1969 MGC ROADSTER. RECENTLY RESTORED. OSELLI ENGINE. OVERDRIVE. MINERAL BLUE. 73,000 MILES. £21,995
This
1969 MGC Roadster finished in Mineral Blue is a UK car and was first
registered 4th December 1969. 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 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 showing good oil pressure, sounding fantastic and giving plenty
of performance. The overdrive gearbox works very well and the brakes
have a new servo fitted. 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.
1970 MERCEDES 250 SALOON. W114 SERIES. MBZ 114 NUMBER PLATE. ONLY 3 OWNERS. 72000 MILES. £14,995
This
is a Mercedes 250 Saloon and it is a W114 series car. The car was first
sold , supplied and registered to a Jersey businessman. He bought the
car to England in 1979 and registered the car with the DVLA on 18th
October 1979. He kept the car for many years before selling it to a well
known classic car dealer in 1986 who in turn sold it to its second
owner who had a collection of classic cars. The dealer looked after the
car for the new owners for many years until 2020 when the car was bought
back by the same dealer who again has sold the car on. This Mercedes is
a late series 1 114 and has the 2500cc straight six engine and an
automatic gearbox. It has recently had the correct weber carb
conversion and a German 1-2-3 ignition distributor, coil, leads and
plugs fitted. It has had a recent service and the chassis has had a
waxoil treatment. The recent history folders contains some receipts, The
original Mercedes build slips,13 old MOT's showing just 4,700 miles in
the last 14 years and 15 old tax discs. Only 3 owners from new and just
72,000 miles showing on the clock which is believed to be correct but
not warranted. 4 new matching tyres just fitted.
1961 AUSTIN A40 FARINA MK1. RED WITH BLACK ROOF. TAX AND MOT EXEMPT. DRIVES GREAT. £7495
This very tidy MK1 Farina was restored and owned by the former technical advisor of the A40 owners club. The restoration process was carried out around eight years ago. The A40 could be purchased driven and shown straight away by its new owner. The little Austin really draws attention around town. 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 and electronic ignition 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. 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. There are red carpets in very good order. The car is serviced and ready to go. The mileage is showing at 77,000 although this can't be warranted. There is a history file with old receipts, MOT's etc and it seems the car has only covered 3,000 miles in the last 11 years. Just enough to keep it healthy.
1958 AUSTIN A35 COUNTRYMAN/VAN. TAX & MOT EXEMPT. GREAT LITTLE WAGON. £6995
This
Austin A35 was first registered 21st May 1958 which makes it now 63
years old. It is both Road Tax and MOT exempt. It has a AV5 chassis
number which means it left the factory as a van but as often happened
back then it was quickly converted to Countryman specification by
fitting the rear windows, rear seats and headlining. This enabled the
purchaser to avoid paying the purchase tax on cars as they had bought a
van! Clever stuff!! The semaphore trafficators are still present and
working but front and rear indicators have been added. It also has a
clever lift up boot cover fitted. The rear seats can be folded flat to
make it an estate/van and if you want to go all the way I have seen
people put the van panels back in as the vans tend to be more expensive.
The mineral Blue paintwork looks good with the satin Black roof. The
mileage is currently showing 57,700 but this cant be warranted. The
948cc 4 cylinder petrol engine combined with the 4 speed gearbox propels
the car down the road well and is a hoot to drive with smiles all
round.
1960 SUNBEAM RAPIER SERIES 3 CONVERTIBLE 69 AYM VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF A VERY RARE CAR. £19995.
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.
1994 ROVER MG RV8. 3.9 LITRE V8. WOODCOTE GREEN MET. MUCH SORT AFTER CLASSIC. LOW MILES. £21,995.
Only 2000 RV8's were produced and most of them went to Japan. Like a lot of the Japenese cars this one in 2007 found its way back to the UK. First registered in Japan in October 1994 it was registered in the UK 1st June 2007. The car has had just 3 owners in total (2 in the UK) with the last owner since 2011.

The car looks superb finished in Woodcote Green Metallic with a Biscuit coloured leather interior. Both in great condition. It has fully functioning air conditioning, power steering, original alarm system. a full tonneau cover, wind deflector and even the original warning flare. The wood veneer dashboard is in excellent condition as are the wheels and tyres. There is a very nice Kenwood CD/Radio/iPod sound system fitted and the original Rover item is available stored in the boot. During the last owners tenure it has received the following: new exhaust, new front screen frame, fuel pump, radiator, battery, water pump, spax shock absorbers, hi Torque starter motor, new continental tyres, brake cylinders and much more filed in the history file. The file also has the old MOT's to prove the mileage. The car has a current MOT with no advisories till 29th March 2022. I have just completed a 100 mile trip in this car over the weekend and it performed faultlessly.

miles in the next 53 years. The car looks superb finished in Inca Yellow
and fitted with the painted silver knock on wire wheels with a good set
of tyres. The paint is very good and the chrome shines albeit with a
bit of pitting. A pair of MG mudflaps are fitted to the rear. The
interior is a nice place to be with an upgraded pair of seats (the
passenger seat has a mark on the backrest), black carpets and a full
compliment of dials to look at on the dashboard. The original steering
wheel looks just right. The boot is carpeted throughout and houses the
spare wheel and the packaway soft top. There are also the original tools
and bag and a tonneau cover. The 1800cc 4 cylinder 'B' series engine
runs well with good oil pressure and mated to the 4 speed plus overdrive
gearbox provides ample power out on the open road. It has a stainless
steel exhaust system. The engine bay is tidy with an alloy rocker cover
fitted to the engine. Overall an MGB that has all the desirable features
that can be used, shown and enjoyed by the next owner.
