1987 AUSTIN MINI PARK LANE. RARE LTD EDITION. ONLY 32 ON THE ROAD. 58K MILES. RESTORED. £6495.
The Park Lane was one in a series of limited edition Minis based on upmarket London landmarks: Picadilly, Chelsea, Mayfair and the Ritz also featured. Identifying features of the Park Lane included a sports steering wheel, stereo radio/cassette player, “Exclusive” Park Lane interior trim, unique exterior brightwork and a “distinctive black exterior with graphics”. Output was limited to just 1,500 examples. This Park Lane was first registered 5th May 1987. D817 SNT is a very smart example which has seen some major expenditure in recent years. The car has been restored over the last two years, which included fitting a new rear sub-frame, new rear suspension, shock absorbers, brake hoses and pipes, new battery, 2 new tyres, new rubbers, new radiator, new carpets, new wings and panels, exhaust and water pump amongst many other items. The car was also re-sprayed in Black Tulip. It is believed that the car was taken off the road by the previous owner around 2001 and stored until our 2017. The recorded mileage – 58,269 – is believed to be correct. The car has an MOT to April 2020. The 998cc engine and 4 speed gearbox are in fine working order and push the car along willingly. There is a good history file of old invoices, MOT's etc showing over £3300 spent recently. At the very reasonable price, this Mini is a very attractive proposition and a practical and economical entry into classic car ownership.

This
stunning 1966 Triumph TR4A IRS with overdrive was is an original UK
market car and was first registered GRK 696D on 13th September 1966 just
6 weeks after England had won the football world cup and is now 53
years old. It is both Road Tax and MOT exempt on the 40 year ruling. The
car has always lived in the South of England. It has the 2138cc engine
and four speed + overdrive gearbox which has been replaced with a re-con
item. Both are in excellent order an perform very well. Over the last
10 years the car has been fully restored both bodily and mechanically
and it is a real crowd puller at the shows. The car is finished in Rover
Nightfire metallic Red and this colour really suits the car. It has
chrome knock on wire wheels and spinners that wear a set of BF Goodrich
Silvertown Whitewall tyres and a beautiful cream leather interior that
cost over £5000 on its own. There is a nice period look stereo system
and the wood dashboard looks fantastic with the cream coloured dials and
Moto Lita steering wheel. There is an Aston style petrol filler cap to
finish of the look and the rest of the chrome is very good. Everything
else like the suspension, brakes, cooling etc was rebuilt and I would
estimate some £30,000 was spent getting this car to the condition it is
in today. It has the very desirable Surrey top and the last owner had a
very nice soft top designed as well that is a lot easier to take on and
off than the steel top. There is an great little slide out table for
picnics flitted in the boot.

stunning matching numbers Corvette is the very rare and sought after
396 Turbo Jet Big Block L78 6.5 litre model (425 BHP) with manual 4
speed Muncie gearbox and a 4.55 LSD differential. The car was produced
at the GM plant in St. Loius in late July 1965 and first registered in
the USA 6th August 1965. The 396 ci engine was only fitted to these cars
for about 9 months and was dropped in favour of the bigger 427ci engine
which reputedly had less horsepower. This particular car was owned by a
Donald Bell of Pittsburgh, PA before being sold to and imported in to
the UK by Corvette specialist Claremont Corvettes in the late 1990's.
The car was then stored by them for 15 years before having an extensive
and expensive full restoration. There are photographs in the history
file of the restoration process. The engine was sent back to Corvette
City in Denver, Colorado for a full rebuild and this alone cost $8000.
All other running gear was rebuilt or replaced, the interior was
re-trimmed in black leather and the car had a fantastic re-paint in
metallic silver. Once the work was completed in 2010 the car was
advertised for sale at £59,995 and was showing 44,000 miles on the
clock. The car was purchased at that time by the current owner and he
has added another 15,000 miles during his 8 year ownership and the car
now shows 59,000 miles. The owner has continued to improve the car over
this time with no expense spared and he has had a new clutch, power
steering fitted, new radiator, new side exit exhausts, new tyres, water

1998 MINI MAYFAIR AUTOMATIC. JAPAN SPEC WITH AIR CONDITIONING. TAHITI BLUE. ONLY 54K MILES. £6995.
Dating from 1998 this smart Tahiti blue 1.3 Mayfair with white roof was originally exported to the land of the rising sun. As a Japanese spec car, it features something of a monster spec – for a Mini - including automatic transmission, walnut trim, half leatherette and sports checker trim (think Burberry) with cream door cards, air conditioning and a face-off stereo with MD/CD capability. As is so often the case with JDM spec cars, they tend to have covered lower mileages and this shows just 87,076 km which equates to just over 54,000 miles. Since import in 2014, the car has had just three UK owners and has been driven just 5000 miles. In the last owners hands for the past two, the car was bought as a gift for his wife who didn’t use it so it has sat in his collection.

It has recently had a new battery, brake pads, a set of Falken tyres, a wax oil treatment and a service.
1993 MINI MAYFAIR AUTOMATIC. 1275 cc. BRIGHT RED STUNNER WITH ONLY 45K MILES. £6495
It was generally assumed that the Mini would cease production following the introduction of the more practical hatchback Metro in 1980, although the product planners at the factory had never looked at it this way. In fact the venerable Mini was to outlive the new pretender by a full two years, soldiering on until 2000, supported by the Cooper models and a range of special editions which kept interest in the product alive. The Mayfair Edition was in production from 1982 until 1994 and featured luxuries such as a rev counter, servo-assisted front disc brakes, plastic wheel arch extensions and sill covers, opening rear side windows and plush velour seats, ‘added value’ extras which made the humble Mini surprisingly comfortable. This little stunner has had just two owners from new with the last for 22 years and has covered a whisker under 45,000 miles from new. Ordered as an automatic, it spent 10 years in storage from 2006 until 2016, getting a proper recommissioning in 2018 with invoices on file. It is MOTd until February 202 with no advisories and as you can see, is in lovely condition. Frugal, fun and easy to drive thanks to its four-speed auto-box, this smart little Mayfair remains to factory standard spec and as such has excellent investment potential.
