Options were limited comprising of Wire wheels overdrive gearbox laminated windscreen interior heater adjustable steering column detachable hard top for the 2+2 and twotone paint but this one had the lot with the rare hard top still being present with the car as is the soft top and tonneau cover. As previously mentioned restoration took place the best part of 20 years ago and while still in excellent order there are one or two areas where some paint rectification could be carried out minor chips etc remember this car ran in the MonteCarlo rally. Nothing that detracts from the looks and presence of the car though and only very minor. The interior is still in very good order and trimmed correctly. Chrome work badges etc. are all present correct and in very good condition. The engine bay is very presentable needing no more than some minor detailing to be show quality and they engine fires up willingly soon warming to a smooth but purposeful tick over. The gearbox has over drive which is reported to work and all the mechanics are described as good

MG TF Low Miles 2003 They really do not come much better than this if you want a car that will be a future classic one thats price is already on the way up with good examples such as this regularly selling for more than thought. These face lifted later spec MG TFs are the one to be with. This particular example is in superb condition having spent the last 5 years stored inside part of a private collection and having only covered a mere 48000 miles from new borne out by the MOT history showing it had only done 19640 mils when three years old and only another 28K since! Resplendent in bright red the body work is excellent and is complemented by having a very rare hard top in contrasting black. Mechanically it is very good having had back in 2008 the allimportant new water pump and up rated head gasket replacement with bills to prove. The current owner has also recently replaced the alternator and battery. Interior is also very good with everything functioning as designed. General mechanics brakes transmission etc are all stated to be very good. On the road these MGs really come to life the TF was the replacement for the much maligned F model featuring not only redesigned body work but more importantly it ditched the earlier models hydrogas suspension for conventional springs this along with a 20% increase in stiffness engineered into the shell completely transformed the way ward handling these cars were famous for. Then MG up rated the engine camshafts and air intake system to give it more power and Hey presto! The car it should have been in the first place. A good sports car deserving of the name MG. They are still stunning value for money even with the recent increase in value bought on by the secret getting out that these TFs are actually a very good sports car one that is not only good looking and quick enough to have fun in but also easy to live with and backed up by one of the biggest Car clubs in the world. They will not be this price again so grab one while you can is our advice.

Nissan Micra Mk1 Automatic 1992 This stunning condition and now rare Nissan Micra is the original One Lady from New registered keeper car with only an exceedingly low recorded mileage of 22172 on the clock!! Being a MK1 (K10) Micra that was first registered in February 1992 it has to be one of the last of the original shaped cars registered here in the UK as the more rounded Mk2 (K11) was launched early in 1992. Coming with its original bill of sale the only things that are not the original parts on the car from new are the bumpers. These have been replaced due to minor parking dings all be it with genuine parts sourced from Germany. It has had mats in the front from new so the carpets have no wear and according to the vendor to their knowledge the back seats have never been used!! To make it even rarer its an Automatic with the 1200cc engine compared to most which were the 1000cc motor with a manual box. Mechanically it is stated as being excellent in all areas it has just driven it up from Devon with no problem and thats probably the longest journey in its life and equal to the total mileage travelled between MOTs some years. Exterior is excellent all round and appearing to of not had any paintwork in its time. The interior is stated to be Unbelievably mint and judging by the pictures this is not wrong! Its just as it was when new in a showroom waiting to be collected. Early 90s Japanese cars in this condition rarely come to market let alone cars such as Micras that were used as family cars city cars school run cars and eventually after being worked to a hairs breath of existence hand me down cars for the son or daughters first car which invariably ended their existence ignobly. When was the last time you saw one in any condition let alone the condition this one is. No it is not a 500 special but it is Special and a real survivor.

Bedford CF Camper Van 1976 One Former owner This one former owner classic 1976 Bedford Camper takes you back in time to when Campers really were that one up from sleeping under canvas not a house on wheels. There is something charming about it with its instantly recognised front this was after all only second to the Transit in popularity where vans were concerned. Like the transit they were available in just about everybody style you could imagine but even back then Camper Conversions were rare due to their price and what with the environment attacking the low quality metal that manufacturers used in the seventies from the outside and fluid spills children family pets etc attacking the inside few campers survived. When did you last see one? This very presentable example has less than 9000 miles recorded on the clock and its vendor says he has no reason to not believe this. Having collected it from its owners house himself. The online MOT history shows back to July 2006 when it had recorded 7503 miles so no matter what it has travelled less than 1500 miles in the last 12 years! Recently recommissioned inside and out its interior is very period and as it was built no micro waves here but what was the norm for 1976. Note: ALL APLIANCES MAY OR MAY NOT WORK AND SHOULD BE FULLY TESTED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON PRIOR TO USE. The exterior has been tidied recently and is now very bright and presentable and has the rarer to find fixed high top giving plenty of room to stand inside and helping to give a nice airy feel. The soft cushions seem to be a bit mixed and matched but are in good condition Its 2 liter petrol engine runs very sweetly its gearbox clutch brakes etc are all said to be good. On arrival with him the vendor removed the brakes they were draging from lack of use and in his own words They were like new in there! It now drives very tight like you would expect from a vehicle with so little miles So with a little TLC there is no reason not to be out and about in it soon and enjoying classic motoring in what is now a very rare classic camper.

Vespa Piaggio T5 Classic 1997 From its one off Jack Daniels themed black paintwork to its recently fitted Polini 177cc engine tuning kit set off by a SIP performance exhaust this very pretty and now quick 1997 Vespa Piaggio T5 Classic attracts attention where ever it goes. Within the last year its owner has fitted new tyres new wheel rims new clutch and new brakes so it stops and handles as it should with the tyres and brakes now up to the extra performance given by the engine tuning. There is no damage to any of the panels and that deep gloss black paint shines very nicely. Chrome is all good and the seat is undamaged. On the road the first thing you notice apart from the exhaust note is the extra acceleration given by the 177cc tuning kit (NOTE: Still registered as a 125cc Scooter so this needs to be changed by the next keeper if using it on the road this bike is NOT 125cc Learner legal). Mechanically everything is described as good. This is a properly sorted scooter that is ready to be used for this season at all the various ride outs and classic meetings. These are timeless with good ones few and far between. Reserve has been set at a very sensible price and there is a current MOT until February 2018 .

Rover P5B 3500 Automatic 1973 First registered in February 1973 this glorious example of what some people say is Rover Car Companies post war finest car and produced before the influence of Leylands ownership of the name. Presented in the rare Silver Birch this Rover P5B was built when Rovers were known for their build quality. The P5B being the first Rover to have the newly acquired from Buick 3500cc aluminium V8 under the bonnet. So now you had the looks and an engine capable of moving it at a pace as well. Production of the P5 ceased in 1973 so BOD606L must be one of the last to be produced. Coming with an extensive history file this shows times when various restoration work to the body have been professionally carried out there is a bill totalling 1500 back in 1991 for panel work and painting then one in 2014 for recommissioning having been off the road again. Plus masses more including a lot of old MOTs and service bills all helping to back up the very low recorded mileage showing only 81542 today. The body work is still very nice with no signs of rust etc very straight and clean. There are a couple of window lower seals that are perished on the l/h side the r/h ones looked to of been replaced. The Rostyle chrome and black wheels are in good order while the tyres have recently been replaced all be with modern profile ones that do however help with the road holding and noise. The chrome on the bumpers has recently been renewed so is in very good order. The rest of the exterior bright work is all present and in good condition. Interior is good there are one or two areas that could be improved on but still a very nice cabin to be seated in. Mechanically everything is described as good with the engine starting easily every time without effort no smoke or rattles just that nice V8 purring away. The gearbox is smooth in operation and brakes etc work very well. These P5s were not a sports car more a gentlemans carriage and driven as such they are very smooth and cover distances quickly and in comfort. Today they are much sought after not only by enthusiasts and collectors of the Marque but by lovers of classic cars that can be used and enjoyed as a daily classic. Currently with an MOT until 27th of June so ready to be driven home by its next lucky owner.

MGB GT LE Roadster 1981 This March 1981 example MGB LE is one of the last 420 Special edition MGs made complete with its gold LE stripes and Triumph Stag looking alloy wheels (only 212 cars were fitted with alloy wheels). Bought by the current owner a couple of years back as a present to him and his wife something they could take a drive in together and enjoy some roof down classic motoring drive to the shows in etc. Like all good plans this never really happened with less than 600 miles covered since 2013 so now its time for it to go to a new owner to use and enjoy. Prior to his purchase it had been through a body off restoration and is still excellent today just one or two very small areas that might need attention in the near future. Interior wise the standard LE orange and brown striped cloth interior has been tastefully retrimmed into a more subdued black leather with white piping with new carpets throughout all in very good order. Its soft top hood is in good condition and the toneau cover for when its down is with the car again in good condition. Mechanically the engine runs perfectly. The transmission received a new clutch in 2012 and the over drive function on the manual gearbox functions correctly. The general mechanics of the car are stated to be very good as are the electrics that work as they should. There is a new MOT through to 7th of April 2018 and the car comes with its owners hand book some bills and old MOTs. Rare on the market and very collectable these LE MGBs are much sought after with prices going up at a rate of knots. This one has been looked after over the years and has a sensible mileage of 95K on the clock and is being offered with a reserve that is more than fair considering its condition so representing a good opportunity to all . NOTE: More Pictures to Follow.

Saab 9000i Carlsson 1990 The last of the three Saabs we have on offer from the same collection is the rarest. Now with only 18 examples left registered as on the road this lovely white June 1990 registered Saab 9000i Carlsson is a very unusual sight. Named after Mr Saab himself Eric Carlsson rose to rally fame by winning several rallies as a Saab works driver. This particular car also has the even rarer and more desirable flat front to its bodywork. Powered by a turbo charged DOHC 16 valve 1985cc engine giving a quoted 204 BHP delivered through the front wheels via a 5 speed manual gearbox performance is good with a sub 7 seconds 0 to 60 claimed at the time. The current owner/collector has had this car as his road car for the last 8 years this was his Go To car for long journeys to Europe etc always reliable and enjoyable to drive especially as the Carlsson came with all the usual luxuries of a top line Saab but also has a very comfortable Leather and Alcantara trimmed interior electric mirrors adjustable headlamp height cruise control a rear sun blind and a rare electric sun roof plus integrated Saab CD player and a working climate control system that has been converted to modern day gas. Coming with an extensive record of service and workshop work and with 129363 miles on the clock mechanically everything is very good with the engine and gearbox still giving the same sort of punch as designed back in the 80s. Body work is very good with all the special Carlsson body kit in place. Interior is very good and all electrics functioning as designed. Outside its special Aero alloy wheels are in good shape with excellent tyres. This extremely rare hard to find in this condition car is MOTd through to July 2017 having passed its last MOT with no advisories and had little use since. So whether a fan of the brand a collector of 80s performance saloons or just someone looking for a classic car they can use while it increases in value this is one you should definitely consider.

Saab 9000i Manual 1990 Following on with our Saab Theme is this very nice and totally original 1990 Saab 9000i MK1 with only 71000 on the clock! Powered by the non Turbo 2.3 Litre engine with a 5 speed manual gearbox the 150 horses this engine produces might not have the punch of the Turbo cars but what it lacks in brute power it gains in smoothness and tractability while still being able to match most modern cars in its class. Seating 5 occupants easily and capable of covering long journeys in comfort. The vendor describes this car as a 100% genuine honest car that drives like a dream and one that flew through its last MOT in February without a single advisory good for any car let alone one this old. Body work is in very good condition all over with very few marks or scratches. While being a MK1 it has the more classic flat front that is much preferred. The original alloy wheels are all in good order and tyres have plenty of life left in them yet.

Saab 9000i Manual 1990 Following on with our Saab Theme is this very nice and totally original 1990 Saab 9000i MK1 with only 71000 on the clock! Powered by the non Turbo 2.3 Litre engine with a 5 speed manual gearbox the 150 horses this engine produces might not have the punch of the Turbo cars but what it lacks in brute power it gains in smoothness and tractability while still being able to match most modern cars in its class. Seating 5 occupants easily and capable of covering long journeys in comfort. The vendor describes this car as a 100% genuine honest car that drives like a dream and one that flew through its last MOT in February without a single advisory good for any car let alone one this old. Body work is in very good condition all over with very few marks or scratches. While being a MK1 it has the more classic flat front that is much preferred. The original alloy wheels are all in good order and tyres have plenty of life left in them yet. Its grey velour interior is again all original and in very good condition while all electrical equipment operates correctly and in the boot while not needed are some spare parts for the car and will come with it.

Range Rover 4.0 litre 1999 First Registered in March 1999 this very good condition 4.0 litre Range rover has just come out of long term company ownership since 2009 unfortunately its service history and hand book pack has been lost so although it is only showing 106K on the odometer apart from all the old Mot certificates dating back to 2008 where it shows the very low usage (95309 miles) there is no way of proving what the vendor considers to be correct the low mileage on the car. Having said that take a look round the body work and you will soon see that apart from a small dent on the front l/h wing caused very recently where the car was stored hence why now up for auction the body is in very good order. The dark blue paintwork polishes nicely and give the car an air of class. Interior is the same no rotten worn out and baggy drivers seat as is the norm on these cars. All very nice no not perfect as the car has been used but nothing that would need instant attention. The electrics all appear to work (Note : drivers window while operating correctly does make a noise as it closes fully if you hold the button up this also causes the information display to tell you this). Comes with both its key fobs but only one works. Mechanically described as very good. The important air suspension operates as designed and the engine is excellent starting easily with no smoke or untoward noises and giving a nice mellow V8 sound through the aftermarket exhaust. The switchable automatic gearbox functions correctly in all modes and d the transmission is quiet in operation. All in all a whole lot of car for not a lot of money These P38 range Rovers do represent excellent value on the Classic 4_4 Car Market at the moment. With early series Range Rovers fast pricing themselves out of the market for all but a few P38 prices are rising but still offer an affordable alternative.

Lancia Flavia Coupe 1800 Injection 1966 This one owner from new 1966 1800cc Lancia Flavia Coupe has been owned by the same person from new and has a genuine 60000 kms on the clock warranted by its owner a Swiss solicitor spending its life being used when he was staying at his chateau in Switzerland when he used to like to take part in time trial rallies etc in it . As such it has led a cosseted life. Not a restored car though so things like the original leather interior is showing its age no massive damage just the odd nick and needing recolonising. The dash and instrumentation are in good order. Carpets and roof lining are also all good. Its beautiful Pininfarina coupe body is very good and virtually rust free with the sort of lines that make these cars look so recognisable. All the chrome bumpers and trim are very good too. Mechanically it is very strong and helped in no small way by being the much nicer to drive 1800cc with fuel injection derivative giving it so much more tractability than the smaller 1500cc units. These 60s Lancias were designed by the leading design houses of their time hand built and totally over engineered. Ironically the very things that bought about Lancias eventual capitulation to Fiat are the very things that make them so sought after today. Prices for these cars are up and take it from us with serious speculators and collectors now looking at them as investments and worth while additions to their collections if you want one now is the time to buy while you still can. Supplied with its original papers to allow you to register it on age related plates here in the Uk once recomissioned and ready for the road. NOTE: The vendor tells us Unfortunately the exhaust is damaged and will need replacement when recomissioning the car

Mercedes 190E 2.0 Auto Having been off the road for a few years now due to medical problems the vendor of this very solid November 1988 first registered Mercedes 190 has decided that his eye sight will not improve to allow him to drive so its time for it to go. Its grey exterior while very dusty at the time of being pictured is very solid with just some minor scratches etc and will polish well. Unusual in red against the grey exterior the interior is in good order throughout needing little more than a clean to brighten it up. Mechanically its 2 litre engine and automatic gearbox are good the engine showing good oil pressure on startup and while running. Having been off the road since 2012 there is no MOT but the vendor will be placing a fresh MOT on the car prior to auction so all electrical and mechanical items pertinent to an MOT will be working and in good order. But due to it standing for so long we would recommend a level of recommissioning prior to use Now probably one of the best starter classics available on the market today these 190s are often said to be the last of the over engineered Mercedes to be produced. Robust mechanics and a very solid body helping them to outlive many other cars of their era and making them an easy car to maintain for the amateur enthusiast.

Mini Clubman Estate 1293cc 1980 This delightful 1980 Mini Clubman Estate was subject to some major cosmetic work a few years back circa 2004. In its file are a stack of photos showing the extent of the work done to the shell fully striped all areas requiring replacement were replaced then reassembled as we see it today and painted this rather pleasant cream colour with a contrasting black roof. Also in the paper work is correspondence with the DVLA from 2009 where a replacement engine was fitted and the owner had the V5 changed to show the new number and correct engine size of 1293cc. We can only assume that the A+ series engine that was a 1275cc unit has been over bored to the new larger capacity but have further proof of this. What we can say is that the engine starts instantly and sounds very purposeful Delivering what is described as surprising performance? The gear box is good with no unusual whines and the clutch functions correctly. Around the same time this work was done a lot of interior work was carried out including a nice dash being fitted. We can see from the MOT history the replacement speedometer changed the recorded mileage from 95K in November 2007 to 49K in 2008 so obviously the current odometer showing 56K is incorrect. A few years on now the body work is still good just one or two small areas that may need some attention in the near future. Interior is nice although the head lining has come loose in places and the current MOT is through to 16th of February 2018. 2Classic shaped minis of all shapes and sizes are now very desirable and Clubman Estates are a rare sight. Offered here with a sensible reserve its ready to go to its new owner to enjoy.
