1973 DAIMLER SOVEREIGN

Chassis No: 1T4027BW

The 1968 Jaguar XJ Series I made its debut just prior to the London Motor Show on September 26 of 1968. It was advertised as Jaguar’s best saloon car that embodied sportiness, comfort, performance and style. The final version presented to the world featured a base model with a 2.8-litre engine with a lower price that was minus the leather trim. The 4.2 engine as a straight six with twin carbs, was moderately priced for its class and generated 245bhp, accelerating from 0-60 in 9 seconds with a top speed of 124mph. It was available with a four-speed manual gearbox or an automatic. It won “Car of the Year” in Britain, but was not considered for the European distinction overall. These models cleared production lines and didn’t spend much time on showroom floors as their popularity soared.

In October 1969 Jaguar introduced the Daimler variants of the XJ6 models – Daimler Sovereign, Daimler Double Six, Daimler Double Six Vanden Plas – which were essentially the same car with a Daimler grille and higher equipment levels. The appeal of the Series 1 to enthusiasts is down to its purity of design and its relative rarity. It was also built before British Leyland began influencing Jaguar’s activities so product quality is considered to be higher than later variants.

This beautiful example has enjoyed much restoration work over recent years, supported by many bills for works completed, in addition to a photographic record of the restoration and trimming work. The Daimler comes from low ownership over the years and is offered with the original book pack containing the Daimler Passport to Service book and various owner’s manuals. Also in the file is a detailed valuation report, UK V5 document and several older MoT certificates dating back to the first owner.

Finished in Turquoise with an Autumn Leaf leather interior, this both stunning and rare variant of the XJ6 is ready to be enjoyed by its next enthusiastic owner.

1974 MERCEDES BENZ W115 230 LHD

Estimate: £5000 - £7000

MOT and Tax-exempt Purchased in Paris Mercedes-Benz Paris Porte D’Orleans1974 then spent its life in the south of France only having 2 owners. A classic Mercedes enthusiast saw that it was incredibly solid and imported it being driven from France to the UK with no issues. This journey was featured in the Mercedes Enthusiast October 2016 issue – Magazine copy included in the paperwork. It was then given a mechanical overall at Edward Hall Classic Mercedes having extensive work including a Major service, new drive shafts, new prop shaft mountings & couplings, new rear subframe mountings, cleaned sump, clutch master cylinder replaced. This example is believed to have 130,000 miles on the odometer.

A lot of examples are now looking tired, have had welding or asking very high asking prices. The car is stored in a dry garage and only driven in dry conditions. 

The current owner has given the car a complete cosmetic overhaul, and as a result, it is now a very fresh example that gets lots of attention. The interior is superb, with leather seating, new black carpets & parcel shelf, brand new rear seatbelts, an uncracked dash and headliner also in great condition. Everything works on the interior, original Blaupunkt radio with analogue pre-sets, dash lights, heater, lights, wipers, indicators and windscreen water jets all work thanks to electrical specialist ‘Unique Integrations’ who gave the car a complete run through. 

The current owner has chosen to have the rear lights backdated to the W114 smooth/chrome version. W115 original ribbed rear lights will be included also. Comes with original paperwork including manual/service book. UK V5, last MOT in 2018 it sailed through and is now MOT and Tax exempt, costs £80 insurance a year. The car has had a mention in Classic and Sports Car coverage of Bicester Heritage Sunday Scramble being referred to by their Editor in Chief in their feature as “a simply perfect Stroke-8 Mercedes-Benz saloon.” The car starts fantastically quick and runs superbly, a perfect classic that gets great attention. This W115 is ready to go in time for summer.

1997 TVR CERBERA

Chassis No: SDLFAC2P2VE01150

 The TVR Cerbera was manufactured between 1996 and 2003. The name is derived from ‘Cerberus’, the three-headed beast of Greek legend that guarded the entrance of Hades. The car itself was designed from the start as a four-seater. The rear seats are smaller than the front, a design commonly referred to as a ‘2+2’. However, the interior is designed so that the passenger seat can slide farther forward than the driver’s seat. This allows more room for the person sitting behind the front passenger.
This stunning example, first registered on New Year’s Eve of 1997, has clearly been cosseted for all of its 22 years. The Cerbera has covered a mere 33,000 miles, supported by a fully stamped service record at TVR main dealers in addition to invoices for works completed. Notably the TVR is fitted with the more powerful AP Racing brake calipers to the front and rear.
Always garaged and used as a third car by the current owner, the Cerbera has never been used in the rain and has always been MOT’d, even when not in use. The TVR is complete with a Pioneer Bluetooth stereo, new key fobs, an indoor cover and trickle charger.
With just 1000 in the last 3 years and having enjoyed a large service recently, in addition to new Avon ZZ5 tyres on each corner, this is a fabulous example of TVR’s giant-killing supercar.

1972 VOLKSWAGEN CAMPER/COFFEE VAN

The Volkswagen Type 2, known officially (depending on body type) as the Transporter, Kombi or Microbus, or, more informally, as the Bus (US) or Camper (UK), was introduced in 1950 by the Volkswagen as its second car model following the Beetle. Like the Beetle, the van has received numerous nicknames worldwide, including the Microbus, Minibus, and, because of its popularity during the counterculture movement of the 1960s, the Hippie Van. In late 1967, the second generation of the Volkswagen Type 2 (T2) was introduced, built in Germany until 1979. This second-generation Type 2 lost its distinctive split front windshield, and was slightly larger and heavier than its predecessor. Its common nicknames are Breadloaf and Bay-window, or Loaf and Bay for short.
This 1972 Camper has been converted into a commercial coffee-making bus, fitted with an Astoria Perla coffee machine, water heater, water filter/softener, mazza coffee grinder, Clarke generator, fold-out counter, tables, chairs and all crockery and utensils.
With a recent full engine service and attention to the brakes, and finished in a super-cool and striking 1970s colour scheme, the VW is ready to earn its living at various festivals and other events over the summer months.
