1965 Triumph TR4A IRSReg. no. CEA 936CChassis no. C7C5764ZOEngine no. C156Z68EThe TR4A was the last of the TR range to use the long-serving Standard wet-liner four-cylinder engine. Launched in 1965, it addressed the main criticism that had been levelled at the TR4 – its harsh ride. The TR4A now had independent rear suspension, a semi-trailing arm setup with coil springs and lever-arm shock absorbers. Accommodating this new arrangement made the car slightly wider and 50kg heavier than the TR4, but this was made up for by the resulting improvements in both comfort and handling, while the engine was enhanced with improved manifolds, now giving 104bhp. Cosmetically, the car now sported an ‘IRS’ badge at the rear, alluding to the new suspension, while there was also some new chrome trim, smaller bumpers and a new design of convertible top based on that of the Herald. On the interior, the dash was now covered in walnut as standard, which had been an option on the TR4.This UK-market 1965 TR4A features some of the most desirable options and accessories available for these cars. The four-speed gearbox benefits from the optional overdrive on second, third and fourth, and the car is also fitted with the desirable rear screen and ‘Surrey’ hard top – very sought-after items in the TR world. In very good mechanical condition, the engine is said to be leak-free and has just been serviced, with all ancillaries either replaced or reconditioned. The cooling system has been flushed and the hoses replaced, and there is a new battery with cut-off switch, as well as a new stainless steel sports exhaust. As far as the bodywork, paintwork and interior are concerned, the car is in fair condition, having been restored around 10 years ago. This extremely useable TR comes with a current V5C.Estimate: £16,500 – 17,000

1961 Vanden Plas PrincessReg. no. 730 CXHChassis no. VDM 414955Engine no. 14936Launched as the Austin A135 Princess in 1952 and re-branded as a Vanden Plas in 1960, this large 4-litre limousine represented the last in the line of large luxury Austins. Although using Austin underpinnings, the car was actually built at the Vanden Plas works in Kingsbury in North London, an arrangement that would continue right up until the end of production in 1968. Extremely luxuriously appointed, with plenty of polished wood and thick carpeting, the Princess was not aimed at the general market – the options of monograms and a flagstaff attested to that. Instead, it was aimed at heads of state, dignitaries, and other customers who required a dignified car in which to be seen and transported. Although not sports cars by any stretch of the imagination, by the early 60s Princesses could reach about 85mph, although the big 4-litre straight six and automatic gearbox were more intended for refined, smooth progress. They proved excellent at this, and Princesses are still a popular choice as event cars, particularly for weddings and other such occasions where their air of timeless British luxury provides a touch of class.This 1961 Princess was originally owned by a shipping company as directors’ transport. After that, it was used for many years for weddings. At some point before 1974 the original cloth upholstery in the rear was replaced with imitation leather; the front compartment retains its original leather. Originally black, the car has gone through several resprays before reaching its current colour scheme. It is in good sound condition bodywork-wise. The engine has been converted to run on unleaded fuel. These cars represent value, not least when one considers they can seat eight people, and this one looks ideal for either a return to work, or as a luxury classic with space for all the family. It comes with service history back to 1974, plus a V5C.Estimate: £3,000 – 4,000

1976 MG MidgetReg. no. RKG 67RChassis no. t.b.a.Engine no. t.b.a.By 1976 MG’s popular midget was a well-established part of the British motoring scene, their affordability and ease of maintenance meaning that many thousands found appreciative owners, who got to experience all the joys of traditional British sports car ownership, without breaking the bank. From 1974, the Midget benefitted from the installation of the 1500cc Triumph engine in place of the 1275 A-Series, the larger engine producing the same 65bhp but more torque, giving a noticeable improvement in performance. Also new for 1974 were the black US-spec bumpers; these ‘rubber bumper’ cars have long divided opinion but are now coming into favour with enthusiasts.This 1976 1500 Midget is a restoration project that should prove most rewarding, with parts easy to come by. The engine turns freely.Estimate: £1,500 – 2,000

1960 MGA 1600cc SportsReg. no. SFV 452Chassis no. GHN 83323Engine no. 16GA/U/1692Officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955, the MGA represented a clean break from the pre-war nature of the T-series cars that preceded it. Available as both an open sports car and a coupe, so different was it to other MGs that the letter A was used to signify a new start, a clean break from the older cars. Compared to the TF, the driver sat much lower, this being achieved by moving the chassis rails further apart and dropping the floor down between them. This resulted in both a more immersive driving experience and better handling. Under the bonnet, there was a new engine replacing the pre-war-derived XPAG unit, this being the 1.5 litre B-Series unit that MG now had access to as a result of the merger with Austin to form BMC. By 1960, the B-Series had grown to 1.6 litres, putting out 79.5bhp. These 1600 cars also gained disc brakes at the front. Tested by ‘The Motor’ in 1959, the MGA 1600 was found to have a top speed of just over 96mph and a 0-60 time of 13.3 seconds – performance that put it on a similar footing to rivals from the likes of Triumph.This 1960 MGA 1600 was purchased by the vendor as an almost-finished restoration project in 2003. Over the next three years it was completed, and since then it has been in regular use, and regularly run with the Swansea Historic Vehicle Register. It has featured in their calendar in 2012 and picked up a few minor awards at club shows. The car has been maintained as a genuine runner and has participated in several long-distance runs, such as attending classic events in Ireland. Naturally in good condition mechanically, it is also good body-wise, with a professional repaint in the late 90s, although there is a scratch and dent on the driver’s door. This extremely useable example of this classic British sports car, may require some minor recommissioning and is offered with a V5C, a set of wire wheels, various re-chromed bumpers, side screens etc.Estimate: £12,000 – 15,000

1975 MG B GT Jubilee Special AnniversaryReg. no. HCC 869NChassis no. GHD5 – 377572GEngine no. 3404Development of the MGB started in the late 1950s, as MG looked to steal a jump on their main rivals Triumph. The resulting car was rather advanced in its construction when launched in 1962, utilizing a unitary structure instead of the traditional body-on-frame construction used on both its predecessor the MG A and the Triumph TR series. However, components such as brakes and suspension were developed from those of the MG A, while the B-Series engine was also already in use in the wider BMC stable. The lightweight design and parts interchangeability meant it was cheap to produce, and therefore affordable, and it captured a large segment of the British sports car market. In 1965, the ‘GT’ coupe version was launched, sporting a ground-breaking design by Pininfarina that has been viewed in some ways as a predecessor of the later, all-conquering hatchback form of car. The angle of the rear opening meant the car had much more luggage space than the roadster, while also being a genuine four-seater. B GTs were naturally slightly heavier than the roadsters, but actually had a higher top speed due to the improved aerodynamic shape.This 1975 B GT is a rare ‘Jubilee’ special edition, with the striking colour scheme distinctive to that model. 751 of this model were built for 1975, with around 200 thought to survive. The vendor purchased this car in March 2005, with the bodywork having been comprehensively restored by the previous owner. Used regularly up until around 2012, it was then put into storage as the owner became more active with the MGA and TD also in his collection. A new clutch was fitted prior to storage; however, the hydraulic system will need bleeding and the clutch setting up before use. Otherwise, the car is in decent all-round condition for its age. The 1.8 litre B-Series engine is in running order, but full recommissioning is advised. This car should prove an enjoyable vehicle once returned to the road. It comes with documentation regarding the previous owner’s restoration. There is a V5C in the file plus sundry other books on the model and bills.Estimate: £4,000 – 6,000

1988 Mercedes-Benz 500SE Registration no. TBAChassis no. WDB1260362A418741Odometer reading: 8,400MOT Expiry: 14 December 2021*1 owner from new*Exceptionally low mileage *Dry stored throughout its lifeCommenting on their significance, Werner Breitschwerdt, Daimler-Benz Development Chief, said, 'The new 500SE and SEL five-litre models are equal or even superior to our 450SEL 6.9 in design and equipment.' First seen at the Frankfurt Show in 1979, the range-topping 500SE/SEL saloons were the most luxurious built by Mercedes-Benz. Replacements for the 6.9-litre 450SEL, the re-styled newcomers used the 4,973cc overhead-camshaft V8 already seen in the 450SLC coupé. In saloon trim the all-alloy, fuel-injected motor produced 240bhp and was coupled to an all-new, four-speed automatic gearbox. Both the SE and SEL (long wheelbase) models could accelerate to 60mph in around 7 seconds and reach 140mph, a level of performance similar to the larger-engined but heavier 450SEL's and superior to that of many out-and-out sports cars.This right-hand drive 500SE über-saloon was acquired by the vendor (its first and only owner) in 1988. To this day the car has seen sparing use always being well maintained and dry stored. Finished in Pearl grey with navy blue perforated leather interior, the 500SE has an endless specification sheet, with almost every option selected when ordered new by our vendor. The vehicle comes with regular maintenance documents, current MoT and V5 registration document.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

JMZNB18P200134771Odometer reading: 25,000MOT Expiry: 19/07/2021*1 owner from new*Exceptionally low mileage*Rare limited edition modelThis MX5 was purchased new by its first and only owner in early 2000, being lovingly cherished every day since. The MX5 Sport was the first limited edition Mazda MX5 MK2, built between 1998 and 1999, notable features included a full colour coded body kit, detachable hard top, 15' 5 spoke alloy wheels, rear mud flaps, front spoiler, side skirts and front fog lamps. It is thought only 600 MX5 Sports were produced over its one year of production, making this a truly unrepeatable opportunity. The MX5 Sport is finished in a lovely navy blue with a two tone black and blue full leather interior, which includes more limited edition exclusives such as the three-spoke Nardi steering wheel. On file are regular maintenance bills along with a V5 Document.

VMTMF160180000037Odometer reading: N/AMOT Expiry: N/A*Lightweight Secma*2 owners from new*Huge funThe Secma F16 is a 1598cc rear engined micro sports car, that offers huge fun for road or track driving. The car was unveiled in 2008 at the Paris Motor Show, featuring a 105hp 1.6 four-cylinder Renault engine that propels the car to 60 in 5.9 seconds. The car is rear-wheel drive and features a five-speed manual transmission that's also sourced from Renault. At only 275cm long and 560kg, these are very small and light weight machines that are huge fun – particularly with the open top. The weight distribution is 60/40 with the rear mounted engine, giving a Porsche like feel on the road. The styling is also quite distinctive and resonates with that of a beach buggy – however this is nothing of the sort. This 2009 example originates from Jersey and has had 2 owners from.

1934 Talbot Lago T120 Baby ProjectRegistration no. 842 YUEChassis no. 85172Odometer Reading: N/AMot Expiry: ExemptOwned and campaigned by Karl Ludvigsen*Largely complete set of spares*Extensive historyOn the dissolution of the Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq combine in 1935, automobile engineer Major AF 'Tony' Lago bought the Darracq factory at Suresnes and continued production, selling his cars as Darracqs in the UK and Talbots in France. The revitalized marque embraced both sports car and Grand Prix racing, and in 1937 achieved victories in the French Grand Prix and the Tourist Trophy; from then onwards it was an uphill struggle against the state-subsidized might of the German and Italian opposition. There were, however, many notable successes in the immediate post-war years, including three Grand Prix wins for French Champion Louis Rosier.This T120 has a fascinating history and is a truly exciting project to be returned to the road, the car was restored in France before returning to England, unfortunately the car was damaged when competing in a rally in Wales. The car has since been repaired accordingly and is ready to be restored to its former glory. Fitted with the lovely 3-litre engine coupled with a Wilson pre-selector gearbox, this T120 would provide an engaging and speedy driving experience. The car is accompanied with bills through the 80s, 90s and 2000s and a V5 document.Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:Vendor Score Total: 20/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1972 Datsun 240ZRegistration no. SFL 342KChassis no. 80847Odometer Reading: 23,315MoT Expiry: 17 March 2022*LHD example*Described as good condition*Extensively restored*Iconic Japanese sports carThe Datsun 240Z was one of the best sports cars to come out of the 1970s. The car was overall surprising – not just because it was a new Japanese sports car, but because it offered a 125mph top speed and 0-60 time of 8 seconds – impressive figures at the time. The car also represented excellent value, with a price tag that was only 10% above that of an MGB – but with considerably more performance and practicality on offer. Styled by Yoshihiko Matsuo, the 240Z design has aged incredibly well and has retained itself as an icon with its revvy 2.4 litre straight-six engine. This LHD example is showing 24,232 miles shown on the clock. The car has been previously restored, including according to the vendor, a change from automatic transmission to manual, and is presented in a striking bright yellow colour scheme with black leather interior. It has also been uprated with a 280Z distributor for improved driveability. The bodywork, running gear, interior and electrics are all described by the vendor as good condition, and the car comes with a small amount of history (with the vendor acquiring the car in May 2020). The car is offered with an MOT free from advisories, valid until March 2022, and the car is described overall as being in good condition – offering a great opportunity to own an iconic Japanese sports car.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 83/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1976 Mercedes-Benz 350SL ConvertibleRegistration no. SAK 571Chassis no. 10704322012136Odometer reading: 153,103MoT expiry date: TBC*Automatic transmission*Body refurbished and repainted in 2011*Interior re-trimmed in 2011Although larger than their predecessors, the 350 SL convertible and 350 SLC coupé retained the overall look of the long-running 230/250/280 SL family and were the first Mercedes-Benz sports cars to use a V8 engine, the latter's 200bhp more than offsetting the increase in bulk. All-independent suspension ensured superb ride and handling, while four-wheel disc brakes restrained the 130mph-plus performance. There was a choice of either four-speed manual or similar automatic transmission, and the 350 SL/SLC were luxuriously equipped in the finest Mercedes-Benz tradition. This automatic transmission 350 SL convertible's body was refurbished in 2011 and re-sprayed, the interior being re-trimmed at the same time in nice chequered cloth. Running and driving nicely, the car comes with a handbook and V5C document.Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereVendor Score Total: 59/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1967 Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 DuettoRegistration no. MVT 760EChassis no. AR710152Odometer reading: 4,500 MilesMOT Expiry: N/A*Exceptional low mileage*Rare factory RHD car*In current ownership since 1971*Sold for recommissioning The Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider is one of the most iconic Italian sports cars to come out of the 1960s, with the Spider being one of the last known designs of Battista Pininfarina before his passing in 1966. The design proved to be a classic – and remained largely unchanged for three decades. This example is a rare factory right hand drive car – with only 382 RHD cars made with the 1600cc engine. Not only that but the car also has exceptionally low mileage with only 4,500 miles since new. This is largely due to the car being solely used for holidays by the vendor, who himself was a mechanic and who owned the car since 1971. The car comes with a good history file and log book, and has also been garage stored. The bodywork could do with some work in places, but overall the car is in good condition and is very original. The interior is also in good condition, bar the headlining. The engine starts and runs as it should. The car will be sold for recommissioning due to its lack of use, but it could be brought up to a very high standard by a new owner if desired.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Like so many examples, this 1952 example was delivered to California when new but came back to the UK in 2014. Upon its arrival it was treated to a full restoration and converted to RHD to aid UK driver enjoyment. The car has been fitted with a Ford P5 gearbox, stainless steel exhaust, walnut dashboard, new hood, and a picnic rack for those lovely sunny days. The vendor reports it is driving well and remains in good all-round order having been dry stored throughout their ownership. The car is in generally good order and it presents very well with its green and tan colour combination. The interior is in very good order throughout: seat facings, dashboard and carpets are in very presentable condition and make any journey a pleasure. In all, a delightful example of this still-popular MG that would be ideal for tours of mainland Europe.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 77/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1954 Bentley R-Type 4½-Litre SaloonRegistration no. Not UK registeredChassis no. B292YD*Automatic transmission*Right hand drive*Present ownership since 2011*Acquired in the USAThe rationalisation policy begun in the late 1930s continued at Rolls-Royce after the war with the introduction of standard bodywork. The new 'standard steel' body was available at first only on the Bentley MkVI, the equivalent Rolls-Royce - the Silver Dawn - not appearing until 1949. A separate chassis was retained and the range featured a new design of independent front suspension, hydraulic front brakes, and a new 4,257cc, six-cylinder, 'F-head' (inlet-over-exhaust) engine, the latter enlarged to 4,566cc in 1951. In 1952 a much needed improvement to the standard bodywork arrived in the form of an enlarged boot together with alterations to the rear wings and suspension, subsequent models incorporating these changes being known as the R-Type Bentley and E-Series Silver Dawn. Chassis number 'B292YD' was manufactured in 1954 and has the Rolls-Royce/General Motors Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission that had recently become available as an option (and would be standardised on the successor Bentley S1). Little is known of this car's history and the documentation on file consists of the original State of New Jersey Certificate of Title and bill of sale when the vendor purchased it from Sports & Specialist Cars of Hopewell, New Jersey in October 2011. Having been stored for the intervening period, the car may require some re-commissioning prior to road use. Subsequently exported, the Bentley is subject to the low import duty rate of 5% should it remain in the UK.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* Subject to import tax at a preferential rate on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

V8/11252/RCA*Series 3 model with Weber carburettors*Automatic transmission*Rare electric sunroof optionTesting an Aston martin V8 Series 3 in November 1973, Autosport's John Bolster observed that even a short drive proved that the luxurious Aston was, above all, still a sports car: 'It has the sheer cornering power of light competition cars, with the responsive steering of the best vintage marques. In spite of its weight, it has acceleration which is outstanding among even among the world's most exotic speed models.'Its accompanying BMIHT Certificate states that this Aston Martin V8 was delivered new to Plough Motors & Co Ltd of Stonehouse. The car was delivered fitted with the following items of factory fitted equipment: automatic transmission; electric sunroof; lockable centre armrest; over-riders; side repeater flashers; side marker lights; large-capacity fuel tank; heavy-duty shock absorbers; AM/FM radio/cassette player; two headrests; and two door mirrors. When last registered in the UK the Aston belonged to Mr Dennis Clark of Wiltshire and before him to Patrick Gregory of Somerset (copy V5C on file).

When acquired by the owner at a UK auction in 2012, the Aston was registered to Mr David Atkinson of Sunderland, its previous owner (from 1987) having been Mr Michael Squirrel of Kent. The car was said to have 'driven and run well' when last taxed and MoT'd in 2010.

1968 Triumph TR5 Pi Overdrive ModelRegistration no. SHN 800FChassis no. CP1543Odometer Reading: 96,991MoT Expiry: Exempt*UK RHD car*Recent extensive restoration*Iconic and rare model Designed by Giovani Michelotti, the TR5 offered the best of both worlds with its handsome styling and all-new fuel injected straight-six engine – the first of its kind. This new engine helped award the TR5 the title of being the fastest TR ever produced. Not only that, but the independent rear suspension on the TR5 made it a reputedly fantastic car to drive. Produced between 1967-1969, the TR5 had a short production run making it a rare and increasingly desirable classic. Over those three years only 2,947 TR5s were ever made, with 1,161 of those being sold for the UK market. Today, it is thought that only 500 remain on UK roads. Presented in Royal Blue, this 1968 car has recently been restored to a very high standard. Purchased by the vendor in July 2014 from a UK auction as a project, the car had been garaged and undriven for approximately 8-10 years. When purchased, the car was a non-running vehicle. Since then, the car has received an extensive restoration, including a stripped chassis and body that was both sand blasted and protected with a protective coat, and then resprayed from the original Valencia Blue to the Royal Blue you see today. The engine and gearbox were also completely rebuilt with a new upgraded suspension and springs, new polyurethane bushes, new springs, radiator, brake discs, callipers, pads, copper pipework, and a new stainless steel exhaust. Outside, the car features new chrome trims, original refurbished wire wheels, and much more. Inside, the car also received a re-veneered dashboard, clocks and dials which were disassembled and cleaned, reupholstered seats and a new carpet. The car also comes with a good history file, showing that a Mrs Lorraine Allan purchased the car in 1994 and then by TR GB where a Mr Seymour purchased the car in 2003. The history file contains receipts and photos detailing the restoration works. Triumph also have an excellent and active owners club known (the TR Register) for a new owner to join if desired. The car is said to be running and driving very well, offering a rare opportunity to acquire one of the best classic British sports cars.Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:Vendor Score Total: 88/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

The property of Richard Stewart Williams 'Old Min', the ex-Peter Sellers/Spike Milligan1930 Austin Heavy Twelve Open Road Tourer DeluxeRegistration no. GO 3252Chassis no. 68282*First acquired by Spike Milligan in the 1950s*Owned by Peter Sellers at the time of his death in 1980*Totally restored by RS Williams 2012-2015*Little used since restoration*Serviced for sale and fully operationalThis beautiful Austin Heavy Twelve Open Road Tourer has the unique distinction of having been owned by two members of the famous British comedy ensemble, The Goons: Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers. Affectionately known as 'Old Min', the Austin took its name from one of The Goon Show's many comic characters: elderly spinster Minnie Bannister. Acquired by Milligan in the 1950s, 'Old Min' was coveted by Sellers, a lifelong motoring enthusiast, from the moment he first saw it. Launched in late 1921, the Twelve owed its success to Austin's superior build quality and the soundness of the basic design. The engine was a five-bearing side-valve four displacing 1,661cc (1,861cc from 1927), delivering 40-45mph cruising and circa 26 miles per gallon. Enduringly popular, the model remains a favourite with Austin enthusiasts. While his growing international fame and wealth enabled Sellers to indulge his taste in fine thoroughbred automobiles (he would own various Rolls-Royces, Aston Martins and Ferraris), he never forgot 'Old Min', and when Milligan lost his licence he became its owner in 1968. By this time Sellers had met the world-renowned Aston Martin specialist Richard Williams, who took on the role of the actor's 'fleet manager'. Having enjoyed the Austin for 11 years, Sellers gave 'Old Min' back to Milligan only to retrieve the car almost immediately as he felt his friend was failing to care for it properly. The car's history following Sellers' death in 1980 is not clear, but Richard Williams later became acquainted with one of the subsequent owners and was able to purchase 'Old Min' in March 2010. In 2012 Richard commenced a total restoration to Sellers' famously exacting standards, a long and painstaking process that would take the next three years to complete. The original hood was retained; the upholstery sympathetically refurbished; and the engine rebuilt by Vintage-era Austin specialist, Bob James. Richard spent over £45,000 on the restoration, and his detailed summary of the costs may be found in the extensive history file together with old photographs, various invoices, magazine articles, and an original handbook inscribed 'Property of Spike Milligan – please return'. Used sparingly since the restoration, 'Old Min' is in fully operational condition and will have been fully serviced immediately prior to sale.Shortly after the rebuild's completion, 'Old Min' was road-tested by Andrew Roberts for an article in Classic & Sports Car magazine (March 2016 edition, copy on file) in which he succinctly sums up its unique charm. 'This test possibly means more to me than almost any other I've done for C&SC,' he declared. 'In my day job as a film historian, I genuinely regard Peter Sellers, at the height of his powers, to have been the finest actor in post-war British cinema, and so the experience of riding in Old Min was on a par with another motoring scribe driving the former property of Graham Hill or Jim Clark.' One can only envy the Austin's fortunate next owner.

1968 Aston Martin DB6 Sports SaloonRegistration no. PYR 916F - Not currently UK Registered (see text)Chassis no. DB6/3372/R*Converted from automatic to five-speed manual transmission in the 1980s*Mk2 Vantage engine blockAccording to the accompanying copy guarantee form, '3372/R' was delivered new equipped with automatic transmission; power assisted steering; chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; power operated aerial; three-ear hubcaps; and front safety belts. The car was finished in Dubonnet Rosso with tan leather interior and was first owned by Mr P A Bass of Leicestershire. It is understood that the conversion from automatic transmission to the current five-speed manual gearbox was carried out by Chevron specialist Vin Malkie, whose Manchester garage maintained the car from 1981 to 1989. The engine block, a later Mk2 Vantage component, dates from this period. The suspension was rebuilt around 21 years ago and the bodywork repainted in Silver Birch by Eaton Square Garage circa 20 years ago. The seat leather is original and un-restored. The previous owner acquired the Aston in 2006, carrying out light restoration and only driving the car on day trips during summer months. When the DB6 was sold to the current owner at Bonhams' Aston Martin Works auction in 2012 (Lot 233), it was stated that the most recent maintenance had included renewing the rear springs; fitting an aluminium radiator and new fan cowling; Zircoating the exhaust manifolds; and replacing both front sections of the exhaust with stainless pipes and flexible connections.

1999 Ferrari 456M GTAChassis no. 2FFWP5OCOOO116381*Low mileage 456GTA*Extensive history file*Recent major mechanical workFirst introduced in 1992, the 456 GT was a true 2+2 sports car and was the first modern Ferrari to revert back to a V12 front engine rear-wheel drive layout. The 456M was an updated and improved version of the standard 456 that was first unveiled in 1998, featuring improved aerodynamics and a more luxurious interior. This example is a 1999 car with date of manufacture shown as 26 June 1999, and is presented in Argento Nurburgring metallic with a burgundy leather interior. The car comes with a large history file, which shows that the car was originally shipped to Hong Kong from the factory. However on 2 February 2000, the car was then shipped to the UK where the car was registered on 3 March 2000, and has remained ever since. Accompanying the car is a service record, showing regular servicing with major supplier Maranello & Graypaul from the date of UK registration to 8 September 2014. Also during this period a full cambelt service was carried out on 4 February 2013 at 17,797 miles. On 25 May 2015, the current owner authorised Dick Lovett to carry out a major overhaul of the car – a 9 month process. This included an overhaul of the engine, brakes, suspension, hydraulics and alarm system. Inside, all the dashboard knobs and switches were also refurbished. Regular servicing has continued to be carried out by Dick Lovett, who also undertook a complete gearbox repair and overhaul after a failure in January 2020. This is now completely repaired with the gearbox now functioning very well and as it should. The car is currently showing circa 22,636 miles. Overall, this is an excellent and well looked after example of an increasingly sought after modern Ferrari.

Progressing to factory produced cars with the GT and Genie and later launching the Invader in 1969.The Mk3 Invader launched in 1972 was the last car produced by Gilbern and boasts Ford Cortina front suspension, the torquey 3 litre Ford Essex V6 in the higher tuned spec from the Capri 3000GT and a live rear axle.Only 603 Invaders (M1,2 & 3) were produced with very few remaining today although popular for its handling and ease to maintain as most Ford parts are still available off the shelf.This MK3 Invader is finished in bright red with contrasting grey interior (the original front seats are included in the sale) along with chrome alloy wheels. It was driven to our site and appears to run and drive well.The bodywork would benefit from a polish and some touch-ups but we suggest viewing to make your own investigation.Registered on the 31st of December 1972 and believed to be one of the very last produced. MOT & Tax exempt. Mileage showing is 87,500.Fitted with electric windows, 4 speed gearbox with overdrive, wood rimmed steering wheel and front & rear fog lights.

The last of the Rover V8 TVRs the Chimaera was launched in 1992, production continued until 2003 by which time over 5,200 cars were produced. Loved by Sports car, track day and British car fans for there bare bones approach to speed. TVRs have no driver aids, no ABS and most importantly no wasted weight!Quirky by design TVR like to do things differently, just get in a Chimaera and try and get back out? The door release is a rotary knob behind the gearstick, why? Because they can. Lightweight, simple and quirky has led to TVRs being like no other and the Chimera is the perfect example, a loud V8, lovely short throw gearbox, very direct steering and excellent handling.Registered on the 1st of April 1993 this Chimaera has a 4.0 Rover V8 fettled by TVR in Blackpool linked to a 5 speed manual gearbox and double wishbone suspension.Finished in Green with contrasting cream leather with black diamond stitch accents and aluminium dash faschia.MOT till January next year and having covered only 45 thousand miles this car was driven to us by the current owner.

Invicta cars started life in 1925, founded by Noel Macklin and funded by Oliver Lyle of Tate & Lyle sugar with production being based from MacklinÕs home in Cobham, Surrey. The early cars were fitted with Meadows engine (Henry Meadows also known for the Rolls Royce Meteor) and found some sporting success with Violette Cordery (MacklinÕs sister in law) in long distance events as well as taking the course record at Shelsley Walsh in 1932. Production ended in 1935 as Macklin founded Railton, Invicta cars was wound up in 1938.1946 Brought a revival of Invicta cars this time based in Virginia Water, Surrey. This brought about the Black Prince, again Meadows engines were used this time a world first for many reasons the headline features and specification include.¥ 3 litre straight six engine¥ Aluminium engine block¥ Twin chain driven overhead camshafts¥ Two spark plugs per cylinder with individual distributor and coil per cylinder¥ Triple SU carburettors with separate Òstarting carbsÓ fitted in a specially designed inletThe Black Prince also boasted some other impressive features including a Hydraulic system designed to lift the car off the ground to aid with maintenance or to change a flat tyre, trickle charging system to run off any AC power outlet, immersion heater to keep the oil and water at temperature on frosty days.One of the first production cars with fully independent suspension, torsion bars and steering designed for Òfinger and thumbÓ driving.Only 12 Black Prince cars were built, the current owner of this vehicle is the only owners believed to have ever owned more than 1. Other known cars are a 2 door fixed head coupŽ in India, and a drophead in Australia. This is one of only 2 of the Jenson bodied cars, the other is thought to be in Paris.This particular car sports a body by Jenson in a drop head, 2 door 4 seat layout finished in Morella Maroon with off white canvass top.Owned by the current family since the 70s with only 2 previous owners both also from the North East and documented on an early brown log book. This car comes with a large history file including magazine articles, letters to and from the Invicta owners club, other owners and car fans.Residing in the current ownerÕs museum since 1992 the car will require some light commissioning, please see our walk around video for full condition details.A unique opportunity to purchase a car seen on the market extremely rarely with fantastic history.We encourage viewings on all our cars, viewing is by appointment only, alternatively we can schedule a telephone or video call to show you anything specific you may wish to see.

Everyone knows an MGB! Arguably the most popular British classic car, and for good reason. Produced between 1962 and 1980 the MGB is the quintessential British sports car. Light with a revy 1800cc 4-cylinder engine sending drive via a manual gearbox to the rear wheels.The replacement to the MGA the MGB sold in huge numbers with over 500 thousand being produced, ahead of its time using a unibody structure instead of the normal body over frame design of most cars of the time giving the MGB great rigidity and in turn sharp handling due to its lighter weight.The MGB was one of the first production cars to use crumple zones to protect its occupants from impact.Later cars were facelifted to satisfy the American market and crash standards. These cars from 1974 onwards were raised slightly and larger wrap around style rubber bumpers replaced the earlier slender chrome versions. A popular modification in the UK is to convert these Òrubber bumperÓ models back to pre-facelift by replacing the bumpers and fitting earlier spec suspension and in the case of better conversions such as this one even going to the trouble and large expense of converting the wheel assembly to take wire wheels with knock off fasteners.This 1975 GT has undergone that very conversion giving it the looks of an earlier car without the now huge cost (presentable examples of earlier cars regularly achieve £15,000-£20,000)Bumpers, suspension and wheels have all been changed by a previous owner as well as a repaint in a non-standard MG grey which contrasts nicely with the tidy blue/black interior.Fitted with a wood rimmed steering wheel and glass pop top style sun roof this car is a very affordable way of entering the classic car world and was driven to site by the current owner.

With just over 12,000 miles from new and a hardtop, this top of the range 280SL is about as good as it gets. UK-supplied in right-hand drive and fitted with an automatic gearbox The 280SL’s 2778cc, M130 seven-bearing, straight-six engine offered around 170bhp Showing just over 12,000 miles from new  and in a beautiful colour combination On offer from a private collection, fully recommissioned and UK-registered Elegant and eminently usable, Pagodas continue to remain in fashion, and this 280SL looks and drives as it should The Mercedes-Benz SL 'Pagoda' was introduced in mid-1963 in 2.3-litre form and continued in production until February 1971 before being replaced by its successor, the entirely new and substantially heavier, R107 350SL. Over the years, the W113 quietly evolved from a nimble 'sports car' into a comfortable 'grand tourer' and was usually equipped with four-speed automatic transmission and air conditioning. The final evolution of the Pagoda was the 280SL, launched in November 1967 with a host of technical improvements, and is now seen as the most refined iteration of the W113 series. The robust new seven-bearing, 2778cc, M130 engine developed 170bhp and perfectly suited the automatic transmission. New one-piece wheel trims distinguished the last W113 but alloys were now an option. By the time production ceased in March 1971, some 23,885 had been made making the 280SL the most popular of all W113 variants. The car presented here is a 1970 RHD/UK-supplied 280SL fitted with the automatic gearbox. Showing just over 12,000 miles and presenting in wholly commensurate condition, this car has been part of a dry-stored collection in Japan, where these cars are highly sought-after, and is now fully recommissioned and UK-registered. The colour combination suits the car extremely well and we are informed it drives and performs as well as any low-mileage 280 should. With Japanese paperwork showing 9,200 miles in 2015 and 10,700 miles in 2017, an Export Certificate, and now a UK logbook, this is one 280 SL where its condition is testament to its mileage and closeted history. We welcome any inspection and are able to provide detailed, walk-around videos to substantiate the car’s condition.SpecificationMake: MERCEDESModel: 280SL W113 PAGODAYear: 1970Chassis Number: 11304422020896Registration Number: HJK 595JTransmission: Automatic Engine Number: 13098322013998 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 12000 MilesClick here for more details and images

Well presented and studiously detailed, this Dakar Yellow, S50-engined Roadster looks absolutely ready for summer.Prepared by its former owner to take to shows as a Concours contender and consequently detailed accordinglyThe 3.2-litre, S50 engine (from the E36 M3) produces 316bhp at 7,400rpm and 260 lb-ft of torqueSuperbly finished in Dakar Yellow with a smart black leather interiorOptioned from new with full leather, air conditioning and heated seatsSpectacularly well presented. The engine bay is showroom qualitySupplied with its full leather book pack, extensive service history including old MOTs, numerous invoices and two sets of keysThe Z3 was the first modern mass-market roadster produced by BMW, as well as the first new BMW model to be assembled in the BMW Spartanburg plant in the US, with some major components - such as the engine and transmission - being imported from Germany. The Z3 was introduced as a 1996 model year vehicle, shortly after being featured in the James Bond movie 'Goldeneye'. While the film was number one at the box office, sales of the car peaked, and it was sold out by the time the car was launched. The Z3's design was a tad contentious at the time, it seemed that the market wasn't quite ready for such an Avant-Garde styling exercise from conservative BMW, but today the distinctive styling is regarded as a real virtue. The length of the bonnet and the short rear-end are complimented by swooping wheel-arches and side-vents, plus its purposeful yet comfy cockpit feels like a nice place to be.However, it wasn't until 1999, when BMW installed the performance version of one of the most beloved six-cylinder engines in the car industry, the 3.2-version of the S50 engine from the E36 M3, giving 316bhp at 7,400rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque, that the Z3 became an interesting driver's car. It could now sprint to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds and on to a maximum speed of 155 mph, aided by uprated suspension, an LSD, a wider track, and larger brakes, all combining to create a proper sports car experience. Today, these cars possess a real feeling of integrity and a distinctive 'old-school' charm; UK's Top Gear declared it "'the best handling car in the business."Apart from the engine transplant and performance upgrades, the interior of the Z3M received a mild-makeover too and bits of chrome were added, plus a host of 'M' upgrades to differentiate the Z3M from the standard car. With instant response from its naturally aspirated performance engine and a throaty growl from its quad exhausts, the Z3M is now considered as the last bastion of proper BMW sports cars. Today, the Roadster is appreciated for its timeless design, with these special cars now becoming rarer and much sought-after.Brightly finished in Dakar Yellow, this lovely example was specified from new with full black leather, air conditioning and heated seats. Its former keeper was keen on club events and car shows and consequently it was prepared and detailed with that in mind. It would appear that with the pandemic having put paid to car shows for some time, the owner chose to move it on. Spectacularly well presented with an engine bay that's 'showroom fresh', this sparkling little roadster and its new keeper would be very much welcomed we are sure at future events or, it may be, that he or she will be too busy enjoying the car for themselves. It’s supplied with its full leather book pack, extensive service history including old MOTs, invoices and two sets of keys.

Delivered new to Monaco and offered directly from single family ownership with just 19,100 miles.Manufactured in left-hand drive for Jaguar France SA on 14/03/1989 in Signal Red with a Magnolia interiorBelieved to have been bought by our vendor’s late father-in-law from the Jaguar stand at the Paris Motor ShowDelivered by British Motors of Monte Carlo, Monaco in April 1989 to the family home where it stayed until 2016The detailed history shows historical invoices from British Motors and Welwyn JaguarUpon registration in the UK the KPH odometer unit was changed by Grange Welwyn Jaguar to MPH with corresponding mileage19,500 miles (atoc) indicated, corroborated by the history file and accompanying KPH unitPresented to auction in superb condition befitting from a lifetime in the South of France and an MOT until 21st April 2022Conceived as a stylish, comfortable and long-legged Grand Routier, rather than an out-and-out sports car like the preceding E-Type, the XJ-S made use of the Jaguar XJ6/XJ12 saloon platform and running gear. Shorter in the wheelbase than its saloon siblings, it debuted as a V12-powered Coupe, with six-cylinder and soft-top versions following in the 1980s. It had a lot to live up to and comparisons to its iconic predecessor are dismissed, with hindsight, as unfair whilst Jaguar were sensibly long-sighted with their launch and ambitions for the model. Nippy, impractical British sports cars were difficult to sell during the 1980s as the market segmented. Aston Martin’s V8 Coupé catered for the very wealthy and Lotus’ futuristic Esprit was the car of choice for those who were image concious. The XJS, however, was the perfect car for the successful gentleman of a certain age wanting a stylish, comfortable sports coupe that cut a dash, moreover it was particularly popular with women. By the time production had ceased in 1996, 115,413 coupes, cabriolets and convertibles had found homes.We are told by our vendor, the daughter-in-law of Mr Miller, the car’s first owner, that this XJS was ordered on the Jaguar stand at the 1989 Paris Motor Show. Resplendent in Signal Red with a Magnolia leather interior, the car was delivered by British Motors of Monte Carlo, who were not just the concessionaires for Jaguar but also Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Aston Martin. Registered ‘7279 MC’ as an official Monaco resident's car, a privilege afforded only to the very wealthy, it was lightly used by Mr Miller, hardly ever in the rare event of rain, and maintained by British Motors’ service department as documented by the historical invoices on file. When the car left Monaco for repatriation to the United Kingdom in 2016, the odometer showed a mere 29,786 kilometres had been covered, as confirmed by the original odometer-unit supplied with the car.When our vendor and her husband moved back to this country permanently, the Jaguar was registered with the DVLA on 22nd June 2016. The odometer unit was changed by Jaguar main dealers Grange Welwyn to a mileometer unit and the digits updated to match the original kilometres in equivalent miles of 18,508, prior to an MOT the next day at 18,510 miles. Subsequently, the online MOT history shows incremental increases over the years corroborated by Grange Welwyn’s service receipts and, indeed, the car has only travelled some 582 miles since 2016. Whilst in the UK, the car has been maintained, and MOT’d annually, for largely sentimental reasons and as it’s unlikely to be used much by the family, as a left-hand drive car on British roads, it’s now regretfully offered for sale.At the time of cataloguing, the indicated mileage is 19,100 and the car is presented to auction in superb overall condition having obviously benefited from its time in Monaco. The scuttles are in very good order, however, we note that there are dings to each of the rear bumper chrome quarter blades but the buyer should be able to find replacements with relative ease. There is evidence of wear to the driver’s side seat bolster, common with all XJS and indicative of short journeys, Monaco has only thirty miles of urban roads after all.In conclusion, it is rare to offer a low mileage, Monaco-delivered Jaguar from single British family ownership, benefiting from little use in a largely dry climate. The history file includes reams of historical and more recent invoices from Jaguar main dealers, a spare key, the Heritage Certificate, the owner’s manual and the current MOT which is valid until 22nd April 2022.Unlike most of its contemporaries, this venerable XJS has spent twenty-seven years being much admired in Monte Carlo amidst acres of brightly coloured exotica and being offered valet-parking outside the Café de Paris, a rare honour, simply because the Monésgasque appreciate classic British style.Smart examples of Jaguar’s big coupé, in all its iterations, are becoming increasingly sought-after, and this low-mileage, Signal Red car with a detailed history and lovely provenance is worth a closer look.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XJS COUPÉYear: 1989Chassis Number: SAJJNAEW4BB160907Registration Number: G357 PWXTransmission: AutomaticDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 19100 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: MagnoliaClick here for more details and images

Looking fabulous in Capri Blue, this sparkling DB6 benefits from an upgraded 4-speed auto box and a comprehensive history file.Dating from 1966, DB6/2563/R was delivered new to H.W motors Ltd. for its first owner, J.F.P TateFinished from new in Capri Blue with Dark Blue Connolly hide and dark blue carpetsThe accompanying Aston Martin Heritage Trust Certificate confirms the car was right-hand drive and fitted with a Borg-Warner, 4-speed automatic gearboxFurther optioned with Chrome Wire Wheels, 3-eared spinners, Fiamm horns and Avon TurbospeedsThe automatic four-speed gear box has received the 'Chapman' upgrade offering seamless gear changesFull and interesting ownership history. With our private vendor for the last seven yearsFull matching numbers, factory spec and in a fabulous colour. A lovely example The culmination of Aston Martin's long-running line of DB six-cylinder sports saloons, and thus considered by many to be the last 'real' Aston, the DB6 was introduced in 1965, updating the DB5. Although recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958, the DB6 abandoned the Carrozzeria Touring-developed 'Superleggera' body structure of its predecessors in favour of conventional steel fabrication whilst retaining the aluminium outer panels.Increased rear-seat space was the prime DB6 objective so the wheelbase was now four inches longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with a more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter-lights made a reappearance but the major change was at the rear where a 'Kamm tail' with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. These many dimensional changes were integrated most successfully, as the DB6's overall length increased by only two inches. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification, complete with triple Webers. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time, there was optional power-assisted steering. High profile owners in the early days included HRH Prince Charles, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Twiggy and Peter Sellers.DB6/2563/R was delivered new to H.W motors Ltd for J.F.P Tate, Esq. finished in Capri Blue with Dark Blue Connolly hide (VM 3282) and dark blue carpets. Although subsequently resprayed, the Aston is still presented today in the same Capri Blue with its very nicely aged original interior. The Aston Martin Heritage Trust Certificate confirms the specification being right-hand drive and fitted with a Borg-Warner, 4-speed automatic gearbox plus non-standard equipment including chrome roadwheels, heated rear window, three-eared hub spinners, Fiamm horns, a powered aerial and Avon Turbospeed tyres. The car was in daily use early on in its life and regularly serviced and maintained including a cylinder head overhaul and front suspension rebuild in 1967. It is still matching numbers, today, unlike many DB6s.The car's second owner was a Mr Pitkethly in 1984 who sold it, in 1992, to a Mr Hine who, in turn, later sold the DB6 to Le Riche 'Automobile Restorers' of Jersey in 2002. A little later, Le Riche were persuaded to part with the Aston by a Mr Hoy of Jersey (Reg. J 6929) who kept the vehicle until its export out of Jersey in December 2009.The next change of ownership was to Aston Martin Works Ltd. in April 2014, who sold it to the owner prior to our vendor. He appears to have cherished the car judging by its lovely overall condition today, and covered less than 600 miles in nearly 4 years.This car retains much of its originality, character and is still on its original number plate. It's matching numbers throughout and presented in the original colour of Capri Blue, a rare hue for a DB6 but one that really suits it making the big GT look slimmer and lighter somehow and will, without a doubt, turn heads as it continues to age gracefully. It is also noted that the automatic four-speed gear box has received the 'Chapman' upgrade, and this is very clear when you experience the smoothness of the shifts.OPC 308D is supplied with a fascinating history file direct from the current private owner who has had it for the last seven years, covering very few journeys but all of them memorable we are assured!The history file includes a Heritage Trust Certificate confirming both the original factory specification and matching numbers status.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6Year: 1966Chassis Number: DB62563RRegistration Number: OPC3 08DTransmission: Auto 4 SpeedEngine Number: 400-2461 Make: Interior Colour: Blue LeatherClick here for more details and images

Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification, complete with triple Webers. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time, there was optional power-assisted steering.DB6/3566/R was supplied new on 22nd August 1969 by Sundridge Park Motors in Bromley, finished in factory Pacific Blue with a Natural Connolly hide interior. Initially registered as CN19, the first owner also specified a number of additional factory-fitted options including PAS, heated rear screen, front seat belts and chrome wire wheels. Records held within the history file indicate the first owner retained the car for some 8 years and it has subsequently passed through the hands of a further 6 owners until our vendor acquired the car October 2015.Whilst being delighted with his acquisition it was our vendors intention to improve the cars driveability by replacing the auto gearbox and commissioning a professional conversion to a Tremec 5-speed manual, with all the additional works including a new carpet set associated with such a conversion. Whilst in the custody of the engineers, it was noted that the engine was not performing correctly and suffering oil pressure issues. With the ambition to own a reliable and driveable DB6 our vendor commissioned a complete engine rebuild and upgraded to 4.2-litres. Such works were entrusted to Aston Martin specialists Warren Heath who duly completed a comprehensive £18,000 build including a dyno-test prior to installation. Details of the build are contained within the history file. MOT records verify, in addition to benefitting from an MOT valid until February 2022, the car has been used sparingly since the engine and gearbox work having covered only 700 miles. This is clearly one for the true DB6 driving enthusiast having benefitted from significant expenditure during our vendors ownership with desirable upgrades and maintenance.Details of the car’s life and work carried out over the years are contained in the interesting owner’s file, including factory build sheets, previous owner history, and an Owner's Handbook. We thoroughly recommend interested parties take the opportunity to inspect both the car and the history file first hand.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6 MANUALYear: 1969Chassis Number: DB6 3566RRegistration Number: WYU 209HTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Natural ConnolyClick here for more details and images

This beautiful DB6 Volante has been fitted with a manual gearbox and upgraded to ‘Vantage spec’. A real driver’s car. An original right-hand drive, UK-supplied Mk1, originally delivered in Sierra Blue with a grey interior Later sold to both French and Swiss based owners with various invoices and some correspondence in the history file At some point it was upgraded to Vantage specification and fitted with a manual gearbox Will need fully re-commissioning after a long period of storage in a large collection Presented on a NOVA with UK taxes paid Considered by many to be the last 'real' Aston Martin, the DB6 was launched in 1965 replacing the outgoing DB5. The wheelbase was now 4" (100mm) longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with a more raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter-lights made a reappearance, but the major change was at the rear where a ‘Kamm’ tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. "The tail lip halves the aerodynamic lift around maximum speed and brings in its train greater headroom and more luggage space", declared Motor magazine, concluding that the DB6 was one of the finest sports cars it had tested. Tadek Marek’s proven six cylinder engine, which had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5, remained unchanged offering 282bhp on triple SU carburettors rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Premiered at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 Volante marked the first occasion the evocative 'Volante' name had been applied to a soft-top Aston Martin. After 37 Volante convertibles had been completed on the DB5 short-wheelbase chassis, the model adopted the longer DB6 chassis in October 1966. A mere 140 DB6 based Volantes were manufactured, and of these only 29 were specified with the more powerful Vantage engine.  According to a copy of the original build sheet, this right-hand drive, Mk1 DB6 Volante was delivered to its first owner, a Dr Frank Sondheimer of Kensington Palace Gardens, London on the 11th February 1967. DBVC/3611/R had been ordered in Sierra Blue with grey interior and a matching convertible roof and specified from new with Borg-Warner automatic transmission, 3.54:1 limited-slip differential, chrome wire wheels, a power-operated aerial, 7 pints of antifreeze and power-assisted steering. From the Aston’s history file, it appears that its first owner retained the car until May 1980 when he sold it to a gentleman based in Lyon, France. The third owner was also French but it seems he moved to Switzerland at some point during his ownership of the DB6. The fourth owner was also based in Switzerland, having purchased the car on the 14th January 2002. There is a further invoice from 2006 from a ‘Sammy Garage’, a restoration company based in Geneva, prior to the car being exported from Switzerland. There are various invoices in the file from the cars time in France and Switzerland along with a ‘Livret D’entretien et D’utilisation’ booklet for DB5/6 Volantes. The DB6 is presented to auction on a NOVA with UK taxes paid and as #3611/R has spent the past 10 years or so in a large private collection of carefully selected Aston Martins, it will therefore need fully recommissioning before returning to the road. The very pinnacle of British open-top motoring in the 1960s, this beautiful DB6 Volante has, at some point, been fitted with a manual gearbox and upgraded to ‘Vantage spec’ ensuring that, once returned to the roads, this will be a real driver’s car to use and enjoy.  SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6Year: TBCChassis Number: DBVC361112Registration Number: TO BE REGISTEREDMake: Interior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

UK-supplied, right-hand drive, automatic V12 DB7 Vantage Volante with just 43,500 miles from new. Classically finished in a combination of Pentland Green paintwork with Olive and Fawn hide and a dark green mohair hood Comprehensive service history with £17,500 spent in 2016 with marque specialist, R.S. Williams Most recent service performed by an Aston Martin specialist with new battery fitted – 08/07/2020 Supplied with both keys, service book and owner's wallet, UK V5c and a file containing a wealth of related invoices At the Geneva Motor Show in 1999, Aston Martin introduced the long-awaited Vantage version of their successful DB7. Sporting a Cosworth-designed, 5.9-litre V12 producing a creamy 420bhp, the car was super-quick and was electronically limited to 185mph. The V12 had a serious appetite for air compared to its 6-cylinder predecessor, demanding a larger intake and other modifications to the frontal airflow were made to aid cooling. Other changes included chassis and braking upgrades, to cope with the increased performance and Ian Callum enlarged the grille, added fog lamps and re-styled the valances to give the car a more purposeful look. The Vantage interior leather trim was cut and sewn at a special trim shop at Newport Pagnell, where the carpet and wood veneers were also prepared. The 5.9-litre V12 Vantage Volante, costing over £100,000 at its launch, remained in production until 2004. Offered here is a DB7 5.9-litre V12 Vantage Volante automatic, supplied new to its first owner on the 11th September 1999 by Grange Aston Martin. This attractive example is finished in a classic combination of Pentland Green Metallic with an Olive Fawn leather interior and a dark green mohair hood. The original service book is stamped over 18 times, predominantly by the supplying dealer, but also by marque specialists. A whole host of work was completed in 2016 by leading Aston Martin authority R.S. Williams which included: four new tyres, fresh fluid and filters, new F.E.A.D belt, new front brake discs, new catalytic converter and sports exhaust fitted, ignition coil, removing and renewing fuel lines, new ABS sensor, re-fitting of the passenger airbag and a new mohair hood. The invoice for this work totalled a substantial £17,255. In July of this year, the car received its annual service at a marque specialist, by which time it had covered around 43,000 miles. Supplied with a UK V5c, desirable ‘V12’ cherished registration, MOT until 5th August 2021, both sets of keys, and its original handbooks and service book, this incredibly well-maintained DB7 Vantage Volante is in fine order. It has covered very few miles since its service, and DB7s of this calibre rarely come to market. With the prices of its DB predecessors continuing to rise, this well-cared for DB7 surely ticks all the boxes for any serious car collector or marque enthusiast. DB4, 5, 6, and soon the DB7 Vantage. It won't be long!SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB7Year: 1999Chassis Number: SCFAB3231YK400061Registration Number: V12 ASUTransmission: AutoEngine Number: AM200183 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 44000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Cream/GreenClick here for more details and images

In production for one year only, the 1963 split-window Coupe C2 Corvette is the rarest and most desirable.Supplied new by Harry Mann, Los Angeles CA, the largest Chevrolet dealer on the West Coast at the timeFinished in rare Saddle Tan Metallic with a tan interiorDesirable factory options include uprated 300bhp, L75, 327ci engine, Powerglide transmission and electric windowsRestored to NCRS standards achieving a ‘Flight’ award in recognitionFeatured on the cover of and in 'Classic American' magazine and also in 'The Art of the Classic Sports Car' with photography by James MannThe appropriate registration number VET 661 will remain with the vehicleNow in its eighth generation, the Corvette began life in 1953 with the C1 - a model that inspired a generation of young Americans and gave the Ford Empire a nine-year headache. However it was the C2, the immortal Sting Ray produced between 1963 and 1967, that really set Chevrolet's cash registers ringing and left us with the most desired and collectable Corvette to date. Designed by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of the legendary Bill Mitchell, influences on the Sting Ray's unique and unforgettable form are said to include: the E-type Jaguar, a Mako shark once caught by Mitchell, the 'Q Corvette' concept car of 1957 and the 'Mitchell Sting Ray' design exercise.By the autumn of 1959, elements of the two unique Corvettes had been built into XP-720 - the design programme that led to the production of the Sting Ray as we know it. The aims for the new car included: improved passenger accommodation, more luggage space and superior ride and handling and with this, in mind, a new ladder chassis was created for the car by Zora Arkus-Duntov, the most important element of which was the move away from a live axle to independent rear suspension, courtesy of lateral struts, radius rods and transverse leaf spring. The independent front suspension was much as before, as were the recirculating ball steering and there were a number of drive train options available including four small block V8 engines, three transmissions, and six-axle ratios. One major innovation was that the C2 was available in both Convertible and Fastback Coupé form. The latter initially featured a dramatic split rear window, but this was discontinued a year into production and consequently, the 'split-window' cars are now by far the most desirable.The Corvette has since become widely known as "America's Sports Car" and has become synonymous with freedom and adventure, ultimately becoming both "the most successful concept car in history and the most popular sports car in history"Built in St. Louis Missouri, this very rare and desirable 'Split-Window' C2 is the Holy Grail of Corvettes with production only running for one year. Having had just four owners in total, this ‘black plate’ Sting Ray spent its entire life in California before being exported to the UK in September 2014. Prior to that, the car’s second owner had placed it into dry storage in 1980 where it remained until 2011 emerging ripe for restoration with a complete and total chassis-up rebuild taking place over the next two years. Restored to original specification and NCRS ( National Corvette Restorers Society) standard, this matching numbers example finished in Saddle Tan with a Tan interior is one of just 1,505 Powerglide examples to roll off the production line and remains stunning throughout with an attention to detail that is rarely achieved, even the radiator has the correct year date stamp! Factory options include the uprated 300bhp L75 engine, Powerglide 2-speed auto transmission and electric windows.Not only chosen as a cover car for ‘Classic American’ in 2017 with full feature, this outstanding Sting Ray, wearing the appropriate registration number VET 661, is also included in the coffee table book ‘The Art of the Classic Sports Car’ with photography by James Mann, copies of both are included within the comprehensive history file that accompanies the car.If you have been searching for what must be one of, if not the, best 1963 Split Window coupes, certainly in the UK then look no further! We strongly encourage and welcome your earliest inspection to fully appreciate the lengths taken to produce this outstanding example of automotive history that retains a cult following to this very day.

From the private collection of legendary British racing driver Steve Soper, this genuinely original Elan Sprint is simply the best we have ever seen. One of the most original Lotus Elans that we have ever seen This lovely Elan Sprint was supplied new on 27/01/1972 and has one of the most comprehensive history files that we have ever seen With a warranted mileage of just 21,886 Featured in a four-page spread of 'Classic Cars' magazine Offered directly from legendary British racing driver, Steve Soper The glass fibre-bodied Elan may only have been available initially as a Roadster Kit but its specification was very advanced and adhered to Chapman's “just add lightness” engineering philosophy. Power came from Harry Mundy's Ford-based Lotus 1558cc DOHC engine, it was fitted with disc brakes all round, and the independent suspension was set up to optimise ride quality and handling finesse, qualities for which this little car is still admired. It soon sired other derivatives including the Type 26R racer, the Type 36 fixed-head coupe, the Type 45 drop-head coupe, and the Type 50 Elan +2 of 1967.  The 1971 Elan Sprint was essentially based on the Series 4 Elan bodyshell and was primarily designed to rekindle demand and improve the performance of the nine-year-old sports car. Conceived by Lotus Sales Director, Graham Arnold, the Sprint's most notable external feature was the horizontally split two-tone paintwork in half a dozen vibrant colours. Meanwhile, providing the 'go to match the show' a new big-valve cylinder head with high-lift cams and a raised compression ratio, the work of Engineering Director Tony Rudd, provided a 25% increase in power to 126bhp. The drivetrain was suitably toughened and braced and the front callipers were redesigned to cope with the increased performance which was brisk for the time with 60mph arriving in 6.6 seconds,100mph in 19 seconds and a top speed of 123mph. This lovely Elan Sprint was supplied new on 27/01/1972 to a Mr Marcantono of Newcastle upon Tyne in kit form; the car costing £972 and the engine/transmission costing £795. Both invoices are in one of the most comprehensive history files that we have ever seen. There are literally dozens and dozens of invoices (mostly from Midland’s renowned specialist, Paul Matty), old MOTs, CDs containing many pictures and a completed record of all purchases during the car’s life. Unusually for an Elan, this allows us to warrant the mileage of just 21,886 as genuine. It's one of the most original Lotus Elans that we have ever seen. In June 2014, ‘Classic Cars’ magazine thought so too as they featured this particular car in a four-page spread. The magazine article, which waxes lyrical about the superb originality of this car, is included within the astonishing history file. The condition of the car is also outstanding with the best door gaps and overall panel fitment of any Elan ever seen by us. All original tools, jack and service books/handbook are present and just 4 owners shown from new on the V5C; all of them keeping this car for extended periods and clearly enjoying the experience. They say the best is never the cheapest. This Elan Sprint drop head convertible is simply the best we have ever seen and represents a fantastic investment opportunity with outstanding provenance, from known ownership and in a completely ready-to-use condition. Spring is here, classic events are beckoning – let’s go! Our Vendor  Steve Soper Steve Soper is one the most successful and legendary British drivers of all time and Silverstone Auctions is proud to offer his very special Elan Sprint for sale at our May Sale.

Delightful, one owner from new, Series 1 that's been lightly used, well maintained and benefits from over £9,000's worth of recent expenditure.This smart Elise was supplied new by SGT Garages of Maidenhead on 07/01/1999 optioned with driving lights, radio fitting-kit, leather trim and a dealer-fit 'Janspeed' exhaust" for a total sum of £24,502.40Serviced regularly throughout its life with the first service being completed by SGT on 07/01/2000 (10,354)Fabulous service history (see main description). In February 2021 the car went to Bristol Classic Car Restorations for a full service and check over prior to sale (£5,000 +)Very recent paint refresh in its original 3-pack Pearlescent Yellow at a cost of over £4,000.(April 2021)Large history file with detailed invoices, MOTs, V5, Owner's Manuals, original Bill of Sale, etc.It's rare to find a one owner from new Elise and, with its detailed history and very recent expenditure of over £9,000, at this guide it seems remarkable valuePurity is a fragile and vulnerable thing and in August 1996, the revolutionary new Lotus Elise seemed to ooze purity from every extruded anodised aluminium and epoxy resin crevice, with nothing superfluous subtracting from the essence of this truly minimalist, focused little sports car. Although 'beautiful to behold' it certainly was, the time-honoured relationship between 'form and function' was clearly evident in the way it went and handled with its lightweight chassis-tub at 731kg failing to daunt the enthusiasm of the mid-mounted, 1.8-litre K-series engine, and its 118bhp was enough for a 0-60mph time in the low sixes allied to decent torque in the higher ratios. Clothed in two-piece 'clamshell' fibreglass bodywork, the featherweight two-door also featured all round double-wishbone, independent coil-over suspension, rack and pinion steering, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, and a five-speed gearbox. Designer Julian Thomson and engineer Richard Rackham were keen to create a car with something of a motorcycle’s feel, and they undoubtedly succeeded, as is evident as much in the aluminium-and-rubber interior and neat little Stack instrument panel, as in the car's dynamic intimacy with the road, the wind, and the weather. The Elise was a reaction to the corpulent world of leather, luxury, and levers becoming increasingly evident in Lotus road cars, and was an attempt to recreate Colin Chapman’s early principles before he abandoned them in a move upmarket.The early cars were followed in 2002 by the Series 2 but the simpler, more demure Series 1 still defines the breed and this one owner, 1999 Pearlescent Yellow car is a perfect example. It's been completely refreshed very recently (April 2021) and our vendor, its only owner, has provided details of his life with the Lotus;The Elise was supplied new by SGT Garages of Maidenhead on 7 January 1999 with Driving lights, radio fitting kit, alloy window winders and leather trim as factory-fitted options plus a dealer fit "Janspeed" exhaust" for a total sum of £24,502.40.This one-owner car was used mostly in the summer and always garaged.The car was serviced regularly with the first service being completed by SGT on 7 January 2000 at a mileage of 10,354The next major service was conducted by Lakeside Engineering on 17/12/2001 with the mileage at 15,310.Lube/filter servicing was then conducted by the owner until 2008 when the car also had a new exhaust and ball joints fitted by Brooke Kensington Ltd with 34,572 on the odometer.Browns garage of Thame, replaced the cam belt and water pump and completed a full service on 24 July 2016 when the odometer was showing 38,424 miles.Between 2017 and 2019 Williams Automobiles, Lotus dealer, replaced the alternator belt and Yokohama Advan rear tyres (42,419 miles), repair starter motor (42,974 miles), and replaced alternator (46,906 miles). The December 2020 MOT at Browns of Thame required a new catalytic converter and identified some other advisory work - mileage was 54,154.In February 2021 the car went to Bristol Classic Car Restorations for a full service and check over prior to sale. Work completed at a cost of over £5,000 includes: Hood repair, drivers seat retrim and knee/kick panel repairNew water pumpRefurbished wheelsNew discs and padsNew adjustable shock absorbers all roundSuspension and ride height set-up.A factory-approved body shop for a comprehensive respray in 3-pack Pearlescent Yellow paint at a cost of over £4,000. Whilst the car has never been "pranged" the bodywork was tired with stone chip damage to the front clam-shell and door mirrors, and 2 minor grazes to the rear bodywork. In April 2021, Specialised Paintworks have resprayed both the front and rear clam-shells as well as the mirrors and parts of the doors at a cost of £4,000. I have invoices for all the above in a filed in the binder with other supporting documentation (MOTs etc.)The Elise is supplied with its Owner's Manual, the V5C, lots of invoices and an MOT valid until December, 2021.It's very seldom that we are presented with a car where its owner has had such a dedicated approach to servicing and maintenance and it's confidence inspiring. With over £9,000 worth of recent expenditure, this little Lotus seems very sensibly guided and we welcome any inspection.
