Marcos Mantara Spyder 3.9i A very rare English sportscar Certainly a head-turner In 1992, the Marcos Mantara was introduced as a factory-made model – a further extension of the original GT styling but on steroids. Powered by Rover V8 3.9 EFI engine. The Mantara ended up campaigning in GT racing, with the ultimate version the LM600 The Mantara incorporated a McPherson strut damper, coil spring and anti roll bar based on a Ford system and makes for a more pleasurable driving experience, plus the Mantara was the first Marcos with power-assisted steering. This 1994 model has had a small number of owners, the last reluctantly making way for another vehicle. The car has been well looked after see following service history which is all Marcos specialists and will include a new service. A new hood has been recently fitted and the radiator has been upgraded. The car has an Alpine stereo and as the original bill of sale shows was fitted with options of leather, power steering. 13″ steering wheel, alarm immobiliser, headlamp covers, and icebox for future A/C Service history 47 miles 1177 miles 6537 miles 11,480 miles 18,208 miles 24,054 miles 29,734 miles 35,936 miles 41,495 miles 48,371 miles 54,152 miles 59,038 […] £16,750

Rover P5B coupe 3.5 Litre V8 The stylish Rover P5B Coupe With only 17 of the 1973 model year on the road and 360 P5B’s in total. This car was the 185th last of the model that ceased production in 1973. The Rover P5B was quite the car in the 70’s, as it is today The last iteration in a production run of 13 years, it was very much a desired luxury car of the era and now a highly desirable The P5B was named so because of its new bigger 3.5L V8 engine, which was designed by Buick (being the B) From a design perspective, the car has a lower roofline and rakish rear window to the saloon, with striking front headlight cluster, the introduction of fog lamps, and the 3.5 badges and Rostyle wheels Mechanically the coupe included power steering and a Borg-Warner automatic gearbox as standard. The 3½ Litre saloon variant was a favourite of high-ranking Government Ministers and served as Prime Ministerial transport even the Queen had one. Presented at the London Motor Show in October 1965, described at the time as “even more luxuriously trimmed and furnished”. It was again available in two 4-door body styles, coupé and saloon.

Lotus Esprit Turbo 2.2 (X180) Lotus Esprit Turbo X180 When first launched this model Esprit received a state-of-the-art turbo upgrade that gave the mid-engined sports car blessed with supercar styling….with it. This Lotus model was now touching supercar territory. With all the handling, style and finesse of the standard Esprit but with genuine supercar-challenging performance The extra 50bhp over the normal 2.2-litre Esprit comes from a Garrett T3 turbocharger, though the entire engine was re-engineered to with the additional power and torque. In 1985 the suspension was revised to use more Toyota and fewer Triumph parts, thus making it easier to keep on the road. Giugiaro is said to have liked the new shape, claiming it was perhaps too close to his original design. The exterior changes were accompanied by a redesign of the interior that gave more space to the occupants. The revised Esprit was not given a new “Series” number but is often called by its project code of X180. Panels for the body were produced using a new process called Vacuum Assisted Resin Injection. This method, also helped increased the Esprit’s torsional rigidity by 22%. The X180 cars inherited most of their mechanical components from the earlier cars, although the name for the forced […] £23,595

Daimler Series III – Double Six V12 First off this car has spent some time in Japan – don’t be alarmed by this its actually a good thing because generally they were much more treasured and looked after than those that remained here, plus are much less prone to rust because of the climate (less salt on the roads) This car was manufactured in 1992 and spent sometime in Japan before being exported back to the UK. Clearly in Japan she was very much cherished and enjoyed the lack of salt for ice therefore, hasn’t rusted. The Double Six is a fast car, as it should be with a 5.3L, 313bhp V12 engine, and the power delivery is matched to an equally smooth automatic transmission. The Double Six was far cheaper than the cheapest Rolls-Royce or Bentley in its day but oozes much the same opulence and is virtually as well made Engine 5,993cc. V12 cylinders, 313bhp at 5,350rpm. Four-speed automatic gearbox, rear-wheel drive. Top speed 152mph, 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. Fuel consumption 14-19mpg. Polished walnut and soft leather abound, of course, and rear passengers have plenty of toys to play with.
