Colin produced approximately 300 frame kits between 1975 - 1978 (frame numbers 501-802) which were very expensive costing £1295 in 1977. Each Seeley Honda is individual with various states of tune and this one is no exception.

All the chrome work has been replated or replaced as necessary and as many of the original components have been retained.

The Herald family was launched in 1959 with a 948cc engine which was available in saloon and convertible designs, with coupé and estate versions to follow. Triumph continued to improve the Herald range to cater for all tastes, but it was evident from the earliest days that the car was no ball of fire, so in 1962 a reengineered version called the Vitesse 1600 was introduced. The main distinguishing features of the new model were the new straight six overhead valve engine, restyled front end with twin head lamps which were angled seductively giving the new model an easily identifiable look from the previous models.

Throughout its production run the Spitfire models always out sold the Sprite and Midget range of cars. The Spitfire went through Mk 2, Mk 3 and Mk 4 versions with the 1300cc engine.

189 The historically significant one millionth Morris Minor 1000 saloon, registration number 1 MHU, chassis number M-A2S3/1000000, engine number 503889, originally 9M-U-H/504066, lilac. The millionth Morris Minor rolled off the No 1 assembly line at the giant Cowley Works on the 22nd December 1960. Its designer Alec Issigonis was there with other Nuffield organisation top brass to savour the success of a car which had captured the hearts of the British public. The publicity department played their part, issuing a press release on 4th January 1961 entitled The Morris Minor Million - a Great Engineering and Commercial Achievement, which went on to tell of the feat unique in the history of the British Motoring Industry i.e. the production of one million vehicles of a common design - the greatest British-made seller in any class. The Millionth Minor, one of 349 Specials produced, 318 were sold on the UK home market, 31

left-hand drive models were exported to North America and 9 to Europe. Based on a standard 1961 2-door saloon, the Millionth Specials were painted in eye-catching lilac. They received a luxurious white leather interior with black piping, white door cards, black carpets and grey sun visors, externally they bore extra chrome rings on the wheel trims and unique 1,000,000 badgeing. The actual Millionth Minor was passed from the Nuffield Group publicity department to the National Union of Journalists on the 20th April 1961 for use in a National fund raising campaign in aid of the British Red Cross, and was subsequently raffled on National television. The lucky winner was a Miss Susan George from Wales, who was too young to drive at the time and it was subsequently sold to the local postman. The Millionth Minor came to the attention of the current owner in 1970 when visiting his holiday home in Dyfed Wales, still going strong, although now painted red. In 1971 the car was involved in an accident when it slid into a ditch damaging the driver’s side. The current owner purchased the car soon after the accident and trailered it back to his Birmingham home. Two further house moves and two decades passed before restoration took place at Northbrook College in Worthing, where it received a full restoration by Derek Smith, a Senior Lecturer in Motor Vehicle Studies. There is a vast history file with the car within five document wallets containing receipts totalling approximately £15,000 for the restoration, various magazine and newspaper articles relating to the car, photographs of the rebuild, Heritage Certificate and old MOT’s. The car has been dry stored in recent years due to pressure of work and has only covered a nominal mileage since the restoration. This is a unique opportunity to purchase an historically significant vehicle and a small piece of the British motoring history. RF60, V5, no current MOT, currently on SORN Estimates £18000 – 22000

190 A 1972 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Mk 1, registration number HOU 999L, chassis number SRH13625, engine number 13625, Sand over Astrakhan.

This Silver Shadow comes direct from a large private collection and has been stored in a car-coon.

These included plain Sundym glass, automatic speed control, Marshall Quartz Iodine headlamps and white wall radial tyres. There is the original bill of sale from Mann Egerton and Co Ltd, London Road, Derby for £8734.93, service bills and seventeen MOT’s including the current MOT to substantiate the 52,450 recorded miles. This is a very well maintained and low mileage Silver Shadow which is a cut above the average car, and deserves a new caring owner. V5C, V5, MOT to August 2010, tax exempt Estimates £6500 – 7500

191 A 1948 Rolls Royce HJ Mulliner Sedanca de Ville, registration Number KXN 617, chassis number WCB55, engine number W183B, black over maroon.

The W113 series of Mercedes sports cars were produced between 1963 - 1971 with the 230SL model, the 250SL which was produced for just one year and finally the 280SL. All models were fitted with a straight six engine with Bosch multi point fuel injection. The Pagoda name came from the shape of the hard top which was dished in the centre with high flanks resembling the shape of a Japanese pagoda roof. The W113 cars were fitted with a fully retractable soft top, which sat underneath a metal tonneau cover, and when the hard top is fitted it gives the impression that it is a full fixed head coupe. The 280SL offered here is an automatic model with works hard top and soft top, and blue MB-tex interior. This SL formed part of a private collection and has been dry stored in a car-coon for a number of years. It will now require recommissioning before going back into regular road use. V5C, no MOT or tax Estimates £11000 – 13000

193 A 1973 BMW 3.0 CSL, registration number YRW 623L, chassis number 2285404, engine number 2285404, yellow with black vinyl roof and black coachlines and script. The BMW CSL (Coupé Sport Leicht) was the lightweight homologation version of the 3.0 CS. Utilising thinner gauge steel, bespoke aluminium panels (doors, bonnet & boot), slimmer glass and less sound deadening, this reduced the overall weight by 300 lbs compared to the standard CS coupé. This very rare lightweight coupé is one of 500 right hand drive examples, this being No 404. The specification and equipment levels were high with all-round independent suspension, Getrag five speed gearbox, 3003cc straight 6 engine with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection. The performance figures are still impressive by today’s standards with 0-60 mph time of 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 149 mph when new. The current vendor purchased the CSL in 1981 and used it as his everyday transport until 1986. The coupé has been kept in dry storage since. The indicated 67,000 miles is believed to be genuine. The history file contains the last MOT dated November 1986, owner’s handbook and various magazine articles. The CSL will now require careful recommissioning and localised restoration to retain the originality and should appeal to any BMW collector. V5, no current MOT or tax Estimates £7000 – 8000
