1973 RANGE ROVER 2 DOOR SUFFIX B

UNRESTORED & TOTALLY RUST FREE

We have pleasure in offering this exceptionally original 1973 Range Rover Classic 2 Door. 

The car is a Suffix B which was built in 1973. In 1974 it was exported to Johannesburg in South Africa and spent the next 42 years in the sun.

The condition is lovely with a patina that cannot be replicated and which would be a shame to lose if it was restored. She has had areas of paint here and there the worst of which is the bonnet, lower tailgate and roof which are not perfect (we could restore them if you wanted) but it is quite exceptional to have a car of this age with zero corrosion.

Mechanically the Suffix B is lovely with a strong engine, smooth gearbox, and driveline which was properly tested having just performed faultlessly on a road trip throughout Scotland.

Internally the car is clean and bright. The carpets and Palomino trim are in good order, the roof lining is in good condition but the dash pod is tired and has been moved over to accommodate a non-standard rev counter. The seats have been recovered in a non-original cloth trim. Personally, I would recover the seats in the correct 8 pleat Palomino PVC, remove the rev-counter, replace and relocate the dash pod in the correct position at additional cost

The Range Rover was repatriated back to the UK in the Spring of 2017 and was re-registered onto a correct 1973 'L' registration.

Super value for money.

All of our vehicles (which are not full restorations) are fully safety checked prior to delivery, have a fresh MOT test and are covered by our ​‘Kingsley Warranty Promise’ which is a minimum of 3 Month parts and labour with unlimited claims to the 60% of the value of the vehicle.

1959 JAGUAR XK150 SE 3.4 DROPHEAD COUPE RHD


The Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate states this beautiful XK150 DHC was manufactured on January 22nd 1959 to RHD specification and despatched to Henlys London on February 9th 1959.  The car was finished in the original colours of Indigo Blue with grey leather interior, just as it is now.
It is believed the car was soon taken to Italy and registered in Milan, and in December 1964 it was registered in Padova.  The car then appears to have remained in the north of Italy until being acquired by someone in England in March 2017, after which is was registered with the DVLA in August 2017.
The odometer records less than 19,000 miles and the car remains in a wonderful original condition, with excellent panel fit and retaining what is thought to be the original seat trim.
Please contact us for further details

1970 MASERATI INDY 4200 - JULIEN SUMNER Fine Motor Cars Guildford, Surrey

1970 MASERATI INDY 4200

The Maserati Indy was first shown, unnamed, at the 1968 Turin Salon and then made its official debut at Geneva a year later. Named as many have been before after significant racing victories, in this case, the Indianapolis in both 1939 and 1940....they would have made it three in a row in 1941 had it not been for spark plug problems and a subsequent retirement!

The Indy was the first new Maserati model to appear following its acquisition by Citroen in 1969 and who remained at the helm until its collapse in 1975 when Alejandro De Tamaso stepped in, but that's another story altogether!

The lovely sleek design of the Indy was penned by Alfredo Vignale, who at the time had already designed both the fabulous 3500GT Spyder and Sebring; his brief was simple, to create an elegant and very smooth 2 door coupe, with ample room for 4 adults together with luggage, something most GT's of this era failed to manage.

Both the Maserati Classiche Department in Modena and Maserati's UK Owners Club confirm that this car was dispatched from the factory on 21st June 1970 as a manual INDY 4200 finished in Azzurro Hyperion (Light Blue) with white leather and delivered to Mr Franco Maletti in Modena....pleasingly the Indy remains matching. 

There is little to be discovered of its early history but we understand it was exported to Australia during the late 1970s where it was registered firstly in NSW and then subsequently Queensland before it was restored between 1997 and 2003 by its then-owner Mr David Cobin. His meticulous attention given to detail is evidenced by the three A4 folders full of factory information sheets, handwritten entries of works completed, invoices, hand-drawn wiring diagrams and much more....the owner kept an accumulative cost tally, the final figure was AUS $68,675 something approaching £43,000 back in 2003.

The Indy was purchased and subsequently imported in 2015 by Foskers Ferrari here in the UK who in turn sold it to its current owner, a long-standing client of mine. Mileage has been minimal but certainly not it's upkeep with the majority of works been undertaken via Steve Moody of SMDG plus other Italian marque specialists. With a recent MOT all is now set now for Summer use!

It would be a pleasure to answer any further questions you might have. This lovely Maserati can be inspected at my Guildford showroom - please call me on 07788 865700.
