1955 MG Magnette ZA – outstanding condition, only 3 owners … £15,995
This prize-winning Magnette has had only 3 owners from new and the recorded mileage appears genuine at only 70,000 miles. The 2nd owner purchased this car when it was only 8 years old and kept it for an amazing 61 years, during which time he restored it twice, first time in 1963/4, a full 10 month programme of works and the second refresher renovation in 1990/91. These have been a major contributor to its longevity. It benefited from a full bare-metal restoration and, in 1999, a complete, new leather interior by Aldridge Trimming. The owner took great pains to preserve the MG’s originality and only used it during the Summer months, as he had a 2nd car, hence the underside is authentic due to its sheltered life.

1955 Jaguar XK140 Roadster … Sold
Have you ever dreamt of owning a legendary, Le Mans conquering Jaguar XK Roadster, but didn’t fancy shelling out the £150 grand these iconic, rare cars normally command if in top condition?

At less than half that figure is our XK140 Roadster, of which only 73 genuine examples were ever built, however, this XK140 chassis originally carried a Fixed Head Coupe body but has been skilfully re-engineerd into an Open Two Seater Roadster, which is apparently similar to how the Jaguar factory actually produced the early XK120 DHC’s by cutting down FHC body shells. As you can tell from the accompanying pictures, it has been totally restored to the last nut and bolt with overall fit and finish quite outstanding. It is an original RHD Home Market car and reputedly covered only 40,000 miles from new with a mere ten ‘shake down’ miles since the rebuild.

Ex NEC Show Car!
Nice genuine, example showing low mileage with a great deal of originality, and remarkable, perhaps unique history.
