BMW M3 Convertible 1995 - Having recently been cosmetically refurbished, including a new convertible hood and its alloy wheels restored then fitted with new tyres. This 3litre 5 Speed manual 1995 BMW "M3" not only looks excellent but has the sort of performance that shames many modern day performance cars.

Showing 100,791 on the odometer and coming with a full service history to back that up. It has MOTs dating back to 2003 when mileage was recorded as 63,004 so has only covered an average of just over 2500 miles a year in the last 14 years.

Body work is finished in the rare "Daytona Violet" colour while the leather interior is in black, a nice colour combination that is very popular. Both exterior and interior are described as "Perfect, no rust, scratches or marks", marking this particular BM out from the usual cars on offer. This is not an old thing that has been abused to within an inch of its life, received a lick of paint then sold on, but a car that has been used and enjoyed but looked after properly throughout.

Under the bonnet is where the magic is, BMWs legendary 3 Litre straight 6 engine giving 285 horses of smooth power, coupled to a 5 speed manual gearbox with ratios that give instant pull down low but effortless cruising in the higher gears. These really are a drivers car and like anything carrying the legendary "M" designation is very sought after in the market today. Prices of even the poorer condition cars go up month on month, as good examples such as this car, become harder and harder to find. If you are looking for a good investment in a classic car, but one you can use as well, this BMW E36 M3 just might be the car you are looking for. Currently MOTd through to August 2017 so ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.

Jaguar XJR 1994 - This nice 1994 Jaguar XJR represents the chance to own a "Proper Jag" for the price of a cheap, and decidedly un-hot, hatch back.

First registered in November 1994, its Carnival Red exterior is in excellent condition while the very well-appointed interior is also very good with little wear to its oat meal coloured leather and lovely wood trims. There are a couple of electrical gremlins however with the sunroof and boot not opening.

Mechanically it is good with everything functioning as designed and the MOT is through to December. There is an exhaust blow will need to be addressed before the next MOT but other than that the car drives very well. Recorded mileage is a low 85000 miles but unfortunately there is no service history to back this up.

We have said this many times before but there are certain cars that the classic car world passed by in the rush of ever increasing demand and prices, these lovely Jags are one such car but now with the market waking up to them this car is probably one of the last ones to be offered in this sort of price range, so our advice is to grab one while you can.

Jaguar MK2 2.4 Manual 1967 -  late entry to our auction but one well waiting for is this very nice 1967 Jag MK2 with the 2.4 litre engine and a manual gearbox. Having been owned by the vendor since 2005 he says in his words "She is a fabulous old car and something I had always wanted, but now it is time for someone else to enjoy" Although it came to him with not a lot of history, he has always kept it maintained and MOTd by the same Jaguar specialist so has the bills and invoices from him. What it did come with was a stack of old MOTs dating back to 1990 when the mileage was 39349. While in his keep it has had a speedometer change in 2015 at 5578 (105578) and this is fully documented. As such the car is now showing 26187 (used unit as a replacement) See before and after pictures of the speedometer.

The dark blue paintwork is in very good order, being restored prior to his purchase from a specialist classic car dealer and today the paint and exterior chrome has that deep shine from many liberal coats of wax. The spoke wheels are in excellent order and the whole car would make you proud if at a show with it.

Interior received the same attention as the exterior, with the leather seats and door cards now still in good condition (some slight detachment of the rear panel on drivers seat please see picture). The great condition wood dash is complimented with a quality wood rimmed steering wheel. All the various switches and gauges work correctly and again are in very good order.

The engine gearbox and other general mechanics have always received anything needed if or when required and as such are all very good. This MK2 really should be looked at as an investment as the vendor is offering it with a low reserve, set at less than he paid for it in 2005! (Invoice in the history to prove this) . Comes with its various handbooks and a current MOT till May 2017.

Morris Minor "Split Screen" Rolling Restoration Project 1953 - This suprisingly original "Split Screen Moggy" is an ideal candidate for restoration, given that it starts and moves under its own steam. So mechanically you are half way there. Body wise it has never been got at so no nasty bodge jobs to get round first. The current number plate has been removed and it now has a non-transferable age related plate with the new V5. While doing this process and prior to being told that being a pre 1960 car it does not require an MOT to transfer the plate, the vendor had carried out the structural welding underneath that the car required for an MOT.

So no not a weekends work but well worth the effort to restore, or if not just tidy up and use as is.

Volkswagen T25 1915cc 4 Speed 4 Berth 1984 - This lovely classic VW camper benefits from a lot of hard work being recently carried out by the current owner. Now, unfortunately for him but not for someone else, with a loss of storage space it has to go so he will not get to use it himself!

The exterior is very presentable in the white with colour coded exterior trim, giving it a nice fresh look especially with the 16" Alloy wheels he has fitted.

Interior wise he has fitted the floor with a non-slip covering, the cooking side of things is now taken care of by a twin ring gas hob with an electrically pumper cold water supply to the sink (or Kettle ) The whole interior has been treated to a custom refit and now looks very nice.

Mechanics are all described as very good, with the 1915cc engine actually allowing you to get somewhere at the legal limit, unlike the earlier VW Campers. The 4 speed gearbox gives a good blend of low down pulling power but sensible revs when cruising.

Current MOT is through to August so plenty of time left to enjoy before the next test. Currently the Van is showing 99029 miles, not a lot of history to speak of but the MOT History shows that in June 2005 it had covered 94549 miles so a mere 4500 miles in the last 12 years!

Offered at a realistic reserve, this could make a Camper Van enthusiast or A V- Dub person, very happy.

Citoen 2CV LHD just in from France 1984 - Just in from France is this original 1984 2cv Citroen in surprisingly solid order. The 602 cc engine fires easily and pulls as willingly as a 1984 2 Cylinder 602cc engine can. The strange thing about 2CVs is that even with the low power they have, they are good fun and make people smile. Maybe that is why they are in such demand as they do become almost part of the family once you own one!

Apart from the rear panel, where there is some rust evident the chassis is good and having only covered 57000 Kilometres the interior etc is not all worn out. It has a nice patina that makes you want to just tidy it up and otherwise just leave "Claude" or whatever you call it (O yes you will!) alone as it is.

Coming with its French papers it will just be a matter of an MOT, a bit of insurance and you can register here in the UK, if required, onto an age related plate.
