A 1972 MG B GT, registration number KJB 4L, chassis number GHD5-290028G, engine number 18V847F-H1574, teal blue. The evergreen MG B was launched in 1962 with the fast back GT version joining it in 1965. This GT has been in the current ownership for the past seven years, and during that time a detailed log of all maintenance and expenditure has been kept. The coachwork is finished in teal blue and the front seats are faced in black leather. The engine has been converted to run on unleaded petrol. The four speed gearbox is fitted with overdrive on third and fourth gears and the current owner has fitted optional extras, comprising rear fog lamps, twin air horns and rear seat belts to aid safety. During the present ownership the car has taken part in many classic car tours, shows and events and has proved very reliable. Reluctantly, the car is only for sale due to the owners recent ill health and must be sold. V5C, ***MOT to May 2012 (not May 2011)***, taxed to September 2011 See illustration Sold for 1600 A 1983 Land Rover Series III SWB, registration number DHP 485Y, chassis number SALLBAA11AA184572, engine number 36127106. The ever popular Landie has gone through several mechanical and cosmetic changes throughout its production run, but has always been a rugged and purposeful off-road vehicle, which is recognised worldwide. The Series III version was launched in 1971, in both long (109 inch chassis) and short (88 inch chassis) wheel base forms, with either two or four door body styles, and remained in production until 1985, when the new 90 took over the reins. This 21/4 litre petrol engined Landie has recently benefited from some mechanical overhauling, including a partial engine rebuild with reconditioned cylinder head, one new piston and ring, and a full service. The interior is fitted with grey cloth seats from Exmoor Trim, which are much more comfortable than the standard items. There are free-wheel front hubs (which aid economy and wear) and a tow bar and electrics fitted for towing duties. Accompanying the car is a large history file with service and maintenance receipts and old MOTs. The vendor informs us that the Land Rover is running well and is only for sale so he can concentrate his efforts on his Series I project.

The specifications have got more luxurious as the years have progressed and this four door is no exception. This example has a cloth interior, wood door cappings, electric windows and door mirrors, power assisted steering and original three spoke alloy wheels. The current owner informs us that the car drives very well and has covered limited miles in the last nine years. V5C, MOT to February 2012, no current tax See illustration Sold for 820

JRV 449X was imported in 1998 and it has had two registered keepers since. The second and current owner acquired the motorcycle in 1999. The XJ750 is equipped with a DOAC inline four cylinder engine and has shaft drive. During the current ownership the motorcycle has been MOT'd by Just Bikes of Shaftesbury. The history file contains the old MOT's from 1999 and a Haynes workshop manual. V5C, no current MOT or tax See illustration Sold for 950 A 1975 BMW 1602 two door saloon, registration number JFX 453N, chassis number 3561166, engine number 3561166. This unusual 1602 is finished in white with a blue interior and was purchased by its lady owner in 1978. Its first registered keeper is recorded as George Robert Knapman of Salisbury.

new front wings have been fitted. The car was last on the road in 2003. V5C, no current MOT or tax See illustration Sold for 920 A 1982 Triumph TR7, converted to a TR8, registration number OBV 3X, chassis number SATTPADJ7AA407413, engine number 11A60722. Built in the last few months of manufacture in 1981, this 1982 registered TR7 has had a full conversion to TR8 specification. The work was carried out by leading TR8 specialists, S&S Preparations, at a cost of 7,500 in 2005. This upgrade included the fitting of a rebuilt Rover SDI 3.5 litre V8 engine with Holley 390 carburettor and A&N air filters, modified gear box mounting, a Kenlow fan, stainless steel tubular manifolds, modified subframe and TR8 radiator. OBV 3X has been repainted in MG Rover White Gold, replacing the original Cashmere Gold. In 2006 the current owner fitted a new hood with zip down rear window and wind deflector, black leather seats, black interior and a walnut dashboard. The vendor informs us that the current mileage of 76,600 can be warranted by the past MOT's, which are contained in the history file, and since its last MOT in November 2009 the car has only covered 1,900 miles. Although recently this TR8 conversion has had little use, it is only being sold due to loss of garage space. V5C, no current MOT, SORN See illustration Sold for 2400 A 1965 Bristol 408 Mk I, registration number HPF 399C, chassis number 4087063. The Bristol 408 was produced between 1963 and 1966 in Mk I & Mk II versions. The 408 was the second model to incorporate the Chrysler V8 engine in the Bristol model range. The 407, the 408's predecessor, was a first, and was a major departure from previous Bristol models, which had always used their own six cylinder engines. HPF 399C, a Mk I version, was first registered on 13th April 1965 and was finished with grey coachwork and grey leather interior. The current custodian has prepared the bodywork for the final top coat of paint. At present the chassis has been repaired and repair sections have been welded into the inner wheel arches and other panels. The body has received coats of etch primer and a guide coat for final flatting down before the application of the top coats of paint. The leather interior appears in quite good condition and would respond favourably to a good clean and feed. The vendor informs us that HPF 399C is running with an oil pressure of 35/40 psi when warm and has uprated front brakes supplied by Coopercraft. This exciting and rare barn find restoration project (83 Mk I & Mk II 408s were manufactured) now offers the next owner an opportunity to finish the restoration at their own pace, benefiting from having had a lot of the hard work and expense already carried out. V5C, no current MOT or tax See illustration Sold for 2700 EXTRA LOT: A 1975 Honda CD175 Motorcycle, registration number JPK 909N, frame number CD175-3046737, engine number CD175-E-3050025, blue. This Honda would appear in very original condition and has been in storage for a number of years, with the last MOT expiring in 1998. V5C, no MOT or tax See illustration Sold for 0 EXTRA LOT: A 1955 Ford Consul, registration number TYB 602, chassis number EOTA178925, engine number EOTA178925, green.

EXTRA LOT: A 1974 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow I, registration number RLJ 334M, chassis number SRH17819, engine number 17819, two-tone blue. This running and driving Silver Shadow will require restoration after many years of dry storage. V5C, no current MOT or tax Sold for 1700 WITHDRAWN: A 1978 MG B Roadster, registration number UPA 437S, chassis number GHN5-452299G, engine number 13B847-20174. This MG B Roadster had a comprehensive restoration during the 90's. The work included new sills, castle sections, full re-spray, engine rebuild with new piston rings, conrods and re-conditioned unleaded cylinder head, overhauled carburettors, rebuilt front and rear suspension, new front and rear brakes with new discs and rear shoes, new hood, black interior, stainless steel exhaust and door and window seals. The car has covered a believed genuine 84,000 miles from new and only 1,000 in the last thirteen years as verified by the old MOT's. There is an extensive history file with receipts and old MOT's. V5C, MOT to July 2012, no current tax See illustration Sold for 0 A 1957 Morris Minor two door saloon, registration number NMO 743, chassis number FBP11/488258, engine number N46258. This saloon is finished in the rare Morris Minor colour of pale ivory with maroon interior and fitted a 948 cc engine. V5C, MOT to April 2012, tax exempt (taxed to March 2012) See illustration Sold for 0 A 1967 Sunbeam Alpine Mk 5, registration number LJB 20E. This Alpine will make a great car when the restoration is completed. A previous owner striped the original body shell and acquired a rust free Californian imported body and stripped the shell to bare metal. It was then professionally re-sprayed in red. He then swapped the engine and running gear into the newly painted shell. The inner panels still have the original welds clearly visible. There is a new dashboard and all the original interior to refit. The car runs and drives under its own steam and sits on Minilite alloy wheels. With most of the hard work already done, this exciting project will be a very straight forward restoration to complete. V5C, no current MOT or tax See illustration Sold for 0 A 1976 Mini Clubman, registration number SGN 237R, chassis number XL2W2386629A, engine number 99HA9AP102132. The Sir Alec Issigonis designed Mini was launched in 1959 just at the dawn of the swinging sixties and was to become a British icon of that period. Starring in the British classic film The Italian Job, and it became a celebrity accessory adopted by pop stars and film stars alike. This low mileage and original Mini has covered a believed 55,000 miles from new. Finished in blue with a blue velour interior carrying the rare option of automatic transmission. There is a good history file accompanying the Mini with past MOTs and service receipts. These small estate cars make very practical classic cars which are capable of everyday use. V5C, MOT and taxed to September 2011 See illustration Sold for 0 A 1974 Morris Marina Camper Van, registration number WYC 437M. This charming Morris Marina was converted by Suntour into a very rare and practical camper van with all home comforts. These include a pop up roof to aid head room, storage cupboards, gas grill and two rings (with spare gas bottles), a double bed (which converts from the rear seats) and even the kitchen sink. This very

24

original camper does not currently have an MOT or tax, but is running and driveable. She has been in dry storage for a few years and will require a light recommissioning to gain an MOT. V5C, ***MOT to July 2012, no current tax*** See illustration Sold for 1000 A 1962 Hillman Minx Series III C Saloon, registration number JJK 283, chassis number BO212467H-HSO, engine number BO212467H-HSO. This well presented Minx Saloon is finished in grey with a red leather interior. JJK 283 benefits from having electronic ignition, new clutch, new head gasket and valves, rear shocks and a recommissioned starter motor. The mileage of approximately 80,000 miles is supported by old MOTs contained in the history file which also includes numerous repair bills. V5C, MOT to February 2012, taxed to April 2012 See illustration Sold for 1964.28 A 1966 Jaguar Mk II 3.4, registration number FOF 338D, chassis number 170463DN, engine number KJ8903-8, body number EO65468. Jaguar announced its new compact sports saloon at the end of 1955, the first lucky customers taking delivery in 1956. The Mk II version became available in October 1959 with 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 XK engine options. FOF 338D was supplied by Henley's of London on 11th February 1966 to its first custodian, the Dunlop Rubber Co-Ltd, St James, London, SW1. A very desirable manual overdrive example, FOF 338D is finished in dark blue which complements the grey leather interior. There is a full and comprehensive history documenting maintenance and restoration. This includes service history with Henley's until 1972, service vouchers, handbooks, correspondence, specialist receipts, MOT's from 1969, tax discs from February 1967 and details of a bare metal rebuild by Southern Classics in 1994, which was done just prior to the current ownership. During the present ownership, the Jaguar has been maintained to an extremely high standard with no expense spared. Recent improvements include a Kenlow fan, high torque starter motor, a stainless steel exhaust, power assisted steering, Cooper Craft disc brakes conversion, chrome wire wheels with new tyres and a Moto-lita wood rim steering wheel. The vendor informs us that FOF 338D has been extremely reliable, completing several Continental tours, performing faultlessly. This beautifully prepared and fettled example of the iconic Mk II is ready for the next owner to enjoy as it has been correctly maintained. V5C, MOT to June 2012, tax exempt (taxed to November 2011) See illustrations Sold for 17500 A 1948 Jowett Bradford CB Light Van, registration number GOT 244, chassis number D8CB15827, engine number D8CB15827. The Jowett Motor Manufacturing Company was founded by William and Benjamin Jowett in 1904, making their first car in 1906. They were initially based at Back Burlington Street in Bradford but moved to the Springfield Works on Bradford Road in Idle after WWI, when the name of the company changed to Jowett Cars Ltd. Various models were produced between the wars, using their flat twin and flat four engines including the Kestrel, Seven, Weasel and Ten. After WWII the two cylinder engines were discontinued from the car range but continued in the commercials in 1005 cc form until production ceased in 1953. GOT 244 was first registered in Southampton on 20th August 1948. Little of its early history is known until 1966, when the van was owned by a Mr John Henry Woolford of

27

28

29

30

Swindon. The next owner, Mr Anthony Turner, discovered the van in a Swindon scrap yard in 1975 and after some initial small repairs used it as his every day transport for many years. There were subsequently three further owners until the current owner acquired the vehicle in 2009. The attractive maroon body was built by Briggs Motor Bodies Ltd of Dagenham, which complements the brown interior. GOT 244 has obviously been restored in the past but unfortunately there isn't any supporting history. The vendor informs us that GOT 244 performs very well on today's roads and returns excellent fuel economy. Accompanying the van are an owner's handbook, spares manual, some old MOT's, maintenance receipts and RF60 continuation log book. With light commercials becoming increasingly popular with enthusiasts, GOT 244 now offers the next owner an opportunity to purchase a rare van, which would be welcomed at both commercial and classic car events. V5C, MOT to July 2012 ***(awaiting MOT certificate)***, tax exempt (taxed to June 2012) See illustrations Sold for 0 A 1975 BMW 320 automatic, registration number OBA 73P, chassis number 4260050. This BMW 320 is believed to be the oldest known right hand drive survivor, leaving the Bavarian motor works production line in November 1975, arriving at the Bridgwater BMW dealership where it was registered to first owner in January 1976 and had the distinctive registration number CYB 1J. The second owner purchased the car in 1978 and the current owner acquired it in 1997. At this time the vendor re-sprayed the bonnet, ***the boot*** and the sides and carried out local repairs to the B pillars. A new rear bumper centre section was fitted and the wheels were refurbished. All other areas remained untouched and there were just 66,000 miles on the clock. Since the initial refurbishment no further remedial work has been necessary apart from regular servicing and replacement of consumables. This extremely original BMW still retains its original tool kit and Blaupunkt radio. OBA 73P is finished in blue with a vinyl interior. The history file contains the owner's handbook, radio manual, a four page article featuring this car in Total BMW (September 2003) and some service history. For the BMW collector this must be a wonderful opportunity to purchase a three series with continuous history and the added cachet of being believed to be the oldest known survivor. V5C, MOT to October 2011, ***taxed to August 2011 (not October 2011)*** See illustrations Sold for 0 EXTRA LOT: A 1965 BSA C15 Motorcycle, registration number GDT 929C, frame number 47334, engine number C252829, black. This BSA C15 would appear in very good condition for its age. GDT 929C was last on the road in 2008 and has been dry stored since. There is a good run of old MOTs and tax discs back to 1997, which accompany the motorcycle. V5C, no MOT, on SORN See illustration Sold for 1400 EXTRA LOT: A 1959 Vespa 150, registration number 147 UXC, frame number VBA1T-31015, engine number VBA1M-31839, metallic blue. This rare Vespa was restored by a previous owner to a very high standard. The scooter was last on the road in 2010 and has been kept in dry storage since. V5C, no MOT, currently on SORN See illustration Sold for 0 A 1980 Reliant Scimitar GTC automatic, registration number GOX 917W. The stylish GTC four seat convertible version of the SE6 GT came onto the market in

31

32

1980 and remained in production until 1986. There were a total of 442 production models made, making it the rarest of the Scimitars. This automatic is in quite extraordinarily original condition, having been purchased by the current owner in 1981 from the supplying dealer (original bill of sale on file) with just over 1,000 miles on the clock, having been used as a demonstrator. The Scimitar Owner's Club have informed the owner that they believe this GTC to be the most original on the road today. The current mileage of less than 45,000 miles is verified with MOTs. Finished in a very distinctive metallic antelope with a contrasting fawn and saddle tan cloth and vinyl interior, the car further benefits from other refinements such as electric windows, mirrors and aerial, power assisted steering, stereo radio, stainless steel exhaust, double duck hood and an extremely rare and desirable works hard top with heated rear window. This GTC is in wonderful original condition and is a very practical and stylish four seat convertible alternative to a Triumph Stag, Mercedes Benz SL or Saab, and with its robust and relatively cheap Ford engine and running gear, it should be able to be maintained to a high standard at a reasonable cost. V5C, MOT to June 2012, taxed to October 2011 See illustrations Sold for 4000 A 1982 MG B Roadster, registration number JBK 8X, chassis number GHN5487151, engine number 30173. The MG B was introduced in 1962 to replace the MG A and was a modern design. It was quite a departure from previous models as it had a monocoque body and not a separate chassis as used in all other MG cars. A GT version was added to complement the roadster in 1965. Production continued until 1980 and various cosmetic changes took place throughout, the most visually obvious being the introduction of black rubber bumpers and increased ride height from 1975. This particular rubber bumper MG B is unusual as it was first registered in 1982, two years after production had ceased. The body is finished in very bright Inca yellow, and the interior has candy stripe orange and black upholstered seats fitted. The dashboard has been upgraded with walnut veneers and there is also a wood-rim steering wheel fitted. The engine benefits from having an unleaded cylinder head and the four speed gearbox has overdrive, for more relaxed high speed motoring. Further improvements include a stainless steel exhaust and painted wire wheels. There are maintenance and repair bills for the last 10 years in the history file. This well maintained MG B has been used by the current owner on a regular basis, including commuting, and has always proved very reliable. He informs us that the car is only for sale to enable the purchase of a vintage car to use in his retirement. V5C, MOT to June 2012, taxed to October 2011 See illustrations Sold for 2400 A 1959 MG A 1600 Mk I Roadster, registration number YFO 628, chassis number GHNL74498. In 1955 MG launched the new aerodynamically styled MG A in both roadster and fixed head coup body styles, initially powered by the 1500 cc four cylinder engine. In 1962 the Mk II was introduced with disc front brakes and engine capacity increased to 1600 cc. Alongside the standard cars, the exotic twin cam engined car was available between 1958 and 1960, which was sold in very small numbers and is very desirable today. This MG A Roadster was originally a left hand drive car, which was exported to the west coast of America.

33

34

It was imported from California in 1987 ***and was restored by the MG & Austin Healey specialists, Murray-Scott-Nelson, then this MG A spent time in Holland until it was imported into the UK in 1996 and converted to right hand drive****. In the current ownership since 1996, YFO 628 has been maintained to a high standard and enjoyed and used on a regular basis. YFO 628 is finished in Chariot Red with a black leather interior. She is fitted with a double duck hood, tonneau cover, cockpit cover and side screens. She is also fitted with an MG B five bearing engine with unleaded cylinder head, three branch manifold, stainless steel exhaust and 1 inch SU carburettors. For reliability, a digital electric fuel pump and Kenlow fan are also fitted. In addition, to aid the luggage carrying capacity (not a strong point with MG A's), there is a chrome luggage rack fitted. There is a large history file accompanying the car, with restoration receipts, photos of the restoration in progress, service bills, old MOTs, American title papers and current maintenance receipts from Whitchampton Garage. ***The MG A comes with some spares and accessories including two aero screens and cockpit cover***. The vendor informs us that YFO 628 has been a joy to own and has been extremely reliable during his ownership. V5C, ***MOT to August 2012 (not August 2011)***, tax exempt See illustrations Sold for 0 A 1927 Rolls Royce 20 hp Park Ward Tourer, registration number YT 7222, chassis number GRJ36, engine number S91. Rolls Royce announced its new small car in 1922, which was designed to meet the harsher economic climate of the time. They were built with the owner/driver in mind, rather than the larger luxurious 40/50 models, which were invariably chauffeur driven. Initially available between 1922 and 1925 with the rear brake chassis and three speed gearbox, this was subsequently improved from 1925 with the introduction of front servo assisted brakes and four speed gearbox, both chassis configurations employing the same 3127 cc six cylinder engines. Rolls Royce found the 20 hp chassis very popular with clients and 2940 were sold between 1922 and 1929. GRJ36, an extremely original four braked chassis car, retains its original Park Ward tourer body, hood, interior, engine and running gear. The car has been in the current family ownership since 1973. At the time of purchase the odometer read 39,350 miles and between 1973 and 1989 mileage rose to 50,000 miles. In 1989 the car was put into dry storage where it remained until recently. GRJ36 was removed from hibernation earlier this year and a programme of recommissioning has taken place to obtain a new MOT for the first time in over twenty years. The bodywork is finished in light green over black with a beautiful patented dark blue leather interior, black canvas hood, tonneau and hood cover. The side screens are present, the rear passengers have the benefit of an Auster screen to protect them when the hood is lowered and there is a side mounted spare wheel, a large boa constrictor horn and rear trunk fitted. Such original and low mileage Rolls Royces rarely come onto the market these days and as such are very sought after by collectors. It is hoped that the next custodian will preserve GRJ36 in the same manner as the current owners have. RF60, V5, no current MOT, tax exempt See inside back cover and other illustrations Sold for 0 A 1968 Jaguar 240, registration number TAB 16F, chassis number 152131DN, engine number 7J2361-8, British Racing Green. Jaguar's 240 and 340 were the

35

36

37

last throw of the dice for their compact saloon models, which were first seen in 1955 with the Mk I and subsequently metamorphosed into the Mk II from 1959. TAB 16F has benefited from a substantial rebuild in recent years, including a bare metal repaint in British Racing Green (photographs on file), new carpets, a repolished dashboard and door cappings, re-chromed bumpers, a new clutch and flywheel and numerous other service items. The interior is finished in black ambla, there is a four speed gearbox with overdrive fitted and she sits on steel wheels with chrome embellishers. The history file contains maintenance and restoration receipts, old MOT's, photographs of the bodywork restoration and a photocopy of a previous V5. TAB 16F is now ready for the next custodian to drive and enjoy. V5C, ***MOT to June 2012 (not August 2011)***, tax exempt (taxed to December 2011) See illustrations Sold for 0 A 1959 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite, registration number 515 KRB, chassis number AN5-10055, engine number 12CCDAH6987. In Iris Blue, it has the larger 1275 cc engine and gearbox fitted, and has recently received uprated disc brakes to the front and a new brake/clutch master cylinder.

The iconic 300SL Gullwing made its debut in 1952 and was powered by a six cylinder three litre 215 bhp fuel injected engine. The Gullwing was joined in time by a roadster version. The Gullwing also saw great racing success with a win at Le Mans in 1952 and the SLR roadster version won the 1955 Mille Miglia, driven by Stirling Moss with his co driver Dennis Jenkinson. This Anton Ostermeier version of the iconic Gullwing is an authentic re-creation built to exacting standards using modern Mercedes Benz 300 engine and running gear. Finished in silver, with a beautifully trimmed full red leather interior with the correct white tilt steering wheel. It further benefits from having fitted luggage and a discreet stereo system. It is believed that it is the only known example in the United Kingdom. The car has a full Mercedes service history which confirms the odometer reading of 4,700 kilometres. With real Gullwings now commanding over half a million pounds, this re-creation, which is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing, offers the enthusiast the opportunity to purchase a car with the presence and sensational looks of the original without any of the inherent problems associated with an iconic car from the 1950s.

The AC Motor Car Company may well be best known for iconic models such as the Cobra and Ace, but they also make saloon and touring cars of great quality, using their six cylinder 2 litre engine, which went through various performance improvements until 1963. The rare Buckland Sports Tourer was manufactured between 1948 and 1952. The chassis incorporated the six cylinder triple SU carburettored engine and the aluminum and ash framed body was constructed by Buckland Bodyworks, New Royston, Hertfordshire, and according to AC records, there were only 84 manufactured. MRO 353 has a fascinating history. It was the car used in the factory advertising, and appeared on the front cover of the Buckland brochure. It was also the subject of a road test article in September 1952 Autosport magazine, where the journalist described the car as 'A 2 litre six cylinder open car of all round merit and decided individuality'. The car was purchased by the current owner in 1971, after a superficial restoration had been abandoned. Fortunately, most of the original fittings had been retained, so a more sympathetic restoration was carried out, and the car took to the road once again in 1972. Due to the owner being posted to Lossiemouth (Scotland) in 1973, MRO 353 was garaged and remained on blocks for the next 38 years. The intention was to restore and re-commission the car as a retirement project, but owing to family pressures and lack of an equipped workshop, the decision has been made to reluctantly sell the car. During the rudimentary restoration in 1971, the engine was overhauled, using new Thames Ditton supplied wet liners. Unfortunately, traces of water were found in the oil, so another rebuild commenced and was periodically revisited during the long lay-up, but never completed. The owner's intention was to get an AC specialist to restore the engine with new parts, which will be supplied with the car. To aid the restoration, the owner has amassed a large quantity of very rare and scarce parts, including an engine sump, crank case, cylinder head and rocker cover, valves, valve seats, a cylinder head and rocker cover gasket seats, two starter motors, three carburettors, fuel pumps, water

42

pumps, a gearbox, a set of front and rear wings, red leather seats and numerous other useful items. MRO 353 now offers the next owner an exciting opportunity to restore an historically important AC motor car, and when finished, it would be eligible for numerous sporting events, as well as being a welcome sight at any classic car show. V5, no MOT or tax See illustrations Sold for 10000 A 1997 Bentley Brooklands, registration number P834 PLO, chassis number SCBZE20C3VCH59963, engine number 88364L410M/TTV. The Bentley Brooklands was introduced in 1992 as the replacement for the previous Mulsanne and Eight models. It was powered by a normally aspirated 6.75 litre V8 engine, driven through a four speed automatic gearbox. This metallic royal blue car has all the luxury one could ever wish for, with a sumptuous interior having grey leather seats with dark blue piping, a grey leather headlining and dark blue wool carpets edged in grey leather. The luxury fittings don't stop there for the lucky passengers, as there are also electric windows, seats, air conditioning, cruise control, CD stereo and other refinements at their finger tips. Accompanying the car, which has travelled a believed 79,000 miles from new, are all the service books, owner's handbooks, some service receipts and a good run of old MOT's. These Bentleys now offer excellent value, having all the power and luxury of a true gentleman's express for Ford Mondeo money, and this car would certainly enhance any driveway. V5C, MOT to April 2012, taxed to September 2011 See illustrations Sold for 0 A 1933 Rolls Royce 20/25 Hooper Four Light Sports Saloon, registration number AXF 11, chassis number GBA-29, engine number A-6-X. The trend for ever heavier coachwork being employed on the 20 hp chassis of the late 1920's was having a detrimental effect on performance. Rolls Royce's solution to the problem was to increase the engine capacity from just over 3 litres to 3699 cc, which raised the power output by 25 hp and the new 20/25 model was created. The 20/25 chassis was produced for seven years, and over that time Rolls Royce made many improvements, including rises in the engine compression ratio in 1930 and 1932. Also in 1932, synchromesh was introduced in third and fourth gears, and a oneshot centralised lubrication system, thermostatically controlled radiator grill shutters and an electric fuel gauge also appeared. The coachwork, as usual, was executed by a coachbuilder of choice and in this case, the firm of Hooper was chosen. GBA-29 has been in the same family ownership since 1954, and has a fascinating and comprehensive history, which can be traced back to 1946. The history includes a detailed log, kept since October of that year, outlining all expenditure and maintenance carried out, with the mileage recorded at the same time. The file mentions overseas motoring holidays, where GBA-29 was part of the entourage. These include the 1969 20 Ghost Club tour of America, with a detailed itinerary of the 1,900 mile tour, the 1975 20 Ghost Club tour of Norway, describing the 1,643 miles covered, and its time in Monte Carlo, where it took part in the Concourse de Elegance (number 17). In addition to the log, the vast history file has numerous bills, correspondence, photographs (including the original owner, Mr Henry S Frost, and a charming photograph of the car in Casino Square) and a run of service and restoration records from McKenzie Guppy starting in 1982 to the present day, detailing all expenditure totalling nearly

44

45

46

50,000 (including an engine rebuild for 18,000). As one would expect from a car which has had such loving and caring ownership, GBA-29 is in excellent condition. The coachwork is finished in black over green, there is a large sunroof fitted to enjoy the summer sunshine, and the green leather interior is mostly original apart from the green carpets and front seat bolsters. The engine ran very smoothly when viewed, an electric fuel pump has been fitted to aid reliability (original auto vac retained) and tool kits are all present and correct. Rolls Royce with such long term ownership seldom come onto the market these days, and when they do they offer not only a fabulous car, but a slice of social history.

The iconic 911 has been in production since 1963 when it was unveiled to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The original design has seen a myriad of cosmetic and mechanical changes since then, but the original outline shape still remains true to this day, showing testament to a great design. This example has been with the current owner for a number of years and has recently benefited from some refurbishment. The body work has been resprayed in the original graphite grey, a colour that suits the car well. The black leather interior has received localised repair to the driver's seat, and the seals on the Targa roof and doors have all been replaced. There is a good history file which accompanies the car, detailing continuous repair and maintenance, and old MOT's. This 911, with its current MOT and tax, is ready for immediate use and with its Targa roof the next owner can enjoy the rest of the summer sunshine.

The current owner bought 77 ECH in 1981 when a bare metal restoration was commenced (with photographic evidence), and finished a few years later. The car was driven for only approximately 50 miles and placed into dry storage with its last MOT expiring in 1997.

The Rolls Royce Silver Cloud saw the introduction of the all new V8 engine, which would see service in all subsequent Rolls Royce and Bentley models, right up to the modern Arnage. This rare long wheel base version of the standard SII afforded the rear seat passengers extra leg room, which appealed to both the family owner driver and the chauffeur driven owner. LCC34 is finished in a discreet shade of Midnight blue, with a dove grey leather interior. The car has been well maintained by its previous owners and there is a good history file, with receipts from respected specialists including Specialist Cars (South West) Ltd.

This metallic gold 300 SL is no exception having all the luxury goodies one could ask for, including a full black leather interior, electric adjustable seats, central locking, electric windows, electric mohair hood, power assisted steering and many other refinements. Also, for the winter months, there is a factory hard top, which transforms the car into a stylish coup.

The Rolls Royce Silver Shadow and T1 Bentleys were first seen by the general public in 1965. They used the previous S3's V8 6230 cc engine, which would be subsequently increased to 6750 cc for the Shadow II and T2 models. This particular Silver Shadow II has been used sparingly over the last 32 years, and has covered less than 37,000 miles. The walnut coachwork is offset by a cream Everflex roof, which in turn complements the cream and brown piped leather interior. A service history accompanies the car, outlining maintenance and service works by Rolls Royce specialists including Jack Barclay, and there is also reference to past owners, including the Qatar Embassy. Silver Shadows which have such low mileage and service history offer the ultimate in luxury and refinement.

The MG B was launched in 1962 and was the first MG to utilise a monocoque structure rather than a separate chassis and body which had always been employed with all previous MG models. This very original Roadster is an early pull door handle model, which has had only four owners from new, and has always resided in Somerset. The first owner was a Mr. Lance Clark, a member of the Clarks shoe dynasty, who took delivery of the car from Valley Motors, Bathpool, Monkton near Taunton in 1965. The second owner was a manager with the Clarks shoe company, and third and fourth owners, who have owned the car for the last 25 years were neighbours in the village of Long Sutton. The coachwork is finished in a most attractive and rare iris blue. The

55

interior is trimmed in black leather with blue piping and has a nice patina. She also benefits from having a four speed gearbox with overdrive, full tonneau cover, hood and a tow bar. There is a good history file accompanying the car with past MOT and service history back to 1988 and the original passport to service with three service stamps. Original early MG Bs are becoming increasingly rare to find and with such an interesting history this car surely is a must for an MG enthusiast.

The MG A was launched in 1955 with the new aerodynamic styled body, which was a complete departure from the previous vintage styling of the T series cars. Initially available with the 1489 cc engine, the MG A was upgraded to 1588 cc engine in 1959, and disc brakes were employed on the front wheels. As well as the standard models, MG produced a special twin cam version which was in production for only two years between 1958-60 and is now extremely rare and collectable. This beautiful original right hand drive Mk I 1600 Roadster was restored by the previous owner in 1979 and there is an album detailing the initial restoration and subsequent fastidious maintenance for the next 25 years, with photographs and full detailed notes. The car was purchased by the current owner from Beaulieu garage in 2006 and the same care and attention has been lavished upon it, including a re-trimmed maroon leather interior. The coach work is finished in black with a recently fitted grey hood by Marksdanes Ltd, the interior is as good as new and there are red and black full tonneau covers fitted for privacy and protection when the hood is not in use. The sparkling black coachwork is offset by re-chromed bumpers and new chrome wire wheels and tyres (a separate set of painted wire wheels accompanies the vehicle), also there is a stainless steel luggage rack fitted to increase the limited luggage space. As previously mentioned, the history file contains an album detailing the restoration and maintenance up to 2004, service, restoration receipts incurred by the current owner, old MOTs, MG magazine articles and a Heritage certificate. This charming MG A has been maintained to a very high standard and would be a worth while inclusion to any car collection, and is only for sale so the vendor can concentrate on finishing the restoration of a TR6.

The 1973 RSR is the wide body full fat race version of the iconic RS and holds a special place in Porsche history as it was the first homologation of a production car. This RSR recreation has been based on a 1969 911T, which was first registered in September of that year and its original colour was red. A comprehensive restoration and recreation has been carried out, with the body stripped of paint and RSR wide metal wheel arches, bumpers and whale tail incorporated into the body. The body was then fully repainted in white and new RSR decals were applied. The 2.4 litre engine was rebuilt with new pistons and rings, decoked heads, lapped valves, lightweight racing flywheel, triple racing clutch plate, twin triple 38 mm carburettors. The running gear incorporated new Bilstein shock absorbers, uprated front brakes with S type calipers and discs, 915 gearbox with quick shift, and the repositioning of the oil cooler to the front fender (a modification which ensures much cooler engine running). The interior has been stripped of all equipment and superfluous weight and incorporates a fully FIA compliant welded-in roll cage, Cobra bucket seats, four point race harnesses, lightweight door cards with leather door pulls, passenger fire extinguisher and lightweight carpets. The history file contains photographs and a CD of the restoration in progress, receipts and general information. The subject of many hours of restoration, this RSR recreation would make a brilliant track day or hill climb car, but unlike a lot of recreations, because of its original 1969 build date, it would make an excellent starting point for an historic FIA group 4 racing car. With most of the performance, all of the looks, and a fraction of the price of a real Porsche RSR, the next owner is offered a lot of bang for their buck.

Production of the Mk I Zephyr began in February 1951 and ran until April 1956, when the Mk II became available. The Zephyr VI was available in three body styles: four door saloon, the

estate version by Abbotts of Farnham, and the two door convertible with electric hydraulic powered hood manufactured by Carbodies of Coventry. All of the Zephyr and the up market Zodiac models were powered by the 2262 cc straight six engine, producing over 60 bhp, which enabled the cars to travel at speeds exceeding 80 miles per hour. RYU 170, a very rare convertible version, finished in striking two tone coachwork of maroon over cream with a contrasting maroon white piped leather interior and maroon soft top (which rises very smoothly at a the touch of a button), is also a star of the big screen having been used in the film, Dance with a Stranger. The current owner purchased the car in 2002 from Neil Tee, a well known character in Ford Zephyr/Ford Zodiac circles. Since owning the car he has re-built the engine with hardened valves and fitted a break servo and six branch exhaust manifold. RYU 170 also has a manual overdrive gearbox and a full tonneau cover for privacy and protection when the hood is lowered. There is a large history file accompanying the vehicle with numerous receipts, including the recent engine rebuild, general maintenance and repair bills.

This rare drop head coup has been in dry storage for a number of years, having its engine rebuilt to 3 litre specification by the well known and respected Aston Martin and Lagonda engineer Ray Buckley, at a cost of nearly 40,000, with a new aluminium cylinder head and crankshaft. The elegant coachwork is finished in Old English white. There is a black mohair hood and hood cover, which is offset by nicely patinated original blue leather seats and door cards. The car also has the desirable floor gear change instead of the usual column change. With its freshly rebuilt engine the car will require a programme of recommissioning and a new MOT. The new owner of this desirable Lagonda will have to register the car in the UK and once this has been completed, the original Swedish number plates and a copy of the V5C and the new MOT are required to be returned to the Swedish owner so the car can be removed from the Swedish car

It comes with a good amount of service history and maintenance from the early 1980's onwards, including bills from Kent Sports Cars (now UK Sports Cars), Christopher Neil Matt and the London Lotus Centre, and includes a replacement wiring loom, a cylinder head overhaul, replacement Rotoflex couplings and carburettor overhaul, and more recently the clutch cylinder and engine mountains have been replaced and the front calipers rebuilt. V5C, MOT to December 2011, ***taxed to November 2011 (not December 2011)*** See illustrations Sold for 0 A 1976 Porsche 911, registration number NDW 911P. The year 1963 saw the unveiling of the new 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The evergreen iconic design has seen numerous mechanical and cosmetic changes during its long production, but the original outline shape has always remained the same, surely testament to a great design. This very well maintained 911 has Platinum Diamant coachwork with a tan vinyl and cloth interior, sports steering wheel (original supplied), electric windows, mirrors and sunroof. The car is currently fitted with Minilite style wheels, with recently fitted new tyres (original cookie cutter alloys supplied). The car has recently been fitted with a new oil cooler and front windscreen. This is not your usual run of the mill 911, it has good service history and looks very bright and purposeful on its Minilite wheels. V5C, MOT to July 2012, no current tax See illustrations Sold for 0 A 1952 Bristol 401, registration number XS 8401, chassis number 4011040, engine number 85C1947. Bristol cars have become known as the connoisseur's car with their aircraft quality construction and discreet but purposeful styling. Bristol's first car, the 400, was introduced in 1946, based on BMW's tooling liberated from Eisench after WWII, and essentially combines the best components

of the pre WWII models, mating the 326 chassis and the race developed engine of the 328, clothed in an aluminum body. The 401 was introduced in 1948 and remained in production until 1953 with 611 leaving the factory. Mechanically it was similar to the previous 400 model apart from the SU carburettors which were changed to Solex's. These increased the horse power to 85 from a previous 80, and the chassis was increased in length to accommodate the new Touring designed aerodynamic bodywork. This particular 401 has only had two owners. The first was Mr P H Newman of Burnley, who took delivery on 21st March 1952, and the second Mr Robert Moule, who purchased the car in 1994. Mr Moule then undertook a full restoration of the car, which has know nicely mellowed. Since the restoration, Mr Moule used the car sparingly, covering approximately 200 miles per year and there are old MOTs to verify the mileage. XS 8401 is finished in a very attractive colour combination of British Racing Green with a beautiful cream leather interior, which is complemented by a most appealing Art Deco inspired dashboard. Bristols of this quality and low ownership are becoming increasingly hard to find. When compared to their contemporaries such as Aston Martin and Alvis, which now command much higher prices, they perhaps offer the true enthusiast an opportunity to own a hand built car at a relatively affordable price. V5C, MOT to May 2012, tax exempt (taxed to August 2011) See illustrations Sold for 19500 A 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster, registration number WCG 275N, chassis number 1S1976, engine number 7S12634SA. Jaguar captured the world's imagination when Sir William Lyons unveiled the new E-Type at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show. Such was the demand for test drives and photo shots, Sir William had to call for a second car to be driven overnight from Coventry. The E-Type's beauty hasn't diminished over the last 50 years, and is still as popular today as ever. Initially available with a 3.8 litre XK engine, which was subsequently enlarged to 4.2 litres, the final cars employed the mighty 5.3 litre V12. WCG 275N, a very original and desirable manual car, has believed to have covered 52,000 miles from new. In the current ownership since 1984, the car has benefited from being maintained by the same Jaguar specialist. Finished in bright red with a black leather interior and sitting on sparkling chrome wire wheels (replaced in 2006 with new tyres). Also she has full weather gear comprising double duck hood with cover and a full factory fitted tonneau cover. Over the years WCG 275N has been maintained to a high standard receiving a new clutch, universal joints and a gearbox overhaul in 1997, all new hoses in 2010 and the aforementioned wheels and tyres in 2006. WCG 275N was also featured in the Andrew Morland book E-Type Jaguar. It is expected that the car will be fully serviced and have a new MOT for the auction, which will allow the new owner to enjoy the 50th anniversary celebrations and the rest of the summer in style. V5C, ***MOT to June 2012 (not July 2012)***, currently on SORN See illustrations Sold for 32000 A 1956 Bentley S Type, registration number SYE 313, chassis number 8249CM, engine number BC374. The Bentley S Type (retrospectively known as the S1) was introduced in 1955, and replaced the previous R Type. A visually larger car than the R Type, it was powered by an enlarged 4887 cc overhead valve version

69

of the R Type's six cylinder engine, which propelled the car on to a top speed of 120 mph and achieved a 0-60 time of 13 seconds. This extremely elegant Bentley is finished in the traditional colour of Shell Grey over Tudor, which is complemented by the sumptuous red leather and walnut interior. SYE 313 has always been enthusiast maintained, and the large history file, which includes 27 old MOTs and an owner's handbook, substantiates the time and care lavished on her. This car epitomises the style, grace and luxury of the 1950's gentleman's conveyance, and should offer the next custodian many years of enjoyable motoring. V5C, MOT to June 2012, tax exempt (taxed to May 2012)See illustrations Sold for 15500 A 1961 Jaguar Mk II 3.8 litre sports saloon, registration number RSU 733, chassis number P203235B/W, engine number LB1299/8. The new generation of compact Jaguar saloons came to the market in 1956 with the Mk I powered by the ever popular straight six engines in 2.4 and 3.4 litre capacities. They employed unitary construction rather than separate chassis and bodies as used in previous Jaguar models. The Mk II arrived in 1959 and continued in production until 1967 available in 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 litre capacities, by which time more than 80,000 examples of Mk I and Mk II had been sold. The Mk II 3.8 automatic example offered for auction has been the subject of a comprehensive bare metal restoration. Finished in a very attractive colour combination of silver coachwork with a beige leather interior and walnut dashboard and door cappings, the restoration, which was completed between 2008 and 2010, was substantial. The body was stripped to bare metal and numerous panels were replaced including near and offside inner and outer sills, front cross member, crows feet, rear valance, all door bottoms and other panels, all of which were supplied by Martin Robey, then a full respray was completed. The interior was retrimmed in beige leather, new wool carpets, head lining and the walnut was repolished. At the same time the engine, gearbox and running gear were thoroughly overhauled. All the chrome work was replated and new chrome wire wheels were purchased. The history file contains numerous receipts for the aforementioned restoration totalling approximately 18,000, photographs of the restoration in progress and some old MOT's and brochures. This thoroughly sorted Mk II is resplendent after all the time and money spent on it and should make a new owner very proud. V5C, MOT to July 2012, tax exempt See illustrations Sold for 11500 A 1960 Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur, registration number 693 BYV, chassis number BC63AR, engine number A63BC. The chassis, BC63AR, was ordered by Sir Duncan Orr-Lewis, who had Mulliner build a four door Flying Spur body to go onto it; this was painted a very subtle shade of grey. Records show that the second owner was Maxwell Joseph of Clarges Street, Mayfair, W1 and the servicing was carried out by Jack Barclay between November 1961 and July 1962. Mr Joseph's was chairman of the Grand Met, who owned and ran some of the best hotels in Paris, and during his ownership the car was used on the Continent as denoted by the French identity plate fixed under the bonnet and French worded switches in the car. Records show that the car was in the ownership of Harold Garratt from 1974. He used the car on regular trips to Yorkshire and Scotland, and regular visits to rugby internationals at Twickenham,

71

72

where the car could always be found parked in the West car park. Between 1992 and his death in 2004, BC63AR was dry stored in the garage at the family home. After his demise, the car was recommissioned by RR & B (Bromsgrove, Worcester) at a cost of 20,000 and since then a further 25,000 has been lavished on improvements and refurbishments. These coachbuilt cars are wonderfully built and epitomise the style and grace of the earlier R-Type and S-Type Continentals, with the added practical bonus of four doors. V5C, MOT to be advised, tax exempt (taxed to July 2011) See illustrations Sold for 0 A 1962 Austin Healey 3000 Mk II BJVII, registration number M368 PDV, chassis number H-BJ7-L/20499, engine number 29F-RU-H/1151. Donald Healey's association with Austin started with the Healey 100 which debuted at the 1952 Earl's Court Motor Show. It was powered by Austin's 90 Atlantics four cylinder engine and running gear. BMC's Leonard Lord secured the production rights to the car at the show and the Austin Healey legend was born. There followed further revisions to the design over the years, incorporating the larger six cylinder engines which were subsequently known as the 100/6 and 3000. The 3000 Mk II version was introduced in 1961, initially with triple SU HS4 four carburettors and an improved cam shaft in either a four seat configuration, code named BT7, or a two seater version, code named BN7. But due to difficulties in balancing the triple carburettors these models were discontinued and were subsequently replaced with the twin carburettored car, code named BJ7, in January 1962. The 3000 Mk II BJ7 we have the pleasure in offering for auction was originally a left hand drive car, which was exported to North America. It subsequently returned to these shores in 1994, whereupon a full bare metal and comprehensive restoration was carried out by the current vendor. During the restoration the big Healey was converted to right hand drive and a Mk III dashboard was installed. Finished in black with a beautiful tan brown piped leather interior, it is complemented by the black full weather gear, consisting of a hood, a full tonneau and a hood cover. Further refinements include wool carpets, chrome wire wheels, calibrated rev counter and speedometer, four speed gearbox with overdrive and battery cut out switch. Since the restoration, which was completed in 1995, the vendor has covered approximately 12,500 totally reliable miles on Continental tours and regularity time trials. There is a vast and comprehensive photographic record of the restoration in a history file, covering all aspects of the restoration and subsequent maintenance. The vendor is retaining his personal number plate and a new age-related number plate should be issued by the time of the auction. This big Healey is superbly presented and has been maintained with no expense spared since the restoration and offers the next owner an opportunity to purchase a properly fettled car.

This Riley restoration project has received a great deal of attention. The bodywork has had new door skins, sills, inner wheel arches and body mounting points. Also the whole body has been sprayed in etch primer ready for the top coats of paint. The restoration was stopped some time ago; at the time the engine was running with good oil pressure and the pre-selector gearbox is functioning correctly. The car has been in storage since. There is a new professionally trimmed grey leather interior ready to be installed into the car and the chassis is rolling on freshly shot blasted black painted wire wheels with new tyres. This worthwhile restoration project is now ready for the next owner to complete or if the original saloon doesn't suit there is always the option to make a Riley special.
