1993 BENTLEY BROOKLANDS

Registration Number: L886 DAT

Chassis Number: SCBZE02C4RCH54035

Engine Number: 80055L410M/NKR

Transmission: Automatic

Steering: Right Hand Drive

Colour: Red Pearl

MOT Test Expiry: 30 June 2020

Mileage: 59336

Guide Price: £12000 - 14000

Lot No: 221

This prestige Brooklands is in very good condition and difficult to fault. Finished in red pearl metallic, the Bentley has contrasting magnolia leather upholstery and piping in St James Red with matching carpets and sheepskin rugs. The St James Red dashboard roll top and magnolia knee roll compliment the interior and the Elm fascia and door cappings remain in excellent condition.

The current custodian purchased the Bentley in the summer of 2010 and has used it sparingly since for special occasions only. The mileage of 59350 is understood to be correct and it has been maintained to an exceptional standard. A stainless steel exhaust system is fitted and the coachwork and underside have been rustproofed. The tyres have been treated previously with Pirtex Fluid Puncture Prevention and a spare wheel and tyre are supplied.

Interestingly, the Bentley has an expensive LPG conversion installed, which reduces the running cost by some fifty percent. It is a relatively simple process to remove this should a purist so wish, but it certainly makes the motor car more economically viable and excellent value for money.

The large history file contains the service book, invoices, MOT test certificates and the V5C registration certificate, together with the LPG conversion certificate. Also included in the sale is a heavy duty car cover.

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…

2017 CATERHAM SEVEN
Registration No: LJ17 DKP
Chassis No: SDKRCF3Z217573424

One of 60 limited edition cars launched at 2016 the Goodwood Revival

Just 349 miles
One lady owner

The Caterham Seven Sprint is the latest in a long and incredibly varied line of models and was launched at the Goodwood Revival in September 2017. The Sprint is the company’s celebration of their 60th anniversary and, hand built at the factory by Caterham, only sixty were produced for the whole of the world with the entire allocation quickly snapped up by enthusiasts. It was available in a limited range of heritage hues for the body and scarlet red Muirhead Scottish leather for the interior seats. With the style of the car reminiscent of the original Lotus 7 models, the engine is the same 80hp three-cylinder turbo-charged 660cc Suzuki engine as fitted to Caterham’s Seven 160, along with its five-speed gearbox, and the drivability and performance are said to be exciting.

This particular example is number 23 of 60 factory built cars, registered by Caterham on 14th July and delivered in July 2017. The bodywork is painted in Camberwick Green complemented by cream steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, whilst the interior has stunning Muirhead Scottish Leather adjustable seats in scarlet red embossed with ‘CATERHAM’ in the backrest. The interior also features a bespoke Moto-Lita wooden rimmed sport steering wheel with engraved aluminium centre embossed with ‘Seven Sprint’. This car comes with every available optional extra including lowered floors, sidescreen armrests, tonneau cover, matching leather seat extender for the smaller driver and dust cover for garage storage with embroidered Caterham logo. A real collector's item, this example comes complete with leather key pouch and two leather key rings all engraved with ‘Caterham Seven Sprint’. With little over delivery mileage, the car is as new and is sure to be very popular for those looking for not only a fabulous driver’s car but also an appreciating asset.
