1984 FIAT X1/9 - BARONS AUCTIONEERS Sandown Park Racecourse Portsmouth Rd, Esher KT10 9AJ Tuesday 30th April 2019



FEATURED AUCTION

1984 FIAT X1/9
Registration No: A117 ODY
Chassis No: 7150766
Engine No: Not Specified
Guide Price: £2,000 - £3,000

1983 Fiat X19 described by the vendor as a rare classic in very good condition. This car comes in what must surely be the best colour combination available, red over metallic charcoal with genuine gold alloys. This colour combination was only manufactured for one year, and with just twelve 1983 models left on the road, you are very unlikely to see another one like this. The car is 100% original except for one important detail, the earlier style bumpers have been retro-filled and powder coated by the previous owner at huge expense (well over £1,000). They look fantastic and this also saves a great deal of weight. In addition, the engine has been tuned by a specialist so that it has slightly more power and perhaps more importantly, it passes the emissions test every year.

The present owner has owned this car for 4 years and has covered just over 5,000 miles. The MOT was issued on 20 June 2018 with one advisory (tyre wear on one wheel). The vendor will supply the car to the auctioneer with 12 months MOT. The car looks great and drives superbly.

Recent work on the car includes braking system overhaul with lines bled and new hoses, new clutch and brake slave cylinders, new tyres, steering column overhaul, new side indicators and number plate lights, new exhaust, new battery, pop up lights mechanism overhaul, and driver’s door realignment.

With modest investments to address minor flaws to the bodywork and replace the electric window motors, this car could be brought to an excellent standard very cheaply. This lot includes £1,000 worth of spare parts (4 boxes), a spare ignition key (uncut), Haynes manual and full-service history file

1993 VOLVO 440XI - BARONS AUCTIONEERS Sandown Park Racecourse Portsmouth Rd, Esher KT10 9AJ Tuesday 30th April 2019



FEATURED AUCTION

1993 VOLVO 440XI
5-Door Hatchback
Registration No: K831 UAD


This Volvo 440 Xi 5 Door Hatchback is an affordable way to get into modern classics. This Volvo is described by the vendor as needing a little fettling and tidying up, but a running driving restoration. These are quite rare now and this example comes with only 84,000 miles recorded and an MOT until 6th March 2020. The car has been HPI checked clear. It is described as quite a clean little car, in blue-grey metallic, with the Xi rear spoiler and side stripe, all the rage on the early 90s cars, two-tone seats, power steering, heated front seats, but the stereo is missing.
The interior is in good condition but there is a small wear hole on the driver’s top part of the seat, but nothing much. The interior does need a clean but it is all there, carpets are good, headlining is good, the rear parcel shelf is in good condition and wind up windows which is a great thing. The exterior needs a good machine polish and there are some marks, a small area of rust on the bottom of the driver’s door, but no major dents. There are some rust bubbles at the bottom of the passenger door also, but overall it is a straight car. All the lights etc are in good condition and so is the glass. The car starts every time.

1981 BMW E12 M535i - COYS AUCTIONEERS Spring Classics Sale Royal Horticultural Society, Lindley Hall, Vincent Square Westminster, London, SW1P 2PE Tuesday 2nd April 2019

1981 BMW E12 M535i
Ex Tony Pond
Estimate: £20000 - £25000


Of the Zealots, by the zealots, for the zealots,’ is how BMW pitched its M Division model line-up to its largest market (America) in ’87. The dictionary defines a zealot as ‘a person who is fanatical and uncompromising in the pursuit of their ideals’. Few at BMW’s M Division in Garching back in those early days would have protested at that definition of their day-to-day work.
Introduced as part of the M1 launch and hoping to broaden the appeal of the new BMW ‘M’ badge, the M535i was far racier than any other BMW saloon that had been seen before. The engine was from the E9 CSL, a limited-slip diff was standard and the whole car was overhauled to create a much more serious performance prospect.
Just 450 right-hand drive cars were ever made, with 200 for the UK; bear in mind the M535 emerged nearly 40 years ago, that it was a powerful rear-wheel-drive car with no driver assists and how cheap it once was, and it’s a miracle that any have survived.
This wonderful early M-series presented in arctic silver with original M-stipes and period correct 16″ Alpina alloy wheels was once owned by ex-rally driver Tony Pond. The interior is said to be in superb original condition from the headlining, the Recaro seats to the carpet, retaining the original steering wheel and M dog pattern gear knob. Complete with original owners wallet and service book, this is a fantastic example of the forefather to the cult M-series BMW’s

1967 ABARTH 850 TC DERIVATA 'TRIBUTE' - COYS AUCTIONEERS Spring Classics Sale Royal Horticultural Society, Lindley Hall, Vincent Square Westminster, London, SW1P 2PE Tuesday 2nd April 2019

1967 ABARTH 850 TC DERIVATA 'TRIBUTE'
Estimate: £25000 - £30000
Chassis No: 100D2472263


The Abarth 850 TC (Turismo Competition), was started to build from Abarth at the end of 1960, whose road version remained in production until 1966. Fiat supplied the 600 without some mechanical parts (crankshaft, brakes, carburettor and exhaust) that were mounted by Abarth turning the 600 into 850 TC.

The special parts characterizing the versions developed by Abarth were composed of a dashboard (with specific instrumentation with speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge and oil temperature gauge), 3-spoke steering wheel, specific carburettor mounted on a special aluminum housing, oil pan in aluminum, suction and discharge system for specific gases, etc. To mention also the fact that on these versions the tailgate, which closed the engine placed in the rear of the car, was raised with latches to increase the cooling of the engine itself and therefore its efficiency.
The Abarths have won for years in the circuits of the whole world, sometimes beating cars of power and bigger capacity, and these victories have helped to build the legend of the Abarth brand and in particular of the 850 TC.
This Stunning Abarth is a fantastic tribute for one of Fthe its most famous cars and represents a fun car for vintage rallies or hillclimbs. Originally imported from Italy and modified in all the right ways to insure its ‘Giant-killing’ ways are replicated.
