We are delighted to welcome you to our sixth sale at
the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show for two
days of classic car auctions that we’re sure will dazzle
and delight. With over 70,000 classic car fans flocking
to the NEC, this show is one of the highlights of the
year and one of our biggest sales.
We have 129 cars on offer and there is something for
everyone. From modern classics to pre-war veterans,
we have a huge range of very special cars, including
many from celebrity ownership. We have a Ferrari from
Olympic cyclist Sir Chris Hoy, Jimmy Tarbuck’s Volvo,
Del Boy Trotter’s Reliant Regal three-wheeler, and one
of the most famous cars of all, Eric Morecambe’s
Jensen Interceptor.
The celebrity theme continues with our special charity
auction, with motoring TV stars Ant Anstead and Mike
Brewer auctioning off their Classic Rumble build-off
cars after a year-long race to build and restore Mike’s
Ford XR3i and Ant’s ‘50s Alfa Romeo replica race car.
Which car will fetch the biggest price for charity?
The NEC Classic Motor Show will be the grand finale
to what has been another strong year for the classic
car market. Wider economic uncertainty has failed
to dent the market for quality cars from across all
marques and eras, and the demand for modern
classics has rocketed with records being set on a
regular basis. Best-of-breed cars, with exceptional
provenance and in top condition, will always
perform strongly – and that’s what we specialise in
at Silverstone Auctions. There’s never been a better
opportunity to invest in quality!
As always, our experienced team of classic car
specialists will be available to provide expert advice
to help you find the car of your dreams, so don’t
hesitate to ask!
We are always on the lookout for quality classic and
performance cars, and with our first sale of the New
Year coming up at Race Retro in February, please do
get in touch if you have a car to sell.
Thank you for joining us at the NEC Classic Motor
Show Sale, and we look forward to seeing you in the
New Year for Race Retro in February.
Happy Bidding!

Lancaster Insurance challenged Mike Brewer and Ant Anstead to go
head-to-head in a charity Classic Rumble! Team Mike and Team Ant
have been working tirelessly on their cars, which will see both going
up for auction on Saturday 11th November.
Mike’s chosen beneficiary is the Marie Crawford Boyd Foundation,
whose aim is to raise awareness and funding for research into
Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis, a complicated disease that is
characterised by the inflammation of the small blood vessels. All
the money raised from the sale of this exquisite 1989 Ford Escort
Cabriolet XR3i in Radiant Red will go to the foundation.
Mike chose to restore this XR3i, which was donated by Jim Crawford
(the foundation founder and brother of Marie Boyd), as “Fast
Fords are big news at the moment, the XR3i is now a sought-after
collectible classic and to get the chance to do this one is exciting.
My car will win because it’s a usable everyday classic that will turn
heads! There’s no need to be precious with an XR3i, just run it and
drive it.”
The car has spent the majority of this year at Cross Street Garage
in Swindon, where Blokie has been leading the restoration. The car
has gone through a full nut-and-bolt process with every part being
fully restored, refurbished or brand new and there have been some
distinctive touches added, so the car is always associated with Mike
Brewer, his team, and the charity. These include wonderful wheel
centre caps that are embossed with #TeamMike, the #TEAMMIKE
speedo on the dashboard and #TeamMike is also referenced on the
intake on the engine. Mike has also signed the underneath of the
car by the fuel tank, to add another special touch. The black sills
and mirror bases will be finished in time for the sale. Additionally,
in place of the Ford badges on the centre of the bonnet and right-
hand side of the boot lid, will be bespoke Marie Crawford Boyd
Foundation 2017 badges. In addition to the sale of the car, the
lucky purchaser will also receive a bespoke painting of the car by
‘Art by Bex’, a TeamMike car cleaning kit donated by The Detailing
Company and a warranty on the workmanship on the windscreen by
Auto Windscreens.
The restoration has been a real group effort, with many companies
and people donating their time and products to ensure this XR3i
is ready for the auction. Mike comments: “It’s always a delight
getting the chance to bring a classic car back to life and to do it for
charity makes this build even more special. I’ve had an amazing
team behind me and the offers of help we’ve received from fellow
enthusiasts and companies have been outstanding. If it wasn’t for
companies and individuals donating their time and products then it
would not have been possible – so a huge thank you from the bottom
of my heart”.

Lancaster Insurance challenged Mike Brewer and Ant Anstead to go
head-to-head in a charity Classic Rumble! Team Mike and Team Ant
have been working tirelessly on their cars, which will see both going
up for auction on Saturday 11th November.
Ant’s chosen charity is Harrison’s Fund, which was set up by Alex
Smith, a family friend of Ant’s. Alex’s son, Harrison, suffers from
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and the charity was set up to help
fund research and awareness of the disease. All the money raised
from the sale of this outstanding 1950s-inspired Grand Prix racer will
go to the foundation.
Ant chose to build this sensational racer, commenting “Cars are my
passion, it’s what makes me tick. And while their primary function is
a mode of transport I wanted to see past that and build a complete
one-off, a toy. Something that was built with love and passion that still
pulls the heartstrings. An original GP period single-seater would cost
millions, so I built one inspired by an age of motor racing that is sure
to capture one person’s heart. I hope that person bids big for this
unique car!”
The single-seater racer has spent the majority of this year at Dowsetts
Classic Cars, Ant’s garage in Hertfordshire. It is powered by an MX-5
engine that has been completely overhauled and upgraded and has
a bespoke balanced prop shaft, and the gearbox has had a full strip
down and rebuild. There have also been unique #TEAMANT touches
added to the racer, to remind people of the project and the charity,
including wonderful #TEAMANT engraved brass spinners and a
bespoke vintage steering wheel. The lucky purchaser of this car will
also receive a bespoke painting of the car by ‘Art by Bex’ and an
exciting driving entry for the Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb School for 2018
(on selected dates).
The restoration has been a real group effort, with many companies
and people donating their time and products to ensure this racer is
ready for the auction. Ant added: “Choosing an existing classic to
restore would have been an easier option, but for me this challenge
was about stretching the boundaries, raising the profile and cash for
Harrison’s Fund and most of all, beating Mike Brewer! What better
way to do this than to build a car from a blank piece of paper? And
now that vision is real, and I can see, feel and touch the finished car,
I know I made the right choice!”.
Prospective buyers please note, this car is not road legal and is not
supplied with a UK V5C, but could be used as a hill climb, sprint or
track-day car for the enthusiastic driver!

To add a little variety to their show in 2015, Mike Brewer decided
he and Ed should create a rally car. Finding an unfinished project
developed from a very solid 1978 MkII shell with a tw-litre Pinto
engine, the Wheeler Dealers team set about transforming the car
into a Ford Escort RS2000 ‘Evocation’ that could compete in rally
events. As can be seen from the TV show, aired in September 2015,
Mike and Ed have worked their usual magic on the car, making all
essential changes for the car to be eligible to compete in rallying
events, including a full roll cage, fire extinguisher system, larger
capacity fuel tank with braided fuel lines, body strengthening, and
a twin electric fuel pump. Much of the work carried out on cars for
the TV programme ends up on the cutting room floor, so with a list
of jobs undertaken off-screen too long to list here, the end result is a
really well-developed and smartly presented rally car.
Since being purchased from the Wheeler Dealers team, the RS2000
replica has made a few appearances at shows but has yet to be
unleashed in anger on a proper rally stage.
Offered for sale with a fresh MOT test, an MSA log book and
MOT test certificates from its time as a road car, don’t miss this
opportunity to acquire the Java Green RS2000 ‘Evocation’ and share
its celebrity.
NB: This car was first registered in the UK in 2010 in left-hand drive,
and was recorded as an insurance theft on the ‘Condition Alert’
register in 2012.

The Ford Escort RS Turbo was based on the three-door Ford Escort
Saloon and was supplied in a Diamond White body colour only.
The engine fitted to the RS Turbo was a 1600 CVH unit modified
to suit the higher loads imposed by the addition of a turbocharger.
Computerised fuel injection and engine management incorporating
turbocharger boost control were also fitted, resulting in a healthy
132bhp and a top speed of 122mph. The gearbox and transmission
were also ‘beefed-up’ and the RS saw the debut of a unique viscous
controlled limited slip differential that reduced widely varying speed
differences between the drive shafts, greatly improved cornering, and
reduced torque-steer.
Aesthetically, the RS Turbo was given a distinctive sporty appearance
with a body-coloured front grille, bumpers, and aerodynamic aids. On
the tailgate, an XR3i spoiler (also body-coloured) was fitted together
with ‘RS Turbo’ decals. The interior was trimmed in a combination
of Monza and Cashmere fabrics and XR3i type Recaro LS bucket
seats were fitted as standard. Production was limited to only 5,000
examples and many were modified in period for racing.
This right-hand drive, matching numbers RS Turbo S1 has recently
been restored to a very high standard. The car was taken back to
bare metal, professionally prepared, and finished in a sparkling new
coat of Diamond White. The engine was fully rebuilt (which included
a Gates timing belt) and there are full details of the impressive build
in the accompanying history file. Showing 56,000 miles, the RS is
also accompanied by numerous old MOT test certificates, the original
service book, handbooks, and a folder of invoices for the restoration
and recent attention.
Retrospectively known as the ‘Series 1’, these early cars were very
focused and considerably ‘edgier’ than the succeeding Series 2 and
consequently have a ready market. Offered without reserve, this Ford
represents a rare opportunity for any RS fan, collector or enthusiast.

The Audi ‘Quattro’ presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March
1980 represented a quantum leap in the repositioning of the Audi
brand with their mission statement ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ having
been applied literally. A new 20-valve engine was introduced in 1989
and with it, the Quattro became the last series production model to
be given a controlled catalytic converter. After 11,452 Quattro cars
had been built, production of the longest built Audi model ceased
on 17 May 1991.
This 20-valve Audi Quattro RR Turbo was supplied new to the UK
by Audi and Volkswagen main agent Gilders of Sheffield on 25th
April 1990. The first owner was a Mr M. Chappell and amongst the
factory options he selected were heated seats, central locking, ABS,
larger alternator, electric windows, ‘Quattro’ design interior, and
Crystal Metallic Silver bodywork. Mr Chappell transferred the car to
his business and then back to him personally, so it was effectively
a one-owner car when it was sold even though three owners’ names
appear. Our vendor is, technically, the fourth owner but he has
covered only a nominal mileage since his purchase, so really this
sparkling Audi has only had one keeper.
The original service book shows evidence of regular service intervals
and the car was last serviced by Audi specialists Swift Performance
of Sheffield in April 2016. With the car are its service book, some
invoices and a number of previous MOT test certificates, and the
odometer currently indicates 16,231 miles.
As one would expect for such a low-mileage example, this Quattro
is in show condition and is the best example we have ever seen. The
paint is in fine order and the shut lines are superb. The engine bay
is extremely clean and shows no signs of modifications with factory
correct finishes, stickers, and fittings. The interior is in very good
condition.
Finding an original 20v Quattro is hard enough in the current
marketplace, but one showing just 16,240 miles is a truly special
proposition. With BMW E30 M3s and Mercedes-Benz Evo models
hitting new heights in recent years, it seems that the humble Quattro
will inevitably follow in their footsteps. With world rally-winning
pedigree and a growing cult status, the demand for low-mileage
Quattros is surely going to increase for many years to come.
We encourage pre-sale inspections and prospective bidders should
contact the office for further information on this true ‘best-of-breed’
example. Your chance to relive the glorious 1980s in ‘the’ car of its era!

The Datsun 260Z was the second generation of ‘Z’ two-seat coupés
produced by Nissan in Japan from 1975 to 1978. Its dramatic looks
owed a considerable amount to a 1960s styling concept drawn by
Count Albrecht Goertz for Datsun, presumably at a time when they
were considering ways to break into the European sports car market.
The 260Z coupé replaced the 240Z. The engine was enlarged with a
longer stroke to 2.6 litres with a consequential increase in power from
150bhp to 165bhp and the car was stiffened by the extension of the
chassis rails and the addition of a rear roll bar. Much like the 240Z,
the car was fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard and
the car featured independent suspension all round with MacPherson
struts at the front and Chapman links at the rear. Rack and pinion
power steering and front disc brakes meant that the ‘Z’ cars were a
thoroughly modern package indeed.
Originally delivered to the USA, this left-hand drive Datsun 260Z was
sourced and imported into the UK in 2016 by its previous owner. On
its arrival here, the car was subject to much recommissioning work,
which included a repaint in the original striking shade of Metallic
Green complemented by the original black sports upholstery. The car
also features such improvements as adjustable Koni shock absorbers,
polyurethane suspension bushes and a recent fast-road clutch.
Furthermore, the car benefits from a five-speed Nissan Silvia gearbox,
a fairly common and Owners’ Club-approved modification that greatly
enhances the drivability of the car, especially in modern traffic.
The 260Z is one of the most rewarding cars to drive and a true usable
classic, and this example represents fantastic value with scope for
further improvements if desired.

1969 was, effectively, the final year for the Shelby Mustang. By
now, assembly had shifted to Michigan from California where it was
contracted out to the A.O. Smith Corporation. Smith, an established
Motor City contractor, had brought a level of serious manufacturing
skill, supplier management, procedure, and standards never seen at
Shelby’s facility where LAX met the vibrant (and sometimes extreme)
subculture of Venice, California.
The 1969 Shelby Mustang was drastically different visually from the
standard Mustangs, with a completely different nose and grille, a
wide rectangular opening with blacked-out grille flanked by 7-inch
headlights and with Shelby’s characteristic driving lights now
smaller rectangular pieces below the attractive bumper. The special
Shelby bonnet had five ducts, three NACA-style surface ducts to
supply cold air directly to the engine air intake and two extractors
at the back of the bonnet relieving under-bonnet pressure and
exhausting heated air in front of the windscreen.
The ‘Marti Report’ accompanying this very special GT350 confirms
its build date as February 27th, 1969 and it was ordered in Candy
Apple Red with a White stripe and ‘blackout hood treatment’. The
interior was ‘3AA’- Black Clarion knit/Corinthian Vinyl Hi-Back
bucket seats, and the car was fitted with a four-speed, wide ratio,
manual transmission. The document also goes on to state that the
Shelby was specified with a ‘3.25 Traction-Lok differential, sport
deck rear seat, power front disc brakes, power steering, AM radio,
tinted glass, and deluxe belts’. It left the factory on February 28th
and was delivered to Galpin Motors in Sepulveda, California.
Our vendor, who clearly has a passion for ‘American Iron’, has
owned this striking car for the past few years and it has resided in
his significant collection of special American muscle cars. It has
just returned from ‘Iconic Creations’ in Essex where it was fully
serviced and treated to a new exhaust. The car is UK-registered and,
as you might expect from such a fastidious owner, is in exceptional
condition. If you are in the market for a late-‘60s Shelby, we don’t
know where you would look to find a better one.

When Ford launched the Escort XR3, the benchmark Volkswagen
Golf GTi had ruled the hot hatchback market for several years.
However, Ford’s 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.
Also introduced in 1983, the Escort Cabriolet in both XR3i and Ghia
specifications was Ford of Europe’s first convertible since the 1960s.
Based around a reinforced monocoque chassis, the convertible
was engineered by German coachbuilder Karmann. An elegant
and practical design, it featured the same all-round independent
suspension, rack and pinion steering and brakes as its more common
hatchback siblings. Powered by a fuel-injected 1597cc SOHC four-
cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission, the XR3i
Cabriolet was capable of nearly 120mph and became the ‘darling’ of
the 1980s overnight.
This stunning 1989 XR3i is finished in a delightful shade of Aquafoam
Metallic with a classic grey interior and is in truly remarkable
condition, having lived a sheltered life in the care of its one owner
from new and having covered just under 11,000 miles in that time.
Purchased in January 1989, this sparkling little cabriolet has been
its owner’s pride and joy ever since and has spent most of its life
being admired in his garage. As one would expect, the condition of
the car is exceptional and appears untouched. It’s accompanied by
an excellent history file that includes not only its original factory book
pack with the service book showing two stamps, but the original sales
invoice along with several other invoices and, importantly, a large
number of MOT test certificates and SORN records for the car.
Silverstone Auctions has gained a well-deserved reputation for
sourcing remarkable cars with low mileage and low ownership, and
this delightful XR3i Cabriolet fits the bill perfectly.

For the 360, Ferrari partnered with Alcoa to produce an entirely new
all-aluminium space frame chassis that was 40% stiffer than the
F355 that it replaced. The design was 28% lighter despite a 10%
increase in overall dimensions. Along with a lightweight frame, the
new Pininfarina body styling dispensed with the previous decade’s
sharp angles and flip-up headlights in favour of a much more
modern, curvaceous outline. The new V8 engine, common to all
versions, utilised a 3.6-litre capacity, flat plane crankshaft, titanium
connecting rods and generates 395bhp (294kW, 400ps). Despite what
on paper look like modest gains, in reality, the power-to-weight ratio
was significantly improved over the F355, owing to the combination
of less weight and more power. Weight was reduced by 60kg and the
0-100km/h (62mph) acceleration performance improved from 4.7
to 4.5 seconds.
The 360 Spider is Ferrari’s twentieth road-going convertible and
the 360 was always designed with a Spider variant in mind. Since
removing the roof of a coupé reduces the torsional rigidity, the
360 was built for strength in other areas and Ferrari designers
strengthened the sills, stiffened the front of the floor pan, and
redesigned the windscreen frame. The rear bulkhead had to be
stiffened to cut out engine noise from the cabin. The convertible’s
necessary dynamic rigidity is provided by additional side
reinforcements and a cross brace in front of the engine. Passenger
safety is ensured by a strengthened windscreen frame and roll bars.
The use of light aluminium throughout results in the Spider weighing
in only 60kg (130lb) heavier than the coupé.
This very special left-hand drive 360 Spider F1 is finished in Grigio
Titanio with Tan Leather and has covered less than 3,000 miles in
total having come from a private collection in Luxembourg. It has
been stored in a meticulous manner, so much so that the car was
still on the original tyres with no sign of perishing or cracking. It has
had a new set of tyres fitted for this Sale but the original set has
been kept. It comes complete with all its original owner’s manuals
and service book in the Ferrari leather book pack, an untouched
toolkit in its leather holder and the tyre inflation kit. The interior is in
outstanding order with no signs of wear, the switches are all perfectly
intact, the carpets and seats are pristine, and the car has a current
MOT test certificate.
This sparkling F1 Spider was recommissioned on the 03.10.2014 at
4,542km by JMH Automotive, a well-known Ferrari specialist. It had a
full service and cam belts, a process repeated almost two years later
on 30.08.2016 at 4,546km.

Although always intended to house the new Tadek Marek-designed
V8 engine, the Aston Martin DBS first appeared with the 4.0-litre ‘six’
of the concurrently produced DB6. Styled in-house by Bill Towns, the
beautiful DBS caused quite a stir, ‘Autocar’ magazine observing that
‘Without the aid of an Italian stylist the Newport Pagnell team came
up with something as modern, handsome and Italianate as anything
from the Turin coachbuilders at that time.’
A full four-seater, the DBS employed a platform-type chassis with
independent suspension all round: wishbone and coil-spring at
the front, De Dion with Watts linkage at the rear. Bigger and more
luxuriously appointed than the DB6, the heavier DBS disappointed
some by virtue of its slightly reduced performance, but there were
no complaints when the V8 arrived on 27th September 1969. With
an estimated 345bhp available from its 5,340cc, fuel-injected, four-
cam motor, the DBS V8 could reach 100mph in under 14 seconds,
running on to a top speed of 160mph – a staggering performance in
those days and one that fully justified the claim that it was the fastest
production car in the world. Even with an automatic transmission like
this example here, the V8 could reach 100mph in around 15 seconds
and better 145mph flat-out.
Apart from the change of engine, notable visual differences were the
specially-designed 15-inch GKN light alloy wheels (as opposed to the
distinctive wire wheels employed on the DBS), with ventilated brake
discs for the first time on an Aston Martin production car. A Chrysler
Torqueflite auto transmission was offered as an alternative to the ZF
manual five-speed unit.
In common with the six-cylinder DBS, the DBS V8 was produced until
May 1972, after which the car adopted the later single headlamp
front end and new owners, Company Developments Ltd, renamed the
car AM V8.
According to the Aston Martin Heritage Trust Certificate, YON 770J
was finished in Dubonnet Rosso with Natural leather and Fawn
carpets and despatched from the factory on 18th March 1971 to
Plough Motors, before being first registered a week later to Malcolm
Freedman on behalf of The Green Shield Stamp Company in
Edgeware. A few years later, they sold the car to a Norman Horwood
of Edgbaston who became the next keeper on 5th December 1974.
It was from Edgbaston that the car’s next owner, Derek Grubb,
was to buy the DBS on 20/08/1981 and was to remain its proud
custodian for the next 33 years. Derek’s love affair with his Aston was
to continue for over three decades and within the very neat history
file (amongst decades of invoices and MOT test certificates), there is
a poignant story of the times they spent together. He was a licensed
aircraft engineer and was often away for months at a time, however,
his Hereford-based father used to exercise the car occasionally and
make sure it was always MOT tested. Within the file are invoices for
work carried out over the years amounting to over £40,000, far too
many to list here. Derek has also put together a spreadsheet detailing
everything that was done to the car over his 33-year tenure including
the fact that in 1990, he felt that YON was looking a little tired, so
instructed Phoenix Car Restorations near Hereford to take the car
back to bare metal and repaint it in its original Dubonnet Rosso. All
the brightwork was replaced or rechromed at the same time and the
Aston was generally returned to looking its best.
All good things must come to an end sadly, and Derek had to part
with his Aston – on 2nd May 2014, this very smart big V8 became
the responsibility of Jem Tugwell from Chertsey. The Aston visited
Nicholas Mee & Co on 16/06/2016 for a plug service and to sort out
a few niggles and the invoice totalled £2,000. The mileage at that
point was 80,233.
Only in the last ten years have original DBSs started to become
sought-after and only in the last five have their values rocketed, with
the very best now commanding up to £200,000. In a rising market,
this V8 DBS in its original colour, from very long-term fastidious
ownership, and with a comprehensive service history, may well turn
out to be one of your better buys.

The Graham Hull-penned Silver Seraph was a clear statement of
Rolls-Royce’s intention to reclaim the coveted title of producer of
‘The best car in the world’. Following a long gestation period, it was
eventually only made for four years, from 1998 to 2002 and replaced
the Silver Spur, which ended production in 1997. All Seraphs were
hand-built at the factory in Crewe, which stopped assembling Rolls-
Royce models in 2002 but continued with Bentley.
The Seraph was powered by a 5.4-litre, aluminium-alloy BMW M73
V12 engine, making it the first twelve-cylinder Rolls-Royce since
the 1939 Phantom III. The transmission was a 5-speed automatic
and standard electronics included digital engine management,
adaptive ride control and anti-lock brakes. The car had a base price
of £155,175 in the UK at the time and just 1,570 Seraphs slipped
quietly out of the Crewe gates during that four-year period.
This elegant 1998 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph is classically finished in
Silver Pearl with French Navy Connolly Leather, Dark Blue Lambswool
Rugs and acres of Burr Walnut. The interior is traditionally
comfortable with rear picnic tables, climate control and electric front
and rear heated seats. It was owned from 2004 by an elderly man,
who had previously owned four other Rolls-Royce, and in 2013 the
car was transferred to his grandson, who had always admired it, but
eventually found it a little impractical for city life and sold it.
The Seraph has covered a gentle 46,500 miles and having recently
been subject to service and maintenance work costing over £4,600
and fitted with new tyres and batteries, is ready to go. Included in the
sale are the original book pack with handbooks plus the car’s service
book containing 12 entries, the last dated April 2017 at 46,498 miles,
along with a number of older MOT test certificates.

The second-generation Focus RS is the Focus that Ford originally
claimed they would never build – a limited-run 300bhp, ‘super-
hatch’. But we’re delighted they did, and make no apology for being
enthusiastic about this remarkable little car with its huge twin-blade
spoiler at the back, aggressive body kit, and ballistic performance
(0-60 in 4.7seconds/163mph) from the turbocharged 2.5-litre,
5-cylinder engine.
The most controversial aspect of the car was its drivetrain, which
remained front, not four-wheel drive. Ford’s engineers developed and
patented a system called the ‘Revo-Knuckle’, which was designed to
eliminate torque-steer by keeping the kingpin offset angle consistent
even under heavy load, and with 301bhp and a massive 324lb-ft
available, that was most of the time. The chassis was stiffened by
about 30% and bigger drive shafts, a wider track, lower ride height,
and a faster steering rack translated into remarkably civilised road
manners.
In the raw, the RS looks a bit of a ‘beastie’. With its gaping grille,
19-inch wheels, flared arches, deep diffuser, and a wing that would
embarrass a Porsche Turbo, the RS leaves you in no doubt about
its intentions. However, it’s still a Ford Focus and is good to drive,
easy to park, has plenty of boot space, and is reasonably quiet at a
constant speed.
Delivered on the 23rd May 2011 this very special, UK-supplied,
Focus RS is finished in ‘Ultimate Green’ with a green sports fabric
trim and has covered just 18 miles from new! The original sales
invoice states that the car was supplied with a Sony DAB Digital
radio and ‘Luxury pack 1’. Despite the astonishingly low mileage,
this RS has four stamps in the Service Book at Ford retailer, Tim
Norton in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016 when the indicated mileage
was 14. The car is basically ‘unwrapped’, the radio aerial has never
been fitted, external wheel centres have never been put on, and the
seats still have the delivery plastic on them as effectively, the car has
never been used.
This is a comparatively new vehicle for a classic car auction house
but the demand for sporting Fords, no matter what vintage, seems
to continue unabated and with this unrepeatable mileage, be sure
not to miss out on this amazing example.

500 versions of the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth were needed to
homologate the ‘Evolution’ model in British and European Touring
car racing. They were all converted by Tickford Engineering (this
being number 455 out of 500) and featured a more powerful
224bhp engine as well as many aerodynamic tweaks to the
bodywork that included much larger spoilers and cooling ducts front
and rear.
This particular car is very special indeed. Discovered by Joe Macari
whilst visiting a significant Ferrari collection in Germany in 2007,
he returned with the car and registered it to himself before finally
selling, for what was then the very significant sum of £28,000, to
a private Ford collector. As one of just 56 cars ever made in White,
and with the very low mileage of just 5,300 when Joe sold it, the car
was almost certainly unique.
Since then it has been a part of a private collection covering very
little mileage. In September 2014 it was sent to highly respected
Ford specialists, Tremona Garage in Southampton, for a £4,000
service that included all fluids, belts and a new battery. The mileage
today is just a little over 6,000 and the car remains untouched.
Recently it has been a part of a significant private collection and
professionally stored in an indoor heated and dehumidified facility.
Over the years, so many Sierra Cosworths have had modifications
or upgrades to various parts, usually engine, suspension or brakes,
however, this particular car is extraordinarily original and described
by the highly respected RS500 Registrar, Paul Linfoot, as one of
“the most original and best available RS 500s” in the world today.
“How many RS 500s are left with such low mileage?” is the question
he asked. Very few, if any, is our considered answer, particularly
in this well-preserved state. The comprehensive history file will be
available to inspect at the Sale and the car will have a fresh MOT
test beforehand. Silverstone Auctions were recently privileged to
sell a very similar car (with almost twice this mileage) for a figure
in excess of today’s guide, so we feel that this remarkable car
represents good value.

Designed by Spen King, the original 1970 Range Rover was a
masterstroke of understated elegance and remained in production
virtually unaltered for 25 years. Its boxy, thin-pillared bodywork was
not substantially redesigned until the second-generation model of
1995, which was an altogether heavier and more complex vehicle
than its rugged forebear. All versions are hugely capable machines
that are equally at home on the motorway, on the school run, or
clambering to the top of a mountain.
Built on a box-section ladder-type chassis, much like the
contemporary Land Rover, the Range Rover had more sophisticated
all-independent coil spring suspension, permanent four-wheel drive,
disc brakes all round and was powered by Rover’s lightweight all-
alloy 3.5-litre V8 engine, detuned to 135bhp. The ultimate off-road
/on-road vehicle, its clever suspension managed to combine a
3 and 1/2 tonne towing ability, a huge range of articulation off-road,
and limousine comfort on A and B roads.
On offer here is a 1988, post-facelift, UK-supplied, manual gearbox,
petrol powered Range Rover featuring Lucas electronic fuel injection,
improving both performance and fuel economy. Presented in striking
Portofino Red, this remarkable car has covered 5,500 miles from
new. The original sales invoice in the accompanying history file
states that it was supplied by ‘County Motors’ in Lincoln to a
Mr M.J. Evans on August 1st, 1988 and the car has been owned by
the same family until very recently. They have clearly looked after it
as the car remains in remarkably original condition with consistent
shut lines all round and the paint still retains a deep and impressive
shine. The interior presents as you would expect from the mileage
indicated and is a lovely place to be. Accompanying the car is the
original Bill of Sale, a variety of old MOT test certificates, related
invoices, and the car’s manuals and service records. The service
book shows five stamps to-date with the last one indicating 5,094
miles in 2001, showing just how few miles have been covered in the
past 16 years.
This wonderful Range Rover really does need to be seen to be
believed, as very rarely do these iconic cars come to market with
this mileage and in this original condition. Supplied with the
cherished plate (5315 ME) and aforementioned history file, we are
very pleased to offer this car to the open market for the first time in
its lifetime. This is surely an unrepeatable opportunity and therefore
worthy of consideration by any serious collector.

Unveiled in 2003 at the Geneva Motor Show, the Continental GT
was a different animal altogether. Very importantly, the car differed
significantly from the previous Continental R and T models in terms
of its place in the overall scheme of things. Although much of the car
is hand-assembled, it is essentially a mass-produced vehicle made
in significantly larger numbers. It is not a coachbuilt extravagance
of the past and, as a result, the price at launch was significantly less
than the Continental R – this comparative affordability immediately
exposed the car to an entirely different and much wider customer
base. Introduced at the New York Motor Show in April 2006, the
Bentley Continental GT Convertible (or GTC) also benefitted from
generally being considered ‘affordable’ (even though it wasn’t really)
and proved an immediate sales success.
From time immemorial, car manufacturers have struggled with
slicing the top off their saloons and retaining a degree of stiffness
and Bentley naturally encountered the same problem. Determined to
engineer the most torsionally rigid open four-seater that money could
buy, the Crewe manufacturer incorporated additional steel tubing
within the newcomer’s A-posts and windscreen frame, reinforced its
sills, and cross-braced the floorplan to a greater degree. The result
was a class-leading 16,595lb-ft per degree, which was not far away
from the car’s tin-topped sibling. The Convertible utilised the same
smoothly powerful, twin-turbocharged, six-litre W12 engine, Torsen-
based permanent four-wheel drive system, massive ABS-backed disc
brakes, and sophisticated all-round independent air suspension.
Electro-hydraulically operated, the Bentley’s luxuriously padded fabric
roof not only stowed away neatly but provided almost limousine levels
of refinement. Reputedly capable of over 190mph with the top down,
the GTC featured two sturdy steel hoops concealed beneath its rear
headrests that could be deployed within fractions of a second if the
onboard computer sensed an impending roll. Arguably more of a 2+2
than a true four-seater, the Bentley could raise or lower its hood at
speeds of up to 20mph, which was handy, and quite good fun, in slow
moving traffic.
As you might expect from a car of this nature with 14,000 miles
indicated and an impeccable main agent service history, this 2008
Continental GTC presents superbly in gleaming Beluga Black with
Flamenco Red leather.The Bentley service record includes no less than
10 stamps from the car’s Pre-Delivery Inspection 27/02/2008 at 28
miles, through to the most recent Bentley service on 03/03/2017 at
13,450 miles.
With the cost of a new GTC at well over £100,000 more than our
guide, this 14,000 mile, fastidiously maintained, unmarked example
looks positively good value.

Offered here is a remarkable Ford Escort RS1800 originally built new in
1979 for Henri Toivonen and Phil Boland’s entry in the 1979 Lombard
RAC Rally of Great Britain. It has remained with the founder and owner
of PCA Motorsport, Peter Clarke for its entire life. KWT 556V was used
by him in 1980 in the first few rounds of the British National RAC
Castrol with great success before being placed in long-term storage.
The stunning Escort has now been totally remanufactured, making it
probably the most capable Escort RS1800 Group 4 rally car available
today in superb condition.
As part of a large Ford and RS Dealership in the North of England, PCA
Motorsport operated as a Ford Satellite Rally Team between 1976 -
1979. Team Principal Peter Clarke was himself UK National Champion in
1978. During 1978, with Ford factory assistance, PCA ran various drivers
including Björn Waldegärd, Chris Slater and Jean-Pierre Nicolas finishing
11th overall on the RAC that year. During the course of that event, the
PCA Team Total Gold befriended and assisted an unknown Finnish driver,
Henri Toivonen, who amazingly had finished ahead of Jean-Pierre in a
somewhat uncompetitive Talbot Sunbeam in 9th place overall.
The post-event debrief showed just how talented Henri was.
Discussions took place with PCA’s sponsors, Total Oil (UK) and the Ford
factory, resulting in them running a two-car team in 1979. Henri was
signed for the British Open Championship (all six rounds) alongside
Malcolm Wilson. PCA prepared Henri’s cars during the year with
Malcolm’s cars being prepared by another Ford dealer, Thomas Motors
of Blackpool. All on-event servicing etc. was under the control of PCA
Motorsport. The season started with the International Mintex Rally
with the three-car PCA Team winning the Yorkshire Post Team trophy.
Henri finished 3rd o/a on his debut and Peter Clarke was 7th ahead of
Malcolm Wilson in 8th place. It’s fair to say the pairing made a major
impact on the championship that year. During his time in the UK Henri
lived with Peter and his family for several months learning much from
hands-on experience at Peter’s Ford Dealership and competitions
department. For the 1979 Lombard RAC Rally of Great Britain, PCA
built Henri a brand new car, KWT 556V. Specified at the same level as
the works cars, it was fitted with the latest Brian Hart engine, along
with ZF gearboxes from Terry Samuel. Unfortunately, whilst very well
placed, Henri and his co-driver Phil Boland had to retire the car due
to ongoing gearbox issues, the car having used all three gearboxes
available to them. For 1980, Henri’s co-driver Phil Boland teamed up
with Peter Clarke in KWT 556V and they enjoyed a great season with a
number of podium finishes in various rounds of the Castrol Autosport
national championship. At the end of the season, Peter took the
decision to retire the car from ‘active service’ and placed it in long-term
storage.
After 35 years, in 2015, it seemed the time had come to extract
KWT 556V with a view to creating a fitting tribute to the late, great
Henri Toivonen. It was essential that the car was prepared to exactly
the correct 1979 specification and this project was entrusted to
Ramsport, the renowned Rallysport specialists in Ruthin. After much
consideration, it was decided that the ageing bodyshell did not retain
enough strength for it to function as a really quick rally car, so in the
interests of safety, it was decided to use a period shell and reassemble
KWT around that.
The original BDG #79841 was totally rebuilt with all new components
by Graham Hicks who, coincidentally, had worked for Hartpower
(Brian Hart) on the original in 1979. The car’s extensive history
file, as is a comprehensive specification sheet, dyno readouts (246
bhp@7500rpm) and quotes explaining the impressive torque curve
of this engine and the virtues of the cams fitted for drivability. The V5
lists KWT 556V with chassis number PCA 0002 as an ‘Amateur Build
Clarke’ signifying a chassis/body rally build and a way of avoiding the
pitfalls of British Type Approval at that time. It was registered normally
by Peter Clarke’s dealership in November 1979.
This stunning, seriously well engineered, RS1800 Group 4 rally car
has never left the control of the team owner/driver of the operation
entrusted by Ford to look after the interests some of the sports top
names and is a must for any collector or driver requiring the ultimate
on-the-button RS1800. It looks, sounds and goes exactly as it would
have in 1979 when it helped play a part in the career of one of the
bravest rally drivers of all.
The car is FIA compliant to ‘2015 Historic Motorsport’ regulations
and is, naturally, matching numbers. A Certificate of Authenticity will
be available, signed by Peter Clarke the car’s owner from 1979, Philip
Boland the original co-driver, and the build team.

The first Mini Cooper was launched in July 1961 and had been
developed by the designer of the original Mini Sir Alec Issigonis, with
racing driver and engineer John Cooper, who in 1959, had driven a
prototype Mini to the Italian Grand Prix and been greatly impressed
by the car. It was initially produced with a 997cc version of the
BMC ‘A’ series engine, which was fitted with twin SU carburettors, a
revised cylinder head, and an improved exhaust system. The car was
also fitted with a close ratio gearbox, which had a remote gearshift,
a higher axle ratio than the standard Mini and was fitted with front
disc brakes. These Coopers were easily distinguishable from the
standard models by the different front grille, two-tone paintwork,
and on the MkI, two-tone upholstery – most of the MkII cars featured
black vinyl. All Coopers were fitted with 100mph speedometers as
opposed to the 90mph units on standard cars. In January 1964 the
997cc engine was swapped to a BMC 998cc unit, and later the same
year the rubber cone suspension was replaced by BMC’s Hydrolastic
system. The MkII version of the Austin & Morris Mini Cooper arrived
in October 1967, featuring among other cosmetic changes, a wider
rear windscreen, and in 1968 an all synchromesh gearbox. Production
of the MkII Cooper ended in 1969.
This gorgeous little 1968 Morris Mini Cooper MkII 998cc is finished
in Tartan Red with a Snowberry White roof and has been in the
custodianship of its last owner for 14 years. During this time it was
subject to a complete nut-and-bolt restoration that was completed
in 2012. The restoration was carried out by Sprockets & Spanners
of Bradford (seriously) and no stone was left unturned as every
component was either refurbished or replaced. The engine and gearbox
were rebuilt and the head was converted to run on unleaded fuel.
The upholstery was replaced as were the carpets, roof lining, and
door cards. This car really needs to be seen to be appreciated, the
engine bay is fully detailed and the underside is as good as the rest
of the paintwork. This Cooper would be a welcome addition to any
collection.
Presented with the car is a comprehensive history file including the
invoices from its restoration, other miscellaneous bills, and past MOT
test certificates.
The Mini Cooper is one of the few cars truly worthy of its iconic
status, the lovely free revving yet torquey A-series engine combined
with well balanced sporty handling leaves drivers stepping out of
Minis with an ear to ear grin after every drive. We believe that any
true enthusiast must own a Mini Cooper at some point and this car is
ready to give you your next ‘Mini Adventure’.

The Volkswagen Transporter was introduced in 1950 and eventually
made a mark on the pages of automotive history and culture
worldwide. It is an iconic shape known the world over and has
attracted a following like no other small van ever. Commercially, it
was and continues to be through all its subsequent iterations, a
hit, celebrated for its simplicity in design, rugged reliability, and
inescapable charisma.
This extremely rare, right-hand drive ‘Doubledoor’ Panel van rolled
off the production line on 10th February 1954. We are informed
‘OLL 682’ is one of the oldest known Volkswagen buses to be
originally delivered to the UK and there are only six known right-
hand drive ‘Barndoor’ (pre-1955) Doubledoors worldwide. Not only
is this a very rare vehicle but it also has an interesting history with
its first owner enjoying the van for 30 years. In 1985, recognising
how special the van was, Bob Shaill purchased it and, along with
the UK ‘Split Window Bug Club’, intended to use ‘OLL 682’, as the
club’s support vehicle for their shows and meetings. There was an
article in the Split Window Club Magazine at the time, written by
Bob, pointing out just how rare this vehicle is and the icing on the
cake being ‘the original factory fitted running gear’ still fitted to the
van.
In more recent years the ‘Barndoor’ has been subject to significant
restoration with ‘keeping it standard’ being the priority. The original
engine/gearbox is still in place, although naturally rebuilt, and the
correct 16-inch wheels are fitted. Hundreds of images of this much
acclaimed Barndoor going back to the 1970s are in the file and the
restoration was also documented with pictures detailing the process
along the way. The little van enjoyed more celebrity when it featured
in ‘Ultra VW’ magazine in 2007 and a copy of this is also in the file.
Other rare features include a genuine ‘BeKoWa’ full-length industrial
roof rack together with a 1950s BeKoWa rack catalogue, a very rare
BeKoWa fold-up ladder and, incredibly, all eight original stamped
clamps and crank start handle.
If the cult surrounding Volkswagen vans and buses leaves you cold
then this vehicle is probably not for you, however, if you are amongst
the millions worldwide who ‘get it’, then you will appreciate the
significance of this early ‘Barndoor’.

The DBS was intended as the successor to the Aston Martin DB6,
although the two ran concurrently for three years. Powered by a
straight-six engine, it was produced from 1967 until 1972, eventually
being phased out in favour of the Aston Martin V8.
It was a larger coupé than the DB6, with four full-sized seats, but was
powered by the same 4.0-litre engine as the previous car. Claimed
engine output was 282bhp, but a no-cost Vantage engine option used
Italian-made Weber carburettors, increasing output to an advertised
325bhp.
The DBS was intended to have a more ‘modern’ look than the previous
series of Aston models (the DB4 through DB6), and it incorporated a
fastback style rear end and squared off front grille, atypical of Astons
at the time, but very much then in vogue in automotive design circles
of the late sixties. Trademark Aston design features, such as a bonnet
scoop, knock-off wire wheels, and side air vents with stainless steel
brightwork were however retained and, sadly, the DBS was the last
Aston Martin to be built under David Brown’s control.
DBS Chassis no. DBS/5817/R was a late production six-cylinder car
and was finished in Ascot Grey, the only DBS ever to be painted in this
colour. It was first registered on 11th February 1972 as LYX 129K and
after spending some time abroad arrived in Northern Ireland and was
registered by Herbert Stevenson on 15th January 1976. It returned
across the Irish Sea in early 1978 and became the property of North
West Storage Equipment in Rochdale who registered the Aston as
STD 791S on 18th April 1978. After around 18 months, the DBS was
purchased by Philip Wood of Oldham and he remained its custodian
until recently.
There is a substantial history file with the car and the 34 old MOT test
certificate indicate that it has been very lightly used, certainly in the
last 15 years, and corroborates the mileage of just under 63,000. Also
in the file are the car’s current MOT test certificate, the service history
from 1980, the original Green Log Book, and a condition report from
Greenfields in 2011, which concludes with “Although not in Concours
condition, this car represents a very good example of the Marque, and I
have no reason to doubt the low indicated mileage is genuine. This is a
very pleasant and well-maintained Aston.”
Although running and certainly usable, with DBS values soaring, this
car is an excellent restoration project. It has all the positives, late
production, low mileage, from long-term ownership, great service
history, no previous restoration, and the only one ever painted Ascot
Grey.
As with all the Astons available today, it’s worth a visit to our

have a think.

Produced from 1992 until 2003, the Ferrari 456 and later 456 M
are front-engined ‘Grand Tourers’ in true Ferrari tradition and were
an overdue replacement for the outdated front-engined 412 that
had been the company’s premium four-seat V12 car for many years.
The name ‘456’ refers to the fact that each cylinder displaces 456
cubic centimetres and this was the last Ferrari to use this naming
convention. Despite its supercar performance, 436bhp, 0-60mph
in 5.2 secs, and a top speed of 188mph, the 456 has a relatively
unstressed engine, which has proven to be a very reliable unit.
The model was warmly received by press and enthusiasts alike,
and although not produced in large numbers, was always gently
in demand by ‘silver-haired’ Ferrari owners before the 456M was
eventually replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti.
Offered here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive Ferrari 456 GT
delivered to a Mr M. Bralsford of St Martin, Jersey on 16th May
1995, through the then Ferrari Main Agent on the Channel Islands,
Melbourne Garage. One of only 141 six-speed manual gearbox
cars brought into the UK by Maranello Concessionaires, this car is
finished in a striking combination of Argento Nürburgring with a
blue leather interior and Otranto Blue carpets.
The history file and service book that accompany this car show
it has been impeccably maintained throughout with some 20
stamps in the book from both Ferrari Main Dealers and marque
specialists such as Kent High Performance, Joe Macari, and Rardley
Motors. The most recent service was carried out in February 2017
at respected marque specialists, Foskers, where it had a full cam
belt service and four new tyres. The car is MOT tested until 27th
September 2018 and is supplied with a UK V5C, its complete
toolkit in a tan leather case and its tan leather bookpack with a full
complement of original factory books.
Now showing just 39,100 miles on the odometer, this is a superb
example of the very desirable, manual gearbox 456 GT and these
elegant four-seaters are now getting the attention they have so long
deserved. Increasingly sought after, well cared for and low mileage
Ferraris such as this one rarely come to market and we urge you to
come and view this car in person.
