travel like a Daimler and in such a truly understated British fashion. This car was not concerned with the pomp and showmanship of a Rolls-Royce, it was a Daimler and it meant business. Imported from Japan and registered in the UK in 2016, this beautiful Series III Double-Six is finished in Catkin metallic with Doeskin leather interior. This model is the most desirable with its smooth 5.3 litre V12 engine providing plenty of power and it comes with power steering, air conditioning, headlamp wash wipe and electric windows throughout. Having covered a mere 79,183km (49,202 miles), this 32 year old Daimler is in time-warp condition. The paintwork is unmarked as is the interior, with the leather showing no signs of wear, the walnut dashboard and door trims are also unblemished. Supplied with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 4th April 2025, together with a good collection of invoices from its time in the UK and the Japanese handbooks. This is a great example of this timeless British classic which still oozes luxury in abundance. Consigned by Stewart Banks.

This charming scuttle-mounted headlamp car, which has magneto ignition was acquired by the family in 1989 and was a barn find in poor condition, as can be observed she has been the subject of body and upholstery renovation and has had considerable work carried out to the mechanic components. A plate is attached to the inside of the near-side door: "Supplied by Frank A. Bloomfield, Automotive Engineer, Braintree, Phone 5". The Information Folder includes a photo-copy of the Instruction Book, a leaflet for Blu Magnetos for four cylinder automobile engines, a V5C registration document, an old Road Act 1920 Registration Book (in which she is recorded as originally being finished in green & black) and various M.O.T. certificates dating from 1997 to 2002. There are also various invoices dating from 1993-1994 and it is noted that the engine had a re-bore in June 1995. A new 6 volt battery is fitted.

Lot 424
A true labour of love, this is one of the finest Capris we have ever presented with multiple show wins attesting to its quality. In 1984, Ford's 2.8 Injection Capri was the subject of a substantial upgrade and became known as the Capri Injection Special. This development used Recaro half leather seats and included a limited-slip differential. Externally, the car could easily be distinguished by the 7-spoke RS wheels and its colour-coded grille and headlamp surround. Packed with performance and character, it paved the way for the Capri 280. Whilst a young man, our vendor used to often pass by his local Ford dealership and dream of the day he would own a brand new Capri Special. Nonetheless, despite much hard work and scrupulous saving he was never in the position to buy one from new, the model discontinued and the dream passed.Inspired by a visit to the NEC Classic Motor show in 2006, he viewed a very special Rosso Red 2.8 Injection on display and that proved to be his inspiration to create the Capri you see here, 'A New Capri!' Having owned eight other Capris subsequently, he set himself the unenviable task of creating the car you see here. He acquired a base car in his colour of choice, Mercury Grey, and then set about building a 'new car', using every new/old stock part he could find. Engaging the renowned Stuart Baldy, owner of Restore A Ford, to do the bodywork, the car was built up over a period of over five years. Stuart himself had recently stated that the car is a complete one off even by his standards. Whilst it might be possible to list the parts fitted, it may be more prudent to suggest that pretty much every part of this remarkable car has been disassembled, prepared by hand and put back together.New/old stock rear spoiler, Goodyear Eagle NCT Tyres, bumpers with over-riders, headlamps and all lights, brake pipes removed, hand-finished and then repainted in olive green, the sunroof refitted with a new/old stock seal that is almost impossible to find. A new rear parcel shelf was acquired at extraordinary cost, a new spare wheel cover created using the same grade chipboard supplied by factory and much more. Incredibly, given the normal discolouration that occurs to the leather interior on these cars, the leather was unstitched completely, replaced with matching hide as needed and the seats re-stuffed as new. Likewise the steering wheel, Aston Martin leather now adorns the wheel and feels just right. In fact, looking around this car today, it feels like we are observing a brand new, reborn 1987 Capri, just as it left the factory. The only tell-tale sign that it's a little different is the headlamp wash wipe fitment on the front bumpers. Only fitted to European cars typically, as the left-hand drive format left space for the fitment of the pumps, our vendor wanted that replication and so cleverly managed to route the system through the chassis rail, completely hidden but absolutely operational. Otherwise, as was 'de rigueur' at the time, the clocks were reset to zero and the car shows minimal usage since, having only been to shows and cosseted ever since. This remarkable transformation took well over five years to complete, but what a result. Were a figure to be calculated as to the build cost, it would be in excess of £70,000 more at today’s prices, but that is not the point.This car has won Best in Show at various events across the years, and it's really no wonder why. Bearing in mind the restoration was completed in early 2015, it's condition today bears witness to the quality of that restoration at the time. It has been stored lovingly in recent times, other cars have joined the Collection and have also been shown successfully so that now the time has come for our client to part ways with the Capri. Coming to sale with a fresh MOT, for our vendor the thought of seeing the car being shown again would be payment in itself. For any fan of the Capri, this is a remarkable reference piece. For any enthusiast who would wish to show their classic, this is an example that could be taken home today and shown tomorrow with an almost guaranteed chance of success.Specification Make: FORD Model: CAPRI 2.8 INJECTION Year: 1987 Chassis Number: WF0CXXGAECGR71260 Registration Number: E969 ROK Transmission: Manual Engine Number: GR71260 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Grey Half LeatherClick here for more details and images
Lot 408
Only 75 examples were ever made for the UK-market and these delightful drivers' cars are seemingly undervalued given their desirable status as the ultimate 924. Volkswagen's decision not to proceed with their designed-by-Porsche 914 replacement led to the latter taking on the project themselves. Launched in November 1975, the resulting 924 drew heavily on Volkswagen/Audi components: the 2-litre, four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine being a development of the Audi 100's, and the 4-speed transaxle a VW unit. A 5-speed Porsche-designed gearbox and improvements to the suspension were early developments and in 1978 came the first truly high-performance 924 - the Turbo. The latter's extra 45bhp raised the top speed to around 150mph and this figure would be further improved upon by the 924 Carrera GT. A road model with competition potential, the luxuriously equipped Carrera GT was launched at the 1979 Frankfurt Show. Easily distinguishable from lesser 924s by virtue of its bonnet air intake and widened wheel arches, the Carrera GT was built in limited numbers - only 406 were made - 400 cars being the minimum requirement to gain homologation for rallying and 'Group 4' events. The standard version came with 210bhp but this could be boosted to well over 300bhp for racing. Three cars were entered by the works in the 1980 Le Mans 24-Hour Race, finishing sixth, 12th and 13th.Offered here is a UK-supplied 924 Carrera GT sold by Maltin Car Concessionaires Ltd in February 1981, its first owners having specified the C-16 (UK-spec) GT in Guards Red with a black leatherette and black/red pinstripe interior. Options included headlamp washers, electric door mirrors, rear window wiper, sport steering wheel, sport shocks, electric windows, 911-type forged alloy wheels and air-conditioning.On offer from a private Collection of landmark Porsches from all eras, our knowledgeable vendor sourced this example from a specialist dealer in 2015 to form part of his garage. Since 2015, it has been correctly dry-stored and maintained impeccably by highly regarded marque specialists, Autofarm. Within the extensive history file are invoices that outline significant investment for works that appear to amount to a mechanical refresh.The beautifully presented history file includes a copy of the original factory spec, complete ownership history, MOTs dating back to 1985, tax discs, a wealth of invoices for maintenance over the years, the book pack including the original service book, current V5C and various other documents.This rare and exciting Porsche is presented to auction absolutely up to date, having just been checked over and serviced by Autofarm on 28th June 2024 with a fresh MOT valid until July 2025. This is a great opportunity to take ownership of a rarely seen Porsche that is guaranteed to attract all the right attention at any classic car event.Specification Make: PORSCHE Model: 924 Year: 1981 Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZBN700247 Registration Number: AGT 639W Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 31500263 Odometer Reading: 69000 Miles Make: Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
Lot 414
Brighton-built left-hand drive 300 that's been restored to 'show-quality'. The Italian-designed Isetta microcar was built under licence in a number of different countries, including Spain, Belgium, France, Brazil, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Produced in the post-WWII years, a time when cheap, short-distance transportation was most needed, it became one of the most successful and influential city cars ever created. Because of its egg shape and bubble-like windows, it became known as a 'bubble car', a name later given to similar vehicles from other manufacturers.With space for two and their luggage, the Isetta was perfect for the UK's urban and rural roads. In 1957, Isetta of Great Britain began producing the '300' model at their factory in Brighton under licence from BMW. The British cars were right-hand drive with the door hinged from the right-hand side of the car and the steering column moved across to the right as well. Being right-hand drive meant that the driver and engine were on the same side, so a counterweight was added to the left side to compensate. Lucas electrics replaced the German Hella and Bosch components, with a different headlamp housing being used, and Girling brake components replaced the ATE brake parts. In 1962, Isetta of Great Britain stopped production of the little cars but continued to produce Isetta engines until 1964.This lovely, show quality, Brighton-built, left-hand drive BMW Isetta 300 still sports its original Essex/Suffolk registration, 87 RPU. Being left-hand drive, it's a bit lighter than the RHD cars as it doesn't carry the 27kg counterweight. It's finished in a smart Powder Blue with a crisp blue/white plaid interior and is complete with a luggage rack. All Isettas came with a sunroof, not so much as a luxury feature, but essential for climbing out if someone parked too close to the front. The history file contains a 1976 copy of the original 'buff' logbook and a letter from the BMW Isetta Club. Infrequently used recently, we would recommend a light recommissioning. Values of these great little cars have continued to rise and, at today's guide, this little Powder Blue 300 seems good value.Specification Make: BMW Model: ISETTA Year: TBA Chassis Number: A3 15872 Registration Number: 87 RPU Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 46389 Miles Make: LHDClick here for more details and images

2-litre Triumph Vitesse-based two-seat Special, superbly crafted, beautifully presented and totally evocative of those glamorous Sports Racers from the 1950s. As an ex-pattern maker and fibreglass laminator at Sunseeker Yachts, Glan Richards was totally familiar with contemporary design, yet his passion was for those glorious, curvaceous sports cars and sports racers from the 1950s. Cars created at a time when body panels were hand-shaped with hammers and wheels, dashboards were made of metal, seat belts were optional and impact bumpers, effective crumple zones, airbag steering wheels and pedestrian-friendly front ends were some way in the future.Over a period of approximately ten months, Glan and colleagues shaped and created the Formosas fibreglass bodyshell, incorporating many of the features and styling cues from those fabulous 1950s racers. A close look will offer reminders of Jaguars C-Type, Maseratis 300S, the Ferrari 750 Monza, Astons DBR1 and others but, as the design didn't lean heavily or replicate any particular marque or model, it avoided all the copyright and patent issues that have recently caused replica builders legal problems. The Formosa was designed to accept the chassis and running gear from a Triumph Vitesse or a Reliant Scimitar SE5A and, by utilising the majority of the donor, minus the bodyshell, it retained the cars classic status, registration, chassis number, etc., still a true 1960s classic, just wearing a different suit of clothes.This particular Formosa 120GR is based on a 2-litre Triumph Vitesse first registered on 1st May 1963 and has covered just 13,559 miles since the build. It was assembled in 2019/20 by Formosa 'guru', Dave Thickins and sold to its first owner in December 2021. Motivation is provided by a twin-carb 1,998cc Triumph six-cylinder generating around 100bhp and mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. The car is finished in an an attractive shade of steel blue metallic, a couple of shades down from Ecurie Ecosse blue enhanced by a single white 'racing stripe'. External sporty features include a single race-style rear headrest, quick release bonnet catches, twin period side mirrors, centre-mounted chrome filler cap, 'Speedster' style Perspex windscreen, Perspex headlamp covers with P700 lamps, an 'egg crate' front grille, painted wire wheels and a full mohair Tonneau cover.More recent work includes custom-made, fully cushioned, sling back blue leather seats, angled correctly for optimum comfort, new harness seat belts, additional trimming to dash and other parts, new rubber mats, a battery cut out switch, K and N filters and an upgraded fuel tank. It's eligible for free historic road tax (ULEZ exempt!), inexpensive classic car insurance and is MOT-exempt.The Formosa is supplied with its current V5C, an MOT valid until 5th December 2024, an HPI 'all clear' certificate, spare keys, knock-on wheel hammer and spinner spanner, Vitesse owners manual and workshop manual, a toolbag with sundry items and its history file.We understand that this good-looking period road-race style special Triumph is great fun to drive and delivers a nostalgic raspy exhaust note through a single exhaust pipe.

Registration - E183 SFXChassis No. - WPO22292ZJN400590M.O.T. - October 2024Odometer - 80,771This a rare opportunity to acquire one of just 74 RHD UK-market limited edition 924Ss which were built in celebration of Porsche’s win at Le Mans in 1988. Of the 74, 37 were produced in Alpine white livery and 34 in the black livery sported by ‘E183 SFX’. Generally regarded as the most desirable 924 model, the 924S Le Mans is immediately identifiable by its Le Mans logos and turquoise stripes and boasts a factory-fitted, 165bhp 2.5-litre Porsche 944 engine, lowered/adjustable sports suspension, electric sunroof, headlamp washers, power steering and cast alloy wheels, plus special sports seats, grey fabric trim with turquoise pinstriping, and sport steering wheel. ‘E183 SFX’ comes with a certificate of production documenting all the Le Mans edition optional equipment and a full history covering the past 14 years – throughout which time it has been in the current keeper’s ownership. In December 2006 the car was a category D insurance write-off but repaired and returned to full health to provide motoring enjoyment for subsequent owners. The vendor describes the engine, bodywork and five-speed manual transmission as ‘excellent’ and the electrics, paintwork and refurbished interior as ‘good’. The car has recently benefited from new brake disks, part-stainless exhaust, new sunroof motor and new speedometer cog. Once treated as something of an outsider by Porsche aficionados, the 924 has become an increasingly sought-after member of the family, The 924 served as Porsche’s entry-level model from 1976 to 1988 and effectively supplanted both the mid-engined 914 and the 912. It was the first Porsche to be powered by a water-cooled, front-mounted engine and the first to be offered with a fully automatic transmission. A joint venture with VAG, it was penned by Porsche designer Harm Lagaay and built by Volkswagen employees at the former NSU factory in Neckarsulm. By 1984 Volkswagen had decided to cease manufacture of the blocks for the 924 engine. Porsche’s solution was to install a slightly detuned version of the 2.5-litre unit from its 944 and so the 150bhp 924S was born. Barely slower than the 924 Turbo and slightly quicker than the base model 944, the S proved very popular on both sides of the Atlantic, and some 33,338 examples were eventually produced. In summary:· One of just 37 black-liveried RHD Le Mans edition 924S models produced for the UK market· An opportunity to acquire one of the most sought-after and desirable 924S variants· The special edition specification includes a 165bhp factory-fitted 944 engine

The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five-link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front airbags.

Registration No: M824 UMO Chassis No: WDB1240662C202965 MOT: December 2024 • Sought after, UK-supplied, W124 Convertible • Part of a private collection since 2019 • Used for touring around the UK and Europe Introduced in 1986, the W124-series was arguably the last Mercedes-Benz model range to have its design parameters laid down by engineers rather than accountants. Based around a lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic bodyshell than its predecessor, the newcomer could be had in saloon, estate, coupe or cabriolet guises. Re-branded as the E-class in 1993, the mid-size Mercedes remained the class benchmark throughout its nine-year European production life. Among the more sporting variants, the E320 Cabriolet was powered by a 3199cc DOHC 24-valve (216bhp/229lbft) straight-six engine allied to automatic transmission. Admirably refined, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in eight seconds and 140mph. Built to order number 0453750530 for the UK market, chassis WDB1240662C202965 left the factory finished in the handsome combination of Tourmaline Green metallic with Beige leather upholstery and a Black soft-top. A desirable Sportline model, its specification also included air-conditioning, sports chassis, 8-hole alloy wheels, heated front seats and headlamp wash/wipe. Entering the current (seventh) ownership during 2019, the Mercedes-Benz is said to have proven ‘totally reliable’ whilst undertaking tour-type rallies all around the UK and Europe (its most recent being a two-week sortie to Norway). Marque specialist serviced earlier this month and wearing its 145,000 miles well, this appealing E320 Cabriolet is MOT’d until December and a reluctant sale due to downsizing.

Registration No: S434 FWY Chassis No: SAJJGAED3AH034458 MOT: None • c.78,000 recorded miles • Just 3 former keepers and current ownership since 2010 • Offered with original owners wallet, handbooks and service book • Collection of invoices, old MOT certificates and current V5C Living up to expectations can be a burden. Consider the handsome Geoff Lawson-penned XK8 that followed in the wheeltracks of such automotive icons as the XK120 and immortal E-type. Like the E-Type before it, the XK8 made its debut at the Geneva Motorshow - that of 1996 - and, from launch, was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise. Like its immediate predecessor, the XJS, the original XK8 was more of a Grand Tourer than an outright sports car. It also had the distinction of being the first Jaguar to be powered by an eight cylinder engine. This then, was a cat with strong DNA but also its own distinctive, endearing personality. At the time of the newcomer's unveiling, Jaguar Cars was owned by Ford, as was Aston Martin, and it made sound economic sense for the XK8 and similarly targeted DB7 to share the same platform; which itself was derived from that of the outgoing XJS. The biggest of many differences between new and old, was the adoption of Jaguar's second generation independent rear suspension system, previously found on the XJ40 Saloon. Prior to 2003, power came from either a normally aspirated (XK8) or supercharged (XKR) 4.0-litre version of the company's DOHC V8 AJ26 engine. From 2003 to the end of production in 2006, the 4.2-litre AJ34 unit was employed. In each case, the engine was allied to either a five or six-speed (from 1997 onwards) automatic transmission. Supplied by Perrys Jaguar in Huddersfield on 1st December 1998, today this XK8 displays c.78,000 recorded miles and with just 3 former keepers recorded and current ownership since 2010. The specification ordered in 1998 appears to include the classic leather pack, electric and heated mirrors, cold climate pack – with heated front seats, heated windscreen and headlamp washers, adaptive damping, cruise control and, of course, the attractive Antigua Blue Metallic paint. The Jaguar book pack is present and includes the Service Record booklet with 10 stamps. 7 service stamps at main dealer Grange Jaguar, Brentwood, Essex on 27.9.99 at 10,349 miles; 15.11.2000 at 18,963 miles; 29.10.01 at 22,596 miles; 8.1.02 at 26,270 miles; 18.12.03 at 33,002 miles; 24.11.04 at 38,621 miles; 8.12.05 at 42,759 miles. A further 3 stamps were with independent specialist Glen Jags on 19.5.11 at 64,105 miles - with secondary timing chains and tensioners replaced; 6.8.14 at 73,289 miles; 19.5.18 at 73,689 miles. Many of the service receipts are to be found within the history file. Within the later invoices, a receipt on file from April 2018, shows new rear bumper brackets were fitted and preparation and paint to the edges of the wheel arches with undersealing the areas and underseal applied to sill cavities. Offered with the original owners wallet, handbooks and service book, a large collection of invoices and notes, XK8 sales literature, old MOT certificate, and current V5C the Jaguar is now in need of recommissioning after a period of storage.

Registration No: G306 UDV Chassis No: WDB1260342A524109 MOT: T.B.A • Very attractive colour of Seafoam Green Metallic with Tan leather interior • Recently provided with two new wings and a full repaint Rated by the vendor as ‘good’, ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ in all aspects Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1979, the new W126 S-class was a quantifiable improvement over its W116 predecessor. Lauded by the contemporary motoring press as the 'best car in the world', it was not only lighter than its forebear but also offered an improved ride and sharper handling. Styled by Bruno Sacco, its sleek silhouette hid all round independent suspension, disc brakes, power assisted steering and a range of powerful all alloy V8 engines (later supplemented by more fuel efficient straight sixes). A staple part of numerous diplomatic fleets in period, the W126 remains sought after to this day thanks to its impeccable build quality and timeless lines. One of the more prestigious variants, the 420 SE Saloon was fitted with a fuel-injected 4196cc SOHC V8 engine that developed some 231bhp and 240lbft of torque. Admirably refined, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.3 seconds and over 135mph. 1 of just 13,996 produced (making it the second rarest W126 standard wheelbase saloon variant after the 560 SE). Manufactured in 1990, the 420 SE offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 17th of January. Finished from the factory in the rare and appealing colour of Seafoam Green Metallic paintwork with a Tan leather interior upholstery, the SE was well-specified from new with paintwork protection, headlamp cleaning equipment, electric sliding sunroof, burred walnut trim, blinker lamps, air-conditioning, green tinted glass, heated rear window, and air-conditioning. ‘G306 UDV’ was subject to an insurance write-off to Category C in 2015 but has since been repaired. Acquired by the vendor in 2022, the 420 SE was thereafter provided with a cosmetic restoration including two new wings and a full repaint. Offered now having 133,000 miles on the odometer, the Mercedes-Benz has had seven former keepers. ‘G306 UDV’ is supplied with a history file that includes the original stamped service book that covers the early history of the Mercedes, when the SE covered a sizeable amount of its mileage, with nine services documented between 1990 and 2000, almost all by Mercedes-Benz main agents or specialists, and up to some 54,000 miles. Further accompanied by a collection of invoices for the parts purchased in current ownership, the vendor rates the Mercedes-Benz as having ‘good’ engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment ‘very good’ interior trim and bodywork, and ‘excellent’ paintwork.

The original Audi C5 RS 6 Quattro was the top-of-the-line user of the Volkswagen Group C5 platform and was initially available as a five-door five-seat Avant - Audi's name for an estate or station wagon. Derived from the Audi C5 A6 the RS6 also shares the aluminium structure from the firewall and forward with the C5 A6s with V8 engines. Official performance figures for the Avant, 0 - 62.1 mph in 4.6 seconds, reaching 124.3 mph in 22.8 seconds. Official figures state an electronically limited top speed 155.3 mph, although most ‘RS’ owners report that the speed limiter is rather liberal on all RS cars, with genuine 'limited' top speeds of 167.8 mph being possible to achieve.First registered in April 2004, this RS6 Avant is finished in the attractive hue of Mugello Blue Pearl with brushed aluminium-effect door mirror covers, over a black cabin with contrasting cream leather upholstery, featuring a black Alcantara headlining, Recaro seats, embossed ‘RS6’ lettering on the seat backs and wood veneer trim inlays. A C5-generation Audi RS6 Avant is an appealing and very well-kept example of the lauded modern classic ‘super estate’, and this one is offered with three owners from new and supported by a detailed Audi main dealer service/maintenance history. Under the bonnet sits a twin-turbocharged 4.2-litre V8, delivering around 444bhp to all four wheels via a five-speed ZF automatic transmission with paddle shift. The factory specification includes front and rear parking sensors, headlamp washers, an Audi Navigation plus media system with satellite navigation, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, electrically adjustable heated front seats, heated rear seats, and a Bose sound system including boot-mounted 6 CD autochanger. The car comes with all the owner’s manuals with a black leather wallet, two key fobs, a hard-back sales brochure, the box for the RS6 keyring, all tools, the V5C, the fully stamped service booklet and an extensive collection of maintenance invoices, MOT certificates and printouts.

For most cars there is a curve one can follow to monitor their prices for an average example. Every so often however there is a spike and this represents something very special indeed, this car is one of those spikes. In 20 years of car valuations in the auction industry, Historics has never seen a 944 of this quality. Under the bonnet there is not a spot of oil or grease mark to be seen. In our humble opinion, if you want the best, this is it. Indeed, Porsche Club of Great Britain, in their traditionally understated way described it as “very well presented and fully restored”. Their valuation however tells a slightly more effusive story, £23,000.Presented in the official launch colour of metallic Velvet Red, it was originally sold through Porsche main agents, Coopers in Exeter. It was optioned with headlamp washers, white front fog lights, an alarm system, ABS braking and still has its very rare original Porsche sunroof bag. The service history is extensive with most recent invoices from Parr, Porsche specialists based in West Sussex. Just last year (52 miles ago) they carried out a major cambelt service to the tune of £2,791. Additional Parr invoices continue back to 2015 with further invoices right back to 2007. Also included, of course, is the correct owners pack with service book comprehensively stamped right up to last year or 53 miles ago. Most importantly however, is one of the most recent invoices. This details, over four pages, the cost of a full glass-out, bare-metal repaint by Parr, once again. Total cost, over £13,000. The current custodian has been meticulous in his maintenance and looks after his collection very well indeed and, interestingly, included is the original sales brochure featuring a similar car in this exact colour and specification along with a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche GB. These one year only, 2.7 litre models are becoming increasing rare and this car surly represents a wonderful example of Porsche’s 1980s transaxle history.

In 2001, three years after the launch of the Rover 75, and less than a year after the demerger of MG Rover from BMW, the MG ZT and MG ZT-T were launched. During the cars' development, the models were codenamed X10 and X11, for the saloon and estate versions, respectively. The basic shape and styling of the MG ZT remained the same as for the Rover 75 but with changes to the front bumper, now with an integrated grille, and detail alterations including colour coding of the chromed waistline, a new boot lid plinth, and different alloy wheels and tyres sizes. During the first few months of 2004, MG Rover facelifted the design of the ZT and ZT-T to a less retro look, at the same time as the Rover 75 received a facelift. This didn't feature much in the way of mechanical differences to the ZT, most changes were merely aesthetic. The main changes to the car included the replacement of the twin headlamps, with a new, clear single headlamp unit. Between 2003 and 2006 the top of the ZT range, and the rarest, was rear wheel drive and powered by the Ford 4601cc V8 engine giving 300bhp, 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 155mph.Originally registered on 16th January 2006 this Rover ZT-T presents well in black with a black interior. These are great cars to drive with endless power available, a relatively unassuming vehicle from the outside, with the only visible feature being the large bore exhausts. However, start the engine and suddenly you become aware of the Ford Mustang 4.6 litre V8 under the bonnet. This is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox making this a true drivers car and one to really enjoy on the open road. Performance is put at 260bhp and 407NM of torque. Manufactured in relatively small numbers, it is thought less than 200 were produced, meaning this could well prove to be a shrewd purchase. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 7th November 2024. A stylish estate car, best described as ‘a wolf in sheeps’ clothing’. Consigned by Stewart Banks.Guide £9,000-£12,000 A RARE EXAMPLE, THOUGHT TO BE LESS THAN 200 MANUFACTUREDMANUAL GEARBOX, WHAT A GREAT CAR THIS WILL BE TO DRIVE.
