How cute is this car? This delightful right-hand-drive 1970 Fiat 500L is finished in mid-blue with a dark tan interior and is fitted with a four speed manual gearbox, sunroof, chrome luggage rack plus front and rear chrome bumper bars.
This lovely 500 was restored a few years ago and is in immaculate order throughout. The engine has recently received a top-end overhaul and the gearbox has been replaced. The interior trim is unmarked, showing no wear and tear and the sunroof is like new.
The bodywork has beautiful paintwork and shows no rust problems whatsoever. The underside is also clean and corrosion free. A beautiful example of the iconic Fiat 500 and ready to enjoy at £7495!
This stunning original 1997 TVR Chimaera 4.0 litre is finished in Silver with full dark red leather interior, power steering, optional alloy dashboard, immobiliser, CD player and Chimaera 500 wheels.
This superb original TVR has only covered only 24,000 miles and comes with a Full TVR service history since new. Having had three keepers in total the last owner kept the car for eight years and is a long term car enthusiast.
The immaculate bodywork appears original with only a couple of minor blemishes whilst the interior is pristine and does not suffer from the peeling trim and mouldy carpets of many on the market. The hood and targa panel are also immaculate and the car is currently on sale at £11750. This must be one of nicest, unmolested Chimaeras on the market!
The Alfa Romeo 8C Spider is a beautiful car, the type that makes you just gawp, stare and dribble for long periods. A troupe of naked dancers would not avert your eyes from this car’s glorious curves. It will be remembered as an all-time great from Alfa which is wherein lies the source of our angst.
OK Alfa have produced some pretty decent looking cars over the years and a few duds too – how about the 1980’s Arna based on a Nissan Cherry? The 8C however, is an iconic piece of automotive design and yet they decided to only produce 500 each of the Coupe and the Spider. They built over 50,000 of the dreadful Arna for goodness sake!
Presumably there is method in their madness while in the meantime every 8C owner can sit pretty smug knowing that there are only 499 other similar works of art out there for posterity. So how about the other numbers then?
Well for starters it has a 4.7 litre V8 lump sprinkled with Ferrari-dust that musters up a rampant 450 horses. This gets the 8C to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds and allows for a top speed of around 180 mph. So it’s fast then. But then it is the sort of car that looks like it’s going fast even when it is standing still. Nice.
We’ve recently had the chance to photograph a gorgeous Competizione Red 8C Spider which belongs to somebody who has now decided to sell his pride and joy. This stunning 2010 8C Spider which has covered less than 500 miles is featured on our website and can be viewed by clicking here.
This beautiful Jaguar S-Type is finished in dark green with lovely original suede green leather upholstery and new matching carpets. The car is fitted with the 3.8 litre six cylinder engine and comes with a manual overdrive gearbox, power steering, period radio and stainless steel exhaust system. The engine has recently had new timing chains fitted and the cylinder head has been converted for unleaded petrol. The engine bay itself is clean and detailed and the chromework in very good order.
This classic Jaguar is in very smart condition throughout and is a real pleasure to drive. The suspension was an absolute revelation when the car was launched in 1963 and the S Type set the ride benchmark for all other luxury vehicles in its day!
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.
