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.
1957 STANDARD 10 4 DOOR SALOON. 39,000 MILES. STAINLESS EXHAUST. 948cc. GREAT LITTLE CAR. £5995.
This
great little car is a Standard 10 4 door saloon that cost £586 when
first registered 16th April 1957 by Philpotts Garage in Ramsgate, Kent.
The current owner has had 852 BTO for 5 years and he claims the 39100
recorded miles is correct but I can't warrant that mileage. The cream
paintwork really suits this car the crome sparkles on the front trim,
wing mirrors and bumpers. There is a 948cc engine and 4 speed gearbox
that work well together and propel the car along at a fair pace. There
is a stainless steel exhaust system and in recent times the car has had
new clutch master, brake master, brake hose, brake shoes, and wheel
cylinders. New front shock absorbers as well. The interior is good with
new carpets, a fitted fire extinguisher and the rear seats that fold
down for access to the boot area. 2 Standard books included.
1961 JAGUAR Mk2. 3.4 MANUAL + OVERDRIVE. PEARL GREY. RED LEATHER. CHROME WIRES. £18,995.
667 UPE was built at the Jaguar factory in April 1961. It was originally fitted with a 2.4 engine but has been upgraded to the more desirable and more powerful 3.4 engine. It is mated to the 4 speed manual gearbox that has the overdrive feature. An original RHD car it was delivered to Henleys of London for a Mrs. Norman and subsequently sent overseas before returning to the UK in 1981. The large history file shows that the last owner had the car for 16 years and covered only 8,000 miles in that time. During his ownership the car was restored and invoices show over £25,000 was spent in the process. The rear arches were converted to Coombes garage specification and the work was done by the same man that converted the Coombes cars in the 1960's. The engine runs smoothly with good oil pressure and there is a new aluminium radiator. The car comes with 2 sets of wire wheels and tyres. Painted and Chrome. The interior is in red leather and is generally good for 60 years old but the drivers seat is showing its age. the wooden dash and door trims are very good and there is a rare Derrington steering wheel fitted. This is not a concours show car but a very good car for going to shows and one you can be proud to own. It looks great and goes very well. It is rare to find a good one at this price.

NEW LOTUS CHASSIS. REBUILT ENGINE. £15,995.
This 1971 Lotus Elan was first registered 6th September 1971. It was issued with the distinctive number KLR 39K. The colour scheme of Burgundy Red with Metalflake Silver roofis both rare and desirable. The car has had on 2 owners for 36 years from 1983 till 2019 and in their ownership the history file shows some £11,000 has been spent improving the car. It has had a new Lotus chassis, the big valve engine has had a rebuild and lots of parts replaced or rebuilt. Carbs, servo, brake master, clutch master, suspension, steering rack, starter motor, shock absorbers, springs, clutch, radiator, brake pipes, kenlow fan, piper air filter, breather tank, petrol pump, battery and a stainless steel exhaust. All in the last 5000 miles. In the last year it has had a new water pump, engine mounts, rotoflex couplings, headlamp vacuum globe, electronic ignition and a brake caliper rebuild. The interior is in oatmeal and the seats retain plenty of firmness. The radio is there but not wired in. The engine and 4 speed ford gearbox (pfreferable to the 5 speed Maxi box) are in fine fettle and the car drives very well. The exterior finish has a few marks here and there but nothing serious and this is reflected in the price.

years old it is both MOT and Road Tax exempt. It has had only 5 owners
and the mileage is showing only 43,000 which is believed to be correct
but not warranted. It is an original British market right hand drive car
and is the sought after round dial dash model. The car has had an
extensive restoration performed over the last few years. Starting with a
complete strip down the car was then treated to new panels all round.
Bonnet, boot, doors, all wings and floors etc. The exterior paintwork

exempt but it does have an MOT till 24th June 2021. The mileage is
showing at only 88,000 (not warranted). The Mk3's came with a sweet
1296cc engine and 4 speed gearbox (reconditioned) and these both perform
very well with a good turn of speed for the more enthusiastic driver.
The car is finished in bright red and the paintwork looks great. The
exterior is set off with good chrome and a great set of chrome wire
wheels with a set of 155/80/13 tyres. The soft top hood is brand new and

1970 ROVER P5b COUPE 3.5 V8 AUTO. OWNED 44 YEARS AND UN-RESTORED SURVIVOR. £13,995.
TTR
828H was first registered 2nd January 1970 and is now 50 years old. It
is both MOT and road tax exempt and correctly registered as a historic
vehicle. The car is finished in the great colour combination of Burnt
Grey (roof) over Silver Birch (body) and has a tan leather interior.
This fantastic survivor car has never been restored and consifering that
fact remains in great condition. The car has had only 2 owners from new
and only one for the last 44 years. That gentleman purchased the car in
1976 for the grand sum of £1000 and the invoice is in the large history
file. He was an engineer and toolmaker by trade and maintained the car
regardless of cost for all those years. It was used as the family car
and was used for many holidays all over England and Scotland. The car
also towed a caravan and although the tow bar has now been removed it
does come with the car. It has been fitted with a stainless steel
exhaust system and a Kenlow electric cooling fan. It has recently had
new rear wheel cylinders and a new battery. The car retains the original
Radiomobile radio unit. The history box is full of old invoices for
work done over the years and there is a factory workshop manual, parts
books, owners manuals and handbooks. The exterior of the car is very
solid and the paint is nearly all original but does have some touch ups
here and there. The interior is mainly very good but the drivers seat
needs a bit of TLC. Mechanically all seems to be in excellent order with
the 3.5 litre V8 engine showing good oil pressure and plenty of pulling
power. The 3 speed automatic gearbox is excellent and changes correctly
and smoothly.
