3 A 1955 Ford Consul, registration number TYB
602, green. TYB 602 is a low mileage (believed
85,000 miles from new), three owner car, which
has resided in the Somerset and Dorset areas since
being registered to its first owner, a Mr Brian
David Kervil, of Highgate House, Wells. Mr
Kervil would retain the car for a number of years,
before passing the car on to Mr Kevin White, who
resided at the same address. The current lady
owner acquired TYB 602 a few years ago in
garage stored condition. The car was subsequently
recommissioned with new wheel cylinders and
brakes, all new ignitions components, rechromed
front and rear bumpers by SMT to show standard,
and a thorough service was carried out. The

4 A 1976 Bristol 603 prototype, registration
number WGO 926R, chassis number 7900000,
Copper Beech metallic. This desirable 603
prototype has been partially restored by Bristol
Cars before the company went into receivership.
The car was stripped by Jeff Marsh's team and the
body was subsequently restored and repainted in
Copper Beech metallic at a cost of £12,000 (the
original colour was blue and the car featured on
the official Bristol 603 sales brochure). 7900000 is
offered for auction with two sets of seats and most
of the other interior fittings. Unfortunately neither
the engine or gearbox are with the car, but as these
are relatively common and easy to obtain, this
should not hinder the progress of the restoration.
This prototype Bristol offers the next owner an
exciting opportunity to complete the car to their
own specification and once finished they will have
a unique and historically significant vehicle. V5C,
no MOT or tax See illustration Sold for £4300

18 A 1972 Marcos 3 litre coupé, registration
number WWC 139L, chassis number ECC1299,

chassis Marcos, all previous cars incorporated a
wooden chassis to support the running gear and
glass fibre bodies. With the introduction of Ford's
V6 engine into the sexy Adams designed body a
true GT car was born, with power to match those
racing car looks. This particular Marcos has been
in the same family ownership since 1990. It was
purchased for the vendor's brother and exported to
his home in Parma, Italy. It would remain there for
the next 23 years, remaining garaged and unused
for the majority of that time, before being reimported back to England by the vendor in 2013.
On arrival the vendor has overseen a thorough
programme of recommissioning, including
installing a reconditioned radiator, fan,
carburettors and filter, new air ducts, front wheel
mud guards, thermostat, control box, battery,
brake master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder,
accelerator cable, spark plugs and points, front
brake calipers and flexible hoses, front indicators,
rear brake balancing kit, carpets, pedal rubbers,
dynamo, door window motors, clutch and a

stylish and increasingly sought after model comes
to auction with a history file containing receipts
for the recommissioning works, the 1990 bill of
sale, previous service history, Italian customs

back his old Series II. V5C, MOT and tax exempt
(taxed) See illustrations
22 A 1980 Mini Clubman estate, registration
number GAM 938W, black. From the last year of
production this Clubman estate was in storage
from 1990 until a comprehensive rebuild was
carried out during 2013. The vendor believes that
the recorded mileage of 26,000 miles could be
correct due to the length of time the Mini was in
storage, but unfortunately there is not sufficient
paperwork to substantiate this. A rare classic
estate, fresh from a thorough restoration now
awaits a new enthusiastic owner. V5C, MOT to
December 2014, taxed See illustration Sold for
£3000
23 EXTRA LOT: A 1963 Standard Ensign

spare parts to help maintain or restore another car.

to be genuine. The interior has good clean and unripped seats, the engine turns over freely and the
car rolls without the brakes binding. V5C, no

cloth interior. It is fitted with an electric sunroof,

walnut centre console and dashboard, and stereo
system. The Mercedes is offered for auction with
full Mercedes and specialist service history, all

twin port injection model with front mounted
radiator, has a host of other improvements,
including factory specification Monte Carlo style
spotlights, a wooden dash board and wide sports
wheels. This Mini comes to the market now due
to the death of the registered keeper. The vendor
informs us that the car started easily after the
fitting of a new battery. V5C, MOT to July 2015,
no tax See illustration Sold for £6800
25 A 1949 Land Rover Series I 80 inch,
registration number JM 8199, blue. This early
Series I comes with a BMIHT certificate stating
that R-8-6-2400 was produced for the home
market, built on 2nd February 1949 and dispatched
on 3rd February 1949 to Messers H J Croft & Co
26 A 1949 Land Rover Series I 80 inch short
wheel base, registration number KOD 985, chassis
number R8666683, engine number 34305893,
green. Early Series I Land Rovers have become
very collectable in recent years, with their
handsome rugged good looks, practicality and
eligibility to all the best events, including The
Goodwood Revival. KOD 985 is just such an
example, she rolled off the production line and
was first registered on 4th July 1949. Little is
known of the Land Rover's early history until it
came into the vendor's possession in the early
1970s in very poor condition. On acquisition the
Land Rover was rebuilt and subsequently won
concours at the Land Rover National Rally
(approximately 40 years ago!). Since then the
Land Rover has been taxed for limited use (no
MOT required) and was the vendor's daily
transport on a holiday park where he was the
managing director for 25 years, travelling
approximately 20 miles per week until 2000 when
they both retired. The Land Rover has some
modifications from the standard specification,
including the fitting of a 1954 six cylinder Rover
engine, extending the front spring shackles and an
Austin 1100 radiator. All of the original
components
which
were
removed
are
accompanying the car should the next owner wish
to reinstate them. Also accompanying the car are
some useful and hard to obtain spares, including
an original hard top, starter motor, half doors,
grille, dynamo, differential, electrical and brake
components. Having been in the current ownership
for over 40 years this desirable early registered 80
inch Series I Land Rover is now ready for the next
lucky enthusiast to take over running her for the
next 40 plus years. V5C, MOT and tax exempt
See illustrations Sold for £8000
27 A believed 1960s County Commercial Cars all
terrain 4x4 prototype, green. This is really
something different! This Mini engine and
gearbox driven permanent four wheel drive off
road vehicle is believed to be a one off prototype
for a small all terrain vehicle. It was made to
evaluate the market for a small go anywhere
vehicle for hill farmers, small holders and country
estates. The vehicle is well engineered and
constructed with bespoke engineering evident in
numerous places. This small workhorse would be
a great addition to any tractor or 4x4 collection.
No accompanying paperwork See illustration Sold
for £2400
28 A 1972 Triumph Stag, registration number
EOE 122K, Triumph white with graphite hard top.
This Stag has a believed genuine mileage of
32,000 miles from new. A low ownership car
which was with the previous owner for 21 years
between 1992 and 2013. In the current ownership
the Stag has been painstakingly restored to a high
standard. There is a CD detailing the restoration
which included taking the body back to bare
metal, all corroded metal was removed and new
panels installed as necessary. The car was fully
resprayed inside and out. The engine and running
gear have similarly been restored with new
components evident in all areas, including brake
components, suspension, bushes and other items
painted and powder coated. The interior is
presented with new carpets and the original seats,
door cards, dashboard and centre console have
been cleaned and installed.

for parts for the restoration. V5C, MOT to April
2015, tax exempt (taxed) See illustration Sold for
£10000

coupé, registration number GWX 817J, Ice blue

pans and sills. GWX 817J, with its 4.2 litre engine
and four speed manual gearbox, has been retrimmed with cream leather by L A & R W Piper
at Sparkford and the interior is finished with a
wood rim steering wheel and cream carpets. The

35 A 1935 Talbot AW75 long wheelbase saloon,
registration number FO 3243, chassis number
37434, engine number 1397, blue over black. The
75 was developed from the highly successful
14/45, and with its 2.3 litre six cylinder overhead
valve engine, offered roomy, comfortable
transport at a competitive price. The Talbot 75 was
offered in two wheel base lengths, short, 114
inches, and long, 120 inches, the latter long wheel
base chassis the more expensive and substantial
being X-braced, featuring semi elliptic front and
quarter elliptic rear springs and effective brakes.
All models featured the Wilson pre-selector self
changing gearbox. This rare long wheelbase
AW75 is believed to be the only surviving
example of this model on the road today, and was
first registered on 23rd July 1935. The surviving
RF60 continuation logbook and expired tax discs
would indicate that FO 3243 was last used in 1951
and was not taxed again until 1963 when some
mechanical repairs were carried out, and an MOT
was obtained. The car was subsequently purchased
by Mr Derek Allen in 1966 from an advert placed
in Motorsport Magazine for Talbot spares. It
remained in his possession for the next 40 years on
the family farm in dry storage. This remarkably
complete and original AW75 long wheel base
saloon retains its factory coachwork. The interior
is complete and all the original fittings and
instrumentation are present. The blue leather
upholstery would benefit from some localised
repair due to mice damage. FO 3243 was
purchased by the current vendor from a
Charterhouse auction, and a programme of
improvement and recommissioning to bring the
car up to a roadworthy standard has been carried
out. The coachwork is presented in a wonderful
original state of preserved decaying grandeur and
it would be hoped that the next custodian will
maintain it in the same manner. The vendor
informs us that the roof has been restored with
Cuban mahogany and West of England cloth, and
the sliding sunroof now works correctly. The rest
of the interior is as it left the factory, with blue
leather upholstery and door cards. The engine,
gearbox and back axle have been checked and
serviced, the radiator has been recored, the brakes
relined and the wheels have been shot blasted and
powder coated, and a new exhaust fitted, plus

76 A 1948 Lea Francis 14 hp sports, German
registration document, Old English white. The 14
hp sports is a very rare bird indeed. Having been
produced for a mere two years, between 1947 and
1949, with only 118 of these fast and very stylish
roadsters finding appreciative owners. Boasting
up to the minute styling, somewhat reminiscent of
BMW-S328. They were powered by the 1.8 litre
Riley style twin cam four cylinder engine, which
gave the Lea a good turn of speed. This example

gear, in a black leather interior with fawn carpets
with bound edges. This very stylish and rare
roadster would make an elegant addition to any
collection. German logbook. See illustrations

78 A 1995 Mercedes-Benz E320 Sportline
cabriolet, registration number M824 UMO,
Tourmaline green. The E320 cabriolet is quite a
rare Mercedes model as originally only 557
examples were imported into the UK, and not all

specification. They offer stylish four seat
convertible motoring and were manufactured at a
time in Mercedes history when quality and
engineering were at their highest. This three owner
example is presented in Tourmaline green with a
full tan leather interior and has a black mohair
electric hood. The vendor informs us that there is a
full service history accompanying the car which
confirms the recorded mileage of just over
118,000 miles. He further advises us that he has
only driven the car approximately 2,000 miles in
the last year and new tyres have recently been
fitted. As Sportline cabriolets are hard to find now,
take this opportunity to grasp a top of the range
1990s Mercedes whilst you still can. V5C, MOT

85 A 1948 Jaguar Mk IV 3.5 litre sport saloon,
registration number 245 YUS, chassis number
612575, engine number S2840, maroon. The
Jaguar Mk IV is felt by many to be the epitome of
British car design of its era. The large chrome
P100 headlights, sweeping wings, luxurious
maroon interior and polished wood all speak of
the style and opulence of a past age. The Mk IV
was the first car to bear the legendary Jaguar
name, as William Lyons felt that the previous preWWII of SS was not appropriate for obvious
reasons. The model was available with three
engine options from the diminutive 1.5 litre four
cylinder to the all singing 3.5 litre straight six.
This particular, handsome, ultimate specification
3.5 litre example rolled off the production line on
16th April 1948 destined to be an export model. It
was dispatched on 5th May 1948 to Australia
where the original dealer, Brylaw Motors, supplied
it to its first owner. Little is known of the car's
history in Australia, but from the history folder it
would appear that the Jaguar has spent time in
both Japan and Singapore, before returning to
these shores in 2013. He also informs us that the
Jaguar is driving very well. This delightful postwar Jaguar is offered for sale with a Heritage
certificate, receipts for works carried out, export
and import documents, an original service manual
and correspondence. V5C, MOT and tax exempt

86 A 1957 MG A coupé, registration number 977
YUK, chassis number HMK13/26271, Chariot red.
This charming home market MG A coupé has
formed part of a small private collection. An older
restoration has mellowed with time and it has
some upgrades from the standard specification.
These include a larger 1588cc engine with a

88 A 1967 MG B roadster, registration number
NGE 300F, chassis number GH43122856, engine
number 18GBROH88038, Old English white.
MG's ever popular sports car has been part of
Britain's sporting car heritage for over 50 years.
They are still as popular with enthusiasts as they
were when they were new, and with the excellent
MG owner's club and specialist restoration and
parts suppliers this situation is likely to continue.
This beautifully restored roadster has been the
subject of a bare metal restoration. It has taken the
vendor approximately 20 years to complete, but he
informs us that there was a period of a number of
years when the restoration stalled due to life
getting in the way. During the restoration all rust
was removed and new panels were let in as
necessary, the shell was then resprayed in Old
English white. The interior was retrimmed with
black leather seats with white piping, the hood
frame was reconditioned but no hood has been
fitted as the vendor only drives the car with a
tonneau cover. All of the running gear has been
renewed or reconditioned, including a rebuilt
engine, a new wiring loom which has been
converted to negative earth and a single 12 volt
battery was installed instead of the usual 26 volt.
In fact the vendor says everything has been done
to bring the car up to a first class condition. The
MG returned to the road in 2013 and the vendor
says that it has been a pleasure to own and drive.
He also informs us that there has been
approximately £10,000 spent on parts and
professional labour, plus his own efforts to
complete the car. V5C, MOT to June 2015, tax
exempt (taxed) See illustrations
89 A 1925 Riley 11/40 12hp sports four seat
tourer, registration number DS 9184, blue over
black. The vendor informs us that some 40 years
ago this vehicle was discovered by Mr Bernie
Jacobson, (a well known and avid vintage car
collector) in the rear of a rural garage - apparently
the car had been taken there for some mechanical
repair. Bluebelle, as she had become known, was
then sent to Coachcraft, a renowned vintage car
restorer. A new body was hand crafted in
aluminium to match the original. The original
engine, gearbox, chassis, back axle and running
gear were all restored at the same time along with
a full retrim in leather and a new soft top. This
outstanding Riley with great provenance is
finished in dark blue with black wings and soft
top, complemented by a powder blue leather trim,
four speed manual gearbox and wire wheels (both
optional when new), nickel plated headlights and
radiator shell, side lights and windscreen. A spare
wheel is fitted to the rear and the rear window in
the hood is a lovely diamond shape design. The
history folder contains handbook, original
drawings and pictures, previous invoices, various
show awards, photos of the car with the owner, tax
discs, restoration images and some write-ups.

90 A 1934 MG PA Midget, registration number
AFC 634, chassis number PA/1063, engine
number 1317/PA, black. Introduced in 1934 as the
replacement for the J2, Autocar reported the new
model and described it as 'This latest model is a
marked improvement in all respects over its
forerunners' and Abbingdon claimed in their sales
brochure 'In all there are over 100 new and
improved features'. Having had favourable reports
in the motoring press the diminutive sporting MG
sold well with 1,973 examples leaving the
production line. This beautiful example from the
first year of production has been the subject of a
full and comprehensive rebuild. The previous long
term owner, a Mr C Wardle owned the MG
between 1972 and 2009. He was the gentleman
who lavished much time and effort to restore the
car into the excellent condition that it is in today.
The body is finished in black which complements
the chrome fittings and tan leather interior.
Weather protection is taken care of with a full
canvas tonneau cover, hood and side screens.
There is a large and comprehensive history file
with
receipts,
old
MOTs,
RF60
and
correspondence dating back to the 1970s. There
has been one other owner before the vendor
acquired the MG last year. During his
custodianship the vendor has had the dynamo
rebuilt at the cost of £889.24. Beautifully
presented this charming MG is ready to be enjoyed
by the next lucky owner. RF60, V5C, MOT and
tax exempt See illustrations
