A very warm welcome to Silverstone Circuit for three days of special sales at the Silverstone Classic.
The Silverstone Classic Sale is one of our most exciting and high profile auctions in the calendar and it’s a delight to be back. We’ve been hosting an auction here at the world’s biggest classic motor racing festival for the past six years and it just gets bigger and better every year. It really is a privilege to be involved with this event and the provenance of the cars on offer this year is a clear indication of the excitement surrounding the festival.
I’m sure you’ll agree that this is one of our most intriguing catalogues ever, with a diverse and stunning collection of classic cars, modern sports cars and supercars, racing cars, automobillia and luxury watches going under the hammer.
We’re extremely proud to offer over 450 lots, and whether you are in the market for a new track day toy, a piece of Italian exotica, restoration project or classic hot hatch, there’s certainly something to tempt enthusiasts of all tastes.
My dedicated and knowledgeable team are on hand to answer any queries on any of the lots on offer here, so please do not hesitate to speak with us.
I’m also pleased to welcome the team from Channel 4’s For the Love of Cars, who are here to film the sale of the very first production Lotus Elite, with a prestigious race history and just restored by Ant Anstead and his team for the popular TV series.
Our next sale takes place in the stunning setting of Blenheim Palace at Salon Privé, entries to which are now being invited so if you’re interested in selling your classic car with us then please speak to a member of the team.
We return to Silverstone Circuit for The Porsche Sale on the 15th October and then finish the year at the UK’s biggest classic car show, the NEC Classic Motor Show, for a two-day sale on the 12th and 13th of November.
I hope to see you at one of our upcoming sales but for now I hope you have a fantastic time here at the Silverstone Classic and wish you the best of luck in securing the car of your dreams.

Silverstone Race Retro Competition & Classic Car Sale 24th 26th February
http://www.silverstoneauctions.com/catalogues/race-retro-classic-car-sale-2017/
Welcome to Stoneleigh Park for Race Retro and our
first auction of the year.
It’s a privilege to be a part of this fantastic event, one
of Europe’s premier shows for historic motorsport
and I’m delighted to be back. We first hosted a sale
here in 2012 and our auction has grown so much in
that time, now with more than 90 classic road cars,
40 competition cars, watches, lifestyle items and
automobilia offered over three days this weekend.
As an historic racing enthusiast myself, this is one
of my highlights of the year and I look forward to
meeting as many other fans as possible over the
weekend. The team and I have been exceptionally busy
putting together a very special catalogue of highly
collectable cars for your buying pleasure, which I’m
sure will tempt you.
Of particular note in the road car sale, and becoming
something of a speciality for Silverstone Auctions, is
the number of highly original, low-mileage and singleownership
cars available, some offered on the open
market for the very first time. As part of the dedicated
Competition Car Sale there is a huge variety of highly
competitive and successful examples on offer, many
with recent victories and ready to race.
2016 was an excellent year for Silverstone Auctions
and certainly surpassed our expectations. Our sale
rooms were busier than ever, with many new clients
buying and selling with us, and we finished the year
with an amazing total of 445 cars sold for a total
hammer value of £26 million, including an incredible
10 new world records. Details of this year’s sales are
now available, so if you’re looking to sell then please
speak with a member of the team.

Welcome to Silverstone circuit, for one of the most
exciting sales of the summer – the Silverstone
Classic.
It’s a real privilege to take part in the world’s biggest
classic motorsport festival and to present three
days of sales with around 130 of the finest classic,
race and sports cars, plus we have a fabulous range
of automobilia, including collections from famous
motorsport personalities and a selection of quality
watches.
Our catalogue of cars is truly astounding this year,
with everything from two of ex-BTCC champion Tim
Harvey’s race cars, Barry Sheene’s 1985 Group A
Toyota, to an impressive collection of Jaguar E-Types,
Porsches, Ferraris and some incredibly low-mileage
cars, including a Ford Focus RS500 with just 206km
on the clock.
I’m especially proud of our dedicated and
knowledgeable team who have brought an exceptional
collection together that I’m sure will thrill and delight
you all. Please do not hesitate to talk to them at any
time if you require assistance in securing the car of
your dreams.
We hope you have a fabulous time with us on this
special weekend, and if you enjoy the sale why
not join us again at the stunning surroundings of
Blenheim Palace for Salon Privé where we will again
be presenting some of the world’s finest cars on 2nd
September. Entries are now being invited, so if you
have a car you would like to enter with Silverstone
Auctions, please do speak with one of our highly
experienced consignors who will be pleased to help.
Our Porsche Sale will follow soon after on 21st
October back here at the Wing at Silverstone, before

Show on 11th and 12th November.
Finally, I would like to say thank you for attending
this weekend’s sales and I look forward to seeing you
again at one of our upcoming auctions. Good luck

The NEC Classic Motor Show Sale 12th to 13th November 2016
http://www.silverstoneauctions.com/catalogues/nec-classic-motor-show-sale-2016
We’re delighted to return to the NEC for our fifth sale at the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show. This weekend’s two-day sale promises to see 2016 off with a bang. With more than 70,000 visitors set to attend, this show really is one of the highlights of our calendar. It’s always a fantastic event and is getting bigger and better every year.
I and the team at Silverstone Auctions look forward to an equally exciting and successful 2017, and with details of next year’s sales now available, please speak to us if you’re looking to sell.
So what of the current classic car market? The last 12 months have seen some potential challenges for the wider market, however the results from our most recent sales prove that the best cars will always appeal. Original UK, right-hand drive cars with good provenance continue to be in demand. Post-referendum we have seen that it is cheaper for European and US buyers to purchase cars from the UK so that’s a positive. However, the classic car market has always been, and is increasingly, an enthusiast-led market, and there’s no reason for the levels of enthusiasm to change. People have relatively few other good investment options at this time and if you are an enthusiast who has some cash in the bank, why not indulge in your dream classic?
With that and this weekend’s sale, there’s an eclectic offering of over 120 classic and modern sports cars and several historic motorcycles spanning some 89 years available for you to take home. At Silverstone Auctions we pride ourselves on bringing together ‘best of breed’ cars to auction and we hope you agree that the vehicles on offer do this justice.
Our team is on hand to provide even more insight into the cars on offer, with dedicated staff able to expertly guide you through the history files. If you have any queries or require any assistance please don’t hesitate to speak to a member of the team who will be more than happy to assist you.
Once again, I’d like to thank you for joining us, and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year with our first sale taking place at Race Retro in February.
Happy Bidding!

Silverstone Auctions The Nec Classic Motor Show Sale 2017 11 & 12th November
https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/catalogues/nec-classic-motor-show-sale-2017/
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.

super cars of all time. At Silverstone Auctions we pride ourselves on bringing ‘best-of-breed’ cars to auction and we hope you agree that the vehicles on offer do this justice.
We also have a fantastic selection of watches, lifestyle items and automobilia for auction if you’re looking for something a bit smaller to take home, or an early Christmas gift!
Should you have any questions at the sale please do not hesitate to talk to a member of our team who are here to assist you with securing your dream car. We would be delighted to provide you with any advice you require at any point during the auction process.
I and the team at Silverstone Auctions are looking forward to an equally successful and sensational 2019, and with details of next year’s sales now available, please speak to us if you’re looking to sell.
Finally, I would like to say thank you for joining us, enjoy the sale, and I look forward to seeing you in the New Year at our debut sale at the Autosport International Show hereat the NEC on 12th January 2019.
Welcome to the 2019 Silverstone Classic! This is our ninth consecutive year as the

The catalogue for our two-day, flagship sale, is our very best yet. It features the biggest

outstanding classic and competition cars, as well as a fantastic selection of 200
automobilia items, all for your consideration.
Over the course of the weekend we will be offering an unrepeatable selection of cars,

1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing (estimate £850,000 – £1,000,000).

includes his famous Mini Cooper S 1071S, which was the first to win an international
rally.
‘The Property of a Gentlemen’ is a 17-car collection, all of which will be offered at No
Reserve. Each one has their own unique history, from the award-winning Citroen DS
Super 5 to the collectable Lancia Delta HF Integrale; this is an opportunity to purchase
a special car from a gentleman’s private collection.
Alzheimer’s Research UK is Silverstone Classic’s official charity partner for the next
three years. Our automobilia sale on Saturday will open with eight charity lots in aid of
this and all funds raised will go directly to Race Against Dementia Fellowships, which
was founded by racing legend, Sir Jackie Stewart.
Amongst the broad variety of automobilia lots is a very special item, an Art Edition

They annual ‘clash of the rugby clans’ is to be hosted by the North West team at Birkenhead Park FC, Wirral on Wednesday 3 May
This tournament comprises teams of property professionals from the North West, Midlands and Yorkshire in what will be the 10 th year of competition and the 6 th year as an expanded tri regions format.

Silverstone Auctions Race Retro Competition & Classic Car Sale 23rd-25th Fe...Silverstone Auctions
https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/catalogues/race-retro-competition-car-sale-2018/
Welcome
Welcome to Race Retro for our first auction of the year.
2018 brings a number of exciting changes for Silverstone Auctions, with a refreshed
calendar of sales, new talent among our consignors and a new catalogue format. This
compact, lightweight model is now our standard format, listing every lot in the sale –
and it’s easy to park in your jacket pocket!
Our team has been exceptionally busy putting together a very special catalogue of
impressive and collectable cars for our seventh year here at Race Retro.
Friday’s Competition Car Sale features a wonderful variety of highly competitive and
successful race and rally cars, many with recent victories and ready to compete. Some
particularly historically significant examples are on offer, rallied or raced at the hands
of legendary drivers including Ari Vatanen and Colin McRae. For the racing drivers
among us, be sure to inspect the history and pedigree of the rally and race cars on
offer, which present some truly exciting opportunities for the fast-approaching new
season.
On Saturday we hold our Classic Car Sale, featuring some of the finest and rarest

Happy bidding!

Hello, and welcome to the Warwickshire Event Centre for
another exciting auction of ‘Everyman Classics’.
I’m proud to say that this catalogue is one of the best we
have ever offered, with 150 quality lots carefully sourced and
selected by our team.
If you’re a regular at CCA, you’ll notice some changes at this
sale. Huge demand has seen our auctions get bigger and
bigger, but we have now chosen to limit our catalogue to
150 lots so that the auction process is more manageable and
comfortable for all involved. In addition to this, and thanks to
the wonderful people here at the WEC, we’re also now able to
offer a whole day for buyers to collect their newly purchased
cars, with the auction hall open on Sunday for collections.
If you’re new to CCA, you’re soon to witness the excitement
and drama of the auction, with a fantastic selection of classics
young, old, and future ready to cross the auction block.
This particular sale has the broad range of makes and price
points that we always offer at our sales, but if you’re a fan of
Porsche, BMW or British classics you’re in for even more of
a treat. It’s seldom that you will find four examples of BMW’s
elegant 8-Series in one auction but that’s what we have today
including a remarkably pretty car in Aqua Metallic and a
range-topping V12 850CSi. Other quick ‘Beemers’ include an
M5, an M635, a V10 M5 Touring, and a couple of smart E46s
given the Alpina and AC Schnitzer treatment respectively.
Porsche are also well represented with 4 928s, 4 944s and
no less than 8 examples of the wonderful 911 in various forms.
Loyal fans of Mercedes-Benz need not feel left out as we are
offering a total of 17, including 8 examples of the sought-after
R107 in a variety of sizes and hues.
Of course, to most people, ‘Classics’ mean British and there
are just too many to mention. As well as 21 Jaguars dating
from 1954 to 2006, the usual festival of ‘Fast Fords’, 5 MGs
(including a sweet little 1100), 3 amazing Astons, a brace of
Bentleys, a ripple of Rolls, a blue-chip Bristol 411, a sharp little
Dart, and a ‘triumph’ of a TR5 with ‘best-of-breed’ aspirations,
there are so many more to consider.
Having reduced the number of entries that we accepted, our
emphasis has been on quality and it shows. It’s unlikely that
any of today’s classics will ever be much cheaper so why not
register to bid? If you have any questions about the buying or
selling process, please approach a member of our team who
will be pleased to help.
Have an enjoyable day and ‘Happy Bidding’.

Salon Privé offers a unique opportunity for you to

1986BENBOWLBYSC100
LOT101 Registration: NA
Chassis Number: 1
Engine Number: TBA
No Reserve
This is the very car that was designed and built by Ben Bowlby and his
dad Richard in 1985 and was raced by Ben in Special Saloons from the
1986 season onwards. The car is currently eligible for the CSCC Special
Saloon and Modsports Championship. During the time that Ben was
using and developing the car, there was a Channel 4 documentary
about Ben and the car ‘The nuts and bolts of Ben Bowlby’ (the current
owner has this on vhs videos) as well as a YouTube clip of Ben visiting
Frank Durney at Lotus to discuss the car’s aerodynamics.
Amongst the design innovations by Ben in the early 80s were the
flat floor, diffuser, adjustable front splitter and a ride height levelling
system which sadly got banned. Whilst Ben Bowlby went on to climb
the motorsport design and engineering ladder working for the likes
of Lola and Chip Ganassi, his more recent innovations have been the
Delta Wing Project and Nissan’s LMP1 car.
The car was owned/raced by a number of drivers throughout the
early 1990s including Erling Jenson who ran this car at some point as
well as Paul Brend and Derek Barrett. The car was always regarded as
ridiculously fast for a sub 1-litre car and held the class C lap record for
years at Castle Combe being first 1-litre car to lap the Wiltshire circuit
in under a minute and at an average speed of over 100mph.
Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, the car still made
occasional race appearances but its outright pace was being eclipsed
by the newer generation of club ‘prototypes’ such as Radicals and
Junos. The car was then bought in mid-2010 by its current owner. His
intention had always been to get the car back on track and then enjoy a
number of track days before commissioning Simon Green Motorsport
to carry out a full rebuild of the car, and is often the way, this became
a full restoration.
The engine was removed and all suspension components stripped
down, all rose joints checked over and replaced. and the wishbones
were media blasted, crack tested and then fully powder coated. The
chassis was stripped back too, and all welds crack tested before
painting in gloss black.
Whilst the engine was removed, a brand new 1,100cc unit was fitted
from a ZZR Kawasaki and had one of their modified sumps and oil
systems fitted. All the wheel bearings were replaced as were the
driveshafts and UJs, and the exhaust system was fully ceramic coated
along with new carbon race exhausts. The car even passed noise
restrictions at Bedford Autodrome.
Finally, it had brand new front and rear sections of bodywork made and
these were created from moulds supplied with the car and which will
be supplied to the new owner. In addition, the old wooden-based front
splitter and rear diffuser were remade using carbon and aluminium to
save weight and reduce flex. The last job was to make and fit carbon
infills to cover the side pod section, as well as reduce the flex in this
area.
Offered without reserve, this car represents an incredible opportunity
for the ultimate track-day car that will destroy practically anything else
in sight. As mentioned, the car is also eligible for the CSCC Special
Saloon and Modsports Championship. This amazing car must be seen
to be appreciated and is offered in superb overall condition. Not to be
missed!

Chassis Number: KC/52006
Engine Number: Not Specified
Estimate (£): 12,000 - 15,000
Instantly dubbed ‘the poor man’s E-Type’, the wonderful GT6 was
styled by Giovanni Michelotti in response to a brief from Triumph to
produce a GT version of the Spitfire.
Much more than a Spitfire with a hard top, it featured a fastback
body that was so aerodynamically efficient it was later copied by the
Competition Department at Triumph for the ‘works’ Spitfire entries at
Le Mans. The GT6 shared the same powerful 2-litre six-cylinder engine
with the Triumph Vitesse and with 105bhp on tap, could reach 60mph
in 10 seconds and topped out at 112mph – figures that comfortably
trounced the rival MGB.
Launched in 1966, the first cars had the same wayward swing-axle
rear suspension as the Spitfire and the Herald but this was ditched
in the MkII versions of 1968 for a more conventional reversed lower
wishbones set up.
This 1968 GT6 is an ‘entry level’ racer and was originally purchased in
Holland nine years ago by our vendor as a ‘rolling chassis’. It was then
taken to renowned Triumph specialist, Northampton based ‘Jigsaw’,
who set about carefully building the car to ‘Appendix K’ specification.
After the work was finished and the car was ready to go, it was entered
in the 2013 Porto Historic and acquitted itself well, for a maiden outing,
with two fourth place finishes. However, other commitments have
meant that our vendor has simply not had the time to spare and the
car has not raced since. Offered with a UK V5, a fresh MoT and HTP
papers (applied for at the time of consignment), this well-prepared
GT6 offers amazing value for someone seeking a low-cost entry into
motor sport.

1959MGAROADSTER
Registration: 277 UYN
Chassis Number: GHNL/71755
Engine Number: n/a (MGB block)
Estimate (£): 22,000 - 28,000
Officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955, the MGA
was produced from 1955 to 1962 replacing the older ‘T-type’ cars and
represented a complete break from the pre-war rectangular style.
The MGA’s bodywork was based largely on that of a one-off MG TD
specially built by the MG factory at the request of racing privateer
George Phillips for Le mans in 1952. Later, a new chassis was designed
enabling the driver to sit lower in the car with even cleaner bodywork
and this was known as EX 175. This first prototype, in turn, was
developed into EX182 and four of these were built for Le Mans in
1955 with the intention of entering the Production Class as they were,
effectively, ‘pre-production’ MGAs. When the production date at
Abingdon slipped a little, the three green cars (the other was red) were
re-entered in the Prototype Class which provided a little latitude for
further modifications. In the event, two cars finished in 12th and 17th
proving the MGA’s potential. The MGA has been raced extensively
since its 1955 introduction and with considerable success, both in
period, and in today’s historic race series.
Regularly seen at European and UK circuits for many years, this very
sound ex-California car, was built in July 1959 and competed in the
HARC MG-Competitions-Holland series during the 1990s. Imported
into the UK in 2002 and issued with FIA Papers, the car was regularly
raced until 2007 when the decision was made that the time had come
for a re-commission and update.
In 2008 work commenced, and the car was fitted with a new, very
competitive, 1950cc engine with Weber 45DCOE carburetor, tubular
manifold and big-bore exhaust system, an all-syncro 4-speed MGB
gearbox, uprated suspension using MGB Uprights, larger disc brakes,
and 5.5J steel wheel rims.
Unlike many UK club race cars, this very sound example retains all
the original specification aluminum and steel panels with the addition
of a Sebring-style front valance and a full-width low profile front
windscreen.
The car was then a regular competitor in the popular and exciting
“Equipe” GTS race series from 2008 to 2015, and more recently has
participated in various other events for 1950’s cars, including those run
by the Bentley Drivers Club and Aston Martin Owners Club.
Approved and issued with FIA Historic Identity Papers several years
ago (now expired), the car has since been sympathetically modified to
compete in UK club races, however, with a change of engine capacity
and ancillaries, front brakes, and gearbox, the car could once again be
made FIA eligible.
Safety equipment includes a period style roll hoop with a diagonal
brace and door bar, boot-mounted foam filled alloy fuel tank, race seat,
harness, fire extinguisher, and electrical cut-offs. We advise interested
purchasers to inspect these items to ensure they are within date.
A fantastic and competitive racer, eligible for the majority of the best
50’s and 60’s sports car events. A superb opportunity to dip your toe
in competitive historic racing and at a competitive price.

Estimate (£): 70,000 - 80,000
The Lotus Cortina came into being because of Ford’s decision to
step up their motorsport involvement in the early 1960s. Ford’s
Walter Hayes spoke to Colin Chapman, asking him to come up with a
competitive saloon, using the Cortina as a base, that could be produced
in sufficient numbers to satisfy the mandatory ‘Group 2’ homologation
requirements, and with which the Blue Oval could beat all comers. The
solution was to take Ford’s bullet-proof 1500 Kent engine, fit it with a
twin-cam cylinder head, pop it into a stiffened Cortina shell, sort out
the suspension and brakes and paint a green stripe down the side. The
cars would be built by Lotus at its plant in Cheshunt, and marketed
as the Ford Cortina Lotus. Once fully developed, Lotus-Cortinas
absolutely shone on track driven by household names including Jim
Clark, Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill, Jackie Ickx, Roger Clark and many,
many more. Unlike many others racing today, this car has genuine
period racing history and throughout its 52 years has benefited from
constant development.
The complete history of this competitive FIA Lotus Cortina is recorded
from 21-2-1964 when it was first registered in Vercelli, Italy, to racer
Giancarlo ‘Mici’ Giordano. The Lotus was sold in 1967 to its second
owner, Sergio Piana, who was also a capable racer, as was its third,
Mario Fren, who acquired the car in 1968 and was to keep it for a
further twenty-two years.
From 2000 to 2011 the car was owned by a fastidious BRDC member
who was responsible for its maintenance and preparation, and his
intelligent development resulted in the car becoming a recognised
front-runner and race winner during his ownership. This level of
competitiveness was particularly well respected as it was not achieved
at the expense of originality. Since 2011, this car has been raced only a
handful of times by our vendor, who is also a highly experienced racer,
and most notably during his ownership this car was leading for a large
proportion of the Silverstone Classic U2TC race in 2013.
The car is currently fitted with an engine built by the well-respected
John Smurthwaite, and we are informed this unit has had only
two hours running since new. Our vendor has also added under his
ownership a DC electronics supplied, lightweight competition electric
power steering (motor/gearbox, ecu, wiring loom) which was bought
at a price of £9,000 not long ago. This equipment is a bolted on to the
steering column and can easily be removed.
What’s also fantastic about this car is that our vendor has gone to
great lengths to create the sort of all round package needed to go
racing effectively. Generously included with the car, are a zero-hours
John Smurthwaite spare engine (normal retail £24K), a spare gearbox
built with new internals (£7,500) and a pair of differentials (£3,500
each). Two new sets of Magnesium wheels (at a cost of £1,000 each)
and a number of smaller spares enhance this historic racing package,
and at a guide price of £70-£80k for the lot, is an opportunity not to
be missed.
This is a fabulous and rare example of an FIA Lotus Cortina with
enviable provenance and decades of period history. The car is eligible
for a variety of Touring Car Series throughout Europe, including the
U2TC and Masters, and considering the content of the overall package
with the spare units, represents remarkable value for money.

The Austin A30 ‘Speedwell’ was raced successfully, in period, by twice
Formula One World Champion, the late and legendary Graham Hill.
This car was built under the guidance of Goodwood saloon expert Rae
Davis as a nod to that original car, replicating both the colour scheme
and look of the original as well as the results on track. This immaculate
and special car was built from a lightweight seam-welded shell and
features a T45 welded-in FIA roll cage, special front springs and roll bar
with Armstrong adjustable Lever shock absorbers by Pete Cauldwell of
Worldwide Imports. The rear features special springs with an ‘A’ frame
anti-tramp bar and adjustable Lever shock absorbers as well as EN40
steel half shafts, double bearing hubs and a limited slip differential.
The new ‘lightweight’ interior features a period Stack dashboard and
instruments, with belts and seat all in date.
The unique engine is prepared and hand built by none other than Neil
Brown of Neil Brown Engineering, the man responsible for the build
and development of the Works Honda engines in the current BTCC
incorporating new parts from MED and Swiftune.
Owned and more recently raced by the legendary Gordon Shedden,
twice British Touring Car Champion and all round nice guy, ‘Flash’
has too many commitments in 2016 to race this particular car, which
now represents a unique opportunity to acquire a famous and very
successful Goodwood friendly saloon. Run and prepared by the famous
Neal family owned ‘Team Dynamics’, who are responsible for the
running of the Honda Works cars in the current BTCC. The car is ‘on
the button’ and offered absolutely ready to race and win, and is eligible
for numerous series - such as the HRDC series for 1950’s cars, and is
also a highly likely invitee for the next 1950’s St. Mary’s Trophy grid at
the Goodwood Revival.
Uniquely, the new owner will also benefit from a test day ‘handover’ if
required from Team Dynamics and Flash himself.

Ralph Broad was a Birmingham-born racing driver and more famously
an exceptional engineer. His company, Broadspeed, was part of a huge
industry that grew up around the British Motor Corporation (BMC)
Mini in the 1960s. Throughout the sixties, the Broadspeed cars were
very successful in European saloon car events and the British Saloon
Car Championship, winning their class at Monza, Spa, and Zandvoort
with their Cooper ‘S’ in 1965. In the same year, John Fitzpatrick won the
British Saloon Car title in a Broadspeed Ford Anglia. The partnership
with BMC was ended on a friendly basis when Broadspeed’s allegiance
moved to Ford, however, successes continued with the Ford Escort and
in 1971 John Fitzpatrick won four rounds of the BTCC.
Offered here is a replica Broadspeed Escort RS1600 BDA from that
period,builtbyex-JaguarandFordraceengineerDavidSilcox.Itenjoyed
considerable success driven in New Zealand by Dave Crowther before
being acquired by our vendor in 2009. Preparation and engineering
input were then entrusted to Mass Racing and a dyno sheet shows
the Ford Cosworth BDG with Lucas fuel injection producing 271 bhp
at 8500rpm.
The all-alloy 1975cc BDG with Broadspeed-correct, exceedingly rare,
Lucas mechanical slide throttle injection and steel cranked engine is
mated to a five-speed close ratio gearbox. The rear axle is a Watts
linkage/Panhard rod set-up with a limited slip differential. All the
pick-up points are heavy duty with Koni coil-overs all round.The rack
and pinion steering is unique with the rack passing through the front
cross member, and discs are fitted all round which are bias adjustable.
Weight is kept to the minimum with a fibreglass bonnet, boot, and
doors and the rear screen and side windows are Lexan. The bubble
wheel arch extensions are steel.
We are informed by the owner that the Historic Technical Passport has
recently been renewed and the Escort is mechanically ‘’race ready’’.
We advise any interested parties to satisfy themselves on the validity
dates of the safety equipment. In the hands of our vendor, this well-
prepared car has enjoyed outings at the Algarve, Donington, and
Masters Historic Festivals. This superb, period correct, 1600 BDA
Escort is potentially eligible to compete is some of the finest historic
events in the race calendar. With this level of preparation it surely
represents exceptional value and is probably one the most rewarding
historic saloon car racers on the market today.

UK saloon car racing in the 1960s was epitomised by the battles between
the American V8s and the British Lotus Ford Cortinas, Austin Minis and
Hillman Imps. They were driven, in this early period of the BTCC, by Grand
Prix stars of the day such as Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart and Sir Stirling
Moss, as well as saloon car specialists like Frank Gardener, Brian Muir,
Roy Pierpoint, Warwick Banks and John Fitzpatrick. It was an exciting and
evocative period of motor sport and the crowds enjoyed the closeness of the
racing brought about by the contrasting abilities of the nimble Cortinas and
Minis and the straight line speed of the V8s.
Presented here is a 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback ‘Shelby Replica’ that has
been purpose built to Appendix K FIA specification for Period F - 1962 to
1965. Purchased by our vendor as a road car in 2014, all the rot was cut out
and the bodyshell sorted ready to accept a Custom Cages roll-cage that was
welded into place, before a bare-metal respray in Wimbledon White with
the customary blue stripe.
This car is fitted with a 289ci 4.8-litre V8 engine with new cylinder heads
from Modus Engine Services, mated to a 4-speed manual ‘Top loader’ with
a Hurst shifter. The interior houses two new Cobra Monaco buckets seats,
Sparco 5-point harnesses and a mandatory plumbed in fire extinguisher.
Potential buyers should satisfy themselves as to the legality and currency of
all the safety equipment in this car. The car was finished and race prepared
by well-known specialist Steve Curl, and now looks stunning. Having not
completed a race as yet, this car has it all to prove and comes supplied with
a UK V5c and current FIA HTP papers valid until 2026.
This iconic car is eligible for many historic championship events such as
the FIA Pre-66 GT Championship, Masters Series or the fantastic Spa 6
Hours. The fact that it’s road registered opens up the possibility of using
this dramatic car for tours and road rallies, hence the passenger seat. It’s a
professionally built, full-race, FIA Mustang in the right colour scheme at a
very sensible guide. An opportunity not to be missed.

In the year 2000, on the back of a (rumoured) £12m budget from Ford,
Banbury based legendary race and rally experts, Prodrive, built 3 Super
Tourers to contest the 2000 British Touring Car Championship. With
factory drivers Alain Menu, Anthony Reid and Rickard Rydell they went
on to dominate the championship completely, winning most of the
rounds and finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the 2000 British Touring Car
Championship final standings. At a supposed cost of £1m each car (and
£3m running budget per car) the team dominated like no other before
or since. One car was written off during the season, so only 3 of the
4 cars ever built survive today. The ‘Menu’ Championship winning car
features in the Banbury Prodrive museum, the ‘Reid’ car is campaigned
enthusiastically by noted Ford collector/driver Alvin Powell and this is
the only other car (chassis: # Prodrive 004), as driven that season by
Rickard Rydell.
Bought by the highly enthusiastic current privateer owner from us in
2014, the car has since been campaigned successfully by him over the
past 2 seasons in mainstream historic touring car races, including an
outright win at the highly prestigious 2014 Super Touring Race at the
Silverstone Classic, driven by ex-World Touring Car Champion - Rob
Huff - and is a more than welcome entrant into the current great series
for period Super Tourers run by Jonny Westbrook and Dave Jarman.
The car is ‘on the button’ and ready to race and has been maintained
by a professional team, regardless of cost, during current ownership.
The latest bill, from highly respected Mardi Gras Motorsport, confirms
a complete engine rebuild and the fitting of power steering and new
MOTEC engine management (with EPAS system) in June 2015 at a
cost of £38,491. The car presents exceptionally well today, following
its recent demo run at the 2016 Goodwood Members meeting and is a
unique opportunity to own a highly collectable car with a very significant
Works history.
But this is not just an opportunity to buy a highly useable race car -
this a full ‘Equipe’ - offered with the following ‘Works’ spares and parts
required to run it:
3xlh doors, 3xrh doors, 3xlh front wings, 3xrh front wings, 3x bonnets,
3x front bumpers, left-hand rear quarter and a right hand rear quarter,
5x light brackets, 2x carbon splitters, rear light, carbon fibre front vent,
2x carbon air intakes, 2xlh and 2xrh headlights, 4x rear discs and bells,
4xfront discs and bells, 4x front wishbones, 30 separate gear ratios,

centre dashboard, seat, front and rear bumper mount, air-jack stops,

When Porsche introduced their 911 model in 1963 the sports car
market throughout the world was taken aback by its great looks,
light weight, advanced engineering and outstanding performance
and handling. The early cars featured a short wheelbase chassis and
a smooth ‘flat 6 Boxer’ engine, of 2.0-litre capacity, that gave the car
excellent performance. This was enhanced at the end of ‘65/early ‘66
by the introduction of the ‘S’ variant which gave 158BHP, as well as
larger brakes, Fuchs alloy wheels and a close ratio 5-speed gearbox.
This particular car is a 1965/1966 short wheelbase version of the 911
2.0 litre, that has great provenance having been previously owned by
noted driver, Alain Schlesinger. He had the car originally prepared for
competition by Jacques Bourgoin and subsequently run and maintained
by Courage Motorsport in France. Subsequently, it has been driven by
some outstanding French drivers in historic racing, including Jacques
Laffite, Gerard Larousse, Bernard Darniche and Jean-Claude Andruet.
More recently its highly experienced UK vendor has raced it on
Tour Britannia and in several UK historic races with professional
maintenance throughout. The engine is a low mileage 2.0 litre Courage
prepared unit running on Weber carburettors coupled to a smooth
‘901’ type dog-leg 5-speed gearbox and lsd. The car has a recent
multipoint cage and a 100 litre ATL bag tank, both fitted in 2012, and
both FFSA and FIA HTP papers which are currently being updated. The
car weighs just 1002 Kgs and is competitive in its class.
The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirms that the car was
actually built in May ‘66, although it runs to ‘65 spec for FIA purposes.
These rare early short wheelbase 911s are very desirable for use in
competition now, including at Goodwood, and this is an excellent and
well-prepared example.

This particular V8 was built by Bamford Rose in March 2015 as a
racing car to comply with the technical regulations governing The
Aston Martin V8 Vantage Cup (class V2) run by Aston Club Racing,
forming part of a race series competing with works prepared/Prodrive
GT4 cars. The car was developed from a 2007 V8 road car that had
sustained a bit of damage (Cat D) in a road accident.
The engine is 4.7litre full race GT4 engine built by Adrian Miller of
Bamford Rose and is reported to produce 485 BHP. To achieve that
output, Bamford Rose tuned equal length exhaust manifolds; 200
cell catalysts along with using ITG air filters and 3-way exhaust
control switch to meet track DB noise restrictions. For the driveline,
a lightweight flywheel has been used with a twin-plate sintered clutch
along with a fully rebuilt and ‘superpolished’ gearbox with all the seals
renewed. In terms oh handling and set-up, electromagnetic switchable
dampers with a cockpit switch for dry/wet conditions have been fitted
along with a much ‘beefier’ rear anti-roll bar. GT4 spec front uprights
are preferred with front and rear rose-jointing along with an adjustable
rear toe link.
Retardation is entrusted to V12 Vantage front and rear brakes (6 pot
front and 4 pot rear). Two sets of black painted 19-inch race wheels
shod with 255/40/19 (f) and 285/35/19 (r) Pirelli ‘P Zeros’ plus one
set of unused Kumho quali / test day tyres are included in the sale.
The interior has also been professionally stripped and trimmed by
Bamford Rose. They started by removing the airbags and added new
Sparco race seats with 5-point harnesses. An FIA /GT4 roll cage was
fitted along with a state of the art fire extinguisher system, battery
cut off switches and a lightweight heavy duty race battery. The pedals
were re-positioned, the steering lock was removed and a detachable
GT4 steering wheel was preferred.
The Carbon centre console now houses switchgear and the dash itself
was re-trimmed in non-reflective Alcantara. There is a forward-facing
camcorder mounted on the roll cage, electric windows are retained for
ventilation and the standard door locks are also kept, but the central
locking system has been removed along with the alarm. The DSC/ABS/
Traction control has also been retained but has been de-sensitised and
re-programmed for circuit driving.
The front and rear of the chassis were stiffened with significant weight
removal, particularly in the rear, and an easy-up manual jacking system
was added. The body panels are all lightweight parts used from V12
Vantage road cars and GT4 spec parts such as the ‘diveplanes’ and an
adjustable rear wing help keep the car stable in high-speed corners. As
if this stunning car’s dramatic looks were not enough, it’s been finished
in head-turning Pearlescent Aston Racing Green with Red and Black
accents and White Aston Club Racing square number cards on doors
and bonnet.
As a result of all this work this track weapon partnered with a
prestigious badge weighs 1470kg, offers genuine performance and is
also in possession of a UK V5C meaning that, should you so wish, you
could drive it to the pub!!
All mechanical, and other replacement parts and components have
less than six hours running time since this car was converted in March
2015. This is a fantastic all round package enabling its new owner to
enjoy track days and the club racing scene whilst looking ‘pretty damn
cool’ in the process.

The 2-Eleven is the most ‘track-focused’ road car Lotus has ever built
and the emphasis is on the ‘road car’ bit because despite the wings,
splitters, launch control, and racing stripes the Lotus 2-Eleven can be
driven to the shops.
It’s a lightweight track car. It has no doors, no roof and no concessions to
comfort. You can’t drive it on the road without a crash helmet, well you
could if you like the taste of flying insects, and you don’t really want to
be venturing too far from home if there’s rain in the air. However, when
the sun is shining and you’re faced with a long ribbon of empty tarmac
(country road or local circuit) the Lotus 2-Eleven is just the business.
It’s all about weight or the lack of it. Overall, the 2-Eleven tips the scales
at 670kg, around 200kg lighter than the Elise ‘S’ (not a heavy car), but
packs a whopping 118 more horses from its 252.bhp, supercharged,
four-cylinder 16-valve Toyota engine.
The 13-piece fibreglass bodywork is constructed with a material called
‘Coremat’ that is pretty much the strongest non-woven (i.e. non-
carbonfibre) material available. It’s also cheaper and easier to produce
and the 2-Eleven’s suit of clothes weighs just 38kg.
Underneath, the Lotus 2-Eleven’s underpinnings are a combination of
the original high-sill (and therefore stiffer) Elise chassis and the latest
rear subframe, accommodating the transverse mid-mounted Toyota
engine. The result is a guided missile that can sprint to 60mph in 3.8
seconds, 100mph in 8.9 seconds and reach 150mph.
The 2008 Lotus 2-Eleven here has been enjoyed by one owner and
covered just 4,000 miles including a few track-days. The car was
completely stripped in 2012 and rebuilt to GT4 spec., including a
factory 270ps upgrade, Torsen LSD, Kaz gearbox, full FIA roll cage,
single seat fibreglass cover panel, Moroso sump etc. It has just been
repainted in Ecurie Ecosse Blue and is in exceptional condition.
If picking up the children from school is not part of you daily vehicular
requirements, then this focussed little Lotus could be the most fun you
have ever had with your clothes on!

Engine Number: Not Specified
Estimate (£): 32,000 - 38,000
The Datsun 240Z, (latterly the 260Z and 280Z) was the first
generation of ‘Z’ two-seat coupés produced by Nissan in Japan from
1969 to 1978. Its dramatic looks owed a considerable amount to a
1960’s 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 early cars were powered by a lusty 2.4 litre, straight six, overhead
cam engine, developing around 150bhp resulting in a 0-60 time of 8
seconds, and a top speed of 125mph. A five-speed manual gearbox
was 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
240Z was a thoroughly modern package.
The car complies fully with ‘MSA Stage Rally’ regulations. The body
shell has been reinforced with additional heavy-duty chassis legs,
added gussets, and has been double seam-welded to ensure it’s as
strong as it can be.
Mostly steel, the bodywork is finished in the correct shade of Red with
Matt Black and is enhanced by a ‘Works’ style GRP bonnet, tailgate and
‘drop’ front bumper.
The power train consists of a freshly rebuilt 2.9ltr engine producing
approximately 240bhp, fitted with a ‘Nismo’ spec rally camshaft, a
lightened flywheel, triple Weber 45DOCE carburetors on a Mangoletsi
inlet manifold, and a Nismo exhaust manifold with a Tony Law
competition exhaust. A 6mm Dural sump guard protects the engine
and gearbox, and the fuel tank is protected by a 4mm version of the
same.
All this power is transmitted to the back wheels through a heavy duty
clutch, a close-ratio five-speed gearbox and an R200 4.3 ratio, plate-
type limited slip differential.
Currently sitting on 6J ‘Minilite’ alloy wheels and Kumho gravel tyres,
the running gear includes a quick-ratio ‘Star Motorsport’ steering rack,
Bilstein adjustable MacPherson struts, and reinforced wishbones.
Braking is handled by 4-pot alloy brake calipers all round, fitted with
Mintex M1155 pads squeezing vented discs up front with solid discs at
the rear. The brakes are connected via Aeroquip hoses to an adjustable
bias bar and a hydraulic handbrake.
This potent machine is fully furnished in rally trim with ‘Motordrive’
rally seats, four-point ‘Sabelt’ harnesses, and a custom designed ‘rally’
dashboard fitted with a Brantz Tripmaster.
UK registered and presented with a recent MoT and current MSA
Historic Vehicle Identity papers, this car is a superb example and
perfect for both accomplished and novice rally drivers.
Built by one of the best preparers in the business and seldom used, it
simply would not be possible to build a car to such a high specification
for this price.

Offered for sale is a very exciting, rare and unusual car in the UK and a
first for Silverstone Auctions! A 2007 Ford Fusion Nextel Cup Nascar,
built, owned and driven by the legendary driver Robby Gordon. An
awesome car that gets the attention of everyone who sees it. The
exterior of the car looks like a genuine retired race car, with the odd
battle scar adding to the authentic look of a car used in anger in the
white-hot pace that is American Nascar.
Fitted with a small block engine that has been professionally built by
Menards Racing Development, with expensive performance parts such
as the Wilson intake manifold, this car also retains its very expensive
twin ignition boxes and sounds incredible. It’s enough to make the hairs
on the back of your neck stand up and grown men cry! At the end of a
racing season these cars are typically sold off to the American public
as ‘bare bones’ cars, however, this car managed to escape that fate
and many of the expensive and crucial parts remained with the car
making this a very exciting proposition for anyone wishing to purchase
this racer.
Prior to being imported here, the car was taken to a Nascar workshop in
the USA specialising in the race preparation of Nascars for gentlemen
drivers and overall the car checked out very well. The specialists
stated there were no signs of any accident damage, with the chassis
appearing to be all straight and correct. In fact, the car received high
praise from the shop owner who is a perfectionist and typically critical
of most cars that pass through his works!
Since being in the UK the car has formed part of a private collection
which includes many exciting vehicles including a collection of race
Ferraris, however, the vendor informs us that no other car in his
collection creates the excitement and interest as this Nascar, a car he
loves and is reluctantly being sold to slim down his collection. A very
rare opportunity to add one of the most exotic and unusual race cars
in the UK to your garage and to become the envy of your friends and
colleagues. You can now finally pretend to be Cole Trickle in your own

Estimate (£): 55,000 - 65,000
Although a Formula One constructor from 1985-89, Zakspeed is better
known for its FIA Group 2 Escorts and its Group 5 Capris. They did,
however, enter seventy-four Grand Prix and were unique at one stage
producing an F1 car with their own chassis and engine; only Ferrari had
the same in-house facility. Founded by Erich Zakowski in 1968, they
were actively involved in many forms of motorsport and employed
many well-known drivers - Klaus Ludwig, Manfred Winkelhock,
Jonathan Palmer, Martin Brundle and Bernd Schneider all drove
Zakspeeds from F1 to Touring Cars.
Built and prepared by Mark Wright Motorsport, this FIA Escort BDG is
well regarded and accepted as a fully developed front running historic
racer. It is engineered and finished to a very high standard in its re-
created form as the famous Europa-Mobel Zakspeed Escort with full
MSA and HTP papers.
The specification includes an all-alloy Ford 2.0 BDG with custom
profile cams, full race-spec head, steel bottom end, dry sump, Weber
50 carburettors, tubular manifold and a race exhaust system. Built by
Tracksport, the gearbox is a five-speed Type 9 incorporating special
roller bearings and straight cut gears and the rear axle has a special
fully floating 4.4 gripper type differential. The front suspension is fully
rose-jointed with coil-over damping, alloy hubs and adjustable top
mounts. The rear suspension is a four linkage set up ‘A’ frame with top
links and inboard coil-overs. It has ‘Monte Carlo’ discs all round with
a biased pedal box and the car sits on split rim 15’’ Compomotives,
10”inch fronts and 13’’ rears, wearing Avon slicks. It’s fitted with a new
moulded front spoiler and the car is supplied with a spare and the
original mould to deal with the inevitable. The rebuild, in preparation
for the 2016 season has now been completed and included the engine,
alloy gearbox, back axle and the shock-absorbers. The seat, belts
and fire extinguisher are all in-date and ready for the season, and the
vendor is happy to provide detailed engineering information and offer
advice on set-ups.
This Escort holds numerous lap records, fastest laps and has been
piloted to a number of overall race wins powered by its very reliable,
John Smirthwaite built, 265bhp Ford BDG. The car is a Masters
Historic Grp2 Championship winner, HSCC Supertourers class winner
and finished a very close third in the closed wheel HSCC support race
to the Spa 6 Hours last year.
This is possibly the fastest Group 2 Escort available today, and having
just had a 2016 ‘turn key’ refresh, this proven racer represents a great
opportunity, for a realistic budget, to clamber onto the top step of the
podium at a number of prestigious Historic Saloon Car events.
Our generous vendor has included in this package a Motor Racing
Legends Historic Touring Car Challenge entry into this year’s
Silverstone Classic race. The car will come to the auction prepped for
the race and if, for whatever reason it doesn’t sell, he will compete it
himself in that race which is run out of the paddock directly below the
auction hall. So for any potential buyer out there you can buy a rapid
Group 2 Escort on the Thursday night and race the car on Friday at one
of the world’s largest historic motorsport festivals….

Estimate (£): 100,000 - 120,000
Having finished 9th in 1984 in the Formula One Championship Table and
8th in 1985, Arrows Grand Prix International had high hopes for 1986
with their new A9 car and its BMW M12 turbo. It wasn’t to be however,
and sadly the team ended the year pointless. For 1987, BMW decided
they “wanted their ball back” and pulled the plug, leaving Arrows with
the promising new A10 but no engine and no money.
However, Arrows team boss, ex Lotus F1 driver and legendary
negotiator, Jackie Oliver, managed to squeeze some support from their
primary sponsor USF&G. BMW then agreed to continue to supply
engines as long as they were assembled by, and branded as, Megatron.
With additional strokes of genius, he brought in Ross Brawn to head
up the design team and recruited the highly talented new driver pairing
of Derek Warwick and Eddie Cheever. They had driven together as
part of the successful Silk Cut Jaguar Endurance Team and were both
race winners as well as being notable for being able to provide good
engineering feedback.
This ‘dream team’ combination of engine, designer and new drivers saw
the Arrows team collect 11 points in the Arrows A10 and finish seventh
(out of 16) in the World Championship in 1987 and fifth in 1988.
Silverstone Auctions are pleased to offer for sale the BMW Arrows
Megatron, chassis A10-3 that was driven by BRDC President, and all
round great guy - Derek Warwick - in 1987.
The car was purchased by the current owner in 2002 and stored for
approximately four years, however, a number of opportunities became
available for the car to be displayed and driven at events, so the decision
was taken to bring it out of storage and prepare it to return to the
circuits. It has since been driven at no more than two events each year
with a total of 1-2 hours driving time.
Recently, the car has been looked after by the very well respected Roger
Heavens Motorsport and has benefitted from a partial engine rebuild
early in 2016, an extended roll hoop, and the wishbones have been crack
tested. The car will have a simplified starting procedure by the time it
is offered for sale, and will be supplied with a small number of spares.
At the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed in June 2016, the Arrows
A10-3 demonstrated that it still has what it takes when it was driven by
the delightful Lorina McLaughlin, who was the fastest lady up the hill.

Porsche had ambitions to return to Le Mans in 1980 with the intention
of running in Group 4 (Sports Cars) and decided to base the new
competition car on their successful 924 mainstream model. Naturally,
in order to withstand the rigours of 24 hours around Le Sarthe, the
full-race cars would have to be substantially different from their
‘shopping’ siblings. Firstly, however, Porsche had to comply with the FIA
Homologation Regulations dealing with the construction and quantities
produced of a relevant road-car on which the ‘racer’ was to be based.
Earlier, in 1979, Porsche had produced a styling exercise exploring
possible design elements for future road cars, and this was made public
at the Frankfurt Motor Show that year. One of these design submissions
involved a much more masculine and aggressive look applied to the 924
and this was well received and later, became a major influence on the
shape of the new 944.
However, in the meantime, it was decided to apply some aspects of the
Frankfurt styling exercise to the existing 924 and the result was the 924
Carrera GT (labelled 937 and 938-rhd). As well as the more dramatic
bodywork, all non-essential elements were removed from the car in an
effort to reduce weight. Standard specification included a close ratio,
dog-leg, 5-speed gearbox, LSD, Bilstein shock absorbers, polyurethane
front and rear flared guards, a polyurethane front spoiler, and a bonnet
mounted air scoop for the intercooler. With a 2-litre turbocharged
engine producing 210 bhp, it will reach a top speed of 150 mph and hits
60 mph in an impressive 6.5 seconds. Porsche made 406 of the 924
Carrera GTs in 1981, including six prototypes.
A step up from the GT was the GTS, of which 59 were made in the
Stuttgart factory. These were more powerful than the standard Carrera
GT, thanks largely to increased boost. The GTS models are distinguished
by perspex headlamp covers replacing the pop-up headlights on the GT,

and an intercooler in front of the engine rather than on top of it. 15 of
the 59 were ‘Club Sport’ cars, featuring a roll cage, more power, and less
weight than the regular GTS.
However, the ultimate 924 in competition terms was undoubtedly the
GTR, some of which were available to private customers at a cost of
$75,000. Porsche built just 17 examples, of which nine either raced in
or qualified at Le Mans. Other examples of the 17 GTRs were raced in
Europe, the US and Japan, with one notable exception, this particular
car!
The GTR benefitted from Porsche’s constant factory development.
The intercooler was relocated to the front, as with the GTS, but was
much larger, filling much of the nose of the car, and the cars were
delivered from Porsche with fully integrated roll cages, fully adjustable
suspension, and four-piston 935 brake calipers squeezing larger 31cm
discs. The engine was a highly modified version of the 2.0litre motor
used in all 924s, featuring dry sump lubrication, which helped it produce
375bhp and 299 lb/ft of torque. The figures were very impressive.
Weighing 930 kilos, the GTR was good for 180mph/ 290kmh (more
when aerodynamically detailed), and 0-60mph took 4.7 seconds.
In 1980, Porsche entered three 924 GTRs at the 24hrs of Le Mans,
finishing 6th, 12th and 13th overall, and went on to achieve an excellent
class win in 1982.
This amazing one owner, 109 kilometres from new, survivor has an even
more incredible story to tell. One of only two cars delivered to Japan
from new (the other example having been used for racing), the car was
brought into the country in 1981 by Porsche importer ‘Garage Italya’.
In 1983, after being stored for 2 years, it was purchased by a Japanese
businessman and classic car enthusiast who wanted to add it to his
private collection.
The car was never raced, but was enjoyed a handful of times on the
track at Suzuka and the Fuji Speedway. On each occasion, our fastidious
Japanese owner made a record of the distance travelled at each track
day. According to his records, the car covered just 109 kilometres in the
first 7 years of his ownership, after which the 924 was carefully stored
in his two-storey garage, safely in the first-floor attic space accessible by
a car lift. The GTR was then removed from storage each year, taken on a
trailer to be serviced, brought back, then placed back in position in the
garage. From 1981 to 2006 the car was serviced by Porsche specialist
‘Tomei Car Service’, then latterly by Porsche specialist ‘Garage Tool Box’.
In the intervening period, the engine was started and run regularly.
Offered with a Japanese title document and records of its minimal
usage and extensive maintenance, this GTR is surely the best available
example of Porsche’s ultimate and rare incarnation of the 924. However,
there is much more to this car than that simple background. It is by far
and away the most original, untouched and completely unmolested
example of any Porsche we have ever seen. It is presented exactly today
as the factory built it, even down to the initials on the stickers on the
engine management box! It is a complete time warp car and a total
one-off investment opportunity, unique in this anniversary year of the
Porsche ‘transaxle cars’ and introduction of the original 924 model.

GT3 racing is fabulous, but running at the ‘front end’ with so many
competitive cars has now become very expensive in terms of the initial
team set up and race by race running costs. Whilst thrilling to drive
and impressive to listen to and look at, the current crop of cars are
becoming ever more complex and costly to run, with life on the major
units such as the engine and gearboxes becoming shorter and the
financial numbers getting bigger. Sadly, these large initial costs may
well result in fewer and fewer people having the privilege to experience
the thrill of racing GT3 cars.
Thankfully, we at Silverstone Auctions can offer attractive solutions to
costly 2016 spec GT3 racing, and this well proven and refined Marcos
GT3 is an ideal example. Offered here with a comprehensive amount
of spares, (detailed below), this package offers potentially outstanding
value considering the amount of kit, and is being offered at a guide
price of £30-£35k. Whilst yes, this is not a current GT3 car, but with
those current spec cars fetching £300K+ before spares and actual
running costs, what better chance for a new team to ‘dip a toe in the
water’ of this ever popular and iconic racing scene.
The grunt comes from a Chevy LS7 developing approximately 600
BHP with a Motec dash and ECU, whilst the gearbox is a Hewland
sequential flat-shift with an Aston Martin DBRS9 differential. The car
sits on Dymag centre-lock wheels and has an Endurance fuel tank with
quick-fill along with endurance spec front lighting – perfect for Dutch
Supercar, GT Cup, Britcar or Belcar. Indeed, this Marcos has been
developed by renowned BRDC member and 2016 Le Mans entrant,
Ollie Bryant, and has previously competed in four Britcar 24 hour races,
resulting in class podiums, along with being the actual car to win the
Marcos challenge series in the late 90’s. This Marcos GT3 package
represents serious value and is a great opportunity to get involved in
‘proper’ motor racing.
Marcos spares:
1 x complete, built up, spare front end with lights.
1 x set of used Dunlop slicks on Dymag rims.

racing career, winning the Campeonato de Italia de Superproducción
in 1999, a recognised race car throughout Europe with great success
throughout its racing life.
Built by Fiat Auto Corse to FIA Super Production regulations in 1998,
this Alfa Romeo 156 was used to good effect by renowned touring
car team Scuderia Bigazzi to win the Campeonato de Italia de
Superproducción with Luis Villamil behind the wheel. Subsequently,
it was imported to the UK by GA Motorsports, the team founded by
works British and Italian Touring Car Champion, Gary Ayles for use in
the British Touring Car Championship. Running in the Super Production
Class under the GA Janspeed banner the car was driven in 2001 by
Gavin Pyper who gathered great pace, eventually finishing 6th in the
championship.
In2002thecarwasenteredforthefullBTCCseasonbyGAMotorsports
for Alan Blencowe who finished 7th in the championship, recording
three podium finishes. 2003 saw the GA Motorsports team once again
enter the car for a limited campaign in the BTCC, where Chris Ryan
scored a victory in the opening round at Mondello Park. Subsequently
sold, the car was run in the Britcar Production championship by
Brunswick Automotive and was raced in the Nurburgring 24 Hour Race
in 2005.
The car is offered in good order with a fresh Brunswick Automotive
built 2.0-litre engine featuring steel crankshaft and rods, JE forged
pistons and a full race cylinder head. The engine is fitted with Jenvey
throttle bodies and runs EFI-Euro 6 engine management together
with Magnetti Marelli data logging, all equating to an output of
approximately 240 bhp. Constructed from a lightweight shell with a
beautifully crafted T45 roll cage, the car is fitted with air jacks, Penske
3-way adjustable dampers, Brembo racing brakes and a Bacci close-
ratio dog engagement gearbox complete with LSD.
This car also benefits from fully adjustable suspension for corner
weight adjustment with custom anti-roll bars both front and rear. The
car is fitted with two forms of brake bias, pedal box and hydraulic,
easily adjusted for different driving styles and circuits. The car also
benefits from an external fast fuel-fill system and is fitted with air jacks
which can be charged from the outside. It has been dry stored as part
of a private collection and has not been raced since 2005, however, it
did undertake a successful one-hour test session in 2015 but has not
been used since except for an occasional run on a private road.
Now eligible for Britcar Production, CSCC Tin Tops, the Alfa Romeo
Championship and even perhaps the Historic Production Super
Touring Car Championships, the new owner would need to apply for
the relevant FIA homologation papers to enjoy the true touring car
experience in this exciting and historic car. This car will require some
recommissioning work, but it would make a very exciting prospect
to add to any Alfa Romeo aficionado’s collection, or to return to the
circuits to be used as its makers intended.

1960FORDANGLIA
Registration: 501 UYR
Chassis Number: 105E115195
Engine Number: Not Specified
Estimate (£): 20,000 - 25,000
In 1962, Ford introduced the Anglia Super to the range with a higher
level of equipment. Engine capacity was increased to 1198cc and it
was now fitted with the all-synchromesh four-speed gearbox from
the Cortina. There was more chrome, a luxury interior and a heater
as standard. Strap on a pair of spot lights and you had a useful rally
car. The engine was capable of being modified to produce much
more power and it became the motive power unit for various forms
of motorsport. The Ford Anglia was entered in the Monte Carlo Rally
from 1960-65 finishing consistently above its station, and today rally
and racing Anglias are still an important and competitive part of
the historic scene and are homologated by the FIA at 997cc, 1198cc
and1340cc.
Offered here is a competition prepared 1960 Ford Anglia with a superb
history. A letter in the file from 11th November 1992 states that the car
was previously owned by a Mr John Charles D. Smith, at which point
it was registered URX 949. The car was eventually passed down to a
Mrs P.G. Griffin, daughter of the first owner, who later sold it to a Mr
Toplis of Nottingham. URX was built up into ‘club rally’ spec and then
sold to well-known Cobra racer John Atkins of Banbury. He persuaded
the DVLA to release the iconic Anglebox registration ‘105E’ made
notorious in the early days of saloon car racing by the infamous ‘Doc’
Merfield. FIA Appendix ‘K’ papers as a 1200 were gained in 2000 and
the car was invited to the Goodwood Revival where it finished 12th
of 22 competitors in the St Mary’s Trophy race that included famous
names like, Smokin’ John Rhodes, Jackie Oliver, Gerry Marshall and
Silverstone Auction’s very own MD Nick Whale. Atkins repeated the
exercise the following year before dismantling the car and selling the
car to Alex Postan who rebuilt it as a 1650cc Anglia in the style of the
Superspeed cars as raced by John Young and Chris Craft.
Alex Postan, himself no stranger to motorsport, rebuilt the car for a
final time with an Autosportif all steel 1650 cc Ford pre-Crossflow
engine, along with a full gearbox rebuild and some other remedial
work at a total cost of over £10,000. The car was dyno tested by
DTW engines and showed a figure of 151 bhp at 7500 rpm. Raced
and rallied in England and on the continent, this car has proved to be
an excellent, multi-discipline, tarmac competition car. To the Historic
Ford aficionado, it has the ultimate specification: all steel 1650cc pre-
crossflow with twin Weber 45 carburettors and A6 camshaft; the
gearbox is a straight-cut, TranX three rail, Rocket ‘box; and the ‘A’ frame
rear axle has a Quaife Torsen differential and three-piece competition
half shafts.
Finished in dark metallic blue with a silver roof, the cockpit houses
two Sparco seats and safety harnesses. There is also a plumbed in fire
extinguisher behind the driver’s seat, hidden neatly underneath the
original rear seats which still remain in situ. Potential buyers should
satisfy themselves as to the legality and currency of all the safety
equipment in this car. More recently this ‘Anglebox’ has only made it
out into the competitive arena a handful of times, the last of which was
at Prescott last year.
This versatile little Anglia is crying out not to be stuck in a garage
in the Cotswolds with a doting custodian, but should be back ‘out
there’ on the circuits with the HSCC, tarmac rallying, Prescott and
Shelsley, or possibly even used as the most fun way to get between
pubs on a Sunday morning! Supplied with two box-files of invoices and
correspondence, workshop manuals, (now expired) FIA papers and a
UK V5c.
Please note the registration number showing in the pictures is being
retained by the vendor.

Engine Number: Not Specified
Estimate (£): 55,000 - 65,000
Starting life on the 23rd June 1966 as a Ford Cortina De Luxe, this car
was bought by our gentleman racer vendor, Eifion Jones in 2013. In
common with many racing Cortinas, the donor car was converted to
full Appendix K Lotus Cortina specification, from a standard Cortina
base car with no expense spared. The engine was built by Competition
Engine Services to FIA Appendix K spec and runs on 45 DCOE Weber
carburettors, producing a very healthy 183 bhp, as confirmed in a copy
of the dyno sheet in the history file. The lightweight shell was acid-
dipped at the start of the process, and all the brackets to convert to ‘A’
frame were fitted, which means it can be easily converted to ‘A’ frame
and coil springs if required.
The shell was seam stitched and the T45 safety cage was welded in.
The doors, bonnet and boot lid are alloy, keeping the weight down
to, what our vendor informs us, is a very competitive 756 kilograms.
A competition clutch was mated to a Quaife close ratio straight cut
gearbox, alloy bellhousing, tail shaft and remote gearchange housing.
The back axle was modified for negative camber and fitted with an alloy
differential housing, containing a 4:7-1 differential and LSD. Specially
made aircraft-quality steel half shafts were added, the front struts were
modified for negative camber and fitted with adjustable Ohlins shocks,
and the rear leaf springs were mated to adjustable Ohlins shocks. The
one-inch anti-roll bar was fitted with increased castor mountings and
the brakes fitted with competition pads and linings, bias pedal box and
adjustable rear brakes.
Our vendor has a lifetime’s experience of racing, from auto grass to
motorbikes, but it was Eifion’s friend and neighbour, former Formula
3000 racing driver, Tim Davies who convinced Eifion to buy a Ford
Cortina and prepare it for circuit racing. With this car, Eifion went on
to win the CTCRC Class Championship two years on the trot, in 2014
and 2015. At the tender age of 68, Eifion has decided to retire from
competition circuit racing and this incredibly “well sorted” race car, is
offered with full FIA Appendix K paperwork, dated 21st April 2015 and
valid to 2025. The car is supplied with a Swansea V5, dyno sheets, FIA
Historic Technical Passport, a spare 4:9-1 differential with fresh LSD
and a set of four magnesium wheels. With a total racing time of some
8 hours, this car is ready for the track and eligible for a whole host of
race classes.

We were informed by the cars original Japanese owners that the shell
was prepared by Fiat Auto Course in Italy from a new, old-stock 155
body shell. Upon completion the car was shipped to Japan, where
the build was finally assembled and fitted with the V6 3ltr 24 valve
engine, endowing the car with a lovely wail at full song and enviable
performance.
During the build process, the car was also fitted with a GTV Cup ECU,
larger Brembo front brakes, carbon bonnet and boot body panels, front
splitter and rear spoiler, CDA air cleaner, Uni Course exhaust system
and finished off with 17-inch Techno Mag wheels.
It appears to have enjoyed some competition outings in Japan and since
being imported to the UK has formed part of a private collection and
not been used in anger on the track. The owner has driven the car on
private roads in the UK and informs us the car feels extremely exciting
to drive, with a wonderful basso V6 howl, reminiscent of those exciting
DTM V6 cars of the period. As with many cars of its ilk, it hasn’t been
used for some time, so will require some light recommissioning before
the lucky new owner ventures out onto the track to relive those exciting
memories of that golden period in Touring Car history.

Registration: Not Specified
Chassis Number: TS8 06
Engine Number: Not Specified
Estimate (£): 30,000 - 35,000
The TS8 was the second Surtees Formula 5000 design and was based
on the team’s Surtees TS7 Formula 1 car. It sold well to privateers and
won races in Mike Hailwood’s hands, but engine problems prevented
him topping the table in the 1971 British series. Built on the same jigs
as the TS7, it had the same suspension, wheels and brakes but used a
Hewland DG300 gearbox and the wheelbase was some three inches
longer due to the longer bell housing. Like the Cosworth DFV in their
F1 car, the Chevy V8 was fully stressed, but the mountings for the rear
radius rods were repositioned on the rear bulkhead.
This Surtees, ‘TS8/006’, is one of two cars originally owned by Doug
Champlin and Fred Carillo of Champ Carr (Capistrano, CA). These
cars were run for Sam Posey in the US in 1971 and Rocky Moran in
1972. In 1971, Sam Posey steered this car to second place overall in
the Formula 5000 championship finishing just behind David Hobbs’
McLaren. Raced again in the US until 1975 ‘TS8/006’ is then believed
to have been owned by Chuck Haines (Can-Am Cars) who kept the
car for a number of years but then advertised it for sale in the late ‘90s
as a ‘project’, with the car having been completely stripped whilst in
his ownership. John Bladon was the lucky purchaser sometime around
early 2001. John set about restoring the car, crack testing a number of
components, and getting the car ‘race ready’. However, just before the
car was completely finished, John was persuaded to sell ‘006’ to our
vendor in early 2006. He immediately finished the project to a very
high standard, applied and received FIA papers and put in an entry
for the Grand Prix Masters at Spa, which was to be the car’s first race
in over 30 years. Since that race in 2006, the car has been securely
stored and is started up on a regular basis. These Surtees F5000 cars
were some of the best-looking single seaters of the decade and offered
here with a sensible and competitive guide price of £30-£35k, this
is a great opportunity to acquire a rare and very fast 70’s F5000 car
eligible for a number of championships in the UK and all over the world.

Estimate (£): 30,000 - 40,000
The Austin A40 has played a very significant role in British saloon
car racing over the years, starting most notably when Doc Shepherd
secured the British Saloon Car Championship in 1960 with an example.
Two models were used for motorsport purposes, including the MarkII
Farina.
With numerous race wins, podiums, fastest laps and pole positions
to its name, ‘GFO 117’ is one of the most recognisable cars in British
historic motorsport. It’s been a Goodwood Revival favourite for more
than a decade where it has finished on the podium of the St Mary’s
Trophy races on a number of occasions. Highlights of its recent career
include three class wins, along with an overall victory in 2007 and three
overall wins in 2008, including one at Spa-Francorchamps. A dominant
six wins followed in 2009, followed by a 3rd at Goodwood in 2010.
The car continued to set the pace in 2011 with a pole position at the
Snetterton HRDC event, followed by a 3rd at the Castle Combe race.
The car has been driven by a host of celebrated motorsport figures
including Perry McCarthy and David Hobbs. ‘GFO 117’ was recently
the subject of a double-page feature in Autosport magazine, a copy
of which is available, as well as a complete set of qualifying and race
results from the last seven years.
The car has a fully seam-welded and lightened body shell with a full
roll cage designed and built by Caged Laser Engineering. The car also
boasts a close ratio Leyland Special Tuning gearbox, Salisbury type LSD
4.5 ratio, strengthened half shafts, Lifeline fire extinguisher, Recaro
seat, 6-point race safety harness, aluminium foam filled fuel tank,
Elliot tacho & Racetech instruments, lightened bumpers, Weller race
wheels, MG Midget front disc brakes and calipers, negative camber
front suspension trunnions, ‘Slipper’ adjustable rear springs, adjustable
rear arm dampers, uprated front dampers and one inch front anti-roll
bars. Potential buyers should satisfy themselves as to the legality and
currency of all the safety equipment in this car. ‘GFO 117’ is painted in
Speedwell Blue, with an Old English White interior.
Our vendor purchased the car from Silverstone Auctions at The Classic
Sale in 2013 and had well respected historic motorsport preparation
company, Rae Davis Racing, complete a full rebuild at the cost of
£15,000 for which there are supporting invoices in the history file. At
the same time, the 1293cc A-Series engine was rebuilt by Nick Swift
costing a further £8,000, and it has only completed one race distance
since.
The car is offered with a comprehensive package of spares, including
a Quaife gearbox, bodywork, Mk1 shell, two Quaife half-shafts, spare
standard radiator, spare LSD, spare starter & alternator, front and rear
springs and spare wheels & tyres. This characterful little A40 would
be welcome at any circuit, and is ideal for anyone looking to get into

This March 733, Formula 3 car was ordered new at the 1973 Racing Car
Show in January by Chris Andrews of Baty Ltd. and was affectionately
known thereafter as the ‘’Baty March’’ It was then run by Chris
Marshall of Sloan Marshall Garages for the late, and exceedingly
talented, Ian Taylor. Pre-season testing resulted in the March being re-
tubbed (no.26) after an accident at Snetterton. Ian Taylor competed
in all major F3 Championships in 1973 winning the Forward Trust
Championship outright in a field that reads like a ‘Who’s Who’ of
aspiring single seater drivers. He also finished fifth in the John Player
and sixth in the Lombard North Central Championships. The history
file lists all the subsequent owners and championships in which it
competed up until 1998 when it was retired. Purchased by our vendor in
2009 with the Monaco Historic Festival in mind, the following year the
car was completely rebuilt. He entered the Superprix at Brands Hatch
in 2009 and won his class. In 2010 he entered the F3 at Monaco again
winning his class and mixing it with the 2-litre cars. He has now chosen
to retire from racing, so consequently this fabulous March 733/26
Holbay has come to the market just three races after a full rebuild.
There is a reasonable quantity of (mostly) new or unused spares with
the car including two sets of wheels, suspension components, various
gear ratios and a radiator frame.
This pretty, championship winning, Formula 3 with Ian Taylor
provenance, at today’s guide is simply irresistible.

exciting and fast track day car for the discerning enthusiast, or simply
an interesting addition to any gentleman’s collection at the modest

finished to (exactly) the same specification, making it one of the most
competitive, high profile ‘one make’ series in the world today.
The ‘997’ version of the Porsche 911 GT3 was used by the Carrera
Cup Championship from 2006 onwards. Costing £120,000 when
new, it featured an improved package all round with over 420bhp
now available, coupled to a Hollinger sequential 6-speed gearbox. The
racing was close and the series blossomed both in the UK and Europe.
This is a 2012 ‘Gen II’ version of the 997 cup car which was the
‘ultimate’ and final spec of that particular model before the 991 version
was introduced a few years later. This particular car was campaigned
in mainland Europe throughout most of its life and was bought by our

The TR3 was produced by the Standard-Triumph Motor Company from
1955 until 1957 and was the first British production car to have front disc
brakes as standard. It was powered by the ubiquitous Standard 1991cc
four-cylinder engine that now produced 100 bhp and the four-speed
gearbox was available with optional overdrive which was electrically
operated. Performance was more than adequate considering the basic
cost of below a thousand pounds, with top speed just over a 100mph
and 0-60 a spirited 10.8 seconds. Only one tenth of the production of
over thirteen thousand remained in the UK as the TR3 sold very well
in the USA and was a motorsport ‘stalwart’ in the Sports Car Club of
America.
This is a well known TR3A full-race car which has successfully
competed in various race championships over many decades,
including Thoroughbreds, Swinging 60s, TR Register, HSCC, Top Hat
and Masters series. Powered by a 2198cc full steel engine lightened
and balanced, 89mm forged pistons, steel crank, ‘Carillo’ rods, tubular
exhaust manifold, and a lightweight steel flywheel. Fuelled by twin 45
DCOE Webers it revs to 7,600rpm, and we’re informed produces circa
170bhp at the rear wheels. The engine has just had a refresh ready for
the sale and at the same time was fitted with a brand new Stage-3
cylinder head, a new radiator, and cooling pipes. The car was also given
a geometry check and set up, and some pre-race prep,and this work
was carried out by Jigsaw Racing.
The gearbox is a four-speed’dogbox’ with a twin plate clutch and a
limited slip differential. The suspension includes Spax adjustable front
dampers, upgraded rear lever arms, anti-roll bar, and lowered and
stiffened coil springs which have been rebuilt by our vendor.
The body is all GRP paneled with the exception of the steel doors. It’s
fitted with a roll bar, a new seat, 5-point harness, extinguisher system,
battery cut offs, and a foam filled fuel tank. It’s currently fitted with a
transponder for lap timing.
A small spares package will come with the car, including some spare
steel body panels, wings, boot etc plus grp wings and bonnet. Two
brand new wheels and tyres are also included, and its worth noting
that the tyres currently fitted are also virtually new.
This well respected TR is ready to compete in 2016 although, as with all
race cars, a full check over is always advised before going out. It is tax
exempt and does not require an MoT. This has been a very competitive
car, and would make a perfect introduction to Hill Climbs, Sprints and
Historic Racing, is eligible for Thoroughbreds (MGCC), Swinging 60s
(CSCC), Top Hat/Masters and various other classic and historic series,
including Equipe GTS and HSCC with minor modifications to conform
