A1952 Chevrolet Styline Deluxe at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show last month froze me to the spot. As you’d expect with the show theme, there were plenty of part-started or part-completed projects among the perfectly finished shiny metal, but the Barn Finds display held a special magic – and this car cast a particularly strong spell. Given the crumbling state of the seats, you might have expected it to cast an equally strong smell too, but instead it intoxicated with that delicious blend of stale petrol and musty carpets that immediately sends your brain rushing off on a journey back through time. Well, it does mine anyway. That trip took me through endless possibilities as I tried to imagine what twists of history led to this current…

‘Exactly what a standard-steel Bentley ought to be’

John Waine cracks a grin as we motor past the 1958 Bentley S-Series parked on Tenterden High Street. ‘Oh, there it is!’ he says. Imposing even among the Kent town’s neo-classical mansions, and almost as large, the grey-over-silver saloon harks back to the era when John’s love of cars began. ‘I’ve been keen on the S-Series and its Rolls-Royce contemporary, the Silver Cloud, ever since the age of 12. I always promised myself I’d have one, if they fell within my financial reach! It’s a matter of some regret that they never have.’ His feelings may be about to get much stronger. Today he’ll drive this magnificent motor. Not before he’s parked his own example of Crewe-built luxury, mind. Flecked with road grime from the morning’s motorway slog, the sumptuous…

‘Exactly what a standard-steel Bentley ought to be’

Corniche values are softening

Don’t get excited. The Corniche isn’t going up in value, it’s actually going down, with decent convertibles now buyable for less than £50,000. Even some of the much rarer Bentley versions have seen softening in values recently. This particular Hot Tip is to illustrate how keeping an eye on auction entries in advance of sales and checking previous auction results can pay handsome dividends. And for that I commend Hampson’s ’71 Corniche FHC knocked down in March. A very well-presented car in Seychelles Blue with gently mellowed tobacco hide and immediately useable, it made only £15,750. That’s a low figure for a nicely presented, well running, shiny and MoT-tested Corniche hardtop. The history was limited to some previous MoTs, the mileage was an indicated (but not warranted) 139,000 and it…

Corniche values are softening

There was one standout celebrity at H&H’s 15 March Duxford sale – the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Drophead Coupé that was bought new in 1968 by Michael Caine. He may only have kept it for two years, and was always chauffeur-driven, but it did feature extensively in a 1969 documentary on Caine so the connection is strong. More recently restored and with strong post-Caine history, the £135k it sold for is about double the worth of a regular one. As for the rest of the sale, it was a pretty fair result, with 72% of the 118 cars heading for new homes. What did stand out was the poor response to cars without true pedigree, whether you choose to call them specials, replicas or evocations. There were more than usual in…

Safari browsing

If one of the reasons you’re attracted to classic cars is because they help you stand out from the crowd, an Allard P2 Safari will do the job, in any crowd – even one consisting of rare classics. It’s surely not a car even its creator Sydney Allard would have described as beautiful, but it is certainly striking, captivating even. Admit it – you couldn’t walk past one without wanting to take a closer look. Not that you’ll get many chances to do so. A specialist car builder, Allard rarely turned out no more than 500 of any model, but just 13 orders were placed for P2 Safaris between 1952 and ’55. Just four, possibly five remain. They were expensive – the £1949 price was the kind of money that,…

‘One Royal owner’: what’s it worth?

BAn analysis of cars once owned by the Royal Family has shown that such provenance adds an average of 113 per cent overall – but association with top royals can add a huge extra premium. Hagerty analysed the data from sales over the past 30 years and compared the price attained with the value of an identical car without royal links. Unsurprisingly, given the record sale of her 1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo last year for £722,500, Princess Diana topped the list with an average increase of 813 per cent. Louis Mountbatten was close behind with 616 per cent after the £126,000 sale of a Jaguar 420 in 2021 against Hagerty’s standard value of £12,900. Association with the late Queen added a conservative 40 per cent to the value. Cars…

Resto Show steps up a gear

Marques more readily associated with the likes of Rétromobile and Techno Classica Essen distinguished the 2023 Practical Classics Restoration Show. Highlights included a barn-find Facel Vega, a racing Jaguar E-type crashed at Snetterton when new, and the very first Healey. Healey Westland Roadster prototype ‘This is the first time this car has been seen in public since 1946,’ said owner Warren Kennedy of the mid-restoration Healey Westland Roadster prototype. ‘It was the very first car Donald Healey built, chassis number one, started just after the second world war ended and finished in January 1946. I actually have a letter from Donald Healey to motoring journalist Bill Boddy, inviting him to drive it. Chassis two, incidentally, was the Westland saloon prototype. ‘But this one is the only Westland to feature concealed…

Florida’s Fantasy Island

Unusual categories, including 75 Years of Denzel and Fiberglass Dreams, mixed the bizarre with traditional art-deco Americana at the 2023 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. In addition, the Werks Reunion, held at the Golf Club of Amelia Island venue two days before the Concours, brought some dramatic landmark Porsches to light. Porsche 910 Starring at the Werks Reunion, this ex-Niki-Lauda Porsche 910 has just arrived in the US following a fiv-eyear restoration, although owner Dirk Sadlowski found the early-build car in Austria back in 1994. ‘It was used for hillclimb racing by the factory, which meant it had to be registered for the road. When the factory then sold the car to racing driver Rudi Lins, it came with the 10-page Austrian title and it’s still registered in Europe. ‘It’s been…

Treasure buried under bike bits

SEND US YOUR BARN FINDS – BEST ONE WINS £100 This 1960 Facel Vega HK500 was so well buried when the auction consignor paid a visit, he didn’t notice what it was and concentrated on the late owner’s motorcycle collection. Mike Davis of H&H is usually a motorcycle specialist but when the debris was shifted around a bit on his next visit, there was no disguising a rather exciting form. ‘It was buried under motorbike frames, wheels, lights and so on,’ says Mike. ‘It was only when the clear-out got under way that you could see what was in there. It’s a very rare car; we think it’s one of only 98 UK-market Facel Vegas, and far fewer than that survive.’ Any right-hand-drive Facel is notable, but a well-optioned HK500…

Monza vs SD1 Vitesse

LETTER OF THE MONTH The March issue brought back memories of a Rover SD1 (‘I knew it was rotten as a pear. It was scrap’) and Opel Monza (Everyman Executive). During the Eighties my friend Brian had a Monza 3.0E with a fiv-espeed manual and limited-slip differential, which was mainly fitted to the automatics. It was a metallic brown that still looked dirty after spending a whole day washing and Simonizing! I bought it because Brian had his eye on a twin-plenum SD1 Vitesse. At the time, some school buddies and I were keen on skiing – and we had the offer of a flat in Schladming in Austria for two weeks. Somewhere in Germany after quite a few petrol stops, Brian spotted on the map that the next section…

QUENTIN WILLSON

As Iwrite, Top Gear’s future is looking perilous. Another serious crash during filming has brought questions about the show’s safety back into the limelight and the BBC is considering its future. As someone who spent 10 years presenting every week, I – like so many others – will be enormously sad if it can’t be saved. Top Gear should be remembered as an unprecedented hybrid factual entertainment TV format uniquely hosted by front people with background. Tiff, Vicky, Jeremy, Richard, James and I were old-school car journalists whose judgement and experience rooted our comedy and shock value in certainty. During Top Gear’s golden years from early 1990 to 2015 overnight viewing figures broke seven million and global numbers reached 400 million – and that was while it was still on…

JOHN FITZPATRICK

Iam sadly nearing the end of my winter sojourn in Florida but last week my wife, who is a keen artist, told me that while attending her art class at the Vero Beach Museum of Art, she had seen that there was a classic car display in one of the halls and thought I may be interested to take a look. I admit that I was rather sceptical but decided to pay a visit anyway (I was looking forward to some sort of activity to take my mind off my deteriorating golf game). The museum is situated in a magnificent classical building and the art on display is outstanding. Vero Beach is a very old and wealthy area, where many people from the colder north of the US and Canada…

QUENTIN WILLSON’S SMART Buys 2023

These are troubled times. Gone are the days when buying a decent-condition classic carried a minimal risk. While our market has proved miraculously resilient against massive external pressures, nobody’s pretending everything is lovely. Prices have softened, demand has slowed, and nothing seems predictable. That’s why this year’s Smart Buys reflect the current uncertainties. We’ve selected a dozen cars at three different price levels – budget, value and treat – and assessed their relative risk factors, from low to medium and high. We’ve chosen them as smart buys for everybody, regardless of budget or appetite for risk. And we have three class leaders: the Mercedes 320CE coupé as a medium risk and low-budget buy, the Alfa S2 Spider as a low risk and charismatic value classic, and the wonderful Honda NSX…

QUENTIN WILLSON’S SMART Buys 2023

Alfa Romeo Spider S2 Veloce 2000

The evergreen 1970-82 Spider S2 is a low-risk buy and definitely strong value. Much more charismatic than contemporary TR6s and MGBs, the Spider’s allure of Pininfarina style and Italian panache gets stronger every year. Shiny, useable cars start at £20,000, with the very best rising to around £60k – but there are plenty available, many have had all-important body restorations, and quite a few right-hand-drive examples pop up. In December 2022, CCS auctioned a very nice green ’78 right-hand drive S2 with 50,000 warranted miles, a bare metal respray and recent major service for £19,668, while in July H&H knocked down a right-hooker red ’74 car with 90,000 miles and recent body, trim and mechanical refresh for £18k. Those prices would be higher now. In 1970 the second-gen Kamm tail…

Bentley Turbo R

CHEAP? NO GREAT VALUE? Yes! The Turbo R is the car that reinvented Bentley and, if bought carefully, isn’t the liability that many suppose. Old-school analogue engineering helps, but you’ll also need an expert specialist to keep on top of things. Launched in 1985, using lessons from the Mulsanne Turbo, the R stood for road holding and despite a price tag north of £100,000, the 150mph Bentley was a smash hit. The 12-year run saw many mechanical and cosmetic upgrades, and the later model years are most refined. Disreputably fast and raffish, they’re a hoot to drive, defying gravity and physics to handle surprisingly neatly. Press on and you’ll get 12mpg, but settle in and enjoy the waft factor and it feels like Blenheim Palace on a skateboard. Turbo Rs…

Bentley Turbo R

The swoopy E9 BMW 3.0CSi isn’t as expensive as you think; £55,000 still buys a nice one. For something so special – only 207 were sold between ’73 and ’75, of which only 120 survive – we think this is great low-risk value for one of the rarest BMWs. In October 2022 H&H sold a restored blue ’74, fresh from a mechanical and cosmetic resto for £52,875, while in 2021 Historics sold a silver ’73 with 44,000 miles and £100k of bills for £52,640. Three years ago, they were at the £35,000 level, so they’ve perked up noticeably with manual right-hookers the most wanted. Made iconic by the all-conquering ‘Batmobile’ CSL European Touring Car Championship versions, the 3.0 CSi has always radiated a sexy high-end allure, aided by its original…

The third-gen E39 M5 of 1998 was the first M car with a V8 and good for 0 to 60mph in 4.8 seconds. With a limited maximum of 155mph – derestricted it could touch 186 – it was advertised as ‘The Fastest Saloon Car in the World’ and hailed for its mellifluous engine, slick six-speed box and poised rear-drive handling balance. The new all-alloy S62 4.9-litre engine pulled 394bhp and had VANOS variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust cams. Manual only, it was a match for most contemporary supercars, but with a disarmingly serene demeanour. It looks like any other old ’90s BM (until you spot the quad exhausts) and the interior has wood and leather, optional heated seats, TV, room for five and clever orange rev counter…

Gordon Murray said that the NSX’s design was so ‘monumental’ that it inspired the McLaren F1 – and even bought one himself. This temperament-free supercar has stunning chassis balance and brilliant mid-mounted engines with accessible running costs. We think the risk factor is lower than for any other supercar and it’s a solid gold treat. Unpredictable prices recently make a good NSX feel like a real buying opportunity. In November 2022, Silverstone Auctions sold a perfect 11,000-mile manual ’92 in red for £112,500, but that February Dore and Rees auctioned a UK-supplied green ’97 auto with 63k miles and 15 Honda dealer stamps for £43,000. We reckon a 3.0 manual with mid mileage and FSH could be yours for £60,000 to £70,000. And nobody expects that the NSX will be…

Chevrolet Corvette C1 V8

GO ON TREAT Yourself The first-gen Corvette is flamboyant and undervalued. As the first American sportscar to challenge the domination of the European auto makers, the C1 has a significant place in history. In 2022 the Old Timer Galerie Auction in Switzerland sold a rare restored and matching numbers 1962 C1 ’Vette with fuel injection for £65,632. GM only built 1918 ‘fuelies’ and they’re highly desirable. But in the UK, we’re not familiar with Corvette minutiae, so C1s can be opportunities. We’re suggesting the 1956-on version with the coved body sides and 240bhp V8 which is more civilised than the ’53, having wind-up windows, improved interior and optional hardtop. ’57s got a bigger 220bhp, 4.6 V8 – advertised as ‘One Horsepower Per Cubic Inch’ – plus a new four speed…

Chevrolet Corvette C1 V8

Audi Quattro Turbo 10V

The legendary Quattro needs no introduction. Prodigious power and permanent four-wheel drive propelled it to 23 international rally wins and two World Rally Championships, and gave Audi a halo of aspiration. Launched in 1980 at a hefty £17,000, it could dispatch 60mph in seven seconds and hit 143mph. UK right-hand-drive cars came in from 1983. We’re recommending the first 10V versions with the WR code 2.1 and MB code 2.2 five-pot engines. At £25,000- £35,000 they’re better value than the 1989-on 20V cars that can now make £60k; 10 valvers also wear the same box arches and Ronal alloys as the 20V, so are hard to tell apart. In March Silverstone sold a white ’84 10V with 88,000 miles and 27-year ownership for £36,000, while Anglia sold a silver left-hooker…

Aston Martin DBS6

The William Towns-designed DBS of 1967 looks better every year. Elegant yet muscular, it’s rarer than a DB5 and did 007 duty in the ’69 Bond flick On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. I’ve been expecting the S to get the appreciation it deserves, but prices are still miles behind earlier DB Astons – though they are gradually moving up. In 2001 Bonhams sold a nice brown, older restoration auto ’71 for £42,750, then at Goodwood in 2022 they auctioned a decent older-restoration blue ’68 manual for £59,800, and then this year at Amelia Island they sold a silver lhd US-supplied ’69 manual for £68,575. At less than £100k, fine, recently restored cars feel undervalued. With 285 bhp from the 4.0-litre six, 60mph comes up in 5.8 seconds, but around town…

History Improve the history by creating a chronological folder with paperwork, bills and photographs in a ring binder. Download past MoTs from the gov.uk website. Get a Heritage Certificate and write to previous owners and repairers to see if they still have any records and put the registration number into an internet search engine to see if any magazine articles, auction appearances or old adverts pop up. Buyers love thick history files. Detailing Detailing improves the perceived value of the car, so spend time on the under-bonnet area, interior and boot.

FLYING WITHOUT WINGS

The Pegaso’s modern racing technology made it an outright challenger to Ferrari Just imagine what the world thought when Barcelona truck manufacturer ENASA (Empresa Nacional de Autocamiones SA) decided to give its best engineer, Wifredo Ricart, permission to develop a 100% Spanish sports car that could compete with the fastest from Italy. Spain was trying to bounce back from the tribulations of civil war and World War II, and was ruled with a heavy hand by dictator Francisco Franco. The last thing the poor population needed was a sports car that cost a fortune, but it came anyway, to impress upon the rest of the world that Spain – which was Europe’s poorest country at that time – was also capable of technical feats to rival its continental peers. The…

‘When it was discovered, it was only fit for Fred Flintstone’

I knew I wanted to get something collectible and interesting,’ Phil Parry, owner of this glorious 356, tells us during a visit to his Essex-based workshop. Phil’s rare ‘Pre-A’ Porsche was put on the long road to concours-grade restoration over a decade ago, back in 2011. ‘I’d made friends with a Porsche car hunter in the States called Rusty Tubs. He started searching all over the US for a special 356 for me. After rejecting a lot of examples, he sent me an email simply stating, “This is your car”.’ The 356 that Rusty – an appropriate name, as it turned out – had found was indeed special. It had both a prominent former owner and a tantalising hint of racing history. ‘Originally consigned to Paris dealer Sonauto, its first…

THE LIFE STORY OF A Mercedes-Benz 190TD

September 1989 – Penny and Andrew Torok place an order for a new Mercedes-Benz 190TD Australians Penny and Andrew Torok decided to visit their European roots for lengthy periods – and needed a car to transport them and their luggage. Penny explains. ‘It was 1989 and we were living in Melbourne, but we wanted to travel – and rent rather than staying in hotels. As it turned out, we spent the next 32 years driving all over Europe. ‘We needed a reliable, comfortable car, and being able to buy a Mercedes in Australia and then pick it up in Germany was convenient. Lanes Motors of Melbourne guided us through the purchase. The specification was vital, as we were going a long way. We did 300,000 kilometres in all – we…

Apart from the model, we had no drawings – it was all in the boss’s head

Any list of the top 10 most radical cars ever produced must surely include the Panther-6 – the outrageous convertible powered by a mid-mounted twin-turbocharged 8.2-litre Cadillac engine, with a front end featuring four steerable wheels. It looks like something out of a Sixties Gerry Anderson TV series, but this was no flight of fantasy – it was a real car, built by British specialist Panther Westwinds in its Surrey factory. Dick Stacey joined the company in 1973, after serving an apprenticeship in sheet metalwork – and played a major role in the construction of the Panther-6, which appeared in 1977. He had replied to a job advert for a sheet metalworker at Panther Westwinds and soon encountered the company’s mercurial owner Robert Jankel, a man who was to cut…

Eight steps to buying a Ferrari 550 Maranello

Once it got depreciation out of the way from its £143k launch price, the Ferrari 550 Maranello has increased in value since it was discontinued, with the best now nudging £100k. This isn’t simply down to its usability – the 5.5-litre V12 has proved to be tough, while the rest of the car has shown little more than minor foibles by supercar standards. The manual gearbox and minimal driver aids – just basic traction control – add to its appeal as the last old-school V12 Ferrari. To keep it on top form, owners will need to spend around £3000 a year, assuming you buy a good one that avoids maintenance and repair costs skyrocketing. To guide us on how to go about that, we’ve enlisted the help of Mike Wheeler…

Eight steps to buying a Ferrari 550 Maranello

Bugatti: The Italian Decade By Gautam Sen, £125, daltonwatson.com, ISBN 978 1 85443 309 1 At the core of this stunning, eye-opening book sits the Bugatti EB110, but in reality this is an epic tale of a fascinating moment in the Italian car industry. Sen draws together threads from design, engineering and business into a moment where a retired Ferruccio Lamborghini was called upon to revisit the supercar world. We’re then thrust into the Eighties’ supercar boom, with big personalities clashing, fortunes being made and lost, and cars looking destined for production before being left on the drawing board. Sen sources first-hand voices and previously unseen photos to document an era of promising might-have-beens and dashed hopes. The story of the Veyron that followed this period seems boring in comparison.…

Dark forces at work Jaguar E-type S1 FHC Owned by Phil Bell (phil.bell@bauermedia.co.uk) Time owned 13 years Latest/total mileage 34/109,613 Latest/total costs £0/£16,105 A double rollover trip to Le Mans Classic So much for playing the amateur sleuth. Whenever my E-type tries to provoke a reaction by hinting that all may not be well, I try to avoid overreacting and assuming the worst. When a symptom of trouble appears, I will investigate further, do a little research and weigh up the possibilities before diving in with the spanners. So, when I noticed an ominous dark patch beneath the car at our last village car club gathering, I tried not to assume it had developed an engine oil leak. Sure, the stain was beneath the engine, and a spatter pattern led…

1971 De Tomaso Pantera £87,995 Want to be noticed and enjoy the distinctive rather than the obvious? Try this searingly Seventies supercar, says Ian Shaw Early, original-condition Panteras are a rare thing to come across in the UK. The model’s detractors would label it a parts-bin special, but the mass-produced and well-proven Ford V8 probably offers a better long-term ownership prospect than many of the Latin Seventies supercar powerplants. Although supplied new to an owner in Italy, this particular example went to America at a year old and stayed in one-family ownership until 2012 when it was imported to the UK. It drives very well, feels solid and has an excellent history – the car has had £10,000 spent on it within the past two years. It is something of…

‘We designed the suspension on the 205 GTi three times’

He was the man who made the Peugeot 205 GTi what it was, and both the 405 Mi16 and the 306 GTi,’ said Tom Ford as he introduced his interviewee in the June 2003 issue of CAR. All bloodlines of great-handling cars have a feted chassis engineer behind them. The likes of Gianpaolo Dallara, Richard Parry-Jones and Roger Becker are inseparable from the benchmark cars they created. But Ford, a former owner of a 205 GTi, was keen to meet the person responsible for the way Peugeots drove, just as it launched the 206 GTi RC180. ‘Bouillet is officially Responsible Synthése Client; Direction Produits Marchés,’ Ford explained. ‘If a new product has to get from 0-62mph in a certain time, then Bouillet makes it happen. If it has to have…
