Registration No: 168 DFJ Chassis No: 155656DN MOT: ExemptIn current ownership for the past 7 yearsBoasting a large history file with a comprehensive number of invoicesSubject to an extensive restoration carried out between 2001 and 2005Desirable home market 3.4 manual overdrive example displaying a credible c.45,000 milesPLEASE NOTE: This lot does not come with the electric power steering unit mentioned in the printed catalogue.For many the definitive Jaguar sports Saloon, the MkII was introduced in October 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek lines clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque's first monocoque. Powered by derivatives of the same XK DOHC straight-six engine that had swept Jaguar to five Le Mans victories, the MkII was quick to dominate contemporary Saloon car racing. Equipped with coil-and-wishbone independent front suspension, a leaf-sprung Salisbury rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes. Available with 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 Litre engines and with either automatic or manual transmissions, the MkII is still a desirable and usable classic in modern times.The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record states this desirable MkII 3.4 manual with overdrive was manufactured in May 1961 and has been in current ownership for the past 7 years. In 2017 the son of the original owner bought the car from an H&H auction, the odometer displays just some 45,000 miles today. The MkII was stored at a farm until 2001, at this point a restoration began which did not complete until 2005. This was evidently done to a very high standard. New door skins and bottoms, inner and outer sills and several new repair panels were fitted, plus new seat cushions were fitted below the preserved original leather on the reclining front seats, along with new carpets and a headlining. The interior woodwork was restored and a new wiring loom fitted, along with a conversion to alternator charging. The paint was applied by Jaguar restoration specialist Alan Proctor of Worksop.By September 2012 it had been acquired by a lady of Wotton-Under-Edge. Some £27,000 was spent in ownership, over the course of 2 years between 2012 and 2014 with Peter Chambers Automotive, with attention paid to front and rear shocks, a gearbox rebuild, an engine overhaul and removal of the power steering system (to increase the steering feel) with new non-assisted parts fitted. Back in the ownership of the family that originally owned '168 DFJ', the car has been dry stored and used sparingly on only the best of days covering just over 1,000 miles in these 7 years. The vendor has informed us that aluminium radiator coils were fitted last year to the benefit of the cooling system. This MkII is offered with a pair of Coombs-style rear wheel spats and the power steering components that were removed. It also boasts a large history file with a comprehensive number of invoices, a Production Record Certificate, detailed restoration notes and photographs and an original handbook.*Photos 112-198 document the extensive restoration of 168DFJ between 2001 and 2005PLEASE NOTE: This lot does not come with the electric power steering unit mentioned in the printed catalogue.

Registration No: WC 1431 Chassis No: GS 138 MOT: ExemptRare Vintage-era French cycle carSubject to an extensive restoration during the 1980sFitted with an upgraded 1,098cc OHV Chapuis-Dornier engine and four-speed gearboxEligible for events such as Vintage Montlhery and VSCC hillclimbsFounded in 1912 by Bertrand Montet, Derby was initially engaged in general engineering and after the Great War dealt in War-surplus Harley-Davidson motorcycles. From 1921, the firm began producing lightweight Voiturettes (Cyclecars) that were fitted with the Harley Davidson V-Twin motorcycle engines with which they had become so familiar. Very quickly the marque started to produce larger models and would fit these chassis with four-cylinder, overhead valve 1,098cc engines sourced from Chapuis-Dornier. Competing with the likes of Amilcar and Salmson, Automobiles Derby exhibited a British bodied 9hp 'Sports' model at the 1923 Olympia Motor Show which was a direct descendant of their 9hp Racer that had competed in the Brooklands 200 mile race. Unfortunately, Derby failed to attract much interest at the show, but it would inspire the imagination of one Vernon Balls. Balls was a Gentleman motor racer who had trained as a motor engineer and made a name for himself by purchasing the remaining stock of Mors spares, and his business would handle all repairs and servicing for the firm right up until 1923. Later in that year, on a business trip to Paris, Balls purchased an Amilcar for sporting use and saw great potential in French cyclecars in British sporting events, and merely a few years later, his firm would become the main sales agent for Derby and market them under the name 'Vernon-Derby' from 1927. The 9hp Grand Sports Special was a slightly more updated version of the 9hp Sports Model, and featured more elegant bodystyling with louvred side-panels upon the chassis, wrap-around cycle wings and a four-speed gearbox in place of the earlier three-speed unit.Dated to 1926, little is known about the early life of chassis ‘GS 138’, but it managed to survive some fifty years before its discovery by the previous owner in France in a dilapidated state during the late 1970s. According to the vendor, the previous owner was a very good friend of his who was responsible for the restoration of several interesting pre-war sports cars; but was particularly fanatical about the Derby marque. The rare sports car is said to have been found to be remarkably complete despite having been disassembled, so the decision was made to perform a full restoration which would continue throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s. A chemical engineer by trade, the previous owner had nearly every steel part treated by dipping them in vats of Jenolite Rust Converter, a process that he had sworn by on previous restorations. After treatment, the chassis and body were prepared in Red Oxide and painted in its resplendent red by a professional coach working firm, which has survived in very fine form to this day, testament to the rust treating process that the restorer swore by.Mechanically, the Derby was treated to the same level of attention and a full overhaul was performed on the four-cylinder Chapuis Dornier engine, which was re-bored and fitted with new pistons whilst the crankshaft was re-ground and mounted within freshly white-metalled bearing shells. The cooling system was uprated with the addition of a water pump instead of the original thermo-syphon arrangement, which fed a freshly re-cored radiator. The gearbox, front axle and back axle were completely overhauled with new components made up where necessary and the electrics were also subject to attention, with a new wiring loom fitted to power the reconditioned lighting system and period gauges set into the dashboard. Finally, a complete replacement interior was constructed with a high-quality black leather used to trim the off-set seats which is pleasingly complimentary to the red panel work.Having completed the restoration, the Derby would remain in the previous owner’s possession up until 2019 as part of his private collection and was used sparingly whilst being maintained to a very high standard. The vendor, a long-term fan of pre-war cars and motorcycles himself would acquire it directly from the previous owner to join several interesting stablemates (including another Derby). Described by the present owner as having survived in ‘very good to excellent’ condition all round, old age has unfortunately now forced his hand with his decision to sell.A rarity on the open market, this Derby 9hp Gran Sport is fully registered for use in the UK and presents as an interesting alternative to better known French cyclecar brands for either competition use in the many events that it is eligible for, or perhaps it would make a very eye-catching talking point as part of a private collection.

Registration No: A226 SYX Chassis No: 1070462A001964 MOT: ExemptWarranted under 20,000 miles from newCurrent ownership since 2007 with one previous ownerHighly original including having the tool kit, jack, and first aidOffered with a history file including the original sales invoice and a full Mercedes bookpack.The Mercedes R107-series SL was launched in 1971 to replace the long-lived W113 'Pagoda' SL that first appeared in 1963. Though dispensing with Mercedes' usual model identification, it was based on the suspension of the W114 Saloon and ran until 1989 with more than 237,000 examples built, being the longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz except for the G-Wagen. The Bruno Sacco-designed car was bigger, heavier and softer-riding than its predecessor, but can still handle and won the plaudits from distinguished motoring writers including LJK Setright. The 245bhp 500 SL made from 1980 had an all-alloy fuel-injected V8 and was made for Europe only and with 60mph available in 7.4 secs the top speed was 140mph, faster even than the US, Japan and Australian 560 SL. Plenty of R107s (and SLCs) come to market, but 500SLs are still a rarity, with only 11,812 built.Purchased new from Normand (Mayfair) Ltd Mercedes-Benz agents by the first lady owner (albeit registered to her husband) on the 2nd November 1983, the 500 SL was finished from the factory in Astral Silver paintwork and was specified with the optional extras of (Grey) leather interior upholstery, anti-lock braking system and air-conditioning. Retained by the first lady owner until 2007 (albeit accounting for two registered owners due to a divorce requiring the change of owners on the logbook), when purchased by the vendor it was as a gift for his wife in 2007. Covering minimal mileage in either ownership, the 500 SL is now offered with a warranted under 20,000 miles from new. Highly original, the Mercedes boasts its original tool kit, jack, spare wheel, first aid kit, Mercedes cushion and the body-coloured hardtop with stand.Well maintained throughout the current ownership, the SL has benefitted from an air-conditioning re-gas in 2016 by Mercedes-Benz specialist Nick Webster; a new wiring loom by Mercedes-Benz Macclesfield in 2018 costing £2,650; some £4,250 expense at Trevor Farrington, with cosmetic improvement and new exhaust back box; and rear brake calipers, pads and brake hoses costing c.£1,000 with Nick Webster last year. Last serviced at 16,593 miles, the SL is accompanied by a history file that contains the original Mercedes wallet, including the stamped service book and owner’s handbook. Also included in the documentation is the original sales invoice, extensive MOTs back to its first in 1987, a collection of invoices and the V5C Registration Document. With such low mileage and ownership, this highly collectable example boasting a good history file, is surely one to consider!

Registration No: RO08 RYO Chassis No: 20703120768 MOT: May 2025Just 5,100 miles from newPowered by a 1800cc 16-valve Zetec engine with five-speed gearbox and Sierra differentialBuilt completed and road registered in 2009A kit car inspired by the classic Lotus Seven, the Locost 7 concept was developed in the mid-1980s as a budget-friendly alternative to similar kit cars. It initially used the chassis of a Triumph Spitfire but later evolved to have its own ladder chassis design.Declared manufactured in 2009, the Locost offered was road registered on the 2nd June that year, although it is believed that it only properly took to the road in 2013. ‘RO08 RYO’ utilises a 1800cc 16-valve Zetec engine which benefitted from a full overhaul in 2010 at the cost of over £1,100 including re-boring the block, new big end and main bearings, ground crank, head work and a Kent cam kit. The Zetec engine uses Honda Hurricane carburettors and an Odyssey wiring loom and is allied to a five-speed gearbox and Sierra differential, with the GTS specification also including aeroscreen, harnesses and bucket seats. Covering some 5,100 miles since the completion of the build, the GTS has benefitted from full front suspension renewal and new front wings in 2022 with MAC Motorsport (costing c.£3,700), as well as re-wiring work in 2023. Immense fun for relatively low outlay, this Locost is a great candidate for anyone looking for a kit car for next spring/summer with minimal mileage since completion!

The Chevrolet AK Series pick-up, produced between 1941 and 1947, represents a significant chapter in the history of American trucks. Introduced during a transformative period in automotive design and functionality, the AK Series was built to meet the demands of both commercial and personal use. The AK Series was Chevrolet's response to the need for more robust and versatile vehicles, particularly during World War II. These trucks featured a rugged construction, which made them ideal for both military and civilian applications. The design emphasized utility, with a straightforward, no-frills aesthetic that appealed to a wide range of buyers. The truck's payload capacity was impressive for its time, often exceeding 1,500 pounds, which contributed to its reputation as a workhorse. Styling of the AK Series was characteristic of the era, with a flat front grille and a minimalist cab design. The interior was basic but functional, focusing on durability rather than luxury. This utilitarian approach was well-suited to the needs of those who relied on these trucks for everyday work. In terms of versatility, the AK Series offered a variety of configurations, including standard cab, extended cab, and different bed lengths. This adaptability made it appealing for a range of uses, from farming and construction to family transport. Additionally, the availability of accessories and modifications allowed owners to tailor their trucks to specific needs, enhancing the vehicle's practicality. Post-war, the AK Series played a pivotal role in the economic recovery of the United States. As industries expanded and the demand for goods increased, these trucks became vital for transporting products across the nation. Their durability and reliability helped cement Chevrolet’s reputation as a leader in the pick-up market. Today, the Chevrolet AK Series is celebrated among collectors and vintage vehicle enthusiasts. Its classic design and historical significance make it a desirable choice for restoration projects.This handsome truck is of the ‘cab over engine’ derivative and has been restored over a three-year period. Fitted with a Chevrolet LS6 5.7 litre V8 engine that was custom built by Tim Adams Racing and has covered only 660 miles, it is fair to say this engine sounds superb. The grey bodywork is in great order, having been stripped and sandblasted. The interior is handstitched red leather, with fully electric and heated seats, matching door cards with custom speaker pods and billet aluminium furniture. The wiring is based around a custom-made loom, however everything has been fused and labelled correctly. The suspension is air all-round and is controlled digitally. Custom made electric windows have been fitted along with electronic door openers. The rear load space was built by R Concepts and is largely aluminium. This is a Chevrolet AK pick-up that has had significant sums spent on it in recent times and presents in great order. Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, whether for nostalgic value or practical use, the AK Series remains a testament to Chevrolet’s enduring legacy in the automotive world, blending functionality with a unique charm that continues to capture the hearts of truck lovers. The quality of this Chevrolet AK has to be seen to be appreciated. Consigned by Stewart Banks. THIS C.O.E. (CAB OVER ENGINE) CHEVROLET PRESENTS IN FABULOUS CONDITIONRESTORED BY THE VENDOR OVER A THREE YEAR PERIODTHE 5.8 LITRE V8 ENGINE WAS BUILT BY TIM ADAMS RACING
The Land Rover Series I is an iconic off-road vehicle that was first introduced in 1948. It was designed by Maurice Wilks, the chief designer of the Rover car company, who was inspired by the World War II Willys Jeep. The Series I was built with simplicity and functionality in mind, which made it a reliable and versatile workhorse in rural areas and on rough terrain. The Land Rover Series I was available in three body styles: a soft top, a hardtop, and a pick-up truck. It was powered initially by a 1.6 litre petrol engine which produced 50 horsepower, which may not sound like much by today's standards, but it was more than enough to get the Series I through tough terrain. The Series I was not only popular in rural areas but also gained popularity in the military and among explorers. Its ruggedness, durability, and off-road capabilities made it the perfect vehicle for expeditions to remote areas. Today, the Land Rover Series I is a collector's item, and enthusiasts continue to appreciate its unique design and impressive capabilitiesManufactured on 9th February 1956 and despatched to Caffyns Ltd, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent on 29th March, this Land Rover presents in delightful condition. Having been in a private collection for a number of years, the car has recently been the subject of a ‘body off’ restoration. The comprehensive list of work carried out includes refabrication of the chassis where required, a galvanised bulkhead was fitted at the same time. The body tub, doors, wings and bonnet were refurbished, ensuring there are no dents and the car was repainted in the traditional colour of Bronze Green. The seats were replaced as was the canvas top during the restoration. A new wiring loom was fitted together with halogen headlamps, so much better than the original sealed beam units. The brakes have been overhauled, with new brake shoes, hoses, lines and wheel cylinders. The shock absorbers front and rear have been replaced as have the steering arm ball joints and a new water pump was fitted. We are advised the 1997cc engine runs well and the gearbox operates as it should, a Fairey overdrive unit has also been fitted. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a detailed history folder, together with photographic evidence of the work carried out confirming the extent of the restoration, it is fair to say this is a Series I that is in great order throughout. Consigned by Stewart Banks. HAS AN OVERDRIVE UNIT FITTED TO THE GEARBOXRESTORED TO A VERY GOOD STANDARDCOMES WITH A HERITAGE CERTIFICATE
