1966 SUNBEAM TIGER MK1A. EX MET. POLICE CAR. FANTASTIC COND. £52995.
This is a genuine 1966 Sunbeam Tiger that was first registered to the London Metropolitan Police on November 1st 1966.
VIN Number: B382002380 HROFE, JAL 662385.
Jensen Build Date 26th August 1966. JUL 390D is one of only 4 late MKIA
Sunbeam Tigers acquired by London's Metropolitan Police in
1966. The Tiger went into service at the Hampton police station in
Middlesex and during its brief 2 year service was widely used as a pursuit
vehicle on the new London motorways (M4/A4) for catching speeding
motorists. This
one is a particularly nice example that has been owned for 15 years by
the current owner. Much research was
completed into the Metropolitan police Tigers during his ownership. The
Tiger was reunited several times with Sergeant Police drivers formerly
based at the Hampton police station. A large history file comes with the
car that has a lot of old in period pictures, history, old MOT's and
invoices etc. Fully restored and equipped with some original police
equipment it has the Police radio, Winkworth bell and two tone siren
fitted and working. It is said the Police sign was on the rear of the
car so as to keep up a
‘Q' car appearance in the rear view mirror of the pursued. The Tiger is
fitted with a 302 cu in engine and comes with a fully restored hard top
in matching paint, Dunlop safety wheels but otherwise to a standard
specification. Featured
in Practical Classics Spring 2012. The car has been used regularly over
the years for local shows, longer trips and continental touring and
1969 MGC ROADSTER. RECENTLY RESTORED. OSELLI ENGINE. MINERAL BLUE. 73,000 MILES. £19,995.
This 1969 MGC Roadster finished in Mineral Blue is a UK car and was first registered 4th December 1969 so is this month 50 years old. The mileage shows only 73,000 miles which is believed to be correct. It is road tax and MOT exempt. The car was kept off road for several years and has recently (this year) had an extensive restoration by a leading MG Specialist. The engine has been rebuilt by the famous engineering company Oselli and the car has been little used since then. It runs and drives beautifully with the 3 litre 6 cylinder engine sounding fantastic and giving plenty of performance. The knock on wire wheels have been powder coated in a chrome effect finish. The interior is very tidy with the seats finished in black leather with white piping. The convertible top is in excellent condition and there is a full tonneau cover with the car. These cars are now now rare and hard to find in this condition and make a good investment.
1959 VW BEETLE 1200. 1 OWNER FOR 58 YEARS. FULLY RESTORED. ORIGINAL PANELS. AMAZING!!! £19,995.
Occasionally
you get a car that is a bit special! This VW is one of those special
cars. It is just amazing. You will need to come and see the car to get
the full picture as it is hard to describe just how nice the car is.
This VW Beetle 1200 started of life in 1959 when it was purchased by a
British serviceman serving in Germany. It was from new a RHD car. He
returned to the UK in 1961 with the car and it was registered8th July
1961. It was then part exchanged for a newer model at
the local VW dealership where a young apprentice mechanic took a shine
to it and purchased it for a modest sum. That young apprentice still
owns the car today some 58 years later. He went on to be a top VW
engineer and mechanic traveling regularly to Wolfsburg to do all the VW
courses. In 1979 the bug was put away in a dry garage and carefully
stored until he retired from work and had the time and expertise to
restore the bug to its original beauty. The car was completely
dismantled and shot blasted back to bare metal. No new panels where
needed and the car retains all original panels, original glass and even
original headlamps. The car has had an excellent repaint in the original
colour of Mango Green. The interior has also had a full and meticulous
restoration including the headling that had to be sourced from the USA.
Whilst the body was off the floorpan and running gear was serviced as
required, the engine was dismantled and refreshed, all tinware was stove
enamelled in the original black.

1958 AUTOBIANCHI BIANCHINA TRASFORMABILE 'S'. SUICIDE DOORS AND AS CUTE AS THEY COME. A FEW SENSIBLE UPGRADES. £16,995.
Possibly
the cutest looking car I have had the pleasure to sell! The Autobianchi
Bianchina is a Micro car based on the running gear of a Fiat 500 and it
was manufactured in Italy in the late 50's. It is a rear engined, rear
wheel drive car with a 4 speed manual gearbox. It is smaller than a
classic Mini and yet still manages to accommodate 4 people inside. The
Bianchina was available as a saloon, estate, van, full convertible and
as this car is with a fully retracting roof and called the
Trasformabile. The Trasformabile was the only model that came with the
rear hinged suicide doors, a more powerful engine and a duotone paint
finish. It is also one of the rarer 'Special' models that had even more
power at a huge 21bhp from its 499cc engine. This car still has its
original Italian log book from the 50's and 60's all stamped up with the
owners and there is a certificate of membership of the Motor Club
Historic of Italy in the substantial history file. This fantastic and
very rare came came to the UK in 2014 and was sold through Coys auction
house with an estimate of £19-22k in the catalogue a copy of which comes
with the car. The first UK owner had the car registered with DVLA who
issued an age related plate 486 UYP.

years. It is now road tax and MOT exempt. In the history file there are
lots of old invoices going back to 1987, magazine articles and 36 old
MOT's (out of a possible 40) that proves the car cars mileage and that

1994 ROVER METRO 1.1S 5 DOOR MANUAL. MET. BRITISH RACING GREEN. ONLY 28,000 MILES FROM NEW. DRIVES LIKE NEW. £2995.
The
Rover badged Metro was a huge success in the small car market and the
1.1s model was the top of the 1.1 range. To make it that bit better than
the others it came with special sports harlequin cloth interior, body
coloured bumpers, mirrors and bonnet air inlets, 'S' wheel trims, body
side mouldings with red inserts, 5 x red seat belts, sports steering
wheel, green tinted glass, glass sun roof, rev counter and a rear boot
spoiler. This was all on top off the standard 1120cc K series engine, 5
speed gearbox, stereo, roof aerial, rear wash wipe, split folding rear
seat and central locking. This particular 5 door Metro 1.1S finished in
Metallic British Racing Green is in amazing condition and has covered
only 28,000 miles from new. It was first registered 6th April 1994 and
is now 26 years old. Not a lot is known of its early life but it must
have been pampered by the first 3 owners as they had covered only 20,000
miles by 2006 (according to the old MOT's) and only 24,000 by 2014. The
car was sold in 2014 to the 4th owner who proceeded to restore the car
to its present day condition. It still retains the original supplying
dealers Bishop and Bishop number plates front and rear, window sticker,
tax disc holder and key ring fob. This included a full respray, new
