More than 70 of the finest cars available on the market are here to be sold today, some in a public sale for the very first time.

I certainly believe that the catalogue is testament to the strength of the current classic car market, as well as the skill of the Silverstone Auctions team in bringing such special cars to market. With a collection of such quality going under the hammer, please do not hesitate to talk to a member of our team if you require any assistance in securing your dream car.

France. In July 2015, CQ-667-QL was purchased by our vendor from Michel Ballario through ‘SB Autos’ in Villeneuve-Loubet in the South of France. It was imported to the UK and submitted for a pre-registration MOT on 6/08/2015 with the odometer indicating 48,841km. UK Registration was agreed on 16/09/2015, with the registration number H162 HEJ being allocated. Shortly afterwards, it was sent to Ferrari specialists, ‘Autofficina’ in Epsom for a full assessment and they were subsequently instructed to go through the car completely. From their detailed invoice, it would appear that they were extremely thorough. They carried out a major, engine-out service with all the belts, filters and gaskets replaced and fresh fluids throughout. The radiators were repaired, central locking and electric mirrors serviced, all the lighting tested and made UK-legal, all wiring checked with fresh connectors where appropriate, the cam covers repainted and the engine bay tidied and steam-cleaned. The dashboard had presumably suffered from the effects of too much Mediterranean sun, so it was removed, re-trimmed in black leather, reassembled and refitted. Further detailing was carried out and the final account was over £8,800. The sparkling Testarossa was returned to our delighted vendor in the middle of December 2015 with the odometer still indicating 48,841km, and with the reading currently at 49,109km, it would suggest that the car has been very lightly used in recent months. The invoice from Autofficina is in the leather book pack alongside various French Bills of Sale, export documents, correspondence with the DVLA, the UK V5C, a spare set of keys and the original Warranty Card and Service Book. The service record appears comprehensive, and is stamped at 9,709, 20,541, 30,598, 37,935, 42,283 and finally 48,841kms (30,525 miles).

The Ford Capri is a fastback coupé that was built by Ford Motor Company from 1969 until 1986. The inspiration came from Ford of America’s phenomenally successful Mustang, and Ford of Europe were naturally keen to replicate that success on this side of the pond. The resultant new coupé was actually designed by American Philip T. Clark, known for his design input into the Mustang. This UK-supplied, right-hand drive car was purchased new from Ford main dealer W.H.Perry Ltd. in North Finchley. The car had been ordered in early 1985 but the purchaser, who was retired, postponed delivery until the new ‘C’ prefix registration was issued on 1st August. It had never been the intention of the car’s owner that it should be put to daily use. He had been a Ford enthusiast and had finally realised his dreams of buying a Capri. The car was cherished and although used infrequently, never missed its annual service. Each service was dutifully stamped by the dealer, confirming its very low annual mileage. By 1997, the car had covered a total of just 3,695 miles, at which time its ageing owner had been taken ill. Shortly afterwards, the Capri was laid-up and stored until 2006 when it was driven again but only covered minimal mileage until 2009, bringing the total to just over 4,000 when its owner passed away. The Capri was then driven from London to his daughter, where it remained until very recently. This is, without doubt, one of the finest Capris we have seen in recent years and is a must for any Ford collector.

In the early 1940s, Maurice Wilks, Rover’s Chief Designer and brother of the company’s Managing Director, Spencer, owned a beaten-up Willys Jeep that he used on his farm in Anglesey. When faced with having to replace it, he embarked on designing his own off-road utility vehicle; the “Rover for the Land” was born. Launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in 1948, who could have predicted that production would have carried on well into the next century. An instant success, within months, order books were overflowing. This iconic off-roader must be one of the most recognised vehicles on the planet, having been adopted by Police Forces, construction companies, farmers and Armed Services around the World. By the early 1950s, Land Rovers were outselling Rover’s other vehicles by a factor of two to one. This 1949, Series I, 80-inch, ‘lights behind the grille’ model is fitted with Land Rover’s 2.25-litre petrol engine, making it more usable than the original 1.6-litre unit, which also had a habit of overheating. JAO 327 also benefits from the later, less recalcitrant gearbox. The chassis and bulkhead appear to be in good order and the interior is fitted with the correct seats, dash panel and door tops. This old “Landy” has had only two previous keepers in 68 years. Although the car runs, drives and stops, this ever-popular off-roader is unquestionably ripe for restoration.

The most notable differences being the larger air intake, open headlights, new tail lights, and a wrap around rear bumper. The interior became more comfortable, with fully-reclining seats and revised switchgear. Braking efficiency was improved with larger callipers all round. The Series II was now the most developed, reliable and rewarding driver’s car to date and satisfied the market for refinement without diluting the classic E-type design. Manufactured in November 1970 and exported to the United States, this splendid left-hand drive E-type was repatriated to British shores on the 24th September 1991 by its previous owner, who kept it for the next twenty-six years.

One of the more unusual cars in today’s sale, but strangely no less appealing… Clearly, the labour of a truly skilled craftsman, an accompanying magazine feature from the April 1999 ‘Mini Magazine’ confirmed that, yes indeed, this car is the creation of “bodyshop-wizard” Paul Fisher over a six-year period, commencing in 1990. The feature goes on to educate us that the project began by welding in a new floor and new inner and outer sills to the 1979 Mini 1000 Saloon donor. The underside was then etch-primed, seam-sealed and stone- chipped. There were many more stages in the car’s build, including chopping, lowering and sculpting the roof in excruciating detail, before 18 hours were invested applying the paintwork. Paul says “I did it all properly, zinc priming, ‘waxoyling’, and seam welding”. The detail required to ‘french in’ the rear light double curvatures, flush-fit petrol cap, number plate housing and Rover grille is really something. The paint colour is VW Inca Gelb and really looks top drawer. The engine is a standard Rover Cooper 1275cc with a custom made exhaust. Suspension is courtesy of Spax dampers and Hi-To adjusters and the car sits on the wheels are 6x12” Revolution RFX rims shod with Yokohama tyres. The interior is standard Rover Mini Cooper.

The head was skimmed and the head gasket replaced in November 2016, following a period of no use. The level of craftsmanship really is quite special, and we invite you to come and see and read for yourself. We’re not the only ones who think so, as this car was awarded “Best Car In Show” and “Best Paint Job” at the Mini Magazine meet in 1998.

Introduced in May 1961, the Jaguar E-type 3.8 Fixedhead Coupé was a sensation with fabulous looks and amazing performance, unrivalled at the price. Often heralded as the most beautiful car of all time, Jaguar, not surprisingly, made no significant changes until the introduction of the 4.2 engine in October 1964. The example offered today is a 1964 right-hand drive, 3.8 Fixedhead Coupé that has been dry-stored for many years. The supporting Jaguar Heritage Certificate states that this car was dispatched from Browns Lane on the 16th June ‘64 to the supplying dealer, Sanderson & Holmes of Derby, with the registration CCH 47B. The original colour was Opalescent Dark Green with a Beige interior, but the car is currently finished in a very dark blue/black colour. The subject of an older re-paint in 1989, this E-type has been with the current owner’s family for many years, and lists only four former keepers. It was taken off the road approximately 10 years ago, due to its owner’s ill health, and has remained in a dry barn ever since. Buyers should note that the engine number stated on the Heritage Certificate and V5C (RA7067-9) does not match the number on the engine block (R3319-9), and the DVLA will need to be contacted by the new owner to update their records. Prior to the auction, this E-type will be sent to respected engineer Mark Derby of RS 911 for recommissioning work. The car does run and prospective buyers should contact the office for further details or to arrange a pre-sale inspection. Offered with a most realistic estimate, this E-type would make a fantastic candidate for restoration or could continue to be used after further re- commissioning.
