2004 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT - HISTORICS AUCTIONEERS Saturday 21st September 2019 Mercedes Benz World Weybridge, Surrey



FEATURED AUCTION
HISTORICS AUCTIONEERS
Saturday 21st September 2019
Mercedes Benz World
Weybridge, Surrey



2004 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT
Registration No: WA04 DGV
Chassis No: SCBCE63W14C021254
Engine No: 002999
Estimate: £13,000 - £17,000


Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2003, the first generation Continental GT differed from previous incarnations due to it no longer being a coach-built car. However, as a result, the price at launch was significantly less than the Continental R (approximately half) which exposed the car to a much wider customer. Despite the lower price, however, the new GT was still roundly well received with celebrities, sports personalities alike buying in droves due to the six-litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine with 552bhp coupled to opulent surroundings and an ultra-comfortable ride. After all, this was designed to be a mile crunching continent cruiser and with that huge W12 engine coupled to a smooth six-speed automatic box distributed by the Quattro four-wheel-drive system, it was equally at home in Mayfair as it was on the Autobahn where it was capable of an astonishing 196mph and a 0-60 time of just 4.7 seconds. The Continental offered the most comfortable way of reaching supercar speeds and, still to this day, is a fabulously capable GT.
This example of an early GT is presented in a rare colour combination of Diamond Black with Cinnamon hide. This car boasts massage and heated front seats with electric memory, Xenon headlights, satellite navigation (with European discs) and electric folding mirrors. Offered with a stamped service history booklet, the vendor describes the history as very good indeed. This example boasts the original Bentley telephone and upgraded alloy wheels. Accompanying the car is an MoT test certificate valid until May 2020. Continental GT's are an incredible value for money and combine opulence with speed like no other, this example is without a doubt very well priced and could represent fabulous value for money.

1967 FORD MUSTANG SUPERCHARGED FASTBACK GT - HISTORICS AUCTIONS Mercedes Benz World Brooklands Dr, Weybridge KT13 0SL Saturday 18th May 2019



FEATURED AUCTION

HISTORICS AUCTIONS
Mercedes Benz World
Brooklands Dr, Weybridge KT13 0SL
Saturday 18th May 2019




1967 FORD MUSTANG SUPERCHARGED FASTBACK GT
Registration No: BRD 251E
Chassis No: 7F02A120100
Guide Price: £50,000 - £60,000


The original restoration of this Fastback took place across the pond in the USA; a standard Mustang GT was acquired before an extensive restoration took place. The owner was meticulous and had a very specific idea of what he wanted. It underwent a full nut and bolt rebuild before being painted in rare Ford Burnt Amber (Code B). It was also specified to have the correct factory ribbed back panel, an option only available in 1967 as well as, very unusually, a tilt option for the steering wheel. The engine was originally an A-Code unit but was then upgraded to K-Code specification. This refers to a durable, lightweight ‘Hi-Po’ 289c.I, V8 and featured special equipment to make an official rating of 271bhp. Uprated cylinder heads, camshaft, air intake, distributor and carburettors were also included. Until 1967, it was the top engine option available to a Mustang. It was then sold by muscle car specialists, MyRod.com in Texas who described the bodywork as 'laser straight' and went on to make a film about it; https://myrod.com/cars/1967-mustang-gta-fastback-12j/
Now, this is where the story really gets interesting, using this already immaculate canvas, BRD 2518 has now been taken to the next level. Externally, aside from the impressively large bonnet scoop, the car looks the same as it did back in the USA. However, inside that gleaming engine bay, almost every single element has been upgraded. Most notably to the engine of course but also the transmission, suspension, brakes and even the fuel tank. The entirety of these extensive works have been documented, photographed and collated.
The heart of this leviathan is a 5.7 litre, 550bhp (dyno’d) with supercharger. The pace and power of this car are unlike anything you will find in any classic car, or a modern car come to that. The fully custom built exhaust pipe has an active switch, disengaging the full system and passing the exhaust (almost) straight from the engine block. The ‘loud’ button, you could say. Suspension, brakes and drivetrain match the power output, as you would expect. All additional parts were sourced from the USA with only the highest quality acceptable.

(Please note – we have been informed by mechanics that the componentry used combined with the strength of this particular engine allows for additional tuning up to 700bhp).

An enormous amount of work has been performed on the car over the years costing in excess of £90,000 (all receipts included in file). As is evident from this total, literally no expense was spared over the course of this restoration. The majority of which, completed by HR Owen Lamborghini (lead mechanic had a passion for American muscle when not working on Lamborghinis and Bugatti’s) with additional work completed by Cotswold Classic Car Restorations and then by highly respected, Bill Sheppard’s Mustang. This is one of the most extreme Mustangs ever offered for sale at a fraction of what it cost to buy, import or build.
If you want to make an entrance, look no further…
