Please read our terms and conditions With V5C, HPI clear AA badge & St Christopher on dash will be retained (shown in photos) View video Information from the owner: General History up to 2024 This car was bought new in November 1933 by my father, then a serving Flying Officer with the RAF who had just returned from a 3 year posting with No 27 Squadron in the North Western Frontier region of India (now the Pakistan/Afghanistan border areas) flying the Westland Wapiti” 2 seater Bomber/Army support aircraft and had saved enough to pay the £200 for his new J2 At the time he was based at RAF Henlow and during the 6 month guarantee period there was a good bit of correspondence between him and the MG company, I have copies of the Abingdon responses from which it seems that he had problems with performance 'maximum speed only 68 mph' and other small matters including vibration. It seems that in April 1934 a new gearbox and remote were fitted plus new front engine bearings etc. These seem to have been dealt with promptly and efficiently. Mileage by then was over 4,000 Sometime in 1934 father and friend took the car on a long tour into Southern Germany and there are several photos taken on that trip including loading (or unloading) onto channel ferry, just guessing Newhaven/Dieppe The next report is it taking part in the Great West Motor Club’s London to Bournemouth trials at the end of March 1935 and I have a photo of it taken at the Bovington Camp section. As father married later in April that year it seems unlikely that he was the entrant so he must have traded it in by then for the 2 Litre Lagonda he next had. The only clue as to its location after 1935 is a repair plate on the radiator header tank by Sercks of Maidstone, Kent and a tax disc issued by London C C expiring end of June 1938. The next phase in the story is that in 1937 or 1938 the car was bought by a young Lincolnshire man, Colin Muncaster. I was able to contact the widow of Colin’s brother, Ray, and she (Phyllis) was able to tell me quite a lot and the rest of the history comes from her and another name she mentioned, Mike Hewson, who lived very near the Muncasters in Horncastle. Mike Hewson’s father was with Colin when he bought the car and they took it to the British Grand Prix held at Donington Park in 1937 or 38. Colin was keen on some competition driving and had the car worked on by the well known MG fettler Harry Lester. The engine had a Laystall crank fitted, cylinder head modified with polished ports enlarged to 1 1/8 inch dia and bigger 1 1/8 inch carburetters fitted. The brakes were converted to hydraulic using components from a Wolseley Hornet with 9 inch drums. Ignition was by 'Scintilla' magneto. Phyllis told me that Colin and Ray were coming home from the pub when they ran off the road near Horncastle and Ray, being thrown forward, lost his front teeth on the dashboard. She asked if the marks were still there on the aluminium panel. I looked and indeed they were and still are! I imagine this was the cause of the bent chassis discovered during restoration. Apparently during the war Colin bought another MG (understood to be a J1 salonette) to use that engine to 'save' the original 'good' engine until war was over, but the car was taxed for a while in 1941 and 1943. Colin was born in 1914 but for some reason wasn’t called up for military service. He had a Garage business and after the war worked for the Council. I have photocopies of ALX 934 taken from late 1930’s on some showing his Hill Climb runs and trophies won, all presumably in the Lincolnshire general area up to about 1952 when by then it was fitted with 16 inch rear wheels. The 19 inch wheels went back on for everyday use until 1955 when it was pushed into an open ended Nissen hut until bought by Harry Dickinson of Bucknall, Lincs, in 1978 where it sat unused for another 27 years until I bought it from Harry’s widow. Before that a chance conversation with another J2 owner at a car show in 2005 led to the discovery that father’s old car still existed and was for sale. I went up to Lincolnshire to see it; very much as I would have expected after so long unused although the engine had been started and run occasionally. It seemed complete and original and there was a large amount of spare parts included. My offer was accepted and we hauled it back to Suffolk a week or so later in July. It soon became apparent that it needed much more than a tidy up and it looked like a total strip down was needed, everything that could wear was worn and the woodworm had consumed most of the plywood trim. The first thing to do was to drain and refill the engine oil, water in radiator, connect to a battery and take a fuel feed from a petrol can. Starter pushed, and engine started and ran strongly, still on its magneto, so this was encouraging. So began over 2 years of work whenever I was able. The most useful tool was the angle grinder to cut off all the rusted up nuts and bolts and with body off I could see what had to be done. The body and chassis went up to David Wall in Wroxham where he repaired and replaced any damaged and rotten timber and re panelled in steel or aluminium where necessary. The chassis was straightened and new stubs welded on the rear chassis cross members to take the spring trunnions. Other steel fittings, plates, brackets, stainless battery box etc. were made up for me by the people at the metal fabricators whom I then worked for. A trip to Sports and Vintage in Shrewsbury supplied me with all the other bits and pieces I thought I needed as well as relining the clutch plate. This was followed by a trip to Jones Springs to recondition the springs. This lot must be collected by 12.30pm on Friday 25th October.

Registration No: PMX 468K Chassis No: LD109750 MOT: March 2025Finished in British Racing Green with a Beige leather interiorComes with matching factory hardtop and fitted tonneau coverBenefitted from a substantial but sympathetic body renovation in 2016/2017A well maintained example as evidenced by the history fileSpecified with the desirable fitment of a manual transmission from newIntroduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard and a soft-top roof. Despite being in production for seven years, during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.First registered on the 24th of February, 1972, this UK-market manual transmission equipped Stag has continuously been well-maintained by its custodians, as evidenced by the accompanying history file. Several invoices dating back to the early 1980s show that no expense has been spared, the previous owner having put the convertible through a full body overhaul and repaint into British Racing Green in 2017, with completion in 2018, which included work to much of the chromework where necessary. Pleasingly, the Triumph retains the original Beige leather interior which is described by the vendor as being in 'very good' condition and the recent fitment of a new hood has improved the car significantly. The current vendor acquired the Stag just after the restoration work in 2018 and immediately set about improving the mechanical condition of the car. He replaced the water pump and hoses, had new brake and clutch master cylinders fitted, replaced the engine mountings and had the front suspension rebuilt and during 2019 the ignition system was treated to an overhaul. Offered with a factory hardtop present, the vendor describes the Stag to be in 'very good condition' all round and purportedly 'it drives very well' with 'a great exhaust sound and no cooling issues detected'. Limited space within the vendor's collection means this '70s icon needs to find a new home. There’s a substantial history file along with the current V5C Registration Document.

Lot 39

Registration No: GX 2487 Chassis No: OH10116 MOT: ExemptA genuine Cozette 'blown' 'low chassis' model supplied new as a fabric-bodied TourerComprehensively restored by well-respected marque aficionado Peter WhenmanAccompanied by a large history file supplied in two full suitcases!Recently subject to magneto, dynamo and starter motor overhauls by Overton EngineeringHaving established its reputation by winning the Moscow - St Petersburg Reliability Trial of 1910 with a 30hp Six, Lagonda concentrated mainly on the production of light cars before reverting to sporting and luxury models in the mid-1920s with the introduction of the 14/60. The latter abandoned the firm's traditional in-unit gearbox in favour of a midships-mounted transmission, but of greater technical interest was the engine. Designed by Arthur Davidson, the 2-Litre Four featured twin camshafts, mounted high in the block, operating inclined valves in hemispherical combustion chambers. Power output of this advanced design was a highly respectable 60bhp. For the 1929 season, a 'low chassis' Speed Model was introduced, featuring revisions to the frame's front end and a higher-compression engine fitted with twin carburettors.The Speed model had resulted from the factory's Le Mans effort of 1928, when the 2-Litre driven by Andre D'Erlanger and Douglas Hawkes had finished 11th overall in the 24-Hour endurance classic. A classic example of racing improving the breed, the 'low chassis' 2-Litre possessed markedly superior handling characteristics courtesy of its lower centre of gravity. In 1930 a supercharged version was introduced, with the 'blower' mounted vertically in front of the engine, which was fitted with a stronger crankshaft, while a 3-Litre rear axle beefed up the transmission. A Powerplus supercharger was specified at first, but most 'blown' 2-Litres came with a Cozette. Thus equipped, a 'low chassis' 2-Litre was capable of up to 90mph.Supplied new to the South East London area on the 18th May 1932, 'GX 2487' was originally specified as a Speed Model with Cozette Supercharger and bodied as a four seat, fabric constructed tourer. Little is known of its early history up to 1953, when a record of ownership started being kept and all owners are traceable from this period until the present day. The rare Lagonda is known to have been exported to Singapore during the 1970s by a member of The Malaysia and Singapore Vintage Car Register with whom it was found in a neglected state (and missing the all important Cozette supercharger) in his possession by the most recent previous owner. After much persuasion, 'GX 2487' was finally bought in 1985 and was to be repatriated to the UK four years later. Once back home in 'Blighty', the Lagonda was entrusted to the late Peter Whenman, the pre-eminent restorer of Vintage Lagondas, for a comprehensive restoration which would be completed in 1994.During the restoration, OH10116 was disassembled to the bare chassis and the body was overhauled with a new ash frame to the original specification and re-covered with new fabric. New cycle wings and a new bonnet were fabricated using traditional methods in aluminium and the interior was entirely reupholstered to original specification in high quality Dark Green hide. Mechanically, the 2-Litre power unit and four-speed gearbox were also given similar treatment, with a new cylinder head supplied by Peter Jones of Wessex Workshops. The all-important supercharger was also reinstated in the form of a replica Cozette unit. A new Black ‘double-duck’ hood and tonneau cover were also supplied and fitted to the original frame with a new set of side screens made especially. Finally, the original Lagonda radiator was treated to a re-core and entirely new 21” wheels were commissioned.After completion, the Lagonda was collected from Hartley Witney and was pressed straight into service, being driven all the way to its new, loving home in the North East of England. Thereafter, ‘GX 2487’ saw its first outing attending the Le Mans 24 Hour race in France in 1995, in the company of other members of the Lagonda Owners Club who were celebrating the 60th anniversary of Lagonda’s Le Mans victory in 1935. The improvements didn’t halt after the restoration, however, and new brake drums from Wessex Workshops were fitted in 1996 (with the original finned brake drums, which were standard on supercharged cars, accompanying the car to sale). Recent works to this 'blown' Vintage Tourer have included a service, magneto overhaul, starter motor overhaul and sump gasket change by Overton engineering in Shoeburyness, Essex, to correct some minor running issues and an oil leak, which were commissioned by the vendor earlier in 2024.'GX 2487' is accompanied by one of the largest history files we have come across (two whole suitcases!) that comprises two voluminous ring binders attesting to the history and restoration work, with a hand-written “costing” document equating to some £70,184 of spend between 1990 and 1994. The files document back to 1954 and also hold correspondence with then Technical Advisor to the Lagonda Club, Ivan Forshaw. The car is today rated by the vendor as ‘excellent’ regarding both its mechanical and cosmetic condition. Now to be offered to the market by the vendor due to needing funds for a business venture, 'GX 2487' could be one of the finest examples of a Speed Model Lagonda in existence today.PLEASE NOTE: After investigation we have established that 'GX 2487' is not fitted with the original engine block, the replacement unit which has been fitted to the car since its restoration is numbered SL 926.

Registration No: OWT 220W Chassis No: GAN6225375G MOT: ExemptUnderstood to be 1 of the last 500 home-market cars made which were all finished in BlackFitted with chrome wire wheelsOffered history file and current V5C documentRecent service including oil, filter, points, plugs, condenser, distributing cap and fluidsThe need to comply with forthcoming US safety legislation saw MG revise the design of its Midget sportscar for the final time in 1974. Entering showrooms that October, the resultant MkIV version (as it was unofficially known) was immediately recognisable courtesy of its impact-absorbing 'rubber bumpers'. Far better integrated than the similar contrivances found on other American market cars (think Mercedes-Benz W107 SL), the weight penalty they incurred was more than offset by the adoption of a new 1500cc engine. Sourced from the Triumph Spitfire together with an all-synchromesh gearbox, it gave the Midget a notable boost in performance. Capable of over 100mph and known for its tidy handling, the MkIV was well received by the press and public alike.Understood to be one of the last 500 home-market made, which were all finished in Black, 'OWT 220W' is matched to a Black interior with Red piped seats and a walnut dashboard. The subject of a recent service which included oil, filter, points, plugs, condenser, distributing cap and fluids, the lMG is fitted with wire wheels and comes with a full tonneau and hood cover. Offered with a history file and current V5C document, the MG is said to drive 'amazingly well'. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: URK 397 Chassis No: BN1223802 MOT: ExemptUnderstood to have been despatched directly to Donald Healey Garages in 1955 before receiving a full conversion to M-specificationBelieved to have been raced in the US and at the Nassau Speed week before being repatriated to the UK as early as 1958Retaining its original M-specification engine plus a BN2 four-speed gearbox with overdriveMille Miglia eligibleDonald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show. It was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and sported a notably sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. It was dubbed the 'Healey Hundred' (a moniker chosen to reflect the car's ability to reach the magic 100mph), and, subject to a suitably encouraging response, Healey planned to build production versions in-house at his factory in Warwick. As things transpired, not only did the Ice Blue prototype more than impress the public, but it also excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, so much that he struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin-Healey 100/4. The rest, as they say, is history.The 100/4's chassis was a departure from the company's previous backbone designs and comprised a pair of three-inch square box-section side members running the length of the car, some 17 inches apart. These were braced by parallel and cruciform cross-members to which the steel floor pressings were attached. After the first 25 cars had been constructed at Healey's own premises in Warwick, the production of the mainstream bodyshells was turned over to Jensen. Once complete, the shells were transported to Longbridge, where the Healeys were assembled alongside the A90.As part of his tireless publicity campaign to promote the newly introduced Austin-Healey 100/4 BN1, Donald Healey entered a team of four pre-production cars for the 1953 Le Mans 24-hour race. Running with standard windscreens, interiors and even bumpers, two of this mildly tweaked quartet survived to finish 12th and 14th overall (an amazing result for such comparatively inexpensive cars in near showroom condition). Eager to capitalise on this success (and also to comply with the event's homologation requirements) Healey persuaded BMC to list a 'Le Mans kit' (twin 1.75 inch SU carburettors, high-lift camshaft, revised distributor advance curve and stronger valve springs etc) in its parts catalogue for 1954. Known officially as part P-280, it was available to fit on new or old models alike, and by dealers or private individuals. A handful of BN1 100s were to be delivered from Longbridge directly to the Donald Healey Motor Co. to be fitted with the 'Le Mans Modification Kit' when new; but upon launch of the BN2 it was to be adopted by BMC themselves for the 100M version and subsequently introduced at the 1955 London Motor Show. The upgrade has remained a popular modification package ever since and continues to be reproduced today.According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, chassis BN1/223802 was built on 8th February 1955 in right-hand drive configuration for the Australian market. It is said to have all the hallmarks of a car that was uprated to ‘Le Mans’ specification at Donald Healey’s Warwick factory rather than being modified (either in period or more modern times) by a dealer or private individual. The requisite ‘telltales’ apparently being: a bend in the shroud bracket to clear the cool air box, aluminium louvred bonnet (crafted by Jensen cars) and hand etched numbering to the uprated SU carburettors etc. Seemingly shipped to the Bahamas when new (rather than Sydney), the 100 is further understood to have participated in that year’s Nassau Speed Week. Sadly, there are no reliable records to confirm its participation. The Big Healey is understood to have had a damaged rear end and have been repainted British Racing Green over Yellow when it was found by Dr Pryor whilst holidaying in the Bahamas during 1957. The vendor believes there is a chance that BN1/223802 was diverted to Nassau at the behest of Sir Sydney and Lady Greta Oakes who were prominent members of the Caribbean racing scene at the time and friends with Donald Healey.Repatriated by Dr Pryor in 1958 and issued with the Croydon registration number ‘URK 397’, he took the two-seater off the road following an accident in which his daughter was injured but retained possession until 1971. First owned by the vendor from 1980-1985 during which time he had it restored and repainted in its original Ice Blue over Old English White colours, the 100 later passed to Tony Elshof who previously served as the Austin-Healey Club’s Competitions Secretary and amassed a collection of significant examples of the marque. Changing hands several times thereafter, including a sojourn in France, ‘URK 397’ was reacquired by the seller during 2018. Entrusted to Rose’s Garage and Bushell’s Vehicle Restorations for servicing and maintenance since then, the Big Healey is deemed to be in ‘very good overall’ mechanical condition. Running and driving well during our recent photography session, the improved BN2 four-speed manual gearbox and gearlever-operated overdrive were both a boon. Although no longer concours, the two-seater remains presentable. Potentially eligible for such prestigious events as the Mille Miglia Storica, ‘URK 397’ is offered for sale with extensive history file, spare wheel, hood, tonneau cover and spare parts (the original, very rare distributor vacuum unit and the original cylinder head). It will also be accompanied by the V5C Registration Document.i For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.Despatched new on the 30th June 1971, ‘GPH 902K’ was supplied via Wadham Stringer Limited of Guildford. Specified from new with overdrive, a heater, a tonneau cover, and seatbelts, the MG was provided extensive restoration works by Maidstone Sports Cars in 2007. The work comprised of fitting an unleaded Ivor Seale balanced engine with a new water pump and oil cooler; an overhauled gearbox and overdrive unit; repainting; new chrome wire wheels; renewed front wheel hubs and new rear hubs; electronic ignition; and further enhancements, with the invoices on file from Maidstone Sports Cars (for 2007) surpassing £7,500 alone.The improvements have not stopped there however, with ‘GPH 902K’ benefitting from a new mohair hood in 2015 (supplied by MGOC Spares), further repainting by Sussex Coachworks also in 2015 (images on file), new door cards and fittings in 2017 and overhauled rear wheel hubs in 2019. Having now covered some 14,000 miles since the restoration works in 2007, the Roadster boasts a large history file containing BMIHT Heritage Certificate, a vast collection of invoices back to the 1990s, numerous past MOTs, images of the recent paintwork and the V5C. Benefitting from a recent full service, fluid change and a new hood cover, the vendor informs that the B drives ‘very well’ and is ready to be used and enjoyed by a new owner!

Registration No: UW 2726 Chassis No: GX026 MOT: ExemptMatching chassis and engine numbersDisplayed at the 1929 Olympia Motor Show and then supplied new to Alfred Sainsbury of the famous grocery chainRecently retrimmed interior, new hood and tonneau cover by David Beswick coach trimmingBought by the previous owner in 1994 as a restored rolling chassis with the coachwork includedRe-bodied as a four-seater Tourer reputedly using a Tony Robinson bodyRestoration completed in 1997 and then used on many continental tours soon after A logical progression from Rolls-Royce's first ‘owner driver' model the 20hp, the 20/25hp was introduced in 1929. Near identical to its forebear, at least to begin with, the newcomer enjoyed a greater turn of speed thanks to an enlarged 3669cc OHV straight-six engine. Fed by a single Rolls-Royce carburettor and carrying both magneto and coil ignition, the super-smooth powerplant was mounted in unit with a four-speed manual gearbox (the latter operated via a traditional right-hand change). Capable of supporting a wide variety of coachwork, the 20/25hp's substantial ladder frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and a mechanical servo. Progressively developed, the Rolls-Royce 20/25hp remained in production until 1936 by which time some 3,827 are thought to have been sold.Chassis ‘GXO26’ was displayed at the 1929 Olympia Motor Show and was just the 15th example of the 20/25 sold to the public. Supplied new to Mr. Alfred Sainsbury of Queen Anne’s Mansions, W.1, London, an important member of the famous grocery chain (and was made a director of Sainsbury's when the company became a PLC), it began life as a H.J. Mulliner-bodied Weymann Saloon, the original coachwork had long since fallen into disrepair by the time the previous owner acquired the Rolls-Royce in 1994. In fact, at that time the 20/25 existed as a well restored rolling chassis with a handsome, but yet to be fitted, four-seater Tourer body which is thought to have been crafted by the esteemed coachbuilder Tony Robinson. The restoration project was completed by 1997, with the former keeper subsequently enjoying ‘UW 2726’ on a number of Continental Tours.As part of the restoration works, the interior was re-upholstered and a new hood and tonneau cover made by David Beswick Coach Trimming costing some £7,000 in trimming alone. Boasting a dynamo starter and full flow oil filter, the Rolls-Royce is said to possess ‘very good oil pressure’, not to mention ‘a fully functional central chassis lubrication system’. Having had its brakes relined c.5,000 miles ago, the 20/25 was offered through H&H after twenty-seven years of ownership and sold into the current late ownership for £92,250 in 2021.

Registration No: UIL 430 Chassis No: ZFFEZ59C000164409 MOT: June 2025Stunning right-hand drive F430 Spider F1Finished in Nero Daytona complemented to a Sabbia leather interiorBelieved to be 1 of the last 10 examples made37,471 miles from new, owner's wallet, handbook and service bookFactory options include carbon ceramic discs and carbon interior trimUnderstood to have been previously owned by Tony Iommi from Black SabbathA 'superbly' maintained example, extensive service history and no-expense spared in current ownershipHere's a milestone car. The F430 was the first no-buts Ferrari, the first Maranello product for which no excuses needed to be made. It was regarded by most critics as, if not perfect, as close to theoretical Ferrari road-car perfection as a Ferrari had ever been' (John Simister, EVO magazine, March 12th 2013).Unveiled at the Geneva Salon in March 2005, the F430 Spider was a modest 70kg heavier than its Berlinetta sibling. However, the structural strengthening this weight gain allowed meant that the newcomer was a dynamic match for its fixed roof stablemate under most circumstances (Richard Bremner commenting, in Autocar magazine, that he was only aware of any loss of rigidity perhaps one percent of the time). Styled by Pininfarina under the guidance of Frank Stephenson, the F430 Spider featured a reinforced windscreen and twin steel rollover hoops and could retract its fabric roof under an aluminium 'double bubble' tonneau cover in twenty seconds. The elliptical air intakes which dominated its nose recalled those of the Ferrari 156 'shark nose' F1 car, while its tail treatment echoed that of the marque's revered Enzo hypercar.Derived from that of its F360 predecessor, the two-seater's aluminium chassis boasted improved torsional stiffness and played host to all-round independent suspension, four-wheel vented disc brakes (complete with ABS) and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Displacing 4308cc, its 'quad cam', 32-valve V8 was quoted as developing 483bhp and 343lbft of torque. Allied to either manual or F1-style 'paddle shift' transmission (both six-speed), it enabled the F430 Spider to sprint from 0-60mph in 4.1 seconds and onto over 193mph.Supplied new by Lancaster Ferrari, Sevenoaks, this Spider with the F1 gearbox (paddle shift or auto) is a 2009 model and is understood to be one of the last batch of 10 to be manufactured. Presenting in Nero Daytona with ‘Scuderia Ferrari’ shields, Nero Black soft-top and complementing Porsche ‘Aurum’ coloured wheels and Inlet Manifold. The Nero Daytona bodywork has seen ceramic coating, along with paint protection film, to keep the sumptuous Black hue looking its best. A nice touch is the ‘F430’ relevant number plate accompanying the sale.The Nero Daytona paintwork would certainly have suited the F430’s previous owner, member of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi who has often been described as one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time.The 430’s interior wears Sabbia (Sand) Roll-bar upholstery, windscreen surround and roll-over hoops. With complementing Nero (Black) carpets, juxtaposed with a carbon steering wheel and interior inlays, Carbon dashboard inserts, heated leather seats, RadioNav system with Bluetooth connectivity, Navtrak anti-theft system and front and rear parking sensors. The 430 has the benefit of a carbon-ceramic brake system, a £20,000 option when new. The Ferrari Yellow-shield colours are carried over to the brake calipers and the Yellow instrument panel lights.With Ferrari main dealer service history throughout, for the last 3 years the car has been maintained at JCT600 Ferrari Leeds, since 2021, by Danny Dawson who has won Ferrari World’s Best Technician for the last 2 years running, with the last service at 34,736 miles in May 2024. Expenditure has included the purchase of a plenum and importantly new exhaust manifolds in 2021. There are JCT600 print-outs, dated 16th May 2024 and at 34,534 miles, that record the level of wear of both the clutch and the discs, with both results summarised as ‘OK’.Driven on a nine-country European tour quite recently, the Spider is now offered to a new custodian. Possessing a full set of books in its Ferrari leather folder, there is also a collection of invoices that accompany the owner’s wallet with the handbook, fully stamped service book and the V5C Registration Document. Additionally, there are the 2 Ferrari keys and the full tool-kit. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: AYE 979 Chassis No: Z 10464 MOT: ExemptSupplied new to Harris and Russell Ltd of Tottenham Court Road, LondonIn current ownership since 2007 and continually improved throughout the vendor's ownershipA comparably late 3-Litre with the stronger ‘ZM’ type chassisRe-bodied in the late-1980s/early-1990s in the style of Vanden Plas tourerThe Lagonda 3 Litre began production in late 1929 as successor to the 2 Litre. In fact, the 2 Litre continued to be made in various guises until 1933, while the 3 Litre was phased out the following year. The early 3 Litres utilised a Z-Type 10ft 9in wheelbase chassis which was an extended and modified version of that employed by the four-cylinder 2 Litre. Elongated from the scuttle forwards, the revised frame could thus accommodate the newcomer's six-cylinder engine. The 'heavy pattern' Z-Type gearbox and ENV rear axle were used providing a final drive ratio of 4.1:1. The 3 Litre model's initial bore and stroke stood at 72mm x 120mm providing 2931cc capacity. These earlier engines are instantly identified by six camshaft tunnel covers on the side of the block. On later cars this capacity was increased to 3181cc with a bore of 75mm - the larger engine is recognised by corresponding 3 plate camshaft tunnel covers and a deeper rocker cover to accommodate longer valve stems. Both engines boasted a robust seven-bearing crankshaft and a fully flooded roller cam follower and valve actuation design. This provided a quiet and smooth operation with a longer operating life than was commonly achieved amongst its peers.A true thoroughbred, the 3 Litre attracted a select clientele and enjoyed sundry competition success (most notably Lord de Clifford's fine performances aboard a Works 3-Litre on the 1931 Monte Carlo and 1932 RAC rallies). Testing a Lagonda 3-Litre in 1929, The Motor reckoned it was ‘difficult to imagine a car nearer an ideal than one which combines the full performance of a speed model with the top gear performance of the best modern touring car.’ The 3-litre was, indeed, exceptionally flexible, being able to accelerate from 5mph to its maximum of around 80mph in top gear. Motor Sport summed up the 3-Litre Lagonda as ‘a very pleasant car of very high quality and possessing that indefinable but very definite character which stamps the thoroughbred in every walk of life’ – sentiments with which we can only concur.Chassis number ‘10464’ was supplied new to Harris and Russell Ltd of Tottenham Court Road, London being first registered on the 16th of October 1933, initially clothed in Pillarless Saloon coachwork. Retained by them until 1942, the later wartime history is unknown, before being acquired by eccentric car collector Henry Elland of Waddens Brook Estate. Upon the passing of Mr. Elland in 1984, a large auction of the collection was held, through which the Lagonda was purchased by Robert Goodchild of Chapel-on-le-Frith. However, by this stage, the coachwork was beyond renovation, and it is believed that Mr Goodchild fitted a Tourer coachwork by Mulliner. Sold at a H&H auction in Buxton in 1996, the 3-Litre passed through a couple of other owners and was provided with another Vanden Plas style Tourer body, before being exported to Belgium.Repatriated by the current owner in 2007, the vendor is a long-term Lagonda Club and Aston Martin Owners Club member, and ‘10464’ has been well-used throughout the vendor’s custodianship, on multiple clubs runs and tours, including to Le Mans and of the Yorkshire Dales. Continuously improved during the time with the vendor, with notable works comprising new hood, sidescreens (never used), hood bag and tonneau cover costing c.£5,750 in 2008; engine overhaul and repainting to the cost of c.£11,800 in 2014; further engine improvements in 2017 costing c.£2,200; refurbished water pump £550 and a re-cored radiator £1,700 in 2019; and improvements to the Borg & Beck clutch in 2023 costing some £880, as well as multiple services. Starting readily and both running and driving well during the recent photography session, the Lagonda is accompanied by a history file comprising Lagonda Club records, a collection of invoices, and a current V5C document.

Registration No: YCD 244 Chassis No: 0420680BS MOT: ExemptA well-known and well regarded Kougar Jaguar built for fast road, sprints and hillclimbsBuild No.42 with special bodywork including handmade aluminium nose cone and bonnet, and polished cycle wings, evoking the golden age of the 1950s ‘rocket’ racersPreviously owned by Simon Taylor, former head of Haymarket and Editor for Classic and Sports Car magazineImpressive specification including 3.8-litre Jaguar engine with triple Dellorto carburettorsIn the late 1970s, and Englishman named Rick Stevens set out to build a car of his own based on the legendary British sports cars of the early post-war era, such as Frazer Nash, Allard and H.R.G. These were, after all, the cars of his childhood but they were scarce, sometimes fragile, and likely more than he could afford. So, he decided to build his own version of the classic road-racer but using more modern components. Stevens paired up with the legendary engineers Dick Crosthwaite and John Gardiner (of the now iconic firm Crosthwaite & Gardiner) to design and build his dream sports car. The 1970s was the age of the kit car, with any variety of cheap fiberglass likeness being built to sit atop a VW or some other similarly ubiquitous chassis, usually with extremely dubious results. There were dozens of manufacturers in the game offering conversions and full bodies to build any type of machine imaginable.Thankfully, Mr. Stevens opted to take a more traditional, British cottage-industry approach. With the help of his engineering consultants, he designed a tubular chassis which accepted the four-wheel independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and running gear from Jaguars. The Kougar, as it would become known, was immediately set apart from the sea of cheap kits thanks to its high-quality construction and sophisticated Jaguar running gear. In terms of styling, the body, cycle arches and distinctive radiator grille were inspired by the Frazer Nash LeMans Replica of 1950, but given a more curvaceous look on the low-slung chassis. The Kougar had a cut-down cockpit with minimal weather protection and a business-like dash that featured a full array of Jaguar instrumentation. While some cars were offered in kit form, most were constructed at the works as this car was designed from the ground up for serial production and finished to a high standard. Today, they are classics in their own right, and a handful of lucky enthusiasts have been able to experience the thrill the Kougar Jaguar Sports can deliver.Kougar build Number 42, is a well-known example that was built professionally for fast road sprints, and hillclimbs, and first registered in January 1982. Constructed by renowned special builder Robin Beech, he modified the design to feature a handmade aluminium nose cone and bonnet. Also featuring a Jaguar grille and polished cycle wings, it evokes the golden age 1950s ‘rocket’ racers. Mechanically re-engineering the suspension with larger front wishbones, rose joints, and a widened rear track, ‘YCD 244’ utilises a 3.8-litre Jaguar engine with triple Dellorto carburettors, Lynx Engineering alloy inlet manifold and cold air box, allied to a five-speed Getrag manual transmission and Jaguar rear axle with LSD. Adjustable Spax suspension provides the dampening to the wire wheels with Avon tyres. An MSA-Certified roll-bar, bespoke side-exit circuit exhaust, and fire extinguisher are all fitted for competition use.The cabin features Black quilted seats with Red carpets and currently has 'comfort' road seatbelts, but four-point harnesses are included for competition. Period instruments and a wire-spoked Bluemels Brooklands steering wheel complete the interior, along with Brooklands aero screens. Robin Beech competed in the Kougar widely including on Brighton Speed Trials, before ‘YCD 244’ was sold in 1988 to eminent motoring author, publisher, and commentator Simon Taylor, former head of Haymarket and Editor for Classic and Sportscar Magazine. Regularly featuring in the magazine, he was enthusiastic about the Kougar and retained it for thirteen years. Two subsequent owners of over ten years ensued with the Kougar extensively campaigning in the JDC 'Four Hills and Sprint Championship' at circuits such Harewood, Shelsley, Anglesey, and Prescott. This exceptional Kougar started readily and ran well during our recent photography session and is ready to be enjoyed again, be that on the road or circuit. Supplied with a full tonneau cover, a driver-only chrome roll-hoop, headrest for the MSA roll-bar, and wraparound windscreen, the Kougar also has a history file that includes V5C.

Registration No: ROO 707D Chassis No: GHN389629 MOT: September 2025Subject to a restoration and engine overhaul in the late 1980sOffered with a BMIHT Certificate, a collection of invoices and the current V5C documentStainless steel exhaust system and full tonneau coverFinished in Red complemented with a Black interior and hoodThe MGA had really been the first 'BMC corporate' MG, and the MGB which replaced it was intended to be even more popular. Although the engineering of the new car was evolutionary - the B-Series engine, transmission, rear axle and independent front suspension were all improved versions of those used in the previous MGA. The first incarnation of the MGB built from 1962 to April 1965 featured distinctive pull-type door handles and a 95bhp/1798cc engine with three-main-bearing crankshaft and while overdrive was an optional extra, the model's top speed was more than 100mph. Today, it enjoys a very strong following and with its GT sister has spawned a dedicated support industry. For many, the early chrome-bumper MGB roadster is the epitome of the classic British sports car. When the MGB replaced the MGA 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 MGA. 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.Offered here is a 1966-manufactured, right-hand drive B Roadster that was the subject of a restoration in 1989, when the original engine also benefitted from an overhaul. Some time since, the carburettors were renewed and a stainless-steel exhaust fitted. With the iconic Red MG B paintwork presenting well, the open bodywork is said to be still good . The Black interior is reported to be in a good condition, as is the Black soft-top and tonneau, whilst mechanically, the clutch, engine and gearbox (with overdrive) have been refreshed by the vendor. Also seeing some improvement through remedial work is the electrical system. Accompanied by receipts from previous ownership, relating to the older restoration, this B Roadster also benefits from a very recent MOT, a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Dating Certificate and a current V5C.

Registration - 6648 TRChassis No. - TS80982-LM.O.T. - September 2025Odometer - 90,130Beautifully presented in pale Powder Blue, this example of Triumph’s TR3A has a fascinating heritage. ’6648 TR’ is powered by Triumph’s 2.2-litre four cylinder, matched to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, and is now a right-hand drive model, despite having originally been a US export and built in left-hand drive. Fitted with a beige canvas roof over Midnight blue cabin, the seats are upholstered in dark blue leather with piping that matches the weather protection gear. The convertible set-up includes a roof frame, plus adaptations for tonneau cover configurations.‘6648 TR’ has undergone a full nut & bolt restoration and professionally converted to right-hand drive, taking two years from 2014. The Triumph has been built back up from scratch, with new consumables such as hoses and pipes, while efforts have been made to restore parts that can be restored. Rust-proofing has been boosted by the addition of a stainless steel sports exhaust and aluminium fuel tank, and when the engine was worked on, the cylinder head was changed to allow for unleaded fuel. The TR3A has been entered into concours events, and proved highly successful, winning the TR International in 2016, such is the quality of the work carried out – it was awarded the Best Paint prize just last year, so continues to impress. Work totals around £46,000, with invoices and receipts included in a large folder of work, as well as heritage certificate. Unsurprisingly, the vendor considers this TR3A as in ‘excellent’ quality throughout, including powertrain, bodywork, and interior. Offered with an indicated 90,130 miles, this is not guaranteed, particularly because of the time spent abroad, but is reckoned genuine. ‘6648 TR’ has been serviced every year, and comes with 12-months MOT.Pristine example of Triumph’s TR3AFull nut & bolt restoration completedConcours-ready modelTriumph introduced the TR3 roadster in 1955, replacing the TR2, as an evolution of that earlier model. Offered with revised styling and improved performance, the model performed well with its 1,991cc engine until the TR3 was revised just two years later, with what is now known as the TR3A. A new full-width front grille is the most obvious change to the model, but it came with other elements such as a full tool-kit and lockable boot. In 1959, further changes were made, this time with the option of a 2,138cc straight four unit. A TR3B was the unofficial moniker for the run-out model, which lasted a year in 1962, before being replaced by the TR4.

Registration - MAZ 6522Chassis No. - NA6CE133295M.O.T. - March 2025Odometer - 155,262 KMs (96,475 Miles)An increasingly sought-after model, this example of Mazda’s first-generation MX-5 is brilliantly presented in British Racing Green. Fitted with Mazda’s 1.6-litre naturally aspirated straight four engine and five-speed manual gearbox, ‘MAZ 6522’ has been superbly specified. The deep green bodywork and black folding canvas roof are complemented by the optional tan leather interior - a classic combination. Wearing Japanese domestic market (JDM) ‘Eunos Roadster’ badges, this Mark I MX-5 has all the key features that have helped make this one of the best-selling roadsters ever. The pop-up headlights, seven-spoke alloys, and driver-focused interior have been improved further by the addition of a Nardi Verde three-spoke steering wheel, and original V-spec equipment, including carpets.Enthusiast owned and carefully looked after, ‘MAZ 6522’ is offered with cherished registration, and has been fitted with a limited slip differential, as well as Thatcham Category 2 immobiliser. Maintained by RRG Macclesfield for around 17 years, this MX-5 Mk I passed its MOT earlier this year with no advisories, and comes with original spare wheel and jack. It has always been stored in a garage when not in use, and covered with a tonneau cover for added protection. The seller considers the bodywork, paint, and interior as in ‘good’ condition, and the engine, transmission, and electrics as ‘excellent’, and ‘MAZ 6522’ comes with an indicated 155,262 km (around 96,400 miles) on the clock.Cherished example of Mazda’s classic roadsterHighly desirable colour and interior combinationJDM-specification MX-5 Mark IInspired by post-war British roadsters - at a time when practically nobody else was making them - Mazda launched its MX-5 in 1989, to instant acclaim. Named the Eunos Roadster in Japan and Miata in the US, the MX-5 - by whichever name it os known - has gone on to become one of the most influential cars in history, restarting the compact, open-top sportswear market almost singlehandedly. The NA/Mark I/first-generation model stuck with the simple front engine, rear wheel drive, two-seater convertible configuration, though a hard-top was offered as an optional extra. In the UK, it was powered by a 1.8-litre engine, but other parts of the world also had a 1.6-litre motor, or 2.0-litre engine. An automatic was offered in certain markets, but the MX-5 is a car that deserves to be driven and as such, it is the five-speed manuals that are most popular. The first-generation model was produced until 1997, when it was replaced by the Mark II (NB) model.

Registration - J934 KRHChassis No. - WP0ZZZ94ZMN430305M.O.T. - June 2025Odometer - 96,000This elegant Porsche 944 Cabriolet is described by the vendor as having just one former keeper; although it says two on the logbook, the previous keeper got married, so changed the name on the logbook. This is one of many such details that show what a well cared-for example this is – with the vendor describing it as being in ‘excellent’ condition throughout. Naturally, it comes with a full service history, and the vendor says it has been well looked after and serviced every 12,000 miles. The history shows it was parked up between 2004 and 2011, when it was given a fresh MOT, then again until 2018, when it had another MOT – and then parked up once again until 2024. The vendor subsequently took it for a major service and recommissioning, where the technicians “went through everything, stripped the brakes – and had nothing to report”. A 3.0-litre ‘S2’ 944 Cabriolet, ‘J934KRH’ has a fully stamped service history that confirms the odometer reading of 96,000 miles, and includes the original books and owner’s manual – featuring a sticker from supplying dealer JCT600 of Yorkshire, with the car also coming with unique JCT600 branded door sill plates! There is also a large collection of receipts and invoices. Inside, the immaculate interior has a modern JVC stereo combined with a rare period Blaupunkt graphic equaliser, while the Porsche overmats and tonneau cover are also nice features. This 944 Cabriolet has two keys and two Porsche-supplied immobiliser controllers, along with the original spare wheel, jack and tool kit (premium Bridgestone tyres are fitted to the well-presented alloy wheels as well). The vendor adds the blue leather interior has been treated, while the sparking metallic paintwork has been polished and ceramic coated to give it a gleaming appearance. The Porsche 944 S2 was introduced in 1989 as a development of the original 1982 model – itself a wide-body evolution of the 1970s Porsche 924. The first 944 Cabriolet was originally shown in 1985, but didn’t go into production until 1989, launched as an S2 model with the revised Turbo-look front end. Production uniquely saw cars taken off the line from Porsche’s Neckarsulm factory, sent to specialist ASC in Germany for strengthening, then sent back to Neckarsulm for further production – before being sent back to ASC again for the convertible roof to be installed. In summary:· Elegant Porsche 944 Cabriolet in ‘excellent’ condition throughout· Full service history· Recent recommissioning

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

1950 MG TD                                              Registration Number: NHN 370      Chassis Number: TD 1176 Recorded Mileage: 61,100 miles - In current ownership since 1969 - Fitted with 1350cc engine The MG TD ‘Midget’ was introduced in January 1950 to replace the by then legendary TC model, fitted with a 1256cc engine as standard. The new TD combined the TC’s drivetrain, a modified hypoid-geared rear axle, the MG Y-Type chassis, a familiar T-Type style body and independent suspension using coil springs from the MG Y-Type Saloon. Also new; the rack and pinion steering, smaller 15-inch disc type road wheels, a left hand drive option and standard equipment bumpers with overriders. The car was five inches wider with a track of 50 inches. In 1950, the TD Mk. II was introduced alongside the standard car, featuring a more highly tuned engine with 8.0:1 compression ratio giving 57bhp at 5500rpm. The TD featured twin fuel pumps, revised dampers, and a higher rear-axle ratio. Nearly 30,000 MG TD’s were produced, including some 1,700 Mk. II models. When the series ended in 1953, all but 1,656 were exported with 23,488 of them to the United States. An example tested by ‘The Motor’ magazine in 1952 had a top speed of 77mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 18.2 seconds. According to factory records this original RHD example was built on 3rd April 1950, to be registered to its first owner, a Mr. Scott of Darlington, under a week later. Mr. Scott was obviously keen to get his hands on his new sports car! “Elspeth” was acquired by our vendor back in 1969, who proceeded to set about a sympathetic restoration of the car, which included attention to the ash frame. Originally finished in black, the TD is now presented in red with a tan leather interior. The engine was previously rebuilt by marque experts Xpag Engineering, bored and stroked to now 1350cc, and usefully now also accepts unleaded fuel. We understand the car is “on the button” and drives exceptionally well for its age. The convertible roof has been replaced, as have the tonneau and side screens. Offered with original 1950 buff log book, current V5, a large number of invoices, older MoT certificates, also correspondence and photographs documenting works carried out, what a great ticket to shows, club meets and tours, or simply a charming way to get around in the summer months.

1957 AC Ace-Bristol                                   Registration Number: 713 YUU Chassis Number: BEX 302 Engine Number: 100B24232 (to D2 specification) Recorded Mileage: TBA - Original, sympathetically restored example Returning to production after the Second World War, by the early 50s AC Cars of Thames Ditton sought a replacement for the now aging 2-Litre range of cars. A product of renowned race car designer and constructor John Tojeiro, AC Cars acquired Tojeiro’s sleek lightweight open two-seater design, developed the car’s styling, fitted a 2-litre, six-cylinder AC engine and christened the new model the “Ace”. With a light, ladder-type tubular frame, all independent transverse leaf spring suspension, and an open two-seater alloy body reminiscent of Ferrari’s 166 MM Barchetta, the Ace debuted to great acclaim at the 1953 Earls Court motor show. Featuring all-round independent suspension (a British first), the Ace was equally adept on road and track, with superb handling and minimal body roll, ultimately setting the cornerstones for the giant-killing Shelby Cobras of the 1960s. By the mid-1950s the pre-war AC inline-six was showing its age, and so in 1956 made way for a more powerful and refined Bristol straight-six (which itself was a development of the pre-war BMW 328 unit). With triple carburetors and hemispherical combustion chambers, the 120 bhp engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission propelled the Ace to 116 mph. Ace-Bristols won three successive SCCA E-Production Championships in the United States between 1957 and 1959, the D-Production Championship in 1960 and C-Production Championship in 1961. In Europe, the Ace-Bristol achieved a 2nd-in-class finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1957 and 1958, and both class victory and 7th overall in 1959. BEX 302 BEX 302, an AC Ace-Bristol, rolled out of the Thames Ditton works on 17th June 1957, bound for AC Imports of Arlington Virginia. Finished in Bright Blue Metalline, the Ace was first registered to pharmacist Mr. W.G. Skelton, Springfield Avenue, Champaign, Illinois on 10th July 1957. The car later passed to Mr. Tom W Miller of Amarillo in Texas, who we understand raced the car in period. Following failure of the cylinder head Miller pushed the Ace into his barn and stored it for a number of years before advertising the car for sale in a local car sales paper. Jim Ryan, a former professional Manchester United and Luton Town footballer of the 1960s, later relocated to the USA to play first for Dallas Tornado and subsequently Wichita Wings. A lifetime classic car enthusiast, in March 1979 Jim saw an advert in the local Texas car paper and traveled to Amarillo to view the Ace. The cylinder head (which had been cracked) had been removed and was sitting in the car. The two men came to an agreement on price, and Jim trailered the car back to his home in Wichita. Jim later met Alf Francis, Stirling Moss’ former mechanic, who offered to help with the cylinder head repair, driving with Alf to Tulsa in a vintage Ferrari to get the head repaired, now it was just a matter of getting the rest of the car into shape. However, intending to go back to the UK, Jim bit the bullet and advertised the Ace for sale. A somewhat shady prospective buyer viewed the car in Jim’s absence, couldn’t buy the car for his low ball offer, and in a fit of pique made off with its cylinder head! Now back in the UK Jim found a replacement head, but by this time the block had become frost damaged and sadly was beyond repair.  Jim sourced a replacement engine, commissioned Mike Robinson Engineering in Cheshire to rebuild the unit to correct D2 specification, set up the carburettors and timing, and finally after decades, got the engine running. The Ace’s original coachwork was stripped to bare metal and refinished to its original colour. At the same time the brakes were overhauled and a number of other smaller jobs undertaken, such as fitting a new stainless steel exhaust and fuel tank. The carpets were renewed some years ago, the seats though are believed to be original and in nicely preserved order.  In 2021 Jim sold the Ace to our vendor, a lifelong vintage and early post-war sports car enthusiast with much experience of the AC and Bristol marques. In current ownership the car has been serviced with all fluids replaced, the radiator flushed and new plugs fitted. BEX 302 has covered under 5,000 miles without issue since being returned to the road. The Ace will come complete with soft top roof, full tonneau cover, also side screens. Unusually, the chassis of BEX 302 is completely original, with no repairs evident, and wearing all original bodywork. Offered with a USA State Farm legal document, State of Kansas license certificate (1979), end of year certificate, older insurance certificate, UK V5C and AC Bristol Authentication Letter, this genuine low ownership example, never completely restored but rather mechanically and cosmetically refurbished, will no doubt prove to be a tempting prospect for any serious enthusiast.

Following the demise of the Austin-Healey 3000, Kjell Qvale, the largest Austin Healey dealer in the US, was keen to find a replacement sports car to market in America. As a major shareholder in Jensen Motors, who had built the bodies of the Austin-Healeys, Qvale was instrumental in opening discussions with Donald Healey regarding collaboration with Jensen Motors, for his next project. Healey was appointed Chairman of Jensen Motors in 1970 and work started on the design of what was to be the last car to bear the famous Healey name. The Jensen-Healey was designed as a joint venture by Donald Healey, his son Geoffrey, and Jensen Motors. It was the hope that Healey would contribute the sense of style that made the Austin-Healey so successful. Colin Chapman of Lotus offered to help and Jensen accepted his company’s new 1973 cc Lotus 907 engine, a two litre, DOHC, 16 valve all-alloy powerplant. This multi-valve engine was the first to be mass produced on an assembly line and produced a power output of approximately 144bhp, sufficient for a top speed of 119 mph and acceleration from 0-60mph in 8.1 seconds. Disc brakes were fitted at the front while drums sufficed for the rear. Finished in white with a black interior this attractive Jensen Healey has had significant recent expenditure totalling nearly £5000 which included new battery, electronic ignition and high torque starter motor. These rare cars offer an interesting alternative to the more common British sports cars and with the Lotus twin cam engine will show a clean pair of heels to most of them! With an MoT until May 2025, a host of invoices and original handbook, this lovely sportscar looks terrific value and is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner and comes with both hood and full length tonneau cover.
