Renault Clio Sport V6

Lot #122 (Sale Order 22 of 168)

Audi Quattro Coupé GT

Lot #130 (Sale Order 30 of 168)

AAudi’s headquarters are in Bavaria and has been a wholly owned (99.55%) subsidiary of Volkswagen AG since 1966 following a phased purchase of its predecessor, Auto Union, from its former owner, Daimler-Benz. Volkswagen relaunched the Audi brand in 1965 and the company’s slogan or tagline is Vorsprung durch Technik, meaning ‘Progress through Technology’. The Audi image at this time was a conservative one, and so, a proposal from chassis engineer Jörg Bensinger was accepted to develop the four-wheel drive technology in Volkswagen's military vehicle for an Audi performance car and rally racing car. The performance car, introduced in 1980, was named the ‘Audi Quattro’, a turbocharged coupé which was also the first German large-scale production vehicle to feature permanent all-wheel drive through a centre differential. Prominent wins in rallying proved the viability of all-wheel drive racecars and the Audi name became associated with advances in automotive technology. Originally registered on 19th May 1988, this Audi has only had three owners from new during its 29 years on British roads. The current vendor has owned her since June 2012 and has done little more than 3,000 miles in that time. However she has always been well maintained and kept in a dry warm garage. Showing no signs of corrosion, the fastidious vendor advises us the Quattro drives exceedingly well with no known faults. The five cylinder, 2226cc engine started immediately when requested and ran smoothly with no adverse rattles or noises; clearly this is a Quattro Coupé GT that has been very well cared for. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 3rd May 2018 (no advisories); this Audi is offered for sale without reserve. * Interested parties should note this is a two wheel drive vehicle and not Quattro as previously advertised

We are pleased to present this unique MGC Roadster that was first supplied to the MG main dealer in Southern California in 1968 The original specifications included automatic transmission wire wheels with the coachwork finished in British Racing Green The interesting life of this motor car really began in the early 1970s when a UK serviceman whilst serving in California purchased it from the main MG dealer He apparently used the MG for a couple of years and then returned it to the dealer asking for it to be converted to righthand drive as he was to be posted back to the UK and wished to take the car with him A local body shop was entrusted with the work the conversion included a North American steering column and switch gear Sebringstyle steel wheel arches manufactured on an English wheel and a later MGB dashboard that accommodates the MGC odometer and revolution countersThe engine was said to have been removed rebuilt and balanced sadly no documented evidence of this exists whilst an overdrive gearbox was also added After a year had passed the serviceman became uncontactable the suspicion being that he had a large bill to pay so returned to the UK without paying There the MGC sat for over 20 years until purchased by Bob Sauder of Grass Valley California in the early 1990s At this time it was finished in primer and had many features such as the wire wheels six branch manifold triple carburettors and a Downton twin pipe exhaust system It stayed there until Bob now in his 70’s decided that he would never get around to finishing the project and so sold it on to the current UK owner in February 2012 It was then that the serious work of recommissioning the MGC began and completed to the standard you see today In fact such is the condition of this drystate MG that there is no evidence of the car ever having been welded apart from the addition of the steel wheel arches or of it ever having been involved in an accident Further additions include telescopic shock absorbers all around renewed brake and clutch systems and a rebuilt overdrive gearbox whilst the well respected trimmers P J M Motors of Market Drayton Shropshire trimmed the leather interior It is now UK registered and comes with an MoT test certificate with no advisories valid until May 2018Today this unusual and unique MGC nicknamed ‘The Monster’ presents very well and we are informed drives just like an MGC should Love it or hate it you will not fail to notice it

Porsche 911/934 'Jagermeister' Tribute

Lot #167 (Sale Order 67 of 168)

The Porsche 911 is in many ways the quintessential sports car Upon its introduction the world of motoring was changed forever Still the 911 continues to help the world of motoring evolve more than 50 years on Perhaps the most important update to the 911 was the introduction of the 930 turbo which transformed the 911 from impressive in its own right into something far greater It was the fastest production car available to its home country of Germany and thankfully for fans of motorsport the folks at Porsche wanted to take their creation to the race track In race trim the 930 was primarily known as the 934 which retained most of the lines and features of the original roadgoing car Wider bumpers and more aggressive aerodynamics played important parts but underneath its essence was the same Introduced in 1976 alongside the substantially more aggressive 935 the turbo Porsches tackled the world of motorsport with incredible success The 934 did so perhaps most famously in this very livery In 1976 it was Max Moritz Racing that initially fielded a matching pair of Jagermeistersponsored 934s to a number of respectable podium finishes however it wasnt their success that brought about their fame but the iconic blazing Jagermeister orange livery From scale models to Scalextric Porsche claims few of their cars have seen more incarnations Its easy to see why with the classic lines of the 911 emblazoned with one of racings most vibrant and wellknown liveries This Porsche was imported into New Zealand by the local Porsche agent in 1980 as a new righthand drive 911SC In 1990 it was entered in the Nissan Mobil Street Race in Wellington in the hands of a local Porsche Club member It was then purchased and developed as a widebody rally Porsche by the wellknown Gilmour family in Dunedin with a 36 litre engine G50 gearbox adjustable suspension and a Quaife limited slip differential In this form it won its class in Targa NZ for an incredible six years running Current owner Andy Tyler shared a support team with the Gilmours in the 2002 Targa in his Porsche Club Sport and got to know them well In 2003 he acquired the car from them and further developed it for use on the track running it in both the New Zealand Porsche series and subsequently in the New Zealand Super GT series which it won outright in both 2004 and 2006 In the process the car twice won the prestigious Bruce McLaren trophy for GT racing The genes from the original seem to have fallen close to the tree By this stage it had a 38 litre engine close ratio gears 54mm high butterfly inlet manifolds JAE pistons and a MOTEC system it was developing 400bhp just 84 less than the firebreathing original and weighed a little over 900kg After some time in storage it was decided that it should return to its roots as a classic road car and a replica of the 1970’s Group 4 ‘Jagermeister’ 934 Porsches Cams were changed and power was reduced to make it more tractable on the road Both the original paint colour and the original 1970s ‘Jagermeister’ logos were researched and applied Still developing almost twice the power it had in 1980 this Porsche is both an exciting eye catching retro streetlegal righthand drive road car and an ideal track day car It has absolutely no rust whatsoever having never been exposed to salt on UK roads and in spite of a remarkable racing career has never been damaged A full photographic history of both the body restoration and its most recent engine rebuild is available It has travelled less than 100 miles since its restoration for the 2016 Porsche festival in New Zealand Recently imported into the UK duty has been paid and a new UK V5C document has been issued Well prepared and sporting one the most iconic of Porsche liveries this 934 reads well and drives even better

Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster

Lot #207 (Sale Order 107 of 168)

The Jaguar EType was ten years old and needed a new lease of life History repeated itself and it was a huge success when Jaguar debuted its robust V12 engine in a sports car instead of the saloon for which it was designed Despite its sportscar heritage Jaguar depended on saloon vehicles for its survival and had developed the twelvecylinder engine to power them with sufficient torque and refinement Larger and softer in nature with weight redistributed 5347 the Series III had lost the wilds of its youth but gained the long legged touring profile to which it was arguably better suited Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that all we expected to try was a new engine but what in fact we drove was a new car Not a yowling aggressive Ferrarilike machine with which perhaps most people associate a V12 engine but a very smooth quiet and refined grand touring sports carThis genuine UK righthand drive Jaguar EType was originally registered on 9th May 1973 and was used until 1992 when she was put into storage This one owner Jaguar has only covered a warranted 45888 miles from new and should not be too difficult to recommission We are aware the engine was fired up regularly and after removing the car from the barn where she was stored for 25 years MYH 628L was transferred to another storage facility After turning the engine by hand a few times and replacing the fuel together with the battery she fired up instantly Although in need of recommissioning the huge attraction of this Series III EType is the single ownership and low mileageAppearing to be pretty sound although requiring some paintwork this Jaguar would be transformed with a little time and investment Supplied with an original factory hardtop registration document and some invoices this barn find Jaguar justifies being returned to her former glory

1983 BMW 635CSi

Lot #230 (Sale Order 130 of 168)

Kaarmann manufactured the early 6-Series BMWs from launch in 1976 before BMW took production in-house. The most significant technological upgrade on the E24 range took place in 1982 whereafter all models were constructed upon the more advanced E28 chassis right through until production ceased in 1989. Supplied new by North Oxford Garages and first registered EWL 33Y on 1st March, 1983 to Pergamon Press, Headington Hill Hall, Oxfordshire, this righthand drive BMW 635CSi in white with electric seats in blue leather and electric sunroof was purchased for the personal use of Chairman Robert Maxwell and his wife, Elizabeth. The coupé resided at the listed building, the former politician and press baron's headquarters and home, which he leased from Oxford City Council for 32 years and famously described as being "the best council house in the country". In those heady days, the car was serviced by the Pergamon Press and BPCC workshop. After the demise of 'Captain Bob' in mysterious circumstances whilst cruising in the company yacht 'The Ghislaine', it emerged that his Mirror Group's debts vastly outweighed its assets and £440m was missing from the company's pension fund. As the Maxwells were married out of community of property however, the BMW was of no interest to those winding up the media empire. In any case, by this time, the car was residing at the family's chateaux in the French Department of the Lot et Garonne, where the car was re-registered in the maiden name of the widow, Dr Elizabeth Maynard, as 4148 SE47 on 16 August, 1994. The vehicle was then garaged in the dry barn attached to the property and only ventured out on mainly local journeys. In March, 1995, a BMW dealer service record showed a 50,450 mileage which had only risen to 60,804 when submitted for the bi-annual Contrôle Technique report in March, 1995. Purchased directly from Dr. Maynard by a French-based owner on 25 November, 2006, the car was re-commissioned by a BMW service point in Villeneuve with all fluids changed and suspension bushes, brake linings and silencer renewed. More recently, servicing and maintenance has been carried out by the new BMW main dealer in Agen.
