C
lassic Car Auctions is now recovering
from its huge sale which proved
successful on June 2. A high number of
cars from its near-180 car auction found new
homes with an over 70% sale rate. There was no
real trend as to what did sell and didn’t, with a
number of clean cars not finding new homes at
reasonable prices.
One of the rarer lots on sale was a 1995
AC Brooklands Ace, which was one of the last
production cars made under AC ownership, with
only 48 being built in total. 26,000 miles were
showing on the clock of the 5.0-litre V8 Ace.
It took £25,300 to take it off the hands of the
owner who had owned it for just one year.
A 1988 Audi Quattro Turbo 10v was another
car to sell well at CCA. It had been with the
owner for 19 years and MoTs, service receipts
and invoices dating back to 1991 provided a
strong history file. It had covered just 43,500
miles in its lifetime forcing the price to sky
rocket to £38,500.

the usual suspects that continued to do well in

ticks over smoothly and immediately on pulling
away it’s the low-down torque that impresses; the
car can accelerate briskly without ever needing to
use the upper half of the rev range.
Once underway, the suspension is firm,
although more forgiving than the Morgan.
Overdrive engaged, the TR3 will cruise all day at
70mph in relaxed style, so it’s easy to understand
how Vic must relish his long distance Continental
trips. The Triumph is perfectly capable of ambling
along country lanes or hustling through B-road

THE OVERLOOKED BENTLEY

Up until the arrival of the Silver Shadow,
Bentley tended to rival Rolls-Royce when
it came to sales success. The Silver
Cloud of 1955-65, for example, was
actually outsold by the Bentley S-series
equivalent, with the early S1 in particular
being significantly more popular than the
Silver Cloud I.
The generation before had also seen
Bentley enjoying considerable success
in the luxury car market. The 1946-52
MkVI sold over 5200 units in total, with
its R-Type successor of 1952-55 (derived
from the MkVI and featuring modified
rear styling) attracting 2323 buyers. By
comparison, the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn
(another MkVI derivative of 1949-55)

For 1985 the Quattro gained the restyled

interior from the regular front-drive Audi Coupe,
with new steering wheel, console and instrument
panel including the rotary switches. At this point
the wheels were enlarged from the 6x15 of the
early cars to a chunky 8x15.
The suspension geometry was adjusted for
1984 with the rear anti-roll bar removed to reduce
lift-off oversteer and was then lowered by 20mm
and gained stiffer springs during the facelift.
For 1988 the manually-operated centre
differential lock was replaced by an automatic
Torsen (torque-sensing) unit.
Box-arches apart, the bodyshell followed the
front-drive Coupe with the flat front and four
lamps changed to single lamp units for 1983
and then a smoother, angled grille for 1985.
The ‘RR’ cars also feature a modified floorpan to
clear the optional catalytic converter.
One way to tell the three models apart is the
badging: early ‘WR’ cars use stick-on decals for the
‘quattro’ emblem, whereas the ‘MB’ uses plastic
chrome Audi lettering and logo and the ‘RR’ uses
just the chrome plastic four rings logo.

rust is most common in the rear wheelarches,

The fuel-injected CVH is hardly the last word in
refinement, but it’s durable if well maintained. A
tired example will have all the usual ailments – high
oil consumption, heavy breathing, plenty of smoke
– but the most obvious sign of neglect is a rattling
top end. If the oil isn’t changed regularly, the CVH
is notorious for its hydraulic lifters becoming
covered in sludge and their resulting inefficiency

result of a faulty pink fuel injection relay. Cutting Later models used Ford's own engine management in place of the Bosch system.

What could be more useful than a classic panel van? An excellent survivor might not be the

in 1965 and was available in short- and long-
wheelbase versions and a choice of 1.7- or
2.0-litre V4 petrol power, eventually joined by
a 2.5 ‘York’ diesel. The Mk2 Transit arrived in
1978, essentially an updated Mk1 fitted with
a new-style front end; petrol (1.6-litre ‘Kent’)
and diesel engines were available, joined by a
2.0-litre OHC petrol and a 2.5-litre direct-injection
diesel in later years.
Whichever 1965-86 Transit you manage to
buy, you’ll find it’s one of the most useful, most
accommodating classic commercials on the
road – as well as one of the finest to drive.
The downside is the fact that values of original
or well-restored examples have increased
dramatically in recent years.
WHAT’S GREAT: It swallows loads, goes well
and handles brilliantly – it’s no wonder the
‘Trannie’ was every ne’er-do-well’s ultimate

CITROËN H-VAN
It seems as though just about every H-Van in the
UK has been converted into an artisan coffee
shop or crêperie, with such demand forcing an
increase in values of late. Find an unmolested
example, however, and you’ll get to enjoy one
of the world’s most distinctive classic panel
vans, as well as one of the longest-lived.
The H-Van arrived in 1947 and remained in
production for 34 years, with most of today’s
survivors being from its final decade and a half.
With monocoque construction, front-wheel drive
and all-round independent suspension, the Citroën
offers genuine innovation and modernity; but with
its 1911cc four-cylinder petrol engine pushing out
just 50bhp, it doesn’t offer much in the way of
performance. Still, it’s a useful and eye-catching
workhorse for the image-conscious buyer.
WHAT’S GREAT: One of the most instantly
recognisable classic vans of today, this iconic
Citroën combines trendiness with usefulness –
and is a boon to any business
WHAT TO WATCH: UK-based vans are later

 VOLKSWAGEN LT
VW moved up into the larger van market with
the arrival of its LT in 1975, predating the
T3-generation of Transporter by four years but
sharing similar square-cut styling. The LT differed
from its smaller brethren, however, by featuring
a front-mounted powerplant in a forward-control
style rather than being rear-engined. Gross
vehicle weights ranged from 2.8 to 3.5 tonnes,
giving the LT plenty of appeal at the top end of
the Transit class.
The rear-wheel drive LT offered a choice of
two different roof heights and two wheelbases,
and was initially powered by a 2.0litre four-
cylinder petrol engine – joined later by 2.4-litre
straight-six petrol and diesel units. It might not
be the most obvious classic Transit rival, but
the LT offers a touch of individuality for VW
commercial fans.
WHAT’S GREAT: The LT provides a highly
practical design, with maximum loadspace aided
by a forward-control engine layout – an unusual
move for an all-new van of the 1970s.
WHAT TO WATCH: It lasted 20 years, yet the
first-gen LT is now a fairly rare sight on the
classic commercial scene; rust has killed off
most examples, so look carefully for corrosion
and bad repair work; mechanically robust, but
many survivors will have covered vast mileages.

RENAULT MASTER
Arriving in 1980 (the same year as its smaller
cousin, the Trafic) was the Renault Master, a
distinctively styled van with all the low-floor
and extra-loadspace advantages of front-wheel
drive... at a time when most British operators
seemed to prefer the rear-drive layout of
old. That could be one of the reasons why
the Master remained a relatively niche model
this side of the English Channel, despite its
impressive 17-year run.
2.5-litre diesel and 2.1-litre petrol engines
were available initially, giving the Master a
decent choice of performance versus economy.
But its odd styling arguably did it no favours,
with its steeply-sloping front, flat-looking panels
and round door handle apertures making it look
rather strange next to the top-selling Transit.
Still, what a great choice for the individualist!
WHAT’S GREAT: As a way of standing out
from the classic commercial crowd, the WHAT TO WATCH: The Master managed to when buying; all outer panels can disintegrate,

FIAT DUCATO / CITROËN C25 /

TALBOT EXPRESS
This trio of vans was the result of collaboration
between the Fiat and PSA groups of Italy and
France respectively, with what was essentially the
same vehicle being given three different identities
and sold through three different dealer networks.
There was even an Alfa Romeo version sold
exclusively in Italy, but we won’t confuse the issue
here with that particular model...

MERCEDES-BENZ TN
Before the now-ubiquitous Sprinter came along in the mid-1990s, Mercedes-
Benz’s highly respected commercial offering was the TN van, a range that had
first appeared in 1977 and went on to enjoy 18 years of sales success. Three
different wheelbase lengths were available, with the shortest being the most
logical Transit rival of the time – although it was considerably more expensive
than the Ford to buy new.
A choice of petrol and diesel power was available over the years,
though the latter accounted for around 90% of all TN sales – with the
2404cc four-cylinder oil-burner from the Mercedes 240D saloon being the
most popular choice. And although that particular version is mechanically
robust, any TN can suffer from the dreaded tin worm unless it’s
exceptionally well looked after.
WHAT’S GREAT: Big, boxy and handsome, this classic Mercedes van was
a popular choice among operators of the 1970s and ’80s who craved the
ultimate in high-mileage reliability.
WHAT TO WATCH: It might be a classic Mercedes, but the TN series is

 FORD TRANSIT Mk3
While most fans of classic Transits tend to focus
on the Mk1 and Mk2, there’s now growing interest
in their dramatically different looking successor.
And we reckon it’s about time, given that the Mk3
Transit took a bow way back in 1986 – surviving
nine years before eventually undergoing a major
facelift. That’s surely old enough for this to be
considered something of a modern classic,
especially as smart early survivors are now few
and far between.
Engine choices for the Mk3 included 2.0-litre
petrol and 2.5-litre direct-injection diesel units,
although the 3.0-litre ‘Essex’ V6 was available to
special order (replaced in 1989 by the 2.9-litre
‘Cologne’ V6). A tidy Mk3 offers excellent value
now, although there have been some low-mileage
immaculate models achieving strong money in
recent months.
WHAT’S GREAT: This good looking and
dramatically different successor to the original
Transits brought Ford’s commercial division bang up
to date for the late 1980s – and was a huge hit
WHAT TO WATCH: If you think the Mk1 and Mk2
Transit can rust, wait until you see a neglected
Mk3’s ability to disintegrate; all outer panels were
prone to rust at an alarmingly young age, making
excellent Mk3s a rare sight now. Mechanically it's
very robust and with good spares supply.

1948 Delahaye 135M. Very Rare Three Position Drophead Coupé. Coachwork by Pennock. Original Right Hand Drive.
In 1935 a new generation of Delahayes was born starting with the T135 powered by a 3.2-litre engine, and in 1938 Prince Bira won the Donington 12-Hour Sports Car Race and went on to
take victory at Brooklands. The model reappeared post-WW2 as the 135M with the improved 3½-litre engine and bodied by famous coachbuilders such as Pennock, Figoni et Falaschi, Chapron,
Franay and remained in production until 1951.
Some 10 years ago she underwent a total nut and bolt body off restoration, by a fastidious enthusiast, at which time literally everything that could possibly be done was done.
Then forming part of his private collection until acquired by us.
Beautifully finished in Deep Maroon and Burgundy complimented by finely hand painted Silver coach lining and her pontoon-style front wings, she is stunning to say the least. Her interior being
trimmed in biscuit hide with fully lined matching Mohair hood and contrasting maroon carpets.
A stunning car in both looks and performance with a rakish and streamlined appearance.
We have now undertaken a full and extensive re-commissioning and service. This fantastic, very rare, collectable car is now ready for extensive touring and is sensibly priced.

£42,500
1951 “Special Bodied” Bentley MKVI with all aluminium coachwork by Freestone & Webb.
Only 18 of this unique design were produced by this well known coachbuilder. This particular example being number 12. Being a special order with many extras including, wind down front
seats to the base giving more leg room and extra space for the man with a bit of a belly! Plus coffee tables to the rear, full length sunroof, single lever push down windows to the front, electric
windows to the rear, original sheepskin rugs to the rear, original tool kit in excellent condition, original handbooks, manuals, full extensive service history and regularly serviced by well known
Bentley specialists. The last owner being an RREC member, having owned her for 14 years In the late 90’s the engine was totally rebuilt including a re bore, all new pistons and new clutch. In
2013 new tyres fitted and in 2016 a new exhaust system was fitted. A beautifully original un messed about with car in every respect and retaining a lovely patina both inside and out. Finished in
her original livery of Masons Black and Brewster Green with contrasting interior.

SKODA FOR VALUE

Back in 1977, Skoda issued a fold-out brochure featuring each
version of its new Estelle, a line-up that provided cut-price
competition for other East European brands (like Lada and
Polski-Fiat) as well as various basic models from mainstream
manufacturers. Providing particularly good value was the Estelle
105L shown here, sharing the same 1046cc rear-mounted engine
as the entry-level 105S but with a few more creature comforts on
board – including alloy wheels and some extra trim.
At the time that this brochure was published, the Estelle
105L bore a list price of just £1625, making it marginally more
expensive than the Citroen 2CV (at £1579) but usefully cheaper
than the Citroen Dyane (£1737), Lada 1200 (£1760), Mini 850
(£1795), Renault 4L (£1836) and Polski-Fiat 125P (£1849).
The Skoda might have been slower than some of those (its top
speed was 81mph, with 0-60mph in a claimed 23 seconds),
and had arguably the worst handling of the lot, but there was no
knocking its impressive value for money.

OPEN-TOP OFF-ROADER
Although Jaguar Land Rover would
like you to believe that its Range
Rover Evoque Convertible is unique
for being an open-topped SUV, the
concept actually dates back much
further. In fact, the very first Land
Rover (and Willys Jeep, of course) was
an open vehicle. And by the time the
SUV market had become trendy and
lifestyle-led in the 1980s, open-topped
models weren’t unusual.
You could obviously buy soft-top
versions of the Suzuki SJ and Vitara,
but further upmarket there was also
a convertible version of the first-
generation Mitsubishi Pajero (better
known in the UK as the Shogun). This
Japanese-market brochure emphasised
the lifestyle aspect of this ragtop 4x4,
with plenty of fun on the beach for the
two young women in the photographs...

VW’S SIX-MODEL
LINE-UP
Volkswagen offered an
extensive range of UK-spec
models when it issued this
brochure in January 1980,
although it just pre-dated
the arrival of the Golf-based
Jetta saloon. The line-up at
the very start of the ’Eighties
comprised the Polo, Derby,
Golf, Scirocco, Passat and
Passat Estate, which meant
that most sectors of the
family car market were
covered – as well as the
coupe sector.
The Polo was described
as VW’s ‘shortest and most

economical model’,
while its booted version – SLEEK NEW S-CLASS
the Derby – was aimed at New for the 1980 model year was the latest S-Class

DAGENHAM-BUILT MAZDA
Mazda’s launch of its new 121 supermini in
1996 marked an interesting development
for the Japanese brand, as its latest small
hatchback was nothing more than a re-badged
Fiesta – and was even built by Ford at its
Dagenham plant. The Fiesta had been launched
in MkIV guise the previous year, and Mazda
(which had Ford as a 33.4% shareholder at the
time) saw an opportunity to have its own version
for European customers.
This launch-year brochure boasted that the
UK-built 121 offered ‘exceptionally high levels
of standard specification, including power
steering throughout the range’. Crucially, the
Mazda also came with a three-year (60,000-
mile) warranty at a time when Ford offered
just twelve months of cover. And yet the
121 remained a fairly rare sight in the UK,
drastically outsold by the all-conquering Fiesta.
