Auction ends 4th June.

With only approximately 1,983 built and the majority exported to Japan, the MG RV8 is now a rare sight on UK roads.

Introduced in 1992, the MG RV8 marked a bold and nostalgic return for MG, reviving the spirit of the classic MGB Roadster with a more refined and muscular character. At a time when lightweight British sports cars were becoming increasingly modernised, the RV8 looked proudly to the past, blending traditional roadster styling with handcrafted luxury and unmistakable V8 performance.

Built largely by hand at Rover’s Cowley plant, the RV8 featured beautifully finished wood veneers, supple Connolly leather, and a burbling 3.9-litre Rover V8 under the bonnet, giving the car effortless performance and a soundtrack to match. While unmistakably rooted in the shape of the original MGB, wider bodywork, revised suspension and modern running gear transformed the driving experience into something far more relaxed and capable for long-distance touring.

Produced in limited numbers, with the vast majority exported to Japan, the MG RV8 has become a rare sight on British roads today. Offering a unique combination of old-school charm, V8 character and 1990s British craftsmanship, it remains one of the most distinctive and charismatic MG of the modern era.

This particular car has been with our vendor for just over six years, having been reimported to the UK in 2007. It has had only three UK keepers since then and comes with a current MOT valid until 16/04/2027.

Auction ends 4th June.

The MG B remains one of Britain’s most recognisable and usable classic sports cars, offering simple mechanicals, timeless styling and a driving experience that still feels engaging nearly fifty years on.

This 1977 Roadster presents particularly well in its striking 'Orange Red' finish and benefits from long-term ownership, having been with its current keeper since 2011.

Having undergone restoration and a respray around a decade ago, the car still presents strongly today, retaining a very honest and usable feel throughout.

With its manual gearbox and classic open-top layout, this MG B captures exactly what makes these cars so appealing, uncomplicated, analogue motoring with genuine character.

Auction ends 4th June.

Timeless open-top grand touring performance, blending classic Mercedes elegance with relaxed V8 cruising and effortless everyday charm.

Introduced as part of Mercedes’ move to meet changing market demands, the 380 SL paired classic styling and solid German engineering with a smooth V8 engine, delivering relaxed yet capable performance. It quickly became a symbol of understated luxury where it was admired for its build quality, safety, and timeless design.

With its long bonnet, clean lines, and beautifully proportioned soft top, the 380 SL embodies the essence of 1980s Mercedes design philosophy - elegant, robust, and built to last. This example features a Pioneer cassette player, new tyres fitted in 2022, both its soft and hard top, with stand included, electric windows and servicing in May 2025 - all complete with 2 sets of keys.

Today, it remains a highly regarded modern classic, celebrated for its durability, comfort, and effortless cruising character. Well suited for both those in the market for a piece of motoring history, and something a little more "retro-cool" - the 380 SL is a car suited to warmer months ahead, and many more miles of classic touring ahead.

Well presented with almost 4 years of ownership under its belt and low recent mileage, the distinguished open-top grand tourer represented one of the most enduring and successful chapters in Mercedes-Benz history. Part of the iconic R107 range, produced from the early 1970s through to the late 1980s, it evolved from the earlier SL models into a more refined, comfort-focused roadster designed for effortless long-distance cruising.

Click here for hundreds more photos and videos of this car, and to bid: 1948 MG TC

Auction ends 4th June.

he MG TC - absolute post-war motoring royalty, and here's arguably one of the best examples on the market today.

The 1947 MG TC is more than just a vintage vehicle; it is the definitive post-war icon that resurrected the spirit of open-top motoring. Following the austerity of the Second World War, the TC arrived as a beacon of mechanical joy. While it borrowed heavily from the pre-war TB design, including the narrow body and leaf-sprung suspension, its timing was perfect. It offered a weary public a return to "motoring for the fun of it," a concept that had been sidelined during the years of conflict.

The first postwar model, released in 1945 by MG, followed on from its predecessor, the popular MG TB. The chassis remained the same as the TB, but the body was extended by 4 inches to give the cockpit more space. Just over 10,000 MG TCs were produced during the five-year production run.

This 1948 example was imported to the UK from California in 2022. As you’ll know, cars from a dry, sunny climate are often found in far better condition – even when they arrive in several boxes. A close look at this car shows just how well it has survived, and if you’re in the market for a car that's recently had a lot of time and money spent on it, then this could be the one. It comes with a fresh MOT valid until 14.05.2027.

Click here for hundreds more photos and videos of this car, and to bid: 1987 BMW 635 CSi (E24)

Auction ends 4th June.

The BMW 635 CSi is a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and sophistication.

Created to effortlessly cruise the Autobahns, the BMW 6-Series was perched at the top of the BMW pecking order, carrying over the lineage of the stylish E9 Coupé. Recognisable by its Paul Bracq-penned ’ Shark's nose’ styling, the 6 Series's power, comfort, ergonomics, and interior space placed the car as one of the 1970s’ best grand tourers. The range was overhauled in 1982 to include new suspension, interior design, revised engines and subtle exterior upgrades, to become a symbol of the new upwardly mobile scene.

The 635 CSi produced 215bhp from its M30 3.4-litre six-cylinder engine, and maintained BMW's reputation for driving dynamics and handling balance: its smart, muscular lines also gave the car an impressive road presence. Tremendously advanced for its time, the innovative digital trip computer forms part of the wrap-around centre console: still a design feature in modern BMWs.

We are delighted to present you with this 1987 automatic BMW 635 CSi, finished in 'Zinnober Red' with black leather seats and a factory sunroof, coming from ~23 years with our vendor. It has had just 4 owners and has 22 service stamps since new. It has only covered around 800 miles since a body restoration in 2017. It is sold with two keys, its owner's & service booklet, and a fresh MOT valid until September 2026. The car will be road tax and MOT exempt in two years' time.

Auction ends 4th June.

This MG B GT V8 has been tucked away in a garage for a number of decades and is now emerging as a genuinely interesting barn find. It’s a car that clearly needs re-commissioning, but crucially, it appears complete and ready for restoration.

It’s been in the garage for over 30 years and is now looking for a new home. This is a nice candidate for a heavy re-commissioning to make a driveable classic V8, or for a full restoration into a mint, low-owners car.

The car combines V8 power with complete interior and a solid-looking shell - see mechanical photographs. It’s been stored in the dark and dry for over 30 years.

The history is presented with the car with a few added extras (including vintage ‘MG Club’ stickers)

Click here for hundreds more photos and videos of this car, and to bid: 2001 Jaguar XKR Convertible

Auction ends 4th June.

A powerful, supercharged grand tourer blending luxurious comfort with effortless cruising.

Launched in 1996 to critical acclaim, the X100 generation Jaguar XK series marked a triumphant return to form for the Coventry marque, successfully channelling the spirit of the legendary E-Type. However, it was the introduction of the supercharged XKR in 1998 that truly solidified the model’s legendary status.

Powered by a forced-induction version of Jaguar’s highly regarded AJ-V8 engine, the XKR transformed a remarkably elegant grand tourer into a devastatingly fast muscle car in a velvet suit. Recognisable by its subtle bonnet louvres, mesh grille, and discrete badging, the X100 XKR offered an addictive blend of effortless British luxury and sports car-slaying performance. Today, it stands as a highly coveted modern classic, representing the absolute pinnacle of Ford-era Jaguar design and engineering.

Coming from over 6.5 years with our vendor, this well-kept 2001 XKR finished in 'Anthracite Metallic Black' with an 'Ivory' leather interior, has just ~68,717 miles and comes with an impressive 14 service stamps. Over £11,000 worth has been spent on the car since 2021, and it comes with its full owners' wallet with booklets and two keys. It was last serviced around 3,000 miles ago and the owner has just added a year's MOT.

1975 Porsche 911 3.0 Turbo (930). At a Glance:

1975 First Year of Turbo | 1 of 284 | ~29 Year Ownership | Excellent Condition | Large History File with +£60k in Invoices | Return to Market Opportunity

Now available for only £154,950

For Porsche enthusiasts, a first-year Porsche 911 Turbo (930) marks the beginning of the Turbo era - one of the most significant models in the marque’s history.

The Porsche 911 Turbo (930) didn’t just raise the bar - it completely rewrote the rulebook for performance cars. As Porsche’s first production turbocharged 911, it marked a turning point not only for the brand but for the entire automotive world, bringing race-derived turbo technology from endurance racing straight to the road.

At its heart lies a 3.0-litre flat-six, force-fed by a single turbocharger that delivers power in a way few cars before - or since - have managed. Below boost, it feels composed and deliberate; but as the turbo spools, it unleashes a sudden, thrilling surge that transforms the car’s character in an instant. It’s this raw, almost explosive delivery that gave the 930 its reputation - demanding respect, rewarding skill, and offering an intensity that modern cars simply can’t replicate.

Last year this first-year-of-production Porsche 911 Turbo (930) suffered an uncompleted sale process with another auction company, so is now once again available to the market. It presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most significant 911s out there.

As you all know, this is a remarkable car, well equipped from factory with full chrome trim, dual sports seats, Fuchs rims, chrome driver’s door mirror, and the electric sunroof; all of which add to the quality and rarity of this 930.

Coming from three decades of careful ownership, and benefitting from a previous restoration & engine rebuild works, this 930 Turbo is something really quite brilliant.

1973 Jaguar E-Type S3 Convertible

Now available for only £63,450 all in,

Only 2 Previous Keepers | 22.5-Year Ownership | Over ~£42K of Invoices

The ultimate V12 grand tourer, blending iconic style with refinement.

The Jaguar E-Type Series 3 represents the final, most refined evolution of a motoring icon. Transitioning from a raw sports car to a sophisticated grand tourer, the Series 3 introduced the legendary 5.3-litre V12 engine, delivering turbine-smooth power and effortless high-speed cruising. With its flared wheel arches, wider stance, and signature cross-slatted grille, it remains a towering symbol of British automotive prestige and elegance.

The Series 3 successfully countered the diminishing power of earlier models by introducing a formidable V12 powerplant. Built on a lengthened chassis with a revised suspension, vented disc brakes, and power-assisted steering, this evolution delivered vastly improved roadholding and a more composed ride. Inside, the cabin benefited from plusher furnishings and increased space, cementing its status as a superior cruiser. While maintaining its legendary styling, this final iteration of the E-Type offered significantly greater reliability and a level of mechanical refinement previously unseen in the model.

Finished in red with a black interior and a manual gearbox, this home market 1973 Series 3 Roadster has been cherished by just three owners from new. Held by its current owner for just shy of 22.5 years, the car has benefited from an investment exceeding £40,000 during their tenure.

Smartly presented E-Type is backed by an exemplary maintenance history, plus it is accompanied by its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, original owner’s handbook, two sets of keys and was last serviced in December 2024.

While technically MOT and road tax exempt, it carries the added reassurance of a current MOT valid until December 2026.

1991 Porsche 944 SE (S2)

~6 Year Ownership | Rare SE Example | 20 Service Stamps

Only £13,950 all in!

Sharp, balanced, and built to thrill - the Porsche 944 S2 is where precision meets passion.

The Porsche 944 S2 stands as one of the finest evolutions of Porsche’s front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car lineage. Positioned near the end of the 944’s production run, the S2 combined the balanced chassis that made the model famous with a significant boost in performance and refinement, making it one of the most complete transaxle Porsches ever built.

At its heart is a 3.0-litre inline-four engine, the largest four-cylinder production engine of its time, producing ~208 BHP. This gave the 944 S2 strong, smooth power delivery, paired with excellent handling thanks to its near-perfect weight distribution. Unlike the turbocharged variants, the S2 delivers its performance in a more linear and predictable way, appealing to drivers who value precision and control over outright boost.

Visually, the S2 borrowed styling cues from the more aggressive Turbo model, including a rounded nose and integrated rear spoiler, giving it a more modern and purposeful look. Inside, it offered a driver-focused cockpit with improved comfort and build quality, reflecting Porsche’s growing emphasis on usability alongside performance.

Today, the Porsche 944 S2 is widely appreciated as a sweet spot in the 944 range - offering classic analogue driving feel, solid reliability, and understated styling. It represents a period when Porsche was refining its engineering philosophy, creating cars that were as enjoyable to drive daily as they were on a twisty road.

Coming from just over 6 years with our vendor, this example is the SE model, only available in the UK market. Features include an immobiliser system, sports seats and steering wheel, auto heating controls, Blaupunkt amplifier and optioned sunroof. The Porsche is finished with 2 sets of keys, 20 stamps in its Porsche service booklet, a valid MOT until 2nd June 2026 and new front discs and pads fitted in June 2025.

1960 Daimler Dart SP250 - Full Restoration in 2020 | Excellent Presentation | UK Car + Heritage Cert.

Only £22,995 - for a fully restored Dart this is a real bargain!

The Daimler Dart SP250 offers individuality and exclusivity, with a V8 heart and supreme comfort.

Designed for an era when export success was paramount, the Daimler SP250 carved out a unique niche by blending exceptional engineering with a sophisticated sense of style. This finned, fibreglass-bodied V8 roadster was purpose-built to conquer the vast, sun-drenched highways and boulevards of the American market.

With its dramatic, sweeping lines and impressive power, the car offered a level of build quality and performance way above the more conventional British roadsters. This combination provided Daimler with a bold, sporting identity that was entirely new to the brand.

Debuted in 1959, the SP250 remains a rare find, with only ~2,656 units ever produced. Its silky-smooth 2.5-litre V8 is the heart of the car, famous not just for its brisk acceleration and impressive top speed, but for a glorious exhaust note that complements its surprisingly comfortable ride and ample cabin and luggage space.

While famously utilised by British police as a high-speed motorway pursuit vehicle, the Daimler was often overshadowed in its day by the Jaguar E-Type. Today, however, it stands as a fascinating and characterful alternative that is both thrilling to drive and practical to own, supported by excellent parts availability and a dedicated owners club.

This 1960 home-market example, striking in red over a black interior, underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2020. Meticulously maintained and presented to a high standard, the car is accompanied by an extensive history file featuring over £12,000 in invoices dating back to 2015.

Coming to market after 4.5 years with our vendor, the sale includes two boxes of spare parts, and several upgrades. Ready for the road, it was last serviced just 100 miles ago and comes complete with its Heritage Certificate, original sales brochure, owners manual, service manual, and a spare parts catalogue. A hardtop is available as an option to the buyer if they want it, Mark told us it is not refurbished, as a shell, with no fixings, seals, or rear window.

Just ~7,420 of the 150mph V12 models were built and, with the brand’s marked improvements in build quality and engineering, it quickly became a beloved classic.

This lovely 1991 Jaguar XJS is offered in the stunning Regency Red Metallic, with an equally beautiful Magnolia leather interior - it's ready to be enjoyed this summer!

Possibly The Earliest Surviving P5B Coupe | Low Mileage | Just 4 Previous Keepers | Several Useful Upgrades | Solid and Smart Presentation In Need Of Light Cosmetics | Well Maintained | Home Market Car

Now only £18,450

Majestic, smooth, and powerful, the Rover P5B is considered the last of the true Rovers.

The Rover P5B was a natural fit for state duties, striking a perfect balance between dignity and approachability. As the first Rover to feature David Bache’s unitary bodywork, it paired a sleek, elegant silhouette with a traditionally luxurious cabin.

By the mid-1960s, the P5 had carved out a unique space for itself: it offered high-society respectability without the overbearing arrogance of more 'bespoke' British rivals. However, the true turning point came with the introduction of the Buick-derived 3.5-litre V8. This lightweight aluminium engine transformed the P5 from a sedate saloon into a formidable continental cruiser.

Because the V8 was actually lighter than the outgoing straight-six, it delivered a significant boost in power without the typical penalty at the fuel pump.

A favourite amongst high-ranking ministers, royalty, and those who appreciated robust engineering, the P5B was offered in two body styles - including the rare and distinctive four-door coupé. However, the V8's reliability and excellent parts availability, on top of an active owners' club, means that the P5B doesn't need a minister's salary to maintain.

First registered in November 1967, this P5B Coupé is finished in 'Zircon Blue' over a beige leather interior. It comes to market after almost three years with our vendor and has a remarkably low ~46,458 miles - believed to be original. Remarkably, the car has had only four owners from new. Its provenance is backed by over £12,000 in invoices, a recent service, and an MOT valid until June 2026.

Whilst the car is mechanically solid and well-maintained, it does require some light cosmetic attention to bring it to its full potential. Most notably, this example is believed to be the seventh P5B Coupé to leave the production line, earning it the distinction of being the oldest surviving Coupé on the road today.

The sale includes its Heritage Certificate, two car covers, the original owner’s booklets, and two keys.

The Lotus Elan +2S 130/5 represents one of the finest evolutions of Colin Chapman’s lightweight philosophy, a beautifully balanced grand tourer.

Now only £24,750!

As the final and most desirable iteration of the +2 range, the 130/5 introduced the five-speed gearbox, improved refinement, and the legendary Big-Valve twin-cam engine, making it the ultimate specification for enthusiasts, offering elegance, performance, and genuine everyday usability.

With its sweeping body lines, low-slung stance, and unmistakable Lotus engineering, the +2S 130/5 has become increasingly sought after as collectors recognise just how special these cars are. Lighter than its contemporaries and powered by one of Britain’s most charismatic engines, it delivers a uniquely involving driving experience. One that blends delicacy, agility, and genuine pace.

Coming to market from ~5.5 years with our vendor, a classic car enthusiast who has cherished the car during his custodianship, this example presents beautifully throughout. Finished in a striking blue over cream interior with polished wood fascia, it shows exactly why the +2S 130/5 has earned its place as one of Lotus’s most collectible grand tourers. We believe the car was built in 1973 but was registered later in 1974, but we cannot confirm this.
