1969 HAWK COBRA 289 LE MANS. STUNNING EXAMPLE OF A STUNNING CAR. 4.5V8 + 5 SPEED. BRITISH RACING GREEN. £48,995.
The Hawk Cobra 289 Le Mans is considered to be on of the best Cobra models available and this particular car has been built to a very high standard with no expense spared and amazing attention to detail. The car is correctly registered on the V5 as a Hawk 289 Cobra and registered 1st May 1969. The 1969 registration makes it tax exempt. It does have a current MOT with no advisories to 8th April 2022. The actual build date was 1995/6 when the car was built by the first owner at huge expense and he kept the car till 2012 when the current owner purchased the car. So only 2 owners since being built and only 6000 miles driven. The Le Mans version as can be seen in the pictures emulates the original 289 Hard top Cobra's that ran in the Le Mans race in the 1960's and in my opinion is the nicest looking of all the Cobra's. The large history file has receipts showing the builder spent over £18,000 on parts alone plus the considerable labour costs. The current owner has spent a further £15,000 in the last 9 years to get the car to where it is today. It is running a 4.5 litre V8 with a Holley carb that sounds fantastic and has lots of power mated with a 5 speed gearbox. This combination propels the car down the road very quickly providing big smiles all the way but can be driven sedately at low speeds with ease. It sits on Green 15 inch knock on wire wheels shod with a new set of Blockley 205/70/15 tyres. The brakes are vented discs with 4 pot calipers and an adjustable brake bias. The rear end is jaguar and it has adjustable shock absorbers.

Externally the car looks great in red over black and the car has a nice Patina about it. The car is also good on the underside and waxoyled for protection. Under the engine bay the car has benefited from an engine rebuild with unleaded head as well as the cars engine bay been detailed which is still very clean and tidy. Mechanically the cars 948cc engine pulls and runs well and the cars transmission is smooth with no rattles or whines and overall the car provides a good drive. The braking system works as it should with new brake master and in frame cylinders fitted. The cars interior is very tidy and has obviously been retrimmed during the restoration period with the seats recovered in black vinyl with red piping setting the cars colour scheme off nicely.

1966 MGB GT. EARLY GHD3 CAR. MINERAL BLUE. WEBASTO ROOF. OVERDRIVE. TAX & MOT EXEMPT. SUPERB. LOW MILEAGE. £13,495.
KMO 672D (original number) is an early GHD3 chassis car from the first 12 months of GT production that was first registered 13th September 1966. It comes with a Heritage certificate that tells us that the car was (and still is) Mineral Blue and ordered with the disc wheels it still wears. The car was delivered to Hewens Garage in Maidenhead for its new owner and it has had only 6 owners in 55 years. The 4th owner in Chichester purchased the car in 1993 and kept the car for 25 years till 2018. There is a comprehensive history file from his ownership showing that he lavished a huge amount of time and money restoring and improving the car. The car is showing only 68,000 miles on the clock which although cannot be warranted is thought to be correct. It has covered only 19k in the last 25 years. The long term owner found the car back in 1993 and began the restoration project. The 1800cc engine was rebuilt including a stage 2 unleaded cylinder head and coupled to the rebuilt overdrive gearbox pushes the car along with plenty of power and performance. The major bodywork restoration was entrusted to Autosure Motor Company of Horsham and then well known MG restoration specialist Robin Lackford Engineering of Cowfold. The detailed invoicing in the file shows over £20,000 spent. Since the restoration it has also had a new stainless steel exhaust, dashboard, inertia belts, an interior re-trim, fuel tank, radiator, clutch master, waxoil treatment, k&N filters, starter motor, 12 volt battery conversion, steering wheel, carbs, front suspension rebuild, electronic ignition and a beautiful Tudor Webasto sliding roof fitted.
1960 SUNBEAM RAPIER SERIES 3 CONVERTIBLE 69 AYM VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF A VERY RARE CAR. £16995.
A rare example of one of the Rootes groups most stylish four seat convertibles. Registered in September 1960, this fine example has had just four registered keepers from new, the second Cyril Brown for most of its life. Purchased by Cyril in 1962 the Rapier was kept garaged at his Shepperton home and used for weekend runs during the summer months which suggest its mileage of 48,000 is genuine. Cyril commissioned Bryan Witthington from Southampton a long time Rapier owners club member to undertake a bodywork refurbishment in the late 1980’s. This consisted of making good any corrosion to the front and rear wings at the same time a pair of new old stock factory sills were fitted. The all important inner front wings are rock solid as is the floor and underside cruciform bracing. The complete car was then re sprayed in its attractive original scheme of Moonstone over Powder Blue. Paintwork is almost flawless the odd little mark doing nothing to detract from its appearance and still looking incredibly fresh with a great shine. Likewise the brightwork is all in fine shape with no evidence of serious pitting to the chrome or corrosion to the all to rare lower cooling grills. The car has the benefit of overdrive fitted operating on third and top gear making cruising a pleasure. To the front is fitted a period badge bar and two auxiliary driving lamps again in period and reminiscent of the successful works team cars. The Rapier has just been fully serviced and sits on four excellent 15inch tyres making for a luxury ride. For the not so clement days 69 AYM sports a new dark blue mohair hood.
