1 A 1989 Renault 5TR,<br />
registration number F969<br />
WFX, red. With 42,000 miles<br />
from new, this well presented<br />
five door Renault 5 has been<br />
very well maintained. In the<br />
present ownership the<br />
Renault has had body<br />
repairs, including a new<br />
scuttle by Charles Ware at a<br />
cost of £2,010. The history<br />
file is comprehensive and<br />
includes receipts, MOTs from<br />
1992 (recorded mileage<br />
14,000), owner's handbooks<br />
and operating manuals. This<br />
low mileage Renault would<br />
make an excellent starter<br />
classic and is only for sale<br />
due to a change in the<br />
vendor's plans. V5C, MOT to<br />
February 2017 See<br />
illustration Sold for £1200<br />
2 A 1989 left hand drive Ford<br />
Escort XR3i, French<br />
registered, white. This<br />
French registered XR3i has<br />
been stored undercover in a<br />
barn for the last four or five<br />
years. The vendor advises us<br />
that the bodywork is sound<br />
but the paintwork is dull and<br />
the interior has no rips or<br />
tears and he believes it<br />
should respond well to<br />
cleaning. He also advises<br />
that the car runs and drives<br />
and the odometer reads<br />
12,761 kilometres, but he<br />
feels that the general<br />
condition of the car would<br />
indicate that this is incorrect<br />
and perhaps it should read<br />
112,761 kilometres. The Ford<br />
is offered for auction as a<br />
project and will require<br />
further recommissioning and<br />
restoration before taking to<br />
the road. French registration<br />
documents See illustration<br />
Sold for £850<br />
3 A 1983 BMW 316 two door<br />
saloon, registration number<br />
GUG 89Y, Puszta green. In<br />
single ownership until 2015<br />
and believed 85,000 miles<br />
from new, this BMW was<br />
purchased by a Mr J Beale<br />
from G Eric Hunt Ltd BMW<br />
Ferrensby branch at a cost of<br />
£6,400 (original bill of sale on<br />
file). This low mileage<br />
example is finished in a very<br />
distinctive shade of green<br />
with contrasting green cloth<br />
interior and has a five speed<br />
gearbox. The accompanying<br />
history file is comprehensive<br />
with MOTs from 1992<br />
onwards, service history<br />
stretching back to the original<br />
supplying dealer, and the<br />
original dealer supplied wallet<br />
with all handbooks. V5C,<br />

4 A 2008 Alfa Romeo 147<br />
Ducati Corse Q2 JTDM 16V,<br />
registration number BP08<br />
VYH, red. This limited edition<br />
of 234, three door 147 has<br />
only covered 60,000 miles<br />
from new. It has been in the<br />
current lady's ownership<br />
since 2011 and has wanted<br />
for nothing during that time.<br />
The Ducati Corse was<br />
created by Alfa to celebrate<br />
Ducati's 2007 World Moto GP<br />
victory. As one would expect<br />
the special edition is<br />
equipped to a high standard<br />
with full black leather interior<br />
with contrasting red stitching<br />
and Ducati Corse logo, six<br />
speed gearbox, contrasting<br />
satin finish mirrors and grille,<br />
exclusive 18 inch alloy<br />
wheels, cruise control,<br />
remote central locking, red<br />
brake callipers, climate<br />
control, ABS, Q2 locking<br />
differential, in car<br />
entertainment and exclusive<br />
Ducati Corse badging. This<br />
example has been<br />
fastidiously maintained with a<br />
full service history which has<br />
been carried out by Alfa<br />
Romeo for the first three<br />
years and DS Purcell. The
service book has eight<br />
stamps (last at 57,081 miles),<br />
receipts for maintenance<br />
including a cambelt change<br />
(December 2015), previous<br />
MOTs verifying the mileage<br />
and all dealer supplied<br />
handbooks. The Alfa is now<br />
only for sale due to the lady<br />
owner purchasing a new car.<br />

6 A 1991 Mazda MX-5 first<br />
anniversary limited edition 1-<br />
250, registration number<br />
H595 GKN, British Racing<br />
green. This MX-5 is a little<br />
different from the norm as it<br />
is number one of a limited<br />
edition of 250 which were<br />
produced to celebrate the<br />
introduction of the MX-5 onto<br />
the British market. Number<br />
one was offered as a prize by<br />

Magazine. Mr Steve Clark<br />
was the lucky winner with the<br />
car being handed over by<br />
Tim Watson, PR manager at<br />
Mazda UK, Gavin Green,<br />
Editor at Car and Martin<br />
Bareham, Sales Manager,<br />
Tunbridge Wells, at Mazda<br />

interiors, limited edition<br />
plaque and badge, polished<br />
alloy wheels, wood rim<br />
steering wheel, gear knob<br />
and handbrake handle,<br />

changer. This well presented<br />
lady owned example is<br />
offered for auction with its<br />
original leather presentation<br />
wallet, a letter from Mazda<br />
UK (press) outlining the<br />
advertising<br />
launch,<br />

7 A 1985 Rover SD1 2600<br />
Vanden Plas, registration<br />
number C238 GGJ, Oporto<br />
red. With less than 35,000<br />
miles from new, this time<br />
warp condition SD1 was<br />
originally supplied by Henlys<br />
of Epsom, Surrey. The Rover<br />
has had three previous<br />
owners before it was<br />
purchased by our vendor, a<br />
West Country based<br />
collector, and is finished in a<br />
most attractive colour<br />
combination of Oporto red<br />
with a contrasting oatmeal<br />
cloth interior. The vendor<br />
states that the original tool kit<br />
and wheel brace appear to<br />
have never been used. The<br />
Rover has a history file<br />
containing a run of MOTs<br />
from 1990, which confirm the<br />
low mileage and receipts.<br />
This very original Rover is<br />
now ready to grace another<br />
collection. V5C, MOT to July<br />
2017 See illustration This lot<br />

8 A 1991 Peugeot 205 GTi<br />
1.9, registration number H97<br />
GRK, black. This 205 GTi<br />
was restored approximately<br />
five years ago to a good<br />
standard. Where upon it was<br />
placed in storage until being<br />
removed in July 2016 and<br />
MOTd. The Peugeot is<br />
finished in the usual colour<br />
scheme of black with a full<br />
black leather interior and has<br />
the benefit of the glass<br />
sliding sunroof. The car is<br />
currently SORN and will<br />
probably require some light<br />
recommissioning as it has<br />
not been on the road since<br />
the restoration. V5C, MOT to<br />

9 WITHDRAWN - to be<br />
offered in our auction on<br />
Sunday 12th February 2017:<br />
A 1939 Ford Prefect,<br />
registration number 929<br />
YUU, black. Being a rare<br />
sliding sunroof model, this<br />
Ford offers a little more than<br />
the usual Prefect. It still<br />
retains its original green<br />
leather interior and engine<br />
which has recently benefited<br />
from a comprehensive<br />
rebuild with new pistons,<br />
piston rings, shell bearings<br />
and clutch. The Prefect is<br />
offered for auction with some<br />
history, including the original<br />
RF60, confirming that original<br />
registration number was DAB<br />
118. The vendor informs us<br />
that this charming Ford is on<br />
the button and has been<br />
used as part of a wedding car<br />
fleet where it has performed<br />
faultlessly. The car is offered<br />
for sale due to its diminutive<br />
size causing problems for<br />
brides entering the vehicle<br />
and is being sold to aid the<br />
purchase of a larger car.<br />

III lightweight, registration<br />
number LNA 812V, green.<br />

wheel cylinders, and a<br />
service with a new distributor<br />

11 A 1972 Rover P5B coupé,<br />
registration number NYM<br />
938L, chassis number<br />
84507430, engine number<br />
84018968, Arden green over<br />
Silver Birch. This P5B has<br />
featured in Top Gear with<br />
Richard Hammond.<br />
Introduced in 1969, the P5B<br />
featured the new Buick 3.5<br />
litre engine in the svelte<br />
coupé and saloon bodies.<br />
They found favour with<br />
government ministers, the<br />
business elite and even had<br />
royal patronage. As a coupé<br />
example it is the most sought<br />
after with its contrasting<br />
colour lowered roofline,<br />
sculpted rear seats and<br />
chrome Rostyle wheels.<br />
Having only covered a<br />
believed 79,000 miles from<br />
new, NYM 938L was<br />
supplied by Middlesex<br />
Motors (Harrow) London to<br />
its first owners, Moris, Tozer<br />
& Beck Ltd, London.<br />
Presented in what is probably<br />
the best colour combination<br />
of Arden green with a Silver<br />
Birch roof and Saddle tan<br />
leather interior, featuring its<br />
original radio and toolkit. The<br />
accompanying history file<br />
contains the original Passport<br />
to Service, owner's<br />
handbook, past MOTs and<br />
receipts. P5B coupés are<br />
very fashionable in the<br />
classic car market and this<br />
well presented example<br />
being a previous TV star<br />
should appeal to collectors<br />
and investors alike. V5C,<br />

12 A 1982 Volkswagen Golf<br />
GTi 1.8, registration number<br />
CEG 222Y, red. The iconic<br />
Golf GTi has become the<br />
benchmark to which all other<br />
GTis are compared. This<br />
very well presented example<br />
has been in the current<br />
enthusiast's ownership for<br />
the last 22 years and has<br />
formed part of a small private<br />
collection. The Golf was<br />
subject to a bare metal<br />
respray in the early 90s and<br />
still retains an excellent<br />
appearance.<br />
accompanying<br />
The<br />
history
comprises a stamped service<br />
book up to 1994 (mainly VW)<br />
and receipts from a local<br />
garage thereafter. The<br />
vendor advises us that during<br />
his ownership he has only<br />
added approximately 900<br />
miles to the recorded mileage<br />
of 105,000 miles on the<br />
odometer and the car will be<br />
presented for sale with a new<br />
MOT. V5C, ***MOT to<br />

19 A 1971 Lotus Seven<br />
Series 4, registration number<br />
PER 2J, chassis number<br />
S4/2651TC, metallic gold.<br />
With a believed 54,000 miles<br />
from new, this particular S4<br />
was first registered on 4th<br />
January 1971 and was fitted<br />
with the big valve twin cam<br />
Sprint engine which was<br />
unusual at the time (rebuilt<br />
last year) and sprayed in<br />
gold, which was unusual<br />
again as most were sprayed<br />
in Lotus yellow. It is believed<br />
that the Lotus was possibly<br />
the Earls Court Motor Show<br />
display car which was driven<br />
by Graham Hill and used for<br />
testing at the Lotus track in<br />
Norfolk. The Lotus is<br />
supplied with original Lotus<br />
alloy wheels, full weather<br />
gear including tonneau cover,<br />
MOTs to verify the mileage<br />
and has recently been<br />
resprayed in a colour as
close to the original metallic<br />
gold as possible. This rare<br />
TC Lotus Seven has recently<br />
emerged from nearly 18<br />
years of dry storage. The<br />
Lotus was recommissioned<br />
by the vendor and is now<br />
ready to be enjoyed by the<br />

21 A 1978 Bedford<br />
Chevanne, registration<br />
number GMS 894S, chassis<br />
number 9B70CHX111080,<br />
red. This show winning<br />
Chevanne is one of only a<br />
believed seven registered<br />
examples on the road and<br />
one of less than 20 surviving<br />
examples. The first owner<br />
was SMT in Scotland, a<br />
Vauxhall/Bedford dealer who<br />
used the van for parts<br />
delivery. The second owner<br />
was the SMT workshop<br />
manager, who purchased the<br />
van for his personal use. At<br />
some point the decision was<br />
made to take the van off the<br />
road and it remained in<br />
storage for over 20 years<br />
before a full no expense<br />
spared restoration was<br />
carried out with genuine GM<br />
parts. The third owner was<br />
the workshop managers son<br />
who kept the van for a short<br />
period before selling it to a<br />
Scottish gentleman who saw<br />
it displayed at a classic car<br />
show. There have been two<br />
further owners who have<br />
both cherished and shown<br />
the van extensively before<br />
the current vendor. Having<br />
won several awards and<br />
being featured in numerous<br />
publications over the years<br />
including Classic Van &<br />
Pickup where it has featured<br />
twice including the November<br />
2013 front cover story. This<br />
extremely rare light<br />
commercial is offered with a<br />
history file containing a CD<br />
and numerous photographs<br />
of the restoration, a Vauxhall<br />
Chevette owner's manual,<br />
other booklets, past MOTs<br />

22 A 1959 Morris Marshal,<br />
unregistered, two tone cream<br />
and grey. This extremely rare<br />
Morris Marshal was<br />
manufactured by BMC for the<br />
Australian market, with only<br />
approximately 1,000<br />
manufactured. It is powered<br />
by the 2.6 litre straight six<br />
derived Healey engine<br />
through a four speed column<br />
change gearbox. During its<br />
time in the Southern<br />
hemisphere the Marshal was<br />
used by a family in Tasmania<br />
who would subsequently<br />
donate the car to a Technical<br />
College for refurbishment by<br />
the students. Since being<br />
imported earlier this year the<br />
Morris has been<br />
recommissioned with a new<br />
fuel tank and rebuilt brakes.<br />
The vendor advises us that<br />
he believes this matching<br />
numbers car to have never<br />
been welded and it is<br />
presented in original<br />
condition with a red and grey<br />
interior. This rare Morris<br />
would make an excellent<br />
towing vehicle for a vintage<br />
caravan or classic racing car.<br />

23 A 1960 Ford Thunderbird<br />
coupé, registration number<br />
GIB 7024, Powder/Baby<br />
blue. Ford's first 'personal<br />
car' the T-Bird was conceived<br />
to challenge Chevrolet's<br />
Corvette and made its debut<br />
in October 1954. Endowed<br />
with Ford's new overhead<br />
valve V8, the car would<br />
remain fundamentally<br />
unchanged until 1958 when<br />
the second generation<br />
Square-Bird was introduced.<br />
This version was longer,<br />
offered four seats and was<br />
the first of the line to adopt<br />
unitary construction. This<br />
particular example was<br />
originally exported to Paris<br />
before finding its way to<br />
England in 1987. Finished in<br />
a very becoming shade of<br />
Powder blue with a<br />
contrasting black and cream<br />
interior. The car is described<br />
by the vendor as being very<br />
original and still retains the<br />
original radio, three speed<br />
Cruisermatic gearbox and<br />
352inc V8. This T-Bird<br />
featured in Classic American<br />
in 1988 (copy supplied with<br />
the car) and has been<br />
extensively exhibited on the<br />
South West Classic Car<br />
scene during the vendor's<br />
eleven year custodianship.<br />
Now only for sale due to the<br />
vendor having moved home<br />
and with it the large garage<br />
where the car resided! The T-<br />
Bird will be accompanied to<br />
auction with a history file and<br />

very rare American car on<br />
British roads. V5C, MOT to<br />

24 A 1946 Daimler DB18<br />
shooting brake, registration<br />
number FWD 849, chassis<br />
number 50573, black. This<br />
rare woody shooting brake, is<br />
believed to be the only<br />
remaining example, and is<br />
finished in black coachwork<br />
with a contrasting black vinyl<br />
roof and recently refurbished<br />
ash framework. The interior<br />
is trimmed with brown leather<br />
seats, wooden dashboard,<br />
door cards and reclining rear<br />
seat and is fitted a pre select<br />
gearbox. FWD 849 is a well<br />
known car in woody circles<br />
having attended many classic<br />
vehicle events in the South<br />
West and appearing in<br />
classic publications including<br />
Tailgate Issue 69-2014<br />
where it appeared in an<br />
article that was featured on<br />
the front cover. FWD 849 has<br />
an accompanying history file<br />
which<br />
contains<br />
correspondence from<br />
Daimler including a letter<br />
dated 1947, receipts, past<br />
MOTs, magazine articles and<br />
ephemera. This incredibly<br />
rare shooting brake would<br />
make an excellent tow<br />
vehicle for a vintage racer or<br />
station wagon on a country<br />
estate. The Daimler is now<br />
available for auction due to<br />

WVWZZZ15HK019742,<br />
***engine number DX126537<br />
(not DZ126537)***, red. For<br />
1979 Volkswagen introduced<br />
the right hand drive version<br />
of the now iconic GTi Golf<br />
onto British roads. It would<br />
become not only a popular<br />
fashion item but would also<br />
appeal to an enthusiastic<br />
driver with its top speed of<br />
110 mph and a nine seconds<br />
0-60 time. The Karmann<br />
cabriolet was produced to<br />
replace the evergreen Beetle<br />
and used the Golf saloon<br />
running gear in a bespoke<br />
four seat open body. In the<br />
current ownership for the<br />
past ten years, this honest<br />
and usable example is<br />
described by the vendor as<br />
being good in most respects.<br />
The Golf is offered for<br />

registration number CUF<br />

VRS3/3173, engine number<br />
40FBAH3093, grey over<br />
silver. During the 1960s<br />
BMC, Rolls-Royce and the<br />
pre-eminent coach builder,<br />
Vanden Plas collaborated on<br />
several projects, culminating<br />
in the Vanden Plas Princess<br />
4-Litre R launched in 1964.<br />
The luxury saloon featured a<br />
modified Farina A110 body<br />
with a unique tail design, the<br />
Rolls-Royce FB60 4-litre six<br />
cylinder engine and a<br />
sumptuous leather, walnut<br />
and Wilton carpeted interior.<br />
This extremely low mileage<br />
example was originally<br />
supplied by Stringers of<br />
Brighton to a Mr Letts, who<br />
was to retain the car until his<br />
death in 1985, whereupon it<br />
passed on to another family<br />
member. Since then there<br />
has been one further<br />
custodian. The Princess<br />
would remain in storage for<br />
eighteen years until being<br />
recommissioned with a brake<br />
overhaul, a new fuel tank,<br />
and carburettor overhaul.<br />
The car was originally<br />
supplied in black over grey,<br />
which was felt a little too<br />
severe. A full quality respray<br />
was carried out in metallic<br />
grey over silver to<br />
compliment the beautifully<br />
preserved tan leather interior.<br />
With only 35,000 miles<br />
recorded on the odometer,<br />
confirmed with a large run of<br />
MOTs from 1968, and a<br />
history file containing the<br />
original Passport to Service<br />

must be one of the lowest<br />

33 A 1976 left hand drive<br />
Porsche 912E, chassis<br />
number 9126001717, white.<br />
Porsche's 912E is one of the<br />
rarest Porsche models made,<br />
with only 2,099 manufactured<br />
to compliment the 911S in<br />
the lucrative North American<br />
market. The 912E shared the<br />
911S chassis and body<br />
styling but incorporated the<br />
914 fuel injected two litre<br />
derived engine. This 911E<br />
was imported from Arizona in<br />
2015 and was originally<br />
supplied by Alan Johnson<br />
Porsche on 30th June 1976<br />
to its first registered keeper<br />
Dennis Foster & Son. Having<br />
been imported from a dry<br />
state the Porsche has a solid<br />
and rust free body shell. Prior
to being imported the engine<br />
was rebuilt by Lloyd Mosher<br />
Enterprises Porsche and VW<br />
in California. The engine is<br />
fitted with a twin Weber<br />
performance kit which has<br />
been tuned since arriving in<br />
Britain. Further works carried<br />
out have included the<br />
rebuilding of the gearbox,<br />
general servicing and<br />
preparation for the MOT,<br />
which it passed on 1st<br />
September 2016 without any<br />
advisories. The Porsche is<br />
offered for auction with the<br />
original fuel injection system<br />
should the next custodian<br />
wish to reinstate the car to<br />
original specification, the<br />
original warranty and<br />
maintenance manual,<br />
Arizona certificate of title,<br />
HRMC duties paid paperwork<br />
and current MOT. The<br />
Porsche is now ready to be<br />
registered to its first British<br />
owner and offers excellent<br />

counterpart in today's classic<br />
car market. ***MOT to<br />

Calypso red. The Giorgetto<br />
Giugiaro's designed Esprit<br />
was launched at the Paris<br />
Auto Show in October 1975,<br />
replacing the Europa in the<br />
Lotus model line. The Esprit<br />
would go on to find fame in<br />
two James Bond movies, The<br />
Spy Who Loved Me in 1977,<br />
where a white S1 would<br />
transform into a submarine,<br />
and For Your Eyes Only in<br />
1981, where two Essex<br />
Turbos in white and copper<br />
starred alongside Roger<br />
Moore. This normally<br />
aspirated example has<br />
covered a mileage of less<br />
than 70,000 miles over its 35<br />
years on the road,<br />
substantiated by a run of<br />
MOTs from 1984. Finished in<br />

III saloon, registration<br />
number BEW 234, black.<br />
Launched at the 1937<br />
London Motor Show<br />
alongside its 10, 12 and 25<br />
stable mates, the 14 featured<br />
an overhead valve engine,<br />
four speed gearbox with<br />
synchromesh on third and<br />
fourth, painted (rather than<br />
chrome) radiator cowl,<br />
Easyclean wheels, and<br />
sliding sunroof. This<br />
incredibly original example<br />
was discovered in barn find<br />
condition in a West London<br />
garage where it had been in<br />
hibernation since the 1970s.<br />
Being a Series III car it is one<br />
of approximately 5,000<br />
produced between 1938 and<br />
early 1939, and it is believed<br />
to be one of only six known<br />
to the pre-1940 Morris<br />
register. Since awakening the<br />
Morris from its slumber in<br />
2011 the vendor has traced<br />
the history to its time as a<br />
staff car with the Air Ministry<br />
at RAF Warboys and<br />
subsequent sale to the local<br />
village store in February<br />
1944. Having transported the<br />
Morris back to his home in<br />
Somerset, he embarked on a<br />
programme<br />
of<br />
recommissioning the car,<br />
retaining as much originality<br />
as possible. Works carried<br />
out include replacing the two<br />
6 volt batteries, new cross ply<br />
tyres all round, reconditioning<br />
the Jackall system,<br />
overhauling the breaking<br />
system, respraying the<br />
bonnet and rear spare wheel<br />
cover and servicing the car<br />
as necessary. The<br />
accompanying history file<br />
contains two original<br />
handbooks, Morris Garages<br />
trade catalogue, Lucas<br />
service information, an<br />
original sales brochure and<br />
Government War information<br />
leaflet (dated 1939). This<br />
extremely rare and original<br />
Morris has attended local<br />
classic car events in the<br />
current ownership, where it<br />
has been well admired and is<br />
now offered for auction so<br />
the vendor can concentrate<br />

Tiptronic<br />
cabriolet,<br />
registration number H957<br />
NEY, Guards red. New for<br />
1989 the 964 featured both<br />
two and four wheel drive<br />
versions and had an<br />
estimated 85% new<br />
components compared to its<br />
911 predecessor. The engine<br />
had increased to 3.6 litres,<br />
the suspension was new with<br />
coil springs and shock<br />
absorbers to replace the<br />
previous torsion bar<br />
suspension, ABS braking<br />
was added for the first time,<br />
the bumpers and fog lamps<br />
became flush with the body<br />
and the ingenious electric<br />
rear spoiler raised at speeds<br />
over 50mph. This particular<br />
example, finished in the<br />
classic colour combination of<br />
Guards red with a full black<br />
leather interior, is a C16 UK<br />
specified right hand drive<br />
Tiptronic version, which was<br />
first registered in 1990 in<br />
Germany and found its way<br />
to the UK in 1996. The<br />
vendor describes the car as
eing in splendid shape, and<br />
is equipped with power hood,<br />
new soft top and tonneau<br />
cover, 17 inch cup alloy<br />
wheels, tear drop mirrors,<br />
Porsche cup steering wheel,<br />
and service history to verify<br />
the 110,000 miles on the<br />
odometer. The condition of<br />
the Porsche can possibly be<br />
put down to having formed<br />
part of a small private<br />
Porsche collection where it<br />
has always been<br />
mollycoddled. The car is now<br />

registration number EPK<br />
233B, chassis number<br />
408/7041, engine number<br />
949/23638C, car number<br />
408-1-041, gearbox number<br />
1909340, black over<br />
champagne. This matching<br />
numbers 408 is one of only<br />
83 examples produced<br />
between 1963 and 1965.<br />
They all featured the 5.1 litre<br />
V8 engine matched to the<br />
Torque Flite automatic<br />
gearbox and coil spring front<br />
suspension in place of the<br />
previous 407s transverse leaf<br />
spring setup. This particular<br />
fine example was in single<br />
family ownership for 42 years<br />
before being purchased by<br />
Marksdanes Ltd, the<br />
respected restoration<br />
company in Somerset.<br />
Originally supplied by<br />
Anthony Crook Motors Ltd to<br />
its first custodian, the<br />
managing director of Norman<br />
Isherwood & Company Ltd,<br />
Bolton, before the second<br />
owner a Mr Sidney Newman<br />
from Clifton Bristol was in<br />
possession of the car from<br />
1965 to 1971 when he sold<br />
the Bristol back to the<br />
supplying dealer. Anthony<br />
Crook subsequently sold the<br />
408 to Mr David Oxford of<br />
Southwell, Nottinghamshire<br />
who retained the car until his<br />
death, where upon ownership<br />
passed to his daughter who<br />
retained the Bristol until<br />
selling the car to Marksdanes<br />
Ltd, with over a remarkable<br />
42 years in a single family<br />
ownership. On acquiring the<br />
vehicle a thorough<br />
recommissioning and<br />
refurbishment programme of<br />
works was carried out. This<br />
included a full high quality<br />
respray in a stunning colour<br />
combination of black over<br />
champagne. The interior<br />
benefited from new Wilton<br />
carpets, new headlining and<br />
reveneering of all wood<br />
surfaces. The engine had a<br />
cylinder head overhaul, the<br />
carburettors were rebuilt and<br />
the engine bay was detailed<br />
with consumables as<br />
necessary. Since completion<br />
the engine has been tuned<br />
by Sigma Engineering, which<br />
the vendor says has done<br />
wonders to the overall<br />
running and performance.<br />
Further noteworthy works<br />
included a brake overhaul,<br />
refurbished wheels and new<br />
Avon Turbosteel tyres and<br />
rechromed bumpers. All of<br />
this hard work has created a<br />
handsome gentleman's<br />
express which is ready to be<br />
enjoyed by the next lucky<br />
owner, perhaps for another<br />
40 years! RF60, V5C, MOT<br />

MG TB Special, registration<br />

number TB0478, red. MG's<br />
TB is one of the rarest of the<br />
MGs, with only 379 being<br />
manufactured before the<br />
outbreak of WWII. They were<br />
to feature the all new XPAG<br />
engine, which would go on to<br />
power almost every MG<br />
model and several special<br />
racing cars for the next 15<br />
years. This particular TB<br />
Special has been imported<br />
from Australia by the vendor<br />
and sports a unique and very<br />
rakish two seat body. The<br />
Special was constructed by<br />
an engineer and is well<br />
known to the TB register and<br />
saw some mild competition<br />
use in Australia. The XPAG<br />
engine fitted has been tuned<br />
with an unleaded cylinder<br />
head and breathes through
1.5 inch SU carburettors. The<br />
exhaust is a four branch type,<br />
the differential, suspension<br />
and the gearbox have all<br />
been uprated and modified<br />
and the car sits on 16 inch<br />
wire wheels, which enhance<br />

for the past 27 years. During<br />
his ownership the BMW was<br />
subject to a bare metal<br />
respray in the 1990s at a cost<br />
of £2,700 and since then the<br />
vendor has added<br />

mileage, due to the car<br />
forming part of a collection.<br />
The MG will be offered for<br />

registration number LLT<br />
811P, chassis number<br />
CR65590, engine number<br />
CR004477HE, magenta.<br />
Introduced in 1969 the<br />
refreshed Karmann designed<br />
TR6 was the last of the<br />
separate chassis traditional<br />
sports cars produced by<br />
Triumph. From 1969 to 1975<br />
they were initially available<br />
with the 150 bhp rated<br />
engine, with the final year of<br />
production seeing the fuel<br />
injected engine seeing a<br />
reduction in power to 125<br />
bhp. This 125 bhp desirable<br />
manual overdrive example is<br />
finished in striking magenta<br />
and has been in the vendor's<br />
ownership since 2002, when<br />
it was purchased from a<br />
house sale at Heightley<br />
Manor, Chudleigh, Devon, in<br />
a restored condition with a<br />
***file (see below)*** of<br />
restoration works carried out.<br />
Since then the vendor has<br />
used the TR6 very sparingly<br />
only adding a modest couple<br />
of thousand miles to the<br />
odometer. Recently the TR6<br />
has benefited from a new<br />
clutch, alternator and battery.<br />
This very handsome and<br />
honest example would now<br />
benefit from some TLC to<br />
bring it back up to a show<br />
standard and is offered for<br />
auction with a large history<br />
file containing receipts, and<br />
MOTs. V5C, MOT to October<br />

registration number KMC<br />
737W, chassis number<br />
GAECAL050280, engine<br />

3.0 S is the most expensive<br />
model of Capri to be sold at<br />
auction. Earlier this year, a<br />
1978 example that was used<br />
by Lewis Collins portraying<br />
the SAS Sergeant William<br />
Bodie in the hit TV series The<br />
Professionals, Sold for £a<br />
record £55,000. At launch in<br />
1978, the Mk III carried over<br />
the previous Mk II engine and<br />
running gear combinations in<br />
the face lifted body shell, and<br />
in 3.0 S configuration has<br />
become generally regarded<br />
amongst enthusiasts as the<br />
most desirable. This example<br />
has been restored and<br />
maintained to a high<br />
standard and has recently<br />
formed part of a private<br />
collection. The Capri looks<br />
very rugged with its black<br />
coachwork and recently<br />
retrimmed interior which<br />
incorporates the correct<br />
Carla check fishnet Recaro<br />
seats and a rare RS four<br />
spoke leather rimmed<br />
steering wheel. This now rare<br />
hot Ford is offered for auction<br />
with an impressively large<br />
history file containing<br />
numerous receipts, a run of<br />

59 A 1962 Bentley S3<br />
standard saloon, registration<br />
number RDX 283, chassis<br />
number B50CN, engine<br />
number BCN25, Seychelles<br />
blue. Introduced in 1962 the<br />
revived S3 featured the<br />
6230cc all aluminium V8,<br />
distinctive four head lamp<br />
lighting, the removal of the<br />
side lights from the wing<br />
tops, a slightly lower radiator<br />
shell and an improved interior<br />
with increased room for the<br />
rear passengers and<br />
individual front seats. B50CN<br />
would appear to have had a<br />
cosseted life with its three<br />
registered keepers, since<br />
being despatched to H R<br />
Owen the supplying dealer<br />
on 9th November 1962.<br />
Originally finished in Shell<br />
grey over Tudor grey with a<br />
grey leather interior. LWL<br />
Alston Esq of Messars<br />
Alston, Ipswich, Suffolk<br />
would subsequently take<br />
delivery on 15th November<br />
and would retain the Bentley<br />
until 1993. The second owner<br />
a Mr Gerald Small of Belfast<br />
acquired B50CN on 30th<br />
August 1993. He would also<br />
become a long term owner<br />
before being acquired by<br />
Alistair Daker, a Bentley<br />
classic car specialist in<br />
December 2015 who would<br />
supply the car to our vendor<br />
in January 2016. It is<br />
understood that during Mr<br />
Smalls custodianship<br />
extensive renovation work<br />
was carried out by Meriden,<br />
the classic Ferrari and<br />
Maserati specialist in the<br />
New Forest. Their rear<br />
window sticker is still in place<br />
today. It is likely that the<br />
colour change to Seychelles<br />
blue took place then. This<br />
work included new front and<br />
rear screen and door<br />
rubbers. There is an early<br />
invoice from around a similar<br />
time from Messars Arnett of<br />
Bournemouth, official Rolls-<br />
Royce and Bentley<br />
distributors, who carried out<br />
£5,000 of mechanical<br />
restorations works, mainly on<br />
the brakes and a 6,000 mile<br />
service at the same time.<br />
This work was carried out at<br />
a recorded mileage of 99,000<br />
miles, just 12,000 miles ago.<br />
Little used over the last 23<br />
years, B50CN now comes to<br />
the market as a thoroughly<br />
useable, on the button<br />
example and has seen recent<br />
excursions to London and<br />
back from South Devon and<br />
the vendor states without<br />
fault or missing a beat and<br />
achieving 21 mpg on the<br />
motorway. Good oil pressure<br />
and water temperature<br />
readings were maintained<br />
during these journeys. As an<br />
older restoration, B50CN<br />
would benefit from minor<br />
paint work refreshment here<br />
and there but has good<br />
chrome work, including a<br />
recently rechromed front<br />
bumper and a stunning<br />
original interior. Now with<br />
only 111,000 miles on the<br />
odometer, B50CN is offered<br />
for auction with an original<br />
sales brochure, construction<br />
& test records from RREC,<br />
the Arnett of Bournemouth<br />
invoice, a letter confirming<br />
the mileage from Mr Gerald<br />
Small, an original workshop<br />
