We are pleased to offer for sale, on behalf of a very good customer, this very attractively priced Ford Consul Cortina.  Prices of classic Fords have gone through the roof in recent years, so this particular car represents great value for money.  The car is very original, and quite rare these days, as it has its original column change gearbox, and bench front seat.  It has recently had a new distributor, clutch, master cylinder and slave cylinder, new battery, hoses and a few other bits and bobs besides.  The car starts first time and ticks over smoothly once warm, it drives very well indeed through its easy to use column change 4-speed gearbox.  There is bags of room for the whole family (and dog!) and sitting in the car is very comfortable and quiet.  The upholstery, including the original vinyl seats and headlining, is in very good order and the door cards have just been renewed.  The mechanics would appear to be all in good working order, and the bodywork is basically sound, but there is room for some improvement in this area, which would greatly enhance the value of the car.  The tyres are in good condition and the white wall rims fitted are removable if they aren’t your cup of tea, but they are, of course, a good period piece.   Mileage shows 62597, although we are unable to confirm if this is correct.  There is an MOT to August 2025, so ready for immediate use.  Comes with original Owner’s Handbook and Workshop Manual, classed as an historic vehicle, so no tax to pay. 
(Please note – the Office Assistant doesn’t usually take part in test drives, but it is our friend’s car, and she really fancied a spin…!)

We are very pleased to have been asked to sell this well-known Austin Seven race car, fondly known as Murtyl.  If you ‘google’ Chris Pearson Austin 7 Race Car, you will find a number of images of the car in action.  The car was built during 2014 -15 by Pigsty Racing, Austin Seven experts.  It was constructed around a short wheel-base model, with aluminium body by Yates, and race engine, built by Keith Dobson, to include pressure-fed crankshaft by Peter Pearson of Leyburn, SU carburettor, and electric water pump.  Apparently, the crankshaft is constructed of the same material as a Formula One car.  The car has a sports front axle, with twin shockers and runs on 15” wheels, currently fitted with Dunlop race tyres.  It has been raced for several years in France, with the 750 Motor Club in England, and at other prestigious events such as the AMOC Brands Hatch meeting in 2015, where it won the race, beating, in the rain, a mighty field of Bentleys, Lagondas, Astons etc and at an average speed of a tad under 60mph.  Many races were with Motor Racing Legends where it won its handicap on the full Brands Hatch Circuit.  Behind the seat, as you can see, is a partial list of dates and finish positions, which is pretty impressive for such a little car!  Furthermore, you will notice the names all over the car – these are, in the main, names of SOE agents, brave operatives who risked (and often gave) their lives behind enemy lines during the Second World War.  One of the names, Murtyl, is the name of a character featured in a series of novels by the car’s current owner.  Also comes with a bundle of paperwork. This is a serious car, for serious racing, so serious enquiries only, please (it’s not the sort of car you would want to take your mother out for tea in ..!!)

This is a lovely dark brown sheepskin flying jacket, ideal for vintage open-top motoring. Worn only two or three times (it was an unwanted gift), high quality, from Lakeland Leather, unisex size ‘small’ – probably equates to a ladies’ 10-12 or a gents’ ‘small’. The jacket is in very good condition, and is a real bargain – compare current prices on Lakeland Leather’s website.

An extremely nice example of the ever-popular MG TC, which has had a fortune spent on it in recent years – from 2018 to 2021, some £33,000 was spent on a very thorough and well-executed restoration of the car.  Work was carried out by Yorkshire Restorations to a very good standard, and included a full body and mechanical restoration.  The paintwork is superb and the underside of the car is in particularly good order, as is the engine bay.  The upholstery was also renovated and a brand new mohair hood and side screens, which all fit extremely well, were included.  The result is a car that not only looks ‘the bees’ knees’, but also drives just as it should with strong engine, quiet gearbox and back axle, and good brakes for a car of this age – it really is a pleasure to drive.  The car retains its original XPAG engine (fully rebuilt).  The matching tyres are hardly worn and the wire wheels are in good condition.  This example was originally sold by University Motors in August 1949, and there is an enamel badge on the dashboard to this effect.  All relevant invoices for the restoration work are included in the accompanying file, together with current V5C and instruction manual.

This is not just an ordinary MGB … it’s one of the last Limited Edition GTs made, and has been upgraded with Stage II Ivor Searle engine complete with HS6 1.75” carburettors, parabolic springs, Spax dampers to front and rear, electronic ignition, full stainless steel sports exhaust, and fitted with quality Avon tyres all round.  The result is a great driving car with bags of power and really good handling.  The bodywork is in good  condition as is the paintwork, with well-fitting panels and good structure.  According to the large file of paperwork, the car was extensively restored between 2006 and 2009, and at some stage, has obviously had a full, professional re-spray in its original Pewter Grey.  The interior, which now has leather sports seats, is in fine condition, including carpets, headlining, door cards and dashboard.  As you can see, it is fitted with a Moto Lita style steering wheel and the original LE-type road wheels have been retained.  Comes with current MOT, original handbook, workshop manual, a file of invoices, and V5C.  All ready to go!

This excellent example of the highly desirable factory V8 has been in the same ownership for the last 41 years, and during that time has been stripped down and meticulously restored and improved, resulting in a very fine motor car indeed.  The restoration began in 1995 and continued for a number of years.  The work included an extensive body rebuild, incorporating new three-piece sills, front wings, rear half wings, and all the other areas usually requiring attention.  The mechanics have been overhauled, the wheels replaced, stainless steel exhaust has been fitted, along with plumbed-in power steering, electronic ignition and uprated front discs and callipers.  As you can see from the photographs, the opalescent dark blue paintwork is in excellent condition.  The interior has been improved with walnut dash and centre console, and has been professionally upholstered including part-leather seats.  The headlining is like new and quality factory-type footwell mats have been fitted.  The underside is in excellent structural order and is very clean and tidy – nothing to do there.  The engine bay is nicely detailed.  The powerful V8 engine, which still has its original cast iron manifolds and pancake air filters, runs as sweet as a nut.  Driving the car is an exhilirating experience, with lots of power, smooth gearbox, overdrive and back axle, and very efficient brakes.  The five matching tyres are all pretty much like new.  Comes with V5C, Heritage Certificate, file of invoices and old MOT certificates, workshop manual and handbook.  MOT to August 2025.
