This 1996 Rover Mini Cabriolet is something of a rarity and is one of just 1,081 cars made by Rover in partnership with Tickford and latterly Trim Techniques. This particular car is number 1039 which makes it one of the very last to come off the production line. Approximately 70% of the cabriolets were exported which makes this a rare UK car. This particular example was finished in British Racing Green which really sets the car off well with its 12 inch Revolution alloy wheels. This car has completed a mileage of 87,727 and appears to have been well cared for and has even been the subject of a Cooper World magazine article. The Cabriolet is equipped with the same 1275cc single port fuel injection that the Mini Cooper was issued with meaning the car has plenty of power for wind in your hair motoring. The body work remains in excellent condition albeit with the odd blemish but as the photographs will demonstrate the car presents very well indeed. The interior is still in good order and the Recaro style seats remain in good condition with no rips or tears. The hood has a slight tear in the outer skin on one side but is otherwise generally in good condition. The interior wood veneer is beginning to lift on the edges in places but is still very presentable. The car starts on the button, runs cleanly and moves through the gears without issue. It is very responsive and a fun car especially when the sun shines and the top comes down. More recent mechanical work includes a new clutch, front and rear shock absorbers and fuel pump. The car was last serviced at 86,618 miles. The history file contains various invoices relating to previous work carried out along with a copy of a magazine where the car was featured along with a number of old MOT certificates and other paperwork issued when the car was new. It has 5 previous keepers. The current MOT is advisory free. Given the prices trajectory of early Minis we feel it is only a matter of time before this limited production run of Rover Cabriolets starts to see some serious price appreciation and this car should make for a fun long term classic investment.

This 1964 Triumph Vitesse 6 is a truly lovely example of one of these cars with fantastic provenance. The car is an exceptional unrestored original example and it shows in the panel gaps which are superb. Apart from the odd minor blemish the paint is excellent and the panels are all straight. It is a similar story for the underneath which is also in superb condition having been heavily waxoyled and well preserved. There are no repairs and the floor pans are as they should be. The interior is also excellent with new carpets having been fitted recently. The car was fitted with a reconditioned gearbox in 2013 and a new clutch. The head was converted for unleaded fuel in 2014. Turning to the provenance, the first owner of the car has kept a log of every fuel fill up and work that was done from 1964 up until 1999 when he sold the car with a mileage of 83,200. He even lists when the car was taken on holiday and towed his caravan in 1971! All services are listed and any work done over the years has been fully documented. It is a fantastic history. The history file also includes the owners handbook, The car starts on the button and drives extremely well. It has just had a fresh MOT with no advisories. If you are seeking an unmolested and straight Vitesse this one is for you. We would keep it if we had the space!

This 1975 MGB GT V8 has been with its last custodian since 1995 and for all but two of those years the car was carefully stored off the road. It has therefore complete little mileage over the last 26 years which accounts for the relatively low and warranted mileage of 85,938 miles. The condition of the car is superb and it has been clearly well preserved. The underside is original and in great condition with no signs of any repairs. The brakes lines, brakes and cylinders have all been refurbished in recent years. The body of the car is also in superb order with the odd blemish, but overall very nice indeed as the photographs will demonstrate. The shut lines are also very good and representative of a car that has been looked after. The interior is now leather and with little use in recent years it is in superb condition and suits the car well. The dashboard and instruments are also in very good condition. We have recently recommissioned the car which has included tuning the carbs and fitting new rear shock absorbers. The car has a current MOT which is advisory free. The engine starts on the button and runs cleanly. The car runs through the gears without issue and it has a working overdrive on fourth gear. The history file goes back to the late 80s and includes every MOT certificate from 1980 which warrants the current mileage at just under 86,000 miles. There are lots of miscellaneous invoices on file covering the life of the car along with a workshop manual. This is a particularly nice example of the later MGB GT V8 cars.

This superb Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe is an original home market right hand drive car that has clearly led a cosseted life as demonstrated by an extensive history file detailing work that has been done over the years to keep it in largely original condition but superb mechanical order. The car has been with its last custodian for over 10 years and during this time it has had any work needed done which has been thoroughly documented with extensive notes on all parts and labour that have been needed. Prior to this the history file contains lots of invoices for work done and even has a second hand car sales invoice dated 1976 when the car was sold from a dealer in Streatham high road. This is a matching numbers car which has a very rare factory option of power steering fitted which was only done to the last of the 4.2 cars coming off the production line. The original power steering has been replaced with a more robust modern electric unit, but all of the parts from the original unit have been retained should the next custodian wish to return the car to its factory spec. The car also has a factory fitted webasto sunroof which gives the perfect solution for hopefully the summer ahead. The body is in excellent condition with just minor paintwork blemishes. The underside is also in excellent condition. Mechanically the car has had money spent whenever it has needed it and a good example is in 2018 when the engine was removed from the car to address any oil leaks and fit new seals and gaskets where needed. The car is now dry underneath with no leaks. At the same time other work was carried out such as resurfacing the flywheel and fitting new ring gear and refurbishing the clutch assembly. The total cost for all of this work was just under £10,000. Regular servicing has been undertaken which is all documented on file. There is a thick folder detailing the work carried out over the years. The car starts on the button and sounds great. it moves through the gears without issue and runs cleanly. It is nicely set up and drives very well indeed which reflects the care it has received in recent years. The interior is in good condition with the driver's seat showing some wear but there are no rips or tears. The black leather and white coachwork with chrome wire wheels really set the car off perfectly. The history file contains all of the invoices we have mentioned above along with a good MOT history back to the late 1980s along with a operating, maintenance and service book and a workshop manual. If you are seeking a Series 2 E-Type which is extremely well sorted at a good price, this car should be on your list to view. Act quick as we don't expect it to hang around at this price!

This lovely MG TF 1250 comes with excellent provenance having had only four custodians, two of whom are from the same family. The car started life as a 17th birthday present to the first owner who retained the car from 1954 to 2009. It was then kept by the second owner for 2 years before being sold to the family of the current custodian. The mileage shows as 54,000 which is believed genuine and the fact that the original seats have survived largely in tact demonstrates this along with the known provenance of the car which we have on file. Around 2010/11 the car was subjected to a complete body refurbishment to a high standard which involved taking the car back to the chassis and fitting it with a new body tub, restoring and replacing panels where necessary and finishing it off with a high standard of paint finish. The restoration also importantly included a new wiring loom and anything that needed to be refurbished was done so. In recent months the temperature gauge capillary tube has been replaced and everything on the car works as it should. We have lots of photographs on file showing the extensive restoration which was carried out. The paint even now still looks fresh and the chrome also remains in good order. The car still has its original wet weather gear which remains in good condition.The original seats are showing their age, but remain in quite good order and we feel should not be restored as it really adds to the character of the car. The engine has not been restored and is low mileage for a car of this age. The engine runs well with no issues, it does not smoke and pulls well through the gears. Overall, this is a very nicely restored example of a TF 1250 which has been well maintained and should deliver many years of trouble free motoring if looked after. It has great provenance with a low number of owners.

This MGB GT has been in the same family ownership since new, passing from father to son in 1997. The car has completed very little mileage in recent decades and has been in storage for the last 10 years until its recent recommissioning. The total mileage showing is believed correct at 54,675 miles although we do not have sufficient MOT history to warrant this. What we do know is that the car received an Ivor Searle reconditioned engine in 1999 and this engine has completed only 856 miles which makes this a very low mileage car. In 2006 the car was also subject to a total body restoration which included new panels where required including two new front wings and a complete respray. The interior was also re-trimmed during the restoration and as the photographs will show the interior is superb, showing little wear and looking very fresh. The total cost of this restoration was £6,471.74. The recent recommissioning process has included a new battery, new fuel pump, new clutch slave cylinder and a new alternator. A fresh MOT has been issued which is advisory free. The car continues to present very well with the odd paint blemish, but otherwise in very good order. The underside is clean and in good condition. With the prices of good chrome bumper cars now comfortably exceeding £10,000 it is inevitable that the rubber bumper prices are going to follow higher and this car in our view is excellent value for money given its low ownership and superb condition.
