1989 HEALEY Mk4
Healey MK 4 3500cc. A rare opportunity to purchase this unique piece of motoring history. Bearing chassis number 00001, this car was the successor to the iconic big Healey of the 1960s and was made with the approval of Donald Healey. This car is fitted with a 3500cc v8 Rover fuel injected engine giving 194BHP, 220 lbs/ft of torque, 5-speed gearbox, front and rear disc brakes, all independent suspension with 0-60 in 5.9 seconds and a top speed circa 140MPH. Finished in black with grey leather trim and fitted with stainless steel wire wheels, spotlights and stainless steel exhaust. This was the launch car and used for all the press coverage road testing which included tv, newspapers and magazines. This car is the only one bearing the Healey chassis plate and badges as the ownership of the trademark was disputed by Jensen which resulted in the production of these cars commencing under the HMC name.

Ace Classic Cars 
Unit A2, Pelican Works, Wakefield Road Rothwell, 
Leeds, West Yorkshire



MORRIS OXFORD SERIES Vl FARINA




This 1962 example of a Morris Oxford A60 Series lV Farina is in very good condition.

Between 2011 and 2015 over £8700 was spent on its restoration and improvement including over £3500 spent with Steve Turner, who is a recognized specialist Farina repairer and secretary of the Oxford-Cambridge Owners Club.

The work Mr. Turner completed included a full engine rebuild, a new clutch, new leaf springs, new brakes, brake master cylinder, petrol pump, clutch master cylinder, suspension bushes, and numerous other parts.

Since then it has had a full body respray at a cost of £2630 plus the cost of some new panels where needed.

The car spent 2016 in professional storage at a cost of £1195 and recently it has had a new carpet set fitted.

The history file contains the current V5, the current MOT, numerous old mot certificates, an original owners handbook, a wonderful handwritten Motor Car Expenses Book covering the first few years of its life detailing mileage covered and petrol used and a large number of invoices detailing the restoration work carried out and the parts purchased.

The current MOT runs until September 2019 although it is MOT exempt and the recorded mileage is 72119.

The car will be licensed for twelve months from the date of sale for the new owner at no cost as the car qualifies for the Historic Taxation class.

UK wide professional delivery is available. Please ring for a quote. We are also happy to deliver to any mainland port for export.

1961 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA SPRINT - Manor Classic Cars Ltd York North Yorkshire

TODAYS FEATURED DEALER

1961 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA SPRINT


A former Rally of the Tests winning steed (2017), this Alfa Romeo is the ideal entrant for Winter Challenge, Classic Marathon , Rally of the Tests, and a plethora of club and international events.
Sourced and imported from Norway in 2008, #353276 was originally restored and prepared for motorsport in 2001 by Saul Manashe in Norway.  It has been comprehensively prepared, fettled and upgraded by Kevin Savage Motorsport of Lancashire and now features full roll cage, uprated shock absorbers, an engine coolant header tank, limited slip differential, comfortable rally-grade front seats, additional instrumentation and two Cibie Oscar driving lamps.
Our car was sourced and developed for known Irish motorsport competitor, Dermot Carnegie, at a cost of more than £32,000 in 2008 with invoices detailing the considerable work undertaken and all available for viewing.   Dermot campaigned the car successfully winning the Winter Trial and Rally of the Tests in 2010, all the while having the car maintained and prepared by Savage.
Amongst the many invoices from Carnegie’s ownership, perhaps the most notable reference a gearbox rebuild in December 2010 (£3,300), and engine rebuild in November 2011 at a cost of £5,700, which resulted in a recorded 137bhp on the rolling-road.
The reins passed in 2013 to the current keeper with whom many further successes have been enjoyed, always under the watchful eye and reassurance of being Savage Motorsport maintained.
In total, there are too many invoices to do justice to the car here, but suffice to say they combine to further evidence the winning-capability of this Alfa Romeo, and those who travel to view the car will be richly rewarded by the level of detail and expertise that they document within.
Accompanied with FIVA Identity Card dated 2013, and MSA/FIA Historic Regularity Rally Log Book numbered 10/009 & signed and dated 2010, save for minor preparation works to comply with individual rally regulations, this is a turn-key competitive entrant to a host of blue-ribband events.
Priced incredibly sensibly, we dread to think what the replacement cost may be today…..
“Cars with a purpose” is our favourite stock-offering, & they don’t get much more determined than this!

1964 ASTON MARTIN DB MkIII - Adrian-Johnson Pool Road, Pool in Wharfedale Otley, nr Leeds, West Yorkshire

1964 ASTON MARTIN DB MkIII
A copy of the original build sheet for the car shows the car’s delivery to it’s first owner, Joseph Paynton on the 8th August 1959.
In 1966, the second owner, Dr Free, an enthusiast and professional engineer bought the car to replace his Svecia Red AC Bristol convertible that he had christened “Jezebel” after the 1950’s Frankie Lane hit.  This car had sadly been written off and the MK 3, was re-sprayed in Svecia Red.  The paint was obtained on special order from the AC in Thames Ditton and “Jezebel 2″ was born.
A new differential and rear axle were fitted by Whites of Maidenhead in 1967 and in 1968, Lowe’s of Whyteleaf replaced the hood with a new one in matching Svecia Red to exactly match the look of “Jezebel 1″.  Dr Free’s job took him to the USA at this time and Lowe’s arranged shipment of the car to New York where a dock strike held up arrival of the car until February 1969.

A regular at AMOC meetings and race meets in the States, the car frequently drew crowds in New York City when parked or just stopped at traffic lights.
Repainted when the owner returned to the UK in the late 1970’s, there are also photos of an AMOC line up at Brands Hatch in the early 1980’s.
The car was given to Dr Free’s son as a 21st birthday gift in 1992, but with the risk of traffic damage and the cost of insurance, the car was put under a heavy tarpaulin in the front garden where it sadly remained ever since.
Adrian Johnson Ltd acquired the car in May 2013 and a full restoration began.

Subject to a no expense spared ground up rebuild to the very highest standard by ourselves completed in November 2015. Fitted with over drive from new and finished in Elusive blue with white gold Connolly luxan leather. Possibly the very best in existence today.
“It is rare to find a car of this age with such traceable history that offers a new owner or collector the opportunity to own a unique car that has been restored to our personal high standards” – Adrian Johnson @ Adrian Johnson Ltd
