PICTURE MAKE & MODEL TRANSMISSION ENGINE FOR SALE
Jaguar XK120 Roadster - Launched at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show, the Jaguar XK120 Roadster caused a sensation. Penned by Sir William Lyons, the model's sensuous lines seemed almost impossibly glamorous to a country still feeling the effects of rationing. While, the 120mph top speed that its name signified soon became the stuff of legend. Literally flooded with orders, Jaguar began limited hand-built production soon thereafter (although, it was not until 1950 that the factory was sufficiently 'tooled-up' to discard aluminium in favour of steel for the curvaceous bodywork). Based around a cruciform-braced box-section chassis equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and hydraulic drum brakes, the lithe two-seater proved equally adept on road or track winning both the RAC TT and Alpine Trial during 1950 (the former victory coming at the hands of Sir Stirling Moss). Credited with developing some 160bhp and 190lbft of torque in standard tune, its legendary 3442cc DOHC straight-six engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission. Arguably, the defining sportscar of its generation. Briefly, this XK120 roadster was the subject of a full body, trim & mechanical restoration in the 90’s and has covered less than 1500 miles since. Full weather equipment of hood, side screens & tonneau cover. Sensibly upgraded with Coopercraft disc brakes and indicators. Now nicely mellowed, whilst not perfect, she still looks and drive's superb. Documentaion includes, ownership history, heritage certificate, restoration & maintenance invoices.

ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH - Chassis No. 1 - This is the car Aston Martin wanted to build, not one it had to build. The production V12 Vanquish was shown to the press and potential customers in October 2000 and then the public at the Geneva Salon in March 2001. While you’ll find the skeleton of an XJS inside a DB7, in the Vanquish there are aerospace construction techniques. Within it you will find a central supporting structure doubling as the transmission tunnel and crafted from carbonfibre. Around this are bonded and riveted sections of extruded aluminium upon which hand-finished aluminium body panels are hung. The result is a massively strong and torsionally rigid platform. Production started very soon afterwards at the revitalized Newport Pagnell factory and deliveries to customers commenced in the summer of 2001. #500001 was the first car off the production line, registered 26th June and was handed over officially to 'Works Service' one month later. By 2006, it was apparent that both the days of the Vanquish and indeed Aston Martin production at Newport Pagnell were drawing to an end. By the time the final Vanquish S was completed in July 2007, a mere 2578 Vanquishes had been built at Newport Pagnell. Production of Aston Martins at the factory came to a sad end after a period in excess of 50 years. The Vanquish was the last hand built car to be made by Aston Martin at Newport Pagnell. As the first production Vanquish built, configured as a 2+0, this is truly an historically important car and will be of interest to collectors and investors alike. Resplendent in unmarked Skye Silver with matching Tan leather and alcantara upholstery. Reassuringly, as you would expect FSH (last at 'Works Service') and pleasingly low mileage at 31k. The paddle shift, with it's recent software upgrades at 'Works Service', is an absolute delight, the steering precise, the acceleration urgent and perhaps best of all - the noise just makes the spine tingle. Undoubtedly one of the most exhilarating driver cars ever built Interesting part exchange(s) 1930-1970 considered +/- cash. Telephone 07702 449904

Singer Le Mans - The success of the Nine Sport at Le Mans led immediately to the introduction in 1933 of the first Le Mans model. This was the two seater equivalent of the Nine Sports and it typified the British sports car of the 1930’s. At a price of 215 pounds, an output of 34 h.p. and a top speed of over 70 m.p.h. with the windshield lowered, it provided keen competition for its closest rivals, the J2 and P series M.G.’s. The Le Mans 4 cylinder performance engine of 972 cc included high lift harmonic cams, a counterbalanced crankshaft and an extra large capacity ribbed oil sump for greater cooling capacity. Additional drive train modifications included a heavy duty clutch and a closer ratio gear box, with third gear reduced from 8.7:1 to 7.5:1. Body changes included the addition of an externally mounted 12 gallon slab fuel tank, fitted with a quick action filler cap and twin rear mounted spare tires to complete the competition look. The new upswept scuttle cowls also signaled that this was a machine that meant business on the road as well as the track. Supplied by Agents Cook & Palmer to privateer racer J.R. Hodge (Sir John Hodge in later life) on the 1st February 1934, Reg. AYK 561. An extract from correspondence on file from Sir John in 1988 confirms it’s race pedigree “I raced the car at Donnington, Brooklands and of course at the dirt track at Greenford. I also won quite a number of speed trials.” Records show that he won the Junior Class at Brooklands on the 7th July 1934 at an average speed of 73.89 mph and at the Greenford dirt track. In fact the picture shown was taken for the Automobile Racing Club magazine and was accompanied by the text below: Dirt Track - from the

Aston Martin DB2/4 Tickford Saloon - The DB2/4 car introduced from late 1952 and included a number of significant changes from its predecessor model, the DB2. This included raising the roof line to accommodate 2 vestigial rear seats, the introduction of a rear hatch, (the first true “hatchback”), and to accommodate this extra weight, the engine size and power was increased. In short the car was transformed into one that the family man could use too. It remains to this day an amazingly practical, beautifully constructed package, whether for club racing at one extreme or in which one can just go down to the shops at the other. It remains a brilliant long distance touring car for the age of the car. The Tickford bodied DB2/4 Mk2 was manufactured from late 1955. It came with additional bright-work, minor changes to the bonnet construction, better front seats and lighter than it's predecessor. The chassis and 3 litre engine specifications were carried over unchanged. Extremely rare with only 145 saloons produced before the introduction of the MK3 in 1958. The DB2/4 MkII on offer here has until recently been in a single family ownership since 1973. An older restoration which still shows and drives extremely well having covered very few miles since. A matching number car with no deviations from original specification making it eligible for a multitude of events - in particular the Mille Miglia. With entries closing for the Mille Miglia on the 20th December, if you are quick you could potentially be running in next year’s race. To arrange a viewing call 07702 449904
