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.

Registration No: M5 OTD Chassis No: WBSDE92000BJ10581 MOT: May 20251 of just 2,595 E39 RHD European examples manufacturedModest mileage of under 92,000 miles from newOriginally a BMW dealer demonstrator car and in current ownership since 2009Offered with a history file including the stamped service bookEven by the superlative standards of the BMW M-cars that began with the M1 in 1978, the E39 M5 made from 1998 to 2003 is generally regarded as a standout model. Powered by a rev-hungry 4941cc S62 V8 engine (rated at 394bhp / 369lbft), the super Saloon was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 155mph (limited). Right-hand drive European-specification production amounted to just 2,595 cars.Chassis number ‘BJ10581’ was supplied new by the BMW GB Distribution Centre, being first registered on the 12th January to the BMW Demonstration Fleet as a dealer demonstrator. Finished from the factory in Anthracite paintwork with attractive Caramel Nappa Heritage leather interior upholstery and rare optional Bruyere Club wood trim, the M5 was very well specified from the factory, with the optional extras including electric rear windscreen blind; rear window blinds; park distance control; electric sunroof; auto-dim interior and exterior mirror; electric and heated front seats with lumbar support; xenon headlamps; and air conditioning, amongst numerous other options. Supplied to its first private owner in May 2000, the M5 has now had five private owners and has covered a modest under 92,000 miles from new.Residing in the custodianship of the vendor since 2009 and living in a carpeted garage during this time, the BMW has needed for very little, receiving wheel refurbishment and tyres, as well as a couple of oil and filter services across the mere 12,000 miles covered in fifteen years. Supplied with the apt cherished ‘M5’ registration number, the E39 is also accompanied by a history file that contains a collection of previous MOTs and invoices, a current MOT until May next year, V5C Registration Document, and the full book pack in the BMW wallet, including the owner’s handbook and stamped service book that documents eight services. Due to be driven to the sale, not much comes close in terms of real-world driving enjoyment as an E39 M5. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
Registration No: ARH 90X Chassis No: WF0BXXGCABCY39773 MOT: July 2025Believed to be 1 of just 168 UK registered XR3s left on the road todaySupplied with rare and desirable 5 speed manual transmissionOffered with a collection of invoicesFinished in attractive Titan BlueTo compete with Volkswagen's Golf GTI, a hot hatch version of the MkIII Escort was developed – the XR3. Initially, this featured a tuned version of the 1.6L CVH engine fitted with a twin-choke Weber carburettor, uprated suspension and numerous cosmetic alterations. It lacked a five-speed transmission and fuel injection. Fuel injection finally arrived in October 1982 creating the XR3i, eight months behind the limited edition (8,659 examples) race-track-influenced RS 1600i. The Cologne-developed RS received a more powerful engine with 115 PS (85 kW), thanks to computerized ignition and a modified head as well as the fuel injection. Built in Germany but developed with the aid of computers in Essex, Michigan and Cologne, the XR3 was an instant hit, and represented one in 10 Escort sales. The mix of iconic ‘cloverleaf’ alloy wheels, chin spoiler and Porsche 928 inspired sports seats, captured the public’s imagination. It wasn’t perfect, however, despite Bilstein being drafted in at the last minute to tweak the suspension, the ride was firm, so Ford’s UK Special Vehicle Engineering arm, headed by Rod Mansfield, stepped in to change that.Believed to be one of some 168 UK registered XR3s left on the road today, this XR3, a non-injection iteration of the model, was first registered on 20th April 1982, with the rare and desirable 5-speed manual transmission. Finished in the attractive and rarely seen Titan Blue with dealer decals still in place, this is a very early XR3 that the vendor purchased for his daughter in March 2022, after ‘a long search for a ‘good one’’, but it sits in a garage and has seen little use. With 4 former keepers recorded, the vendor says the car had once been owned by an auntie, then her niece and had been in storage for sometime.Even with Historic Vehicle status, the vendor has still put the XR3 through an MOT test at 86,798 miles, which will expire in July 2025. The single advisory has been remedied. The body is amazingly original with some minor marks as you would expect from such originality. The interior is equally very good. 'ARH’ had a cam-belt fitted along with a full service when purchased. In the last two years, the XR3 has also benefitted from a new carburettor, cam-belt and water pump, new tyres, new brake components, battery and battery tray, head gasket, thermostat, oil and filter. Additionally, it's worth pointing out its cloverleaf spare wheel and a Blue top-tint windscreen. Offered with a collection of invoices, sundry paperwork and a current V5C on file.

Registration No: B10 AXA Chassis No: WAPBA33L09FE45044 MOT: July 2025Build Number 44 of a reputed 112 B10 3.3 Saloon models worldwideRare and highly desirable manual gearbox exampleCurrent ownership for eleven years and just five former keepersSupplied with a history file including documented service historyThe Alpina B10 3.2, 3.3, V8 and V8S petrol-engined models were built in saloon and estate body styles based on the E39 from January 1997 to May 2004. The BMW Alpina B10 3.3 produced 276bhp @ 6,200bhp and 335Nm (247 lb ft) of torque @ 4,500rpm. Alpina only made 112 of the B10 3.3 saloon models worldwide, from a total E39 B10 production run of 472, split across six-cylinder and V8s, saloon and touring models. Alpina really threw everything at this model! Unlike the earlier 3.2 version (which used a 528i engine as a base), the 3.3 Alpina took the legendary S52B32 engine from the US-spec E36 M3 and then increased the stroke to up the capacity to 3.3 litres. It was then fitted with lightweight MAHLE pistons with a ported and polished cylinder head, with a new crankshaft with torsional vibration dampers and revised ECU software.Build number 44 of the 112 B10s produced, was manufactured in 1999 and was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 1st March that year. Finished in Anthracite Grey paintwork with Montana Grey leather interior upholstery, the Alpina was specified with the rare and highly desirable manual gearbox, as well as electric rear windscreen blind and rear window privacy blinds, 19’ staggered alloys, Angel Eye, and LED lights, as well as having a tracking system. In current ownership since 2013, the Alpina has covered some 18,000 miles in this time and has just five former keepers. Offered with apt ‘B10’ registration number included, its original unused tool kit, glove box torch, medical kit, Schnitzer heated wing mirrors and a stainless steel exhaust, the B10 is rated by the vendor as ‘very good’ in regards to bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment, and as having ‘excellent’ interior trim. Offered with a history file that includes the original book pack including the stamped service book, as well as historic invoices and MOTs, a no advisory MOT until July next year, and a current V5C document.

Registration No: WC 1264 Chassis No: 151112 MOT: ExemptRecently fitted with a handbrake, ratchet quadrant and starter motorConverted in-period to a Pickup by a Dordogne butcher during WWIIOffered with some original documentation, various manuals and the current V5C documentAn evolution of its B2 and B10 predecessors, the B12 was introduced in October 1925. Available with a diverse choice of all-steel bodywork (made to Budd patents), its uprated, quarter-elliptic leaf-sprung chassis featured worm and roller steering, rear shock absorbers and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a willing 1452cc four-cylinder side-valve engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox, the B12 was quick to establish a reputation for durability and economy. In production for less than two years, surviving examples are an understandably scarce sight today.This Citroen B12 was built in 1925 (verified by Stellantis-Citroen UK) as a Saloon. Purchased as a non-runner in 2021, some missing parts have since been sourced in France and the now engine starts and runs via the starter motor or starting handle. The vendors purchased the B12 due to an interest in WWII history, of which there is plenty. It was converted to a Pickup (Plateau) by a butcher in the Dordogne during WWII, to enable him to obtain fuel from the Nazi occupiers who issued coupons to owners of commercial vehicles. When Germany finally retreated and liberation came, vehicles were painted with Free French Independence (FFI) insignia to participate in victory celebrations. The butcher then sold it to a local vineyard owner. An Englishman spotted the Pickup in a field in the late 1980s and purchased it, subsequently featuring in a number of magazines.Since 2021 the Pickup has benefitted from much expenditure, including replacement of the flat bed, the fuel lines, battery and cradle and the 6v windscreen wiper motor; refurbishment of the steering wheel, wiring loom, matching door cards and fabricating period registration plates. The Citroen was granted an age-related number in January 2024. Some original documentation and various manuals are included along with the V5C.

Registration No: LHO 401 Chassis No: 401/1202 MOT: ExemptOne of just 618 Bristol 401s built and with the distinctive original Bristol registered plate "LHO 401"Previously in the ownership of Derek Cunningham, a flamboyant Hollywood writer, director and actorMatching chassis and engine numbers and a fantastic opportunity to own a BristolOffered from a deceased estate and just requiring its final finishing / debugging"This, indeed, is the car for the connoisseur. It can only be modesty on the part of the Bristol publicity boys which has prevented them from quoting as the 401's slogan 'The Best Car in Britain'" (Motor Sport magazine, January 1953).Introduced in Autumn 1949, the 401 was characterised by its super-smooth, aerodynamic bodywork. Honed in the Bristol Aeroplane Company's wind tunnel and built using Milanese coachbuilder Touring's ‘Superleggera’ technique, it boasted a commendably lithe kerb weight (c.2,700lbs). Equipped with transverse-leaf independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes, the newcomer proved a notably fine handler taking Touring Class wins on both the Cannes and Tulip Rallies during 1951. Powered by a 1971cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the elegant sports saloon promised nigh-on 100mph performance. Only in production for four years (by which time a mere 618 are thought to have been made), the model's exclusive £3,212 13s 4d price tag was a reflection of the aircraft quality materials used in its construction.First registered in Hampshire on the 14th May 1953 and previously featured in the December 1956 issue of Motor Sport magazine with its original and apt Bristol area mark 'LHO 401', this Bristol 401 has resided in and benefitted from its current ownership since 2019. When purchased by the vendor, 'LHO' was in a stripped-down state. The clincher for the vendor buying this particular car in a stripped-down condition - not normally recommended, was he identified from the logbook it was registered close to his birthday. A touch of serendipity in his mind. Stripped-down for previous restoration work in 1979, 'LHO 401' had occupied a space at TT Workshops Ltd for some 15 years, where work was carried out as-and-when. Decades now having passed 85% complete and unfinished, work was to begin in earnest to finally bring 'LHO' back to its former glory.All checked out as 'very good'. In particular, the chassis presented in excellent condition with no visible corrosion or signs of damage. Stripped once more, 'LHO' was presented to Superspray Ltd where it was taken to bare metal (images on file). 'LHO's' original colour had been identified as a Blue/Green hue ('Blue' on the buff logbook), however, it was decided that British Racing Green would be used. Meanwhile, the engine, was overhauled by Rob Walker Engines, Oxfordshire. A set of Cosworth pistons and rings, developed for better combustion in race engines were obtained from Roderick MacPherson, a Bristol Engine specialist, along with a 'fast road' profiled camshaft. The gearbox was taken to another Bristol specialist to be checked over and have an overdrive unit fitted.Previously in the ownership of a Derek Cunningham, a flamboyant writer, director and actor linked to satirical sketch comedy and work in Hollywood, 'LHO 401' is accompanied to the sale by its original logbook, instruction manual, a dossier of correspondence, invoices from the 1970s and 1980s, a copy of Motor Sport magazine featuring 'LHO' and other fascinating history. PLEASE NOTE: The restoration of this lot is essentially complete. The ‘finishing’ it requires is a matter of running-in, de-bugging and minor fettling. For example, the fuel filler flap could do with adjustment likewise the operation of the windscreen wiper motor.

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: F21 NSX Chassis No: JHMNA12600T000564 MOT: March 2025Finished in Formula Red with Black upholstery, the same as the car owned by racing legend Ayrton SennaUnderstood to be 1 of just 500 UK-supplied examplesCherished registration number ‘F21 NSX’ included in saleOffered with owner's wallet, service book, and handbook plus a collection of invoicesThe NSX (New Sportscar eXperimental) was a major departure for Honda, which by 1984 was renowned for its well-engineered but generally quite staid road cars. Its origins lay in the HP-X (Honda Pininfarina eXperimental) concept of that year and wowed the performance car world when it debuted at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show. The intention was to match or better the performance of contemporaneous V8 Ferraris, coupled with superior reliability and lower cost. With styling inspired by the F-16 fighter jet, the paint process ran to 23 phases, and Ayrton Senna was involved in the vehicle's final development. It was the first mass-production car equipped with an all-aluminium body and was powered by an all-alloy V6 motor featuring Honda's patented VTEC engine control system and titanium connecting rods. The unit drove through a five-speed manual or four-speed sports automatic system.Make no mistake, this was a mould-breaking motorcar that even caused McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray to say: "When I drove an NSX, all existing benchmark cars vanished from my mind." The car was the first real Japanese 'supercar', proving itself and quickly establishing respect from its key competitors. However, this superiority was not translated into sales and, by the time production ceased in 2005, fewer than 20,000 had been sold making them relatively rare and much sought-after today.Manufactured in 1991, ‘F21 NSX’ is a highly desirable UK-supplied example having been supplied new via Shepperton Honda and first registered on the 16th May that year. Finished in the striking and iconic colour combination of Formula Red paintwork with Black leather interior upholstery, matching that of the NSX owned by racing legend Ayrton Senna that is so familiar from the well-known image of him washing it outside his Portuguese villa in 1992. The 3.0 V6 VTEC engine is allied to the four-speed automatic transmission and is offered for auction having covered some 93,600 miles from new. Covering the majority of its mileage in the first eleven years, surpassing 70,000 miles, the NSX has just three former keepers. While residing in current ownership, the NSX has been used regularly, attending numerous shows, and winning awards at several of them!Presenting very well, the NSX still features its supplying dealer sticker in the rear windscreen and the tool kit, as well as the original steering wheel and gear lever accompanying. Supplied with a history file that includes the book pack in the Honda wallet including the owner’s handbook and service book, a large collection of previous MOT certificates, numerous invoices for maintenance and servicing, original sales literature, current V5C document, and, most pleasingly, the original Shepperton Honda sales invoice and correspondence between the Shepperton Sales Director and the first owner. Benefitting from its most recent cambelt change in 2023 by Guildford Honda and a full service at the start of this year, this NSX is an excellent opportunity to acquire a scarce UK-supplied example, in a very popular colour scheme.

Registration No: LG02 FKR Chassis No: WDC2030652RO35160 MOT: September 2025Built to the special order of former Works Ferrari, BRM, Connaught and Aston Martin driver Tony Brooks who collected it from the factory1 of just 326 UK-supplied examplesFaster, rarer and subtler than a BMW M3 (E46), Autocar finding one capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds and 0-100mph in 10.8 secondsImpressive specification included deletion of the standard speed limiterWell documented service history and obviously well cared forLaunched in 2001, the Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG proved faster, rarer and subtler than the contemporary BMW M3 (E46). Comprehensively reworked by AMG, the newcomer’s 3.2 litre V6 featured a new crankshaft, conrods, pistons, lightweight camshafts and hardened valve springs. Force-fed via a twin-scroll IHI supercharger, the free-revving powerplant developed some 349bhp / 339lbft. The ride height was lowered by 30mm, the suspension stiffened and the brakes uprated, while the five-speed automatic transmission was recalibrated to shift thirty-five percent faster. Although limited to 155mph, Autocar found the super saloon capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds (though, 180mph was rumoured to be possible if the relevant electrics were disabled). Just 326 C32 AMG Saloons are thought to have been supplied new to the UK.The accompanying original invoice shows that the late Tony Brooks received a ‘special discount’ of some €9,000 when ordering chassis 035160 direct from the factory; a measure perhaps of the respect he still commanded some forty-one years after hanging up his helmet. Finished in Brilliant Silver with Anthracite leather upholstery, his special order C32 AMG boasted a sunroof, air-conditioning, Xenon headlights, heated windscreen washers, COMAND, ski bag, electric rear window blind and disabled speed limiter (making it rather more comfortable than the Mercedes Gullwing he had campaigned for Rob Walker in period). Main dealer maintained up until 82,414 miles, the last five services were carried out by marque specialist Star-Tec of Surrey with the most recent being at 118,601 (c.1,500 miles ago). Obviously well cared for, the super saloon’s bodywork and paintwork belie its age and mileage. Lacking the flared wheelarches and more aggressive bodykits of subsequent AMGs, the C32’s electrifying performance is deliciously at odds with its understated looks. Retained by Mr Brooks until his death in 2022, the six-time F1 race winner remains the Mercedes-Benz’s only registered keeper. Surely one for the future given its rarity and provenance, ‘LG02 FKR’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, MOT certificate, Internationaler Zulassungsschein and associated paperwork.

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: YSU 288 Chassis No: T838180DN MOT: Exempt1 of just 104 XK150 S 3.4 litre Drophead Coupes made (in both LHD and RHD)Supplied new to E. Schiller Esq of Illinois and later resident in Germany for many years before being repatriated in 1988Treated to a bare metal renovation and conversion to RHD by The Vehicle Restoration Co and subsequently improved by renowned XK specialist, Twyford Moors (engine overhaul / conversion to unleaded, interior re-trimmed etc)Purchased by the vendor from JD Classics in 2011 for £99,000 and subject to some £27,000 worth of fettling / maintenance sinceThe final iteration of the XK sportscar line, the XK150 was introduced in May 1957. While its use of independent torsion-bar front suspension, a 'live' leaf-sprung rear axle and rack-and-pinion steering mirrored the practice of its XK140 predecessor, the new model benefited from the option of all-round Dunlop disc brakes (though, in practice very few – if any - cars were delivered with drum brakes). Stylistically, the newcomer was brought up-to-date with less ostentatious curves and a larger, wrap-around single piece windscreen. With the E-type still very much under development, Jaguar was keen to sustain the sporting reputation that a remarkable five Le Mans victories (1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957) had earned it. Initially powered by a 3442cc derivative of the marque's race-proven DOHC straight-six engine, the XK150 could be specified with an enlarged 3781cc unit from late 1959 onwards. Available in Standard, Special Equipment or 'S' tune, the latter high-performance package comprised a Harry Weslake-modified cylinder head, more aggressive camshaft profiling, high compression pistons and triple SU carburettors. Like its lesser siblings, the XK150 ‘S’ could be had in Fixed-Head Coupe, Open Two-Seater (Roadster) or Drophead Coupe guises. With a claimed 250hp on tap, the 'S' 3.4 Litre cars were reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds and 132mph. Among the rarest of all XK variants, total (LHD and RHD) XK150 ‘S’ 3.4 Drophead Coupe production is thought to have amounted to just 104 cars. Unsurprisingly, survivors are highly prized by collectors. According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis T838180DN was completed on 5th March 1959 and supplied new to E. Schiller of Oak Park, Illinois. Initially finished in Carmen Red, the XK150 S is understood to have migrated to Germany (possibly in the hands of a US serviceman) not long afterwards. Repatriated during 1988 by Peter Cutler, the 2+2-seater was then entrusted to The Vehicle Restoration Co of West Sussex for a bare metal repaint, conversion to right-hand drive and sundry other works. Sold to Shell Oil executive Alan Hunt by Twyford Moors in 1998, he commissioned the renowned XK specialist to retrim the interior, install an alternator, uprate the cooling system (re-cored radiator, Kenlowe fan, alloy expansion tank), plumb-in a facet fuel pump and regulator plus fit new 6 x 15 chrome wire wheels and tyres. Mr Hunt subsequently had them thoroughly overhaul the original engine (including conversion to unleaded) and improve the hood. Humphrey Bunyan of The Classic Car Workshop refurbished the front suspension and further upgraded the Drophead Coupe with a Getrag five-speed manual gearbox, replacement fuel tank and SPAX shock absorbers all round. Registered to Alexander Krahe of Twyford Moors thereafter, ‘YSU 288’ entered the current ownership via JD Classics for £99,140 in December 2011 at which time it was said to have covered just 9,000 post-restoration miles. Enjoyed by the vendor for numerous trips around the UK and into Europe, he has employed the services of Paul Roach Jaguar Ltd to maintain and fettle the XK150 S spending close to £27,000 over the past thirteen years. As well as servicing the 2+2-seater, the Acton, nr Sudbury based firm has rewired it, installed electric power steering, re-bushed the suspension, replaced the rear springs, overhauled the engine’s bottom end and renewed various back axle seals. Old MOT certificates on file suggest that the Drophead Coupe has covered some 22,000 miles since returning to the UK. Starting readily upon inspection and proving a doddle to manoeuvre with its power steering and five-speed gearbox, the Jaguar now presents as an older restoration. The paintwork has aged in places and the brightwork is imperfect. However, the seller admits he bought ‘YSU 288’ to drive rather than polish. Able to boast matching chassis, engine and body numbers, this genuine XK150 S 3.4 litre Drophead Coupe is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file. A tempting proposition indeed. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737
Registration No: NEA 421V Chassis No: 2392148815 MOT: April 2025Desirable UK-supplied example that pleasingly features a highly original interiorUtilising a 1641cc ‘Super Street’ engineSubject to mechanical improvement in 2023Used since by the vendor for several camping trips including to Brecon Beacons, Suffolk, and BristolIntroduced in 1968, the T2 generation of Volkswagen’s iconic, forward-control Type 2 which has proven versatile enough to serve as a panel van, minibus, camper van and even fire engine was immediately recognisable due to its adoption of a large single-piece windscreen. Nicknamed the ‘Bay Window’, the newcomer incorporated a revised half-shaft driveline to the rear which not only facilitated an increase in ride height but also improved handling. The T2’s lengthened wheelbase was welcomed by motor caravan builders if only because the increased interior space it yielded made conversion and customisation easier. Facelifted in 1972 for the following model year, the Volkswagen gained more visible / higher set indicators and stronger square-profile bumpers that enabled the so-called T2b to meet contemporary US passenger car safety standards (tests from which vans were technically exempt).A late production T2, it was converted when new to Devon Moonraker specification. UK-supplied, the Volkswagen is presented in attractive Yellow and White paintwork and features its pleasingly largely original interior, this includes a side opening ‘pop top’, worktop and cabinets with two-burner hob, sink with drying rack, rock-and-roll bed, folding chair, table, curtains, storage, fridge, C-TEK charger with leisure battery and more. Utilising a ‘big bore super street’ 1641cc engine that was fitted in 2009 by The Engine Shop, after the engine had received a full overhaul. In previous ownership from 2012, the Volkswagen received over £6,000 enhancement with specialists Absolute VW, including lowering with Creative Engineering parts; new front discs, calipers, pads and hoses; wiring attention; rocker gaskets replaced; new exhaust; 12v fuse box; 240v hook-up; and more. Subsequently, ‘NEA 421V’ covered c.3,000 miles including a European road trip, before being acquired by the vendor who continued the improvements and camping trips with journeys to the Brecon Beacons, Suffolk, and Bristol. Last year receiving a carburettor overhaul, a new dual marine battery (costing £120), and a new coil, distributor, heat exchanger, service items, and Pertronix Ignitor kit costing some £600, from specialists Just Kampers. Accompanied by a history file with a collection of invoices, a no advisory MOT until April 2025, and V5C which records just six former keepers, and a full set of black-out window covers.

Registration No: GF 5087Chassis No: 46163MOT: ExemptSupplied new by Col. Sorrel to 'Montmorensie' and subsequently the property of J.M. Carrick, J. Montgomerie, A.R. Gooda, R.J. Rickards, D.E. Crowther and the vendorOriginal chassis, engine and transaxle. Front axle understood to be of Molsheim manufacture but no number discernedDecidedly elegant Weymann coachworkThere is no doubt ‘La Petite Royale’ succeeded where ‘(La Grande) Royale’ failed in terms of cementing Bugatti’s status as a luxury motorcar manufacturer; little wonder then that the model was reputedly among Ettore’s favourites. Le Patron would surely have approved of this particular example – chassis 46163 – too on the basis that it sports a scaled-down version of the magnificent semi-panelled Weymann Coach body which adorned his personal Type 41 ‘Royale’ when it won the 1929 Grand Prix d'Honneur Concours d'Elegance complete with ‘letterbox’ windscreen, kick-forward A-pillar, D-back and asymmetric rear windows. Invoiced to UK concessionaire Colonel Sorrel on 7th January 1930 for the princely sum of FF63,000 (including FF2,570 of extra fittings), the two-door Fixed Head was delivered a month later. Issued with the London number plate ‘GF 5087’ on April 2nd 1930, the Type 46’s first owner is simply recorded as ‘Montmorensie’ who we presume to have been the artist Sir Miles Fletcher de Montmorency, 17th Baronet Morres of Knockagh. Deriving an income from his Irish estates but residing in the English Capital, de Montmorency seemingly kept the four-seater until 1939/1940 when it was bought by Rodney Clarke Esq. for a mere £30! The co-founder of renowned Bugatti and Maserati specialists Continental Cars (and later Connaught), Clarke believed chassis 46163 to have been the Type 46 that he loaned to Cecil Clutton and Laurence Pomeroy for a test drive which was subsequently written-up in the April 1942 issue of Motor Sport magazine. Hand- and typewritten correspondence on file also reveals that ‘GF 5087’ was the car in which Pamela Clarke ‘missed being born by five minutes’ during 1943.Migrating to Scotland thereafter, the close-coupled four-seater belonged to J.M. Carrick Esq. of Coldstream, Berwick and then John Montgomerie Esq of Castle Douglas. The latter acquired it in 1954 and as the proprietor of James Gordon (Engineers) Ltd set about a ‘chassis up, body off’ restoration. Amazingly, much of the work is chronicled via a series of accompanying black and white photographs. Done on a piecemeal basis, the project had yet to be completed when Robert Prosser (acting on behalf of Robert Gooda Esq.) tracked the Bugatti to Castle Douglas during 1973. In two minds about selling, Montgomerie asked what he felt was an overly ambitious £4,000 for chassis 46163 and was somewhat taken aback to be pretty much handed a deposit there and then. Custodian for less than a year, Mr Gooda had the Type 46 re-registered as ‘GF 5087’ but apparently did little else prior to his premature demise. Advertised for £6,500 in the Thursday February 21st 1974 issue of Exchange & Mart, the Bugatti had in fact changed hands earlier that month being bought by R.J. Rickards Esq. Entering into correspondence with Mr Montgomerie, Mr Rickards received a wealth of information about the mechanical overhaul and was even sent the water pump. The engine is the original factory-fitted unit and is clearly stamped with the numbers ‘79’ and ‘195’. The former is the actual engine number, while the latter is the assembly number (and not that of a correct-type replacement, as had been previously posited). Mr Rickards would own the Bugatti for no less than thirty years during which time he repaired the ash frame, had the fabric panelling renewed in Blue by coachbuilder I. Wilkinson & Son of Derby and retrimmed the interior etc but, like his predecessors, did not finish it. Sold to its previous keeper Douglas Crowther Esq via the agency of Gavin McGuire Fine Automobiles in 2004, the Type 46 was further improved with all six of its alloy wheels being expensively refurbished before entering the current ownership a decade later.An automotive engineer by profession whose career took him all over the globe on various troubleshooting and project management missions, the vendor has had a lifelong passion for motorcars. Inspired by a petrolhead stepfather and racing driver mother, he has undertaken numerous restorations over the years and still has a 1932 Alvis which has been in his family since new. As well as completely rewiring the Weymann Coach including rejuvenating the ignition system (no mean feat given the lack of available information on the twin-plug set-up), he has had the instruments restored and the interior trim completed. Thought to have begun life with Marchal lighting, ‘GF 5087’ switched over to Scintilla components early in its life (the fuse box and horn are marked Scintilla too). More original than many surviving Bugattis, chassis 46163 has recently been inspected by the marque historian and Honorary Registrar of the Bugatti Owners’ Club, Mark Morris. Keen to be as authentic as possible in his endeavours, the seller has persisted with the Smith-Bariquand carburettor and reinstated the full-length running boards (a task made easier by the presence of the factory mounting holes). The ‘Metro Fully Flush Sliding Roof’ remains in situ and operational. Although a going concern, ‘GF 5087’ has yet to be run-in and / or de-bugged since the completion of its protracted, seven-decade, refurbishment. Housed within an engine-turned aluminium panel, the Jaegar instruments encompass a 150kmh speedometer and zeroed odometer.Aesthetics are subjective but we consider chassis 46163 to be among the most attractive Type 46s to have survived. Our sentiments being presaged by Cecil Clutton in Motor Sport eighty-two years ago: ‘This particular car is undoubtedly one of the most handsome ever, as is universally agreed by all beholders . . . The body is a two-door, four-light Weymann, with a large travelling trunk behind. The wheels are of the aluminium type. Some 5-litres are rather “lumps” in appearance, but this one is essentially “sleek.” An overall height of only 5’ 3”, as against a wheelbase of no less than 11’ 6”, largely contributes to the exceptionally fine appearance’. The potential jewel in many a collection and a fabulous opportunity for Bugattistes everywhere, this glorious ‘Petite Royale’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file, Mark Morris report and spare block (which was purchased from marque specialist ‘Ivan Dutton’ on a ‘just in case / you never know’ basis).For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737
Registration No: YJ56 DRX Chassis No: SDBDE23W67C044949 MOT: October 202447,400 recorded miles and 5 former keepersOffered with handbook and service bookCollection of invoices and current V5C documentIntroduced at the New York Motor Show in April 2006, the Bentley Continental GT Convertible (or GTC) proved an immediate sales success. Determined to engineer the most torsionally rigid open four-seater that money could buy, the Crewe manufacturer incorporated additional steel tubing within the newcomer's A-posts and windscreen frame, reinforcing its sills and cross-braced the floorplan to a greater degree. The result was a class-leading 16,595ft-lb per degree. A very near match in dynamic terms for its Coupe sibling, the Convertible utilised the same crushingly powerful twin-turbocharged 6-litre W12 engine, Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive system, massive ABS-backed disc brakes and sophisticated all-round independent air suspension. Electro-hydraulically operated, the Bentley's luxuriously padded fabric roof not only stowed away neatly but also provided almost limousine levels of refinement. Reputedly capable of over 190mph when topless, the GTC featured two sturdy steel hoops concealed beneath its rear headrests which could be deployed within fractions of a second if the onboard computer sensed an impending roll. Arguably more of a 2+2-seater than a true four-seater, the model could raise or lower its hood at speeds of up to 20mph (a nice party piece in slow-moving traffic).First registered on January 1st 2007, ‘YJ56 DRX’ is finished in the very attractive colour scheme of Light Blue Metallic with Cream leather upholstery and Dark Blue mohair hood. Displaying c.47,400 miles and having had 5 former keepers, the Bentley has been subject to the fitment of a replacement suspension compressor and suspension strut, as well as the A/C regassed in 2021 totalling some £2,200. Subject to an oil and filter change in January of this year the Bentley is offered with owner’s handbook and service book, collection of invoices, V5C document and a current MOT certificate until 29th October 2024.

Registration No: NFC 658S Chassis No: 124CS10141000 MOT: ExemptImported from the American ‘dry state’ Nevada in 2021Subject to a renovation upon arrival by the vendor between 2021 and 2023Benefitting from an estimated £15,000 expenditureStarting readily and running well during our recent photography sessionIntroduced at the November 1966 Turin Salon, the Fiat 124 Sport Spider boasted a handsome two-door monocoque bodyshell that was both styled and built by Pininfarina and proved a great sales success. A staple part of Fiat's model range until 1982, with just under 200,000 produced, the majority were shipped to North America.Manufactured in 1978, the 124 Spider was supplied new to the United States of America, residing there until being imported to the United Kingdom in 2021 from the American ‘dry state’ Nevada. Noted by the vendor as a very solid example, likely helped by Nevada’s climate, the vendor embarked upon a two-year renovation of the Fiat. Mechanically, the 124 received a comprehensive engine overhaul including new rings, shells, oil pump and starting equipment, new differential seals, new wheel bearings, renewed suspension bushes and powder-coated suspension parts, a new clutch, and refreshed brakes with new calipers and lines.Cosmetically, the interior was refreshed with retrimmed seats, door cards and new carpets, a new hood was supplied, a new windscreen and the wheels were powder-coated and shod with new tyres. Benefitting from an estimated £15,000 worth of expenditure, the Fiat started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Offered with a collection of invoices, documents relating to the UK registration, a copy of the Nevada state title, sales literature and current V5C document.

The ‘One Ten’ was introduced in 1983. Further differentiated from its Series III predecessor by a taller one-piece windscreen, modernised interior and more sophisticated Range Rover-derived permanent four-wheel drive system, the newcomer gained a shorter wheelbase sibling, the ‘Ninety’, in 1984. With their superior load capacity, handling and ride comfort, the ‘One Ten’ (110) and ‘Ninety’ (90) proved strong sellers.Offered here is a very practical iteration of the Land Rover Defender 110. A long-wheelbase example 'G222 UTM' has been the subject of much improvement in recent years with a previous bodywork restoration and repaint in a very handsome Black. It's understood attention was also paid to the mechanicals and a replacement chassis was fitted. Powered by a Mazda 35 SL TDI engine, not shown as such on the HPI report, it states 'V8', there are only 2 former keepers on record. Displaying a mere 84,290 miles the Land Rover is offered with a current V5C Registration Document. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760
Registration No: TJH 525D Chassis No: DB6/2453/R MOT: ExemptSupplied new via Plough Motors to Aegues Properties Ltd of Cheltenham and initially registered as 'GDD 222D'In single ownership from 1972 - 2024, by which time it had been repainted from Silver Birch to Fiesta Red and granted its current 'TJH 525D' number plateMatching chassis and engine numbers and desirable ZF 5-speed manual gearboxAccompanying paperwork dates back to 1971 when the DB6 underwent a major service at the factoryTreated to a partial re-trim and new battery by the vendor. Running and driving with decent oil pressure but would benefit from further recommissioningUnveiled at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was the first Aston Martin model to be engineered following the company's move from Feltham to Newport Pagnell. Although a direct development of the DB5, with the same visage, the newcomer enjoyed notably better high-speed stability thanks to the provision of a Kamm tail, and superior interior space courtesy of a 3.7-inch longer wheelbase and taller roofline. Grafted over a sheet steel platform chassis, the four-seater's hand-finished aluminium panels helped contribute to a claimed kerb weight of 3,232lbs that was actually only 17lbs heavier than its predecessor. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its poise, the DB6 employed all-round coil-sprung suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by the famous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine, the model boasted some 325bhp and 288lbft of torque in uprated Vantage tune and could be had with five-speed ZF manual or three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. A contemporary road test found a manual DB6 Vantage to be capable of 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds and 150mph. A total of 1,327 MkI Saloons were produced between October 1965 and the MkII's July 1969 arrival. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis DB6/2453/R was completed on 20th January 1966 and despatched to Plough Motors (Stroud Valley) Ltd some six weeks later. Originally finished in Silver Birch, the Aston Martin’s impressive specification also encompassed the more powerful Vantage engine, ZF 5-speed manual transmission, heated rear windscreen, powered aerial and chrome wire wheels with three-eared spinners. Supplied new to Aegues Properties Ltd of Cheltenham, the DB6 was returned to the factory for a major service during November 1971, by which time it belonged to G.A. Darlington Esq of Newton Hall, Suffolk and had exchanged its first number plate ‘GDD 222D’ for the current one ‘TJH 525D’. Repainted Fiesta Red prior to being bought by C.E. McKinney Esq the following year, the 2+2-seater remained in his care until 2024. A pilot by profession, Mr McKinney used the Aston Martin for commuting in the 1970s but only on high days and holidays thereafter. Invoices on file show that the DB6 has covered a mere 20,000 miles since having its cylinder head overhauled by W. Rennie-Roberts of Colchester during April 1975 (the warranted odometer reading stands at just 98,000). Other bills from Aston Martin Lagonda, Aston Service Dorset, Puddleduck and Rikki Cann attest to ongoing maintenance. The brake system has been refurbished (2002-2003), the starter motor rejuvenated (2010) and the fuel pump renewed (2011). Entrusted to Classic and Retro of Sible Hedingham in late 2012 at a recorded 97,585 miles, the 2+2-seater had attention paid to its ignition system, interior trim (headlining, carpets, rear seat base etc), window rubbers and brakes not to mention being treated to new wire wheels and tyres. Further improved by Woodbridge Classic Cars at a cost of £2,947.18 during June 2015, they replaced the engine and fuel tank mounts, installed new steering rack gaiters, changed the left-hand servo gaskets and tuned the triple Weber carburettors. Reluctantly put up for sale after more than half a century due to the physicality of driving it, ‘TJH 525D’ entered the current ownership in January this year. A lifelong Aston Martin enthusiast, the vendor has partially re-trimmed the cabin (new front seat facings and boot carpet) and begun the recommissioning process. Starting readily during our recent photography session (August 2024) and driven to and from the location, the DB6 recorded good oil pressure but would nevertheless benefit from more mechanical fettling. The underside appeared sound during our cursory inspection, with evidence of new sills and jacking points being fitted in the past. The seller had intended to return the 2+2-seater to its initial Silver Birch hue. However, the acquisition of another DB6 whilst waiting for a slot at his preferred body shop has meant that ‘TJH 525D’ is now surplus to requirements. Pleasingly retaining its original Vantage engine albeit with the bonus of comparatively fresh Weber carburettors and a stainless steel exhaust, this much-loved and archetypal British GT is now ready for its next long-term custodian.

This was the first major update for the Discovery name since 1989 and it was well deserved; whilst being an entirely new car it retained the key features of the Discovery, such as the stepped roofline and steeply raked windscreen. This generation of Discovery also introduced air suspension which allowed for greater comfort both on and off-road, along with the ability to change the car's ride height at the flick of a switch, an ideal feature when wanting to enter an underground car park or when traversing rocky terrain.First registered on 19th March 2008 and with only two former keepers, this TDV6 HSE specified example of the Discovery 3, a 6-speed auto, displays just under 95,000 miles on the odometer. Our vendor has owned the car since late 2021 and is now selling it as he doesn’t use it as often as he used to. A pleasingly standard, well-maintained and usable example, the Discovery has been very well maintained in current ownership and evidently, from the invoice trail, prior to this.In its life, important works have included a gearbox, diff and transfer box service at 80,815 miles, cambelts at 79,211 miles and attention to the air suspension and braking system, with much regular expenditure. It was recently the subject of a service (September 2024) by PJS, Essex, who have been looking after the maintenance of the Discovery in current ownership. The accompanying service record has 10 entries, with the majority of servicing, as with much of the previous mechanical work, entrusted to independent specialists Town and Country. It is offered with a collection of invoices for works by independent specialists, the service record booklet and a current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: WAM 731K Chassis No: GHN5252748G MOT: May 2025‘Works-style replica’ for use in classic tours and track eventsSubject to an extensive 3- year restoration by A J RestorationsGas flowed Oselli head, Piper 717 cam, a balanced crank, rods, flywheel and Weber 45Moss Independent front suspension set-up and 15” Minilite style wheels PLEASE NOTE: The windscreen on this lot has recently cracked. The MG is booked in for a replacement windscreen on Thursday. If the successful buyer wanted to collect the MG from the vendor when the windscreen has been replaced this can be arranged or alternatively the vendor will look to arrange the appointment closer to the buyer’s location. Introduced in 1962, the MG B Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. 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. The MkII (’GHN5’ chassis numbers from 1969 onwards) MG B, had a 5 main bearing engine with alternator, negative earth and, at last, received a new gearbox with synchromesh on all four forward speeds.Finished in Tartan Red with White Works style hardtop which is fitted with a rare Minivan roof vent 'WAM 731K' was bought by the vendor in 2001 and from 2003 to 2006 was subject to an extensive 3-year restoration by A J Restorations of Shaftesbury. All external panels (doors, bonnet, boot and front wings) were replaced and front and rear Sebring valances were fitted. The remit was to restore and replicate the 1965 Works MGB Race cars used at Le Mans.The impressive specification includes; Gas flowed Oselli head, Piper 717 cam, a balanced crank, rods, flywheel and a Weber 45 carburettor which produced 130bhp on Sigma’s rolling road in Gillingham. In 2001 the whole front suspension was replaced with a Moss Independent front suspension set-up and all the suspension and brake components were renewed including the discs, uprights, and hubs at a cost of some £3,000.We are told the full roll cage took a week to adapt and fit properly and four new 15” Minilite wheels, tyres, racing seats and harnesses were all installed. In total c.£25,000 has been spent. A regular attendee to Goodwood, Le Mans Classic, Silverstone Classic (on the MG Owners club stand), we are informed it has not been raced, although it has done a couple of track days at Castle Combe. The MG further benefits from trips to AJ Restorations every May, for a service and MOT. For more information, please contact: John Markey john.markey@handh.co.uk 01428 607899
Registration No: DLO 936Chassis No: B-135-FCMOT: ExemptEntered from The Merlin CollectionWarranted 15,800 miles from newThe most original and best conserved Derby Bentley we have ever encounteredAccompanying documentation includes correspondence between Messrs Hayward and Angell, handwritten receipts from Mr Webster of Edinburgh Motors for the purchase price (£1,350, 7th May 1954) and tax / insurance (£32, 18th May 1954) plus another for seven driving lessons (£5 8s 1d, 8th June 1954). To have depreciated by just £140 over seventeen years indicates that Mr Angell's appreciation for 'a motor car the like of which is grace personified compared to the pressed-steel, bloated tin-can automobiles as produced by my country today' was not hyperbole. Treasuring the Bentley, its new owner acquired a Riley Kestrel 15/6 for everyday usage and later a Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster to drive on high days and holidays. Stored at Edinburgh Motors until December 1973 when the oil crisis forced its closure, the 3½ Litre accompanied the Angell family to first Glasgow and then Kirkliston. Accompanying MOT certificates issued in May 1970 and April 1980 list recorded mileages for the Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe of 15,030 and 15,195 miles respectively. One of its few public outings being to the 'Bentley Shell 500 Golden Jubilee 1919-1969' celebrations at Oulton Park (a sticker for which remains affixed to the windscreen). Ever wary that a road traffic accident would compromise its remarkable originality, Mr Angell ensured that 'DLO 936' spent less and less time on the public highway. Parked up in his Kirkliston garage for thirty odd years, it benefited from surroundings that were not only watertight but also conducive to preservation in terms of moisture and light levels. Reluctantly offered for sale by Mr Angell's heirs in 2013, the Bentley joined The Merlin Collection that same October via our IWM Duxford auction for £213,750. Blown away by the Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe's exceptional originality, the vendor set about recommissioning it to an exhaustive, obsessional degree. For instance, he spent a week soaking the original fanbelt until it could be reused and was genuinely upset that the period spark plugs could not be made to perform satisfactorily! Losing count after investing 1,500 hours of labour in the project, his efforts meant that all but one of the factory-fitted leather gaiters have been successfully reconditioned. Very few professional restorers, regardless of their calibre, would have matched the seller's attention to detail or patience. He re-used almost all the original nuts and bolts with most of the modern interlopers being found in the stainless-steel exhaust system (complete with correct cut-out mechanism). Keen to do the best job possible, the seller enlisted the help of renowned Derby Bentley expert and the W.O. Bentley Memorial Foundation's Chairman of Trustees, Ken Lea who carried out a first-hand inspection and advised on works. Mr Lea was reportedly amazed to discover that the ash frame was so sound even down to the fillets used between the running boards and their brackets and the sawn-off ends of the scuttle hoops. A careful strip down of the original engine (number E9BC) revealed bore wear in keeping with the recorded mileage and more surprisingly that all six pistons were stamped with the engine number and individual serial numbers. After much deliberation the decision was taken to rewire the four-seater for safety reasons. Needless to say, the replacement wiring loom is faithful to factory blueprints with an authentic cloth-bound look. The vendor also chose to install a higher final drive ratio inside the original rear axle casing and, replace the hood and upgrade the fuel system. The initial final drive ratio and petrol pump come with the car as do letters between Mr Angell and Vanden Plas concerning the soft-top's deterioration (the former coachbuilder advising that as a subsidiary of Austin it was no longer in a position to renew the hood). Indeed, the very few modifications made to improve drivability in today's traffic - including discrete indicators - are all easily reversible without affecting the car's fundamental essence. Where one of Vanden Plas's standard Drophead Coupe bodies for the Derby Bentley chassis would feature plain wings, limited bonnet louvers and plain rubber covers for the running boards as standard, the one fitted to 'DLO 936' sports more sculpted wings, louvers that extend through to the scuttle and individual rubber strips for its running boards. Interestingly, chassis B135FC was delivered some eleven months later than chassis B133FC (a Thrupp & Maberly Saloon supplied new to Lord Harris MC) so the former may well have been built to special order. There really is no substitute for inspecting 'DLO 936' at first hand. Only then can one appreciate its freakish originality and state of preservation. A matchless testament to the craftsmanship of Bentley and Vanden Plas, the car is also a great credit to each of its three custodians: Robert S. Hayward (1937-1954), W. Randolph Angell (1954-2013) and The Merlin Collection (2013-present). A worthy competitor in the conservation class of any major Concours d'Elegance, this incredible ‘matching numbers' 1937 Bentley 3½ Litre Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe is accompanied by its original Bentley Motors Guarantee complete with covering letter and carboard tube (dated 11th March 1937), a continuation buff logbook, old MOTs, assorted storage bills, Bentley 3½ Litre Instruction Book (with B135FC on the inside front cover), copy RREC chassis cards, false starts to Mr Angell's handwritten memoirs (as they relate to the Bentley), sundry Bentley Drivers Club correspondence / publications, circa £20,000 worth of bills from Ristes, Will Fiennes and MWS International etc plus assorted other paperwork. Sliding behind the wheel, it is entirely appropriate that one's view forward is given a sepia tinge by the windscreen (the cellophane sandwiched between its glass layers having yellowed with age) because driving 'DLO 936' is liking stepping back in time. 'Unique' is an overused word but chassis B135FC is that and so much more. For anyone hoping to amass the definitive Bentley collection, it surely deserves a place.For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737
Registration No: HHJ 380L Chassis No: LD 200090 MOT: September 2025Manual transmission, with overdrive Desirable UK-supplied, home market RHD exampleFitted with a variety of subtle upgrades and enhancementsFitted with a Black Mohair soft topRecently serviced and MOT tested, with no advisoriesIntroduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard and soft-top roofs. Despite being in production for seven years, during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.Said by our vendor to “run and drive very well, with everything working as it should”, HHJ 380L is said to benefit from a number of desirable, yet subtle upgrades including uprated rear drive shafts, electric water pump, aluminium radiator, stainless steel tubular exhaust manifolds with sports large bore tailpipe, Lumenition electronic ignition, uprated headlamp kit (to H4 specification all around with relay pack), together with a retro “Tadpole’ radio featuring modern internals. The car’s paintwork is described as “excellent”, as is the chromework. The trim is also described as “excellent” and the black mohair hood is saids to be just as good! Riding on a correct specification alloy wheels in fantastic condition, the underside of the car is also in great structural condition. Ready to use and enjoy, the car is accompanied by a small file of paperwork and has just undergone an MOT inspection to September 2025 (with no advisories) - it was recently serviced also.

Registration - ARY 290BChassis No. - 6251668M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 28,941This charismatic 1964 Volkswagen Beach Buggy is a brilliant example of an iconic concept. The idea of fun beach buggy-type cars has passed through the ages, and this model is an expertly-honed example that features many desirable upgrades. First registered in May 1964 as a silver Volkswagen Beetle, ‘ARY290B’ now features a fully open body design, with a short ‘bikini’ windscreen and four seats trimmed in rich leather. The interior, complete with large white-rimmed original Beetle steering wheel, is described as being in ‘excellent’ condition and passengers don’t have to worry about doors – they simply jump in. If the bikini screen isn’t for you, a spare windscreen is included too. As for the ‘excellent’ bodywork, this is finished in a distinctive black gel coat with silver flakes, which have a multi-colour sparkle when caught by the sunlight.‘ARY290B’ has a 1,298cc twin port engine, and is fitted with a brand new MP carburettor. It also has an EMPI quick-shift gearlever for the four-speed ‘box. The engine, transmission and electrics are all described as being in ‘excellent’ condition, and a disc brake conversion on the front brakes boosts safety when driving. The vendor says it comes with two ignition keys, too. Reassuringly, they say it had new floorpans around three years ago, which have been fully undersealed. This coincided with them buying the car, and it’s always been kept in a dry garage ever since. The simple speedometer in the centre of the dashboard has an odometer reading 28,941 miles.In summary:Characterful beach buggyBased on a 1964 Volkswagen BeetleDistinctive paintwork and ‘excellent’ interior
Registration - RON 786RChassis No. - LD41277AM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 68,000A genuine barn-find opportunity, this Triumph Stag is offered at no reserve, and represents an ideal chance to bring this classic British sports car back to its former glory in the buyer’s vision. Fitted with Triumph’s 3.0-litre V8 and automatic transmission, this Stag comes with factory hard-top and gold pin-striping along the length of the burgundy bodywork. Ordinarily, we would highlight the interior’s colour and features… except there isn’t one in this instance.The vendor describes ‘RON 786R’ as having almost everything required to being the Stag back to life - including the genuine engine; the only missing parts are those interior elements. Because of the nature of the this barn find, there is no V5 or paperwork available for ‘RON 786R’, since it’s been sitting stored for ‘at least 20 years’. The odometer shows an indicated 68,000 miles, though clearly there’s no opportunity to verify this. The engine and transmission are described by the seller as in ‘average’ condition, though the electrics, bodywork, paint, and interior are rated ‘poor’ - a real opportunity to put your mark on this Stag.Offered at no reserveGenuine barn find Triumph StagFeaturing original V8 engineTriumph’s 2+2 sportscar for much of the Seventies, the Stag was a convertible but came about at a time when US regulations required stringent crash safety requirements. As such, a Targa-style roll-over hoop and bar connecting to the windscreen helped create a famous look for the V8-powered roadster. Designed by Giovanni Michelotti, initial plans were to offer a 2.0-litre straight four, but then a 2.5-litre V8 was preferred, before the powers that be decided to enlarge capacity to 3.0-litres. The Mark I lasted from 1970 until 1973, before a number of slight tweaks created a Mark II model. This lasted until the Stag ceased production in 1977.
Registration - XDH 839LChassis No. - CP773920M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - TBCThis very desirable-looking 1972 Triumph TR6 is presented in a stylish combination of white exterior and black interior. The original ‘PI’ 2.5-litre six-cylinder fuel injected engine is paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. It features an upgraded roll bar and leather seats, while the vendor reports the original door cards and roof “need limited attention to be of commensurate standard to the paintwork, which has nothing to hide”. They add the car, which was first registered on 15 September 1972, was voluntarily MOT’d up to 2018, with straight passes, and has had just limited use – around 2,600 miles – since. Indeed, the MOT history of ‘XDH839L’ shows sparing use over the last 18 years, while a detailed file of receipts evidences the extensive maintenance work it has enjoyed. The vendor adds that the original deep-dish wheels have been professionally powder-coated and fitted with a matching set of high-performance tyres, and set off with chrome embellishers. Inside, the wood veneer dashboard features an original radio, steering wheel and gearlever, plus plenty of other attractive period details. The car performs beautifully and, this summer, the vendor has enjoyed several memorable trips out in it. The Triumph TR6 was officially introduced in early 1969 as a replacement for the TR5. Notably, it had an all-new design, created by Germany’s Karmann, while the underpinnings were largely derived from the previous TR4 and TR5. The doors and windscreen were actually taken directly from the TR5. All cars were powered by Triumph’s 2.5-litre straight six engine, with the Lucas mechanical fuel injection that featured on the TR5 also carrying across. Almost 92,000 Triumph TR6 were produced, until it was gradually succeeded by the controversial TR7, with production ending in 1976. In summary:Desirable Triumph TR6 in white with black interiorSparing use over the past 18 yearsUpgraded roll bar and leather seats
Registration - P435 YAEChassis No. - SARRAWBMBMG002009M.O.T. - May 2025Odometer - 33,291 Eye-catching in Woodcote green, this MG RV8 was built in 1996 and, like so many RV8s, exported to Japan. The car was reimported to Britain in 2002, and registered on 24 June. It has four former keepers, the vendor having owned it since August 2015, and is described as being very well looked after, with ‘good’ body and paintwork that retains its metallic shine. A welcome update is a replacement mohair roof, while the interior veneers have also been replaced. The RV8 comes with a history file including the original owner’s handbook, MG RV8 repair manual, a collection of invoices for parts and servicing and old MOT certificates, plus two sets of keys and three immobiliser remote fobs.‘P435 YAE’ has a set of Minilite alloy wheels, with the originals also included. Prior to 2009, the original windscreen surround was replaced by a carbon fibre replacement, and the only body blemish is one small dent just below the bootlid, which is fitted with a classic luggage rack. Inside, the air conditioning unit has been removed to increase legroom, but the vendor will include the unit in the sale. It also has a battery isolator and a wired connector ready for a CTEK trickle charger.On the mechanical front, the 3.9-litre Rover V8 is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. In May 2023, the nearside engine mount was replaced, and both oil and filter changed. In April 2019, the water pump, coolant and brake pressure relief valve were changed, and in 2015, many suspension bushes were replaced. ‘P435 YAE’ was also fitted with a desirable stainless steel exhaust, and it benefits from power steering too. The MOT notes a minor oil leak and the vendor reports a small amount of coolant needs to be added every few months, “but there is no leakage when the engine is running”. This is a much-loved car that has been used for long-distance touring in Europe and Scotland, “and is the ideal choice for day trips and weekends away”.The MGB was revealed in 1962 and remained in production until 1980. The archetypal British classic sports car was then revived by Rover Group in 1992, using bodyshells from British Motor Heritage; the specialist division manufactured the bodyshell, which was painted at Rover’s Cowley plant, before being hand-built in a final assembly area. Because so many mechanical parts from the original MGB were used, the MG RV8 retained a period feel on the road, but the front and rear bodywork upgrades and lavish Connolly leather and burr elm walnut veneer interior gave it a real luxury-grade experience.In summary:MG RV8 originally sold in Japan and imported to the UK in 2002Comes with a comprehensive service historyMuch-loved car used for continental touring
Registration - VSV 725Chassis No. - 33483M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 19,723Bold and brilliant in black-over-red paintwork, this example of Lanchester’s Fourteen Roadrider Deluxe is powered by 2,250cc six-cylinder overhead-valve detachable-head engine, matched to the the marque’s fluid flywheel and pre-selector transmission driving the rear wheels. ‘VSV 725’ is a beautiful car, even for the period, featuring a fastback rear with split rear windscreen, as well as traditional running boards, swooping wheel arches, flip-out indicators, rear-hinged front doors, and radiator-topping thermometer. The cabin is remarkably spacious up front thanks to the steering column mounted gear shifter, as well as wide-opening doors, and bench-style seats front and rear, trimmed in red leather, mirroring the colour of the carpets.Offered in highly original condition, ‘VSV 725’ is offered with a large amount of paperwork, including buff log-book, a selection of old tax disks, maintenance manual, and technical drawings. With just five previous keepers in more than 85 years, the Lanchester has been with the current owner for the past three years. Showing fewer than 20,000 miles indicated on the odometer, the overall condition is rated as very good overall by the vendor. The paintwork is considered ‘average’ but the interior and bodywork are thought of as ‘good’ and the engine, transmission, and electrics are all considered ‘excellent’.Rare 1930s six-cylinder saloonLarge folder of paperworkHighly original example inside and outThe Fourteen Roadrider Deluxe was Lanchester’s last model to go into production before the outbreak of World War II, launched in 1937. The lower-priced version of parent firm Daimler’s DB17 the Roadrider Deluxe used a number of shared parts with its more luxurious stablemate. Available in four-door saloon form only, the Fourteen Roadrider Deluxe was the second-generation model, with a new engine, chassis, and styling compared to the non-Roadrider predecessor, including independent front suspension. Also known as the Lanchester 14/2, the Fourteen Roadrider Deluxe saw production halted by the war, and not replaced until 1950 with a new Fourteen.
AC Ace 2.6 Ruddspeed Project Registration Number: N/A Chassis Number: N/A Recorded Mileage: N/A - Largely complete, with the exception of front clip and outer panels - Supplied with rare Ford Zephyr 2.6 inline-six engine Rare opportunity to produce an Ace to ultimate period specification Introduced in 1953, the AC Ace roadster and its closed Aceca coupe sibling were based on a chassis design by John Tojeiro, with four-wheel independent suspension and transverse leaf springs. The beautiful coachwork was inspired by early Ferrari barchettas. With both AC’s own 2-litre six and the Bristol 2-litre motors ending production in the late 1950s, a limited series of Ace roadsters were powered by Ford’s 2.6-litre overhead-valve inline-six, as used in the Zephyrs and Zodiacs of the period. The 2.6 proved to be the best Ace of all, with up to 170 bhp from the Ruddspeed-tuned engines. The engine was more compact than the AC or Bristol sixes, whilst the bodywork was redesigned with a lower bonnet line and the deletion of the “mustache” character line seen under the headlamps of earlier Aces. This body style ultimately became the template for Shelby’s earliest leaf-spring Cobras. On offer is a large collection of parts sourced to allow for the building of a Ford-engined AC Ace. The collection consists of a correct specification 2.6 Ace chassis frame, Ford 2.6 litre engine with triple SU carburettors, radiator, Jaguar overdrive gearbox, rear differential and a number of other items. Also included are suspension components such as front wishbones and uprights, rear suspension parts, front and rear leaf springs, front/rear brakes, hubs, shock absorbers, and four wider wheels. Bodywork comprises of original inner panels and floors to the boot area, with fittings such as seat frames, foot boxes, pedals, door locks, nudge bars, AC badges, fuel cap, instruments (speedo and rev. counter), switches, windscreen wiper motor and drive boxes, also front and rear lights. Using the above as a basis we understand it should be relatively straightforward to build up a rolling chassis, with a view to commissioning bodywork, paint and trim work to complete the project. With restored 2.6 litre Aces routinely on the market for £250,000 and above, this exciting project gives the new owner the unique opportunity to build a genuine Ace to their ideal personal specification. Notice to bidders: this project will be sold without title document on an auction bill of sale.
1958 Volkswagen Beetle Registration Number: 677 UXL Chassis Number: 1 814 608 Recorded Mileage: TBA - Well known award-winning show car - Originally delivered to Sweden in LHD The Volkswagen Beetle was produced from 1938 until 2003. With over 21 million manufactured in an air-cooled, rear-engined, rear-wheel drive configuration, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single design platform anywhere in the world. During the 1950s, the car was modified progressively; the obvious visual changes mostly concerned the rear windows. Towards the end of 1964, the height of the side windows and windscreen grew slightly, giving the cabin a less pinched look; this coincided with the introduction of a very slightly curved 'panoramic' windscreen. The same body appeared throughout 1966, with a 1300cc engine in place of the 1200cc engine; it was only in the 1973 model Super Beetle that it displayed an obviously curved windscreen. It has been regarded as something of a 'cult' car since its 1960's association with the hippie movement and surf culture. A well known example, this early 1957 Beetle was originally delivered to Sweden as a 1200cc Sedan de Luxe model, and first registered in January of 1958. The Beetle was finished in L41 Black with the options of a larger rear brake light reflector, uprated battery and laminated windscreen. The VW arrived into the UK in 2005, to be restored by marque specialists and subtly modified with lowered suspension and a redesigned interior. The paintwork was entrusted to well regarded bodyshop Paintbox, whilst the interior fitted with period-style bucket seats, trimmed by renowned VW upholsterer Bernard Newbury. A well known car on the show circuit in the early 2000s, since 2020 the Beetle has been stored as part of a larger collection, and will no doubt benefit from light recommissioning before being used once more. The Beetle is offered complete with UK V5C, copy of heritage certificate, receipts and previous correspondence.
1971 Maserati Indy 4.7 by Vignale Registration Number: AWW 477K Chassis Number: AM116 471112 Recorded Mileage: 15,208 kilometres - Subject to older restoration by Danish specialist Skallebolle The Maserati Indy debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1969 as a tribute to the Italian automaker’s 1939 and 1940 victories at the Indianapolis 500 with its 8CTF race cars. Designed by Vignale and built on a unibody structure, the Indy four-seater coupe bridged the gap between the Ghibli and the Mexico, its higher roofline offering more headroom for rear passengers compared to the Ghibli. The Indy launched with a 4,136-cubic-centimeter V-8 engine featuring double overhead camshafts and producing an impressive 260 horsepower. Maserati manufactured 436 examples in this spec before increasing engine displacement, first to 4.7 liters and finally to 4.9 liters. Standard equipment included a two-way adjustable steering column, leather upholstery, tinted electric windows, reclining seats, fog lamps, a heated rear windscreen, and a dashboard-mounted clock. Power steering, an automatic transmission, and a radio were optional. Production for the Indy ended in 1975 with a total of 1,102 examples produced, according to Maserati’s website. A 1971 example, we understand this later 4.7 litre Indy was supplied new in Milan before traveling first to the MIddle East and then back to Europe a few years later. The Indy was subject to a restoration in the 1990s in Denmark by Italian car specialist Skallebolle. We understand the work took some 800 hours and included a bare metal repaint in Rosso Fuoco, complemented by a tan leather interior, in addition to a comprehensive mechanical rebuild. In 2022 the Indy was treated to a further inspection and engine tune by an Italian sports car specialist. Sadly the history file documenting restoration and maintenance has been lost during an ownership change, however having inspected the car we can report that cosmetically the car presents very nicely, with attractive paintwork, chromework and interior, and a clean engine bay with evidence of fairly recent maintenance. The Indy started immediately and both idled and drove well on test. In our opinion, with well-proportioned sharp looks and long legged performance in abundance, this eminently usable GT would make a worthy addition to any collection. Accompanying the car is a Maserati-branded suitcase and UK V5C document.
