1954 Triumph TR2 Supercharged - FENDER BROAD

"CLASSIC OF THE DAY"

Featuring

   

1954 Triumph TR2 Supercharged SAF424 is an early 'long door' car from 1954. Chassis number TS529 has led a remarkable life. Collected from the Canley factory by Dr CJF Coombs in February '54 the special sports specification ordered hinted at the sporting appetite of the Bristol Doctor. Further upgrades in '55 included Derrington Manifolds and Alfin Drums preceeded the installation of an Arnott Supercharger in 1957. SAF424 was hillclimbed and raced by Tommy Taylor amongst others through the fifties and sixties before ownership passed from father to son. Carey Coombs undertook a body off restoration of SAF424 including replacing the tired Arnott Supercharger with the Shorrock fitted to the car today. Passing out of the Coombs family ownership in the eighties to 3 other collector owners before the car arrived in our collection in 2007.
Since 2007 SAF424 has been the subject of a bare metal respray back to its original black. Previous owners had changed the external colour to white but left the engine bay, boot and floors orignal black. Therefore the car has a superb patina based around excellent external paint and panels and completely original engine bay. Mechanically the Shorrock Supercharger was completly rebuilt in 2009 with all new internals. The engine and overdrive gearbox are all in good order as are the 10" front and 9" rear Alfin Drum brakes
Critically the history file supporting the car is the most complete we have ever seen. A vast amount of supporting history including letters from the Allard motor company to Mr Coombs discussing the supercharger fitment all come with this car. Finally to bring the history full circle the car comes with photos of Carey Coombs and his son, the grandson of the original owner reunited with SAF424 in 2009 fully 55 years after Dr CJF Coombs collected this wonderful car from the Canley factory. 
Your chance to own a unique piece of Triumph history. A car for the enthusiast collector. Surely a rare and gilt edged investment
See below for the full run down of SAF 424 great past:
6^th February 1954    First registered to Dr C.J.Franklin COOMBS, a regular pre-war hillclimber.   He famously crashed the Caesar Special as second car up on the inaugural Climb at Backwell Hill Climb on 17^th August 1935:  As Light Car reported: “….snaking nastily and finally out of control…it approached the corner hopelessly fast and still steaming, as railway folk put it.  A slide, a half-roll and a crash….Fortunately the driver, CJF Coombs, was not hurt, but his two-litre Caesar Special was distinctly awry.  Amongst other things the extremely light front axle was in two pieces and, although an old flaw was disclosed by the fracture, it seems clear that the break was a result and not the cause of the crash.”  The car re-appeared the following year and raced as a single seater, became known as the “Kaiserwagen” belonging to the Fry cousins, and was last heard of in 1946.  “Doc” Taylor participated in the same event driving a 1200cc Morris,  both he and Coombs as members of the Bristol Motor Cycle & Light Car Club.  Coombs was also the original owner of “Sir Toby Belch” the original CAPA car in 1936, and sold it to Tony Taylor in that year or 1937 who kept it until 1950.

1971 JENSEN INTERCEPTOR SERIES III - RUNNYMEDE MOTOR COMPANY

1971 JENSEN INTERCEPTOR SERIES III

 

 

1971 Jensen Interceptor finished in Gold with recently re-trimmed black hide interior. The 6300cc engine employed in these earlier Interceptors was the most economical and reliable of all of the Chrysler engines and this one is still going strong, holding excellent oil pressure and running at the correct temperature. Since 1980 it has been the property of an enthusiastic owner who only parted with it in 2013 after 33 years of ownership. The car comes with a healthy history file containing invoices for maintenance over the period of his ownership. Recently the car has been fitted with brand new alloy wheels and white wall tyres and has been completely re-trimmed with new black hides and new black high quality carpet. The car is not perfect and will shortly require some improvement to the coachwork which we consider is reflected in the asking price. The values of these cars has risen in the past couple of years in line with other classic cars of this period but still looks stunning value when compared with many other marques such as Aston Martin. We consider this to be excellent value at £27,500

1972 FERRARI 365 GTB/4 'DAYTONA' BERLINETTA - FOSKERS

1972  FERRARI 365 GTB/4 'DAYTONA' BERLINETTA

Vehicle Details

Model: Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' Berlinetta Colour: Blu Dino Metallizzato Interior: Beige hide with black stripes Mileage: 50,400 Miles

Transmission: Five-speed manual Year: 1972 Price: £725,000.00

 

Introduced at the Paris motor show in 1968, the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Berlinetta - more commonly known as the ‘Daytona’ - was a direct replacement for the legendary Ferrari 275 GTB. Built by Scaglietti, the Pininfarina-designed Ferrari Daytona was the work of a young Leonardo Fioravanti, who would go on to pen many other Ferraris including the 512 BB, 308 GTB, 288 GTO and F40.
The Ferrari Daytona’s engine is a larger, longer version of the V12 in the Ferrari 275 GTB/4, with a capacity of 4.4 litres mated to six Weber carburettors, running through a five-speed gearbox. The performance is truly mighty, even by modern standards, with a 1971 road test in Autocar magazine recording a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds for the Ferrari Daytona, and a top speed of 174mph.
This Ferrari Daytona, chassis number 15387, is one of just 158 right-hand-drive cars imported to the UK. The rare original factory colour, which it retains to this day, is metallic blue (Blu Dino Metallizzato) with beige hide, black inserts and beige carpets. The complete ownership history of this Ferrari Daytona accompanies the car, along with a substantial file of invoices, MOTs and registration documents.
It was ordered in February 1972 by Ian Anthony Car Sales Limited of Bury, Lancashire, and was first registered in the UK on 22 March 1973. From the date of delivery, this Ferrari Daytona passed between several motor traders before being registered to the Rob Roy Garage in Peterculter, Aberdeenshire in June 1975. The Daytona was traded again in 1983, returning to Lancashire before going to new owners in London a year later.
A no-expense-spared body restoration of the Ferrari Daytona was carried out in 1989 by Maranello Concessionaires, and the car returned to Scotland in 1990 after being purchased by its fourth owner. More recently, this Ferrari was subject to a meticulously-documented mechanical overhaul by Terry Hoyle in 2003. The Ferrari Daytona was subsequently tested by Mark Hales for Octane magazine in August 2004, alongside a Ferrari 365 GTC/4. An original copy of the magazine accompanies the car.
This wonderful Ferrari Daytona has driven just 8000 miles over the last 10 years, and the history file includes invoices for regular maintenance throughout this period. The Ferrari's odometer now shows a well-documented 50400 miles from new, and it is presented in immaculate condition following comprehensive detailing.

During Chris Buck’s ownership the car underwent an entire mechanical rebuild, and coachwork restoration.

Throughout the 1920’s Bentley was dominant at Le Mans and in many other competitive motor racing events. In the “Vintage Era” there were six models produced. They were the 3 Litre, 4.5 Litre, 6.5 Litre(the big six), Speed Six, Eight Litre, and finally the 4 Litre. The racing cars were the 3 Litre, the 4.5 Litre, and the Speed Six.

Although always a chassis with a sporting heritage, engineered with competition in mind, many cars started life with saloon coachwork. After the war many had fallen into disrepair and naturally an enthusiastic owner undertaking a rebuild would fit a sporting racing body to their rebuilt chassis. Most chose to go for a “Le Man Replica” body, and have a car that would look like one of the original factory team cars.

There were only three factory Le Mans cars on the Speed Six Chassis. There are about 11 Speed Six”s in existence that are still fitted with original coachwork.

2011 Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 Litre - DK ENGINEERING

"CLASSIC OF THE DAY"

Featuring

   
2011  Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 Litre

 The reference ''RS'' will quicken the pulse of Porsche connoisseurs. Models such as the legendary Carrera RS 2.7 of 1972, the 1991 964 911 RS, the 2004 996 GT3 RS and the 2007 997 GT3 RS are all normally aspirated sports cars that stand out on account of their extreme degree of maneuverability and handling.
With the 996 Porsche was the first completely new 911 in what was then already a 35-year-old career. A year later Porsche produced a pure sports version to enable it to homologate its racing cars and all were surprised to find it was not to be granted 'RS' status like its fabled predecessor, the 2.7 RS, which had been conceived in 1973 for much the same reason. Instead Porsche appended a new name to it, the 'GT3' badge relating to its intended category of racing.
However, after the GT3 the journey commenced with the first GT3 RS, and as the 996 evolved into the 997, so the breed developed until seven iterations later Porsche arrived at the 997 GT3 RS 4.0. From those inauspicious beginnings, Porsche had bred what is now widely regarded as its finest road car to date, better even than the only two other possible contenders for the title, the original 2.7 RS and the RS version of the last air-cooled car, the 993. This car was the very last of both the 997 and the original GT3 line and it is fitting that it was such a triumph and importantly the last manual GT3 to be built.
For some years the Hans Metzger-designed flat-six motor was only used in Porsche's GT3 and GT2 cars, all other 911s, Boxsters and Caymans using an entirely unrelated, much cheaper to manufacture, direct-injection flat-six. Routine tests to which this engine was subjected during development for use in this ultimate GT3 was to be run flat out and non-stop for 3000km. For this fond farewell Porsche's Motorsport department prepared this car to be the first road-going 911 to use an engine displacing more than 3.8 litres by using the long stroke crank of the RSR race car (there was no more space between the cylinders to allow expansion in that direction), ultimately a capacity of 3996cc was achieved resulting in more torque and power. This 4-litre engine produces 493bhp without the aid of turbocharging.
Although just 600 of these 4-litre RSs were built, Porsche went to great lengths to perfect it and also made it lighter, making extensive use of carbon fibre, notable in places like the bonnet and front bumper. Even the carpet underlay was discarded. The suspension used Rose joints in the rear suspension, unique spring rates and springs that come with small helper springs to ensure some pre-load is always kept in the suspension. Finally attention turned to aerodynamics. Porsche fitted a new rear wing and discovered two things: first it not only eliminated all rear axle lift but then actually contributed 200kg of downforce at 183mph. Secondly it completely unbalanced the car aerodynamically. That's why it has those little winglets at the front (left): they may not look like much but there are places at the old Nürburgring where they make the difference between being able to go flat out and leaving the circuit.
Since their delivery, these cars have been incredibly sought after with values appreciating and reviews glowing with many agreeing that this is not only the best road Porsche ever, but that with the demise of a manual gearbox also a car that marks the significant end of an era.
With only a handful of UK RHD cars it is incredibly hard to find an example that is even for sale. This example is an LHD derivative that was supplied new to Stuttgart, Germany in October 2011. This example no. 259 of 600 car is presented in Carrera White with Black Alcantara interior and the hugely desirable "Clubsport Package" reminiscent of the 2.7 RS Lightweights and the fabled 993 RS Clubsport. It therefore features a rear roll cage, bucket seats and Red harnesses (as well as seat belts). In addition the car also benefits from the Sports Chromo Package, Porsche Carbon Ceramic brakes, Black instruments, 90 Litre fuel tank, Front Axle Lift, Xenons, and cup holders. The car has covered a total of 3,500 kms (Approx 2,100 miles) from new and the car has been fanatically maintained from new by its one and only owner. The car has just been serviced at Porsche GB and received a 111 point check as well as a full rev report and analysis. This is an opportunity to own THE 911 of the modern era presented in what is in the ideal specification.
