WELCOME

With Classic Race Aarhus in our seventh edition we can look back upon some exciting years and look forward to even more to come: Since our inception in 2010 Classic Race Aarhus has evolved from being a fine Danish race meeting to becoming an international race festival of European consideration. We expect 35.000 spectators to confirm that in 2016.

The basis for this success is our unique blend of serious motor racing in a relaxed atmosphere and in quite unique settings: Our street circuit in itself is exciting to drivers as well as to spectators, but as it is furthermore laid out around the beautiful Memorial Park with the blue bay, green woods and white summer residence of the Queen of Denmark surrounding it that certainly adds to the atmosphere.

It should not really be possible outside of Monaco - but it is. I would like to extend a warm thank you towards our staff of 750 volunteers, our many partners in business as well as to the City of Aarhus for making it possible every year. A very special thank you to the volunteers that made our foreign drivers visiting nominate us The most Friendly Race meeting in Europe.

With regards to the Classic Race Aarhus Auction our partnership with Silverstone Auctions and Lauritz.com has made yet another milestone possible: With nearly one hundred fine enthusiast and classic cars under the hammer the Classic Race Aarhus Auction powered by Silverstone Auctions and Lauritz.com is already in its first edition a major auction in Northern Europe. We look forward to developing further upon that as well.

Last but not least, we must also enjoy the moment - which should be easy to do over a terrific weekend at Classic Race Aarhus. Enjoy the racing, enjoy Aarhus and happy bidding at the auction!

CARS DAY ONE


1988 FORD ESCORT XR3iLO

T 101 Registration: Not SpecifiedChassis Number: WFOBXXGCABHY86872

Engine Number: AT87462No Reserve

When Ford launched the Escort XR3, the benchmark VW Golf GTi had ruled the hot hatchback market for several years. However, Fords new offering was a package that combined the looks, performance, and handling demanded by customers in the early eighties. With the introduction of the fuel injected XR3i in 1983, performance was further improved and the XR range captivated a new younger audience who had moved on from the old rear-wheel drive Escorts beloved by their parents.

Offered here is a 1988 Escort XR3i finished in Fords motorsport colours of Diamond White with a Grey interior. Its also fitted with a period Ford body kit and has a recorded mileage of only 69,000 kms. Originally German registered, the car was imported into Denmark, unfortunately, prohibitive import taxes meant that this pretty Escort remained in storage for fifteen years. Fast Fords of the eighties are now rising in value so grab yourself a no reserve bargain.


1970 BENTLEY T1Registration: EU RegisteredChassis Number: SBH7850Engine Number: Not SpecifiedNo Reserve

The Bentley S3 and Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud were magnificent cars, but there is no doubt that by 1965 these, separate chassis, limousines were more fabulous fifties than swinging sixties. The launch of the relatively compact Silver Shadow and Bentley T-Type put this situation to rights, using an all new monocoque design with a much lower roofline, self-levelling independent suspension, dual-circuit servo disc brakes all round, and a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Luxury never goes out of style, however, and the cars interiors were as sumptuous as ever with acres of Walnut, Wilton and leather, and electric seats and windows as standard.

Although the cars are more or less identical, the Bentley T looks a touch more dynamic than the Shadow because the radiator is lower and smoother with a more streamlined shape. Otherwise, its only the badging on wheel covers, boot lid, and gauges that sets the cars apart although the Bentley is far more exclusive as only 1,703 saloons were made compared to over ten times that number of Shadows. Replaced in 1977 by the T2, the T-Type is now more commonly referred to as the T1. It was updated in 1974 with more flared wheel arches to contain the wider radial tyres that were now standard, a larger engine, three - rather than four-speed gearbox, revised suspension, and a more modern interior.

This 1971 Bentley T1 has obviously spent some time in dry storage and appears to be finished in a dark Metallic Silver Grey. The interior looks in reasonable shape and the Grey Leather is nicely patinated. The chrome doesnt look too bad and the car seems to stand nicely.

Sadly we have no further information about this car, although we are led to believe that some paperwork with the cars history may shortly be available. We would suggest that its in need of recommissioning and is sold as seen.

2009 HARLEY DAVIDSON ELECTRA GLIDE ULTRA UNLIMITED 1690

Registration: Not SpecifiedFrame Number: 5HD1KEMC7AB600303

Engine Number: Not SpecifiedNo Reserve

One of four fabulous Harley Davidsons in this sale, here we have a 2009 Electra Glide Ultra Unlimited 1690 which has covered 51,000 kms with two owners. Finished in Metallic Blue and Black the vendor describes every aspect of this bike as excellent and certainly as far as the appearance is concerned we tend to agree. The Ultra Unlimited, at the time, was the exclusive, top of the range touring machine built for travelling big miles in unparalleled luxury and comfort.

For the 2009 model year, Harley-Davidson redesigned the entire touring range with several changes, including a new frame, new swingarm, a completely revised engine mounting system, 17-inch (430 mm) front wheels for all but the FLHRC Road King Classic, and a 212 exhaust. The changes result in greater load carrying capacity, better handling, a smoother engine, longer range and less exhaust heat transmitted to the rider and passenger.

First delivered to France, our vendor is the bikes second owner and it has been part of his collection in Italy.

LOT 103


2004 HARLEY DAVIDSON ROAD KING

Registration: Not SpecifiedFrame Number: 5HD1FYW114Y721220Engine Number: Not SpecifiedNo Reserve

The Road King 1450 was one of a huge range of Custom-Touring bikes offered by Harley in 2004. This example was sold initially in France and later was purchased by our vendor to join his collection in Italy. The bike looks great in Black and has covered 35,000 kms. On his entry form, our vendor describes the bike as excellent in all respects and looking closely at the photographs that appears to be an accurate description, certainly in terms of the way it presents.

We are lucky enough to have four big Harleys in this sale, and there isnt one that we wouldnt like to take home.

1987 PORSCHE 928 S4Registration: Not Specified

Chassis Number: WP0222922HS841419Engine Number: N128/4181B00951

Estimate (): 32,000 - 40,000

Unveiled in 1978 to rapturous appreciation, the Porsche 928 created its own niche as a long-legged, front-engined sports car with the refinements, comfort, equipment, power and poise of a luxury saloon. During their long history Porsche have only ever offered seven models that were front engined and amongst these, the 928 carries the distinction of being the only coup.

This 928 S4 was delivered new in 1987 to the northern Italian city of Verona and is therefore partnered with Italian papers. The car is currently showing 76,411 kms on the odometer and looks very menacing in Double Black, deep black with a black leather interior. As a whole, this S4 has clearly been very well looked after by its previous owners and the interior in particular looks very clean and tidy.

There is good history accompanying this 928 in the form of a stamped service book, ASI Certificate from 2007, and all the original books and literature. Having resided in Italy for all of its life the car was then imported to Denmark in the autumn of last year and has since been freshly serviced with new cam belts, water pump, fluids and hoses fitted. This car represents a great opportunity to acquire a highly collectable and original, late eighties, classic Porsche.

1990 RANGE ROVER 3.9 V8Registration: G675OKYChassis Number: SALLHAMM4GA431872Engine Number: 38D11774A

Estimate (): 18,000 - 20,000

There may be newer-looking Range Rovers around these days but that isnt to say that the original first generation version, with its familiar boxy shape, doesnt still have its supporters. In fact, its positively flying on the used market. The original Spencer King designed Range Rover was one of the British Motor Industrys proudest success stories,and when it went out of production at the end of 1996, it still looked as fresh and forward-thinking as it did back in 1970 when one was chosen to be exhibited in the Louvre as an example of modern sculpture.

The car was renamed the Range Rover Classic when the Mk. II model was introduced in the autumn of 1994, but demand continued even then. This was a car that had real international appeal selling in markets as diverse as Japan and the USA, Canada and Australia with demand often exceeding supply. Well over 300,000 Range Rovers had rolled off the production line by the time this legendary model was laid to rest; the final one being proudly displayed as part of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust collection at Gaydon in Warwickshire.

This superb 1990 Range Rover 3.9 V8 was delivered new to Japan where it clearly enjoyed the agreeable climate. We are informed by the vendor that there is very little evidence of rust, the tailgate is in good condition, and other Range Rover issues such as a sagging headlining and parcel shelf are not present. Cars destined for the Far East market

were given the highest trim level and were simply called Range Rovers. This car would have been called the top of the line Vogue model, with its automatic gearbox, electric windows, sunroof, full leather and walnut dashboard and door cappings. The wheels are colour coded alloy, typical of the Vogue range. Showing circa 91,000 kilometres, our UK vendor has requested the Japanese version of the cars MoT history, called the Shaken, copies of which, should they arrive in time, will be with the car. The cars book packs including the service history will be translated in time for the sale and are available for inspection.

Imported into the UK on the 1st April 2014, the car is UK registered but any prospective buyers should satisfy themselves with the VAT requirements of their home country due to its VAT qualifying status. Very few Range Rovers survive in such unmolested condition without the usual issues present, and this lovely example would suit the gentleman farmer or the urban sophisticate who wants the luxury and status of the modern Range Rover at some 10% of the new list price.

LOT 106


1931 REO ROYALE SPORT VICTORIA COUP

Registration: X 23Chassis Number: 2448

Engine Number: 3673Estimate (): 80,000 - 90,000

Set up by American motor industry entrepreneur, Ransom E. Olds-who went on to form a number of companies in the automobile industry, the REO Motor Car Company was based in Michigan and produced cars and lorries from 1905 until 1975. In 1897, Olds had founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company, which later, as Oldsmobile, became part of General Motors, however Olds had left by 1905 and set up REO. which, within two years had gross sales of $4.5 million making it one of the four wealthiest motorcar manufacturers in the U.S.

The REO Royale was a bit of a trendsetter, with its pioneering use of streamlining, and introduced design elements that were frequently imitated on later models from other manufacturers. Beverly Kimes, the editor of the Standard Catalogue of American Cars, described the Royale as the most fabulous REO of all. In addition to its dramatic coachwork, penned by Amos Northup of Murray Design, the Royale also provided buyers with a 125 hp straight-eight with a nine bearing crankshaft, one shot lubrication, and thermostatically controlled radiator shutters. The 8-cylinder model was sold until 1933 with minor updates

One of the finest examples still in existence this car, an REO Royale Victoria Coup, has a fascinating Danish provenance. Imported to Denmark on the 14th April 1931 by its first owner, the German Consul Ludvig Wohlert, this distinctive car was to remain with him right through the war up until 1946. Under German occupation during the Second World War, Denmark was unique in retaining the King as Head of State, although King Christian was proudly defiant and often sought to upset Adolf Hitler in official correspondence. According to our vendor, the family Wohlert had close ties and a long-lasting friendship with the Danish Royal Family, and the car was used and driven by

King Christian the Tenth, who was famous for his love of American luxury cars and once owned a Cadillac, when the royal family stayed at Marselisborg Palace in Aarhus, the location for this very auction. The Royales second owner was Danish director Axel M. Jensen from Aarhus who looked after it until the mid-1960s.

Our vendor, a distinguished Danish collector, took over the custodianship in 1981 and set upon a period of restoration works over the next five years. This particular car is fitted with a substantial 5.9-litre engine producing 125 horsepower, an automatic chassis lubricator, hydraulic brakes, a three-speed manual transmission, Ross steering gear, and a chrome luggage rack. Its one of only four Royale Sport Victoria Coups believed left in Europe and is in good, running condition, having been regularly maintained, and our vendor states that Its a delight to drive.

2000 PORSCHE 911 (996) GT3 GEN 1LOT 108

Registration: Not SpecifiedChassis Number: WPU22299215690302Engine Number: Not SpecifiedEstimate (): 65,000 - 75,000

The Porsche 911 (996) GT3 is the spiritual successor to the original 73 Carrera RS, and was designed to be lightweight and performance focussed with scant regard to luxury and comfort items that would add to the cars weight but detract from its performance. Consequentially the sound deadening was mostly removed as were the rear seats, rear loudspeakers, sunroof, and air-conditioning although the latter became a no-cost option. The GT3 differed from its standard sibling in having an extra 60bhp (360), larger brakes, lowered and re-tuned suspension, lighter wheels, and some aerodynamic tweaks.

Its also the basis of the modern day Carrera Cup Car which Porsche race worldwide in their own one make series, and was produced in sufficient numbers to comply with the FIA homologation requirements necessary for the 911 to compete in the GT3 Class in International Sportscar Racing.

Excellent history

Recent 111 point inspection

Clubsport seats fitted

This Generation I, 996 GT3 was sold new in Denmark and comes with Danish papers. With 136,000kms indicated, this Porsche is in absolutely superb condition and has clearly been well looked after as suggested by its service records.

The car is presented with a full history, all invoices and fully stamped service book from its three former owners. As recently as March 2016, it passed the 111-point check at Porsche Centre Fyn in Odense.

Fitted with a Clubsport roll-cage, Clubsport seats, and new four-point harnesses the car is very purposeful and ready for anything. The original seats are also available and can be acquired through separate negotiation.

It was originally fully taxed and registered on Danish number plates but this is no longer the case and Danish buyers must note that new tax will apply.

As with most of the rarer 996s, prices for GT3 models have certainly been on the march in recent years and this superb example offers real value for money.


1972 TRIUMPH TR6Registration: DM 75 420

Chassis Number: CC78472LEngine Number: Not SpecifiedEstimate (): 21,000 - 25,000

The Triumph TR6 was the best-selling Triumph in history when production ended in 1976, with more than 94,000 built, ninety per cent of them to US specification. The TR6 was quite refined, for a sports car, and featured pile carpets on the floors and boot, plush-looking bucket seats, a lovely wooden dashboard and a full complement of instrumentation. For the US market, the engine was carburetted, as had been the US-only TR250 engine.

The TR6 was fitted with a four-speed manual gearbox with an overdrive unit (optional) which operated on second, third, and fourth gears on early models and third and fourth on later cars. This effectively created a close-ratio six-speed gearbox and provided long legs for open motorways. The TR6 also featured semi-trailing arm independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15-inch wheels and tyres, and disc brakes at the front with drums at the rear.

This classic, 2.5 litre, six-cylinder sports car is regarded by some as the last true Triumph, and this superb 1972 example shines brightly in the Danish sunlight. Owned by our vendor, a discerning collector, for some eight years, he had always wanted a TR6 and found this restored, 96,000 km, example in 2008. Standing on unusual, but nonetheless attractive chrome wire wheels, this US spec car has been converted back to chrome bumpers. From the photographs, it appears to be running on triple Webers so it may well have been fitted with other performance enhancing modifications, The black leather perfectly compliments the maple-veneered dashboard and the package is gift wrapped in gleaming Pimento Red coachwork. Regularly maintained and only used on sunny Danish days, this carburetted motor car could be described as the epitome of English open-top motoring. Ready to be enjoyed on the roads of continental Europe.

LOT 109


1967 VOLKWAGEN KARMANN-GHIALOT 110

Registration: Not SpecifiedChassis Number: 148303403Engine Number: Not SpecifiedEstimate (): 25,000 - 30,000

The Type 14 (Karmann Ghia) debuted at the October 1953 Paris Auto Show as a styling concept created for Ghia by Luigi Segre. In the early 1950s, Volkswagen was just producing the Type 1 (Beetle), but with an increase in post-war living standards, executives at Volkswagen proposed adding a halo car to its model range, contracting with German coachbuilder Karmann for its manufacture. Karmann, in turn, contracted the Italian firm Ghia who adapted styling themes previously explored for Chrysler and Studebaker to a Beetle floor pan widened by 300mm. The Type 14 was marketed as a practical and stylish 2+2 rather than as a true sports car. As they shared engines, the Type 14s engine displacement grew concurrently with the Type 1 (Beetle), ultimately arriving at a displacement of 1584cc, producing 60 hp.

Presented here is a 1967 Karmann-Ghia coupe that takes its design brilliance and builds on it. The Karmann-Ghia has always had a strong following with customisers and this example has to be seen to be believed - or even better driven. It is a one-off project overseen by the owner of well-renowned Danish customiser Mawelo Custom Car. The car was built for him to own and enjoy, and no element of its enhancement has been compromised. As a result, the final build cost would have been prohibitive for most normal buyers.

The general impression is firstly of a very, very clean Karmann-Ghia. The body and paintwork are truly stunning and no Karmann ever left the factory looking quite like this. Mawelo left very little as original and a seemingly minor detail like the bumpers are now small pieces of metalwork art in themselves, being blended in, instead of bolted on, and the craftsmanship is impeccable.

The quality and attention to detail permeates throughout the car. The cockpit appears full of upgrades but these have been executed very discretely and are included more for functionality rather than purely for looks. Heated seats? Yes, even that is now a Karmann-Ghia feature.

This Ghia draws heavily on Porsche parts and now features fully adjustable suspension, Fuchs alloy-wheels and Porsche brakes. This process has not just been done for aesthetics but with real engineering integrity, and the car performs and handles very well on road and track.

The same amount of thought has gone into the engine. The 2.4-litre, flat-four has been built by Oratech and puts out 170 BHP. Amazingly it does so with total tractability, relying on good engineering and product selection to make the most of the familiar technology set-up, including the ubiquitous large Weber carburettors, and the resulting power is fed through a brand new pro-street gearbox which can easily withstand the torque.

Its difficult to describe this car adequately. Its not a restoration, although it has definitely been well restored. Its not a Custom Car although every detail has effectively been customised. We think its best described as One mans dream.

The car is Danish registered and ready to enjoy.


2001 RENAULT CLIO V6 3.0 PHASE 1 (LHD)LO

T 111 Registration: Y418 WFC

Chassis Number: VF1C61A0624483816Engine Number: F090538

Estimate(): 22,000 - 28,000

The Clio V6 was in many ways the spiritual successor to the mid-engined 5 Turbo - a true motorsport homologation special of the 1980s. Taking inspiration from the 5 Turbo, Renault created an equally wide-hipped, mid-engined, baby supercar in the Clio V6.

Launched in 2001, the Clio V6 Phase 1 was broadly based on the Renault Clio Mk ll, but the V6 variant actually shares very little with its standard counterpart. Most of the engineering work was undertaken by motorsport specialists TWR, who also built these cars at its Swedish Uddevalla factory, producing just 1,513 examples between 2001 and 2003.

Utilising a tweaked version of the proven and unstressed 3.0-litre V6 24V unit from the Laguna saloon in place of the rear seats, the Clio V6 Phase 1 had access to 227 bhp (230 PS) and this was enough to propel it from 0-60 mph in just 6.2 seconds, with a top speed of 146 mph. Certainly not a car for the faint-hearted, this rear-wheel drive car was built in genuinely limited numbers and driven by true enthusiasts of the day.

This left-hand drive car presented here in striking Iceberg Silver (number 403 of 1,513), was built in June 2001 and supplied new to Italy, where in that lovely warm climate it was driven only sparingly, covering just 72,115 kilometres (44,810 miles). Most early Clio V6s have now been modified, but this example remains true to its original specification. In more recent years, the car was in Japan, where rare and charismatic sports car are coveted and much collected. Our UK vendor, having set his sights on owning a Clio V6, and looking long and hard until he found the right one, had the car fully inspected before purchasing it. Upon its arrival in the UK in 2015, it was taken to a renowned V6 specialist (SG Motorsport Services Ltd.) for

a major service and some light re-commissioning. The invoice, present in the cars history file, details this work included the fitting of a new cam-belt and clutch, and totals 3,331.27 (4,200 Euros). The specialist was very impressed with the condition and performance of the car, stating it was one of the best hed ever seen. Hence, he was able to supply an accompanying letter stating the car is all-original and in very good condition, with nearly zero corrosion on the underside. He was also able to source the original build-sheet from Renault. The car also retains its original spare key, tool kit, tyre inflater and book-pack.

Importantly, the Clio V6 Phase 1 represents the essence of the modern, mid-engined hot-hatch from Renault and classic car history often suggests that its the early cars that end up being the most sought-after. In addition to this, the Phase 1 was a real limited edition model, with the cachet of being engineered and built by a famous motor-sport specialist. These factors, all combine with this examples originality and low mileage, and sound like a recipe for future classic status.


The wonderfully dramatic BMW 8 Series Coup was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989 and positively bristled with innovations, as befitted the flagship model from the makers of the ultimate driving machine.

While the motoring press focussed on the numerous road car firsts such as the first electronic fly-by-wire throttle, the first CAN bus system to cut down the complexity and weight of the electrical system and the first BMW multi-link rear axle, what really impressed most people was just the sheer presence of the thing.

Luxuriously trimmed inside and packed with all the gadgets that its jet-set client base could wish for, the 8 Series turned every journey into an occasion and made the driver feel special every time they slipped behind the wheel. Initially, it was powered by a magnificent all-alloy, 5-litre V12 that produced 295bhp and a mighty 330lb/ft of torque. Allied to a 5-speed automatic gearbox that could be operated manually if really rapid progress was desired, this was sufficient to generate a 0-60mph time of just 6.8 seconds on its way to a top speed electronically limited to 155mph. An equally brilliant 4-litre V8 engine was also later offered, as was a 4.4-litre which addressed the lack of torque of the smaller engined car.

The 1991 850i offered here is quite remarkable. With one owner and an indicated mileage of 1,759 km this is a very rare manual gearbox car. First serviced on 19/05/1995 at 1,445 km, and its next visit to BMW was on 2/06/2015 at 1,759km when the bill was 4,000 Euros. This car has been kept in ideal conditions and obviously treated as an object of desire rather than a mode of transport. Obviously, the service records are impeccable and naturally the car comes with all its original equipment, untouched for the most part.

Costing well over 60,000 new, the 850i was always an exclusive machine and just over 20,000 were sold worldwide before production ceased in 1994. Rare, fast, and beautifully styled, this is a sure-fire classic of the future. There were only around 1,000 manual 850s ever built and there cant be many, if any, in this exquisite condition with less than 1,800 kms covered. We feel this may be a worldwide Best of Breed.

Estimate (): 125,000 - 135,000

Ferrari unveiled the new Testarossa (F110) at the 1984 Paris Motor Show, marking the end of production of the legendary Boxer that had been the flagship 12-cylinder Ferrari model for the previous ten years. Styled by Pininfarina, the Testarossa (Red Head) paid homage to the great 1950s sports racers that originally bore that name, referring to their bright red rocker box covers. The mid-engine, rear wheel drive configuration allowed the centre of gravity to be positioned in the middle of the car resulting in the weight distribution being 40/ 60 front and rear, almost an ideal balance in terms of road holding and steering response. The Testarossa was larger than its Boxer predecessor, some 6 inches wider and 2.5 inches longer at 2,550mm, allowing for more leg room and combined with the raised roof height in the cabin made progress a little more comfortable.

Production of the 512TR commenced in 1991 with deliveries to customers in 1992 and was effectively a re-engineered Testarossa, although Ferrari were keen that it was regarded as a new model. As well as the slightly less dramatic, but more subtle styling and a few tweaks to the detailing the main changes were chassis and engine related. The power of the 4.9 Litre, 48 valve, flat 12 was increased to 428 bhp from 380 with a similar improvement in torque, and with the benefit of a 30kg weight reduction on the earlier model, 0-60 times fell from 5.3 to 4.9 seconds and top speed lifted to 195 MPH.

Supplied new to Japan on 11th June 1992, and handled by Cornes and Co. upon entry into that country, this rare left-hand drive, 512TR was built in the traditional colour combination of Rosso Red with Black leather upholstery. Our vendor recently imported this 512 TR to the UK direct from Japan and set about bringing the car up to his fastidiously high standards. He first, UK registered the vehicle, and then sent the car to Mototecnique who set about getting this wonderful Ferrari completely up to speed with new parts fitted such as a fuel pump, battery, pump seals and lots of basic maintenance, and the invoices for all this work are in the cars history file. Further love and attention was lavished on professional detailing with the interior attended to, and the fog lights polished and cleaned. All stone chips have been removed and the small scuffs on the alloys blended away, resulting in the car presenting nicely on it toes for this auction having enjoyed nearly 10k of recent expenditure.

The mileage covered today is 55,000kms with service history present and 11 service stamps in the official Ferrari service book. Cornes and Co. Ltd serviced the car while in Japan along with the Wako Automobile service centre. Our vendor has translated paperwork in the history file containing details of work carried out by both companies while the car was being used and enjoyed in Japan. All other official handbooks are present, as is the original tool kit and spare keys. This car also comes with a UK MoT until 9th February 2017 and represents an exciting opportunity to enjoy a summer with this rare and focused Ferrari.

Registration: Not SpecifiedChassis Number: WPOZZZ962M5471177Engine Number: Not Specified

Estimate (): 115,000 - 125,000

964 is Porsches internal designation for the version of their 911 manufactured and sold between 1989 and 1994. Designed by Benjamin Dimson in 1986, it featured significant styling revisions over previous 911 models; most prominently in the way that the bumpers, spoilers and wheel arches blended cohesively into the bodywork. It was the first iteration of the 911 to be offered with Porsches Tiptronic automatic transmission and all wheel drive as options. Porsche chose to re-use the 3.3-litre, turbocharged engine from the 930 with several minor revisions that made the engine smoother, less prone to turbo lag, and more powerful with a total output of 320bhp at 5,750rpm. The sleek silhouette of the 964 was indicative of Porsches new design philosophy and is regarded in hindsight, as one of the prettiest 911s ever built and certainly, in period, was one of the most powerful.

This left-hand drive 964 is a lovely example of the iconic and dramatic looking Turbo and was delivered new to Italy in 1991. Whilst in Italy, this particular turbo was equipped with optional extras including a limited slip differential, sports seats, sports suspension, 17 turbo alloy wheels and a sunroof. This vehicle was regularly maintained by Porsche specialists in Italy for the majority of its life, with the last stamp in the service book in 2004 at Piave Motori when the car showed 41,800 kms. The car returned to Germany in 2010 where Porsche specialist Mancino GmBH carried out a service at 50,000 kms, and it has been used sporadically since that work was carried out. All this information is present in the cars original service booklet in the history file.

Finished in Metallic Midnight Blue with White wheels and a full black leather interior this car has covered a mere 55,000 kms since 1991 and presents very nicely. We are happy to offer this super example of the ever popular and collectable 964 Turbo which, with careful maintenance and attention, will deliver many more miles of powerful Porsche motoring!


1987 FORD SIERRA COSWORTH RS500LO

T 115 Registration: EU RegisteredChassis Number: WF0EXXGBBEGG38938

Engine Number: Not SpecifiedEstimate (): 75,000 - 85,000

Just 500 extra special examples of the 150mph Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth went on sale in Britain on August 1st 1987. This more powerful Evolution model was introduced to allow Ford to develop the original production run of 5,000 needed to allow the Sierra RS Cosworth to be homologated for International Touring Car Racing in the Group A class. Aston Martin at Tickford were assigned to convert the 500 cars. Work included upgrading engines to 224bhp (with the potential to exceed 400bhp with extra boost in race trim), numerous aerodynamic enhancements including a 30mm lip spoiler applied directly to the rear edge of the tailgate to increase rear downforce.

Build no. 260 has covered 47000 miles from new and comes with extensive documented service history with all books, manuals, sets of keys etc, No. 260 has also been extensively modified and has experienced significant expenditure during its life.The result of the modifications result in a fabulously quick, but docile and untemperamental road car.

Our vendor originally purchased this vehicle last year from its previous owner who had the car for 10 years and whom had cherished the car and spent significant finances on it, indeed fitting a lot of the Spec-R parts listed below. The car did not require any re-commissioning work under our vendors ownership as it had been regularly started and exercised, and in recent times had been looked after by ex Mountune man Paul Hills latterly of Engine Advantages. Our vendor recently took the vehicle to Mark Shead at M.A. Developments for a health check and setting up session. Whilst the car was giving a strong 380bhp, it could only run 25psi or so as the then fitted BD10 inlet and exhaust cams, when combined with the huge T4 turbo, were creating turbo surge. This would be enough for many people, but the engine clearly had so much more to give in his opinion. The car was then taken to Mark at M.A. Developments with a free hand to do whatever he thought was necessary to realize the engines potential. A few thousand pounds

later, with Vi-Pec management, properly matched inlet and exhaust cams, and the most sophisticated of electronic monitoring and boost control equipment, the vehicle is giving a very real, 442 bhp and 398 lb/ft, all set up by Mark Shead, and fully dyno proven. The vehicle has covered less than 1000 miles since this work was carried out.

It is well known many Cosworths have had blips in their history. No. 260 left Tickford in August 1987 as a Black RS500. Records show that the car had a colour change to White in 1993. Thanks to the extensive history file, our vendor was able to trace back and talk to the owner of the car when this change took place. Anyhow, it transpires that in 1993 the vehicle suffered a rear end fuel tank fire. The rear end of the car was badly damaged but due to the enthusiastic insurance premiums that these cars attracted in the early 90s the then owner, with whom our vendor has spoken to directly, only had third party insurance. Resultantly, the car was sold on to a private buyer, who paid to have the vehicle re-shelled into a brand new white Ford shell. This took place in April 1993 at 33000 miles. Therefore, this is not one of the 52 factory produced White RS500s. It must be stated that the vehicle was not subject to an insurance claim and is not recorded.

17 years on, the car has only travelled a further 14000 miles. The shell utilised is reported to be a Ford production shell and our vendor reports that this is evident from the extensive yellow waxoyling in the cavities, everywhere you look on all panels. If you are looking to own an immaculate, tight, high performance cherished RS500 thats has just won an award for the best Cosworth at Essen 2016 then this car ticks all of the boxes.

Estimate (): 55,000 - 60,000

The second generation SL began with the 230 of 1963. Designed by Paul Bracq, its wonderfully crisp styling clothed a monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, power assisted disc/drum brakes, recirculating ball steering and a 2306cc straight-six engine of 150bhp and 145 lb-ft of torque mated to either a four-speed manual or an automatic transmission. Of the 48,912 W113 Series cars made between 1963 and 1971, 19,831 were 230SLs

Offered here, is a recently restored Mercedes Benz 230SL four-speed manual finished in Mercedes Red with a black interior. Originally supplied to the American market, it was imported into the UK in 2015. The history file contains records of some recent restoration work including photographs of the floor pans and the boot floor being replaced by Hawkwell Fabrications of Essex in November 2015. In January 2016, the car was repainted by Essex Auto Finishers in Mercedes-Benz Red (534) as was the matching factory hard top. A new hood was fitted at the same time and all the brightwork was replaced or renovated as required. The interior is excellent and it is still fitted with its period Becker push-button radio. The engine bay is tidy and everything looks as it should. The result is a very appealing example of the classic pagoda, one of the most stylish sports cars of the sixties, and with its shiny new paint, sparkling chrome and whitewall tyres, this car looks fabulous.

Engine Number: 122033632Estimate (): 18,000 - 24,000

The need for a peoples car as required by Adolf Hitler, was formulated by Joseph Ganz, whos brief was to create a cheap, simple car that could be mass-produced and that would be suitable for the countrys expanding road network. He contracted Ferdinand Porsche in 1934 to design and build it, after telling him in 1933 This is the car for my roads when discussing the extremely similar Tatra V570. Porsche and his team took until 1938 to finalise the design, and said of the Tatra influence sometimes I looked over his shoulder and sometimes he looked over mine. In 1965, a payment of one million Marks was made to Tatra-Ringhoffer for numerous patent infringements by the Beetle design. The result was one of the first rear-engined cars since the Edwardian Era and, with 21,529,464 produced, the Beetle is the longest running and most manufactured car on a single platform ever made.

This particular Beetle is painted in its original shade of blue with a complementing tan interior. A wonderful surviving example of the early oval window variant, it has been well preserved and we are told the body is still reasonably original, however it was treated to a coat of paint back in the late eighties, and other than that it has only had general maintenance to keep it on the road and looking as good as it does today. It was originally registered in Sweden and has been living there up until recently. Being an early car it has some quirky features such as the desirable heart shaped rear lights, batwing steering wheel, and the lovely B pillar trafficators. With 25 bhp available it will never set the world on fire however it will put a smile on your face when you get to the end of your journey.

Registration: Not SpecifiedChassis Number: 9111102414Engine Number: 6117885Estimate (): 74,000 - 87,000

Introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show, the basic Porsche 911 design would run virtually unchanged for twenty-nine years. Ferdinand Porsche had been working on the design since the late fifties as a better performing replacement for the 356, and today his design still underpins the production of Porsche AG of Stuttgart. Before long, the merits of using the Porsche 911 in competitive motorsport became apparent and history records it as one of the most successful campaigners of all time. From the 24 Hours of Le Mans to grass-root motorsport, the 911 offered reliable performance in many guises.

For 1970 the C-Series 911 was introduced with a larger bore to give a capacity of 2165cc, producing 125bhp and now badged as a T. Alterations to suspension points improved the handling and gave the steering a better on-centre feel.

Offered for sale is this beautiful, non-sunroof, 911T in the very rare colour ( 8383 paint code) known as Factory Green Metallic. The car was treated to a windows out respray within the last year and all the relevant rubbers and seals were replaced at the same time as were the door cards and dash top. The current vendor has owned this 911T for 10 years now, and the previous owner for 10 years prior to this. The engine was rebuilt some 15 years ago and most certainly still feels strong and pulls well today. The car has recently benefitted from a full service and has been carefully gone through to ensure it performs at its best. The period Fuchs alloys with the correct tyres finish this car off perfectly and this classic, early seventies, 911 in this gorgeous shade of green just needs viewing to appreciate its full potential.

LOT 1191994 JAGUAR XJS CONVERTIBLE

CELEBRATION

Registration: Not SpecifiedChassis Number: SAJNX2749SL196626Engine Number: Not SpecifiedEstimate (): 20,000 - 24,000

The Jaguar XJS was launched on 10 September 1975 as the replacement for the much-loved E-Type. The development of the car had begun in the late 1960s as project XJ27, with an initial design by Malcolm Sayer, but after his death in 1970, it was completed by the in-house Jaguar design team, headed by Doug Thorpe. Power came from the Jaguar V12 initially with a choice of a manual or automatic transmission, but the manual was soon dropped as they were left over from V12 E-Type production and they ran out of stock. The level of equipment in the XJ-S compared well with similar specification Italian cars and they were reasonably quick with 0-60 in 7.6 seconds (automatic) and a top speed of 143 mph.

April 1994 saw the introduction of the 4.0-litre AJ6 engine which soon became the 4.0-litre AJ16 with coil-on-plug ignition. In 1995, the final specification changed again (for what turned out to be the last time) and these final cars were marketed as the Celebration model to celebrate the 60th year of the Jaguar company. Celebration cars feature diamond turned wheels, Jaguar embossed seats and a wooden steering wheel.

This particular Celebration model is presented in a stunning triple-black combination and oozes style with grace. Sought after at the time, they have turned out to be one of the most collectable of all the XJS iterations.

This XJS has been dry stored over in the States and has recently been shipped to Belgium to be part of a private collection, however with over 100 cars in this current batch of purchases, the vendor has decided to let this one go as he rationalises his collection. The sumptuous seats show little signs of wear indicating that the XJSs four previous owners

have taken care of it over the years and with 66,000 miles showing it appears not to have travelled too far.

Having been re-commissioned in recent times, this end of the line, stylish big Jaguar is once again ready to be enjoyed.


1973 LANCIA FULVIA SERIES 2LO



The Fulvia (Tipo 818) was a new, light, sporting car introduced by Lancia at the Geneva Motor Show in 1963.and produced until 1976. Named after Via Fulvia, a Roman road leading from Tortona to Torino, the Fulvia was available in three variants: Berlina 4-door saloon, 2-door Coup, and Sport, with a distinctive fastback coup designed and built by Zagato, available as an alternative.

As well as being a delightful and rewarding road car in the best Italian tradition, Fulvias are notable for their role in motorsport history, including winning the International Rally Championship in 1972. On testing it in 1967, the American magazine Road & Track summed up the Fulvia as a precision motorcar, an engineering tour de force.

Offered at this sale is this freshly painted 1973 Series II Fulvia Coup. The second series Fulvia Sport was launched at the 1970 Turin Motor Show. Changes included a 5-speed gearbox, revised suspension geometry, taller ride height, an alternator in place of the previous dynamo, a taller final drive compared to earlier cars, and wider tyres.[8] The body was now all-steel and seated 2+2 passengers. Several other changes set the second series apart from the first: new driving lights, side mirror moved from the wing to the door, larger bullet-shaped tail lights from the Peugeot 204, and stamped steel wheels without hubcaps.[8]

Coming from a private collection, this super little car has been fully re-commissioned and underwent a mechanical rebuild during 2014, with, in addition, new brakes, tyres and an exhaust, so in essence, this car is ready to go. The vendor has informed us that, with just a little attention to the front seats, the car would be on the button.


The C/K range was Chevrolet and GMCs full-size pickup truck line for the home market from 1960 until 1998, from 1965 to 1999 in Canada, from 1964 to 2001 in Brazil, and from 1975 to 1982 in Chile. The first Chevrolet pickup truck was produced in 1924, though in-house designs did not appear until 1930. The letter C indicated two-wheel drive and K, four-wheel drive.

The bright yellow truck here is a second generation example with a more modern look, and these were available from 1967, along with a new nickname: Action Line. It was with this revision of the C/K range, that General Motors began to add comfort and convenience items to a vehicle line-up that had previously been purely utilitarian. The second generation models were built with better quality steel, helping keep rust at bay, and a pickup box made of double-walled steel. The majority of 10 and 20 series Chevrolet trucks from 1967 to 1972 were built with a coil spring trailing arm rear suspension, which greatly improved the ride compared to traditional leaf springs.

This 1970 variant, which is part of a private collection, has only had two owners from new, the first from 1970 until 2014, then from 2014 until recently and appears to have covered just 60,500 miles in total. Its clear to see that it has not had a hard life and the 350 cubic inch V8 engine still pulls well. The truck was recently treated to a re-trim, over in Virginia where it lived, along with a fresh coat of paint. Since arriving on European shores this big Sunshine Yellow American truck vehicle has been serviced and is now ready to enjoy life on the range.

1964 MERCEDES-BENZ 300SE COUPELO



The Mercedes-Benz W112, marketed as the Mercedes-Benz 300SE, was built from 1962 to 1967. It was available as a coup, convertible, and saloon. The cars were similar to the standard Mercedes-Benz W111 Fintail versions, but fitted with the fuel-injected M189 big-block six-cylinder engine, standard luxury features such as air suspension, power steering, automatic transmission, and a higher level of wood and leather trim. The 300SEs performance was the top of the Mercedes range, with the M189 six-cylinder engine producing 160 hp (170 after 1964) and giving a top speed of 180 km/h (190 after 1964, both figures 175 and 185 for automatic transmission respectively). The W112 turned out to be a very short-lived venture with the advent of the W100 limousine, however, the Coup variant did continue on until production ceased in 1967.

Finished in a beautiful shade of white with a sumptuous tan leather interior, this 300SE has a wonderful presence on the road. It is important to note that although this 300SE Coupe has been imported from Florida, it was originally supplied as a German market car which apparently makes it more sought after than an export vehicle. The car was the subject of an older restoration during the early nineties including the bodywork, interior, and many mechanical aspects, and still presents well today with a little comforting patina in the interior . This classic sixties coup has only had four previous owners and comes with a very comprehensive history file, The car is on a Florida title but has Dutch cleared paperwork, making it easy for the new owner to register it.

Like its contemporaries, the Mini, Citron 2CV, Renault 4, and the Fiat 500, the Beetle has long outlasted predictions of its lifespan. It has been regarded as something of a cult car since its 1960s association with the hippie movement and surf culture, and the obvious attributes of its unique and quirky design along with its low price.

Beetle fans are quite diverse when it comes to the way their favourite car should appear, with its presentation falling into a number of categories including the Resto-look, Cal-Look, German-look, Buggies, Baja Bugs, Old School, Disneys Herbie the Love Bug replicas and the dramatic Rat look. Part of the Type 1s cult status is attributed to it being one of a few cars with an accessible, air-cooled horizontally opposed engine, and the consequent ease of repair and modification, as opposed to more complex water-cooled engines. The original flat four had fewer than 200 moving parts making it very easy to maintain.

Our Baby Blue convertible has a Cream soft top and a very smart black interior. Its the 1600cc 1303 Super Beetle model and runs the later fuel injection which gives the whole car a much more modern feel. The car has been Dutch registered, however, it came originally from the dry state of California which probably explains the excellent condition of the bodywork. It has now been converted to a full European spec, and recently serviced.

With 3 registered owners, a mileage of 58,000 and a APK (Dutch MoT) until October 17, this stunning little VW Convertible has plenty to offer its new owner.

Some cars just get better looking with age and the R107 Series Mercedes-Benz SL is definitely among them.

Overshadowed for a long time by its graceful Pagoda predecessor, its now becoming better appreciated for what it is - a beautifully built sports roadster that is totally dependable. To this day, no car door closes with a more reassuring thunk than a Mercedes SL, and everything about the car suggests solid engineering.

Fast, comfortable and discreetly understated, the SL has a matchless ability to munch up the miles for year after year without ever seeming to falter. No wonder it stayed in production, fundamentally unaltered, from 1971 until 1989 - the longest production run of any Mercedes car to date.

The more powerful 500 SL with 5.0-litre engine, produced from 1980-1989, was not available in the US through Mercedes-Benz and was popular as a grey market import before the arrival of the 560 SL (only made for the US, Japanese and Australian market) in 1986-1989.

This particular 560SL is offered in a wonderful colour combination of Metallic Grey over Burgundy leather which is very striking indeed. It arrived here from Texas and has been preserved well by the dry climate and has clearly been well looked after over the years. The car has only had two owners and travelled a mere 62,000 miles in its sheltered lifetime. Its supplied with a factory hard top in a matching livery. This stylish eighties Mercedes is again part of a private collection in Belgium and therefore has had very little recent use..

2010 MERCEDES 300SLR RECREATIONLO

T 125


The iconic Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR is perhaps one of the most evocative shapes for a two-seater sports car of all time. Taking the World Sports Car Championship by storm when introduced in 1955, just 9 were ever produced, and only 6 survive today, all of which are priceless.

The aluminium space frame chassis and the ultra light magnesium-alloy bodywork kept the car very light - 880Kgs to be exact and Mercedes-Benz engineering was probably at its best during this period, with a smooth and powerful engine and rugged suspension and brakes. Sir Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson immortalised the car when they won the Mile Miglia in 55, the Britains gaining instant celebrity status when they took the victory at an average speed of 157.6 km/h, over the 1600 km course.

This particular car is a very special and rare recreation of the original, hand built over a period of two years and finished in 2010, by Jim Marland, who was the original founder of Proteus Sports & Racing Cars. The team he selected and the components he utilised were of the very highest quality throughout.

The body, for example, is all aluminium and hand crafted by Clive Smart of Shapecraft, one of the most noted of all UK body builders. The paintwork was carried out by well known Midlands specialist, XK Engineering Ltd., and the Mercedes-Benz 280E engine and 4-speed manual gearbox were rebuilt to the highest standard by Crewe Engines.

The differential is a Salisbury type with a limited slip function and all the rest of the parts and running gear, are Mercedes-Benz genuine

parts that have been carefully selected to be visually close to the originals wherever possible. The interior and dashboard are hand-made, and the instruments and dials hand-painted, with the intention of faithfully maintaining the cars original look. Every aspect of this car exudes quality and outstanding attention to detail.

Offered now by the original owner, this is an extremely rare and special opportunity to acquire an outstanding and accurate recreation of the original 300 SLR, at a fraction of what it would cost to recreate today. This car would not look out of place in any of the finest of Car Collections anywhere in the world.

The car is left-hand drive and UK registered with all VAT and duties paid. It carries the appropriate registration number, 300 LFX, however the unique registration number 722 SLR is available by separate negotiation.

Introduced at the first Frankfurt Motor Show in 1951, the 501 was the first motor car to be manufactured and sold by BMW after the Second World War. The 501 made an impression on the public with its solid engineering and its extravagance. Its list price of more than 15,000 DM was about four times the average salary in Germany at the time. The public nicknamed the 501 Barockengel (Baroque Angel) in reference to the curved, flowing style of the body.

The 501 was built an all-new platform, with a perimeter frame, double A-arm front suspension with torsion bar springs, and a live axle with torsion bar springs at the rear. The steering mechanism was similar to a rack and pinion system except that the rack was semi-circular instead of straight. The car was powered by the M337 engine, a development of the BMW M78 used in the pre-war BMW 326. The four-speed gearbox was not bolted to the engine but was a separate shaft-driven unit mounted between the second and third cross-members. The body was designed in-house by Peter Schimanowski, however after seeing the prototype, BMWs management commissioned Pininfarina to build an alternative. The resulting Pininfarina prototype was thought to be too similar to his design for the Alfa Romeo 1900 saloon, so BMW stayed with Schimanowskis design.

This wonderfully restored example came to our vendors Danish collection from Sweden. Cosmetically and mechanically restored, the engine was overhauled with new pistons and bearings, and the transmission also received attention during this time. Such was the quality of the restoration the car won Best in Show at a Danish classic and vintage car show in 2000. Although not to be relied on in a car of this vintage, we are told the odometer stands at circa 6,800 kilometers

and we believe its gone round the clock, a testament to the early post-war engineering standards of BMW.


2003 FERRARI 456MLO

T 128 Registration: RY03 FEUChassis Number: ZFFWP44B000130508

Engine Number: 72342

Estimate (): 64,000 - 74,000

When it was current, the Ferrari 456 was the fastest production four-seater in the world. Powered by what was essentially a detuned version of the engine powering the 550 and 575, the new 5.5-litre V12 unleashed no less than 442 bhp and, except for the F40, the 456 was the most powerful road car developed by Ferrari up to that point.

Pininfarina worked its magic on the 456 to create a subtly beautiful and curvaceous body contrasting with the hard edges of its predecessor. Aerodynamically efficient, the 456 remained stable up to its maximum speed of around 190 mph. Acclaimed on its debut, the 456s styling has not dated and is a tribute to Pininfarinas vision in creating one of the most beautiful vehicle designs of modern times. The Modificata 456 M appeared in 1998, starting with chassis number 109589 and incorporated a number of changes including improvements to the aerodynamics and cooling, and the interior, still featuring Connolly Leather, was freshened up with new seats and other detailing.

A considerable number of Ferrari drivers enjoy changing gear manually, which is fortunate as this desirable 456GT features just such a transmission. Completed in sparkling Grigio Titanio in October 2002 and first registered on 18th August 2003, the odometer reading was 8,800 kilometres when the Ferrari was purchased by the previous owner from British & Sportscars of Overijse, Belgium in 2008. The indicated mileage is now 11,900 (kms) and the car is presented in original condition commensurate with the mileage. Accompanying this lovely Ferrari are its Ferrari Certificate of Conformity; Bill of

Sale (2008); sundry maintenance invoices; original Belgian Technical Control (2013) and curent UK Registration V5C. The 456 is a very quick and competent GT and considerably more practical than its two-seat brethren. The two rear seats, although large enough for adults, are even better suited as the perfect spot for a couple of cases of 96 Barolo, on the way home from your Wine Merchants!


1987 BMW E30 M3LOT 129

Registration: Not SpecifiedChassis Number: WBSAK050301891797Engine Number: Not SpecifiedEstimate (): 38,000 - 48,000

The M3, when launched in 1986, was the first purpose-built BMW saloon specifically designed to race. It was a homologation special taken to the ultimate extreme with wheelbase and track optimised for racing, a high revving powerful 2.3 litre, four cylinder, 16 valve engine, a close ratio 5-speed gearbox with a direct drive top gear, purposeful square arches and fully optimised suspension and brakes. Only available in left-hand drive and priced at a hefty 26,000 in the day - it was unsurprising that only a very limited number of cars came to the UK. However, they completely dominated on the circuits with Touring Car titles claimed Internationally, including the most prestigious UK and German Touring Car crowns.

This E30 was delivered new in Germany in 1987 and is therefore subsequently still in possession of the original German registration papers. Two owners enjoyed the car while on German roads and for the past 14 years this vehicle has lived happily in Denmark. More recently the Danish company, Youlux, have set about restoring this iconic car back to its former glory. There are photos on file detailing the work including the full respray and they report that the vehicle is mechanically sound and drives as it should. The interior does feature Cecotto seats from the Jonny Cecotto M3 and the car as a whole, looks really great.

This usable and collectable car is now showing just over 200,000 km on the odometer, and who can blame the previous owners for driving this M3 as it was always intended! Few cars can match the driving dynamics of an M3, they look fabulous, and E30 M3s seem to engender real pride of ownership. Join the club.

The Ferrari 348 series marked a radical departure in the way Maranello constructed its cars, replacing as they did a chassis of traditional steel tubes with a much stiffer monocoque structure with a tubular rear subframe. Suspension remained independent front and rear with wishbones, springs, telescopic shocks, anti-roll bars, and revised geometry. The ventilated disc brakes were much larger than those of its predecessor, the Ferrari 328, and used anti-lock technology. A midship-mounted V8 returned, but it was larger and more powerful displacing 3405cc, mounted longitudinally and mated to a transverse gearbox. The displacement accounted for the new cars Ferrari 348 designation. The suffix TB came from the transverse gearbox and closed Berlinetta body style. A higher compression ratio and updated fuel injection helped generate 300 horsepower, 30-40 more than the Ferrari 328, whilst a dry-sump oiling system gave the new Ferrari a lower centre of gravity.

The 348 was the last design under the supervision of legendary chief stylist Leonardo Fioravanti, and a lot of the styling cues came from the Testarossa, particularly the side strakes, however, its forms were softer than those of the 328 but still curvaceous and with a longer wheelbase and wider track the interior had a bit more space.

This beautiful left-hand drive 348TB was supplied new to Idropi S.P.A of Verona, Italy on 1st February 1990 and is one of 60 pre production cars that were release to Ferrari dealers. The differences being that the

battery is located in the rear of the car not the front, the prancing horse is painted black as opposed to silver and the underside of the bonnet is finished in red, production cars were black. Finished in Rosso with a tan interior, the car was infrequently used, reflected in its incredibly low mileage. During its life, the previous owner was a member of the prestigious Automotoclub Storico Italiano, a well-respected car club in Italy. In September 2014, when the mileage was recorded at 2,490km, the car was sent to Toni Auto of Maranello for a service.

Our vendor purchased the car in 2015 and immediately sent the car to the aforementioned specialist for a full recommission of the engine. At this time, the engine was removed in its entirety, dismantled, machined and cleaned before being reassembled and put back in the car. Photographs of this work and the 8,000 invoice are contained within the history file. Ferrari Classiche is in progress and has been prepared by Toni Auto of Maranello at a cost of 2,580 Euro as shown by the invoice in the history file. The certificate will follow from Ferrari in due course.

This superb 348TB is supplied with a complete set of official Ferrari luggage, tools & jack and a full leather book pack containing all the relevant literature. Presented in exceptional condition, this car is a rare opportunity to own a 2,500km from new 348TB - a model that is now getting the attention that it richly deserves. This car ticks all the boxes and wouldnt look out of place in any car collection.


1978 FERRARI 308 GTS (CARBURETTOR)LO

T 131 Registration: EU RegisteredChassis Number: 25377


The Pininfarina-styled 308 GTB was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1975, as a parallel model to the Bertone-shaped Dino 308 GT4 and a replacement for the sensuous Dino 246. It was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti and the early cars were made of lightweight fibreglass and powered by a 255bhp(in Europe) V8 running on carburettors. The Targa topped 308 GTS arrived in 1977 and was perhaps best known for its regular appearances on the television series Magnum, P.I.

Desirable Carburettor model

Perfect car to use an enjoy

Would benefit from cosmetic improvements

The 308 here is a 1978 carburettor car that has been imported from California. The Rosso Corsa paintwork has been faded by the California sun (all red cars fade) and, as a result, would benefit from some attention, however it would be ideal to use and enjoy without worry whilst planning a bit of a refurb.

Showing 83,000kms, we are advised that the interior is in good, original condition and that the engine runs well. This pretty, 1978 308 GTS looks to be in very good condition overall.

This 308 is an ideal Ferrari to enjoy this summer and offers great value relative to 328s and 348s. A removable roof panel allows that wind in the hair feeling and direct steering and balanced mid-engine handling, combined with that frenetic V8 noisily sucking air and fuel through a quartet of Weber carburettors over your shoulder, makes this 308 GTS a thrill at any speed.


1934 HILLMAN AERO MINXLOT 132

Registration: Not SpecifiedChassis Number: AM205Engine Number: AM197Estimate (): 25,000 - 30,000

Based in Ryton-On-Dunsmore, the Hillman Motor Company was founded in 1907 by William Hillman and although the company started out building bicycles, by 1932 their first car had rolled off the production line, cheekily named the Minx. It featured a modest 1185cc engine and was available in a choice of body styles before production ceased at the end of the Second World War. Manufactured between 1933 -1935, the Aero-Minx was a bit more sporty and with a number of chassis and mechanical modifications allied with stylish and appealing bodywork was designed to cater for a rather more selective market. The differences from the 33 Minx consisted of a lowered chassis underslung at the rear, a shorter wheelbase, a slightly raised compression ratio, downdraught carburettor, stronger valve springs and a higher back axle ratio. An aluminium head was available and all Aero models had a remote controlled gearbox with a short stubby lever.

However, it was its looks that seemed to capture popular imagination, with its beautiful roofline and sloping back patently influenced by the Art Deco movement, or perhaps more cynically by the competition. During 1934/5, there was a host of small British sporting saloons influenced by Deco and the need to produce an Aero model. MG had their PA Midget Airline Coup, AC their Aero Saloon, the Singer 9 Le Mans Airline Coup wasnt far behind as was the Talbot 105 Airline Saloon and the, less attractive, Riley Kestrel Airline. These days we blame the fact that all small modern cars look similar, on Wind Tunnels and CAD. In 1934, it was probably Tracing Paper!

This beautiful two-tone Coffee and Cream example from 1934, spent most of its life in the U.K and was once owned by a Mr.G. Evans who acquired the car in 1981. Its thought to be one of the few unmodified

examples left in existence. During his ownership, the car was extensively and carefully restored so as to retain many of its original features. The Chocolate Cheesecake exterior looks superb and is nicely detailed, whilst the interior is really special in beige leather with sunburst door cards, De Havilland aircraft style seats, a polished wood dashboard, and a Bluemels steering wheel. The engine bay looks tidy and we understand the car drives as well as it looks. A solid history file and a Buff Log Book accompany the car.

Subsequently sold to a Danish collector, this car is now offered for sale and is the ideal opportunity to purchase an important example of a Deco influenced Aero car.


1994 DODGE VIPER RT10LO

T 133 Registration: EU RegisteredChassis Number: 1C3CRCSE7RV101078


Launched in 1991, the Dodge Viper was reminiscent of the Cobra of the early 60s. Indeed, Cobra inventor Carroll Shelby drove a prototype as the pace car for the 1991 Indy 500. The first production model, the RT/10 Roadster, became available in 1992. With a GRP body over a tubular steel frame, the real centrepiece of the car was its mighty engine and the Lamborghini Company, then owned by Chrysler Corporation, converted the Chrysler LA V8 into the V10 for the Viper by recasting the block and heads in an aluminium alloy. A major contributor to the Viper since the beginning was Dick Winkles, the chief power engineer, who had spent time in Italy.

The engine in these early RT/10 cars (1992-1995), known by owners as 1st Generation Phase 1 models, produces 400 bhp at 4600 rpm and 465 lbft at 3600 rpm, and thanks to the long-gearing made possible by the engines torque characteristics, provides a fuel

economy of 12 mpg. In 1994, the originally spartan RT/10 became available with several options including air-conditioning, adjustable suspension, larger diameter wheels to accommodate larger brakes, and a fibreglass hardtop for the roof.

The car offered here is a 1994 RT/10 Roadster and has covered just 55,000 kms. The car looks fantastic in its Get out my way Red paintwork with contrasting grey leather interior. It has always been well-maintained and is said to perform very well with all the grunt and rumble youd expect of such a muscle car. Not one for the faint-hearted, this is a burly and physical car which demands respect from its driver but rewards in equally large measures.


LOT 134 1919 HAMLET

EARLY DANISH MOTORCYCLE

Registration: Not SpecifiedChassis Number: Not SpecifiedEngine Number: Not SpecifiedEstimate (): 17,000 - 20,000

The first Hamlet motorcycles were produced in Denmark in 1904 using a strengthened bicycle frame as a base and a Fafnir, Moto Reve or a Motosacoche motor was fitted. Only a few of these machines were ever built and after a takeover, the factory began producing mopeds and small three-wheeled goods vehicles. In 1939, a light motorcycle was unveiled and this was a proper motorcycle fitted with a Fichtel & Sachs 98cc. motor and a two-speed gearbox. Production of this model stopped in 1943 due to difficulties in finding a replacement for the German Fichtel & Sachs motor during wartime.

We have no other information on this pioneering form of transport other than the fact that its 97 years old, its accompanied by some very old paperwork which we cant read, it appears in excellent overall condition and its vendor claims it is the only one in the world.

If you have a Motorcycle Museum and you havent got one of these (which you wont have), now is your opportunity.
