chassis number GHD5-290028G, engine number

18V847F-H1574, teal blue. The evergreen MG B

was launched in 1962 with the fast back GT

version joining it in 1965. This GT has been in the

current ownership for the past seven years, and

during that time there has been kept a detailed log

of all maintenance and expenditure. The

coachwork is finished in teal blue and the front

seats are faced in black leather. the engine has

been converted to run on leaded petrol. the four

speed gearbox is fitted with overdrive on third and

fourth gears and the current owner has fitted

optional extras comprising rear fog lamps, twin air

horns and rear seat belts to aid safety. During the

present ownership the car has taken part in many

classic car tours, shows and events and has proved

very reliable. Reluctantly the car is only for sale

due to the owners recent ill health and must be

sold. V5C, MOT to May 2011, taxed to September

2 A 1983 Land Rover Series III SWB, registration

number DHP 485Y, chassis number

SALLBAA11AA184572, engine number

36127106. The ever popular Landie has gone

through several mechanical and cosmetic changes

throughout its production run, but has always been

a rugged and purposeful off-road vehicle, which is

recognised throughout the world. The Series III

version was launched in 1971, in both long (109

inch chassis) and short (88 inch chassis) wheel

base forms, with either two or four door body

styles, and remained in production until 1985,

when the new 90 took over the reins. This 21/4

litre petrol engined Landie has recently benefited

from some mechanical overhauling, including a

partial engine rebuild with reconditioned cylinder

head, one new piston and ring, and a full service.

The interior is fitted with grey cloth seats from

Exmoor Trim, which are much more comfortable

than the standard items. There are free-wheel

front hubs (which aid economy and wear) and a

tow bar and electrics fitted for towing duties.

Accompanying the car is a large history file with

service and maintenance receipts and old MOTs.

The vendor informs us that the Land Rover is

running well and is only for sale so he can

got more luxurious as the years have progressed

two registered keepers since. The second and

current owner acquired the motorcycle in 1999.

The XJ750 is equipped with a DOAC inline four

cylinder engine and has shaft drive. During the

current ownership the motorcycle has been MOT'd

by Just Bikes of Shaftesbury. The history file

contains the old MOTs from 1999 and a Haynes

workshop manual. With it's current MOT, the

motorcycle is now ready for the next owner to

enjoy. V5C, no current MOT or tax See

illustration £700 - 1000

13 A 1975 BMW 1602 two door saloon,

registration number JFX 453N, chassis number

3561166, engine number 3561166. This unusual

1602 is finished in white with a blue interior and

was purchased by its lady owner in 1978. Its first

registered keeper is recorded as George Robert

Knapman of Salisbury. The speedometer indicates

a mileage of approximately 126,000, it has its

original radio, hand book and service history. The

interior has been re-upholstered and new front

wings have been fitted, and the car was last on the

road in 2003. V5C, no current MOT or tax See

illustration £800 - 1200

14 A 1981 TR7, converted to a TR8 in 2005,

£2400 - 2600

15 A 1965 Bristol 408 Mk I, registration number

HPF 399C, chassis number 4087063. The Bristol

408 was produced between 1963 and 1966 in Mk I

& Mk II versions. The 408 was the second model

to incorporate the Chrysler V8 engine in the

Bristol model range. The 407, the 408's

predecessor, was a first and was a major departure

from previous Bristol models, which had always

used their own six cylinder engines. HPF 399C, a

Mk I version was first registered on the 13th April

1965 and was finished with grey coachwork and

grey leather interior. The current custodian has

prepared the bodywork for the final top coat of

paint, at present the chassis has been repaired and

repair sections have been welded into the inner

wheel arches and other panels. The body has

received coats of etch primer and a guide coat for

final flatting down before the application of the

top coats of paint. The leather interior appears in

quite good condition and would respond

favourably to a good clean and feed. The vendor

informs us that HPF 399C is running and has

uprated front brakes supplied by Coopercraft.

This exciting and rare barn find restoration project

(83 Mk I & Mk II 408s were manufactured) now

offers the next owner an opportunity to finish the

restoration at their own pace, benefiting from

having had a lot of the hard work and expense

already carried out. V5C, no current MOT or tax

See illustration £3400 - 3800

19 A 1978 MG B Roadster, registration number

UPA 437S, chassis number GHN5-452299G,

engine number 13B847-20174. This MG B

Roadster had a comprehensive restoration during

the 00's. The work included new sills, castle

sections, full re-spray, engine rebuild with new

piston rings, conrods and re-conditioned unleaded

cylinder head, overhauled carburettors, rebuilt

front and rear suspension, new front and rear

brakes with new discs and rear shoes, new hood,

black interior, stainless steel exhaust and door and

window seals. The car has covered a believed

genuine 84,000 miles from new and only 1,000 in

the last thirteen years as verified by the old

MOT's. There is an extensive history file with

receipts and old MOT's. V5C, MOT or tax to be

advised See illustration

20 A 1957 Morris Minor two door saloon,

registration number NMO 743, chassis number

FBP11/488258, engine number N46258. This

saloon is finished in the rare Morris Minor colour

of pale ivory with maroon interior and fitted a 948

cc engine. V5C, MOT to April 2012, tax exempt

See illustration £3200 - 3500

21 A Sunbeam Alpine See illustration

22 A 1976 Mini Clubman, registration number

SGN 237R, chassis number XL2W2-386629A,

engine number 99HA9AP102132. The Sir Alec

Issigonis designed Mini was launched in 1959 just

at the dawn of the swinging sixties and was to

become a British icon of that period. Starring in

the British classic film The Italian Job and

becoming a celebrity accessory adopted by pop

stars and film stars alike. This low mileage and

original Mini has covered a believed 55,000 miles

from new. Finished in blue with a blue velour

interior carrying the rare option of automatic

transmission. There is a good history file

accompanying the Mini with past MOTs and

service receipts. These small estate cars make

very practical classic cars which are capable of

everyday use. V5C, MOT and taxed to September

2011 See illustrations £2000 - 3000

23 A Morris Marina Camper Van See illustration

24 A 1962 Hillman Minx £2500 - 3000

25 A 1966 Jaguar Mk II 3.4, registration number

FOF 338D, chassis number 170463DN, engine

number KJ8903-8, body number EO65468.

Jaguar announced its new compact sports saloon at

the end of 1955, the first lucky customers taking

delivery in 1966. The Mk II version became

available in October 1959 with 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8

XK engine options. FOF 338D was supplied by

Henley's of London on 11th February 1966 to its

first custodian, the Dunlop Rubber Co-Ltd, St

James, London, SW1. A very desirable manual

overdrive example, FOF 338D is finished in dark

blue which complements the grey leather interior.

There is a full and comprehensive history

documenting maintenance and restoration. This

includes service history with Henley's until 1972,

service vouchers, handbooks, correspondence,

specialist receipts, MOTs from 1969, tax discs

from February 1967 and details of a bare metal

rebuild by Southern Classics in 1994, which was

done just prior to the current ownership. During

the present ownership, the Jaguar has been

maintained to an extremely high standard with no

expense spared. Recent improvements include a

Kenlow fan, high torque starter motor, a stainless

steel exhaust, power assisted steering, Cooper

Craft disc brakes conversion, chrome wire wheels

with new tyres and a Moto-lita wood rim steering

wheel. The vendor informs us that FOF 338D has

been extremely reliable, completing several

Continental tours, performing faultlessly. This

beautifully prepared and fettled example of the

iconic Mk II is ready for the next owner to enjoy

now that it has been correctly maintained. V5C,

MOT to June 2011 (new MOT to be advised) tax

exempt See illustrations £17000 - 20000

26 A 1948 Jowett Bradford CB Light Van,

registration number GOT 244, chassis number

D8CB15827, engine number D8CB15827. The

Jowett Motor Manufacturing Company was

founded by William and Benjamin Jowett in 1904,

making their first car in 1906. They were initially

based at Back Burlington Street in Bradford but

moved to the Springfield Works on Bradford Road

in Idle after WWI, when the name of the company

changed to Jowett Cars Ltd. Various models were

produced between the wars, using their flat twin

and flat four engines including the Kestrel, Seven,

Weasel and Ten. After WWII the two cylinder

engines were discontinued from the car range but

continued in the commercials in 1005 cc form

until production ceased in 1953. GOT 244 was

first registered in Southampton on 20th August

1948. Little of its early history is known until

1966, when the van was owned by a Mr John

Henry Woolford of Swindon. The next owner, Mr

Anthony Turner, discovered the van in a Swindon

scrap yard in 1975 and after some initial small

repairs used it as his every day transport for many

years. There were subsequently three further

owners until the current owner acquired the

vehicle in 2009. The attractive maroon body was

built by Briggs Motor Bodies Ltd of Dagenham,

which complements the brown interior. GOT 244

has obviously been restored in the past but

unfortunately there isn't any supporting history.

The vendor informs us that GOT 244 performs

very well on today's roads and returns excellent

fuel economy. Accompanying the van are an

owner's handbook, spares manual, some old

MOTs, maintenance receipts and RF60

continuation log book. With light commercials

becoming increasingly popular with enthusiasts,

GOT 244 now offers the next owner and

opportunity to purchase a rare van, which would

be welcomed at both commercial and classic car

events. V5C, MOT to July 2011 (new MOT to be

advised), tax exempt See illustrations £7500 -

8500

27 A 1975 BMW 320 automatic, registration

number OBA 73P, chassis number 4260050. This

BMW 320 is believed to be the oldest known right

hand drive survivor, leaving the Bavarian motor

works production line in November 1975.

Arriving at the Bridgwater BMW dealership where

it was registered to first owner in January 1976

and had the distinctive registration number CYB

1J. The second owner purchased the car in 1978

and the current owner acquired it in 1997. At this

time the vendor re-sprayed the bonnet and the

sides and carried out local repairs to the B pillars.

A new rear bumper centre section was fitted and

the wheels were refurbished. All other areas

remained untouched and there were just 66,000

miles on the clock. Since the initial refurbishment

no further remedial work has been necessary apart

from regular servicing and replacement of

consumables. This extremely original BMW still

retains its original tool kit and Blaupunkt radio.

OBA 73P is finished in blue with a vinyl interior.

The history file contains the owners handbook,

radio manual, a four page article featuring this car

in Total BMW (September 2003) and some

service history. For the BMW collector this must

be a wonderful opportunity to purchase a three

series with continuous history and the added

cachet of being believed to be the oldest known

survivor. V5C, MOT and taxed to October 2011

See illustrations £2500 - 2800

30 A 1980 Reliant Scimitar GTC automatic,

registration number GOX 917W. The stylish GTC

four seat convertible version of the SE6 GT came

onto the market in 1980 and remained in

production until 1986. There were a total of 442

production models made, making it the rarest of

the Scimitars. This automatic is in quite

extraordinarily original condition, having been

purchased by the current owner in 1981 from the

supplying dealer (original bill of sale on file) with

just over 1,000 miles on the clock, having been

used as a demonstrator. The Scimitar Owner's

Club have informed the owner that they believe

this GTC to be the most original on the road today.

The current mileage of less than 45,000 miles is

verified with MOTs. Finished in a very distinctive

metallic antelope with a contrasting fawn and

saddle tan cloth and vinyl interior, the car further

benefits from other Lucas refinements such as

electric windows, mirrors and aerial, power

assisted steering, stereo radio, stainless steel

exhaust, double duck hood and an extremely rare

and desirable works hard top with heated rear

window. This GTC is in wonderful original

condition and is a very practical and stylish four

seat convertible alternative to a Triumph Stag,

Mercedes Benz SL or Saab, and with its robust

and relatively cheap Ford engine and running gear,

it should be able to be maintained to a high

standard at a reasonable cost. V5C, MOT and tax

to be advised See illustrations £4000 - 4500

31 A 1982 MG B Roadster, registration number

JBK 8X, chassis number GHN5487151, engine

number 30173. The MG B was introduced in

1962 to replace the MG A and was a modern

design. It was quite a departure from previous

models as it had a monocoque body and not a

separate chassis as used in all other MG cars. A

GT version was added to complement the roadster

in 1965. Production continued until 1980 and

various cosmetic changes took place throughout,

the most visually obvious being the introduction of

black rubber bumpers and increased ride height

from 1975. This particular rubber bumper MG B

is unusual as it was first registered in 1982, two

years after production had ceased. The body is

finished in very bright Inca yellow, and the

interior has candy stripe orange and black

upholstered seats fitted. The dashboard has been

upgraded with walnut veneers and there is also a

wood-rim steering wheel fitted. The engine

benefits from having an unleaded cylinder head

and the four speed gearbox has over-drive, for

more relaxed high speed motoring. Further

improvements include a stainless steel exhaust and

painted wire wheels. There are maintenance and

repair bills for the last 10 years in the history file.

This well maintained MG B has been used by the

current owner on a regular basis, including

commuting, and has always proved very reliable.

He informs us that the car is only for sale to enable

the purchase of a vintage car to use in his

retirement. V5C, MOT to June 2012, taxed to

October 2011 See illustrations £3000 - 3500

32 A 1959 MG A 1600 Mk I Roadster, registration

number YFO 628, chassis number GHNL74498.

In 1955 MG launched the new aerodynamically

styled MG A in both roadster and fixed head

coupe body styles, initially powered by the 1500

cc four cylinder engine. In 1962 the Mk II was

introduced with disc front brakes and engine

capacity increased to 1600 cc. Alongside the

standard cars, the exotic twin cam engined car was

available between 1958 and 1960, which was sold

in very small numbers and is very desirable today.

This MG A Roadster was originally a left hand

drive car, which was exported to the west coast of

America. It was imported from California in 1987

and was subsequently restored and converted to

right and drive by the MG & Austin Healey

specialists, Murray-Scott-Nelson. In the current

ownership since 1996, YFO 628 has been

maintained to a high standard and enjoyed and

used on a regular basis. YFO 628 is finished in

Chariot Red with a black leather interior. She is

fitted with a double duck hood, tonneau cover,

cockpit cover and side screens. She is also fitted

with an MG B five bearing engine with unleaded

cylinder head, three branch manifold, stainless

steel exhaust and 1¾ inch SU carburettors. For

reliability, a digital electric fuel pump and Kenlow

fan are also fitted. In addition, to aid the luggage

carrying capacity (not a strong point with MG As)

there is a chrome luggage rack fitted. There is a

large history file accompanying the car, with

restoration receipts, photos of the restoration in

progress, service bills, old MOTs, American title

papers and current maintenance receipts from

Whitchampton Garage. The vendor informs us

that YFO 628 has been a joy to own and has been

extremely reliable during his ownership. V5C,

MOT to August 2011, tax exempt See

illustrations £15000 - 18000

33 A 1927 Rolls Royce 20 hp Park Ward Tourer,

registration number YT 7222, chassis number

GRJ36, engine number S91. Rolls Royce

announced its new small car in 1922, which was

designed to meet the harsher economic climate of

the time. They were built with the owner/driver in

mind, rather than the larger luxurious 40/50

models, which were invariably chauffeur driven.

Initially available between 1922 and 1925 with the

rear brake chassis and three speed gearbox, this

was subsequently improved from 1925 with the

introduction of front servo assisted brakes and four

speed gearbox, both chassis configurations

employed the same 3127 cc six cylinder engines.

Rolls Royce found the 20 hp chassis very popular

with clients and 2940 were sold between 1922 and

1929. GRJ36, and its extremely original four

braked chassis car, retains its original Park Ward

tourer body, hood, interior, engine and running

gear. The car has been in the current family

ownership since 1973. At the time of purchase the

odometer read 39,350 miles and between 1973 and

1989 mileage rose to 50,000 miles. In 1989 the

car was put into dry storage where it remained

until recently. GRJ36 was removed from

hibernation earlier this year and a programme of

recommissioning has taken place to obtain a new

MOT for the first time in over twenty years. The

bodywork is finished in light green over black

with a beautiful patented dark blue leather interior,

black canvas hood, tonneau and hood cover. The

side screens are present, the rear passengers have

the benefit of Auster screen to protect them when

the hood is lowered and there are side mounted

spare wheels, a large boa constrictor horn and rear

trunk fitted. Such original and low mileage Rolls

Royces rarely come onto the market these days

and as such are very sought after by collectors. It

is hoped that the next custodian will preserve

GRJ36 in the same manner as the current owners

have. RF60, V5, MOT to be advised, tax exempt

£40000 - 45000

34 A 1968 Jaguar 240, registration number TAB

16F, chassis number 152131DN, engine number

7J2361-8, British Racing Green. Jaguars 240 and

340 were the last throw of the dice for their

compact saloon models, which were first seen in

1955 with the Mk I and subsequently

metamorphosed into the Mk II from 1959. TAB

16F has benefited from a substantial rebuild in

recent years, including a bare metal repaint in

British Racing Green (photographs on file), new

carpets, a re-polished dashboard and door

cappings, re-chromed bumpers, a new clutch and

flywheel and numerous other service items. The

interior is finished in black ambla, there is a four

speed gearbox with overdrive fitted and she sits on

steel wheels with chrome embellishers. The

history file contains maintenance and restoration

receipts, old MOTs, photographs of the bodywork

restoration and a photocopy of a previous V5.

TAB 16F is now ready for the next custodian to

drive and enjoy. V5C, MOT to August 2011, tax

exempt See illustrations £10000 - 15000

35 A 1959 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite,

registration number 515 KRB, chassis number

AN5-10055, engine number 12CCDAH6987. In

Iris Blue it has the larger 1275 cc engine and

gearbox fitted, and has recently received uprated

disc brakes to the front and a new brake/clutch

master cylinder. It has also recently received new

Minilite style alloy wheels and tyres, new seats

and carpets and new chrome work. In addition, it

also has its side screens and tonneau. V5C, RF60,

MOT to June 2012, tax exempt See illustrations

£8500 - 9500

36 A 1998 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing Anton

Ostermeier Recreation, registration number 300

GWN. The iconic 300SL Gullwing made its debut

in 1952 and was powered by a six cylinder three

litre 215 bhp fuel injected engine. The Gullwing

was joined in time by a roadster version. The

Gullwing also saw great racing success with a win

at Le Mans in 1952 and the SLR roadster version

won the 1955 Mille Miglia driven by Stirling

Moss with his co driver Dennis Jenkinson. This

Anton Ostermeier version of the iconic Gullwing

is an authentic recreation built to exacting

standards using modern Mercedes Benz 300

engine and running gear. Finished in silver with a

beautifully trimmed full red leather interior with

the correct white tilt steering wheel. It further

benefits from having fitted luggage and a discreet

stereo system. It is believed that it is the only

known example in the United Kingdom. The car

has a full Mercedes service history which confirms

the odometer reading of 4,700 kilometres. With

real Gullwings now commanding over half a

million pounds so this recreation which is virtually

indistinguishable from the real thing now offers

the enthusiast the opportunity to purchase a car

with the presence and sensational looks of the

original without any of the inherent problems

associated with an iconic car from the 1950s. V5C,

41 A 1949 AC Buckland Sports Tourer,

registration number MRO 353, chassis number

EL1632, engine number UMB1632W, white. The

AC Motor Car Company may well be best known

for iconic models such as the Cobra and Ace, but

they also make saloon and touring cars of great

quality, using their six cylinder 2 litre engine,

which went through various performance

improvements until 1963. The rare Buckland

Sports Tourer was manufactured between 1948

and 1952. The chassis incorporated the six

cylinder triple SU carburettored engine and the

aluminum and ash framed body was constructed

by Buckland Bodyworks, New Royston,

Hertfordshire, and according to AC records, there

were only 84 manufactured. MRO 353 has a

fascinating history. It was the car used in the

factory advertising, and appeared on the front

cover of the Buckland brochure. It was also the

subject of a road test article in September 1952

Autosport magazine, where the journalist

described the car as 'A 2 litre six cylinder open

car of all round merit and decided individuality'.

The car was purchased by the current owner in

1971, after a superficial restoration had been

abandoned. Fortunately, most of the original

fittings had been retained, so a more sympathetic

restoration was carried out, and the car took to the

road once again in 1972. Due to the owner being

posted to Lossiemouth (Scotland) in 1973, MRO

353 was garaged and remained on blocks for the

next 38 years. The intention was to restore and re-

commission the car as a retirement project, but

owing to family pressures and lack of an equipped

workshop, the decision has been made to

reluctantly sell the car. During the rudimentary

restoration in 1971, the engine was overhauled,

using new Thames Ditton supplied wet liners.

Unfortunately, traces of water were found in the

oil, so another rebuild commenced and was

periodically revisited during the long lay-up, but

never completed. The owner's intention was to get

an AC specialist to restore the engine with new

parts, which will be supplied with the car. To aid

the restoration, the owner has amassed a large

quantity of very rare and scarce parts, including an

engine sump, crank case, cylinder head and rocker

cover, valves, valve seats, a cylinder head and

rocker cover gasket seats, two starter motors, three

carburettors, fuel pumps, water pumps, a gearbox,

a set of front and rear wings, red leather seats and

numerous other useful items. MRO 353 now

offers the next owner an exciting opportunity to

restore an historically important AC motor car,

and when finished, it would be eligible for

numerous sporting events, as well as being a

welcome sight at any classic car show. V5, no

42 A 1997 Bentley Brooklands, registration

number P834 PLO, chassis number

SCBZE20C3VCH59963, engine number

88364L410M/TTV. The Bentley Brooklands was

introduced in 1992 as the replacement for the

previous Mulsanne and Eight models. It was

powered by a normally aspirated 6.75 litre V8

engine, driven through a four speed automatic

gearbox. This metallic royal blue car has all the

luxury one could ever wish for, with a sumptuous

interior having grey leather seats with dark blue

piping, a grey leather headlining and dark blue

wool carpets edged in grey leather. The luxury

fittings don't stop there for the lucky passengers,

as there are also electric windows, seats, air

conditioning, cruise control, CD stereo and other

refinements at their finger tips. Accompanying the

car, which has travelled a believed 79,000 miles

from new, are all the service books, owner's

handbooks, some service receipts and a good run

of old MOTs. These Bentleys now offer excellent

value, having all the power and luxury of a true

gentleman's express, for Ford Mondeo money, and

this car would certainly enhance any driveway.

43 A 1933 Rolls Royce 20/25 Hooper Four Light

Sports Saloon, registration number AXF 11,

chassis number GBA-29, engine number A-6-X.

The trend for ever heavier coachwork being

employed on the 20 hp chassis of the late 1920's

was having a detrimental effect on performance.

Rolls Royce's solution to the problem was to

increase the engine capacity from just over 3 litres

to 3699 cc, which raised the power output by 25

hp and the new 20/25 model was created. The

20/25 chassis was produced for seven years, and

over that time Rolls Royce made many

improvements, including rises in the engine

compression ratio in 1930 and 1932. Also in

1932, synchromesh was introduced in third and

fourth gears, and a one-shot centralised lubrication

system, thermostatically controlled radiator grill

shutters and an electric fuel gauge also appeared.

The coachwork, as usual, was executed by a

coachbuilder of choice and in this case, the firm of

Hooper was chosen. GBA-29 has been in the same

family ownership since 1954, and has a fascinating

and comprehensive history, which can be traced

back to 1946. The history includes a detailed log,

kept since October of that year, outlining all

expenditure and maintenance carried out, with the

mileage recorded at the same time. The file

mentions overseas motoring holidays, where

GBA-29 was part of the entourage. These include

the 1969 20 Ghost Club tour of America, with a

detailed itinerary of the 1900 mile tour, the 1975

20 Ghost Club tour of Norway, describing the

1643 miles covered, and its time in Monte Carlo,

where it took part in the Concourse de Elegance

(number 17). In addition to the log, the vast

history file has numerous bills, correspondence,

photographs (including the original owner, Mr

Henry S Frost, and a charming photograph of the

car in Casino Square) and a run of service and

restoration records from McKenzie Guppy starting

in 1982 to the present day, detailing all

expenditure totalling nearly £50,000 (including an

engine rebuild for £18,000). As one would expect

from a car which has had such loving and caring

ownership, GBA-29 is in excellent condition. The

coachwork is finished in black over green, there is

a large sunroof fitted to enjoy the summer

sunshine, and the green leather interior is mostly

original apart from the green carpets and front seat

bolsters. The engine ran very smoothly when

viewed, an electric fuel pump has been fitted to aid

reliability (original auto vac retained) and tool kits

are all present and correct. Rolls Royce with such

long term ownership seldom come onto the market

these days, and when they do they offer not only a

fabulous car, but a slice of social history. RF60,

45 A 1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa, registration

engine number 6300643. The iconic 911 has been

in production since 1963 when it was unveiled to

the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The

original design has seen a myriad of cosmetic and

mechanical changes since then, but the original

outline shape still remains true to this day,

showing testament to a great design. This

example has been with the current owner for a

number of years and has recently benefited from

some refurbishment. The body work has been re-

sprayed in the original graphite grey, a colour that

suits the car well. The black leather interior has

received localised repair to the driver's seat, and

the seals on the Targa roof and doors have all been

replaced. There is a good history file which

accompanies the car, detailing continuous repair

and maintenance, and old MOTs. This 911, with

its current MOT and tax, is ready for immediate

use and with its Targa roof the next owner can

enjoy the rest of the summer sunshine. V5C,

46 A 1963 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster,

registration number 77 ECH, chassis number

850655, engine number RA1085-9. This early 3.8

litre Roadster is the 655th car off the production

line and is finished in British racing green with a

tan leather interior. It was previously registered as

8055 BH and 491 JGK. The current owner bought

77 ECH in 1981 when a bare metal restoration was

commenced (with photographic evidence), and

finished a few years later. The car was driven for

only approximately 50 miles and placed into dry

storage with its last MOT expiring in 1997. The

Jaguar now requires some recommissioning after

its long lay up, including a brake overhaul and the

usual safety checks before taking to the road once

again. RF60, V5, no current MOT or tax See back

left hand drive Recreation Vehicle, registration

number DLZ 310, chassis number

1GBKP37W6C3326456, aluminium. Airstream

RVs are very rare sights on British roads and offer

home from home comforts. This 31 ft long gin

palace on wheels has all the mod cons one could

ask for. The very original interior has a separate

bedroom compartment with twin beds that can be

converted into a Queen size double. There is a

separate shower room, wash room with toilet and

glamorous Hollywood style vanity mirror. The

kitchen area is equipped with a gas oven, hob and

fridge/freezer and the electrical equipment

includes ice maker, Kenwood Chef, cappuccino

maker, toaster and food processor. The main

seating area has a large sofa which converts to a

double bed, a swivel armchair and pull-out dining

table, which is stored under the sofa. The whole

interior has central heating and dual air

conditioning. This home from home is powered

by a 5.9 litre turbo charged diesel engine, which is

driven through an automatic gearbox. All of the

electrical equipment can be either run by the 6.5 k

generator or can be hooked up to mains electric.

The RV can be driven on a normal full driving

licence, and would make a great motor sport

LCC34, engine number LC33C. The Rolls Royce

Silver Cloud saw the introduction of the all new

V8 engine, which would see service in all

subsequent Rolls Royce and Bentley models, right

up to the modern Arnage. This rare long wheel

base version of the standard SII afforded the rear

seat passengers extra leg room, which appealed to

both the family owner driver and the chauffeur

driven owner. LCC34 is finished in a discreet

shade of Midnight blue, with a dove grey leather

interior. The car has been well maintained by its

previous owners and there is a good history file,

with receipts from respected specialists including

Specialist Cars (South West) Ltd. This lovingly

BO340220280DHUO. The Minx range was

produced by Rootes between 1932 and 1970, with

the Super Minx series being launched in 1961.

This well maintained estate is fitted with every

extra that Rootes offered in 1966 and has its

original 1725 cc engine. This Super Minx is

finished in green with a green vinyl interior, with

reclining front seats, fold flat rear section, new

carpets and original dashboard including the clock

and an after market Hillman logo cigarette lighter.

In its current ownership the car has been fully

serviced every year and fitted with new exhaust

system, radiator and ancillary items. The history

file contains a sales brochure and road test reports

from the Autocar magazine (June 1966), MOT

certificated back to 1984 and various receipts for

works and parts. The Hillman Super Minx estate

is now a rare sight on today's roads and this well

presented example offers its new purchaser to

proudly participate in classic tours and shows.

10398422001903. The Mercedes Benz models

from the early 1990's offer excellent value. With

their inherent build quality and style, they offer a

great motoring experience without breaking the

bank. This metallic gold 300 SL is no exception

having all the luxury goodies one could ask for,

including a full black leather interior, electric

adjustable seats, central locking, electric windows,

electric mohair hood, power assisted steering and

many other refinements. Also, for the winter

months, there is a factory hard top, which

transforms the car into a stylish coupe. The vendor

53 A 1979 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II,

registration number LGH 745T, chassis number

SRH36847, engine number 36847. The Rolls

Royce Silver Shadow and T1 Bentleys were first

seen by the general public in 1965. They used the

previous S3's V8 6230 cc engine, which would be

subsequently increased to 6750 cc for the Shadow

II and T2 models. This particular Silver Shadow II

has been used sparingly over the last 32 years, and

has covered less than 37,000 miles. The walnut

coachwork is offset by a cream Everflex roof,

which in turn complements the cream and brown

piped leather interior. A service history

accompanies the car, outlining maintenance and

service works by Rolls Royce specialists including

Jack Barclay, and there is also reference to past

owners, including the Qatar Embassy. Silver

Shadows which have such low mileage and

service history offer the ultimate in luxury and

54 A 1965 MG B Roadster, registration number

CYA 208C, chassis number G-HN3-52845, engine

number H3643. The MG B was launched in 1962

and was the first MG to utilise a monocoque

structure rather than a separate chassis and body

which had always been employed with all

previous MG models. This very original Roadster

is and early pull door handle model. Which has

had only four owners from new, and has always

resided in Somerset. The first owner was a Mr.

Lance Clark, a member of the Clark's shoe

dynasty, who took delivery of the car from Valley

Motors, Bathpool, Monkton near Taunton in 1962.

The second owner was a manager with the Clark's

shoe company, and third and fourth owners who

have owned the car for last 25 years were

neighbors in the village of Long Sutton. The

coachwork is finished in a most attractive and rare

iris blue. The interior is trimmed in black leather

with blue piping and has a nice patina. She also

benefits from having a four speed with overdrive

gear box, full tonneau cover, hood and a tow bar.

There is a good history file accompanying the car

with past MOT and service history back to 1988

and the original passport to service with three

service stamps. Original early MG Bs are

becoming increasingly rare to find and with such

an interesting history this car surely must be a

must for an MG enthusiast. V5C, MOT to June

55 A 1959 MG A Mk I 1600 Roadster, registration

number 6151 AR, chassis number GHN/80735,

black. The MG A was launched in 1955 with the

new aerodynamic styled body, which was a

complete departure from the previous vintage

styling of the T series cars. Initially available with

the 1489 cc engine which was subsequently

increased to 1588 cc in 1959 and at the same time

disc brakes, were employed on the front wheels.

As well as the standard models, MG produced a

special twin cam version which was in production

for only two years between 1958-60 and is now

extremely rare and collectable. This beautiful

original right hand drive Mk I 1600 Roadster was

restored by the previous owner in 1979 and there

is an album detailing the initial restoration and

subsequent fastidious maintenance for the next 25

years with photographs and full detailed notes.

The car was purchased by the current owner from

Beaulieu garage in 2006 and the same care and

attention has been lavished upon it, including a re-

trimmed maroon leather interior. The coach work

is finished in black with a recently fitted grey hood

by Marksdanes Ltd, the interior is as good as new

and there are red and black full tonneau covers

fitted for privacy and protection when the hood is

not in use. The sparkling black coachwork is offset

by re-chromed bumpers and new chrome wire

wheels and tyres (a separate set of painted wire

wheels accompanies the vehicle), also there is a

stainless steel luggage rack fitted to increase the

limited luggage space. As previously mentioned

the history file contains an album detailing the

restoration and maintenance up to 2004, service,

restoration receipts incurred by the current owner,

old MOTs, MG magazine articles and a Heritage

certificate. This charming MG A has been

maintained to a very high standard and would be a

worth while inclusion to any car collection, and is

only for sale so he can concentrate on finishing the

restoration of a TR6. V5C, MOT to April 2012,

light blue and the interior is trimmed in cream

leather. All the usual luxuries are present including

electric windows, seats, mirrors and sun roof, front

is the fasted part of the Le Mans circuit where

Bentley won five victories between 1924 and

1930. 92 EYY is finished in the most attractive

and dashboard top roll, and recently re lacquered

walnut door cappings and dashboard. She has all

the luxury and refinements one would expect of a

windows, mirrors, cruise control, air conditioning

and lamb's wool over rugs. There is an excellent

58 A 1969 Porsche 911T RSR recreation,

registration number OPV 192, chassis number

119100305, engine number 6210098. The 1973

RSR is the wide body full fat race version of the

iconic RS and holds a special place in Porsche

history as it was the first homologation of a

production car. This RSR recreation has been

based on a 1969 911T, which was first registered

in September of that year and its original colour

was red. A comprehensive restoration and

recreation has been carried out, with the body

stripped of paint and RSR wide metal wheel

arches, bumpers and whale tail incorporated into

the body. The body was then fully repainted in

white and new RSR decals were applied. The 2.4

litre engine was rebuilt with new pistons and rings,

decoked heads, lapped valves, lightweight racing

flywheel, triple racing clutch plate, twin triple 38

mm carburettors. The running gear incorporated

new Bilstein shock absorbers, uprated front brakes

with S type calipers and discs, 915 gearbox with

quick shift, and the repositioning of the oil cooler

to the front fender (a modification which ensures

much cooler engine running). The interior has

been stripped of all equipment and superfluous

weight and incorporates a fully FIA compliant

welded-in roll cage, Cobra bucket seats, four point

race harnesses, lightweight door cards with leather

door pulls, passenger fire extinguisher and

lightweight carpets. The history file contains

photographs and a CD of the restoration in

progress, receipts and general information. The

subject of many hours of restoration this RSR

recreation would make a brilliant track day or hill

climb car, but unlike a lot of recreations because

of its original 1969 build date it would make an

excellent starting point for an historic FIA group 4

racing car. With most of the performance, all of

the looks, and a fraction of the price of a real

Porsche RSR, the next owner is offered a lot of

bang for their buck. V5C, MOT and taxed to

59 A 1955 Ford Zephyr VI Mk I convertible,

103032, engine number 103032. The Ford Zephyr

was first shown to the general public at the 1950

Earl's Court Motor Show, with its four cylinder

visually similar stable mate, the Ford Consul.

Production of the Mk I Zephyr began in February

1951 and ran until April 1956, when the Mk II

became available. The Zephyr VI was available in

three body styles, four door saloon, the estate

version by Abbotts of Farnham, and the two door

convertible with electric hydraulic powered hood

manufactured by Carbodies of Coventry. All of

the Zephyr and the up market Zodiac models were

powered by the 2262 cc straight six engine,

producing over 60 bhp, which enabled the cars to

travel at speeds exceeding 80 miles per hour. RYU

170, a very rare convertible version, finished in

striking two tone coachwork of maroon over

cream with a contrasting maroon white piped

leather interior and maroon soft top (which rises

very smoothly at a the touch of a button) is also a

star of the big screen having been used in the film,

To Dance with a Stranger. The current owner

purchased the car in 2002 from Neil Tee, a well

known character in Ford Zephyr/Ford Zodiac

circles. Since owning the car he has re-built the

engine with hardened valves and fitted a break

servo and six branch exhaust manifold. RYU 170

also has a manual overdrive gearbox and a full

tonneau cover for privacy and protection when the

hood is lowered. There is a large history file

accompanying the vehicle with numerous receipts,

including the recent engine rebuild, general

maintenance and repair bills. This Ford

convertible from the golden age of rock and roll is

ready for the next owner to enjoy and would be

66 A 1952 Bristol 401, registration number XS

8401, chassis number 4011040, engine number

85C1947. Bristol cars have become known as the

connoisseur's car with their aircraft quality

construction and discreet but purposeful styling.

Bristol's first car, the 400, was introduced in 1946,

based on BMW's tooling liberated from Eisench

after WWII, and essentially combines the best

components of the pre WWII models, mating the

326 chassis and the rack developed engine of the

328, clothed in an aluminum body. The 401 was

introduced in 1948 and remained in production

until 1953 with 611 leaving the factory.

Mechanically it was similar to the previous 400

model apart from the SU carburettors which were

changed to Solex's. These increased the horse

power to 85 from a previous 80, and the chassis

was increased in length to accommodate the new

touring designed aerodynamic bodywork. This

particular 401 has only had two owners. The first

was Mr P H Newman of Burnley, who took

delivery on 21st March 1952, and the second Mr

Robert Moule, who purchased the car in 1994. Mr

Moule then undertook a full restoration of the car,

which has know nicely mellowed. Since the

restoration, Mr Moule used the car sparingly,

covering approximately 200 miles per year and

there are old MOTs to verify the mileage. XS

8401 is finished in a very attractive colour

combination of British Racing Green with a

beautiful cream leather interior, which is

complemented by a most appealing Art Deco

inspired dashboard. Bristols of this quality and

low ownership are becoming increasingly hard to

find. When compared to their contemporaries such

as Aston Martin and Alvis, which now command

much higher prices, they perhaps offer the true

enthusiast an opportunity to own a hand built car

at a relatively affordable price. V5C, MOT to be

67 A 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster,

registration number WCG 275N, chassis number

1S1976, engine number 7S12634SA. Jaguar

captured the world's imagination when Sir William

Lyons unveiled the new E-Type at the 1961

Geneva Motor Show. Such was the demand for

test drives and photo shots, Sir William had to call

for a second car to be driven overnight from

Coventry. The E-Type's beauty hasn't diminished

over the last 50 years, and is still as popular today

as ever. Initially available with a 3.8 litre XK

engine, which was subsequently enlarged to 4.2

litres and the final cars employed the mighty 5.3

litre V12. WCG 275N, a very original and

desirable manual car, has believed to have covered

52,000 miles from new. In the current ownership

since 1984, the car has benefited from being

maintained by the same Jaguar specialist.

Finished in bright red with a black leather interior

and sitting on sparkling chrome wire wheels

(replaced in 2006 with new tyres). Also she has

full weather gear comprising double duck hood

with cover and a full factory fitted tonneau cover.

Over the years WCG 275N has been maintained to

a high standard receiving a new clutch, universal

joints and a gearbox overhaul in 1997, all new

hoses in 2010 and the aforementioned wheels and

tyres in 2006. WCG 275N was also featured in

the Andrew Morland book E-Type Jaguar. It is

expected that the car will be fully serviced and

68 A 1956 Bentley S Type, registration number

SYE 313, chassis number 8249CM, engine

number BC374. The Bentley S Type

(retrospectively known as the S1) was introduced

in 1955, and replaced the previous R Type. A

visually larger car than the R Type, it was powered

by an enlarged 4887 cc overhead valve version of

the R Type's six cylinder engine, which propelled

the car on to a top speed of 120 mph and achieved

a 0-60 time of 13 seconds. This extremely elegant

Bentley is finished in the traditional colour of

Shell Grey over Tudor, which is complemented by

the sumptuous red leather and walnut interior.

SYE 313 has always been enthusiast maintained,

and the large history file, which includes 27 old

MOTs and an owner's handbook, substantiates the

time and care lavished on her. This car epitomises

the style, grace and luxury of the 1950's

gentleman's conveyance, and should offer the next

custodian many years of enjoyable motoring. V5C,

69 A 1961 Jaguar Mk II 3.8 litre sports saloon,

registration number RSU 733, chassis number

P203235B/W, engine number LB1299/8. The new

generation of compact Jaguar saloons came to the

market in 1956 with the Mk I powered by the ever

popular straight six engines in 2.4 and 3.4 litre

capacities. They employed unitary construction

rather than separate chassis's and bodies as used in

previous Jaguar models. The Mk II arrived in

1959 and continued in production until 1967

available in 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 litre capacities, by

which time more than 80,000 examples of Mk I

and Mk II had been sold. The Mk II 3.8 automatic

example offered for auction has been the subject

of a comprehensive bare metal restoration.

Finished in a very attractive colour combination of

silver coachwork with a beige leather interior and

walnut dashboard and door cappings. The

restoration which was completed between 2008

and 2010 was substantial. The body was stripped

to bare metal and numerous panels were replaced

including near and offside inner and outer sills,

front cross member, crows feet, rear valance, all

door bottoms and other panels, all of which were

supplied by Martin Robey, then a full respray was

then completed. The interior was retrimmed in

beige leather, new wool carpets, head lining and

the walnut was repolished. At the same time the

engine, gearbox and running gear were thoroughly

overhauled. All the chrome work was replated

and new chrome wire wheels were purchased.

The history file contains numerous receipts for the

fore mentioned restoration totalling approximately

£18,000, photographs of the restoration in progress

and some old MOTs and brochures. This

thoroughly sorted Mk II is resplendent after all the

time and money spent on it and should make a

new owner very proud. V5C, MOT to October

70 A 1960 Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur,

registration number 693 BYV, chassis number

BC63AR, engine number A63BC. The chassis,

BC63AR, was ordered by Sir Duncan Orr-Lewis,

who had Mulliner build a four door Flying Spur

body to go onto it, this was painted a very subtle

shade of grey. Records show that the second

owner was Maxwell Joseph of Clarges Street,

Mayfair, W1 and the servicing was carried out by

Jack Barclay between November 1961 and July

1962. Mr Joseph's was chairman of the Grand Met,

who owned and ran some of the best hotels in

Paris, and during his ownership the car was

subsequently used on the Continent as denoted by

the French identity plate fixed under the bonnet

and French worded switches in the car. Records

show that the car in the ownership of Harold

Garratt from 1974. He used the car on regular trips

to Yorkshire and Scotland, and regular visits to

rugby internationals at Twickenham, where the car

could always be found parked in the West car

park. Between 1992 and his death in 2004,

BC63AR was dry stored in the garage at the

family home. After his demise, the car was

recommissioned by RR & B (Bromsgrove,

Worcester) at a cost of £20,000 and since then a

further £25,000 has been lavished on

improvements and refurbishments. These coach

built cars are wonderfully built and epitomise the

style and grace of the earlier R-Type and S-Type

Continentals, with the added practical bonus of

four doors. V5C, MOT to be advised, tax exempt

71 A 1962 Austin Healey 3000 Mk II BJVII,

registration number TBA, chassis number H-BJ7-

L/20499, engine number 29F-RU-H/1151. Donald

Healey's association with Austin started with the

Healey 100 which debuted at the 1952 Earl's Court

Motor Show. It was powered by Austin's 90

Atlantics four cylinder engine and running gear.

BMC's Leonard Lord secured the production rights

to the car at the show and the Austin Healey

legend was born. There followed further revisions

to the design over the years, incorporating the

larger six cylinder engines which were

subsequently known as the 100/6 and 3000. The

3000 Mk II version was introduced in 1961,

initially with triple SU HS4 four carburettors and

an improved cam shaft in either a four seat

configuration, code named BT7, or a two seater

version, code named BN7. But due to difficulties

in balancing the triple carburettors these models

were discontinued and were subsequently replaced

with the twin carburettored car, code named BJ7,

in January 1962. The 3000 Mk II BJ7 we have the

pleasure in offering for auction was originally a

left hand drive car, which was exported to North

America. It subsequently returned to these shores

in 1994, where upon a full bare metal and

comprehensive restoration was carried out by the

current vendor. During the restoration the big

Healey was converted to right hand drive and a

Mk III dashboard was installed. Finished in black

with a beautiful tan brown piped leather interior,

which is complemented by the black full weather

gear, consisting of a hood, a full tonneau and a

hood cover. Further refinements include wool

carpets, chrome wire wheels, calibrated rev

counter and speedometer, four speed gearbox with

overdrive and battery cut out switch. Since the

restoration, which was completed in 1995, the

vendor has covered approximately 12,500 totally

reliable miles on Continental tours and regularity

time trials. There is a vast and comprehensive

photographic record of the restoration in a history

file, covering all aspects of the restoration and

subsequent maintenance. The vendor is retaining

his personal number plate and a new age-related

number plate should be issued by the time of the

auction. This big Healey is superbly presented

and has been maintained with no expense spared

since the restoration and offers the next owner an

opportunity to purchase a properly fettled car.
