Offered up for sale we have perhaps one of the most iconic cars of the eighties, finished in the legendary John Player Special livery this Lotus Esprit S3 Turbo is a true show stopper. The S3 Turbo Esprit was the posterchild of the yuppie brigade! Sitting in and driving this car takes you back to a time of big hair, big sunglasses and shoulder pads, big spoilers and in this case, big turbos! The vehicle has serious pace for a car of its age, once the big turbo spools up the boost pins you in your bucket seat. It is almost obligatory to have the period Blaupunkt stereo permanently tuned into Duran Duran! The vehicle spent a number of years in dry storage before undergoing a full two-year restoration, the hard work and attention to detail is obvious and the car is as good underneath as it is on top. The car features some personalized cosmetic enhancements such as a full body de-seam and roof rail delete, which really accentuate Guigaro’s design and lines. This Esprit S3 is already a classic within its own right, covering only 56,000 miles from new its not only rare but highly sought after. The cars origins are further backed up by a genuine Lotus certificate of provenance accompanied by a supporting letter. With only 4 owners since 1984 and an MOT until August next year this is a perfect useable classic that’s very capable of turning heads wherever you go. The unique 80’s styling has cemented its place in history and the price on these vehicles is only on the way up with good examples like our car appreciating every year. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly awesome classic Lotus. The gold coloured BBS wheels have been fully refurbished and shod with brand new rubber. Various rubber trims have been renewed and an in-depth mechanical run through undertaken. She is now ready to grace any collection, indulge the boy hood fantasy or just hit the open road and boost towards the horizon in pure 80’s style.

1934 ASTON MARTIN MkII SPECIAL SPORTS SALOON

£195,000

Introduced in 1934, the Mark II was Aston-Martin’s replacement for the Le Mans model. It sported a new stronger chassis and an improved engine with the counter-balanced crankshaft. Originally available in either short or long wheelbase versions, the shorter version is mechanically virtually identical to the famous Ulster racing car, one of which came 3rd overall at the Le Mans 24 hour race in 1935. A number of MK II cars competed in the period and the competition lineage can be clearly seen in the MK II making it an extremely capable and fast car, suitable for the rally, touring and even racing events. The long chassis version only differs from the short by the length of a foot well for the rear seats thus turning them into very usable cars for 4 people.

Chassis number L4/524/L has a well-known history stretching back to 1936, only two years after it was sold as a new car when it was entered in the RAC Rally by its first owner F A Rhodes, receiving a 2nd Class Award. A copy of the factory record card lists one F Angell of Holcombe Garage, Leeds as the next owner (from 1947) while a notebook records Dr A S W Egerton of Wallasey, Cheshire as the owner from 1955.

Some years later, in the 1970s, this car was one of a pair of Aston-Martins owned by Dr Dudley Heath with sequential chassis numbers, the other Aston Martin was Ulster 'L4/525/U'. Both cars are featured in Michael Bowler's book 'Aston Martin – The Legend'. Dr Heath displayed 'CML 242' at various Concours events, albeit with a redesigned boot enclosing the rear wheel. In 1983 the car featured in Automobile Quarterly (Vol. XXI No.4) and on the poster 'Aston Martin – The Pre-war Years'. A copy of this poster is in the Ecurie Bertelli Archive.

After Victor Gauntlett took over Aston Martin, he acquired 'CML 242' as he had hopes of assembling a collection of every model that the company had made. Soon realizing that this was a hopeless ambition, he donated the car to the Great Ormond Street Hospital Wishing Well Appeal charity auction of 1988 where it failed to sell. Soon after, the Aston was acquired by the current vendor, at which time it had a recorded mileage of around 81,000, believed genuine.

The car was in poor condition; the sunroof had been filled in with plaster, all the windows had had lugs brazed onto them and were screwed into the bodywork, and the stanchions inside the bonnet had been cut down with a hacksaw so that a gravity-feed fuel tank could be installed. The spare wheel had been repositioned inside the car, which gave it a much smoother boot profile but weakened the body, as the main timber had to be cut away to make room. As a result, the door pillars were bulging outwards. There was also a fair amount of rot in the frame.

In 1989, a rebuild of the body and chassis was commenced by Messrs J&B Young. An original body (taken from a saloon that had been cut down to make an Ulster replica) was found; this had all the correct window fittings and a sunroof. Its frame was skinned in aluminium to complete a replacement saloon body, with the spare wheel in its original position and all six windows opening. The rebuild was completed in 1993.

The engine was also in poor condition, registering just 10psi oil pressure at cruising speed, but the car completed several Club tours to Europe in this state, and in 1997 covered 2,000 miles from Vancouver via the Rockies to Monterey, where the owner entered it for the Pebble Beach Concours. It won its class. The engine was then rebuilt. 'CML 242' is still used occasionally, and in April this year successfully completed a three-day tour of Devon.

Available to view and test at the Ecurie Bertelli purpose-built showroom and restoration facility. Please contact Andy Bell or Robert Blakemore for more details.
