Lot 12
This watch is a museum piece!; It is that rare as most did not survive the new technology within the watch.; So happy to have this in our stock and thrilled to help it find a new home with someone who loves this kind of unique technology.; It's like the De Lorean sports car - miles ahead of its time but did not have commerical success but then became very collectable and rare.In the 1970's Bulova patented the Thermatron as a “thermoelectrically powered wristwatch.” In simple terms, this was Bulova’s attempt to create an alternative to the solar-powered watch that the Japanese Citizen watches were promoting.; They worked on the watch for nearly a decade before launching in 1982.Bulova was trying to miniaturize the established idea of the Seebeck effect, which is the basis for a thermoelectric generator. Basically, if you have a flux (mixture) of hot and cold thermoelectric materials, the temperature gradient can release electricity in a way similar to the photoelectric effect. In principle, thermoelectric generation is a cousin of photoelectric generation which is the basis of light-powered (photovoltaic) watch movements. Thermoelectric motors require a regular and constant difference of temperature between the “hot” and “cold” end. If there are issues with this element of the generator, it will not properly generate electricity.However, it did not work!; Not enough temperature differnece lead to the watch not working and too much meant the batteries coroded the watch from the inside.; Hence not many survived. This watch has been converted to work from a normal watch battery.

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: JLO 110K Chassis No: 1S50350 MOT: ExemptOne of just 2,116 right-hand drive examples and fitted with the desirable manual gearboxMatching chassis and engine numbersSubject of a full professional restoration in 2010 in its original colour combinationOffered with a history file including the Jaguar Heritage CertificateLast of the line, the Jaguar E-type Series III was introduced in 1971. Longer, wider and more comfortable than its predecessors, the newcomer blurred the lines between sports car and grand tourer. Powered by a turbine-smooth all-alloy SOHC 5343cc V12 engine allied to either Jaguar four-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the refined manner in which it performed (contemporary road tests spoke of 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds and 150mph) simply blew road testers away. Benefitting from a broader track, ventilated disc brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and Lucas transistorised ignition, the Series III was visually distinguished by its 'egg-crate' grille, flared wheel arches and purposeful quad-exhaust pipes. Available in Fixed-Head Coupe (2+2-seater) or Roadster (2-seater) guises, it remained in volume production until 1974 (though, a special commemorative run of forty-nine Black-painted roadsters was released the following year).Chassis number ‘1S50350’ was despatched new on the 17th September 1971 to the supplying dealer, Charles Follett, London W1 and thereafter was sold to the first owner, a Mrs K. Gaze. It was finished from new in Light Blue paintwork with a Dark Blue interior upholstery, pleasingly the colour scheme in which it is still presented today. Desirable for being both a manual gearbox car and a matching numbers example, ‘JLO 110K’ was lavished with a comprehensive restoration in 2010, including a full bodywork renovation with the bodywork stripped and restored with a focus upon saving as much of the original metalwork as possible. More recently, it has benefitted from a fuel system refresh in 2017 and full servicing, with new spark plugs as well as rear exhaust box and tailpipes in 2022.Starting readily and both running and driving very well during the recent photography session, the Jaguar is offered with a credible recorded mileage of 81,500 miles on the odometer. Accompanied by a history file comprising the JHT Heritage Certificate, a collection of invoices and previous MOTs, a maintenance chart, operating, maintenance and service handbook, ownership history and a current V5C document. UK-supplied, manual gearbox, matching numbers examples are highly desirable E-Types and with this V12 Coupe being all of these and having been provided a full restoration in its original colour scheme, is certainly one to consider.

Registration No: DJO 309 Chassis No: SA-1175 MOT: ExemptRare Drophead Coupe model with coachwork by Salmons TickfordIn the ownership of just two individuals from newTreated to several previous restoration worksOne of just 2,738 examples of the SA manufactured (across all three variants)As a result of MGs sale to Morris Motors in 1935, rationalisation was the company's priority during 1935, and all new models shared as many parts as possible with other members of the burgeoning Nuffield Organisation. Launched at the 1935 Motor Show, the SA represented a new departure for MG. The first all-new model to be introduced since the company's acquisition by Morris Motors, it was considerably larger than any previous MG and caused a certain amount of consternation amongst enthusiasts who feared an abandonment of the virtues embodied by the marque's nimble sports cars. They need not have worried, for although based on the Wolseley Super Six and aimed at the luxury car market, the SA received sufficient input from MG founder and designer Cecil Kimber to transform it into a car worthy of the famous octagon badge.Originally of 2026cc, the overhead-valve Wolseley Six had been enlarged to 2,288cc by the time SA production commenced and was further stretched to 2322cc in 1937. With 75bhp propelling a car weighing around 1½ tons, acceleration was necessarily leisurely; nevertheless, the SA could cruise comfortably at 60-70mph and had a genuine top speed approaching 85mph. Only available as a four-door Saloon at launch, it was subsequently offered as a Tickford-bodied Drophead Coupé and Charlesworth-bodied Open Tourer. By the time production ceased in 1939, 2,738 SAs of all types had left the factory.Chassis ‘SA-1175’ was supplied to Salmons Tickford for clothing in Tickford Drophead Coupé coachwork, and was thereafter first registered on the 21st December 1936, being supplied new to a J. S Adams Esq for some £226. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Blue paintwork with a complementing Dark Blue leather interior upholstery and a hood trimmed in Beige, the SA is complete with notable features including trafficators (with additional flashing indicators for safety) and a rear-mounted spare wheel. Being retained in the first ownership for some thirty-six years before being bequeathed to the first owner’s nephew (the vendor) in 1972. Therefore, a single-family ownership and just a two-owner example from new, while in the vendor’s ownership, ‘DJO 309’ has received restoration work with Tattenham Corner Motors (in 1984) and TC Restorations (in 1991).Used regularly by the vendor throughout his ownership, until sadly his health deteriorated in 2022, the MG is now on offer having been off the road for a couple of years and will therefore require a degree of recommissioning before pressing into road use, although the vendor does inform us that the MG starts and drives. Rated by the vendor as having ‘good’ engine, bodywork, and paintwork and ‘average’ in regard to interior trim, gearbox, and electrical equipment, it is offered with a history file that contains the original sales invoice, invoices for maintenance, servicing, and restoration works, previous MOT certificates and a current V5C document.

Registration No: Unregistered (formerly EGE 675C) Chassis No: M/A2S4S/294488 MOT: ExemptFirst registered in Glasgow and reputedly rallied by its first ownerCampaigned by Gerard Paton and Gerard McCosh in the 1973 Shell Oils / The Scotsman Rally ChampionshipLast driven in anger on the 1973 Tour of Mull from which it retired with the offside front wing damage it still sports todaySpeedwell goodies, 998cc twin-carb engine, rollcage, internal fuel lines, Works-style dash etcIn need of total restoration or leave as is for displaySupplied new in Glasgow (or its now defunct number plate ‘EGE 675C’ would imply), this battle-scarred Mini is rumoured to have been a competition car all its life. Still sporting a decal for the 1973 Scottish Rally Championship to its roof, the diminutive saloon is known to have contested that year’s Tour of Mull as car number ‘88’ with driver Gerard Paton and co-driver Gerard McCosh aboard. Unfortunately, the two Gerards’ efforts were curtailed by a collision which resulted in the damage still visible to the old warhorse’s offside front wing. Not driven in anger since, the Morris is a fascinating time capsule with its bolted-in rollcage, internally-routed fuel lines, auxiliary Speedwell gauges, bolstered front seats, Works-style dashboard extensions and 7,000rpm red-lined tacho etc. Competing in the 1-litre class, the Mini is fitted with a Riley-branded, twin carburettor-fed A-Series engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. The presence of a September 1964 dated window wiper motor suggests that the abused bodyshell might possibly be original. Substantially complete, the Mini requires total restoration or could be left in its current state as a fascinating display piece.

Registration No: OEW 163M Chassis No: GAN5138726G MOT: ExemptFinished in BRG complemented to a Black vinyl interiorDesirable ‘round wheel arch’ modelOffered with history file and current V5CWhen new, the MG Midget was essentially a MkII Austin Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes. In christening its new small sports car 'Midget', BMC revived a name made famous by a range of pre-war MGs. The new Midget started life powered by a 948cc A-Series engine fed by a pair of SU carburettors. Matters had greatly improved by the time the MkIII version appeared in 1966, not least in the engine compartment where the motor's capacity had been increased via 1,098cc to 1,275cc. A total of 226,001 Midgets are understood to have been built between 1961 and 1979, some 100,246 of which were MkIII models.First registered on the 1st January 1973 and a UK supplied example, this Midget’s desirable features include its British Racing Green paintwork with a Black vinyl interior and Black soft-top and best of all, the attractive and desirable round rear wheel arch design. It’s also from the era of the chrome bumpers. The subject of an extensive restoration a few years ago, it still presents well, with the vendor describing it as ‘in excellent condition’. New panels were fitted as part of the restoration work. It is offered with a history file and the current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: Unregistered Chassis No: 27677R MOT: ExemptExported to Jersey in 2001 and previously UK registered as 'HEH 623'Subject to a previous gearbox overhaul and replacement clutchAn attractive little pre-war TourerSinger and MG were great rivals during the 1930s competing against each other on race circuits, trials stages and showrooms alike. Vying for sales with the MG T-Series, the Singer Roadster retained what was essentially the same two-door, swept tail silhouette throughout its sixteen year history (1939-1955) albeit with various stylistic tweaks along the way. The Singer Nine Roadster was a variant of the Bantam Singer Nine. After some years Singer cautiously returned to the sports tourer but not the sports car market. The open four-seater Nine Roadster appeared on the 6th March 1939 with a lightly tuned version of the larger 1074 cc overhead camshaft engine already seen in the Bantam Nine plus its three-speed gearbox.This attractive little pre-war Roadster was exported to Jersey in 2001 and was previously UK-registered as 'HEH 623'. Understood to have previously been restored by Trevor Cornelius (Singer Spares) of Kent '27677R' has been in current ownership since 2019, with the vendor previously having the gearbox overhauled, a replacement clutch fitted, the prop shaft refurbished and 5 new tyres. Offered with a copy of repair manual, Green log book, collection of invoices and old MOT certificates The Singer will need to be registered once again in the UK with the DVLA however, the vendor has paid the VAT liability in the shipping costs onto the mainland with Channel Seaways. Hopefully, the original registration number will be retained in the process of registering.PLEASE NOTE: The registration number displayed in the photographs is not included in the sale.

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: V248 FFG Chassis No: SARRDWBTCXD510160 MOT: October 2025Number 1,362 of just 2,000 75th Anniversary examples manufacturedOne of only 500 examples supplied to the United Kingdomc.78,000 recorded miles on the odometerOnly three former keepersEntered from a small private collection of MG Rover carsThe MG F 75th Anniversary limited edition (LE) launched at the Geneva Motor Show. A celebration limited edition version of the UK’s best-selling sports car, the MG F, it was restricted to a production run of 2,000 that was built in both 1.8i and 1.8i VVC versions. Available in two colours, Mulberry Red and Black, the MG F 75 LE comes with a contrasting hood colour; Black when specified Red and Grenadine Red when specified Black and featured 16" eight-spoke ‘Minilite’ style wheels. The interiors were all trimmed in Grenadine Red leather, with leather seats, door casings, handbrake, gear lever gaiter and steering wheel. The wood/alloy gear knob was matched with wood veneers on the centre console and air vent and the in-car entertainment was uprated by the addition of a single-disc CD player. Externally, a chrome theme is applied to the door handles, grille and bodyside air intakes. From the 2,000 production run, UK allocation was only 500.Manufactured in 1999, ‘V248 FFG’ is a desirable VVC example and was supplied new by Crawley Down Group Ltd, being registered new on the 23rd September that year. Finished in Mulberry Red paintwork with Grenadine Red leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, the MG is entered into the sale along with two others from a small private collection of MG Rover cars. Offered with just c.78,000 recorded miles on the odometer, the MG F has had just three former keepers. Benefitting from renewed head gasket in 2010 at 63,000 miles, the 75th Anniversary has received an ignition service kit including a new coil earlier this year. Supplied with a history file that contains the book pack, including the owner's handbook and service book in the MG wallet, the history is documented across the service book and invoices, the most recent of the 10 services being last year 76,919 miles. Also on file, are a collection of MOTs, a large collection of previous invoices and a current V5C document. These 75th Anniversary LEs are highly collectable and this example is temptingly offered without reserve. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: JNF 506 Chassis No: 400-1-378 MOT: ExemptVery original and solid example that can be used as isComprehensive history file, dating back to 1973V5C records 2 previous owners until 2023, when acquired by the vendorMille Miglia eligible modelWith the support of the War Reparations Board, the rights to manufacture the BMW 326, 327 and 328 and their famed six-cylinder engine were secured by the Bristol Aeroplane Company’s fledgling Car Division in 1946. Place a pre-war BMW 327 alongside Bristol's first offering, the 400, and the ancestry is self-evident, but there were many differences. The decision to make it a four-seater saw it based on the longer chassis of the 326. The aircraft grade Bristol body was more streamlined than that of the 327, while Bristol developed the already impressive 328 engine into one of the finest 2-litre units of the period, which powered not only all Bristol models until 1961, but various sports and racing cars from AC, Arnolt, Cooper, Frazer Nash, Lister, Lotus and Tojeiro. The 400's interior trim was an unmistakably British blend of leather and wood. With its lithe 1170kg kerb weight, rack and pinion steering, independent front suspension, torsion bar controlled rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes, the Bristol was among the fastest and best handling saloons of its generation capable of humbling rivals with far larger engines. However, such excellence did not come cheap and only 487 examples of the 400 were made.First registered in May 1948, Chassis 378 had one previous recorded owner until 2002 when the previous owner purchased it. In 1973, it was sent for a complete restoration which included having the engine, gearbox and suspension completely overhauled for which there are invoices from Bristol Cars. The interior was re-trimmed and the carpets, headlining and leather work were refurbished.Unfortunately, shortly after the previous owner purchased the car it suffered some fuelling issues which resulted in a small, but luckily contained, fire around the carburettors which burnt the paint off the bonnet cowling. The car was subsequently taken to a classic car repair garage in Kent who got the car back to running standard and the vendor then put the car away for 20 years until we pulled it out of its resting place in dry storage in 2023. This did, however, preserve what must be one of the most original Bristol 400s available. The current owner, who acquired it from H&H in 2023, initiated repairs, finding the engine in good condition. Following refurbishments and reassembly, the car is said to run well.The vendor has chosen to move this fantastic Bristol on for another prospective owner to enjoy and improve as they see fit. This rare example comes with a good documentation folder that includes lots of previous MOTs, the driver's handbook and workshop manual, a spares list and a number of invoices for work that has been carried out on the vehicle over the years.

Registration No: YUY 370H Chassis No: GCN-1318G MOT: March 2025A home market car first registered on the 5th September 1969Subject to an extensive bodywork refurbishment and engine overhaul in 1992Offered with a large history file detailing servicing and restoration billsIntended as a flagship sportscar to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MGC was introduced in autumn 1967. Based around the same two-door monocoque bodyshell as the humble MGB (albeit with a substantially altered engine bay and floorpan), the newcomer was powered by a 2912cc OHV straight-six engine allied to either four-speed manual plus overdrive or three-speed automatic transmission. Equipped with new torsion-bar independent front suspension, telescopic shock absorbers and lower geared rack and pinion steering, it was visually distinguished by a 'power bulge' bonnet and taller 15-inch wheels. While early road tests criticised the car's 'nose heavy' handling later reports were far kinder (which suggests that Abingdon's engineers quickly overcame the larger powerplant's extra mass). With some 145bhp and 170lbft of torque on tap, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Too readily confused with the four-cylinder MGB, it was dropped in 1969 after just 4,544 Roadsters and 4,458 GTs had allegedly been made. Though, some forty years on, the MGC's lack of period sales success has only made it more collectible.According to the BMIHT heritage certificate on file, chassis G-CN1/318-G was despatched on the 12th February 1968 to Windmill & Lewis Limited of Bristol and was specified in the attractive colour scheme of Mineral Blue over a Black interior trim. Little is known of the early history of the MGC, however it is known that by 1992 it was in the possession of a Mr H.D Brown in a rather dilapidated state and in need of restoration. The Classic Transport Company of Wolverhampton were entrusted with the refurbishment works to the car, and invoices on file from them are backed up by a photographic record of works undertaken, which included panel working such as new sills, fresh paint in the original Mineral Blue, fresh interior trim and a new hood, rechroming work and a complete overhaul of the straight-six power unit. Once back on the road, the two-seater was continuously kept well maintained and the condition of the now thirty year old restoration is testament to the high quality of the works performed and its gentle life. Acquired by the current keeper in 2018, the car was used sparingly for sunny days, and an invoice on file dating to April 2024 confirms a full oil and coolant service, new batteries, remedial works to the carburettors and work to the ignition system to aid its good running.Upon inspection, the vendor noted that 'YUY 370H' is a particularly good example of an MGC Roadster and remarked that it has remained in 'very good' condition all round. Now offered for sale due to the vendor having a number of other classics that are taking up his time, 'YUY 370H' will make a fine sports car for any prospective new owner either to enjoy trips out or keep as part of a collection.

After almost ten years of production, in 1974, the TX joined the line-up as the top of the range model and was fitted with a 93bhp 1,647cc engine and a five-speed gearbox. It was the first French car with central door locking, electric front windows, a sports steering wheel, laminated windscreen and inertia-reel front seat belts. The R16, a comfortable car with good roadholding, proved very popular and sold exceptionally well, with some 1.8 million cars built.Chassis ‘0141372’ was manufactured in 1978 and is one of the desirable range-topping TX examples and is understood to have resided in its home market of France from new until spotted by the vendor advertised on Le Parking in early 2020 while he was searching for a R16 after owning several previously. Acquiring the car for some €8,000, he subsequently had the TX transported to the United Kingdom and later that year was road registered as ‘TAO 917S’. Thereafter, ‘0141372’ was entrusted to the very highly regarded Renault specialist Renault Reborn, for restoration and recommissioning as required.Benefitting from bodywork renovations and repainting; an engine overhaul; engine bay restoration; radiator refresh; new rear brake shoes, brake hoses, handbrake cable and master cylinder; new gearbox seals; set of replacement seats and door cards; undersealing; and new tyres, the work with Renault Reborn totalled c.£7,000 with some £1,600 additionally spent on parts and other improvements, bringing the renovation cost to a total of approximately £8,600. Further benefitting from an engine tune and brake system bleed earlier this year, the Renault started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. The R16 is accompanied by a history file that includes a collection of invoices, documentation relating to the UK registration, a CD with images of the restoration work and a current V5C document.

For many, the early chrome-bumper MG B Roadster is the epitome of the classic British sports car. When the MG B replaced the MG A in 1962, the main change was the use of a lower and wider steel monocoque bodyshell rather than a separate chassis and body, and a larger 1798cc engine instead of the 1498cc power unit fitted to the MG A. The other major changes to the model were a new grille and an all-synchromesh gearbox on the 1967-launched MkII, whilst American Federal-compliant Black rubber instead of chrome bumpers further changed the appearance from 1974.First registered on 1st August 1971 and displaying a mere c.50,775 miles, this UK market MG B Roadster is finished in the attractive colour combination of White complemented by a Red interior. Externally, it wears handsome ‘Minilite’-style alloy wheels and is a desirable chrome bumper model.

Phased out when Iso closed its doors in December 1974, some sources suggest that just 317 cars were produced of which a mere 12 being of a right-hand drive Sport specification, according to the Iso and Bizzarrini Owner’s Club. The Sport was fitted with an integrated chin spoiler and lightweight seats and bumpers.One of just 12 right-hand drive Lele Sports built. ‘500293D’ is a later iteration of the Lele and therefore powered by the Ford 5.7 litre Cobra Jet V8 engine mated to a 5-speed ZF manual gearbox. Finished in Bright Red with a Black leather interior the speedo displays some 34,651 miles at the time of consignment. The interior features air conditioning, a full-length electric sliding roof, electric windows and power steering, which was an extra on this late car. The Lele was the subject of a refresh c.2017, including a repaint with the screens out, a new headlining and new window rubbers. There is a receipt on file for work carried out in May 2017, by Rock Valley Automotive in Bristol, to skim the cylinder heads, fit a new head gasket, a Hi-Flow radiator and thermostat.

MG’s first attempt at the then new ‘hot hatch’ era, it was the perception of many manufacturers that most car buyers were concerned open top two seat sports cars were something from the past. The MG Metro boasted some quite positive features for the day including the standard use of powerful servo assisted brakes using four pot (piston) calipers up front, very competitive performance and superb economy courtesy of the responsive and well proven A+ series engine. With around 120,000 made between 1982 and 1990, most are of the facelift variant launched in October 1984 where the bonnet line was lowered and streamlined, and a new interior and dash moulding was introduced.First registered in the UK on 1st November 2016, this Austin Rover MG Metro was for a Maltese customer and despatched to them from Muscats Motors Ltd Msida, Malta (original despatch note on file), being first registered in Malta on 27th May 1988. Leading a charmed life in the sun, the MG Metro resided in Malta (a right-hand drive market) until 2016, subsequently being exported from the Mediterranean island at the end of June 2016 and displaying some 40,500 miles (65,287km recorded on the Maltese documents). Back in the UK the MG Metro was registered in the mainland UK with its current registration number ‘E914 NOW’ before reaching its new owner, where it remained with them until spring 2023 before being subsequently sold to our vendor. Now with two former UK keepers recorded, the interior is in 'Good' condition, the seats have survived well with some of the trim showing the usual sagging often seen on 1980s cars. Subject to cylinder head work in c.2017, the MG has also benefitted from a new exhaust along with new suspension units. Offered with a collection of paperwork, invoices, MOTs, a copy of some Maltese export paperwork and the current V5C, this is an opportunity to purchase an MG Metro that spent many years in a forgiving car environment, that is still RHD and UK specification.

Finished in an iconic Green, prior to the current ownership, the car has been subject to a replacement Ivor Searle engine, completed some 12-15 years ago, with the factory gearbox with overdrive on 3rd and 4th gear. As is quite common these days, the rubber impact bumpers have been backdated to the earlier chrome bumpers, and the keen sighted will have noted the Roadster wears an earlier registration number, having been changed to an age-related 1970 number to complement the period of chrome bumper MG Bs, we believe, by a previous keeper. The dashboard remains in 1977 specification.Thought to have been subjected to rust preventative treatment underneath, some 6 to 7 years ago, the Roadster also benefitted from having electronic ignition fitted in the last year, to aid a healthy spark and more reliable cold starts. At the time of consignment, the radio cassette player worked fine. It is offered with a V5C and a full tonneau.

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.

Representing the company's foray into the executive car scene, it was developed as a result of the successes of the turbocharged 99 and 900 models. The 9000 remained in production until it was replaced by the Saab 9-5 in late 1997. Saab designed the 9000 as part of the Type Four platform in conjunction with the Italian carmaker Fiat who retailed similar derivative versions as the more basic Fiat Croma, the luxury-themed Lancia Thema and the sports-oriented Alfa Romeo 164. The front of the Saab is radically different from the Italian siblings due to the much-improved crash protection. The Aero offered an exclusive interior and exterior styling, featured a paint-matched body kit and spoiler, eight-way Recaro-designed heated sports seats, sports suspension and 16-inch Super Aero wheels, as well as being generously equipped. At the time of launch, the Aero was the fastest Saab to date. Manufactured in 1996, the 9000 offered was supplied new by Cardiff Saab being first registered in the United Kingdom on 19th September that year. A desirable Aero Turbo model with the 2,290cc straight-four 16v turbocharged engine allied to an automatic transmission, this example is finished in Dark Blue paintwork with a Grey leather interior and a wooden veneer dashboard. Offered having covered some 130,000 miles from new, the 9000 has had a modest six former keepers. Amassing the majority of its mileage during the early stages of its life, the Saab had covered 105,000 miles by 2007 and possesses an excellent service history, during this time being serviced at least annually between 1997 and 2007 with twelve services completed, all by main agents. Most recently serviced in 2022 at 129,000 miles, the 9000 is accompanied by the original book pack with a stamped service book and owner’s manual, as well as a current V5C document. Wearing its mileage very well, the 9000 ran and drove well during the recent photography session and is offered with a 'no advisory' MOT until October 2025.

(Sports Car Market, August 2002) Successor to the European 350SL and American 450SL models, the (R107) 380SL was introduced in March 1980. Utilising the same two-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round coil-sprung independent suspension (wishbone front / semi-trailing arm rear), power assisted recirculating ball steering and four-wheel disc brakes as its predecessors, the newcomer boasted an enlarged 3839cc SOHC V8 engine and improved four-speed automatic transmission. Credited with developing some 204bhp and 232lbft of torque, European specification cars were reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 9.1 seconds and 127mph. The vast majority of the 53,200 380SLs made were to left-hand drive specification. Indeed, the website howmanyleft.com suggests that there are only 843 examples currently registered with the DVLA.Completed to order number 0553750212 during February 1985 for the UK market, chassis WDB1070452A026409 was finished in Diamond Blue Metallic with Blue cloth upholstery and a Dark Blue soft-top roof. Riding on fifteen-hole alloy wheels, its impressive specification included a limited-slip differential, cruise control, rear seats, electric windows and ABS brakes. First registered in Birmingham on May 1st 1985 (or so its ‘B676 EOC’ number plate would imply), the Mercedes-Benz entered the current (fifth) ownership during February 2016. An accompanying continuation service booklet contains a mixture of handwritten and stamped entries which range from April 8th 2011 to January 13th 2023 and cover attention to the automatic gearbox and brakes as well as routine servicing.

Clothed in stylish bodywork by Stanley Riley, the Coventry manufacturer’s pre-war offerings were among the world’s finest small-capacity sporting cars. Right from the start it was obvious that the 9hp Riley engine possessed enormous potential as a competition unit, and at Brooklands J G Parry-Thomas and Reid Railton were the first to demonstrate just how good it was. The success of their racer led to a production version, the Speed Model, which would turn out to be merely the first in a lengthy series of memorable Riley sports cars. 1929 saw the introduction of the MkIV chassis featuring wider front/rear track and much larger brakes than hitherto. Models available were the Monaco saloon, Biarritz saloon, fabric-bodied four-seat tourer and a brace of coachbuilt tourers.First registered on the 1st July 1930, ‘FB 8604’ is believed to have been originally supplied by Western Counties Automobile Co. Ltd. Little is known about the early history of the Riley, however a green log book on file dating to 1968 shows ownership around the Somerset and Wiltshire area. ‘FB 8604’ benefitted from extensive restoration works during the early 1980s, which included replacement body covering, chassis work, and it is understood that the engine was exchanged for another, correct overhauled unit. Thankfully, the work was directed towards conservation, and much of the original green leather interior is preserved, with the rear seats retrimmed. Post restoration, the Vintage Saloon was to become part of a private museum for some thirty years, before being sold to the previous owner in 2012.The vendor acquired the Riley in 2023 and has used the car for several trips between his home in Cornwall and Portsmouth and has commented that it has been ‘very faithful’. The vendor has installed new coolant hoses onto the car and has fitted non-intrusive LED flashing indicators. He has also fitted a brand-new electric wiper motor, further enhancing driveability during poor weather. Now described as being in ‘very good’ condition mechanically and with bodywork being to the same standard, the Riley should prove to be a very fine Vintage-era workhorse to any prospective new owner. With plenty of support from the Riley Register on offer, the Riley 9HP is eligible for all VSCC road events and their Light Car section.

Allied to this was sure-footed handling courtesy of all-around independent coil-sprung suspension, power-assisted steering, and disc brakes. Always more of a 'grand tourer' than an out-and-out sports car, the vast majority of R107s were fitted with automatic transmission. Launched in September 1974, the Eurocentric 280SL was less powerful than its V8 brethren. Powered by a 4520cc SOHC V8 engine, the 450SL model was quoted as developing some 225bhp and 278lbft of torque. A strong 120mph-plus performer, it remained in production until 1980.Manufactured in 1978, the 450SL offered was supplied new to the car friendly climate of South Africa. Finished in Silver metallic paintwork with complementary Black leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, the Mercedes is also accompanied by a body-coloured hard-top and is a factory air-conditioning example. Residing in South Africa for the vast majority of its life, the SL arrived on British shores in early 2024, but not before benefitting from a paint and bodywork refresh and fuel injection system refresh in 2022, as well as further benefitting from a new stainless-steel exhaust.UK-registered since arrival as ‘YNF 836S’, it is offered now with the equivalent of c.124,000 miles on the odometer.

Registration No: S879 JCU Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99ZWS605855 MOT: August 2025Highly desirable UK-supplied ‘C16’ example with manual transmission and the Sports Package (sports seats, sports suspension, LSD)Current ownership since 2004 and 98,000 milesBenefitting from a full engine overhaul and further improvement at 71,000 milesNon-sunroof car and fitted with the aero bodykitAsked to nominate his favourite generation of Porsche 911 during its 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2013, racing driver and journalist Tiff Needell chose the 996 commenting: "This was the model that brought the 911 into the modern world. We finally got rid of the VW pedals and had a chassis that handled in a much more progressive and controllable manner. Not a convert before completely converted after!" Traditionalists may have decried the 996's water-cooled engine and shared Boxster componentry, however, the newcomer's use of a brand-new platform (the 911's first since 1963) meant that it was notably lighter, stiffer, and more aerodynamic than its 993 predecessor. Equipped with four-valve cylinder heads, the 996's 3.4-litre engine developed 296bhp and 258lbft (outputs comparable to those of the 993 Carrera RS's 3.8-litre unit). Allied to either a six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the free-revving flat-six enabled the 2+2-seater to sprint to 60mph in 5 seconds and onto 174mph. More ergonomically laid out and spacious than that of any previous 911, the 996's cabin also boasted a far better HVAC system. Early 3.4-litre 996 cars are increasingly sought after because of their stronger dual-row IMS bearings and mechanical throttles.Supplied new to the United Kingdom on the 1st August 1998, the 911 offered is finished in Arctic Silver paintwork with Blue leather interior upholstery and is a desirable early example with manual transmission and without sunroof. Specified from new with the Sports Package which included sports suspension, electric sports seats, LSD, and 18’’ two-piece sports wheels, the 911 was also specified with option ‘09991’, the ‘Manufacture for Exclusive - Programme’ and is believed to have been fitted with the Aero bodywork from new. Entering current ownership in 2004, the 911 is offered now having covered some 98,000 miles. Benefitting from a full engine overhaul (including re-sleeving by AutoFarm Porsche), one new radiator, refurbished alloys, and the air conditioning matrix replaced at c.71,000 miles by Bowling-Ryan Ltd., the 911 is offered with the Porsche book pack wallet, including the stamped service book, invoice for the Bowling-Ryan overhaul, MOT history, a current MOT until August 2025 and a current V5C document, as well as the original tool kit and warning triangle.

Registration No: DXJ 513C Chassis No: 1E20692 MOT: ExemptLong-term previous ownership from 1988 to 2019Just 1 of 1,583 RHD 4.2 Fixed Head CoupesOffered with a collection of invoices and old MOT certificatesRecently treated to a bare metal repaint and carburettor overhaulTriumphantly launched at the March 1961 Geneva Salon, Jaguar’s ‘150mph’ E-Type was the sports car that (a) put the swinging into the ‘swinging sixties’, (b) no lesser a man than Enzo Ferrari dubbed ‘the most beautiful car in the world’, and (c) transported a galaxy of stars from Brigitte Bardot to George Best, Tony Curtis to Donald Campbell and Roy Orbison to Steve McQueen. Though not designed as a racer, the E-Type was nevertheless a direct descendent of the all-conquering D-Type and thus had motorsport embedded in its DNA. Equipped with all-round independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes, its handling and roadholding proved more than a match for most rivals. Just one month from launch Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori drove the Equipe Endeavour E-Type (‘ECD 400’) to victory at Oulton Park and some fifty-six years later the model remains a force to be reckoned with in historic racing. Updated during August 1964, the Jaguar gained a larger 4235cc XK DOHC straight-six engine and more user-friendly manual gearbox with synchromesh on each of its four forward speeds. Thankfully, the Big Cat’s beautiful styling remained unaltered until the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars during September 1967 by which time just 1,583 RHD E-Type 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes were made. Sporting the Manchester-issued number plate ‘DXJ 513C’, chassis 1E20692 is understood to have been extensively restored whilst belonging to its longest term keeper who retained possession from 1988 – 2019. Accompanying photographs indicate that the Jaguar was comprehensively stripped before being treated to a thorough mechanical and cosmetic renovation. Finished in the iconic combination of British Racing Green with Suede Green leather upholstery, the latter carries sufficient patina to suggest that it could have been factory installed. The cylinder head is stamped with the same number listed on the chassis plate and the inlet and exhaust manifolds both appear to be original factory components. A regular show attendee over the years, the E-Type still carries stickers for the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ and Jaguar Drivers’ Clubs. Fitted with new wire wheels prior to entering the current ownership, the two-seater has been further improved more recently courtesy of a bare metal repaint and carburettor overhaul. Believed but not warranted to have covered some 124,000 miles from new with paperwork on file dating back to the 1980s, the E-Type is also accompanied by a workshop manual, collection of SNG Barratt invoices, assorted old MOTs and numerous other bills. An original, right-hand drive E-Type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe in an appealing colour scheme, Jaguars rarely come more collectible.
