1987 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth 3dr
Est: £45,000 to £60,000
Hammer Price: £58,300
1986 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth 3dr Make: Ford Model: Year: 1986 Colour: Mileage: Registration: Engine Number: Chassis Number: Driving Side: Transmission: 1986 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth 3dr Dry, but draughty, stored since 1991 this 19/11/86 registered 3dr RS Cosworth has quite an interesting story to tell. The vendor’s father, who purchased the car new in 1986 from the then main Ford dealer in Kings Lynn and covered just 32,000 miles in the following 4 years. He was a local business (and ladies) man based on the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire borders and used the car daily. In fact, his daughter Luci remembers regular lifts to school as a youngster in the car which must have caused quite a stir at the time. Luci will be attending our auction on September 3rd and will attempt to answer any questions potential buyers may have concerning that early period. Back to the story, which has gained almost mythical status locally. In the late summer of 1991, an attempt was made to steal the car. During this break-in, the RS was started, moved and damaged within minutes of the attempted theft. Luci’s father lost heart despite only relatively minor damage and drove it into the barn where it remained untouched until today, August 20th 2022 when we pushed it around its resting place in order to photograph. At no point has an insurance claim been made and the car remains completely hpi clear. Many parts were purchased in order to effect repair and will be included within the sale. A portfolio of over 75 photographs of all aspects of the RS are available upon request. The car has not been started for many years and this will remain as such whilst in our care. We can confirm that the engine turns and compression seems good. Everything appears factory standard and the front wings bear week 38, 1986 stamps which ties in well with a November first registration. No apparent damage to chassis leg, just a crumpled section of the horizontal section of the drivers side inner wing. Both front wings require minor repair. The bumper, we believe, is a factory replacement. The original grille is with the car along with a factory replacement. This is, in our opinion, a very straightforward repair Comes complete with V5c, old style V5 and complete book pack including service booklet Now this is a barn find. Totally HPI clear.

1966 MGB Roadster
Est: £9,000 to £11,000
Hammer Price: £11,024
Supplied new by Bath Garages, Bath in October 1966, this UK market ‘B’, according to its BMIHT Heritage certificate, was originally black with red interior as it remains today although the car has been retrimmed in leather, piped black, at some point. Extra’s when new included wire wheels, heater, Dunlop SP tyres, hard top (no longer with car) and anti roll bar.

1930's Wolseley 14/56
Est: £9,000 to £12,000
Hammer Price: £8,904
A well known local car, this Wolseley is offered on behalf of the executors. Although running and driving well, we actually drove the car to Weeting and back for display at our annual steam rally auction, the brakes will require slight attention. The car is pulling to the left and the pedal is quite hard. Although restored some years ago, this 14 appears to remain in fine fettle bar the odd minor area of light microblistering. Although not wishing to give the game away as to the deceased owner, the interior is superb, including the roof lining. Not used for at least 3 years, some clean fuel and a charge of the 12 volt converted electrical system and she was away without missing a beat on a very warm 35 mile return journey to Suffolk. Utterly charming in every way with a surprising turn of speed. No wonder these cars were so popular with police forces throughout the country

Hammer Price: Still available
One of 432 LHD Interceptor II’s manufactured, it is believed that this example was delivered new to California and first registered in late November 1971 although service bills lead us to believe the car spent time in Georgia in the 2010’s.

2003 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec C Limited Prototype/Press car
Est: £19,000 to £24,000
Remains Available
The Prototype/Press car developed to type 2S spec by Ian Litchfield of Litchfield imports. Used in many magazine articles, where it normally came out on top, even outscoring a BMW M3 CSL in one magazine.
Given dash plaque number 000, all magazine road tests were completed on the original engine and copies of the articles can be found amongst the photographs supplied. At approximately 8,000 miles a 2S little shot block engine was fitted, mainly for development and the personal use of Ian Litchfield. After approximately 4500 miles, the original engine was reinstalled. All of this information is contained within the detailed letter of provenance from Ian Litchfield himself. A copy of which is contained within the history folder which also includes, Japanese paperwork, V5C, a letter from the current private owner, who has owned the car since 2011, who has covered less than 15,000 miles in 11 years. Current milage at 92,800 with, as previously stated, 4500 of those on the 2S short block. Little use in recent years, the car would benefit from a good service and check over, but according to vendor runs and drives well.

1999 Quantum H4 Convertible
Est: £1,300 to £1,700
Remains Available
Correctly registered as a Quantum on the V5C, this example utilises running gear from an early 90’s Ford Fiesta XR2i. Considerably lighter than the donor vehicle, this M4 proved to be extremely nippy on a brief test drive. Running, driving and perfectly usable as is with a current MOT until 18th January 2023. The private vendor has asked us to describe the car as a straightforward project, just because an amount of refinishing and detailing is required, also this vehicle has seen little use in recent years. Wrapped in its current dark blue hue at some point, the Quantum comes complete with a boot full of spare parts, various Club magazines, current MOT certificates, information on the company and a folder of past invoices.

1991 Mercedes Benz 300 GD W463 G-Wagen
Est: £10,000 to £12,000
Hammer Price: £13,992
One of the first W463 variants, this G-Wagen has covered a touch over 175k miles in its 31 years. Hardly used in recent times, this example is unrestored and in remarkably good order with apparently none of the usual G rust issues even in the known problem areas. 9 seats with only the drivers seat lower bolster showing signs of wear. Believed to have been a demonstrator when new, the car has had just 2 registered owners since, the current owner, and vendor, having owned the car since 2004. Only offered for sale due to lack of use having covered just 600 miles since 2018. Regularly serviced locally and complete with service manual. Current MOT until June 2023.

1920's Ruggles Flatbed Truck
Est: £10,000 to £15,000
Hammer Price: £12,720
Built by the Ruggles Motor Truck Co. of Saginaw, Michigan, in 1924, this Flatbed was discovered in Rosewood by L&M Nixon Transport of Ipswich in the 1960s where it was driving a saw bench. Following its acquisition from Nixons it was restored in 1990 and is now presented in burgundy livery. Unusual in the UK, it would make an ideal exhibit or show vehicle and is offered from long-term family ownership.

2000 Saab Viggen Convertible
Est: £4,000 to £6,000
Hammer Price £4,240
Certain people deride these later Saabs as little more than rebodied GM products. How wrong they are. The engineers at Saab changed virtually everything culminating in this, possibly the most desirable Saab drop top of all. “Our” car has been cherished all its life having covered just 106k miles in the hands of its 5 owners. 20, yes twenty, stamps of service history, 17 of which are Saab main dealer, the rest being specialist. Last serviced in November 20, less than a thousand miles has been covered since. The car comes complete with both keys, all books and a huge file of expenditure, even down to a fluid change for the hydraulics in the soft top. Completely standard and, in the words of the vendor, totally immaculate some very minor bubbling on the lip of the drivers rear wheel arch. He also confirms that absolutely everything works correctly, even the air-con. A real find for the Saab enthusiast.

Remains Available
Purchased by the vendor in 2015 he has now switched camps and decided to purchase a Triumph! Much expenditure during his ownership including unleaded head conversion, alloy cam cover, removable roll bar and minilite style wheels. Recent mechanical works have included new wheel cylinders, radiator, electronic ignition and core plugs. Comes with a large folder of invoices, tax discs and expired MOT certificates to back up the indicated 24500 miles which the vendor believes to be correct.

1953 Ford Prefect
Est: £5,000 to £6,000
Hammer Price: £5,406
I cannot take credit, unlike me really, for the information contained within this description as the owner provided us with so much! Hint, hint to other vendors...
One of the last 200 E493A’s to roll off the production line in June 1953 and unsold until approximately 4 months making it one of the very last, if not the last, Prefect’s to be UK registered. Unusually finished in Canterbury Green, normally a Zephyr/Zodiac colour. Believed to have never been fully restored, rather maintained and repaired as and when required. Briefly appearing in the film “Nowhere Man”, a biopic of the early life of John Lennon. A DVD copy of the movie is included in the sale along with many other items appertaining to the Car.

1934-35 Standard R16 deluxe saloon (project)
No Reserve
Hammer Price: £1,802
We have neither registration number or any form of registration paperwork so the new owner will need to consult with the club in order to effect registration. Chassis plate visible. It is clearly apparent that the car has had both the coachwork and interior restored. Chrome and interior require refinishing. Condition of running gear is unknown but it is clear that the majority of the hard work has been completed to a very good standard. No doubt some minor parts are missing or require attention. Most notably, the sunroof is missing as are the bumpers.

1991 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth Red Top
Est: £32,000 to £35,000
Hammer Price: £33,920
Now this is something special. I have successfully auctioned around 10,000 classic cars over the last 17 years and this is the finest Cosworth I have come across in all that time. Originally registered as a demonstrator to Trigon Ford of Ely, the car was then purchased by their sales manager for his own personal use before selling it to the 3rd owner in 1993 who then kept the car for the next 26 years. Garaged between 2005 and 2010 and then between 2012 and 2019. In 2019 he sold the car to an avid Ford enthusiast who spent in excess of £2k to recommission the car at which time the cambelt was changed with the car seeing little use since. Apart from a stock size stainless steel exhaust system, the car is described by the vendor as unmolested and immaculate. It surely goes without saying that the car has never been welded. All books are present with 10 stamps (7 Ford) of service history along with expired MOT certificates and invoices dating back to 1992. Current mileage is warranted at just 43,000 miles. A real find and a pleasure to offer. We will be submitting the best bid on the day but would expect the car to fetch somewhere in the mid 30’s.

Now this is something special. I have successfully auctioned around 10,000 classic cars over the last 17 years and this is the finest Cosworth I have come across in all that time. Originally registered as a demonstrator to Trigon Ford of Ely, the car was then purchased by their sales manager for his own personal use before selling it to the 3rd owner in 1993 who then kept the car for the next 26 years. Garaged between 2005 and 2010 and then between 2012 and 2019. In 2019 he sold the car to an avid Ford enthusiast who spent in excess of £2k to recommission the car at which time the cambelt was changed with the car seeing little use since. Apart from a stock size stainless steel exhaust system, the car is described by the vendor as unmolested and immaculate. It surely goes without saying that the car has never been welded. All books are present with 10 stamps (7 Ford) of service history along with expired MOT certificates and invoices dating back to 1992. Current mileage is warranted at just 43,000 miles. A real find and a pleasure to offer. We will be submitting the best bid on the day but would expect the car to fetch somewhere in the mid 30’s.

Complete with full handbook pack and although only 2 services are noted within the service booklet, an A4 file of main dealer service, etc, invoices comes with the car. All usual 745 extras are included along with, most unusually, full dark blue cloth interior, a special order item that will have cost a fortune when now. The car drove superbly during our photograph session, just as you would expect a 19k miles 7 series to.

Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2
Est: £26,000 to £32,000
Hammer Price: £27,772
Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 1971975 One of just two UK RHD 365 GT4/2+2 models to be finished in Black with red leather interior. This entry has formed part of a twenty strong collection based on Orkney.

The interior presents well, nicely worn in without any major damage or wear. Cosmetically, the car could be improved but is perfectly usable as is. Comes complete with complete leather book wallet including service booklet, service manual and Tool box and jack. Probably the most cost effective way to get yourself sat behind that glorious quad cam V12 engine

Finished in metallic maroon with light stone leather interior, “our” example comes with current V5c which states 3 former keepers, operating handbook, buff log book, expired MOT certificates and many invoices detailing works carried out including one for a full engine rebuild carried out by a respected Jaguar specialist
