1980 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SHADOW
ONLY 3,800 MILES FROM NEW

Honey Gold over Walnut, This is not a misprint, only 3800 miles from new ! Supplied by Mann Eggerton in January 1980, to her first custodian, a wealthy lady property heiress, who covered just 1500 miles in 5 years of ownership. The car then passed to her second and only keeper in January 1985, supplied again by Mann Eggerton, Herts, with sales invoice still present in the cars history file. The car was used extremely sparingly, covering minimal miles during summer months over the next 14 year period, gaining a full hydraulic service by RR&B of Bromsgove in 1999, before being laid up in dry storage in a cocoon ever since ! Now having received a thorough re commissioning to bring back to life, this car just simply surpassed all expectations during test. Smooth as silk, and simply in a different league to even low mileage cars under 30k miles I have handled previously. This is as close an experience to owning a brand new Silver Shadow as you will ever come ! Simply breathtaking, for less than one tenth of the price of an Aston DB5 ! SORRY - NOW RESERVED, £59,950

1931 Sunbeam 18.2 Saloon

Price: £29,995

This is a wonderful rare find. The Sunbeam 18.2 was a bored out version of the company mainstay, the Sunbeam 16hp. The increase in bore from 67mm to 70mm gave a useful 2,398cc and was built alongside the larger engined �New 20�. The Sunbeam 18.2 is accepted by the VSCC in their PVT (Post Vintage Thoroughbred) list showing just how well respected this model really is and expanding the wide range of events in which it can be used.This fabulous, original example was first registered on the 25th July 1931 and delivered new to a Mr Ramsey of Huyton, near Liverpool where the car spent thirty six years. GP 7592 changed hands for the first time in 1967, moving across Liverpool to Wallasey staying with its second owner 43 years. The car has wonderful provenance, not just having two owners in almost seventy years, but in also retaining a mechanical history since August 1932 when the car had 11,164 miles. The mechanical log records a complete overhaul by Challis of Manchester between the 2nd November and 10th December 1959 and records for ongoing maintenance run to 1967. The rare Sunbeam was unused from 1970 to 2010 and since 2010 the car has been treated to a top end engine overhaul including new valves, springs and guides. The sump has been removed, bearings checked, the brakes overhauled, seals and hoses replaced and the water pump modified. The Sunbeam has an almost complete tool kit including a Sunbeam tyre pump which looks unused, original handbook, Autovac booklet and some lovely original documentation including the mechanical notes since 1932, original 'buff' logbook and MOT's back to 1965. The Sunbeam is substantially original, even the paintwork although the wings were restored in 1967. Also in 1967 the carpets were replaced and the wheels painted.

Finding a car of this age so original is difficult these days. This has to be one of the most original 1930's cars we have owned and it has so much charm and patina. The car is in remarkably strong condition, likely as a direct result of the meticulous maintenance during the cars years in use. The first owner had been meticulous in keeping the vehicle records up to date and during its time off the road from 1970, the Sunbeam was dry stored and kept in fine fettle. GP 7295 has an excellent strong chassis and underside, solid bodywork, largely original paintwork that shows its age yet does not detract from what is a wonderful beautiful car. The car has been treated to some brightwork over the years and has recently been fitted with new tyres. The interior is wonderful with a delightful patina. The upholstery is a clear indication of how well the car has been cared for and maintained. The inside of the Sunbeam retains quality, luxury and a wonderful honest feel.

The Sunbeam boasts a strong engine, robust gearbox and generally very good mechanicals. Brakes have been recently overhauled, the car drives incredibly well with good performance coming from the 16hp engine and this is a pre-war that can be regularly used and has proven reliable. GP 7295 comes with a VSCC eligibility document from 2011 and is certainly capable of long distance touring and regular use. This is not a show car, but an incredibly usable Sunbeam that has to be one of the most original of its type left in existence. The car has everything in terms of originality, provenance, paperwork, reliability, usability and of course the quality and luxury coming from a top class British manufacturer of its day. This is an unrepeatable opportunity not to be missed.Finding a car of this age so original is difficult these days.

MG B Works - BRX 854B

The story of this special MGB roadster begins in 1964. Being built by Den Green and Knobby Hall in August at the MG competition shop at Abingdon and first registered on the 13th of August 1964, it was one of the first MGB roadsters built by the factory in 1964 and one of the two works rally cars. The other being BRX 853B. Both cars were entered into the 1964 Spa-Sofia-Liege Rally but unfortunately both retired with clutch problems. Both MGB’s were also entered into the 1964 RAC rally in November, with 854B being driven by John Fitzpatrick but retired after an accident. It was raced on four occasions in 1965 by its new owner, Ken Tubman and navigated by George Stefanoff. These events were the Tulip Rally, the Acropolis Rally, the Geneva Rally and the Castrol Dunabe Rally in September, it was of that year where BRX 854B posted a pleasing result of Third in Class, and 13th Overall.

Travelling extensively over Europe taking advantage of its long range fuel tank, it was on one such journey to Scotland that mechanical failure forced BRX 854B not to return home. The result was that this wonderful vehicle disappeared into enclosed garaging for some 32 years under the ownership of Mr John Sales. In 2007 and under new ownership, the B underwent a meticulous and sympathetic restoration. The work was carried out by MGB enthusiast Mark Tipping at his body shop: P & T Repairs of Byfleet. Following the completion of the restoration the car was unveiled by Steven Skinner at a re-launch of the historic MGB at Goodwood Motor Circuit on Wednesday 12th March 2008.

The body is the original works MGB monocoque with aluminium, wings, door skins, bonnet, boot lid and works hardtop with Mini Van roof vent. The refurbished cockpit boasts orignal seats and dashboard with all auxiliary switches as fitted in 1964. Under the bonnet sits the Works 3 bearing engine as fitted when it was profesionally racing.

This car has a very comprehensive history which complements a very beautiful motor vehicle.

The detailed and intricate history of the car has been compiled into a thorough report by Mr John Baggot (Motor sport historian, author and writer from Tunbridge Wells, Kent).

1988 BENTLEY EIGHT
2 Owners, Bentley Service History

This is a superb example which only became available through bereavement. The car has covered just 57,000 miles with Bentley main dealer service history, the service records detailing previous maintenance at 3027, 6057, 10142, 13445, 17385, 24249, 28397, 30492, 33938, 38901, 42455, 45249, 48549, 51918, 53030, 54376 and 55127 miles, all services having been carried out by Bentley. In addition to the stamped service book we have a collection of old MOT's for the vehicle and MOT history from VOSA. Current MOT June 2016 with no advisory notices.

Purchased in 1991 by an elderly gentleman from the original owner with just 13,000 miles, the car was retained by the gentleman until his passing in 2006. During this time the car was serviced exclusively by Bentley main agents. Upon his passing ownership was transferred to the gentleman's daughter who retained the car as a memento of her father, only recently making the decision to part with the car. During her tenure the lady kept the car MOT'd and had basic servicing attended to and covered less than 2000 miles in the last ten years.

We collected this car from the owner's rural home where we were made most welcome. On inspection the engine oil was spotlessly clean and the car started instantaneously, settling down to a smooth idle with no tappet noise. On test drive the car performed faultlessly with a smooth gearchange, seamless power delivery, well controlled ride, excellent braking and no slop in the steering. We drove the car almost 200 miles back to our premises, the car cruising effortlessly at the motorway limit giving us no cause for concern whatsoever. This car has definitely not been left languishing, the owner insisting it has been taken for rural trips on a reasonably regular basis to keep it operating correctly.

Finished in striking Vermillion which looks absolutely stunning, the interior is trimmed in cream hide piped red with red top roll, cream bottom roll and red carpets which are protected by red lambs wool over rugs. The rugs have faded somewhat over the years but have protected the carpets well. The rear compartment is equipped with footstools and reading lights. This car benefits from the Mulsanne chrome grille with flying "B" emblem.

The condition of the car is quite exceptional for the age with both bodywork and interior in excellent order, the car belies it's almost 30 years of age showing minimal signs of wear and no damage to the woodwork, all very attractive indeed.

Specification of the period to include electric seats with memories, split level climate control air conditioning, Pioneer stereo with boot mounted CD changer, cruise control, town and country horns, electric windows front and rear, electric mirrors, central locking, headlamp washers, trip odometer, 15 inch alloy wheels with matching Avon Turbospeed narrow band whitewall tyres all round.

Supplied with original keys, original book pack containing owners manuals, stamped service book etc.

The vehicle will be fully prepared upon sale and supplied with a new MOT with no advisory notices. Interesting part exchange considered.

This is an exceptionally striking example in superior condition with low ownership and an excellent main dealer service record. Cars with this provenance are few and far between.

Classic Car Warehouse, prestige and performance cars, classic and modern. A family business established over 28 years, Rolls Royce and Bentley specialists.

1972 FERRARI DAYTONA RHD COUPE - 2B Consulting Automotive Ltd

1972 FERRARI DAYTONA RHD COUPE

Conceived by Enzo Ferrari and "penned" within just seven days by Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti (also responsible for both the Dino and subsequent 308GTB), the 365 GTB/4 Berlinetta was Ferrari SPA's replacement for the outgoing 275GTB/4. Viewed by many as the embodiment of all that is Ferrari - style, power and reliability - the Scaglietti bodied coupe and spyder designs were the recipients of an all new three hundred and fifty-two brake horsepower, 4.4 litre V12 engine (designated the "tipo 251"), mated to a transaxle with an integral five-speed manual gearbox.

On its debut at the 1968 Paris Auto Salon, the 365GTB/4 was dubbed the “Daytona” by the world’s press, celebrating Ferrari’s 1-2-3 success at the 1967 running of the Floridian endurance race, the Daytona 24hrs. Maranello’s acknowledgement of the nickname wasn’t forthcoming …but the name stuck.

Early production 365GTB/4's featured fixed headlights behind an acrylic glass cover (plexi-glass), which were replaced in 1971 on safety grounds (more especially for the US market) by retractable, pop-up, twin headlights. Between 1967 and 1973, records detail approximately twelve hundred and eighty-four coupes, and one hundred and twenty-two spyders were delivered to global markets. The first RHD coupe was delivered in 1970 to the UK - chassis #12853.

Ordered by Maranello Concessionaires Limited on order no #594, dated 9/5/72. #15975 was specified with a Blue Dino metallizzato exterior (106.A.72), a blu VM3015 interior, a tipo tool-kit and air-conditioning.

Dispatched from Maranello on 26/7/72; this RHD chassis (one of just one hundred-and-fifty-eight Daytona coupe’s delivered to the UK market) was delivered to Hexagon of Highgate, London N6 on 11/8/72.
