1997 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta F1
Finished in Rosso Corsa with Tan hide and red carpets, having covered only 32,000 miles from new with 4 previous owners, 6 speed F1 gearbox, rear challenge grille, all books, keys and tools. Full service history carried out by main dealers and well respected Ferrari specialists having just had FULL cambelt service in March 2010.
All tyres are good and the condition of this car really is totally exceptional throughout. At the risk of using this phrase too much (!) I have not seen a better condition 355. Stunning car that will certainly appreciate over time. Part exchange welcome.
1965 Ex-Works Ford Lotus Cortina KPU 386C
Walter Hayes was the Ford man behind AVO ( Ford's Advanced Vehicle Operations) and the inspiration behind the development of the Cortina with Colin Chapman's Lotus Cars.
During this early AVO period a batch of "Works Cars" were built by the Ford Competition Department at Boreham with works series registration numbers KPU 380C through to KPU 397C.
This car, KPU 386C, is fitted with totally original interior, plus correct "works spec" which includes:
aluminium bonnet, boot and door panels
original short-ratio gearbox with alloy tail shaft and remote shift
aluminium bell housing and differential
long range twin fuel tanks
5.5inch steel wheels
fully rebuilt engine with BRM cam covers.
The car was sent fom Boreham direct to the famous Alan Mann Racing team in 1965 helping with the development of their race effort.
There is a photo in the comprehensive history file of KPU 386C from Autosport magazine (dated 18th November 1966) which shows none other than Lotus world champion, Jim Clark, testing the car at Bagshot for the forthcoming 1966 RAC Rally.
There is also a black and white picture of Jim Clark and a very young future rally champion- Roger Clark -standing next to the car in period at Bagshot.
The history file then tells us that it next went on to become a Ford experimental car in 1967 used for the purpose of developing an automatic Lotus Cortina, under Ted Davis - the chief engineer at Borg Warner.
There is evidence of this unique period, even today, where signs of modification to the centre consul have been made by the factory.
This car is a very significant and important part of Ford competition history offered at a totally realistic price today. The car is on the button ready to go, either as an enjoyable road car or an ideal car to take on long distance tours/rallies and drives superbly................

2000 (W) Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph
Finished in Amethyst Blue with Barley Leather, Upper Top Roll in Peacock blue and lower top roll in Barley. Dark blue lambswool rugs with Barley fine coach lines. This fine 5.4 litre V12 saloon, complete with sat-nav, park distance control, cellular telephone, picnic tables and 6 CD Autochanger was the first Rolls model made under BMW ownership which raised their game to new levels of technology and sophistication.
Perhaps uniquely today, this one private owner car from new has only covered 9,500 miles from new and had a main dealer service annually and on time. It's condition totally reflects the care that has been bestowed upon it from a local owner, whose family is known to me personally.
I am extremely confident that you will not find a nicer or better condition car than this one. It drives superbly and looks sublime in a stunning colour combination. Please come and view for yourself.

1958 Porsche 356A Carrera GS/GT Coupe
This 1958 model year car was first delivered on 13/01/1958 as a Carrera 1500cc GS finished in Silver with an 80 litre fuel tank (with a central bonnet re-filler), leatherette 'Speedster' seat, lightweight 'Plexiglass' rear screen and a 'Spyder' rear view mirror. The lucky customer, an enthusiastic racing driver and professional jockey, was Mr Hans Harzheim of Koln, Germany, who raced the car successfully in his home country and is still alive today. He achieved notable results including the AvD Rheinland Pfalz Preis on 03/08/1958, a 5th place at the famous Nurburgring Nordschliefe in the GT 1600cc Class and a win on 05/10/1958 in the Eifelrennen Nurburgring, again in the GT 1600cc Class. In addition he also claimed some notable results in rallying with a win in the Avus Rallye, Berlin in 1958 and 1959 and a third place in the Rallye Lyon-Charbonniere finishing in 3rd place. During 1959 he also came 2nd in the Wolsfelder Hillclimb Rennen (German Hillclimb Championship)
The car and driver were also invited to compete in the Nurburgring ADAC 1000Kms Rennen (1 of 6 World Championship races) albeit by this time the car was back at Porsche receiving it's up-date. Furthermore, Hans Harzheim raced on 13/07/1960 in the Rheinland Pfalz Preis Nurburgring GT Class (finishing in 8th place) and at Trier on 19/09/1962 competing in the Porsche Carrera Formula Junior race (finishing in 4th place).
During this period of intense racing activity results were further improved by the car returning to the Porsche factory in 1958 to receive an upgrade of a 1600cc GT engine (115ps), lightweight alloy bonnet, alloy boot lid and alloy doors plus a change of colour to Red.
Following its successful period of racing in Germany the car was sold and exported to the USA, eventually returning to Europe in 1980 when it was discovered by the famous German industrialist, Hans Dieter Blatzheim.
In 1984, it had a complete restoration in Switzerland at a cost of over 74,000 Swiss Francs carried out by distinguished Porsche restorer, Armin Baumann, in preparation for its place in the famous Blatzheim collection in Bonn.
Hans Dieter Blatzheim was an enthusiastic and accomplished racing driver who had one of the largest and most significant collection of Porsche racing cars in the world. Tragically, he died at the age of 47 on 14/08/1985 in a Porsche 917 while testing for the Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nurburgring. This Porsche 356, along with the rest of his collection, was left to his two young sons on the condition that the cars could not be sold until both sons reached the age of 25 - hence the recent release of this car onto the market.
Therefore, this car has predominantly remained a static display in a private collection, covering no more than 1,500 kms during the last 25 years.
It has recently been sympathetically re-commissioned and has FIA papers and Technical Passport and is now completely eligible and welcome at all the world's most prestigious historic motorsport events, including Goodwood Revival, Tour Auto, Historic Le Mans and Mille Miglia, etc.
This concours condition car represents a unique and exciting opportunity into historic motorsport worldwide with an outstanding pedigree and provenance.
