1954 Bristol 405
Bristol 405 1954
We are delighted to offer a most unusual and very rare motor car with a fabulous provenance. The Bristol 405 was the Bristol Motor company’s first 4 door saloon. It was produced alongside the 404 Coupe. This model was a true “Family Express” in its day.
Bristol only produced aro...und 370 of this model making it an extremely rare motor car, and of course they haven’t all survived by any means. Many have been stripped of their engine and running gear as they are extremely desirable for other projects. This particular car is believed to be the companies Motor Show car for 1954, and also the car that was used as the press car at the time, certainly being featured in The Motor, October 6th 1954 in it’s original colour of Chinese Ivory.
It is in fact car number 2, only the second production one to be built, and it is showing only 1 former keeper the current keeper having owned the car since the early 1960’s. There can’t be many cars at this age with only 2 keepers in total.
Although the history file with the car is not complete, it does show major work being carried out to the car in the late 70’s by Specialist restorers, TT Workshops. The work carried out then ran to over £5000, a huge amount of money at the time. Furthermore there are a large number of MOT certificates in the file which lead us to believe that the car may have only done around 115000 miles in total. It also comes with all types of registration documents from the first “Green” one through to the current V5.
We offer this car in need of modest work now; it is in delightfully patinated condition but would benefit now from some improvement to the paintwork, door catches, etc. The rear bumper for example will need re-chroming.
It is MOT’d until August 2010, and had the “Top End” overhauled in 2007, when it was converted to unleaded fuel, and since then has covered somewhere in the region of around 500 miles in total. The car has always been stored correctly, indoors in a well ventilated garage to protect the Ash frame, and has always been looked after like “One of the Family”.

1954 Arnolt Bristol Bolide
ARNOLT BRISTOL "BOLIDE", LHD, 1954, registration 655 XUN, chassis nr. 404/X/3057, FIVA papers.
Built in only 142 examples, the Arnolt Bristol was a brilliant idea of Eng. S.H."Wacky" Arnolt, who put together the Italian design of carrozzeria Bertone and the Bristol engine and chassis;... one of the most beautiful sportscars of the fifities, this American "Bolide" was conceived to compete at Sebring or at the 1955 Mille Miglia. Our rare LHD car has been assembled in Italy on a Bristol manufactured chassis in March 1954, then sent to Arnolt Inc. in Chicago to be solt to Mr. Jess Eakin; the car was raced in the SCCA series by Steve Reece, an Oklahoma driver, then it has been a part of The Thomas Miller Collection in Indiana. UK imported in the year 2008, this car has been extensively restored by the marque specialist Andrew Mitchell, who put all his professional efforts in the engine and the bodywork perfection of this example. The car is really in excellent condition with a huge set of documents, proper FIVA papers and it's ready for an important season of events like the MILLE MIGLIA; a genuine investment for the most ambitious collector!

A 1956 Bentley S1 with Continental 2-Door bodywork by H J Mulliner, restored in 2004, attracted a mid-estimate £166,500 from a new owner at Bonhams Oxford, reports Richard Hudson-Evans. During a well supported Saturday afternoon in the Kidlington saleroom, a premium-inclusive £62,000, £12,000 more than forecast, was av...ailable for a left-hand drive 1964 S3 HJMPW Continental Coupe.
Left-hand drive buyers in attendance also boosted the auction performance of a restored and upgraded 1961 Jaguar Mk2 3.8 with £40,000 worth of bills on file which made £33,925. Other noteworthy Jaguar results included a 1966-made and £44,000 restored E Type Series 1 4.2 2+2 Coupe sold for £35,600. Whilst in the pink, literally - actually painted in very period Heather - was a 1973 E Type Series 3 V12 Roadster with hardtop and colour co-ordinated pink leather and cuddly toy which found £32,200.
In raising £87,300, a really mint Ford RS200 4T 4WD Coupe with factory-supplied ‘Rally Kit’ upgrade and only 6804 mileage from new in 1989 established a new milestone price at auction for a Group B Ford. Whilst the above forecast £15,238 paid for a 23,312 miles since 1990 Caterham Super Seven Cosworth 1600 BDR was also strong money - and its Brian James MinnoMax 1600kg 4-Wheel Trailer, which cost £2600 in 2008, attracted a wave of bidders until sold for a double top estimate £2070.
Aston Martin prices recorded here included a 2005 restored 1984 V8 Vantage Fixed Head 2+2 for which an over top estimate £41,100 was forthcoming. A 1977 V8 Series 3 cost a just over estimate £21,275 and a 6-cylinder 1971 DBS on wires the forecast £19,550.
By selling for a strong £21,563, a Porsche 911 Turbo from 1986, and therefore with the earlier 4 rather than 5-speed box, is likely to have boosted the valuations of other examples of this turbocharged sleeper 911.
Locally made MG also pulled well with a 1968 C GT Coupe on wires selling for £14,663, a 1972 B Roadster with overdrive for £8165 and a 1976 B GT auto on wires for £5750.
Restoration projects continue to pull with a 1936 Alvis Speed Twenty-Five Charlesworth Sports Saloon being taken on for £31,050 and a 1961 TD21 Sports Saloon auto from the same marque for £8740. A mighty rare Rippon-bodied 1952 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Saloon project raised £6670, a very crumbly 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT £4140 and near derelict 1980 MG Midget 1500 £230.
Whereas 39 entries sold at this sale last year for £902,185, this time in Oxfordshire, buyers spent £930,229 on 44 vehicles, investing a premium-inclusive £1,017,348 in cars and automobilia.

1970 Pontiac Cuda AAR
‘Cuda fans it simply doesn’t get much better than this: A numbers matching, rust free, all original sheetmetal, documented, four speed AAR built on an original paint survivor car. If you’re looking for a definitive restoration with a ten page visual vehicle inspection from expert Dave Wis...e of ICCA stating it’s a freshly restored #1 car give us a call.
If you’re looking for verification this car was as nice as we say it was, ee have four cd’s worth of pictures showing detail after detail on this car. The fenders, the decklid, the floors, the framerails…all immaculate. The upper body was sanded down to bare metal while the chassis was blasted clean. Every part which could come off was tagged, cleaned and refinished as original. Obviously, weatherstripping and other soft trim was replaced, but you’ll find an unreal amount of original parts on this car. Nearly every part on the car was personally inspected by Dave Wise, and he graded all of them. His final tally was a grade of 1.5, which is halfway between an excellently restored car and a perfect trailer queen. Each part is graded individually from fasteners to component assemblies: If you wanted to take the car to the very top level you’ll know exactly what needs attention.
Pull the hood pins and gently lift on the hood to show the immaculately detailed engine compartment. There are the correct hoses and spark plug wires, and the air filter’s correct, the motor’s the right shade of orange and the compartment itself is gorgeous. Cool little details are everywhere, from the correct, dimpled and date coded voltage regulator to the restored original air cleaner and carbs. The underside of the hood is matte black (non textured) as original and the wiper motor and other plated parts sparkle. What else would you expect from a concours car?
AARs and T/As have at least two tags, one (or more) for codes and a second tag that says “TRANS AM” for the A53 package. Here’s the coded fender tag breakdown:

N94 R11 V6H Y05 26

We put this guy on the lift and were blown away all over again. This is a concours restored car, and not an O.E. certified car. What’s the difference? Concours cars have protective finishes on everything to preserve the car forever, while O.E. guys spend their lives wiping down unprotected parts with light oil or celebrating surface rust. While there’s nothing wrong with pursuing assembly line perfection, you’ll have none of that with this car. It will be as gorgeous in 20 years as it is right now, and that’s impressive. The floor pans were painted in correctly-colored gray dip primer from Dave Patik, with correctly applied color coat overspray. The suspension is detailed to level 11. Rallye wheels hold the correct E60-15 front and G60-15 rear tires as the AAR and T/A models were the first production cars in the world to have staggered tire sizes. Also present is the top level suspension with Hemi-spec torsion bars and leaf springs, and front and rear sway bars, and all of it is impeccably done.
Lifting the correct mat reveals a trunk pan you could eat off of. Plenty of cash was spent replating the taillight housings, the trunk latch and the jack post, too, but when you go this far, go all out!
New seats and foams take center stage in the sanitary interior, accented on the floor by the always-cool Hurst pistol grip shifter. A mint dash pad covers the perfect, restored gauges, the steering wheel and column are perfect and everything from the carpet to the headliner isn’t just new--it’s installed perfectly. Far and away the most interesting detail in the interior can’t be seen without disassembling the back half: An assembly line worker at the Hamtramck plant would occasionally sign his nickname, “Rock,” on the high performance cars. I’ve only seen to others like this, and you can be sure the original white lettering is still on the wheelwell!
One of 42 known in Sassy Grass Green, the color is as uncommon as it is beautiful, accounting for a mere 4% of known cars. I love the color on AARs because it works so well with the blacked out treatments. The paint is a solid 10 out of 10, but the Organisol blows it away. Shiny, perfect paint is hard to achieve, but that textured stuff is nearly impossible to get right, and it’s the nicest I’ve ever seen! Obviously perfect chrome and stainless compliment the outstanding finish from the AAR-specific grille to the taillight bezels.
If you’re into Mopars, you’d have to agree this is arguably the nicest AAR on the planet, in a cool, rare color to boot. Whether you’re a Mopar guy, a ‘Cuda guy, a collector of rare cars or a Trans Am series enthusiast this will be the crown jewel of your collection!
