Registration No: WKY 557K Chassis No: 2211851 MOT: September 2025Subject to an older, extensive restorationUnderstood to have covered c.116,000 milesOffered with original green logbook and the original service bookIn current family ownership for some 40 yearsBMW's so called 'new class' compact Saloons and Coupes manufactured between 1962 and 1975 quite simply saved the company from extinction. Introduced in 1965, the 2000C and 2000CS Coupes featured distinctive-looking Karmann-built bodies and luxurious interiors and, having set a trend, were superseded in 1968 by the first of the E9 Coupes - the 2800CS. The length and wheelbase of the newcomer were extended to accommodate the 2788cc straight-six engine from the E3 Saloon, and the nose of the Karmann monocoque body was restyled to echo that of its four-door sibling. The fully independent suspension was by MacPherson struts up front and semi-trailing arms at the rear. Braking was still by disc/drums and the steering by a power-assisted ball and nut system. The 2800CS was supplanted by the 3.0CS and 3.0CSi in 1971, for which the engine was bored out to give a capacity of 2986cc. In CS guise, the silky-smooth six-cylinder engine had an output of 180bhp, which was sufficient to rush the handsome Coupe to 60mph in 7.9 seconds and on to a top speed of over 120mph. The average fuel consumption was quoted as 21mpg.In current family ownership for some 40 years, the 3.0 CS has been owned by the vendor and his brother since 1983. Supplied new by Lazenby Garages Ltd, Leicestershire in 1972, it is understood to have covered the displayed c.116,000 miles since 1972.The 3.0 CS presents as an older restoration that was initiated by the vendor and carried out c.1987 at their chosen garage, at a total cost of £6,444.45 (over £17,500 today) and included £3,400 in labour, £2,561.50 for parts, £482.95 in paint and a detail of the paint once complete. Although 37 years have passed, it is worth noting the extent of the 1987 restoration work included new metal and new panels where necessary. This included inner wings, a front panel, headlamp back panels, floor pans, inner sills, inner wheel arches, the rear bulkhead, attention paid to the axle mounts and shock absorber turret tops, rear quarter panels, rear lower valance panel, new door skins and the use of Waxoyl in cavities and stone-chip applied to vulnerable areas. The restoration concluded with a paint in the original colour, believed to be Polaris Silver Metallic. The original service book is included along with original green logbook, period BMW Europa service station map, Haynes manual and various service information, a collection of invoices dating back to the 1980s, a collection of MOTs back to the 1980s and a garage prepared description of work done. The 3.0 CS is offered with the original service book and an original old green logbook on file and current V5C on file.

Registration No: F457 XWP Chassis No: WP0ZZZ92ZJS840533 MOT: NoneJust 77,200 miles from new as supported by twenty service stamps plus old MOTs and invoicesEntered from a deceased estate and bought by its late (seventh) owner for £24,995 in 2019Subsequently treated to over £8,000 worth of expenditure with Porsche Centre ChesterOffered with book pack including handbooks and the stamped service bookLast serviced in June 2023 (c.100 miles ago)Introduced at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show, the 928 was conceived (and priced) as the flagship of the Porsche range. A luxurious GT, it was styled in-house by American Tony Lapine as a replacement for the ageing, compromised 911. Ultimately, it failed to usurp its tail-heavy sibling despite becoming the only sports car ever to win the European Car of the Year title in 1978. Built around a galvanised steel monocoque, it made extensive use of aluminium for its wheels, doors, bonnet, transaxle housing, front suspension wishbones, rear suspension uprights, upper links and main cross member. This practice not only saved weight but also contributed to the near perfect 49:51 weight distribution. Available with a choice of manual or automatic transmission (housed in its award-winning passive rear steer Weissach transaxle) the 928 was regarded as a crushingly capable Grand Tourer. The subject of a continual development programme, it evolved through S and S2 guises before the arrival of the S4 version in Autumn 1986 (the 'S3' being a US market only model). Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds and 165mph, the newcomer was powered by an enlarged 4957cc DOHC 32-valve V8 that developed some 316bhp and 317lbft of torque. Equipped with air conditioning as standard, the aerodynamically improved S4 was visually distinguished by a reprofiled nose and revised tail (the latter incorporating new light clusters and a larger spoiler). Finished in the classic combination of Silver with Black leather upholstery, this UK market (C16) example was supplied new via Charles Follett Ltd of London to G. MacKay Esq. Equipped with an electric sunroof, Blaupunkt stereo and automatic transmission, the 2+2-seater is warranted to have covered some 77,000 miles from new. The twenty stamps in its accompanying service book begin and end with Porsche main dealer entries. Entered from a deceased estate, the late owner became the Coupe’s seventh keeper when he bought it from SJ Specialist Cars Ltd of Wigan on 30th March 2019. Despatched to Porsche Centre Chester at the end of that same year, ‘F457 XWP’ had attention paid to its fuel system, exhaust, undertray, rear windscreen wiper spark plugs, headlamp washers and brakes (new discs and pads all round) plus a service at a cost of £6,519.34. Little used since returning to the same garage for another bout of maintenance at 77,104 miles on June 8th 2023 (£969.43), the 928 S4 was noted to be losing coolant during our recent photography session. An enticing prospect despite the need for some recommissioning, this handsome, low mileage 928 S4 is offered with the V5C Registration Document, original book pack, Porsche-branded in-car telephone and assorted old MOTs and invoices.

Registration No: YK58 OUE Chassis No: WDB2304582F153799 MOT: September 2025Only 1 owner from newWarranted under 35,000 miles from newFinished in Obsidian Black paintwork with Black leather interiorSupplied with the book pack with documented service historyThe R230 was introduced in 2001 and continued the evolution of SL with smoother body design and new peanut-shaped headlamp design. The fifth-generation SL-Class featured a 'Vario Roof' retractable hardtop, Active Body Control (ABC) active suspension system, Keyless Go keyless entry and smart key, and Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) electro-hydraulic power brake system. In 2008, the R230 SL underwent a significant facelift featuring new and revised engines and a new front end that evoked the classic 300 SL with a large grille, a prominent three-pointed star and twin "power domes" on the bonnet. It also features new headlights, which give the car the modern look it enjoys with an optional "Intelligent Light System" and a new speed sensitive steering system.Manufactured in 2008, this early facelift SL 350 example was road registered new on the 17th of October that year to its first owner and has been retained by that lady since, and until recently has always worn a private registration number. Well specified from new with five-spoke alloy wheels, heated electric memory seats, Mercedes COMAND APS, climate control, tyre pressure sensors, heated screen wash system, bi-xenon headlamps, and Parktronic, the ‘YK58 OUE’ is finished in Obsidian Black paintwork with Black leather interior and ‘Black Ash’ wood trim, the roof features a Panoramic sunroof.Offered now having covered a warranted under 35,000 miles from new, the SL has benefitted from a recent new battery as well as a full service in September this year and was provided with an MOT at the same time which is passed without any advisories. Accompanied by a history file that contains the book pack, collection of service invoices, current V5C document, and two sets of keys. A wonderful balance of sport, technology, and luxury, low mileage and ownership examples of the second-generation R230 are potentially a smart investment for the future.

Registration No: 929 WML Chassis No: B321BR MOT: November 2025Lavishly maintained whilst in the ownership of a preeminent trauma surgeon for whom reliability was paramount (including the fitment of a factory exchange engine less than 10,000 miles ago)Significantly improved since last being retailed by renowned dealer Frank Dale & Stepsons for £51,000Detailed history file with service records dating back to 1965Worthy of close inspectionLaunched in 1959, the Bentley S2 and its sister car the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II were seemingly visually interchangeable with the outgoing S1 and Cloud I models. Although, underpinned by the same chassis layout as their predecessors (complete with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and all-round, servo-assisted drum brakes), the duo boasted an all-new powerplant. Rolls-Royce's first V8 engine since the Edwardian 30HP 'Legalimit', the 6230cc unit gave notable improvements in both power and flexibility. Suddenly, these wonderfully elegant if un-aerodynamic saloons were capable of close to 120mph via their four-speed automatic gearboxes. A strong sales success, especially in the USA, the Cloud II's introduction led David Ogilvy's advertising agency to produce the classic tag line "At 60 mph the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock".According to its accompanying RREC copy build records, chassis B321BR was completed with various ‘special features’ including: a steering wheel mounted headlamp dipping switch, B-post marker lights and electric windows. Supplied new via Jack Barclay Ltd to the prosperous textile merchant Herbert Kreuzer Esq on April 28th 1960, the Bentley initially carried his personalised number plate ‘TYE 11’. Registered to the London SW1 pied-a-terre address of E.L. Windsor Esq four years later, the S2 is understood to have subsequently belonged to B.D. Ely Esq and Leslie Wheeler Esq before being bought by the eminent orthopaedic and trauma surgeon Mr John Miles Kingsmill-Moore from Sunningdale Motors of Ascot on December 9th 1992. Initially entrusting the saloon’s maintenance to Derek Jarman, Mr Kingsmill-Moore then used marque specialist Royce Service & Engineering to ensure that the chances of him breaking down en route to an operating theatre were as minimal as possible. To this end the power steering and suspension were overhauled, the brakes rejuvenated, an exchange engine obtained directly from the Crewe factory and the heater matrix renewed etc. Substantially improved since it was last retailed by the renowned dealer Frank Dale & Stepsons for £51,000 in July 2021, chassis B321SR now rides on Avon tyres all round and has had its original Tan leather upholstery and Wilton carpets deep cleaned. Indeed, the hides have been so successfully rejuvenated by the ex-Connolly Bros craftsmen at Leathercare that they almost look to have been replaced. Having covered less than 10,000 miles on its factory replacement powerplant (the associated cost of which totalled £14,194.72) and had far more spent on it than most surviving S2s, this delightful Bentley is worthy of close inspection as its detailed, chronological history file which lists maintenance as far back as 1965! A special car.PLEASE NOTE: This car is currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer. A V5C Registration Document for '929 WML' will be forwarded to the successful purchaser.

Registration - D799 FYJChassis No. - WBAEC820108187207M.O.T. - June 2025Odometer - 134,000The classic BMW 6 Series is a highly desirable car for aficionados, and this 1986 model is particularly alluring as it is offered at No Reserve. Registered in December 1986, this regal BMW 635CSI has a 3.5-litre straight-six engine paired with a silky-smooth automatic gearbox; both are described as being in ‘excellent’ condition. This classy silver coupe, which has an odometer reading 134,000 miles, also comes with a hefty lever arch folder which extensively details its history, including previous repairs. It comes with an MOT valid until June 2025 – and it is just a few years away from being tax and MOT exempt. ‘D799FYJ’ has had a full underbody restoration, including professional welding to a very high standard. A new OEM fuel tank has been fitted, along with refurbished suspension including new bushes and drop links. The brakes have been fully refurbished too, as have the alloy wheels, and this BMW 635CSI is fitted with Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres. Inside, the black leather interior forms a classy combination with the silver paintwork, and luxury features include front and rear electric windows and an electric sunroof. Other desirable features include air conditioning, a BMW-branded stereo, a period trip computer and the famous BMW ‘check control’ panel. ‘D799FYJ’ even has headlamp wipers for the dual round lights! The original E24 BMW 6 Series was introduced in 1976, with the classic two-door coupe sold right up to 1989. A luxury coupe alternative to the range-topping E23 BMW 7 Series, it was powered by a range of classic BMW straight-six engines. Earlier models used E12 BMW 5 Series-derived suspension, with the 1982 facelift bringing suspension, brakes and electrics from the more modern E28 BMW 5 Series. A compelling four-seat GT coupe, the BMW 6 Series oozes class and is now very much an appreciating classic. In summary:Desirable BMW 6 Series offered at No ReserveClassy colour combination and desirable extras include air conditioningExtensive history file details work including a full underbody restoration
Officially unveiled on 8th October, 1986, the XJ40 was an all-new redesign of the XJ to replace the Series III, although the two model ranges were sold concurrently until the Series III was discontinued in 1992. The XJ40 used the Jaguar independent rear suspension arrangement and featured several technological enhancements (such as an electronic instrument cluster). Initially, only two engines were offered across the XJ40 models: a 2.9 litre and a 3.6 litre version of the AJ6 inline-six. The curvaceous lines of the outgoing Series XJ were replaced by the more angular, geometric shape of the XJ40. The nose of the car would accommodate either matched pairs of round headlights or rectangular single units; the latter were fitted to the higher-specification Sovereign and Daimler trim levels. The Sovereign model came equipped with significantly more features than the base XJ6. Included was air conditioning, headlamp washers, a six-speaker sound system, rear self-levelling suspension, anti-lock braking system and box inlaid burr walnut wood trim.This well looked after example is presented in metallic grey with magnolia leather interior both of which are in good general condition. Its 4.0 litre engine is mated to an automatic gearbox providing ample and smooth power to its occupants. Rear headrests, an abundance of leather, very good door cappings in the ubiquitous trim so frequently used by Jaguar for their luxury saloons. Upon delivery, we noticed the car has deloped a slipping fan felt. Consigned by James Good. ONE OWNER FROM NEWLOW MILEAGE

A one year only model, only 250 were built to this specification and very few survived WWII. It’s not clear why the B18 was produced in such small numbers, but it’s possible that the arrival of Val Page at BSA as chief designer was the catalyst. When he arrived in 1936, he discovered that BSA had 18 models in its catalogue, of which six, including the B18, were ‘new’ introductionsIt combined a 1933-vintage 249cc four-stroke single with a 4-speed hand-change gearbox and Lucas Magdyno ignition. It also boasted an 8" headlamp and separate oil tank, to replenish the total-loss oil supply to exposed overhead valve gearThe B18 used a diamond type frame and BSA girder forks and the factory finish was a black frame, chrome plated rims with black centres and chrome plated petrol tank with green panels and black rubber knee padsWe understand that this example has benefitted from a previous restoration, however it appears currently to be in need of further restorative worksSupplied with a current V5, some history and workshop manualsA very rare bike and may well be sought after when returned to top formSpecification Make: BSA Model: B18 DE LUXE Year: 1936 Registration Number: DM 9924 Engine Number: D18608Click here for more details and images

Offered without Reserve from the Grand Tourers Collection, with a detailed history file evidencing decades of maintenance and a modest 55,598 miles. The Grand Tourers Collection was curated by a now deceased gentleman, who amassed some 38 cars at one stage. Each car stands on its own merits, and represents an era of stylish roadsters and hand-built coupes. Offered at No Reserve, the cars are worthy of serious attention.The Interceptor was as much Italian as British, designed as it was by Carrozzeria Touring with the bodyshells built by Vignale before being delivered to the West Bromwich factory to be paired with the inimitable 6.3-litre Chrysler V8 and mechanicals. When new, the Interceptor cost substantially more than an Aston Martin and was double the price of an E-Type Jaguar. One would struggle to find a connection between Frank Sinatra and Sir Matt Busby but both drove an Interceptor. The celebrity ownership list is extensive whilst the Interceptor's appearance on a slew of glamourous TV action series during the period gave the car a certain louche, playboy image.The Interceptor III, introduced in 1971, had a revised front grille, headlamp finishers and bumper treatment. It had GKN alloy wheels and air conditioning as standard, and revised seats. It was divided into G-, H-, and J-series depending on the production year. The 6.3-litre 383 ci engine was superseded by the 7.2-litre 440 ci in 1971.Jensen had fallen on hard times by 1975, owing to the then world-wide recession, and to problems with its Jensen-Healey sports car. The company was placed into receivership and the receivers allowed production to continue until the available cache of parts was exhausted. Production of the Interceptor ended in 1976, marking the end of an era.First registered on 1st September 1973, the incredibly detailed history file shows evidence of decades of maintenance from marque specialists, including the renowned Cropredy Bridge Cars. Offered from six year prior ownership, this charming car is presented with an odometer reading of 55,598 miles at the time of cataloguing, along with reams of receipts and a fresh MOT for the sale.A lovely example tantalizingly offered at without Reserve and worthy of serious attention.Specification Make: JENSEN Model: INTERCEPTOR Year: 1973 Chassis Number: 1368858 Registration Number: NRL 620M Transmission: Autoatic Engine Number: 3C11794 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 55598 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Red LeatherClick here for more details and images
Offered without reserve from the Recreation Collection, this Aristocat was built and registered by Autotune in 2008, sporting a 2.5-litre Mk2 Jaguar engine and a Moss gearbox, substantial upgrades were made in 2013. . The Recreation Collection was assembled by a gentleman, now deceased, who had a passion for cars, owning at one stage some 38 vehicles. A particular enthusiasm of his was for replicas of the rarest and therefore most expensive examples. Judging by the receipts on file and the high prices paid in period, he could’ve bought at least one real example for the price he paid for the others! These are special cars and worthy of serious consideration, offered, tantalisingly as they are, without Reserve.Long before Aston Martin decided to recreate the original DB5 with the same gadgets found in James Bond’s BMT 216A or Jaguar Land Rover’s production of factory copies of the C and D-Type race cars, the Aristocat garnered respect in certain quarters. Engineered from the ground-up, the intention was to make an affordable recreation of the XK140 Coupé. Manufactured by Autotune in 2008 using the engine from Jaguar Mk 2 Saloon and a Moss gearbox, the Aristocat had a well-trimmed interior within a fibreglass shell fabricated and painted to the highest quality.Registered as an Autotune Aristocat on 1st July 2008, the car received substantial upgrades in 2013 that run to an exhaustive list but includes re-chromed bumpers and overiders, Motalita steering wheel, front and rear XK140 badges, headlamp bezels, the list goes on. Mechanically, the carbs were overhauled, as were the brakes, clutch and electrics, with further works listed in the history file.Presented to auction with its V5C, the aforementioned list of works, numerous receipts and brochures and an MOT Certificate valid until 22nd September 2025.It may be of interest that insurance documents found within the file valued this car at £40,000 in 2013.Specification Make: JAGUAR Model: MKII Year: 2008 Chassis Number: 50R0LYAT796CBT309 Registration Number: RYU 675 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: BH8928-8 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 83371 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images

Registration No: KWJ 89K Frame No: 22/2/258455 MOT: ExemptBritish registered from new with its original numberCopy of original green logbook specifies ‘Electronic’Exceptional standard of restorationV5 for immediate use on the roadThe GP200 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters that rolled off of Innocenti’s production line in Milan. Produced from January 1969 until April 1971 it is said a total of only 9350 DL/GP200’s were made. The GP200 followed the SX200 and retained the engine prefix of SX200 before the serial number. The iconic bodywork followed the trends of the day of the early 1970’s. The Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors with a new 22/2 frame and rectangular headlight. There were however significant improvements to the engine over the SX including: improved crankshaft, a complete overhaul of the gearbox ratios and improved Ducati ignition. The electronic version went even further with a 6v electronic ignition and CDI unit and these today are extremely collectible.This GP200 Electronic was registered new on the 2nd of August 1971. Our vendor purchased it in March 2023 and a comprehensive restoration was carried out by renowned and in-demand KTF Scooters of Southport (formerly MS Classics) to a fastidiously high standard. Specific attention has been made to re-create the experience of buying this scooter brand new in a Lambretta showroom back in 1971.Correct to the last detail the scooter retains many of its original parts from assembly in Italy, including all bodywork, sharks teeth, speedometer, handlebars, Stand, forks and fork links, panel clips, fuel cap, rear hub, front disc brake, locks and light switch, headlamp, brake pedal, black toolbox and all ancillary parts under the side panels all are original to this scooter from new. 'This scooter is as all-Italian as you are going to find' according to the vendor. We are informed that the scooter still retains the actual original number plate issued to the scooter in 1971.The engine retains all its original major components other than those perishable parts requiring to be changed for safety and reliability.

Registration No: B350 KPM Frame No: 2540 MOT: NoneRare twin headlamp faired modelPresented in original conditionSupplied with a current V5CLaverda's roots go back to 1873 when Pietro Laverda began producing agricultural equipment in Breganza, Italy and like many Italian firms diversified into motorcycles after WWII, manufacturing good quality and innovative bikes. By the 1960s they had progressed onto bigger capacity engines launching the 750GT in 1969 and the SFC production racer in 1971. The 3-cylinder 1000s were launched in the early 1970s to compete against the new breed of Japanese superbikes, with the Jota being the fastest production motorcycle to date. Various models of the iconic triple were produced until the factory ceased production in the 1980s. This Laverda 1000 is from a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history. According to the V5C, it was sold new in the UK in November 1984 and is possibly one of the RGA models modified by the importers 3X around that time. The obvious difference is the twin headlamp half fairing with the filler cap in the normal place. It is badged as a RGS Jota, but we have not been able to verify its internal specification. Whichever model, this is a rare bike from the later years of the original company's production, not run for a while it will need recommissioning and comes supplied with a current V5C.

Registration No: CKT 49C Frame No: T31917 MOT: ExemptAriel's monocoque-framed two-stroke twinOwned and restored by an ex MGP racerSupplied with green logbook and a V5CAriel first produced bicycles in the late 1800s eventually progressing onto motorcycles in 1902. After a typically rocky few years for manufacturers, in 1932 Jack Sangster bought Ariel from the receivers at a bargain price. In 1959, Ariel discontinued its four-stroke machines and produced the Leader, a fully enclosed 250cc two-stroke twin with a shapely body reaching from the headlamp back, with the new model aiming to combine the benefits of the motorcycle with the advantages of a scooter. They also made the Arrow, keeping the Leaders enclosed chain case and deep mudguards but in a more sporty style. Both models proved to be the last true Ariel designs until the Japanese invasion led to the closure of the factory in the mid-1960s. This 1965 Arrow is being offered without reserve from a deceased estate. It was restored by the late vendor, a retired mechanical and electrical engineer who had raced Yamahas in the Manx Grand Prix in the early 1970s and who used his engineering skills to carry out an authentic rebuild managing to keep as much originality as possible. The bike has not been run for a while, so it will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a green logbook and a current V5C.

From the outset, Puch enjoyed an excellent reputation for its high standard of design, build and reliability, important features on the roads around Europe at the time. Mainly concentrating on small two-stroke engined scooters and go-to-work vehicles, in the early 1960s they launched the 60cc Cheetah as a De Luxe model featuring a solid heavy-duty pressed steel frame and leg shields. The Cheetah was always a rare model in the UK due to its relatively high purchase price. In 1960, the upmarket 59cc Cheetah ‘Scooterette’ sold for £99 17/- 6d, as much as the bigger capacity and more popular offerings from Vespa and Lambretta.This Cheetah is offered in an original and unrestored condition, displaying a credible 2,745 miles on the speedo. It looks to have been in the UK since its first registration on 19th August 1960, supplied by John Fisher Motorcycles in Portsmouth, according to the dealer transfers still showing on the headlamp casing and rear mudguard. Run and ridden recently by the vendor, it comes supplied with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189
Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: D7 32549 MOT: ExemptAttic find BSA Bantam D7Stored for many yearsLittle known about its historyThe BSA D7 Bantam, introduced in 1959, was a significant evolution of BSA's popular lightweight motorcycle series. It featured a 173cc two-stroke engine, an increase from its predecessors, and boasted improved performance with 7.4hp. The D7 Super sported a new swinging arm frame, upgraded brakes, and hydraulically damped forks, enhancing its ride quality and handling. Its distinctive styling included a nacelle-mounted headlamp and slimmed-down mudguards, giving it a more modern appearance. The D7 was available in eye-catching colours like Sapphire Blue and Fuchsia Red, adding a touch of 1960s flair. With a three-speed gearbox and wet clutch, the D7 Super offered a balance of simplicity and practicality. Its affordability, reliability, and ease of maintenance made it a popular choice for commuters and enthusiasts.This BSA Bantam D7 is from The Fred Evans Collection and has been stored in the attic of a barn for many years 'as is' and has recently been removed for the purposes of the auction. The number plate shown does not apply to this machine and no documentation is offered with the BSA. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

c.1927 Mars 956cc A20Registration no. not registeredFrame no. D.R.P K.1.002. (stamped to headstock)Engine no. 2515 (to engine casing and sump)•Legendary and highly desirable German motorcycle•An older restoration•Requires recommissioning/restorationMars was founded by Paul Reissmann in Nuremberg, Germany in 1873 and commenced production with a range of cast-iron stoves followed by sirens, grinding machines and bicycles. Motorcycle manufacture began in 1903 using proprietary engines supplied by Zedel and Fafnir, and Mars also made cars from 1906 to 1908. Introduced in 1920, the company's most famous model was the legendary 'White Mars' (Weiße Mars), designed by engineer Claus Franzenburg, which was powered by a 956cc horizontally opposed, twin-cylinder, sidevalve engine made exclusively for Mars by Maybach. Unusually, the 'White Mars' featured a box-section frame constructed of welded and riveted steel sheet rather than the almost universal steel tubing. Early examples employed a two-speed, twin-chain transmission, while a conventional three-speed gearbox was standardised later and other colours offered. The Mars' high standard of workmanship and finish encouraged sales initially, only for the economic downturn of the mid-1920s forced production to cease for a few years.Towards the decade's end former employees Johann and Karl Müller restarted production of the Mars motorcycle (initially under the 'MA' brand name). After more than half a century in production, the Mars factory closed finally closed its gates in June 1958. Of all its many models, it is the 'White Mars' that is the most celebrated; there is an example in the Neue Sammlung international design museum in Munich, Germany, and in the 1980s the model even featured on a German stamp. Several copies have been produced in recent years. Believed to be an older restoration (date unknown), this White Mars is accompanied by file of paperwork (in German) to include a note and other correspondence dated 2000 suggesting the vendor may have purchased the machine from the noted collector Dieter Mutschler. There is also restoration correspondence from Mike Kron together with his starting instructions, riding instructions, technical data, etc. There are no other documents with the machine, therefore it is not known whether it is registered or has run since restoration. Notable features include an internal copper fuel tank; a Robert Bosch BA2 magneto; a Scharlach headlamp; a Luxor rear lamp; and a spare identity plaque. Clearly unused for a considerable period, the machine will require careful recommissioning, or possibly more extensive restoration, before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed.

The David Collier Collectionc.1972-1974 Laverda 744cc 750 SFC Replica Registration no. unregistered (see text)Frame no. LAV.750SF2*16253*Engine no. 750*11901*•Fabulous performance•Superb and uncompromising build quality•For race, trackday, and/or road•One owner for the last 33 yearsDavid Collier built this stunning Laverda 750 SFC Replica as a fast road/racebike in 1991. He tells us that he bought the 'bare bones' of the bike, then fitted with engine no. 4403, from Phil Todd of Motodd Laverda. He bought a second, completely unmolested engine (no. 11901) from SFC guru David Isles. A Grimeca 4 leading shoe front brake was purchased and expertly set up, rear suspension is Koni Dial-a-Rides with adjustable damping and rising rate springs. David's extensive notes (supplied) indicate that the engine has been built to a very high specification. The bike is fitted with a (new) lightweight battery which will start it when warm, but a boost pack will be required for cold starts. Please note that for road use a larger battery should be fitted. It should also be noted that the starter is now activated by the horn button, while the horn is activated by the indicator switch (indicators no longer being fitted).David tells us that in the early 1990s the bike was competitive in CRMC Group 3 production racing against such riders as Alex George (Slippery Sam Rep), Ray Knight (Tallboy Trident), and Mick Hart (Laverda SFC Rep). It has also been used on the road, and for fun in the fast group at a number of Morini Club track days, most recently in 2019. A considerable quantity of spares is supplied – close inspection advised. These include: engine no. 4403 (partially dismantled), Bosch headlamp assembly with Tomaselli mounts, fully adjustable Jota handlebars to enable the bike to be returned to unfaired specification, SF roadster petrol tank and caps etc. When purchased in 1991 it came with a V5 for registration no. RNR 25W which showed frame and engine nos. 4403. The engine then fitted was indeed 4403, but the frame was a later one, being stamped LAV.750SF2*16253*. Because neither the frame, nor the engine currently fitted, match those listed on the V5C for RNR 25W, the bike is now offered for sale as unregistered. It is accompanied by David's extensive and comprehensive build, preparation, and technical notes relating to all aspects of the bike (close scrutiny advised) as well as full race logs, expired MOT, trackday photo etc.We urge interested bidders to view the running video on our website. Such is his confidence in the machine that, subject to his health allowing it, David is happy to provide technical support and advice over the telephone to the new owner. This is rare opportunity to acquire a stunning Laverda for race, track day, or road use at a fraction of what it must have cost to build.

NCR was founded in 1967 in the small town of Borgo Panigale, a stone's throw from the Ducati factory, and functioned as the semi-official race team from the early 1970s, there being no direct works involvement at that time. Their emblem, a speeding cartoon dog wearing a helmet, is recognised the world over. Imported in 2017 and acquired by our vendor in 2018, this Ducati is recorded in the 'Bevel Heaven' register (no. 328) where it is listed as previously residing in France. BH states: 'Frame stamping does not conform to factory type. Furthermore, the DGM number 'DGM 13715 OM' identifies the frame as a 1974 Ducati 900 Sport.' The HPI report records the machine as a 'Category N Insurance Loss. No Structural Damage and Repairable – Insurer Decided Not to Repair' (dated 12th July 2021). It should be noted that the machine was damaged in a flood while in storage, and that the engine is seized.

The 1936 Olympia Motor Cycle Show Model1936 Brough Superior 982cc SS80Registration no. DJO 575Frame no. M81701Engine no. BS/X5 4421•Substantially original (matching frame, engine and petrol tank)•Present family ownership since 1969•Kept on static display•Requires sympathetic recommissioning/restorationExtraordinarily, we are able to offer not just one but two machines in the sale that were stars of the 1936 Olympia Motor Cycle Show! This rigid framed model SS80 is recorded as the 'Show Model' in the factory records. Brough had entered the 1930s with an entirely JAP-powered range, and then, after a brief absence, the SS80 re-appeared in 1935 as the SS80 Special, this time with an engine built by Associated Motor Cycles. Similar to that of the Matchless Model X, the 982cc sidevalve v-twin incorporated Brough's preferred 'knife-and-fork' big-end bearing arrangement instead of the side-by-side connecting rods of the Matchless. The SS80 continued to use the AMC engine until production ceased in 1939. This example is one of 460 Matchless-engined SS80s built, of which some 300-or-so survive.First registered on 24th December 1936, 'DJO 575' was supplied to Laytons having been dispatched on 19th November 1936 (presumably after the Olympia Show). The tank is, correctly, unnumbered, while the original gearbox ('IN 9862') still exists but is currently in an 11-50. 'DJO 575' is still fitted with a Smiths 120mph speedometer and Miller DU142 headlamp, while other notable items still present are the aluminium front chain case; non-valanced split rear mudguard; pannier bags; and foot gear controls. A pillion seat has been fitted at some stage (the machine was supplied with pillion footrests). The Brough was purchased in 1969 (together with an MG TF) for £560 (for both) from a John Holme of Gotham, Nottinghamshire, who had acquired it in 1966. The tax disc expiring in September 1969 is still on the machine. The two previous recorded keepers in the continuation logbook are a Mr Ivan Wakley of Kibworth, Leicestershire (1955) and a Don Glover of Leicester (1958). We are advised by the Brough Superior Club that a Mr Mottley of Leicester was another previous keeper. The continuation logbook also shows the bike was regularly taxed from 1956 until 1967 and that it was once attached to a sidecar. The change in colour occurred in the 1960s, but remnants of the chrome show finish are still visible on the cylinder barrels. The BSC notes that the SS80 still had its chrome finish in 1955, and that in 1966 it was seen at the Banbury Run painted maroon. Additional paperwork on file includes old MoTs from 1966, 1969 and 1971; an old-style V5 document; and a copy of the Works Record Card. Since purchase the Brough has been kept on static as part of an important private collection. Recommissioning and/or sympathetic restoration will be required before further use.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 13 October starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1956 Triumph 650cc ThunderbirdRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 08810 Engine no. 6T 08810Always a step ahead of their rivals, Triumph followed up the trend-setting Speed Twin 500 of pre-war days by being first in the field with a 650cc parallel twin. Announced in September 1949, the 650 Thunderbird was Triumph's response to demands for more power emanating from American racers and British sidecarists alike. A spectacular launch stunt saw three Thunderbirds lap the Montlhery circuit at over 90mph for 500 miles, after which they each achieved a flying lap of 100mph-plus and were ridden back to the Meriden factory. When displayed at the Earls Court Show in October, the new twin featured the headlamp nacelle and fuel tank with luggage grid first seen the previous year. An interesting change to the Thunderbird for 1952 was the adoption of an SU carburettor in place of the original Amal, a specially prepared machine managing a staggering 155mpg at a steady 30mph on a factory organised economy run. The Trophy remained in production in fundamentally its original form, though with progressively updated cycle parts, until the arrival of the unitary construction 650 range in 1962. This Thunderbird has been imported from the USA and is offered for recommissioning (the engine turns over). The machine displays light corrosion in places and currently displays a total of 1,136 miles on the odometer. Offered with a State of Colorado Certificate of Title. This machine is offered with a NOVA declaration. Key present.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 12 October starting at 2pm GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
From the collection of noted collector, the late Ken Senior1965 Velocette 192cc LE MkIIIRegistration no. DUU 37CFrame no. 7234/34Engine no. 7722/3 (see text)Launched in 1948, as the 'motorcycle for everyman', the Velocette LE addressed the criticisms most often levelled at motorcycles - that they were noisy, dirty and needed special clothing to ride - achieving impressive levels of silence, comfort and practicality. Sadly for the LE, its arrival coincided with the start of the scooter boom; asked to compete against Italian style, Velo's ugly duckling never stood a chance, even after the sidevalve flat twin's performance had been boosted by a capacity increase from 149 to 192cc in 1950 with the introduction of the MkII. 'DUU 37C' is an example of the MkIII which was introduced for 1959, its principal improvement being a four-speed, foot-change gearbox with kick-starter. In addition, the speedometer, ammeter and light switch were moved from the leg shield to the headlamp shell. The original green logbook shows that the LE was supplied new to the Metropolitan Police, passing into civilian ownership in 1970. A change of engine to '7722/3' is recorded in 1968. Our vendor acquired the LE in 1995. Additional documentation consists of a photocopy old V5, an old-style V5C and an information sheet. Careful recommissioning is advised before returning the machine to the road.

1937 New Imperial 148cc Model 23Registration no. DNK 33Frame no. 97/35262/23Engine no. 107/43266/23•Nicely presented New Imperial lightweight•Benefitting from various works in 2022Builder of the last British-made machine to win the Lightweight 250 TT during the pre-war era, New Imperial was unsurpassed for innovation during the 1930s, offering models featuring pivoted fork rear suspension and unitary construction of the engine and gearbox. Introduced for 1933, the unitary construction Model 23 was based on an unconventional, stillborn prototype, first seen in 1932, which carried its valve gear behind the cylinder. The production Model 23 was more conventional as far as its valve gear was concerned but less so elsewhere, featuring unitary construction of the engine/gearbox, geared primary drive, and coil ignition. Qualifying for a reduced rate of road tax for up-to-150cc machines, the Model 23 was a huge success for New Imperial and continued in production until 1940.This nicely presented New Imperial lightweight has clearly benefited from ongoing maintenance and restoration throughout its life, as detailed by the accompanying history file. Most recently (in 2022), the machine benefited from the following works (receipts on file):•Engine bolt locknuts•Fresh Brooklands Monograde oil•Some electrical repairs•Fitting of flashing indicators, including fabrication of brackets•Adjustment and rebuild of the throttle•Road test and adjustment (by Creed & Shore Motorworks Ltd)While in the previous Hull-based ownership, the machine benefited from the works listed below circa 2014-2015. Receipts on file and accompanying restoration images suggest this is when the machine was last restored, including:•New batteries and a new Lucas battery case•Vapour cleaning of engine castings•Replacement tool box, number plate, stand, mudguard, wheel•Brake hubs•Brake arms•Brackets•Mudguard brackets•Handlebars•Fork links•Headlamp stays•Some re-chroming•Paint•Various new bolts throughoutThe 2015 New Imperial Owners' Association inspection report (on file) suggests that the vehicle registration had lapsed (hence the inspection), indicating the machine had been off the road for some time. The accompanying 1945 continuation logbook lists Bryan Carter of Bedford as owner in 1945, with no further entries. It is not known when the current owner purchased the machine, but certainly some time between 2015 and when the last V5C was issued in 2022. The machine is also offered with a maintenance manual, owner's guide and spare parts manual (all copies) and the aforementioned extensive history file of assorted paperwork (inspection recommended).Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Purchased in 2022, it has been used sparingly on warm summer days and dry stored throughout the winter but will need a light recommissioning before returning to the road.

1960 BSA 650cc A10 'ISDT Replica'Registration no. XOR 893Frame no. GA7.4803Engine no. DA10 10116 (see text)Although far too heavy to be of any use in either one-day trials or scrambles races, the BSA A10 twin was an altogether different proposition when it came to long-distance endurance events such as the International Six Days Trial (ISDT), where top speed was of greater importance. BSA first entered its new twin-cylinder models in the ISDT in 1951, with Trophy team captain Fred Rist on a 650cc A10 and Vase team members Basil hall and Tom Ellis on Star Twins. The 1951 ISDT was held in Varese, Italy where the British Trophy team secured victory for the fourth year on the trot, vindicating the decision to use the new BSA twins. This BSA A10 ISDT replica has been used in New Zealand, as evidenced by various rally and event tags. The frame is of 1960 type, as is the engine. The engine number relates to a 650cc Golden Flash that has been uprated with an alloy cylinder head. Both the frame and engine number are believed to be correct factory stampings. Notable features include a Mikuni carburettor, Lyta alloy fuel tank, and a small competition headlamp. DVLA records show that the last MoT expired in July 2016 and the machine appears untaxed since October 2020. Recommissioning will be required before further use. Offered with sundry bills and an HPI check sheet.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 12 October starting at 2pm GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
2005 BMW K1200R Power Cup Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. WB105840X6Engine no. 075052091•Factory-built limited edition model•Ridden by Jeremy McWilliams at the Goodwood Festival of Speed•Retained by BMW until 2017•Present ownership since 2019•2,394 kilometres from newThe BMW K1200R Power Cup was a factory-built racer intended for a one-make championship which ran in parallel with the European MotoGP races, the purpose being to promote the recently introduced K1200R roadster. The Power Cup bikes were based on the stock K1200R but boasted numerous factory modifications to the bodywork, including a carbon-fibre under-tray, headlamp shroud, intake panels, single seat cover, hand guards, and engine protection. A titanium Laser exhaust and ECU remap boosted power to 175bhp and the package was finished off with a quick-shifter, 2D race dashboard with lap timer, Gilles adjustable rear-sets, WP suspension, fuel tank baffling, Brembo brakes, and Metzler Racetec tyres. Never raced, this particular bike was used by BMW UK to promote the road bike around the dealer network, and in 2006 was ridden by Jeremy McWilliams at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Jeremy did a number of rolling burnouts which resulted in the rear tyre coming apart; the marks made in the underside of the seat are still visible. The machine was also displayed at the Brands Hatch round of the World Superbike Championship. It was kept as part of BMW's historic fleet until 2017 and then sold via a closed auction to a BMW dealer, who sold it on to a BMW regional manager the same day. Our vendor purchased the Power Cup from a BMW dealer in 2019, since when he has done the occasional track day with the bike, reporting it to be really stable and very fast. A letter on file dated 11th March 2019 from the previous owner states that at that time the bike had covered approximately 600 miles from new and had never been raced or dropped (the current odometer reading is 2,394 kilometres). At that time an instructor at Cadwell Park and Snetterton, the previous owner stated: 'it handles beautifully and the brakes are powerful and progressive. In short, it is a lovey, comfortable, powerful and easy bike to ride with gear shift assist on the up-change.' The machine last ran in August 2024 and the vendor reports that oil and filter changes have been carried out annually. Documentation consists of the aforementioned letter, a build sheet, an information display board, and instructions for the 2D dash. There is no registration document with this Lot.

Property of a deceased's estate1913 Precision 500cc 4hpRegistration no. L 2070Frame no. 36 (in logbook)Engine no. 9230 and 9230BAt one time Frank E Baker's Birmingham-based Precision company rivalled JAP as a supplier of engines to Britain's motorcycle manufacturers. The first Precision engine went on sale in 1910 and the first complete motorcycle in 1912, though in deference to Baker's engine customers these were for export only at first. It was not until after WWI that the firm got around to building a complete motorcycle for sale on the home market. That first machine was a 350cc two-stroke featuring leaf-sprung suspension front and rear; from 1920 onwards marketed as the 'Beardmore Precision', the Scottish Beardmore engineering group having gained control of Baker's company. The range expanded to include sidevalve models of various capacities; a Barr & Stroud sleeve valve-engined 350; and overhead-valve and overhead-cam works racers. Although production models gained an enviable reputation in the trials events of their day, the racers faired disastrously at the 1924 TT, the debacle prompting Beardmore to close the ailing firm.First registered in Surrey on 18th March 1913, this Veteran-era 4hp Precision was acquired by the late owner from an Anthony Cook of New Milton in 1976; last taxed until February 1976, it appears to be an older restoration. Notable features include a P&H headlamp and acetylene generator; Lucas rear light; Philips Saxon front fork; Bosch magneto; and a Lycett saddle. Accompanying documentation includes Surrey County Council licensing correspondence; two old-style continuation logbooks (1952 and 1975); two Pioneer Certificates (the oldest dating from 1952 and recording a D Kemp as the owner – presumably George D Kemp of Canton, Cardiff, recorded in the 1952 logbook); and an old V5 registration document.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 13 October starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1974 Ducati 750SSRegistration no. VWT 91NFrame no. DM750SS*075286Engine no. 075011 DM750.1•One of only 24 delivered new in the UK•Known ownership history•Restored condition•Present ownership since 2011•Offered from an important private collectionOnly 401 round-case Ducati 750SS production models were manufactured by the Ducati factory between January and March 1974. Only three 1973 prototype models are believed to have survived, all of which went to the USA. The production machines are understood to have been built in two batches of 200, the first tranche assembled between 2nd and 10th January 1974, and the second between late January and March. Only 24 are known to have been brought into the UK in 1974 by the importers, Coburn & Hughes. This is one of the original 24 UK bikes imported during 1974, although it is not possible to determine from which of the two production runs it originates. Its numbers are '075286' (frame) and '075011' (engine) (listed (in error) with the numbers transposed in Ian Falloon's The Book on the Ducati 750SS Round Case 1974). 'VWT 91N' was first registered on 6th September 1974 to Allan Jefferies Motorcycles of Shipley, West Yorkshire, who had acquired it (and possibly at least one other) from the importers. Unfortunately, the paper records of Allan Jefferies Motorcycles (relating to that year) have been lost or destroyed so there is no corroborative record of the Ducati's delivery and subsequent sale apart from entries on copy registration documents from the DVLA in the UK. In February 1975, the Ducati was acquired by the London Motorcycle Centre and, it is believed, was raced during that season (it is not known by whom) before being sold to Rodney Gordon in January 1976. In all probability the London Motorcycle Centre replaced it with the newer 1975 900SS which had just been released. Rodney Gordon and family members used it for the next 10 years as a road bike before it fell into disrepair. It was sold on in 1986 to a Simon Cauty. Nothing is known about its time in his ownership but it is reported by its subsequent owner, John Fallon (later of Made in Italy Motorcycles), that it was incomplete and a non-runner. The Ducati was effectively in storage at this time. In February 1991 John sold it to the previous owner as a rolling chassis (frame, engine and cycle parts - see images in history file). In October/November 1995 an engine rebuild was carried out by Steve Wynne of Sports Motorcycles Racing Limited. Works undertaken comprised the following:•Rebuilt cylinder heads, including new valves, valve guides/seals, valve seats, repairs to exhaust threads, modified rockers for extended guide seals•New (believed to be Staschl) racing con-rods and big-end assembly•New V2 pistons, rebore and hone•New main bearings•Imola cams•New first gear and slider, and layshaft•Renewal of all ancillary consumablesThe worn primary drive gears noted by Wynn were replaced by the then owner, who estimates the total cost of the restoration to have been in excess of £30,000.Between March 2010 and May 2011 (and in consultation with the Ducati authority Ian Falloon) a chassis rebuild, refinishing of bodywork and frame, and all non-engine work had been carried out to return the Ducati to original specification. The engine was set up and first run on 23rd May 2011 (it started first kick). Non-original cycle parts include the following:•1973 750SS fork sliders (which had callipers sited behind the fork legs when axle inserted from the correct r/h side (otherwise identical to 1974 sliders)•All glassfibre is replacement (and better than original)Seat foam and covering is replacement (and better than original)Rubber breather bellows to flapper valve•Fuel pipe: new Cavis Benz (13x7mm)•Tyres: new Japanese Dunlop TT100s•Hydraulic hoses and fittings are new modern stainless steel•Lucas RITA ignition kit dating from 1976 (original contemporaneous replacement for OE points, etc)As presented here the Ducati displays the following notable features: Borrani wheel rims stamped '4777' (front and rear); JOD headlamp glass; Marzocchi front forks; Scarab front brake callipers; Lockheed rear calliper; and Dell'Orto PHM 40A carburettors. Accompanying documentation includes the following:•Sports Motorcycles engine rebuild invoice of November 1995 (£2,943)•Images 'as found' and post restoration•Well used Ducati technical sheet with some handwritten annotation for racing•Letter from Nick Jefferies of Allan Jefferies Motorcycles dated October 1993•Email (copy) to Ian Falloon regarding the availability (or non-availability) of original componentsThe machine also comes with an old style V5 document (all other V5s and old logbooks on file are photocopies). Our vendor, its next owner, acquired the 750SS in July 2011, since when it has been kept as part of his important private collection of motorcycles. Unused since purchase, it is offered for recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent and is sold strictly as viewed.According to renowned Ducati authority Ian Falloon: 'I know the bike well as (the vendor) consulted me regarding its restoration after he bought it... It's not a preproduction model, just a very early engine number. I would just like to add that the restoration is very accurate, with excellent attention to detail.' Very high praise indeed.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 13 October starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

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
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.
