the country and is a unique opportunity for any collector. Supplied with

1972 Ford Escort RS 1600
According to a number of reliable sources, there are reputed to be
less than 50 RS1600s registered or SORN in the UK and only around 1,137
were ever produced in total.
This example was first registered in the UK on 11th
February 1972 and was purchased by the current owner approximately three
years ago. He has kept the car in a dehumidified garage and cherished
this extremely collectable road-going example. The speedometer is
reading 3,490 miles, which is the total mileage covered since this car
underwent a ground up restoration. There are bills in the history file
from renowned marque expert Andy Stapley Motorsport and the car will be
supplied with a fresh MoT certificate for the auction.
It is most unusual to find a road specification example finished to
such a high standard. The Le Mans Green paintwork is superb with
excellent shut lines and has been completed to a very high standard. The
interior is completely standard and correct, and the engine bay is
spotless. Don’t miss a fantastic opportunity to own what may well be the
finest RS1600 available.
Estimate (£): 45,000 - 55,000

1985 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo
One of the defining supercars of the 1970s and 1980s, the Porsche
911 930 Turbo was one of the fastest production cars available at the
time. This example shows a mere warranted 25,571 miles from new
supported by previous MoT records and SORN Records as detailed in the
cars history file.
Presented in its factory correct Black/A1A1 paint colour, the car
was originally delivered with Black leather interior, however, we are
lead to believe that its current White leather interior was fitted by
the car's second owner in the early years of its life. In 2013 the
engine was stripped and rebuilt along with the fitment of a new clutch
by WrighTune Ltd to insure all was as it should be
This car poses an excellent opportunity to acquire a low mileage example of one of the fastest appreciating 911s on the market.
Estimate (£): 58,000 - 64,000

1962 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 Fixedhead Coupe
The Series 1 3.8 Fixedhead Coupe is seen by many as the most
desirable E-Type for its pure lines and sumptuous curves. The example
offered here is an original UK right-hand drive 3.8 Fixedhead Coupe,
presented in the elegant colour combination of Opalescent grey with grey
leather.
First registered on 15th March 1963, this E-Type shows a
mere five previous owners on the log book. It was purchased by the
current owner in 2008 and has been cherished in a Carcoon dehumidified
environment ever since. Invoices in the history file suggest the car was
restored between 2000 and 2004 and now the restoration has mellowed
nicely. The engine head and block are matching numbers and the car
retains the original 4-speed Moss gearbox.
Finished in lovely order throughout, this most desirable of E-Types is now ready to be enjoyed by its next owner with a fresh MoT test certificate.
