This is a really splendid example in superb condition throughout, resplendent in its Flame Red livery with black, part-leather interior.  The car has been the subject of an extensive restoration in recent years, including full body rebuild, complete repaint, new interior and new Webasto sunroof, and it has subsequently been meticulously maintained by the current owner.  All panels, including doors fit very well.  At the time of restoration, we understand that the speedometer was refurbished and the odometer reset at zero.  The car now shows just over 28,000 miles.  A later engine, which had covered only 13,000 miles was fitted complete with overdrive at the time of restoration.  The underside is in very good condition indeed, as is the boot/spare wheel compartment and the under bonnet area is nicely detailed.  The wheels have been professionally refurbished and as you can see, are fitted with chrome embellishers, all in first class order.  Four matching tyres, good battery, good exhaust, all serviced up and ready to go.  The car starts easily and drives very well, with nice gearbox, recent clutch, quiet back axle, smooth overdrive and plenty of power with good brakes and suspension, enhanced by SPAX shockers on the rear.  Good oil pressure and no overheating.  This must be one of the best available in this price range.  A very detailed history file comes with the car, including Heritage Certificate, old MOTs, workshop manual, and detailing work carried out, previous owners, old MOTs etc.   V5C and current MOT to October 2025.

We are very pleased to offer for sale this absolutely outstanding example of this highly desirable, high performance MG, resplendent in British Racing Green.  In fact, we would go on to say that this is probably one of the very best on the market, but at a very sensible price.  The car is UK-registered from new – not a Japanese import, and comes with an extremely well-documented and interesting history, showing only six owners from new (including the current owner) and only 31,000 miles on the clock, with plenty of paperwork to support this.  The original owner, as you can see from the paperwork photograph, was the well-known actor Robert Lindsay, who owned the car from new in 1993, for 11 years.  The next owner spent a fortune on the vehicle, detailing and improving the already fine condition.  The entire car was gone over, including any paint finish issues, any mechanical faults and the interior was replaced with a much higher quality leather (Stone Beige), which is still exceptionally good today.  The car is currently in fabulous condition throughout, including its black double duck hood.  The underside is just as you would like it to be, as is the engine bay.  The boot is properly carpeted.  The original wheels are, of course, good and fitted with matching Michelin tyres on all four corners.  These are very powerful cars which offer terrific performance from the 3.9 V8 engine – which produces approximately 190 bhp, 0-60 mph in around 6 seconds, and a top speed of 135 mph.  This car drives superbly with good handling, nice smooth gearbox, excellent brakes with ventilated front discs and nice big fat tyres!  There is a mountain of paperwork including a comprehensive file of servicing from new, MOT certificates, current MOT to 13^th June 2025, original factory RV8 brochure, and ‘Manufacturing Story’ which includes the ‘written celebrity customer endorsement’ from Robert Lindsay, handbook and other RV8 literature.

We are delighted to offer for sale this very interesting Morris Eight Tourer – an affordable car offering plenty of space for four people, and even a dog!  The car has a very interesting history, well documented by extensive paperwork, including invoices, lots of old MOT certificates, buff-coloured log book, and details of its restoration back in the 1970s.  The current owner has even put together a list of previous owners, all the way back to 1943.  There is also an original handbook, together with a Morris Register manual.  Originally, the car began life as a saloon, and was rescued from a field by the restorer of the car in 1970 – we have the bill of sale from this transaction – the princely sum of £9 changed hands.  The bodywork at this stage, was so bad that a comprehensive rebuild was undertaken, and the car was converted to a tourer, using all original parts.  The engine is one of the Series I engines used by the military – these were surplus to requirements once the Centurion tanks were discontinued.  It has been very well maintained  over the years, and is in pretty good fettle, finished in Primrose Yellow with dark blue wings and blue Rexine interior.  The underside is structurally good and tidy, the paintwork is generally satisfactory, but has some age-related blemishes – all adds to the charming patina.  Good weather gear including hood, matching side screens and hood cover.  The car starts easily and drives well, with a nice gearbox – no clunks!!  It has covered only 15,500 miles from 1981, has been featured in three BBC documentaries and has worked 75 weddings!!  A terrific old car with a very interesting history – one to cherish and enjoy.

A really beautiful, home-market example built in December 1965 and first registered in May 1966.  Finished in dark British Racing Green with contrasting leather interior, with chrome wire wheels and black, quality double-duck hood.  This car has had a fortune spent it over the years, including an extensive body restoration and repaint in 2013, a complete new interior in 2023 and most recently (May 2024), a reconditioned 3-synchro gearbox complete with overdrive was fitted.  We understand that a reconditioned Ivor Searle 5-bearing engine was fitted approximately 11,000 miles ago.  A  few minor modifications have been made along the way, to include the fitting of electric ignition, rear Spax shock absorbers, and a Kenlowe cooling fan.  Recently the front shock absorbers and kingpins were replaced.  The underside of the car is excellent, the engine bay is nicely detailed and the corrosion-free boot is carpeted.  Low mileage matching tyres are fitted to very good condition chrome wire wheels.  This is not only a great looking car with no bodywork issues, it is also a great driver, with nice smooth engine, gearbox, banjo type axle, and the benefit of overdrive.  Very good performance and handling – an absolute pleasure to drive.  Comes with a good file of old invoices, old MOT certificates, Heritage Certificate, workshop manual, current V5C, and MOT to August 2025.

This is a delightful little motor car for not a lot of money – an excellent entry-level car into the classic car world.  The car has been restored in recent years and is generally in very good condition now – restoration work included new upholstery, canvas hood, hood cover and side screens, new floors and, we think from the way the car drives, restoration of the engine, 4-speed gearbox and clutch.  The underside is as clean as a whistle.  The suspension is again, all clean and tidy and well-greased.  The car has quite obviously been well cared for and is looking to acquire a new, enthusiastic owner.  It starts easily and runs very well with nice clutch and good (for an Austin Seven!!) brakes.  Comes with V5C and old buff continuation log book from 1957, which confirms that the registration number is more than likely the original.

A very, very good example in splendid condition, having been extensively restored in 2015, including a brand new Heritage body shell. Resplendent in Midnight Blue with lovely contrasting leather interior, together with walnut dashboard and door cappings, and Moto-Lita steering wheel. The bespoke weather gear is quality dark blue double duck, and fits perfectly, as does the matching full tonneau cover. The car stands on chrome wire wheels with good matching tyres. The under-bonnet area is excellent and the boot is well carpeted with spare wire wheel. Being a Heritage body shell, only a few years old, there are no corrosion problems and the panels fit well – no need to slam the doors. All the work was professionally carried out by CCHL of Hull, the well-respected MG restoration company. The mechanics are all in excellent condition, with very quick engine, good, smooth gearbox and back axle, and overdrive. The underside of the car is obviously in good condition. The suspension has been uprated to telescopic dampers all round, and the braking system has been improved, with vented front discs. The result of all this work is a very well maintained car, which drives superbly, offering great performance and excellent braking. Paperwork file includes MOT certificate to June 2025, invoice for service in June 2024, engineer’s report after the car had been restored and workshop manual.
