Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster - The car was originally supplied by Mercedes Benz, Bochen, Germany to (I believe) the first owner, a Mr Van Der Veer, a Dutchman living in Ede, Holland. The oldest invoice I have is from 1961 which shows the car having covered just 6,840km. It was later sold to a Musuem in September 1964 with approximately 49,000km - true mileage 65k taking into account a documented speedo change at 16k (copies of initial advert and correspondence showing payment for the car in instalments). During this ownership the owners competed in various rallies including the 1999 Tulip Rally which is very well documented. As if to puntuacte the point, header tank and air box were painted red and blue respectively so that they coudn't be confused! The car was well maintained by the Museum using mostly their own staff. This car has not ever been fully restored or needed to be. It is extremely rare to find a genuine original 300SL with such outstanding provenance. When I bought the car, it had what I thought were the wrong type wheel covers (having disposed of them, I have since found out that they were a factory option, albeit an ugly one) velour carpet (threadbare) and little holes in the winglets where there had once been chrome finishers. Other than that the car was exceptionally solid and mechanically very good. I didn't particularly like the colour (looked like primer) and as it needed painting, I decided to have it done in the, I think, best colour - Silver. Whilst it was in the paintshop, some minor rust was found, cut out and repaired. I was very keen to keep it as original as possible - in so far as the brief was preservation and to only replace items that were irrepairable. At the same time chrome work was re-plated as required. The luggage rack was not re-plated as I never intended to use it. Paint is flawless with the mostly original interior beautifully patinated. Mechanically, the car has been checked through, serviced and repairs carried out where necessary. This is not a show car, therefore, it has not been over detailed - it was always my intention to use and enjoy it. Although the speedo is showing 87,000KM, the true total mileage is 103,000km (around 60,000 miles). The car is still on it's original Dutch plates and only has 2 registered owners.

Ferrari 246 Gt Dino - This 1973 Classic was the subject of a full body off restoration completed in the latter part of 1994 by a Ferrari specialist. Complete with all bills, photographic evidence of rebuild, 3 binders of documented history, handbook, leather binder, original tool kit, jack, a pre-restoration 'bill of sale' for £100,000 plus restoration and misc. invoices totalling £79,000. The car has reputedly covered a total of 15,700 miles but I have nothing to substantiate it other than on the sales invoice mentioned above when it was sold as being a genuine 13,000 mile car. Nonetheless, the car has covered less than 1,900 miles since it's full nut and bolt rebuild and is still in mint condition having only been used to go to shows and NEVER in the rain. I had the rear calipers rebuilt last week (which had seized through insufficient use, apparently quite common) and took it for it's MOT. I was fortunate enough to be able to view the underside whilst it was on the ramp and I'm pleased to say it is still near perfect. Absolutely and totally rust free. Needless to say, it sailed through it's MOT. She drives exactly as she should and feels very tight.

ASTON MARTIN INTERNATIONAL 2/4 - The foundations were laid for the commencement of proper series production with the formation of Aston Martin Motors Ltd in 1926 under the stewardship of Augustus ‘Bert’ Bertelli and William Renwick. Built at the firm’s new Feltham works, the first ‘new generation’ Aston Martins were displayed at the 1927 London Motor Show at Olympia. Like his predecessors, ‘Bert’ Bertelli understood the effect of competition success on Aston Martin sales and sanctioned the construction of two works racers for the 1928 season. Based on the 1.5-litre, overhead-camshaft road car, the duo featured dry-sump lubrication and this feature was carried over to the International sports model, newly introduced for 1929. The International was manufactured between 1929 and 1932, mostly with bodies by Augustus’s brother Enrico ‘Harry’ Bertelli. A contemporary road test of an International recorded a top speed of 81mph with up to 90mph attainable, depending on the back-axle ratio. The new Aston was soon making its mark on the racetrack, Private owners entered all kinds of competitions, while team drivers included Sammy Davis, Eddie Hall, Cyril Paul, Maurice Harvey and George Eyston. This particular car’s chassis number indicates that it was manufactured in December 1930 and is the 94th of the 1st Series built. First registered in April 1931, ‘HX 3848’ was retained as a works demonstrator by Major Cyril Maurice Harvey (aka Maurice Harvey) Aston Martin’s newly appointed Sales Manager and occasional team driver. In the same year he was to co-drive with 'Bert' Bertelli to a class win (5th overall) in that years 24 hours Le Mans piloting an International. The car subsequently spent a remarkable 66 years in the hands of one family, coming into their possession on the 10th December 1935 when it was purchased from Rowland Smith Motors, of Hampstead, London NW3. All significant correspondence relating to the car’s life over the subsequent seven decades of ownership are contained within the accompanying and most extensive history files, including the original sales invoice (for £150) and a letter from Aston Martin Ltd responding to an enquiry about its condition. This correspondence states that ‘HX 3848’ had covered 24,000 miles at the time of its last visit to the works in February 1935.For the next 19 years the International was used as everyday family transport and had covered 117,606 miles by the time it was taken off the road in December 1954 and placed in storage. In 1962, the car’s restoration was commenced using original parts wherever possible, the most significant deviations being a conversion of the engine to shell bearings and up-rated pre-war specification. This most meticulous and sympathetic restoration proceeded steadily for the next 30-or-so years, and was finally completed on Good Friday 1995. Almost every significant feature revealed during the rebuild was faithfully recorded and this remarkable attention to detail has ensured that ‘HX 3848’ remains outstandingly original. One of the finest examples of the International series to survive, the car has an enviable tally of concours awards to its credit, the first of which was gained in the summer of 1995 at the AMOC’s Diamond Jubilee St John Horsfall meeting at Silverstone where it was judged ‘Best Newcomer’. Over the succeeding five seasons the International won its class at every club concours event entered and is very well known in AMOC circles. Passing to a new custodian in 2001, in more recent years it has competed at the Wiscombe Park Hill Climb and AMOC Goodwood Sprint. With just 2,700 miles since it's complete rebuild, it remains in excellent condition, a credit to its original restorers’ efforts and careful stewardship. Beautifully finished in black with dark red wings and matching leather upholstery, ‘HX 3848’ is an incredibly well documented International which is unlikely to be bettered. The history files encompass every aspect of its life: restoration bills, receipts, concours win reports, assorted correspondence, the original buff log books, 1935 sales receipt and period photographs. Included in the sale is an extensive, valuable and useful spares package. Equally at home on the road, track or concours lawn,‘HX 3484’ is ‘on the button’, driving without fault. If you are looking for the best, this is it.
