Registration - ODD 598PChassis No. - 954-01996-AM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 00006 (new odometer) This 1976 LHD Land Rover Series 3 Lightweight has a captivating history. It was spotted 23 years ago by its current owner, who was at that time working in Saudi Arabia on a contract to build a milk processing plant. Whilst on his daily commute he noticed the Land Rover sitting dormant amongst a collection of vehicles outside the home of a local Saudi car collector. After lengthy negotiations, he eventually succeeded in persuading the owner to part with the vehicle for the princely sum of 2,847 Saudi riyals - around £600. In June 2002, the milk plant contract finished, the proud new owner of the Land Rover embarked an arduous journey, traversing the landscapes of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Switzerland, France, and finally, the United Kingdom. Over the course of nearly one month, the Land Rover and its owner braved the elements and overcame countless challenges. From the scorching heat of Alkharj to the bureaucratic hurdles of customs checkpoints, each leg of the journey presented its own set of trials. Engine troubles, border disputes, and unexpected expenses punctuated the narrative, yet the Land Rover persevered, a testament to its resilience and the resourcefulness of its owner. Reflecting on the journey, when asked if they would embark on such an adventure again, the vendor concludes with a resounding "Not on your Nellie!” The Land Rover, which embodies the marque’s quintessential spirit of adventure and resilience, has now undergone a full restoration, bringing it back to its former glory, and is accompanied with a large Lever Arch file of invoices of expenditure whilst in the vendor's care. The Series IIA Lightweight was replaced by the Series III Lightweight in 1972. The vehicle remained in essence the same bar a few minor changes: there were some modifications to the chassis and a revised gearbox with synchromesh on second through to fourth. In the electrical department the Series III was fitted with an alternator in place of the dynamo, the new indicator switch incorporated a headlamp flasher and horn and the ignition switch was now fitted in a new steering column cowl instead of on the dashboard. The Lightweight did retain the earlier Series IIA metal dashboard even after the upgrade.A LHD example, in current ownership for 23 years and with a fascinating historyThe subject of a full restorationOffered without reserve

Registration No: 549 GYP Chassis No: 860554 MOT: ExemptOriginally built as a right-hand drive Fixed Head Coupé but was re-shelled as a Roadster during an extensive overhaul in the 1990sSupplied with a history file dating back to 1973 including Green continuation logbookA home market car that has been improved with features such as a full synchromesh 4.2 E-Type gearboxOwned by the vendor since 2018 and maintained regardless of costPLEASE NOTE:This lot has a fault with the electric hood which is not functioning. The fault is believed to be with the control module but this has not been confirmed.Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore on its debut and has become one of the most iconic designs in automotive history. With its stunning looks, outrageous performance and accessible price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. While early competition success in the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori among others helped cement its reputation on the racetrack, the list of celebrity owners ensured its cult status on the roads. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame a la D-Type, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave excellent road-holding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, the free-revving unit reputedly enabled the E-Type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph – figures the press cars certainly managed even if the standard ones couldn’t quite! Seemingly borrowed from a light aircraft, the wonderful turned aluminium centre console that adorned its cockpit was complemented by scalloped 'Dunlopillo' seats and a wood-rim steering wheel. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick, the sublime E-Type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar.Understood to have been manufactured in 1962, chassis 860554 was purportedly first registered in July 1964. Built as a UK Market, right-hand drive Fixed Head Coupé in Blue. Little is known of the early history of the E-Type until 1973, when it was under the custodianship of Hardings Motors Ltd of London Road, Leigh-on-Sea. The car was purpotedly sold to a local gentleman by Hardings - a Mr. J.I. Gilmore of Church Road, Shoeburyness and then through the hands of a number of owners (one as far away as Plymouth) before it was apparently laid up until the 1980s. By this point, it is understood that '549 GYP' was bought by a Gentleman who was ex-Jaguar who deemed it necessary to overhaul it. For whatever reason (either increasing values of Roadsters particularly or a very rotten FHC shell) the car was re-shelled as a Roadster during this extensive overhaul which included painting the new bodywork in Sherwood Green and trimming the interior in tan leather to full 1964 3.8 Litre E-Type specification including the vinyl covered centre console. The 3.8 Litre engine unit was also overhauled around this time and it is believed that the fully synchromesh gearbox from a 4.2 Litre car was fitted to improve the driving experience in place of the original Moss gearbox. Having been in the ownership of two other enthusiasts since this period, the owner (who owns a number of fine Jaguars) bought '549 GYP' in 2018 to 'cover for' his other E-Type whilst it was away being restored and has enjoyed a number of long trips and rallies with the car. The car has been maintained exceptionally within the vendor's ownership, who describes it as being 'ready to go anywhere' as it is in 'very good' order mechanically. The history file backs up these claims and includes a number of service receipts and invoices for shotblasting and repainting the inside of the bonnet and headlamp bowls and the fitment of a Lucas 123 distributor. Now, with a driveway and garage filling up with a number of 'Big Cats', including his original E-Type that is back home from restoration, it is time for this iconic vehicle to find a new, loving home.On our inspection, we were greeted with the pleasing sight of the Sherwood Green paintwork with Black Mohair hood, which the present owner describes as being in 'very good' order, having stood up remarkably well given that the overhaul was completed in 1995. The Tan Leather upholstery has also worn with an attractive patina which is to be expected from nearly 30 years of loving ownership. However, please note that if you are of the opinion that everything must be of concours standard, it will need some amount of work to arrive to that level. The car started remarkably quickly when we visited the car with the note of the legendary twin-cam straight six resembling a purr through a fresh looking stainless steel exhaust system.Presenting the perfect opportunity to own a 3.8 Litre Series 1 E-Type Roadster at a much lower premium than a more original car might, this Jaguar would make a fantastic drivers' car for anybody who can overlook a six-digit number stamped on a chassis plate - after all, just look at it!

Registration No: N855 DME Chassis No: WDB1290632F128770 MOT: March 2025Current registered ownership since 2005 and just two former keepers101,200 miles from newSupplied with the original and well-stamped service bookOffered with a body-coloured hardtopThe fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1989. It was a beautifully-engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front air bags. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002.Manufactured new in 1996, this SL 320 was supplied new to the United Kingdom being registered new on the 1st of May that year and was delivered to its first keeper by Mercedes-Benz main agents Lancaster Bow Ltd. of London. Finished from the factory in Green Black metallic paintwork with Beige leather interior upholstery, ‘N855 DME’ is accompanied by a body-coloured hardtop, and was specified from new with an adjustable steering column, speakers front and rear, headlamp cleaning equipment, eight-hole alloy wheels, and speakers front and rear. In current registered ownership since 2005, the Mercedes has been in dry storage for the last six years and has recently been taken out of storage for sale.Offered for sale now with 101,200 miles on the odometer and just two former keepers, ‘N855 DME’ is supplied with a history file that contains the original books including the stamped service book which illustrates fifteen entries, the most recent being completed at 100,582 miles. Further included in the history file is a large collection of invoices for work and maintenance while in current ownership, numerous previous MOT certificates, a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2025, and a current V5C document. Intended purchasers should note that since being taken out of storage the vendor has realised that the hood is now inoperable but believes this could be due to a faulty window control module (although this cannot be guaranteed).

Registration No: M502 KAC Chassis No: SALLHBM33MA655493 MOT: April 2025Formerly part of a 28-strong, private Range Rover collectionReputedly 1 of just 33 'soft dash' models to be finished in Niagara Dark Grey MetallicThe subject of much restoration work including new inner and outer sills plus attention to the inner wings, headlamp panel and tailgate etcAir-con, PAS, automatic transmission, heated front seats and sunroof etcFactory-fitted Brooklands bodykit, Cyclone alloy wheels, working air suspensionOnly built from March 1994 – February 1996, the Classic represented the ultimate evolution of the original Range Rover. Launched in 1970, Land Rover’s pioneering SUV had been the first vehicle of its kind to feature permanent four-wheel drive, ABS brakes, electronic traction control or air suspension. The initial series Rangie was also the only one to be displayed in the Musee du Louvre as an exemplar of industrial design or to have twice won the Dakar Rally. Long established as a global icon and ‘shorthand’ for British luxury, it is little wonder Land Rover hedged its bets by overlapping Classic production with that of its second generation (P38A) successor. Boasting a full suite of ‘mod cons’ including power steering, air-conditioning, heated front seats, automatic transmission and leather upholstery, the Classic was characterised by its ‘Soft Dash’ (derived from that of the contemporary Discovery). The flagship LSE variant boasted a longer 108-inch wheelbase for extra rear legroom and a potent 4.2 litre V8 engine developing some 200bhp/251lbft. A measure of the model’s collectability, the softdashregister.net lists just 375 examples. Finished in the late model colour of Niagara Grey Metallic with Grey leather upholstery, ‘M502 KAC’ also sports a desirable Brooklands bodykit which is perhaps unsurprising given that it was first registered to Land Rover UK Ltd on 8th June 1995. Looked after by Challenger 4x4 of Surrey for much of the 2000s / 2010s, the Classic joined Trevor Leggett’s 28-strong Range Rover collection during 2017. France’s most successful, high-end estate agent, Mr Leggett has an in-house team to service and improve his cars. The fruits of their labour are easy to see with the condition of ‘M502 KAC’ belying the 131,700 miles shown to its odometer. As well as replacement inner / outer sills, the Rangie has had attention paid to its inner wings, headlamp panel, tailgate and even underbonnet sound deadener. Starting readily and running well during a recent test drive, this rare and desirable ‘soft dash’ is offered for sale with original book pack, V5C and fresh MOT certificate.

Registration No: W377 LSL Chassis No: SALLPAMJ3YA444612 MOT: March 2025Just two former keepers with current ownership since 2015Modest mileage of just 70,300 miles from newDesirable Vogue specification with the 4.6-litre unleaded V8 mated to automatic transmissionOffered with the original book pack including stamped service bookTwenty-five years after its triumphant introduction, what's now known as the Range Rover ‘Classic' gave way to the second generation of the model (code name P38A). By then the Rover's original workmanlike persona had been completely transformed - long gone were the hose-down rubber flooring and basic trim, which had been replaced by increasingly deep pile carpets, leather upholstery and wood finishings. The newcomer brought a strengthened chassis and less boxy exterior, while power was now provided by upgraded 4.0-litre and 4.6-litre versions of Rover's ubiquitous all-alloy V8 engine and suspension by an improved version of the company's air system.Manufactured new in 2000, the Vogue specification ‘P38’ offered was supplied new by J. B. W. Smith of Fife, Scotland, being delivered to its first owner on the 28th of June 2000. Finished in Oxford Blue paintwork with a complementary Lightstone leather interior upholstery it has a walnut dashboard and centre console. In Vogue specification, ‘W377 LSL’ has the 4.6-litre unleaded V8 engine mated to automatic transmission and features cruise control, multi-function steering wheel, air-conditioning, Harman Kardon, electric heated and memory front seats, electric windows and mirrors, Range Rover rubber overmats, colour coded wing mirrors, headlamp cleaning system, and sunroof.Offered now having covered a modest mileage of just 70,300 miles from new, the Range Rover has resided with the current registered keeper since 2015 and has had only two former keepers. ‘W377 LSL’ is offered with the original book pack which is presented in its original wallet and contains the owner’s handbook, in-car entertainment guide and the stamped service book which illustrates eleven services across the Range Rovers life. Offered with a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2025 and a current V5C document, these P38 Range Rovers are growing in popularity, with this example having low ownership and sensible mileage!

1975 MGB GT COUPE Registration Number: JPH 323N Chassis Number: GHD5-378504G Recorded Mileage: 73,100 miles - With ‘Sebring’-style bodywork upgrades The MGB was first introduced in May 1962 as a direct replacement for the MGA. October 1965 saw the introduction of the GT and was based on the already popular roadster. Designed by Pininfarina, the new GT sported a hatchback giving useful access to the rear luggage space and a rear bench seat that enabled the car to be called a 2+2. Although acceleration was slightly slower than the roadster, top speed was better by 5mph due to the increased aerodynamic efficiency. BMC promoted their new MG model through endurance road racing, specifically at the annual twelve-hour endurance race at Sebring, Florida. With less power than its competitors, the works team instead chose to “add lightness”. LIghtweight aluminium body panels were added for the “GTS” or ‘Sebring” race cars; the front valance, front wings, door skins, and GT hatch were all made from aluminium, and were designed to be bolted on. This 1975 MG-GT was restored around 10 years ago and modified partly to give the appearance of those Sebring racers. The bumpers were removed, the front valance altered, a Sebring-style bonnet added, also perspex headlamp covers, minilite wheels and decals. A solid and reliable example, the MG has been waxoyled to prevent corrosion, and in 2022 serviced with the carburettors rebuilt/tuned on a rolling road. Said to run nicely, this striking looking ‘B’ has been seen at Castle Combe and in the MG Paddock at a recent Haynes Breakfast Club Meet. The MG is mechanically standard other than electronic ignition, an electric cooling fan, also working overdrive on 3rd and 4th gears. Finished in Damask Red with black interior, this cool looking MG has the looks of the legendary Sebring racers, at a fraction of the price.

Registration No: YSY 676 Frame No: GA7 3519 Engine No: DA10 6559 CC: 650 MOT: ExemptGold Star style fuel tank, mudguards, exhaust and brakes120mph speedo and a new 8k tacho costing over £400DA10 thick flange barrel and supplied with a current V5CThe Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. Probably the most sought-after models produced by BSA are the Gold Star range of 350 and 500cc singles and the rare Rocket Gold Star 650cc twin of the late ‘50s early '60s. There were only about 1300 genuine Rocket Gold Stars made and they normally command a very high price but authentic-looking replicas can be made using an A10 as a starting point fitted with a few distinctive Goldie items.This replica looks the part with a Gold Star style fuel tank, brakes, exhaust, mudguards and headlamp brackets together with a 120mph speedo and a new 8k redline tacho sourced at a cost of over £400. The vendor reports it has the more desirable thick flange barrel, alloy Rocket cylinder head and is fitted with unleaded valve seats. This good-looking BSA has been part of an enthusiast private collection of British classics for a few years, only selling now to make space in his garage for other projects, not run for a while it will need some recommissioning but the engine turns over on the kickstarter and it comes with a current V5C.

Registration No: GDP 91 Frame No: 17718NA Engine No: TR532888 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptOwned by the late owner for many yearsRestored a while ago to a good standard.Part of a private collectionCurrent V5C on file and written notesTriumph announced the TR5 Trophy in November 1948 at the Earls Court Show. The new machine was intended for clubmen riders wishing to compete in off-road events and was based on the machines that the ‘works’ team had successfully campaigned in trials and the 1948 ISDT. The 500cc engine featured a square alloy barrel taken from the wartime generator engine with early models retaining the cooling shroud bosses cast into the cylinder. The engine and transmission were housed in a new, rigid, frame design which featured a shorter wheelbase than standard. A high level, Siamesed exhaust system and a quickly detachable headlamp were fitted as standard and a range of parts were made available to enable the owner to tailor the machines performance to their chosen discipline. Given the new model's origins in the ISDT it is not surprising that it quickly earnt a reputation as an excellent long distance trials machine, although it was less suited to section trials.This Triumph on offer has been with the late owner for a few years and in his ownership he has maintained it to a good standard. Having formed part of a small collection of motorcycles, it was running in the autumn of 2023 and has been kept inside a residential house since then. It may require some light checking over before use and is offered with a current V5C and some hand written notes. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Based on the Triumph T15 Terrier 150cc, itself a surprise announcement just before the 1952 show, the 200cc T20 Tiger Cub was designed by Edward Turner, and launched at the Earls Court show in November 1953. It competed well against the other small-capacity motorcycles of the time, such as those using two-stroke engines from Villiers. The Sports Cub designated T20SH featured slimline mudguards, no rear panelling or headlamp nacelle and with a higher compression ratio and other engine modifications were timed at 74mph mean maximum by Motor Cycle magazine.Offered here is a nicely restored ‘matching numbers’ Sports Cub complete with a V5C and presenting in ‘good order’. It is reported to us that it ‘runs well’. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-presented example of the much sought-after Sports Cub.

1966 Lambretta Li 125 series 3. Registration number KAO 592D. Frame number 132297. Engine number 132202.Sold with the V5C, dating certificate, old MOT's and receipt of parts.Manufactured by the Italian industrial giant Innocenti, the Lambretta scooter gained widespread acceptance in the 1950s, its cleanliness and convenience in particular appealing to those who regarded the true motorcycle with suspicion. Following the unreliable TV 175 Series 1, Lambretta went back to the drawing board to create one of its all-time greats: the Li. The Li was built as either a 125 or 150 using the bore/stroke dimensions of the preceding 'D' Series, producing 5.2hp and 6.5bhp respectively, while its new engine in over-bored form found its way into the revamped TV 175 Series 2 in 1959. The Li range was restyled along similar lines at the same time, with headlamp nacelle and faired-in handlebars, thus establishing the definitive Lambretta look that would endure until Italian production ceased in 1971.KAO, the Tiger, was owned by William Harris in 2009 and he undertook a full rebuild, there is a receipt for all the parts fitted at the time from The Scooter Warehouse. It has subsequently had the most amazingly detailed Tiger paintwork and upholstery. Our vendor bought it in 2011 and has used it as a display piece.

Registration - PNP 854Y Chassis No. - WFOCXXGAECCR0360S M.O.T. - Exempt Odometer - 35,434 If you like your Fords original and unmolested, then ‘PNP 854Y’ could be the Capri for you. One of the increasingly hard-to-find base model cars, it was first registered by Brooklyn Ford of Malvern in November 1982 and remained with the same owner, a Mrs Harnett, until 2019, so is a genuine one previous lady owner example. The vendor informs us that ‘it starts and drives superbly’. He adds that the bodywork is ‘solid everywhere’ and the Gold metallic paintwork totally original. On the subject of the engine he says ‘it pulls cleanly and ticks over silently’. Overall, he currently classes the engine, and transmission as ‘excellent’, the brown upholstery as ‘good’, and the bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’. With just 35,000 miles under its belt, this remarkably original Capri is now offered complete with original bill of sale, including the original service book plus an assortment of old MOT’s. Arguably a unique opportunity for the many Capri fans everywhere. Ford’s Capri was launched at the 1969 Brussels Salon. The fastback coupe was intended to do for Europe what the Mustang had done for the USA. The newcomer was initially offered with a generous choice of four-cylinder engines, but by September those had been joined by the 136bhp, 3-litre V6 Essex unit. Worthwhile improvements to the model came with the MKII versions of 1974 and the quadruple headlamp MKIII cars introduced in 1978. In summary: A one previous owner example Just 35,000 miles from new An original and unmolested example

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 GES Transmission: manualMileage:156738The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagon, short for Geländewagen (cross-country vehicle), is characterised by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It uses three fully locking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. The G-Class is still in production and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz vehicles in their history with a span of 32 years. It was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran and offered as a civilian version in 1979. The first major refinements were introduced in 1981, including an automatic transmission, air conditioning, an auxiliary fuel tank, protective headlamp grilles and a cable winch. Fuel injection became available in 1982 when the 230GE was introduced in Turin, along with more comfortable and supportive front seats, auxiliary heating, wider tyres and wheel arches. For 1985, differential locks, central door locking and a tachometer became standard.This very well presented manual transmission example is offered in its original colour combination of Astra Metallic Silver over a black leather interior and looks excellent having been treated to much restoration and maintenance work in recent years. Over £15,000 was spent including a 'windows out' respray and more recently the G-Wagon was treated to a set of new tyres all round. As such the G-Wagon presents in very good condition throughout. The paintwork is excellent and the interior including the headlining and carpets are presented in very good condition. Offered with a history file including photos of the comprehensive respray, many sundry bills, invoices for various works, many previous MoT test certificates, the current UK registration document and an MoT valid until June 2024. This is one of the best examples we have seen and having been maintained and restored to such a level we are sure it will be keenly contested at auction.
1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Transmission: automaticMileage:19562Launched in 1962, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III and its Bentley S3 equivalent employed the 6.2 litre aluminium-alloy V8 engine first introduced in the Silver Cloud II although with larger carburettors, new distributor and raised compression ratio. It also came with a four speed GM derived automatic gearbox as standard equipment. Most obvious, among many changes from the preceding models, was the adoption of four headlamp lighting, the absence of sidelights from the wing tops and a slightly lower radiator shell. Inside, there was improved accommodation with separate front seats and increased room for rear passengers. Notable as the last mainstream Rolls-Royce to employ a separate chassis, the Silver Cloud III remained in production until superseded by the unitary-construction Silver Shadow in late 1965. The Cloud represented a supremely elegant design and is often regarded as the last true Rolls-Royce.This beautifully presented Cloud III was first registered on 3RD February 1964 and is now finished in a two tone blue over grey coachwork with complimentary grey leather trim. Owned since 2005 by our vendor's father, this was as described his pride and joy. This is demonstrated by the level of maintenance and expense lavished on SFU179 with Rolls Royce and Bentley specialist Harvey Wash Ltd most recently. The Paintwork shows little signs of age having clearly been restored and the woodwork is again in very good condition adding to the opulence. The leather seats in both the front and back are supportive and as to be expected, luxurious. Having been stored for a few years, the car performed very well on a recent short drive to Windsor for its photoshoot in the Royal Borough and the storage facility owned by a good friend of the owner's family stated that the car was started regularly. Supplied with V5C registration document, original handbook, a history file with recent invoices and with only 2,044 standard steel saloons built between 1962 and 1966, it is rare to find such a good example and estimated very reasonably. A car that was well loved by both the owner and his family and fitted with modern seatbelts front and back, this is a fabulously restored and very well cared for example.

1975 Ducati 350 Mark III Registration Number: GWM 84N Frame Number: DM350 S 359445 Early in 1968 Ducati introduced a range of models bearing the name "Scrambler", featuring a revised overhead cam engine design that quickly became known as the "widecase". The "Scrambler" models were eventually offered in four capacities, the 250 and 350 being joined by a 450 model and a 125cc version. The Scramblers were joined later in the year by two revised Mark 3 models, a 250 and 350. Regarded as the performance machine in the range, the 350 was fitted with a white/green camshaft and proved to be capable of 106mph. A 450cc Mark 3 joined the range in 1969. At this time the Mark 3's were fitted with a distinctive twin filler fuel tank and a headlamp mounted speedometer complimented by a separate tachometer, however, for 1970 the instrumentation changed to a separate speedometer and tachometer mounted on brackets in the same style as those employed by the "Desmo" singles. For 1971 the Mark 3 and "Desmo" ranges underwent considerable revisions that resulted in the style of the machines diverging. The "Desmos" adopted a fibreglass tank complimented by a racing style seat with a fibreglass hump and clip on handlebars accentuating its sporting characteristics while the Mark 3's adopted a new petrol tank, followed by a revised dual seat, side covers, instruments and headlight in 1972, reflecting the style of the 750 GT and establishing the machines final form. This Mark III was first registered in April 1975, being in the ownership of a private collector and enthusiast in recent times. Finished in a very 70s shade of orange with a black seat, this cool 350 has all of the looks of the Desmo, at a fraction of the price.
1961 Moto Parilla 250 Wildcat Registration Number: 294 UYV Frame Number: 700537 Engine No 700537 This machine is a rare beast. The Wildcat was a “USA-only” product of the Moto Parilla factory, made for the huge off-road and competition market. Designed with off-road in mind, it had an immensely strong “full-loop” frame (unlike the road bikes) and was fitted with top class Ceriani GP 35mm front forks (with damping adjustment from the saddle) and adjustable Ceriani rear shocks. Completing the high specification was a 7 litre tank, steering damper and steel based, leather covered seat. The engine was, at the time, the most powerful 250cc single engine in production with 26 bhp claimed. The Wildcat shared the same tune as the road-racing GS 250 model, with high compression piston, x1 cam (50/80/80/50 timing), 28mm Dellorto SSI carburettor and remote SS2 float bowl. Most Wildcats were bought as pure off-roaders with no intention of conforming to any road legalities such as lighting, instruments or silencing. A small number were sold with an optional “Enduro” kit which provided lighting with a headlamp and mounting “ears” at the front and a rear tail light and stop light switch. An extra coil fitted in the CEV 6055 magneto provided “direct” lighting and power for the stop light. This machine, equipped with the lighting kit and optional tachometer, started life in the UK in a batch imported by the UK concessionaire, and possibly sold via Comerfords in London. Around 30 machines were taken in a deal when the factory was effectively in receivership, but strangely no one outside the Parilla board knew this! This led to great difficulty in getting any spares for the Wildcats, as they were unique models in the range, sharing no cycle parts and only major engine components such as crankcases and barrels with other 250 models. Several of those bikes were used as parts “donors”, being stripped as required to keep customer bikes going or to repair them after crashes. Some Wildcats were “scrambled” by famous names such as world champion Dave Bickers, so one can imagine some damage was caused to the race bikes. This particular bike started out as “New Old Stock”, a new and unused engine, frame and swing arm unit which was bought from an enthusiast in Devon who had many years ago acquired several complete and incomplete Parilla models. Both engine and frame shared the same serial number so it was an obvious move to rebuild the bike to a high standard using the best original components available. It has been subject to a thorough restoration mechanically and cosmetically. Externally it is as near to 100% original as possible. Original gas tank, forks, mudguards and other missing components were located or came from a stock of new/old stock parts. Replica parts were not used other than the silencer to make it possible to use on the road. Internally the engine was checked over but being unused needed little work other than replacement of seals. In current ownership the following work has been completed: · All frame parts were powder coated gloss black. · All fork parts were powder coated wrinkle black as original · Fork stanchions hard chromed · OE fasteners and fittings were re-plated with dull zinc · All OE chrome work was re-plated to UK standards · Fuel tank de-rusted internally and refinished to OE standards and pattern · New gas taps were commissioned from the original manufacturers · The seat was repacked and recovered in Italy to ensure the exact stitching methods used were replicated · The wheel rims were replaced with flangeless alloy units and rebuilt using stainless spokes · New tyres fitted The Wildcat has been fitted with a custom made stainless steel “silenced” version of the original megaphone exhaust pipe, to tame a few of the many decibels produced by what is basically a “full race” ‘60’s engine tune. The lighting kit is not fitted at this point but an OE kit was supplied. In good running order (the engine was rebuilt by a renowned UK Parilla specialist). This rare bike comes with a certificate of authenticity and history file.
In superb condition with low mileage and celebrity provenance, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a pristine example of a Heritage Edition Defender with just 3,800 miles from new. After 67 years of making one of the most iconic off-roaders, Land Rover finally called time on the Defender series, so closely linked in heart, body and soul to the original 1947 Series I, HUE 166, affectionately known as 'Huey'. To mark the occasion, Land Rover launched the final Defender Celebration Series of three limited editions and the most significant of these was the Heritage Edition. Limited to just 400 built right at the end, the last ever Defender rolled off the production line at 9.15am on 29th January 2016. It was the 2,016,933rd Defender built at Solihull and thus became the last true Land Rover, the end of an era.All were finished in Grasmere Green with an Alaskan White roof, Heritage-style grill, headlamp surrounds and heavy duty steel wheels as a nod to the original car and further nostalgic touches include the silver front bumper with black end caps, clear indicator lenses, Indus Silver door hinges, body-coloured wheel arches, aluminium Heritage-style badging to the front grille and rear bodywork and evocative HUE 166 graphics on both front wing panels.Modern upgrades included a perforated leather steering wheel and gear lever, aluminium trim for the air vents, door handles and door locks, interior trim finished in Almond Resolve cloth seat facings with the Heritage logo and finally a padded cubby box between the two front seats.This car was supplied new by Gordon Lamb of Chesterfield in October of 2015 to its first owner who covered a nominal mileage and within 18 months offered the car for sale. In 2017, we were approached to locate and find a five-door 110 Heritage Edition, significantly rarer than the three-door 90, specifically for the world-famous comic actor, Rowan Atkinson CBE.A well known petrol head and Land Rover enthusiast, we had the pleasure of sourcing this car for him and it has since been cherished and lightly used as part of his personal Collection. Always correctly serviced, maintained and professionally stored, retaining all its original paint and panels, it has now covered just 3,800 miles from new. During Rowan's tenure, the car was fitted with a factory-specification tow bar and electrics as well as factory-spec air conditioning (at a cost of £4,278!) and also had a car alarm installed. Today, it is ready to use and enjoy and is offered in exceptional condition throughout with the comfort of a known history from new.The Heritage Edition was limited to a production run world wide of just 400 units and each vehicle was accompanied by a matching green hardback book entitled Land Rover - One of 400. We are pleased to confirm that the book is present and correct with this car and can be seen with the history file at our documents desk at the forthcoming sale.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER Year: 2015 Chassis Number: SALLDHMP7GA483984 Registration Number: YR65 WUT Transmission: Manual 6-Speed Engine Number: 150924061314DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 3800 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: AlmondClick here for more details and images
1963 Triumph Vitesse Saloon Registration Number BRU 636AChassis Number HB4528D.LEngine Number HB4721HEThe Triumph Vitesse was introduced in May 1962 as an up-rated and more refined version of its earlier sister car, The Herald. Powered by a six cylinder, 1596 cc engine the car was designed by Giovanni Michelotti who redesigned his earlier Herald with a new slanted headlamp configuration but used most of the panels from the earlier car and was available in a two-door saloon or convertible style with a few three door estates built to special order. Wooden door cappings were added to match the wooden dashboard and slightly better seats and door cards.Attractively finished in Signal Red and Beach White with a black interior, the car presents very well. Seatbelts have also been added. The milometer currently reads 81158 which would indicate limited use since its last MOT in July 2021. Under the bonnet is clean and tidy and all tyres appear to be in good condition.The car comes with a history file with many receipts for work carried out since 1989 and recent receipts for parts that have been replaced. Also included are many old MOT certificates and an original Vitesse owners handbook. The car comes with a current V5C.Estimate:: £5,500 - 6,000

‘Terrible trials were averted by those brave airmen, who rose from fog-enveloped aerodromes with little prospect of ever reaching earth again alive. Many a time the report “nothing seen” would be rendered; but seeing nothing themselves they were frequently seen by their prey and so frustrated many a raider. If the list of unknown heroes were being compiled these would assuredly figure amongst the first.’ (The German Air Raids on Great Britain, by Captain J. Morris refers) An early and rare Great War ‘Defence of Great Britain’ M.C. group of four awarded to Captain R. C. L. Holme, Royal Flying Corps, late Somerset Light Infantry, who distinguished himself in the fight against raiding Zeppelins with 39 (Home Defence) Squadron, alongside such pilots as ‘Bomber’ Harris and William Leefe-Robinson. Transferring to 33 Squadron, Holme crashed on take-off whilst attempting to intercept one of the 16 airships intent on raiding London - one of which, SL11, was shot down by Leefe-Robinson during his V.C. winning exploits on 2-3 September 1916. Holme suffered badly both physically and mentally as a result of his crash - having to be removed from underneath his burning aircraft. Despite these setbacks, he went on to be posted to France as a Flight Commander with 29 Squadron and gained ‘Ace’ status in SE.5a single seater fighters during 1918. Holme survived the War, only to tragically die as a result of injuries and burns sustained as a passenger in a Vickers Vernon which crashed in Baghdad in October 1922 Military Cross, G.V.R., unnamed as issued; 1914-15 Star (2. Lieut. R. C. L. Holme. Som. L.I.); British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves (Capt. R. C. L. Holme. R.A.F.) generally very fine or better (4) £3,000-£4,000 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, September 2000. M.C. London Gazette 24 January 1917 (Home Honours): ‘For valuable services rendered in connection with the War.’ One of a handful of known ‘Home Defence’ gallantry awards for the Air Defence of Great Britain during the Great War, five of which were awarded in respect of gallantry during 1916 and 1917 - these including a V.C., a D.S.O., a Second Award Bar to the M.C., and 2 M.C.’s (the latter including Holme’s award). These early awards were for actions against Zeppelins, whilst the remainder were primarily for actions against Giants and Gothas in 1918. M.I.D. London Gazette 25 January 1917: ‘For distinguished services rendered in connection with the War.’ Robert Charles Lyon Holme was born in Reading, Berkshire, in November 1896, and in his youth resided in Norton-sub-Hampden, Somerset, and Barnes, London. He was educated at Repton and Sandhurst, and was commissioned into Prince Albert’s Somerset Light Infantry 11 November 1914, the day after his 18th birthday. Holme served with the Regiment in France from December 1914 to March 1915. He transferred to the Royal Flying Corps later that year, and despite being initially seconded as an Observer to 16 Squadron, Holme qualified on a Maurice Farman for Aviator’s Certificate No. 1665 at the British Flying School, Le Crotoy, on 28 August 1915. He had already been in combat with 16 Squadron, with Second Lieutenant H.M. Goode as his pilot, on 17 June 1915. On this date the pair carried out a reconnaissance in a BE.2a over Seclin, armed only with an automatic rifle, when they engaged an Aviatik bi-plane: 'The German machine was first seen going south over Gondecourt, where upon we changed our course in order to get within range – when within about 200 yards we made a sharp turn heading north and opened fire, we followed him as far as Loos firing all the time. By then he had increased his lead to some 1,000 yards and was losing height rapidly, we then turned and continued our reconnaissance. During the later point of the combat we were in range of the Lille anti-aircraft guns which had opened an ineffective fire.' (Combat Report refers) A ‘Dash’ with ‘Bomber’ Harris Holme was officially seconded as a Flying Officer (Observer) in the Royal Flying Corps in September 1915, and left 16 Squadron the same month. He was posted for Home Defence duties, for the defence of Great Britain, in December 1915. Holme carried out further training as a pilot, and served with 39 (Home Defence) Squadron (BE.2cs) at Sutton’s Farm and Hainault Farm, Hounslow. By the start of the new year, he was up in the air trying to intercept Zeppelins: ‘On the night of 25/26 April 1916, one of Holme’s squadron colleagues, Captain A. T. Harris, became the first to use the new and still experimental Brock explosive bullets against a raiding Zeppelin (LZ97). (Harris would gain undying fame in the Second World War as ‘Bomber’ Harris). Soon after closing with LZ97, Harris’ Lewis gun jammed and whilst he was clearing it, the Zeppelin slipped away into the surrounding gloom. Holme and another colleague spied the same Zeppelin in the distance, coned in the light of searchlights, but it was too far away to be caught.’ (The Military Cross to Flying Personnel of Great Britain and the Empire 1914-1919, by H. Giblin and N. Franks refers) Holme, Harris and one Lieutenant W. Leefe-Robinson (later V.C.) had attempted an attack on one of five raiding Zeppelins that night. Both Harris and Leefe-Robinson were unsuccessful, and Holme took up the pursuit. However, he encountered a fuel problem and was forced to make a dead-stick landing at Chingford. Hunting Zeppelins with Leefe-Robinson Holme advanced to Temporary Captain, and transferred as a Flight Commander to 33 Squadron (BE.2cs) at Bramham Moor. The Squadron was engaged on Home Defence duties, protecting the Midlands and the North against Zeppelin raids. On the night of 28-29 July 1916, the Squadron received information from the Humber Garrison Commander that hostile airships (six Imperial Navy Zeppelins) had been sighted 40 miles east of the mouth of the Humber proceeding due west. At this time, however, a thick fog in the vicinity of the aerodrome precluded any attempt being made to despatch aeroplanes. At 2 a.m. a further report was received of a Zeppelin proceeding from Driffield towards Hull. The weather being slightly clearer by this time, Lieutenant Holme was the only pilot to ascend from Bramham Moor, but at 3,500 feet above the aerodrome could barely see the landing flares and as the fog was becoming thicker he was forced to descend. So bad was the weather that he was forced to abandon his attempt to stalk Kapitanleutnant Koch’s L24, which had been reported in the Hull area. On the night of 2-3 August 1916, six Zeppelins raided England, whilst the Squadron was operating from Beverley. Although the German force confined their raid to the eastern counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, 33 Squadron sent out a protective patrol over Hull and the Humber. Holme took off at 2.25 am and patrolled towards Driffield, then turning south he circled round Hull at 10,000 feet. Visibility was bad and he could see nothing on his own level, so descending to 8,000 feet he went out over Hedon to the coast and followed it north to Atwick, where Holmes stated: 'I now saw a searchlight at Beverley giving me the pre-arranged signal that all was over, accordingly I throttled to come down. My lights had gone out and wishing to keep my headlamp until near the ground I came down without it to 4,000 feet. When trying my engine I got into a mild nose dive but came out of it all right and landed without damage at 3.35 am.’ Exactly one month later, on the night of Leefe-Robinson’s V.C. victory over SL11, Holme crashed on take-off in BE.2c 2661 at one o&rsqu...
