Registration No: YSU 288 Chassis No: T838180DN MOT: Exempt1 of just 104 XK150 S 3.4 litre Drophead Coupes made (in both LHD and RHD)Supplied new to E. Schiller Esq of Illinois and later resident in Germany for many years before being repatriated in 1988Treated to a bare metal renovation and conversion to RHD by The Vehicle Restoration Co and subsequently improved by renowned XK specialist, Twyford Moors (engine overhaul / conversion to unleaded, interior re-trimmed etc)Purchased by the vendor from JD Classics in 2011 for £99,000 and subject to some £27,000 worth of fettling / maintenance sinceThe final iteration of the XK sportscar line, the XK150 was introduced in May 1957. While its use of independent torsion-bar front suspension, a 'live' leaf-sprung rear axle and rack-and-pinion steering mirrored the practice of its XK140 predecessor, the new model benefited from the option of all-round Dunlop disc brakes (though, in practice very few – if any - cars were delivered with drum brakes). Stylistically, the newcomer was brought up-to-date with less ostentatious curves and a larger, wrap-around single piece windscreen. With the E-type still very much under development, Jaguar was keen to sustain the sporting reputation that a remarkable five Le Mans victories (1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957) had earned it. Initially powered by a 3442cc derivative of the marque's race-proven DOHC straight-six engine, the XK150 could be specified with an enlarged 3781cc unit from late 1959 onwards. Available in Standard, Special Equipment or 'S' tune, the latter high-performance package comprised a Harry Weslake-modified cylinder head, more aggressive camshaft profiling, high compression pistons and triple SU carburettors. Like its lesser siblings, the XK150 ‘S’ could be had in Fixed-Head Coupe, Open Two-Seater (Roadster) or Drophead Coupe guises. With a claimed 250hp on tap, the 'S' 3.4 Litre cars were reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds and 132mph. Among the rarest of all XK variants, total (LHD and RHD) XK150 ‘S’ 3.4 Drophead Coupe production is thought to have amounted to just 104 cars. Unsurprisingly, survivors are highly prized by collectors. According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis T838180DN was completed on 5th March 1959 and supplied new to E. Schiller of Oak Park, Illinois. Initially finished in Carmen Red, the XK150 S is understood to have migrated to Germany (possibly in the hands of a US serviceman) not long afterwards. Repatriated during 1988 by Peter Cutler, the 2+2-seater was then entrusted to The Vehicle Restoration Co of West Sussex for a bare metal repaint, conversion to right-hand drive and sundry other works. Sold to Shell Oil executive Alan Hunt by Twyford Moors in 1998, he commissioned the renowned XK specialist to retrim the interior, install an alternator, uprate the cooling system (re-cored radiator, Kenlowe fan, alloy expansion tank), plumb-in a facet fuel pump and regulator plus fit new 6 x 15 chrome wire wheels and tyres. Mr Hunt subsequently had them thoroughly overhaul the original engine (including conversion to unleaded) and improve the hood. Humphrey Bunyan of The Classic Car Workshop refurbished the front suspension and further upgraded the Drophead Coupe with a Getrag five-speed manual gearbox, replacement fuel tank and SPAX shock absorbers all round. Registered to Alexander Krahe of Twyford Moors thereafter, ‘YSU 288’ entered the current ownership via JD Classics for £99,140 in December 2011 at which time it was said to have covered just 9,000 post-restoration miles. Enjoyed by the vendor for numerous trips around the UK and into Europe, he has employed the services of Paul Roach Jaguar Ltd to maintain and fettle the XK150 S spending close to £27,000 over the past thirteen years. As well as servicing the 2+2-seater, the Acton, nr Sudbury based firm has rewired it, installed electric power steering, re-bushed the suspension, replaced the rear springs, overhauled the engine’s bottom end and renewed various back axle seals. Old MOT certificates on file suggest that the Drophead Coupe has covered some 22,000 miles since returning to the UK. Starting readily upon inspection and proving a doddle to manoeuvre with its power steering and five-speed gearbox, the Jaguar now presents as an older restoration. The paintwork has aged in places and the brightwork is imperfect. However, the seller admits he bought ‘YSU 288’ to drive rather than polish. Able to boast matching chassis, engine and body numbers, this genuine XK150 S 3.4 litre Drophead Coupe is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file. A tempting proposition indeed. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

Classic Webley Target Launcher by Webley & Scott Ltd, & Old Fired Paper Shotgun Cartridge Cases.An Interesting classic Webley Target Launcher by Webley & Scott Ltd complete and in working order. The launcher is no longer made but was originally designed to fire soft drink cans using a .22 long blank cartridge for target practice without the cost of clay pigeons and leaving fragments on the ground. Modern drink cans no longer fit the launcher socket but baked-bean size cans will substitute. An interesting item for the collector of shooting accessories and/or for practice. Some are now used as dog training dummy launchers. The launcher is not classified as a firearm as it has no barrel and is an item of sporting equipment and no certificate is required to possess it or to buy blank cartridges. However, any buyer of this item must be over 18 and the buyer must collect. Plus, a 12b / 410” shotgun chamber adaptor circa 1940s / 1950s, with no makers or other marks. These chamber adaptors were popular, especially for pest control and dog training at a time when the .410 cartridge was significantly cheaper than larger bore shotgun cartridges. The adapter does not have to be entered separately on a shotgun license as it is not capable in itself of discharging a projectile, but any buyer will be required to produce a current shotgun of RFD license on collection. Box of interesting collectable old fired paper shotgun cartridge cases comprising Eley “Ejector” brass cases, “Gastight” with long brass heads, “Nitrone” and Curtis & Harvey’s “Ruby” Powder and Kynoch “Primax” and “Bonax” and various post-ICI Eley Kynoch. This Lot also includes of historic interest an inert example of a WW2 LDV (Home Guard) issue 12b shotgun cartridge with solid lead ball in buff coloured case with War Dept broad arrow on case and top wad pierced to partially reveal lead ball and a similar LDV issue 12b shotgun cartridge containing “SG” shot in plain red case also printed with broad arrow and with top wad marked “SG” In 1940 the War Dept acquired shotgun cartridges with large sized or ball shot which had been used in peacetime for wildfowl and close range deer control for emergency issue to the Home Guard in face of invasion for use in sporting shotguns. Also included two Eley “Trapshooting” cartridges 12b in buff paper cases also marked with War Dept broad arrow. These are examples of cartridges issued to the RAF for fighter pilots and air gunners to use for clay pigeon shooting to acquire the concept of maintained lead when firing at moving targets. Just prior to WW2 the RAF placed an order with BSA for delivery of shotguns for this purpose. The full order was never delivered as BSA’s shotgun manufacture was destroyed by bombing in 1940 but occasionally BSA shotguns with War Dept broad arrow marks, part of this order, are to be found. LIVE CARTRIDGES ARE INCLUDED AND CURRENT SHOTGUN OR RFD LICENCE MUST BE PRODUCED BY BUYER ON COLLECTION
1924 Paris Olympic games Guy Butler Olympic Games bronze third-place prize medal, designed by Andre Rivaud, circular form, for the 400m, the obverse with a winning athlete coming to the aid of a fallen colleague above the Olympic rings emblem, the reverse with an assortment of sporting equipment around a legend VIII EME OLYMPIADE PARIS 1924, diameter 55mm., 72gr., good, clean condition with little wear The following lot 68 and lots 173 to 189 relate to the career of Guy Butler. The medals and ephemera awarded to Guy Butler, winner of four Olympic medals including a Gold at the 1920 Games, Britain’s most bemedaled Olympic athlete of all time, a distinction shared since 1984 with Sebastian Coe, Christine Ohuruogu and Mo Farah. Guy Montagu Butler was born in Harrow, his father Edward Montagu Butler a former first-class cricketer for Middlesex and housemaster of The Park. Following early education at Heatherdown prep school, near Ascot, Guy Butler entered The Park in 1913 and captained the cricket and football sides. He first made his mark on the national scene in the 1917 Public Schools Championships when he won the 100 yards (with Harold Abrahams unplaced six yards behind), 440 yards and long jump, defeating Abrahams by half an inch with his final leap. A year after joining the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, he entered Trinity College, Cambridge in 1919, by which time he was the AAA 440 yards champion. In addition to his 4 x 400 metre relay gold medal at the 1920 Olympic Games, achieved with team-mates Cecil Griffiths, Robert Lindsay and John Ainsworth-Davis in 3m 22.2s on 23 August, he finished second in the 1920 Olympic 400 metres, won by his great rival, the South African Bevil Rudd, on a rain-sodden track against the cream of the world’s quarter-milling talent on 20 August. Despite competing with a strained thigh muscle, forcing him to employ standing starts, Butler reached new heights at the Paris Olympics of 1924. Setting an unofficial European record of 48.0 in his semi-final, he gave it everything in the final, staged in the evening of the same day. Second to his inspired team-mate Eric Liddell for much of the race, he eventually placed third in 48.6. such a magnificent achievement however, it did not get the acclaim and merit it deserved. It was overlooked in the excitement surrounding Liddell’s victory. Butler claimed another medal in the 4 x 400 metre relay, his team recording 3m 17.4s and claiming a bronze. An athlete who never quite fulfilled his potential due to various injuries and nerves. Harold Abrahams once wrote, “Ill-luck and a rather wayward temperament played their part in robbing him of distinctions which were well within his capabilities, and had he not been so successful when he was so young he might have been very much more so later on.” One of Butler’s best performances came in 1926 when, a week after winning the Amateur Athletic Association 220 yards in a personal best of 21.9, he equalled the world record of 30.6 for 300 yards. He ended his active career at the 1928 Olympic Games, when he became the first British track and field athlete to compete in three Olympics, but where he was eliminated in the second round of the 200 metres. He went on to make valuable contributions to British athletics in many ways. He advised on the design of the White City stadium, where he was athletics manager. He became a successful coach (guiding Alistair McCorquodale to fourth place in the 1948 Olympic Games 100 metres), lectured and wrote widely on the sport, serving as the athletics correspondent of the Morning Post until its merger with the Daily Telegraph in 1937, and became Britain’s foremost producer of coaching films and loops. In World War II he worked at the Foreign Office and was a Lieutenant in the Bedfordshire Regiment. He was inducted into the England Athletics Hall of Fame in 2014.
A simply incredible example with just 1,179 miles from new, family ownership and in truly amazing condition that needs to be seen to be appreciated. Back in 1999, if you wanted a back-to-basics roadster that was quick, handsome and had a stiff chassis with 50/50 weight distribution, you didn’t have too many options. The MX-5 wasn’t far off, but you could hardly call that quick – and the MG F was little-better.Before the S2000, roadsters generally came with scuttle shake – that awful vibration of the windscreen and dash when you hit a bump – and Honda’s motorsport engineers, who were tasked with building the S2000, were determined to eliminate this. The solution was the high 'X-bone' frame which, in conjunction with the steel monocoque chassis and body structure gave the S2000 levels of rigidity previously unheard of in open-top cars. There hadn't been a roadster with this level of focus on the driver since the Lotus Elise.The S2000's engine also set the Honda apart from the rest, producing 237bhp from a 2-litre block, impressive enough today, let alone back in 1999 and it did so without forced induction. Cutting-edge dynamics, a rev limit of 9,000rpm and the engine's position far back in the engine bay (almost front/mid-engined) meant that it had no real competition, no other sporting two-seaters could come close to its combination of speed, handling, brakes and good looks. The car was available in GT-spec which included headlight washers, traction control, PAS, CD and a factory hardtop.The S2000GT offered here is probably unrepeatable as it has covered an incredible 1,179 miles from new and presents as such. It's a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example finished in Nürburgring Blue Metallic with a matching hardtop, complemented by a blue convertible roof with a black leather interior. Equipment includes an electrically operated convertible roof (with stand and cover), heated rear window, air-con, radio CD player, electric windows and electrically adjustable door mirrors.Despite the incredibly low mileage, the service book has been stamped a remarkable seven times and accompanying the car are the owners manuals, service book, toolkit, MOTs and service invoices. The car has been garaged from new and this is clear to see from its spectacular condition, which needs to be seen to be appreciated.The Honda S2000 GT is becoming very collectible and quite right for such an involving sports car. This particular example will certainly be hard to repeat considering its condition, mileage and diligent history. A true 'best of breed' contender, we welcome and encourage your inspection at our Silverstone Festival auction to fully appreciate the quality on offer.Specification Make: HONDA Model: S2000 GT Year: 2002 Chassis Number: JHMAP11302T201116 Registration Number: HG02 MLE Transmission: Manual Engine Number: F20C21021066 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 1179 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Registration No: MXS 707 Chassis No: PB 0660 MOT: ExemptPowered by a supercharged single overhead camshaft 939cc engineRestored over a fifteen-year period during 2005 - 2020Recent expenditure of over £10,000 to improve the carOne of the rarest and most sought-after pre-war MGs, with just 526 PB-series cars producedEqually suited to 'fast road' or competition useA replacement for the successful J2 Midget, the PA followed the general lines of its predecessor, but was equipped with a more robust version of MG’s 847cc, four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine benefiting from a stronger, three-bearing crankshaft and better lubrication. Chassis alterations, many resulting from competition experience, included a longer wheelbase, strengthened transmission and 12”-diameter (up from 8”) brakes. Some 2,000 PAs were produced between 1934 and 1935 when the model was superseded by the relatively short-lived PB, of which a mere 526 were produced. As the final development of the classic ‘Midget’ line of MGs the PB differed in detail in several respects to its predecessor. Most important of these was the enlargement of the engine to 939cc giving both increased torque and power and a revised dashboard layout. As always with MG cars of this period the buyers were very much sporting minded and MG were keen to assist knowing that sporting success amongst their owners could only help sell cars.MG factory records show that chassis PB 0660 was completed on 18th December, 1935, and delivered to Morris International Exports for shipment to Germany two months later. The car’s fate on the Continent is unknown but at some stage it was repatriated. Acquired by its previous keeper in 2004 as a 'kit of parts' (comprising the original chassis frame, front and rear axles, a complete set of brakes, steering components, a rebuilt radiator, a rebuilt differential and sundry minor engine and gearbox parts) from the late Peter Green, long-time Chairman of the MG Car Club’s Triple-M Register and a renowned authority on all things 'Triple-M', he was also able to source a new engine block from Mr Green that has since been stamped with an augmented version of the original number (‘2’ being added after ‘888 APB’ to signify its status as a replacement). A lifetime VSCC member and prolific collector of all things Vintage, the previous owner set out to reconfigure chassis PB 0660 as a quick, lightweight road car with the potential for competition if required.Work commenced in October 2005 and was completed in the Spring of 2020. The chassis frame was in good condition and only needed shot-blasting and powder coating, as did the front and rear axles. The front axle was refurbished professionally by Mike Dowley of Sports and Vintage Motors with new king-pins and bushes. Mike Dowley also renovated the steering box with a new steering drop-arm as the original failed its crack-test. The two steering arms also failed their crack-test so were replaced by new ones. The track rods were in good condition and were fitted with new track rod ends and ball joints. The rear axle with the refurbished differential was fitted with new racing-grade hardened steel half shafts and new bearing carriers, bearings and seals. All four brake drums were skimmed and all the brake shoes were relined. The brake activating levers and cams were all in good condition and were fitted to the back plates with new return springs. New brake cables, hubs and seals were fitted all round. The axles are attached to the chassis with new road springs and shackles, and the car sits on four new 19in wire road wheels supplied by Motor Wheel Services, fitted with new Blockley 4.00-4.50 tyres. The spare wheel has been rebuilt by Phil Hallewell, and shod with a matching Blockley tyre.The engine was professionally refurbished by marque specialist Ken Robinson, using the aforementioned new block, a new solid steel Phoenix crank, new Carillo conrods and a new set of forged alloy Venolia pistons (supplied by Baynton Jones). A new correct-specification cylinder head was obtained from Mike Dowley and this was refurbished by Ken Robinson with a new sports cam, also from Baynton Jones and new valves and valve springs etc. An original flywheel was lightened, and then balanced together with the crank, rods and pistons - A new plate clutch was also fitted. The original 3-brush dynamo was replaced by a new 2-brush example, generally accepted as more reliable especially for night driving and a new lip seal has been fitted at the top of the vertical drive to replace the original one which was prone to leaking. A very good, used Volumex supercharger was sourced from Richard Hardy of 'Vintage MG Parts', who also supplied all the correct manifolds for it. A correct, new 2 ¼” SU/Burlen was supplied by Barry Walker and Ken Robinson restored the supercharger and keyed the gears onto the shafts for safety in case of blow-back from the engine. Mike Dowley supplied a new set of close-ratio gears which were built into an original PA gearbox casing which the previous owner already owned and he also supplied a new prop-shaft as the originals were in poor condition. 'S and V' supplied a new correct PB wiring loom and a set of instruments and gauges.The previous owner had decided he wanted an aluminium body with a pointed tail and obtained one from Ray Pettit of Compound Curvatures. These are made for the ‘Q’ Type replicas often fitted to early ‘T’ Type chassis (which are actually a few inches longer than the ‘P’ Type chassis). Alan Floyd of Classic Car Panel Repairs at Worksop was tasked with shortening the body to fit - he also made the bonnet, side valances, supercharger cover, seats, floorboards front and rear bulkheads, dashboard, both fuel tanks and sundry other brackets and fixings, plus the fuel lines.The result of the above is an attractive, very light open 2-seater with a powerful supercharged engine and a close-ratio gearbox. Because it was intended to be used on the road as well as on the track, it carries full road equipment, mudguards, lights, and a spare wheel. For the track, all of these items are very easily removed. The front mudguards together with the head and side lights can easily be removed as one item, and the spare wheel mounting bracket is secured by 5 bolts which are easily accessible. The rear mudguards are each secured by 2 small brackets bolted to the body.Offered with a large box file of receipts, certificates and endorsements from the Triple-M Register of the MG Car Club along with copies of factory build records, 'MXS 707' represents the final development of the classic overhead cam MG Midget; it embodies all the very best of the breed and is truly Safety Fast!

Registration No: DOX 996 Chassis No: 49032 MOT: ExemptOwned by one family from 1938 until 2002, then a second family from 2002-2022Believed to have only covered 20,000 miles from when new in 1938A very original example with matching numbersSubject to recent engine overhaul and mechanical workWidely considered as one of the most desirable and attractive sports cars of the 1930s and the first to bear the 'Jaguar' name, the iconic SS Jaguar 100 entered pre-production in October 1935 and was launched officially in 1936 as a much improved successor to the SS90 from which it was derived. Improvements included a host of mechanical specifications, most notable of which was upgrading the six-cylinder Standard pushrod engine from side-valve to overhead valve with a new crossflow cylinder head designed by Harry Weslake and William Heynes fed by twin SU Carburettors. The power unit was mated to a four-speed manual transmission with synchromesh on all forward speeds apart from first. With 104hp at 4,600rpm, the car could be propelled to 60 mph in 12.8 seconds and onwards to a top speed of 96mph. Although a very capable car for touring, the SS100 was marketed purely for competition work and in 1936, its first major success came when Tommy Wisdom, crewed by his wife, won the International Alpine Trial - thus beating Bugatti and creating a name for the marque on the continent. This would be the first of many successful rallying forays, which included class wins in the RAC events of 1937 and 1938 and the Alpine Trial was won outright once again in 1948. In total, 190 2.5 litre and 112 3.5 litre SS100s were manufactured by the time production ceased at the outbreak of the second world war, which also spelled the end of the 'SS Cars' name. However, the 'Jaguar' name became carried on with Sir William Lyons' company post war which went on to create some of the most exciting sports cars of all time, all of which owe their heritage to the SS Jaguar 100.According to its accompanying buff logbook, chassis 49032 was first registered as 'DOX 996' on 30th March 1938. Seemingly kept by initial owner Reginald Duckitt of Erdington for just two months, the SS100 then passed to Ashmore’s Auto Engineers of West Bromwich who sold it to Alfred Simms. The latter retained the two-seater up until his death in 1978 when ownership transferred to his widow, Elise Simms. Conscious that the SS Jaguar had been off the road for many years (a surviving tax disc suggests Mr Simms last drove it in the mid-1950s), she contacted marque historian Paul Skilleter and engaged a neighbour and fellow SS100 custodian, John Owen, to commence restoration. Mr Skilleter was reportedly impressed with the car’s ‘untouched originality’ and began to chronicle the work. Sadly, Mrs Simms and Mr Owen fell out over the project and little progress was made after the 1989 issue of the Classic Jaguar Association’s SS100 Register recorded that ‘DOX 996’ was mid-refurbishment and displaying a mere 19,600 miles to its odometer.Beguiled by the two-seater’s originality, Ben Hyams became its next custodian in 2002. Entrusted to Auto Welding & Spraying of Chart Sutton, Kent a few years later, it was not until 2013 that the SS Jaguar was finally a complete entity once more. Repainted in British Racing Green with re-trimmed with Green leather upholstery, the two-seater was barely driven by Mr Hyams due to ill health. Entering the current ownership in 2022, the SS100 was suffering from an engine malady which has since been sorted with the odometer being zeroed accordingly. The instrument now shows less than 300 miles and the vendor is confident - based on the car’s condition, originality and paperwork - that it has covered a mere 20,000 miles from new!Recent health issues have convinced the seller to switch to closed cars hence his reason for putting ‘DOX 996’ back on the market. Still highly presentable, the two-seater boasts full weather equipment (renewed during its rejuvenation) and drove some twenty miles for our recent photoshoot without issue. Indeed, the vendor considers it to be 'very trustworthy' and 'ready to use'.A rare opportunity, if you are looking for an ever-usable collector grade pre-war sports car that represents the earliest iteration of the Jaguar in sporting form, then surely 'DOX 996' is worthy of consideration.

Registration - LK53 UCFChassis No. - WDB2304742F059752M.O.T. - July 2024Odometer - 81,000A true sleeper car, this example of Mercedes-Benz’s SL55 AMG looks superbly understated and refined, rather than the high-performance Grand Tourer it undoubtedly is. Presented in traditional silver, over a black interior, ‘LK53 UCF’ is powered by Mercedes’ AMG tuned 5.5-litre supercharged V8, which produced more than 500hp when new. This drives the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission, with paddles on the steering wheel for manual override. Packed with a long list of factory-fitted equipment, ‘LK53 UCF’ includes features such as heated and electric leather seats, multi-function steering wheel, drive mode selector, central infotainment system, split-rim AMG alloys, AMG badging, discreet boot lip spoiler, black – rather than chrome – grille and vent detailing, quad exhaust, and of course, the folding hard-top roof.Despite this R230 SL-Class being a 20 year old car, there are only 81,000 miles indicated on the odometer, though these are not warranted. It’s been in the car of the current owner for more than 12 years, and it has been stored for the past three years. On being put back on the road, the owner says they have had ‘LK53 UCF’ overhauled to make it ready for driving again. As such, they consider all areas of the SL55 AMG to be in ‘excellent’ condition, from engine and transmission, to interior, paint, bodywork, and electrics. The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is one that is steeped in history, with a series of class-leading models produced over the years, since its introduction in 1954. The ‘SL’ is likely to stand for Sport-Licht (Sport Light) – though Mercedes has never confirmed this abbreviation – though the model has moved towards a grand tourer over the decades from its initial sporting roots. The W198 300 SL is one of the most famous and desirable cars ever, with the famous ‘Gullwing’ coupe and convertible Roadster lasting until 1963. They were replaced by the almost equally beautiful W113 models, nicknamed the ‘Pagoda’ SL because of a concave roofline. This edition was produced until 1971, using a range of 2.3, 2.5, or 2.8-litre straight-six engines. The R107 SL arrived in 1971, with a new design ethos, and the first-time fitting of V8 engines alongside straight sixes. These grew up to 5.5-litres in size, as the SL moved towards a touring model, though it was rallied by Mercedes-Benz in long-distance races. In 1989, the R129 version arrived, introduced as a convertible with a removable hard-top – and the engine capacities and cylinder count continued to climb. Now available with the straight-six units were V6 and V6 options – the latter up to 6.0-litres in size – and also a trio of V12 options, up to 7.3-litres. In 2001, the distinction between cabriolet and coupe was completely removed, with the introduction of the Vario Roof. This saw a folding hard-top fitted as standard to all models, allowing for two cars in one, and was continued on to the R231 version introduced in 2012, running until 2020. Finally, the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class has become the Mercedes-AMG SL-Class, signifying its shift to the sports arm of the Stuttgart marque, and is offered only as a convertible, with folding soft-top roof and 2+2 seating. · Highly-specified example, with desirable colour scheme and cabin.· Sought-after, high power SL55 AMG fitted with supercharged V8.· Recently refreshed after time in storage.
1967 Triumph 649cc Bonneville T120RRegistration no. BVG 78EFrame no. T120R DU61978Engine no. T120R DU61978The Triumph Bonneville name originated with the 1956 world record attempt at Bonneville salt flats in Utah by Jonny Allen on a streamlined Tiger 110 which achieved a speed of 214mph and, despite the fact that there was some doubt over the record, due to the legality of the timing equipment used, the subsequent publicity was irresistible, and the Bonneville name became synonymous with sporting Triumph twins for all time. BVG 78E was imported from the USA by a friend of the present owner in 1991. The vendor advises that the bike was restored by the previous owner, but in 1992 he was affected by ill health and sold the machine to the vendor, when the mileage was 9,828 (original purchase receipt on file). The vendor has used the bike only sparingly in the intervening years, and the mileage reading now is 12,983.For practical purposes, the owner has fitted a slightly later twin leading shoe front brakeplate, but the original single leading shoe version is included with the machine.Not used regularly for some years, BVG 78E has been started this year, a new battery has recently been fitted, and it should only require light re-commissioning and basic safety checks before returning to the road. Documentation consists of an old V5, an old-type V5C, the original Florida US Title document, some old MoTs, a few invoices from the restoration, and the vendor's aforementioned purchase receipt.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 21 April starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate1961 BSA 500cc Gold Star DBD34Registration no. 427 ASMFrame no. CB32 10809Engine no. DBD34GS 6058For the majority of enthusiasts the 500cc DBD34 in Clubman's trim is the epitome of the 'Goldie'. The DBD, the ultimate road going 500 Gold Star, appeared in 1956 when the famous RRT2 close-ratio gearbox and 190mm front brake became standard equipment. From then on BSA's perennially popular sporting single changed little until its much-lamented demise in 1963. Today, the Gold Star remains one of the most highly sought after of post-war British motorcycles and is supported by a most enthusiastic owners' club.This DBD34 Goldie was purchased 'rebuilt and unregistered' by the deceased owner's husband, and registered to him in September 1983 (receipt on file). The machine consists of a frame and engine both dating from 1961; however, they did not start life together. A Gold Star with frame number 'CB32 10809' was originally despatched to Kings Motors in Wolverhampton as a DBD34 Clubman on 19th May 1961, while the engine is from a DBD34 Special Competition Model, despatched on 2nd February 1961 to BSA in the USA. Notable features include alloy wheel rims; an Amal GP carburettor; and the close-ratio RRT2 gearbox (stamping OK). Standing unused for some years, the machine is offered for recommissioning and sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over). Accompanying documentation consists of two V5C Registration Certificates and HPI/DVLA check sheets.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 - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1968 Velocette 499cc Venom ThruxtonRegistration no. SHN 306FFrame no. RS19566Engine no. VMT 696•One of the most highly prized of British sporting 'singles'•Only three owners from new•Restored in the early 2000s•Present ownership since 2015'Prestige machine of the pushrod range was the Venom Thruxton 500. It incorporated all the accumulated experience gained in the years the Venom Clubman has been raced in long-distance events, plus the development of the 12 and 24-hour record breaker.' – C E A 'Titch' Allen, The Velocette Saga.Production race successes, notably in the Thruxton 500 Mile event prompted Veloce Ltd to adopt that name for their newly introduced top-of-the-range sports roadster in 1964. Based on the existing Venom, the Thruxton featured a tuned engine with revised big-valve cylinder head, Amal GP carburettor, clip-on handlebars, rear-set footrests and a twin-leading-shoe front brake as standard equipment. Although the Thruxton took its name from the eponymous Hampshire racing circuit, arguably its finest hour came in 1967 when Manxman Neil Kelly won the '500' class in the Isle of Man TT's Production race, newly introduced for that year. Although much admired by the café racing fraternity, the Thruxton's necessarily high price limited its appeal to a select handful of wealthy connoisseurs. It is thought that as few as 1,100 were made by the factory (with a further 55-60 assembled from parts by main dealers) and today the Thruxton is one of the most sought-after of post-war Velocettes.This particular Thruxton was supplied new by The Kart House of Darlington to Norman Robson of Crook, County Durham. The late owner purchased the machine at Bonhams' Stafford sale in April 2015 (Lot 285). The previous owner, only its second in almost 50 years, had acquired the machine circa 1990 and meticulously restored it to what in 2015 was described as 'as new' condition. Completed around 2005, the Thruxton was run and exhibited at shows all over the Northeast of England. Having been stored in controlled conditions and unused since purchase the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed.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 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Its domination of the Isle of Man Clubman's TT led to the event being dropped after Gold Star rider Bernard Codd's 1956 Senior/Junior double victory. For the majority of enthusiasts the 500cc DBD34 in Clubman's trim is the epitome of the 'Goldie'.

DBD34 4871 (see text)• Restored in the 2010s• Dry stored since 2018• Requires recommissioningOn Wednesday 30th June 1937, a specially prepared Empire Star 500 ridden by the great Wal Handley achieved a 100mph lap of the Brooklands circuit on its way to a debut race victory and award of the 'Gold Star' that would give BSA's new super sports model its evocative name. Possibly the most successful production racing motorcycle ever, the post-war Gold Star formed the mainstay of clubman's racing in the 1950s. In fact, it was the model's domination of the Isle of Man Clubman's TT which led to the event being dropped after Gold Star rider Bernard Codd's 1956 Senior/Junior double victory. While its trials and scrambles derivatives demonstrated the design's versatility by chalking up an equally impressive record in off-road competition, for the majority of enthusiasts the 500cc DBD34 in Clubman's trim is the epitome of the 'Goldie'. The DBD, the ultimate road going 500 Gold Star, appeared in 1956 when the famous RRT2 close-ratio gearbox and 190mm front brake became standard equipment.

Today, the Gold Star remains one of the most highly sought after of post-war British motorcycles and is supported by a most enthusiastic owners' club.Delivered new on 31st December 1954, this Gold Star left the factory as a CB34 in Clubman's trim, and has since been upgraded with a believed DBD34 engine (please note it has a non-factory restamped number). The Goldie was purchased by the lady vendor's late husband some time after 2007 and restored over the following years (there are various bills of file dating from 2013/2014).

1959 Austin Mini Se7en Deluxe Saloon Registration no. XAA 807 Chassis no. A-A2S7-7854 Engine no. 8AM-U-H/411714 (see text)•Dating from the first year of Mini production•Restored in the late 1980s•Regularly attendee at car shows and rallies throughout the Southeast•Substantial history file'The new Mini was as different from the British small car norm in 1959 as a space shuttle from a firework. It bristled with innovative ideas, it looked radically different from any other car and was the most compact 'real' car Britain ever produced.' – Chris Rees, Complete Classic Mini. One of the most influential automobiles of all time, the Alec Issigonis-designed Mini debuted in 1959 to universal acclaim. True, there had been numerous front-wheel-drive designs before the Mini's arrival, but the transverse engine layout allowed Issigonis to create a trend-setting masterpiece of automotive packaging. The first Mini prototypes were running by November 1957 and in April 1959 the first pre-production examples were hand-assembled at Austin's Longbridge factory. In May 1959, the first Morris-badged version was built at Cowley and that car, registration '621 AOK', now forms part of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust's collection at Gaydon. Less than two-and-a-half years after its initial conception the Mini was officially launched at the 1959 Motor Show, having been shown to the motoring press eight days previously. BMC chose to market the car as the 'Austin Se7en' and 'Morris Mini Minor' before 'Mini' became a marque in its own right in 1969. In due course estate and van versions arrived, larger engines became available, more luxurious Riley and Wolseley models joined the line-up and the sporting Mini Cooper was introduced. The early Mk1 had the 848cc A-Series engine, rubber cone suspension and floor-mounted starter button, the latter two features being replaced by Hydrolastic suspension and key starting respectively in 1964. De Luxe versions – preferred by the majority of customers – came with bumper over-riders and additional exterior brightwork.Competed on 30th November 1959, this very early Austin Se7en was despatched new to Haigs Motor Co Ltd in Southsea, Hampshire. Originally finished in Tartan Red with grey/red interior, it left the factory equipped with a heater, kicking strips, and a rubber mat in boot, and was registered as 'XAA 807' on 18th December 1959. It would appear that the original engine ('8AM-U-H/7590') has since been replaced. The car's early history is unknown until 1973 when it was purchased in Southampton for £95. The Mini was used continuously and well loved. The same family owned the car until 1986, by which time it was worn out and had been garage stored for some considerable time. In 1988 'XAA' was purchased by Malcolm Bell and lovingly restored using many original parts. The Mini was also returned to its original red exterior colour. Since then the car has been maintained by the aforementioned owner, regularly attending shows and rallies throughout the Southeast. There is a substantial file with the car containing numerous old MoTs, ownership history, bills and other documents, while in the boot may be found sundry spares, some books, and other associated equipment. Described by the vendor as in generally good, condition, though with some minor cosmetic imperfections, 'XAA 807' represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a restored example of one of the 20th Century's greatest cars in its earliest, purest form.

1960 Facel Vega HK500 Transmission: manualMileage:90000Founded by Jean Daninos in 1939, Forges et Ateliers de Construction d'Eure-et-Loir (FACEL) originally specialised in the production of aircraft materials. After World War II, Facel distributed car bodies to Panhard, Simca and Ford France. It would not be until 1954 that Facel began to manufacture its own vehicle, the Facel Vega FV, unveiled at the Paris Salon in 1954. Crippling legislation immediately after the war made it was virtually impossible for luxurious cars to be manufactured in France but despite this, Jean Daninos was passionate about reigniting the romance of lavishly glamorous French motoring. Despite the staggering $7,000 asking price at launch, buyers were still flocking to take ownership. Later developments saw the introduction, in 1956, of the Facel Vega FVS, further evolving into the all-new HK500 in 1959. The chosen engine to power the next chapter in Facel history was the most famous of them all, the 383 cubic inch, 6.3 litre, V8, which produced a thundering 360bhp, a claimed top speed of 147mph and 0-60mph time of just 8.5 seconds. Through this combination of alluring styling and significant power, the Facel Vega HK500 legend was born. The media were hugely excited with Facel's latest sports coupé. A 'Mechanix Illustrated' magazine tester, Tom McCahill, said the HK500 was, Sexier than the Place Pigalle and throatier than a Russian basso; A sporting piece of equipment that looks like money, which is exactly what it costs ($9,795 new). A car to be appreciated as a remarkable and wonderfully satisfying road companion.Adored for its charm and style, the Facel Vega HK500 captivated the hearts of the masses, with numerous celebrities taking ownership of this pinnacle of French elegance. Drawn by Jean Daninos himself, the Facel Vega seamlessly incorporates American styling with French glamour. With over 390bhp available from the roaring Chrysler V8, the HK500 was one of the fastest cars of its day. The Facel Vega II replaced the HK in 1962, at which time, it is widely thought, just 489 were built and reportedly only 105 were right hand drive, fewer still manual.On Boxing day in 1995, Mr. Green, the previous owner's father bought this example from the classified ad of a US classic car magazine, it described the car as 'the best in the world' and thus he bought it unseen and wired the $12,000. At this point, the retired Mr. Green, who had wanted a Facel since a boy, had no idea of the extent of the restoration that would be required. However, once the restoration was finished in 1997, Classic Cars magazine said this example was €œthe best in the world €, after a £50,000 restoration it just might be. The story of the restoration is documented in the November issue of Classic Cars magazine and a copy of this can be found in the history file which also includes a breakdown of the costs and the specialists used back in 1996. A staggering £36,000 was spent on bodywork. The car was found to have the incorrect 5.8 litre engine so Mr. Green sourced the correct 6.3 litre Chrysler Typhoon unit from Facel Specialist, Ian Webb, he had this rebuilt and transplanted into this exceptional car to retain the originality. The history file contains countless invoices and receipts for parts and work including help from Hans Ruhe with the fiddly bits and Downton Bodyworks taking on the largest part of the project. When completed, the car remained a family treasure, it was a regular with the Facel Owners Club and featured at the N.E.C Motor Show stand in 1998. Mr. Green transferred ownership of this Facel to his son David who, along with his family, enjoyed taking the car to local Facel meets and car shows, creating new memories with what had been an extraordinary story.Purchased by the vendor from us in 2020, this stunning HK500 has been freshly painted in gold and bronze with opulent magnolia hide and ample chromework. The car, requiring a little attention since it's restoration int the 90's, has benefitted from work carried out by well renowned restoration specialists, The Chelsea Workshop since he took ownership. With invoices amounting to over £48,000 in his three years of ownership, the car has been given a full repaint, interior trim work with new carpets, any issues with the car resolved, as well as the installation of air conditioning, (costing £7,834.00 alone). The car presents beautifully, reportedly running and driving very well.Supplied with several folders full of history, photographs and Facel Vega Owners Club details. The car benefits from a MoT test certificate valid until March 2024. A truly exceptional example with a great history and achingly gorgeous, this is a unique opportunity to own one of the most iconic motorcars of the 1960s and follow in the footsteps of Ava Gardner and Dean Martin, to name a few.
