Finished in red with a black leather interior this stunning left hand drive Fiat Dino Coupe has had two owners in the UK since being imported from Italy in 1990. The last keeper acquired the car in 2006 and embarked on a thorough restoration costing over £30,000.

Medway Jaguar’s premium car specialist and The Ferrari Centre have carried out extensive works which is detailed in numerous invoices.

The engine was rebuilt by Mike Elliott some years ago and according to the file he fitted Stratos camshafts during the rebuild. It received a light overhaul a thousand miles ago as did the gearbox. The clutch was replaced in 2007. The electronic ignition unit was replaced and the wiring overhauled.

The carburettors have been rebuilt and the engine has been correctly set up. A new alloy petrol tank, stainless steel exhaust and an alloy radiator have been fitted. The suspension, brakes and steering have all been restored.

The bodywork has also received a complete bare metal respray.

This beautiful car has been mildly uprated during the restoration. The bumpers have been removed, and the car slightly lowered.

Black alloy wheels and a 308 performance brake kit from Superformance have been added along a complete re-trim in black leather with red piping. The headlining was re-trimmed in alcantara and red seat belts front and rear complete the picture.

A Thatcham Category 1 alarm with central locking is fitted along with a C.D. player. The car also has an iPod connection. A very special car which drives beautifully.

Sorry – this car is now SOLD!

Finished in Tartan red, black interior with overdrive, Kenwood C.D. player, Bluetooth and i-Pod facilities. This stunning MGB had a fully documented restoration in 1998 using a new Heritage body shell. It was purchased two years ago in very smart rust free condition but the paintwork had dulled and some fixtures and fittings had deteriorated.

Over the last two years it has been received a total bare metal respray to a pristine standard, a full interior renewal including new seats, carpets, tonneau, door panels and an expensive Motalita steering wheel. The windscreen, frame, quarter lights, hood and frame, tonneau and every piece of chrome work are all new. The boot has new carpet along with new jack, spanner and hood cover.

This year the rear suspension has been renewed and uprated shock absorbers and brakes fitted all round. Finally, new 15” Minilite wheels and tyres have just been fitted and have not yet covered one hundred miles. A small fortune has been spent to bring this MGB up to its current immaculate condition. For sale at £12995.

This beautiful Hawk AC Ace was built by Adam Cleden over an eighteen month period to an exacting standard and completed in 1998. It runs a 2.5 litre Triumph engine which was fully rebuilt and balanced in 2007 and is fitted with gas flowed, unleaded cylinder head with a Piper camshaft. Twin SU carburettors are used. It has a four speed gearbox with overdrive on third and fourth gears.

The second owner was an equerry to Prince Charles and he maintained the car meticulously which is detailed in the history file. It then passed to a retired investment banker two years ago who continued the care and attention.

It is fitted with full weather gear with a mohair hood, fitted sidescreens and a mohair full tonneau all in dark blue. A rare hard top is included which is painted silver. The interior is created in period with blue leather bucket seats, piped carpet and the correct trim design behind the seats. The instruments and switches are in period.

The car carries a period registration number, three letters, three numbers, and is registered as an historic vehicle and so is exempt from Road Fund Licence.

For customers wishing to import into a European country, the vehicle is registered with the U.K. authorities as being a 1968 motor car and so is over thirty years old. This Hawk Ace was featured in the August 2000 edition of Classic and Sportscar magazine. It is well known to the factory near Tunbridge Wells.

With genuine AC Aces now exceeding £200,000 and rising, an eighteen month waiting time from Hawk Cars and with the quality of the build allied to the provenance, this fine car must represent excellent value at £32995.
