2009 Ferrari F430 Scuderia
We are delighted to be offering this F430 Scuderia; a modern
supercar that has covered a miniscule 85km from new. Incredibly rare, it
is presented in its original colour of Grigio Medio 791 with an unusual
interior in full Alcantara red leather. What’s more, this particular
Scuderia is, to date, the only one made by Ferrari in that exterior and
interior combination.
Estimate (£) – 230,000 - 250,000

1975 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI Coupe
Collectors after a Porsche will not be disappointed by the 1975
Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI Coupe. With just one owner from new, this
highly original UK right-hand drive example represents an exciting
restoration project for Porsche collectors, as very rarely do cars of
this nature and originality come onto the market. The beautifully thin
Lime Green Metallic finish has faded almost down to bare metal and is a
joy to behold in detail. The car has covered just 55,450 miles, and is
believed to be one of only 117 examples produced in right-hand drive.
Estimate (£) – 95,000 - 110,000

1994 Jaguar XJ220
With 0-60mph acceleration in a brutal 3.5 seconds, the XJ220 was
indisputably the fastest road car on the planet at the time of
production.
Presented in striking Silverstone green with a sand leather
interior, this XJ220 is perhaps the finest example on the market today
and is supplied with the original owner's service manuals and tool kit,
as well as a UK V5C registration document. One of only 275 examples
produced, the car is a powerhouse motor indeed and offers genuine
200+mph performance at a fraction of the cost of its contemporaries.

1994 Ferrari F512 M
Having sold a low mileage Testarossa back in February for a world
record price, we are delighted to offer this F512 M in our May Sale.
Just two owners from new have enjoyed this highly collectable, matching
numbers and rare car which has covered 11,000 miles from new.
This particular left hand drive car was supplied new to the German
market via their dealer, Tamsen, in 1994 finished in Giallo Modena with
Nero leather upholstery. The car was then sold on by the first owner to
Japan from where it has recently returned with a comprehensive service
history. It comes to the sale complete with three keys, service books,
toolbox, flash light and Tubi Exhaust.
Estimate (£) – 280,000 - 300,000

1952 Land Rover Series I 80”
Among the British classics on offer is this 1952 Land Rover Series I
80” that has undergone a full nut and bolt restoration by world
authority Ken Wheelwright, who was chosen as one of the Land Rover
factory's preferred restorers, supplying them with two Series I Land
Rovers in dark bronze green that have featured on television programmes
worldwide.
Sold complete with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust
certificate and a fresh MoT, this 80" Land Rover Series I has every box
ticked. Restored by an award winning world authority, trusted by Land
Rover themselves and presented in concours condition in the period
correct deep bronze green, this car is the most desirable variant of the
Land Rover and will add the finishing touch to any collection.
Estimate (£) – 26,000 - 28,500

1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Barn Find
This two door convertible is one of the last of the line and was
sold new in Paris in 1962. The first owner then kept it for eight years
and it has remained in single family ownership from that changeover in
1970 to today.
From 1977 at a time when the recorded mileage was, and still is,
just 73,000kms, this car was laid up and forgotten about. Only recently
was the car ‘rediscovered' and the family decision was made to sell. To a
skilled craftsman this would be a far from daunting project as it is
actually in very good condition for its age, with only light rust in
places but not rotten. As well, the red leather interior is almost
completely salvageable with no cracks or tears in the seating.
Rarely do such opportunities present themselves to restore such a remarkable, timeless classic.
Estimate (£) – 44,000 - 50,000

1991 Alfa Romeo SZ
In keeping with our reputation for offering best-of-breed examples,
we are delighted to once again be presenting an exceptionally low
mileage SZ with just 860 kilometres covered from new.
The car currently belongs to a Doctor from a prominent Spanish
family and usually resides with him in Ibiza; a location befitting the
style of the car. The condition of this example almost defies belief
with the supple leather seats, steering wheel and gear knob all but
untouched. Care has clearly been taken in the storage of this vehicle
since the Sun has not impacted on the paint finish.
Guided sensibly, at a time when this special Alfa's place in
history is finally being recognised, the limited production SZ is an
important chapter in the long running story of collaboration between
Alfa Romeo and Zagato.
Estimate (£) – 55,000 - 65,000

2006 BMW M3 C S 46
Known as the "Competition Package", this car is one of just 275
genuine UK right hand drive cars and was originally part of a private
collection from new and has had just two owners since.
Finished in Silver Grey with black leather upholstery it has
covered just 18,000 miles and comes to our sale with a comprehensive
service history.
A sure fire classic of the future that can be bought now before prices take off!
Estimate (£) – 18,500 - 22,000

The car was originally thought to have covered just 7,700 miles
from new. However, over the last few weeks the original service history
has now been located confirming the car has infact covered 107,700
miles. The car has been revalued accordingly and is offered with a
current MOT, original registration documents and V5C, Jaguar Heritage
certificate and complete history file.
Estimate (£): 35,000 - 40,000
