Today, the TF is the most desirable of the entire series, with one wheel firmly in the classic camp, yet with a fresh stance and a new 1,466 ci engine. This lovely 2-tone example features a Burgundy body with Pewter fenders, and has all the most desirable British Leyland features, including supple red leather interior, the original wood steering wheel, wind wings, a perfect top and side curtains, and a rear mounted spare with luggage rack. It’s highly original and meticulously restored, with chrome wire wheels, a clean top with matching boot, tools and documents, and a clean and correct 4-cylinder engine under the bonnet. Take advantage of the chance to own one of the best driving MG’s of the entire decade by bidding on this incredible MG TF. Mileage: 4,612 mi since restoration VIN: B5805 Page 5 RAND Luxury Auction 2019 1969 Chevrolet Copo Camaro LOT NUMBER Estimate: $140,000 - $180,000 102 º Copo Camaro original 427/425HP º Featured on Dream Car Garage º 1 of 60 imported to Canada, Fully Documented º 1st Place, Greenwich Concours & 1st Place, Lime Rock Park º Original M22 & Deluxe Exterior Package Today, five decades later, GM’s vaunted COPO (Central Office Production Order) Camaro program, once shrouded in mystery, is now celebrated by many collectors as creating some of the most significant muscle cars ever built. One of just 60 cars exported to Canada in 1969, this wonderfully restored example has earned its respect with First Place finishes at Concours events like Greenwich, as well as First Place finishes on the track at Lime Rock Park. This highly accurate Daytona Yellow Camaro was delivered with the Deluxe Exterior Package and the COPO #9561 Package, which included the 427 ci/425 HP V-8 engine, a high-rise intake, a 780 cfm carburetor, and at least 425 HP delivered through a 4-speed manual gearbox and 4:10 gears. The paint finish is wonderful, the chrome all new, and the black vinyl bucket seat interior looks brand new, but the most exciting view of this car occurs when you pop the hood, and check out the flawless restoration of this huge V-8. Once featured on Dream Car Garage, this fine 427/425 HP COPO Camaro has earned the ultimate respect at the top venues around the country.

Enzo Ferrari famously declared the E-Type “The most beautiful car ever made”. The E-Type has lost none of its cachet since the fixed head coupe was introduced on March 16, 1961, Geneva Motor Show, causing an even greater sensation than the XK 120 had thirteen years earlier. The E-Type was at the center of the cultural revolution in England that marked the transition from the conservative fifties to the swinging sixties. The 4.2 Liter Series II is the most desirable of all E-Types because it is the most drivable and reliable of them all. It has significantly more torque than the 3.8; a vastly improved fully synchronized four-speed gearbox; better cooling from dual electric fans, larger radiator, and a larger air intake; and better braking due to a much-improved servo. This motorcar has been in a private collection since November of 2013. The odometer shows 72,400 miles. A comprehensive restoration was completed by the previous owner at 67,000 miles that is supported by receipts & contemporaneous notes. The restoration is first class and based on its Jaguar Trust Certificate, the body, engine and gearbox numbers match; and the color (Sable) and interior (Cinnamon) are original. The Invoices, notes and Jaguar Trust Certificate are included. This E-Type drives like a modern car and is both powerful & comfortable, fun to drive and absolutely a work of art in motion. Mileage: 74,406 mi VIN: 1R27770 Page 7 RAND Luxury Auction 2019 1949 MG TC LOT NUMBER Estimate: $35,000 - $45,000 104 º RAND Luxury is pleased to announce that º Ground Up Restoration by University it will present cars from The Hine Collection Motors of Grand Rapids MI, one of the most respected MG specialists º Chassis number is TC9789 making it one of the last of 10,251 built. º Odometer shows just 10,582 miles since the restoration & engine re-build º Won First Place in the Antique Car Restorers Club Show This MG TC was built in September 1949. Its chassis number is TC9789 making it one of the last of 10,251 built.

Much of the work, including the engine re-build, was done by University Motors of Grand Rapids MI, one of the largest and most respected MG specialists in the country; documentation is included.

The rarely used side curtains have been restored and are in excellent condition. There is a minor blemish on the cover caused by incorrect folding. The original instruments are in working order and surrounded by a refinished wood dashboard. The Turn signals have been fitted to the original side/brake light fixtures with a control on the dash. The car is currently fitted with a 14” Moto-Lita aluminium/wood rim steering wheel which is comfortable for tall drivers. The original 17” wheel is in excellent condition and is included in the sale. The chrome is in excellent shape. The floor carpets are fresh with the MG octagon logo embroidered on each.
