1970s Ford RS Collection (RS00002)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
Since 1970, the RS badge has adorned the ultimate fast Fords, cars that have won in motor sport the world over and created an enduring legend of success that proved the old adage, win on Sunday sell on Monday.
RS was first seen on the 1968 Ford Taunus 15M Rallye Sport, a front-wheel-drive 2-door saloon or coupé with a 90bhp 1699cc V4. However, the legend really began in 1970 when the Capri RS2600 and Escort RS1600 were launched; both won, prodigiously, and cemented RS in the public consciousness as Ford’s glamorous symbol of speed and success. Here we celebrate four generations of RS Escort, the cars with which the magic initials, RS, became synonymous.

Sporting Triumph Collection - Stag - Spitfire - TR6 (TC00004)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
Post-war, Triumph had become moribund when, in 1945, their Coventry neighbour Standard purchased them to utilize their pre-war reputation for fine sporting and luxury cars. Standard-Triumph, as they later became, launched the TR2 in 1953 to immediate sales and motorsport success. Subsequent TR models evolved until the last 'separate-chassis' TR6, was produced in 1976. The smaller 1962 Herald-based Spitfire emulated that success until production ceased in 1980, while the beautiful 1970 Stag was a car with the panache and performance needed to succeed in the luxury GT market. These models reflect the three families of sporting car emerging from Triumph's Canley factory during an era when the company were triumphant on road and track. Triumph Spitfire Mk3. Damson. Brochure Car. The Spitfire modelled was featured in the 1970 model year 8-page colour brochure. In it an attractive young couple are seen in various poses with the car, which is parked in woodland surrounding a lake, or on one page, a racetrack.
The Mk3 had been launched in early 1967 and featured a larger 1296cc engine and a raised front bumper, re-positioned in order to pass US bumper-height regulations. However, for 1970 a range of mainly cosmetic changes were made which, as the brochure exclaimed, included a "black-for-drama grille and windscreen surround", "flat-spoke steering wheel" and "new wide 4.5J rims". This brochure was only used for one year as the MkIV was launched in 1971. The Spitfire was based on the Triumph Herald, launched in 1959, which eschewed then fashionable monocoque construction in favour of a separate chassis because industrial circumstances made it almost impossible for Triumph to source a monocoque bodyshell. Their engineers, however, made a virtue of this, developing several different versions, which would have been more difficult to make had it not been constructed on a chassis. With the TR3 proving both popular and profitable, producing a smaller sports car from the Herald's components to compete with the Austin Healey Sprite was a logical step. The resulting Spitfire styled, like the Herald, by Italian Giovanni Michelotti, debuted to great acclaim in 1962 and ceased production in 1980, by which time 314,342 had been produced. Engine: 1296cc 4IL OHV Power:75bhp@6000rpm Torque:75lb.ft@4000rpm 0-60 mph: 14.5 seconds Maximum speed: 95mph Kerb Weight: 1652lbs Triumph TR6 Pi. Royal Blue The TR6 modelled is one of the first 250 made and so has 'Rostyle-look' wheel covers and the desirable 150bhp fuel injected engine. It was built on 27th January 1969 and despatched to Douglas Garage Limited, Northampton, on April 10th and registered there. However, the car's first owner lived in Greater London and it remained in that area with its first nine owners. The engine was run below the minimum oil level in 1983 and damaged so a USA specification carburettor-fed engine was fitted but the original engine remained with the car. The current owner, Northampton-based Steve Denton, bought it in July 2009 and initially started using it as it was in roadworthy condition. Steve, a trained mechanic, bought the car because the body and paint were good and he knew he could address the car's mechanical maladies. He rebuilt and refitted the original engine in 2010 and reinstated the Lucas Petrol Injection, adding a modern Bosch pump for reliability. To make the car suitable for modern roads he also fitted an overdrive gearbox; an option when new that wasn't specified. In 2012 he retrimmed the poor condition interior in the correct shadow blue and fitted a new dashboard.
Over the winter of 2017/18 he replaced the often repaired chassis with a new CTM Engineering unit, and fitted polybushes while rebuilding the suspension. The result is a smart reliable TR6 that often features on his eponymous YouTube channel.

When announced in 1970 the Triumph Stag had everything, a mellifluous 3-litre V8 engine, film star looks by Italian styling legend Michelotti, a beautifully appointed cabin, hard or soft tops and a starring role in a James Bond film. Parent company British Leyland were troubled though, and the Stag entered the market with an engine issue which, although it was relatively easy to solve, led to it acquiring a reputation for overheating in both the UK and its target market, the USA. It was discontinued in 1977 after 25,939 had been produced. It has, however, come of age as a classic, and has both a very high survival rate and a thriving owners club.
The Stag modelled has a manual overdrive gearbox and was built at Triumph's Canley factory in Coventry on June 1st 1974. It was registered in West Riding, Yorkshire, shortly afterwards and spent its first few years in that area. It had a reconditioned engine and gearbox in 1989 and was bought in 1991 by Mr N. Chopra, an auto spares retailer in Bedworth, Stoke-on-Trent, from Stuart Marshment. He carried out a body restoration between 1992 and 1998, but only kept the car until 2003. Its next owner, Steve Bennett, then had the engine totally rebuilt in 2004. Current owners, Kent-based Cliff and Catherine Nay, bought it in July 2019 from dealers Stone Cold Classics, and enjoy using this very attractive and cherished Stag regularly.

Ford Anglia 105E DeLuxe, Pompadour Blue & Shark Blue (VA00132)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Anglia modelled was supplied new by W. Harold Perry Ltd, Ford dealers in Westcliffe-on-Sea, Essex, on June 1st 1960. The first owner, D. M. Smith Esq, paid £652, 2 shillings and 1 penny for the car which included the optional extras of whitewall tyres and a heater. Current owner James Gardner from Kendal, South Cumbria, acquired the car in 2012 from the Classic and Sportscar Centre, Malton, in Yorkshire. Although it was basically in very good restored condition, and showing a low mileage of only 39,000 which is believed genuine, James has had the engine rebuilt and fitted a replacement MacPherson strut on the offside front suspension because it was badly bent.
The Ford Anglia was launched in 1959, the same year as the much more avant-garde Mini, but was a wholly different take on the small economical car, being a conventionally engineered front-engined rear-wheel-drive package. Its styling, however, was very influenced by Ford's larger Detroit-designed American market cars and that infamous reverse-rake rear window was the work of American stylist Elmwood Engel. Crucially it sold well, and profitably, for Ford who did not produce a small front-wheel-drive car along the Mini's lines until the Fiesta was launched in 1976. The Anglia's new free-revving overhead-valve 'Kent' engine began a family of 'over-square' power units which, much modified as the 'Crossflow' and then subsequently 'Valencia', would endure into the early 21st century and gain numerous competition victories.

Triumph Herald 1200, Monmouthshire Constabulary
Monmouthshire Constabulary, which became part of Gwent Constabulary on April 1st, 1967, were early adopters of the then experimental Unit Beat Policing (UBP) methods being trialled in the early 1960s. The concept took constables off the 'beat' and into 'panda cars', allowing them to cover much larger areas and still walk a beat to meet the public. However, the advent of radios meant the UBP cars were constantly responding to calls and the beat concept gradually faded away. This car was one of six Heralds bought in September 1966 purely for UBP work, a task the reliable tight-turning Herald was ideal for. They were not fitted with blue lights or sirens in this role.
During the late 1950s, as traffic density increased and radio technology improved, the government and police started to look at different methods of policing both beat patrols and traffic management. The first 'Z' car-style policing experiments were done in Kirkby, near Liverpool, in 1959 and entailed replacing beat policemen with uniformed two-man police patrols in cars. The term 'Z car' was coined by Colonel Eric St Johnstone, then Chief constable of Lancashire, during this trial and eventually became the title of a long running BBC TV series on which St Johnstone acted as technical advisor. These experiments led to the UK officially introducing Unit Beat Policing in December 1966. Some forces resisted initially but it had become almost universal by the end of 1968.

VW Beetle, Coral Oval Rear Window Saloon (VA01207)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Volkswagen Beetle entered the record books as the bestselling single-model car of all time on February 17th 1972 when production reached 15,007,034 units, eclipsing the Ford Model T. When production finally ceased on July 30th 2003, Volkswagen had produced a total 21,529,464 and it’s unlikely this record will be eclipsed as cars now rarely remain in production longer than 10 years. It was developed by Ferdinand Porsche in the mid 1930s and was heavily influenced by the then modern design thinking about economy cars espoused by Hans Ledwinka of Tatra and others. The result was a rear-engined air-cooled saloon which was rugged, simple and reliable in any sort of extreme weather conditions.

Although Volkswagen's legendary advertising campaign for the US market highlighted the fact that the Beetle did not change year-on-year, making it easier to source parts, it did develop over the years because of both market pressure and legislative changes. The first obvious visual change was in 1953 when the vision-limiting 'split' rear-window was replaced by a one-piece oval design, which lasted until August 1957 before being superseded by an even larger rear-window. The example modelled was one of the last 'oval' window cars, which was registered in London in June 1957. Current owner, Robin Allen from Hampshire, had it professionally refurbished in 1990 and it remains in excellent condition whilst retaining its original engine.

The Austin Seven modelled was built at Longbridge on April 11th 1960 as a special order for Irene Waite, née Austin, eldest daughter of Lord Herbert Austin. It was fitted with a fresh-air heater, which at that time was for export market orders only. On April 28th it was sent to another section of the BMC empire, coachbuilder Vanden Plas in Kingsbury to be painted metallic blue over the original white, trimmed in VM3230 grey hide and Evlan Birstall VDP C2 grey carpet. This was done to match the Vanden Plas Princess IV DS7 A135 Limousine owned by Irene's husband, Arthur Waite, a BMC director who'd joined his father-in-law's company after the Great War.

Mini Cooper S Mk1, Tartan Red & Black (VA02539)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Cooper S modelled appears on the cover of the book, 'Original Mini Cooper and Cooper S. The Restorer's Guide.' by John Parnell; a volume regarded as essential by both professional restorers and enthusiasts alike. It was restored to a very high standard in 1988/89 by Mini expert Nick Rogers, proprietor of well known Sheffield-based specialist Minibitz (now renamed Min-e-Bitz) who used as many new-old-stock BMC parts as he could find including a super-rare Mk1 heated-rear-window, as he intended to keep the car. When Nick purchased the car it had been dismantled, somewhat unsympathetically, and damaged as a result, but he was careful to restore to as original a specification as he could.
The BMC Mini gradually evolved throughout its 41 year production life as the mechanical specification was changed to make it easier to produce and more reliable. However, the Mk2 facelift of October 1967 was the first really big change and featured a new eight-slat alloy radiator grille, larger rear-window, bigger (thus safer) rear light clusters, different interior trim, redesigned instrumentation and new badges. Many of these changes lasted until the Mini ceased production. Collectors often regard the late Mk1 Cooper as the ultimate expression of the original line and that's one of the reasons the Mk1 modelled is so collectable. It was registered in September 1967, making it one of the last Mk1 Cooper S production cars, and one of very few left.

Mini Cooper S Durham Constabulary (VA02540)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Cooper S modelled was a Durham Constabulary Traffic Car and was usually operated by a female crew of two. It was one of several Mini Cooper S vehicles on their fleet, as period photographs prove, but the car itself no longer exists. Mini Coopers were popular traffic cars in the North East as their size and spritely performance made them very agile in both the urban and countryside topography that makes up County Durham. Their front-wheel-drive configuration also provided good traction in harsh winter conditions on the North East's hills. They were rarely used for dual carriageway or motorway work though as Durham Traffic Police used more powerful Jaguar Mk2s in this role.
The Mini Cooper's potential as a police car was obvious immediately the 997cc model was introduced in 1961. However, it really came into its own in February 1964 when the 1275cc Cooper S version arrived. Its greater engine capacity meant extra torque so less performance was sacrificed when the vehicle was carrying the weight and aerodynamic penalties police traffic patrol cars incur when fully equipped. It became a popular vehicle in this role with police forces all over the UK, especially those in the North, and was used in a basically standard form except for the fitment of an alternator to handle the Police vehicles greater electrical load and often, but not in this car, motorsport derived twin fuel tanks to give greater range.

Ford 300E Thames Van - Gates Ford Dealers (VA03306)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
After the success of Ford's first European-designed monocoque bodyshell, the 1951 Consul/Zephyr, the company followed the same route with their next car, the smaller 100E, which came out in 1953. The following year it sired a van variant, the 300E, which remained in production until 1961. It was initially only offered as a 5cwt payload van, but a subsequent 7cwt version accounted for 57,618 of the 139,267 300Es produced; both offered 66-cubic-feet of load space. This example was first registered in Essex in 1961 and was restored by Frank G Gates Ltd in the late 1980s in the distinctive Purbeck Grey over Ambassador Blue livery they used from the 1920s to the 1960s. Frank G Gates Ltd, one of Ford's first UK Main Dealers, was established in 1920 by its eponymous founder and celebrate their centenary in 2020.
Although floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1959, the company returned to private ownership in 1996 and is still very much a family business, being owned currently by Frank's great-grandson, Mr. Heath Greenall, who is also Chairman & Managing Director. Although started from modest premises in Woodford, Essex, the Gates Group now consists of eight Ford dealerships throughout Essex, Hertfordshire and Middlesex, and the company had also built up an impressive collection of historic Fords. The 300E van is modelled here as it looked after being extensively restored in Gates' workshops for this collection.

Ford Consul Capri 335 (109E) - Lime Green & Ermine White (VA03407)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Capri modelled was first registered in September 1962, but little is known about its early history. It was extensively restored in 2010 by well known Ford Classic & Capri Owners Club member Dave Heath, who documented the restoration meticulously with over 900 photographs. He retained its original appearance and colours but fitted the 1498cc 78bhp engine and matching gearbox used in the rare Capri GT; quite a common modification as the engine was also fitted in the Cortina and Corsair GT, so it's relatively easy to obtain, fits correctly, and is both more powerful and more reliable.
It was purchased in 2013 by Ford enthusiast Graeme Farrar who enjoys using this rare car. The Capri 335 was a 2-door coupé version of the Consul Classic 315 or 109E range as it's often called. Both were supposed to have been launched in late 1959, less than a year after the 105E Anglia. However, the Anglia's unexpected sales success took up production capacity so the saloon was delayed until April 1961 and the coupé until September 1961. Ford, ever cost conscious, realised their forthcoming Cortina would render the delayed new car range obsolete, so produced the tooling for it in cheaper, short-life 'Kirksite'. Ford of Britain's first coupé, the 335 was known internally as 'Project Sunbird' and was intended to be marketed as the Ford Sunbird until company Chairman, Sir Patrick Hennessy, rechristened it Capri months before the launch.

Ford Lotus Cortina Mk2 Amber Gold Colin Chapmans Car (VA04119)
< Click here for more details >

During the 1960s, Colin Chapman’s rapidly expanding Lotus car company and F1 team enjoyed a fruitful partnership with Ford. The Lotus Cortina Mk1 won races in spectacular style and Chapman worked closely with Cosworth’s Keith Duckworth and Ford PR genius Walter Hayes to develop the DFV, the engine that would revolutionise F1 and which was initially designed for the Lotus 49 F1 car. Chapman was given a new Ford Cortina Lotus as a company car and that is the car modelled here. He kept it into the early 1970s, covering 14,233 miles, before it was put on display in the company’s museum until 1998.

< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Mk1 Granada was produced from 1972-1977 in both the UK and Germany with 123,368 being made in the UK alone. However, rust and banger racing has destroyed many and few survive, Ghias in this unusual but striking colour being especially rare.
First registered in October 1977, this Ghia’s early history is unknown but it was purchased as a complete and running car by Gary Davison from Ryhope in Sunderland on March 8th, 1997. Gary’s father Ian had run a Granada Coupé when he was growing up and he’d inherited an enthusiasm for V6 Mk1 Granadas.
Tragically, Gary passed away in 2006, aged just 37, because of a heart condition. Thus his son, the current owner Lewi Davison, inherited the car when he was just 11 years old.

Morris Oxford Series VI, Deep Pink (VA05408)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The British Motor Corporation was created in 1952 by the merger of long time competitors Austin and Morris leaving many towns with competing dealers franchised to sell only two or three of their now six marques. Chairman, Leonard Lord, devised the concept of 'badge-engineering' the 1959 1.5-litre Farina styled Austin A55 Mk2 Cambridge into five different versions (Austin Cambridge A55 MK2, Morris Oxford Series V, Wolseley 15/60, MG Magnette Mk3 and Riley 4/68) so every dealer had a vehicle to sell to their often brand-loyal customers. The whole range was updated and restyled in late 1961 and remained in production until 1971 by which time over a million of all types had been produced.
Sold new in late 1961 by Knavesmire Garage in York, 4771 DN is one of a small number of early Oxfords made in this distinctive hue with no mid-line chrome strip. It returned to the dealer as a used car in 1967 and was loaned to the garage's workshop-foreman, Bob Turner, for his family's summer holiday to Reighton Gap Caravan Park. His car-mad son, Steve, then 5, was impressed by the 'salmon pink' car, the first Oxford he'd ever travelled in, and has retained that youthful passion; becoming one of the UK's leading restorers of the type and Secretary of The Cambridge-Oxford Owners Club. Sadly it is believed 4771 DN was scrapped in the early 1970s and no other Deep Pink Oxfords survive.

Morris Minor 1000, Highway Yellow - 60th Anniversary Collection (VA05808)
< Click here for more details >

The Morris Minor was launched at the 1948 London Motor Show, Britain's first since the cessation of hostilities, alongside another legend the Jaguar XK120. In its original form it used a 918cc sidevalve engine and its headlights were mounted low in the grille. Foreign market legislation forced the lights up into pods on the wings in 1951 and then, when Morris Motors merged with Austin in 1952 to create BMC, the Minor received the Austin-designed 803cc A-Series engine. This was updated to create the 'single screen' Minor 1000 in 1956. The Minor was Alec Issigonis' first complete car design and possessed extremely surefooted handling which was many years ahead of its competitors.

Extensive government research into policing procedures led to 'Unit Beat Policing' (UBP) being rolled out across the UK during the late 1960s. Conceptually this was a big change as police officers, who had previously walked a 'beat' over a given time period, now drove between different areas walking for a while before driving to the next. This led to the introduction of the 'Panda Car', so named because it featured white panels on a blue car. These were usually small, economical cars such as the Minor. The example modelled was one of The Lothians and Peebles Constabulary's (L&PC) initial batch of twenty UBP cars, all Minors, supplied by Hall Brothers of Musselburgh.

Morris Minor 1000, Turquoise (VA05810)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Morris Minor had a remarkably long production life from 1948 until 1971 and was a great step forward in handling and comfort. It was the first complete car designed by the legendary Alec Issigonis (knighted in 1969) to enter production. Over the years it was available in at least 38 different colours, but this car’s ‘Turquoise BU6’ is rare because it was only offered between 1956 and 1959. This car was purchased by Mr Marchbank in 1985.
He started a restoration that included replacing rusty panels and reconditioning the engine but the car remained dismantled in his garage until January 2009 when a new owner took on the project and completed the rebuild in August 2010. The car was sold by South Western Vehicle Auctions in June 2017 to Morris Minor specialist Steve
Loder who’s done further restoration work on it.

Rover P6 3500 VIP, Brasilia - 60th Anniversary Collection (VA06519)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
In October 1963 Rover announced their compact 2000 model, often known colloquially by its codename P6. It was an all-new design featuring a unit-construction base skeleton covered by bolt-on body panels, independent front suspension using horizontal coil springs, de Dion rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, giving it class-leading dynamics. Its radical exterior and interior styling was by David Bache and its pioneering passenger safety-cell contributed to it becoming the first ever 'European Car of The Year' in 1964. Rover's General-Motors derived all-aluminium V8 was offered as a more powerful option in April 1968, finally giving the P6 the power its chassis had always warranted. Production of the P6 ceased in 1977.

Sunbeam Alpine Quartz Blue Metallic (VA07007)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
This Series 2 model was painted in a slightly later Series 3 colour, quartz blue. It was owned from 1972-1975 by Edinburgh-based Kenneth Scott and he remembers that, although areas underneath showed it had originally been green, it had been painted very professionally and comprehensively. This has led Alpine enthusiasts to speculate it was done by the Rootes development department in order to see what an Alpine would look like in their new colour. Alternatively it could have been sprayed by the Edinburgh dealership it was dispatched to as a special order for a favoured customer. This would explain why the hardtop, usually in a contrasting shade, was the same colour.

Ford Escort Mk1 Twincam, Blue Mink (VA09524) Believed to be last one in stock.
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
Ford advertised the Twin-Cam using the slogan, ‘Any colour as long as its white’, which was an ironic Model T reference. All were built near Liverpool in Ford’s Halewood factory alongside less exotic Escorts and the single colour policy was instigated to minimise factory disruption.
Oddly, export market CKD kits were made in other colours but the car modelled is the only non-white UK market example. It was first registered on November 20th, 1968 to Mr Howard F. Colling of Ardleigh Green, Hornchurch, Essex, probably through local dealer Dagenham Motors. It’s not known whether he specifically ordered Blue Mink, then a current Ford colour, or whether it was produced because of a factory error.

< Click here for less details >
Ford Escort Mk1 RS2000 Daytona Yellow The RS2000 was the last MK1 RS Escort to be announced and was created by fitting the Mk3 Cortina’s SOHC 2-litre engine into the smaller, more nimble Escort. It was ideally suited to both Group-1 motorsport or spirited road use and in standard guise was not much slower than the more expensive and complex Cosworth BDA engined RS1600. It was unveiled on July 4th 1973 and 5,334 were produced in only eighteen months, 3,759 of which were for the UK. The RS2000 modelled was first registered on October 18th 1974 by Finchley-based Ford dealers W. Harold Perry, Ford’s main London dealer from 1912, and retained by them until March 1975 as a demonstration car.

Vauxhall Cavalier Mk2 SRi 130, Platinum (VA09809)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
Vauxhall got ahead of Ford by launching their fresh new front-wheel-drive 'J-car', as it was known internally, in Autumn 1981 when Ford's new Sierra was still almost a year away. It was an immediate sales hit, being handsome, robust, reliable and great to drive. Vauxhall pulled the rug from under Ford again by announcing the injected 1.8-litre SRi in 1982 and suddenly every sales rep Europe wide had a new purpose in life, to own an SRi. Its lightweight but strong and discreetly aerodynamic bodyshell made the best use of the new engine's power and allowed this genuinely rapid saloon to be fairly economical while alloy wheels, spoilers, graphics and bucket-seats provided showroom appeal.
The 2-litre SRi 130 was introduced in 1987 and has become a cult classic today. The example modelled was originally owned by Len Balls, Service Manager at Cowies Vauxhall in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, where it was originally registered on 6th August 1987. He serviced it meticulously for fifteen years then sold it to an enthusiast who dry-stored it for three years. Current owner, Cleethorpes-based Mk2cav.com member Darren Cox, bought it in 2005 and in October 2006 embarked on a detailed restoration to a better than new standard using as many original components as possible. The finished car, known amongst his family as 'Champers' because of its champagne colour, has still only covered 55,000 miles and is considered to be one of the UK's best.

Triumph Stag Mk2 - Sapphire Blue (VA10112)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Stag modelled was purchased from BL Dealers F.W. Warwick and Son, Petersfield, Hampshire, on June 12th 1974, by David Ford, from Hayling Island. It cost £3146.56, including a £41.45 laminated windscreen and a whopping £292.98 for a Radio-Mobile 108SR cartridge 8-track player. He had major engine repairs carried out on the car in 1980, which resulted in a court case with the garage concerned; correspondence in which Ford stated "car worse than before" has remained with the car. Stag specialist Clive Tate did a full engine rebuild in 1990, after it had blown up while Ford was holidaying in Wales.
He obviously loved the car though, as he kept it until July 2011. David Ford had the body restored in 1994 at a cost of £4300, and second owner, Peter Harper, carried out more restoration work including having the seats retrimmed in the original shadow blue Ambla vinyl, a new blue hood, and new stainless steel bumpers. However, he only kept it 18 months before current custodians, Cambridgeshire-based David Currington and Helen Field, purchased it in December 2012. It's now covered just over 90,000 miles and, having been well looked after, is a very good but usable example. David and Helen have had the hard-top resprayed and the manual-overdrive gearbox rebuilt after reverse gear sheared off. They are enthusiastic members of the Stag Owners Club, attending events regularly, and enjoy using the car all year round.

Ford Cortina Mk3 200GT Marine Blue (VA10318)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The car modelled was purchased from Tildesley Ford, Walsall, for £1250 on August 1st 1973 by a then 25 year old engineering company MD, Ivor Grange. He bought it off the showroom floor, pleasing salesmen who’d nicknamed this colour ‘doom blue’; yellow or orange being the fashion. Unusually, it had been built with black cloth seats but he requested two dealer-fit extras, a vinyl roof and Dinitrol rust-proofing. He drove it for 10 years, 56,000 miles, before putting it in his garage for restoration. In 2007 Ivor sold it, untouched, to Midlands-based enthusiast Mark Rogers who totally restored the car and was delighted that Ivor was able to join him displaying the car in the 2017 NEC Classic Car Show’s Pride of Ownership competition.

Ford Cortina Mk3 GXL Onyx Green (VA10319)
< Click here for more details >

The Mk3 Cortina range was launched in 1970 and was a new car both structurally and mechanically. It marked the European debut of the 1.6 and 2.0-litre belt-driven SOHC family of engines that would go on to power a plethora of Ford models through the 1970s and early 1980s. The attractive Coke-bottle styling gave the impression of a larger car but it was actually the same length as the Mk2, although the wheelbase was 3.5” longer and the car was 2” wider.
The GXL was top of the range and was easily distinguishable on the road by its quad-headlamps, sports wheels and vinyl roof.

Hillman Avenger 1.6DL, "Sunseeker" Special Edition, Orange Blossom (VA10409)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
Hillman launched the DeLuxe 2 and 4-door Sunseeker editions using the phrase, 'The Special Avengers for '74'. It was only offered in two shades of orange, the lighter 'Orange Blossom' on the 4-door and a darker shade called ‘Apricot' on the 2-door. Both featured three quarter white vinyl roofs, sports wheels, uniquely patterned black upholstery on reclining seats, coachline, reversing lights, side repeater flashers, push-button radio, facia vents, and what was referred to in the brochure as 'lush carpeting'. Even the water temperature gauge was trumpeted as an extra feature... The 4-door was equipped with 4-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission as standard while the 2-door was a manual. Both had disc front brakes.
The Sunseeker modelled is a uniquely well preserved original car that has covered less than 3000 miles from new. It was originally sold by Rootes/Chrysler dealer Thompsons of Dereham, Norfolk, on 1st August 1974, to Mr E.J. Richardson of Swaffam, Norfolk, and was corrosion protected by 'Endrust'. Mr Richardson taxed the car for a year that day, which cost £25, and the car has not been taxed since. Its running-in service was completed in September 1974 and is the only stamp in the service book as the car was put into storage in 1975. It is now owned by a private collector and is still in absolutely as new 'time-warp' condition, complete and perfect to the last detail, including all its original paperwork.

The MGB modelled was registered in January 1974 and is presented as it was when new. However, it’s led an interesting life. When only eight years old, after being damaged, it was partially rebuilt by MG Specialists Chatham’s in Braintree, Essex, and returned to almost as-new condition.
Since then it’s been well cared for by a number of owners as the car’s substantial history file proves, before being purchased in 2013 by the current owner, David Trotter, who is based in the French Alps. He sent the car to well-known MG specialist Oselli, who fitted one of their fast-road 1950cc engines, converted it to left-hand-drive, and carried out various other works to improve it.

This Capri was purchased new from Ford agents M&M Services in Eastriggs, South West Scotland, by David Mulholland who’d originally attempted to order a Capri from a Ford dealer in Dumfries. Unhappy with their response he found that M&M had one in their showroom, bought it, and requested the number plate XSW 24W because he was then a truck driver with the CB handle ‘24V’.
He used the car for five years and it had two further keepers before being purchased in 1996 by the current owner, Cumbriabased Malcolm Rolland, for £700 without an MOT. It had covered 74,000 miles. He used it for four years, then embarked on an epic nine-year restoration. The result, after over 3600 hours in the garage, is one of the best Capris in the UK.

Ford Capri Mk3 2.8i Special - Diamond White (VA10819)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Capri modelled was purchased from Ford dealers KT Group of Erith, Dartford, Kent, on June 30th 1987. Its first owner, a lady from Dagenham, used the car sparingly and sold it after less than a year to a new owner who also only used it rarely. Third owner Stewart Graham, from Bedfordshire, bought it on December 9th, 1990, at which point it had covered less than 8000 miles. Stewart kept the car for nearly 24 years, looking after it meticulously before selling it in late 2013, after careful consideration that it was going to a good home, to Nottinghamshire-based Ford enthusiast Wayne Christian. At this point it had covered less than 28,000 miles.
This remarkably original example has become well known within the Capri world and has been exhibited at the NEC Classic Car Show. It is considered one of the best and most original examples of its type, having had only routine maintenance throughout its life. Even the paint is 100% original. Left-hand-drive Capri production ceased in late 1984 but strong UK demand meant the right-hand-drive, UK market only, Capri 2.8i Special was announced at the London Motor Show in October 1984 and produced until 1986. It featured leather facings for the Recaro seat's side-bolsters, gear-lever, steering wheel and trim panels. It also boasted a colour-codedgrille and headlamp surrounds, 7-spoke RS alloy wheels wearing 205/60-13 tyres, a 5-speed gearbox and a limited-slip differential.

< Click here for less details >
Ford Capri Mk3 3.0S Graphite Grey The Capri Mk2 of 1974 revised the successful 1969 Mk1 by adding a useful hatchback while retaining the sports coupe’s attractive basic outline. The Mk3, launched in March 1978, brought in many detail upgrades the most obvious of which were the partially shrouded twin-headlamps, front-spoiler, wrap-around bumpers and slatted grille. These, combined with the rear-spoiler, lowered the drag coefficient to 0.374, a reduction of 12.6%, and improved both high-speed stability and fuel economy. This made an attractive showroom package and remained in production at Ford’s Cologne plant until December 19th, 1986, by which time 324,045 Capri Mk3s of all types had been produced.

The V6 Capris are often regarded as the most desirable models in the Capri range but many enthusiasts regard the 2.0S as equally desirable, especially if the 2-litre SOHC engine has been tuned. The smaller engine created a less nose-heavy car that was 188kgs lighter overall and, when fitted with the more responsive S suspension package, was a very appealing driver’s car. It was only one second slower to 60mph than the V6 but also considerably more economical. The Mk3 2.0S also featured a rear spoiler and an integrated front-apron spoiler which reduced lift by 7% and drag by 6%.

Ford Escort Mk3 XR3i - Durham Constabulary (VA11012)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The XR3i modelled was based at Darlington Police Station from 1983 under the call sign M10D, or more usually 'Mike 10'. It was used by 'Traffic' and was one of two XR3is employed by the Constabulary in this role during that period with the other, A277 BJR, being based at Peterlee; both were later replaced by Astra GTEs. The XR3i was an ideal urban traffic car because it was relatively small and nimble but genuinely fast enough to carry out all the tasks demanded by this role. It was thus a formidable weapon in the fight against car crime although, ironically, XR3is were one of the most commonly stolen cars of that era...
The XR3i was used in this role by Merseyside, Durham, Dorset, and Cambridgeshire, but other forces adopted hot hatches for similar duties. With impressive grip and vice-free front-wheel-drive handling, honed by F1 Champion Jackie Stewart, a 0-60 time of 8.6 seconds and a maximum speed of 116mph it could keep up with far more exotic cars in any real-world situation. It could, however, still carry the equipment that the job by then demanded and have two passengers in the back if needed. The UK police started using small performance saloons in the early 1960s, with the Mini Cooper pioneering this role, although other rally and race-bred saloons quickly followed with the Lotus Cortina, Escort Mexico and Escort RS2000 being popular.

Ford Escort Mk3 RS1600i Graphite Grey (VA11013)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The 1600i model was purchased new by Mr C. Finch from his local Ford dealer, Spruce Howlett & Co Ltd, Norwich. He kept it until July 1984 and thereafter it remained in Norfolk, initially in Great Yarmouth. It was purchased in January 1990 by a Mr M. Jarvis, at which point it had covered just over 30,000 miles. Mr Jarvis ran a car body shop and although the car had, unusually, escaped being modified, he was unhappy with the paint finish so, in 1998, he totally stripped and repainted it to make it absolutely perfect. He cherished this rare RS, and kept it until 2014, by which time it had covered 51,000 miles.
Current owner, County Kerry, Ireland-based Billy O'Sullivan is a member of the Roughty Valley Vintage Club and acquired the RS1600i in 2014 from well known dealer Appreciating Classics, Norfolk. He is a Mk3 Escort enthusiast and collector and has had the car examined and serviced by Escort specialist, and well known rally driver, Adrian Randles of RMK Randles Motors Kerry. The first job was to have the still immaculate paintwork ceramic coated to preserve it. Since then, the car has been used sparingly but regularly for classic car runs and shows. Only 8,659 examples of the RS1600i were produced and many were modified for motorsport. However, this totally standard car has still only covered 52,000 miles and is considered one of the best remaining.

Land Rover Series 1 80" "RAC" Road Services Vehicle (VA11116) Believed to be last one in stock.
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Royal Automobile Club (RAC) was founded in 1897 by Frederick Richard Simms to 'promote the car's place in society'. They introduced uniformed patrols in 1901, were awarded royal title by King Edward VII in 1907, and opened their first emergency telephone boxes in 1912. The RAC used Land-Rovers but the vehicle modelled is a replica created by Series 1 enthusiast Jason Allcock. He restored it as an RAC Service Vehicle in 2012 because he'd previously owned a genuine RAC 107" example and liked the livery. Jason did all the work himself, except the signwriting and blasting, so was pleased to win 'Best New Restoration' at the 2012 Land-Rover Series One Club's annual rally..

Land Rover Series 1 80" - Poppy Red (VA11118)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
It became clear almost immediately after the Land-Rover's launch in 1948 that it could be used in a far greater number of roles than Rover had initially envisaged. The vehicle modelled is the first Land-Rover built for the fire service, and thus the first to leave the Solihull works painted red instead of green. It was actually the first of a batch of four dispatched in February 1949 to the Derbyshire Fire Service, all of which were handed over to Derbyshire's Divisional Fire officer at the same time.
They were among the last vehicles made using the R86 1948 model-year numbering sequence, before production of the subtly different 1949 model-year vehicles commenced. Other than the red paint they were all standard vehicles and were used to transport equipment and personnel around Derbyshire, a region where off-road capability is important because of the topography. All four were painted green to be sold off in the mid 1960s and the current owners, North Yorkshire-based Robert and Rachel Sargeant, spotted the vehicle on eBay in 2010. It was by then painted blue and had been off the road for 35 years but, although in very poor condition, it was complete and unmodified. The Sargeants embarked on a total restoration to return it to its original condition and livery that took 570 hours of work but was finished in time for the Series One Club's rally in June 2012.

A40 Farina Mk1 'Alf', 1960 Monte Carlo Rally, Winner: Coupe des Dames, Pat Moss & Ann Wisdom. Pat Moss and Ann Wisdom's winning of the Coupe des Dames, or 'Ladies Prize', on the 1959 Monte Carlo Rally had been well publicised and BMC thus entered the pair in the 1960 Monte, always the season opening event in January, driving a similar A40. The little 1-litre A40 was one of Pat's favourite cars because it handled well, was the right size for rallying, responded well to tuning and the driving position suited her stature. BMC Competitions Department at Abingdon, where both Pat and 'Wiz' were very popular with the mechanics, built a new example for this event, 947 AOF, which Pat, who nearly always named her cars, immediately christened 'Alf'.

Ford Cortina Mk4 2.3S - Signal Amber (VA11914)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The more sporting S specification Cortina was popular with customers who wanted the stiffer suspension and improved handling it offered. However, the vast majority of the nearly 3000 S specification cars built were the 4-cylinder 2.0S, as the 'Cologne' V6 engined 2.3-litre version tended to be ordered with an automatic gearbox in the more comfort-orientated Ghia specification. The 2.3S modelled, which has a manual 4-speed gearbox, is therefore one of only 476 produced at Dagenham for the UK market, one of only two remaining and the only currently roadworthy example.
Built in June 1978, and registered on July 3rd, it also features the extremely rare 'Orange Cadiz' upholstery instead of the more common grey. The previous owner, a Cortina enthusiast, enjoyed it for almost two decades but wanted to sell it to someone who would restore it. In August 2017 the current owner, Cambridgeshire-based aircraft engineer Simon Hoar, was able to persuade him that he was the man for the job. Simon had grown up with his dad's Mk4 Ghia, and loved it, but had rolled that car and written it off when aged 17. Thus, he initially bought the 2.3S to restore and give to his dad, Richard, to repay that long-standing debt. However, Richard found out, ended up helping, and the pair now share the matching-numbers car. Their concours standard complete restoration was finished in April 2018 and won Classic Ford Magazine's 'Restoration of the Year'.

Ford Cortina Mk4 Orange (VA11915)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Mk4 Cortina was based on the existing Mk3 platform but sported a totally new body, which was crisper and less American influenced than the Mk3 had been. It was styled under the leadership of Uwe Bahnsen at Ford in Germany and was now almost fully integrated with the European Taunus range. A 2.3-litre V6 model was made in relatively small numbers but the 2-litre 4-cylinder Ghia was the defacto top model for economy minded company car users and was luxuriously equipped for its era, featuring a wood-veneer dashboard and door cappings, extra sound deadening, a vinyl roof, cut-pile carpet and luxury cloth seats.

Subaru Impreza WRX STi Ver. II Pure Sports Sedan - Sports Blue (VA12107)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
Subaru Impreza WRX Type RA STi V.II 555 Pure Sports Sedan. Sports Blue. The fantastic sales success off the first STi was a surprise to Subaru, although in hindsight it's hard to see why. However, on 22nd August 1995, only sixteen months after the first generation had been announced, they launched the STi Version II to meet this demand. Unlike the first it was built in Subaru's main production facility at Yajima, solving the volume problems associated with hand building the original in STi's smaller Mitaka plant. The V.II range included the limited edition Impreza 555, of which 500 'Sedans' and 100 'Wagons' would be built, with Sports Blue paint, a central roof-vent (sedan only), gold 16 inch Speedline Electra wheels and an optional dealer-applied sticker package.
The 555 V.II STi was only sold on the Japanese domestic market, or JDM as it's often called, but the example modelled was brought to the UK in 2008. Since 2013 its been owned by Wales-based Subaru enthusiast Dale Webb, who, after thoroughly overhauling it shortly after purchase, was pleased to find it was as original and sound as he'd thought when buying it. He's used it sparingly but regularly ever since, attending events organised through the Subaru forum www.type-ra.com, of which he's an active member, and enjoying its prodigious performance on track when he can. He's added a Prodrive suspension kit and exhaust, but has otherwise kept it original including the shorter final-drive of 4.111:1 that all STi V.II cars used.

Apollo Green The 1977 Mk2 Granada was based on the underpinnings of the Mk1 but Ford put a great deal effort into both the refinement of the car and its aerodynamics. The result was a luxury express which, in top of the range Ghia trim, offered serious competition to the premium luxury brands but was, in the Ford tradition, still simple and economical to service and maintain. All European market Granadas were built in Cologne, Germany, and featured the German-designed 2.8-litre V6 in place of the Mk1’s 3-litre ‘Essex’ engine. The Mk2 Granada remained on sale until 1985, by which

Ford Fiesta Mk1 "Festival" Prairie Yellow (VA12509)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The 'Fiesta Festival' was a Special Edition model, launched in 1980, which was based on either the 950cc or 1100cc models and featured prominent side-stripes and Festival badging on the tailgate. Dinkar Jhalera from Buckinghamshire purchased his Fiesta Festival new in October 1980 from Ford main dealers Godfrey Davies of Neasden, London, and has kept the car, which has now covered approximately 75,000 miles. He had it rust-proofed by Ziebart immediately after purchase and, as per the firm's warranty conditions, Zeibart steam cleaned and reapplied their antirust treatment every two years until their 10 year anti-corrosion guarantee expired. As a result the car has remained in very good original condition.
The Fiesta Festival Special Edition was only available in 7 colours and only one option was offered, the wonderfully titled 'Convenience Option Pack' featuring a removable rear parcel shelf, head restraints and Ford pushbutton (p21) MW/LW radio. This was not fitted to the car modelled. The 950cc version modelled cost £3250 of which £217.39 was car tax and £423.91 VAT, while the 13bhp more powerful 1100cc model cost £3424.61. However, twin door-mirrors, electric washers, intermittent windscreen wipe, rim embellishers, bright bolt caps, a rear wash-wipe and the distinctive side and rear decals were standard on all Fiesta Festivals. Buyers could choose either Bitter Chocolate, Tan, or Indian Red 'York' cloth trim on the centre inserts of the car's 5-position rake adjustable front seats.

< Click here for less details >
Ford purchased Italian coachbuilders Carrozzeria Ghia SpA in 1970. Initially Ghia worked on future Ford designs and concept cars but in the early seventies the Ghia name was transformed into the company’s most luxurious trim level on both European and American Fords. The Escort Mk2 Ghia featured more sumptuous cloth upholstery, wooden trim on the dashboard, distinctive square headlights, bright side mouldings, a Ghia crest on the lower part of the front wings and a vinyl roof. The majority of Ghias built were 4-doors, so 2-door examples are now rare because many of the small number produced have been converted for motor sport use.

Ford Escort Mk2 RS Mexico Black (VA12619)

The Mexico nameplate survived into the Escort MkII range but the car lost the 1600 crossflow OHV engine that had been so crucial in securing victory on the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally and been such a huge part of the subsequent ‘Mexico’ tribute road car’s character. Instead, the Mk2 used a 1600cc version of the RS2000’s SOHC engine. It was only 2 seconds slower to 60mph than the RS2000 but at £2978, £541 cheaper. The Mexico was the entry-level Mk2 RS Escort but is now amongst the rarest as only around 10% of the 2,290 produced in Saarlouis, West Germany, remain.

Ford Capri RS2600 Mk1 Tour De France (VA13312)

In 1968 Ford of Germany created a Motorsport Department in Cologne in an attempt to change their previously staid image. Managed by successful racing driver Jochen Neerpasch (who later founded BMW's M Division), and engineers Mike Kranefuss and Martin Braungart, the small team soon concentrated their efforts on the new Capri. Their first entry was an ambitious 3-car team for the Tour de France Auto, a ten day event which involved races, speed hill-climbs and long-distance rallying. Although two Capris retired, one with fuel injection problems and the other after an accident, the Piot and Behra Capri came a fantastic sixth overall, behind 4 Porsche 911s and a Chevrolet Corvette, and won its class.

Ford Capri Mk1 3000E Silver Fox The Capri was created to replicate in Europe the spectacular success of the original 1964 Mustang in the USA. The two cars were conceptually similar, taking components from volume-selling saloon cars and wrapping them in an achingly beautiful, and thus desirable, coupe bodyshell. When launched in 1969 Ford dubbed the Capri ‘The Car You Always Promised Yourself’ and it created almost as much of a sales frenzy as the Mustang had. The 3000E was launched in March 1970 and was one of the most desirable Capri variants offering GT performance with the added luxury features befitting of Ford’s E for Executive badge.

VW Golf Mk2 GTI 16V - Monza Blue (VA13606)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Mk2 Golf was announced in 1983 and, whilst more refined, aerodynamic and capacious than the Mk1, was slightly larger and heavier. Volkswagen thus introduced the 16 valve version in late 1985 to address the perceived performance deficit of the Mk2 8 valve GTI to newer rivals such as the Peugeot 205GTi and Vauxhall Astra GTE. The car modelled was first registered on May 1st 1988 near Preston, Lancashire, and is one of very few UK cars ordered in Monza Blue, a colour only available on 1987 and 1988 model year Golfs and which, surprisingly, wasn't that popular. That rarity, of course, means enthusiasts now actively seek out the few remaining Monza Blue examples. Current owner, Kate Westmoreland, a long-standing Volkswagen enthusiast who owns and manages Sandford Road Auto Centre, Doncaster, looked for a 'Monza Blue' for quite some time before purchasing this car from Broxburn, Scotland, in June 2019.
The journey home was challenging as the clutch started to slip but Kate finally arrived at 3.15am and was overall, once she'd replaced the clutch, pleased with the condition and look of the car. Although it's had, incredibly, twenty-one owners, many were friends in the Scottish VW community so it has an excellent interior and wears its 180,000 miles, most of which were done before 1991, lightly. Kate now enjoys using the car regularly but is planning to improve the paintwork and reinstate the original alloy wheels.

Daimler Double-Six Series 2 Vanden Plas - Coral (VA13903)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
Jaguar's sublime 1968 XJ6 Series 1 was always designed to accept the refined new 5.3-litre V12 the company had been developing for some years. When the XJ12 was finally revealed in 1972 it was the best and most refined car in the world, effortlessly powerful, supremely comfortable, and whisper quiet. The 1973 Series 2 built on that, improving the heating, ventilation and air conditioning, grouping the minor gauges in front of the driver, and altering the switching so a number of functions were controlled by stalks rather than switches. The most obvious external change was the two-piece grille, split by a higher front bumper that was designed to meet new US minimum bumper-height regulations. Jaguar purchased Daimler in 1960 and, when they amalgamated with BMC in 1965 to form BMH, became part of the same group as renowned coachbuilder Vanden Plas, Kingsbury, London. The V12 engine enabled the historic Daimler Double-Six name to be revived, thus the car modelled here became the most luxurious long-wheel-base XJ-derived car available. Hand finished by Vanden Plas' craftsmen the Double-Six featured unique colour schemes, Vanden Plas badges, a vinyl roof with chrome finisher at the rear, chrome-swage-line trim, chrome door mirrors, unique leather seats with individualised rear seats, boxwood inlayed interior wood trim, enhanced door trims, Birstall Evlan carpets, rear console cigar lighter and lambs' wool over-rugs. The resulting machine was a distinctive and serious rival to far more expensive cars.

Jaguar XJ6 Series 2 4.2 - Thames Valley Police (VA13904)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
From late summer 1974 the Thames Valley Police (TVP) XJ6 modelled was based at TVP HQ, Kidlington, or 'Traffic South' as it was known. This was also where TVP serviced their vehicles. It was one of a number of 4.2-litre Jaguars, all fitted with a manual/overdrive gearbox, used by TVP 'Traffic' for motorway work. They were very popular with the officers who crewed them and many considered them to be the best motorway car that the force ever used; their speed and general performance were outstanding. This particular car had an experimental Dayglo orange vinyl sticker on the boot lid, which gradually faded with frequent washing and was not fitted to TVP's other Jaguars.
At that time the force's work was divided into three traffic areas, North Eastern, North Western and Southern. The traffic officers would work for two weeks on the motorway using the Jaguars and then two weeks on Divisional Traffic, which at this time was transitioning from using Rover P6 V8s to V6 Ford Granadas. All the Jaguars had their rear seats removed and a plywood floor fitted on which were stored 24 cones, a first aid kit, jack, crowbar, stretcher and other equipment. Red warning flares were stored on the back parcel shelf and signs in a rack in the boot. Any prisoners or other passengers in the Jaguars had to sit on a wooden platform between the cones, without a seat belt.

Jaguar XJ6 Series 2 4.2-litre Strathclyde Police The Jaguar Mk2 3.8-litre brought unmatched power and performance to the compact saloon market in the early 1960s and became a firm favourite among the officers who drove them. Many forces remained loyal to Jaguar and adopted the groundbreaking 1968 XJ6 as a traffic car to patrol Britain’s then rapidly expanding motorway network. The example modelled was one of the last two XJ6s Series 2s purchased
by Dunbartonshire Constabulary. It is, however, presented in the livery it wore after May 16th, 1975 when Strathclyde Police was created by amalgamating eight forces into one unit matching the border of the then new Strathclyde Regional Council.

Vauxhall's UK Special Vehicle Operations department in Worcester created this Mk2 Carlton demonstrator for Police forces to test in 2.6-litre form. However, although it was used on active duty by West Mercia Constabulary and at least three other forces, no replicas were purchased. This was because the Police generally preferred the more powerful and commodious Senator 3.0i, especially in its later 24v form, which although it was based on the same floorpan and mechanical components set as the Carlton was slightly more expensive. The distinctive 'Tiger-Stripe' livery on this car was standard for West Mercia Constabulary in the early 1990s and remained on the car even when it served evaluation duties with other forces.

Ford Escort Mk4 XR3i Diamond White (VA14300)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The XR3i modelled was originally purchased from Arrow Ford in Blackwood, Gwent, on December 15th 1987 and used regularly until 2000 when the then owner passed away. It was then put into storage but eventually re-commissioned and MOT tested by a new owner in Wales in 2006 who offered it for sale via the XR Owners Club in January 2012. It was then bought for £700 by current owner Rob Osborne, a vehicle detailer from Kent. Rob is the car's sixth owner but remarkably, unlike many XR3is, it hadn't been modified during its 132,000 miles so he's restored it to its original specification.
Corgi scanned this example to produce our new MkIV Escort tool. Rob's quest for originality in the restoration of his XR3i has extended to replacing the modern CD player with a factory radio cassette and, because the car is a rare base model XR3i with wind-up windows, replacing the alloy wheels with the correct steel wheels and pearlescent white hubcaps which involved shipping the wheels from Germany. Most UK buyers opted for a higher specification which included alloy-wheels, electric windows, ABS, central locking, spot lamps and a trip computer. Rob has fitted a new unused set of Daytona cloth seats, which amazingly were being stored by a neighbour. He has been able to retain most of the car's original paint work and has created a stunning original specification car which he enjoys using regularly.

The original 1984 Escort Mk3 RS Turbo was developed for Group A motorsport and was very successful on track. It also, however, sold strongly and acted as an image booster for the whole range so when the Mk3 Escort was revised to create the Mk4 in 1986 the Turbo became a mainstream model and acquired a softer character, whilst retaining the original’s electrifying pace. The new RS Turbo was a very appealing showroom package, at just £10,028 it featured ABS as standard as well as Ferguson Development’s clever viscous-coupling limited-slip differential, which endowed it with handling far superior to any previous powerful front-wheel-drive car.

These changes included very attractive 14” ‘Lattice’ alloy wheels, a new colour-coded front bumper with an integrated chin spoiler and a wider air intake, a new rear spoiler which drooped down at the edges for improved high-speed stability and the option of ABS brakes, which cost £315. The CVH engine was fitted with a new electronic fuel injection system that offered only 3 bhp more power but much improved fuel economy and lower emissions.

Volkswagen Type 2 1500 SP Devon Caravette. Pearl White And Velvet Green (VA14500)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The camper modelled was built in Hanover, Germany, in October 1966 to option codes M396 - UK market RHD, and M543 - no seating in load area. It was supplied directly to VW's official UK camper van builder, Devon Conversions, Sidmouth. Although Devon Conversions specialised in VW's, founder Jack White having started by converting his own VW in 1955, they did expand into producing campers using other base vehicles. The company moved to larger premises in 1960, a former gas plant called the Alexandria Works, which had its own rail link to get vehicles in and out efficiently, and by the mid 1960s were converting well over a 1000 vehicles per year.
This example was owned for many years by enthusiastic Split Screen Van Club (SSVC) member Christopher Pratt from Derbyshire, who restored the bodywork in 2010 and made sure, unusually in a VW Type 2, that the vehicle was kept completely original. In 2013 it was purchased by Shropshire-based fellow SSVC member Ted Thomas. He's rebuilt the engine, gearbox and other running gear of the van himself, being an engineer by trade. He has also made sure it is kept original, something that's easier to do on this vehicle as it is one of the first to use a 12 volt electrical system. Ted and his family enjoy using the van regularly and it won 'Best Splitscreen' at Camper Jam in both 2016 and 2017.

Volkswagen Type 2 Camper "RAT-Look Splitty" (VA14501)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Rat-Rod or Rat-Look scene is a huge and growing part of classic car culture and air-cooled VWs have been central to its creation and popularity. RAT is an acronym for 'Recycled Automotive Transport', a perhaps ironic salute to the prevailing western culture, but RAT-Look vehicles are not what they appear. Mechanically they are often far better than they were when new. More powerful engines, better brakes and custom suspension are hidden under an exterior which has been carefully and expensively prepared to look like it's been abandoned in the sun for decades.
The finish is often preserved by a matt clear coat varnish, which stops the vehicle rusting and preserves that 'patina'. The origin of the 'look' came from 1950s hot rodders in the USA being much more interested in go than show, spending every penny on the mechanics of their ride and not worrying about the appearance because money and time could be better spent elsewhere. That produced a look which started to be emulated and became cool. As a new generation started to modify cars with unit construction and single-width styling there was more room for expression in paint and less in terms of the visible engines and axles which defined the 1960s Hot Rod movement. On these new generation modified cars stance became all important, as the look of the car could be radically altered without changing too much sheet metal.

Sensibly, they evolved this successful concept and launched the second generation Type 2 in late 1967. The new vehicle was larger, more powerful, more comfortable and more versatile, but retained the original's charm and its air-cooled rear-engined layout. It was almost immediately nicknamed the 'Bay Window' because of its large wraparound windscreen and is now often known just as the 'Bay'. The example modelled was first registered on May 3rd 1979 and immediately sent to Devon Conversions, the company who invented the word Caravanette, to be turned into a camper.
Now with its 14th owners, and located in East Kent, it was extensively restored by the 13th, a Suffolk-based couple, who had it from January 2016 to November 2018 and christened it 'Pepper'. During this time both the engine and body were substantially rebuilt and it was then resprayed and then lightly modified, being fitted with Porsche-style Fuchs alloy wheels, Porsche heated seats and slightly lowered suspension. It has also since been fitted with electric power steering, making it much easier to manoeuvre, and particularly when towing the colour-matched VW Beetle styled trailer which is, of course, called 'Salt'. Previously to the 13th owners it has been owned all over England at locations such as Hastings, Andover, Rugby, Woking, Cirencester, Braunton, Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar, Blyth, and South Shields, so a well travelled van! Pepper is one of the last 'late Bays' produced in Germany, although production continued in Brazil until 2013 by which time well over 2 million had been produced.

Volkswagen Type 2 Camper "Bay-Rat" (VA14601)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
RAT is an acronym for 'Recycled Automotive Transport', perhaps an ironic salute to prevailing western culture. However, although RAT-Look vehicles may look like they have lain abandoned for years, the very opposite is usually true; that look has often been achieved by putting in a great deal of effort, and money. The VW scene has led the way in creating RAT-Look vehicles that are, in themselves, works of art. Builders go to extremes, painting a vehicle with multiple coats which are then sanded back to different depths revealing a patchwork quilt of feathered colours. Graphic designs are then carefully created over this patch work of paint colours then weathered to match the whole look. Stance is all important to RAT-Look VWs, which often sit very low, giving the RAT-Look car attitude.
However, the engine, suspension, brakes and transmissions are usually far superior to the original with many Rat-Look cars having big power outputs and carefully developed chassis. The deliberately weathered look is now so popular, enthusiasts can spend more time and money creating that exact look than they would have done on a conventional restoration. Once the desired style is achieved it is carefully persevered with a clear coat which seals the rust but prevents it taking hold of the vehicle to a level which would damage its integrity. The great thing about the RAT-Look is there are no rules, what the builder thinks looks good is good.

Triumph TR6 Damson (VA14700)

Triumph realised the Michelotti-styled 1961 TR4 body was looking dated by 1967, however, it just needed restyling to remain competitive. It had received a new IRS chassis in 1965 to become the TR4A, and in 1967 Triumph had slotted in their smooth 2.5-litre 6-cylinder engine to create the TR5. With Michelotti too busy, West German coachbuilders Karmann were tasked with modernising it and the resulting 1969 TR6, which featured new panels front and rear on the TR5 base, was immediately successful. The TR6 remained in production until July 1976 and 91,850 examples of the last separate-chassis TR were built, making it the most numerous of a family started by the TR2 in 1953.
The TR6 modelled was first registered in London in September 1973 and was extensively restored between 1986 and 1988 by then owner, Robert Cleveland, who kept the car until 1999. It was then sold to sixth owner Robert Russell who used it for just over a year before putting it into dry storage until 2012. Current owner, Kent-based Jon Bell, purchased it in June 2012 from specialist TRGB, Somersham, Huntingdon, when it had covered just over 73,000 miles. He immediately commenced recommissioning the car, rebuilding the brakes, fuel injection and numerous other components, but didn't need to paint it as that had survived well. He enjoys using the car regularly and took it on a trouble-free journey to Le Mans in 2017.

Ford Escort RS Cosworth - Diamond White (VA14800)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
After Group B was abandoned and Ford’s bespoke RS200 rally machine was no longer eligible Ford rallied the 4WD Sierra Sapphire Cosworth, but it was too large to win regularly. Boss, Stuart Turner, who was not an engineer, suggested what they really needed was a Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 chassis under the new, smaller, 2-door Mk5 Escort body. The engineers laughed openly at this naïve idea, then went away and did it anyway, grafting an Escort body on to a shortened Sierra Cosworth floorpan. The resultant 1992 Escort Cosworth won ten WRC events and was one of the fastest road cars of its era.

The Mk1 Escort RS2000 had proven to be a huge hit, especially in the UK, and showed the potential of the idea, so Ford took the Mk2 RS2000 up market, positioning it as the performance car every young professional needed. A new deformable polyurethane nose transformed its look and gave it a distinctive, more glamorous, identity but it was practical as well, reducing drag from a CD of 0.444 to 0.386. Announced at the 1975 Geneva Motor Show the RS2000 became the best-selling RS Escort ever made with over 23,000 being produced at Ford’s Saarlouis plant in Germany before production ceased in July 1980.

RS2000 x Pack Venetian Red (VA14902)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
Ford’s AVO plant, which had been created to build short runs of limited-edition cars, was mothballed in 1975 but the company still wanted to offer enthusiasts the option to build the RS Escort of their dreams. Thus the customer or Dealer-fit Series X modifications were developed. The Series X tuning parts catalogue addressed every area of the car, engine, brakes, suspension and body styling but customers could pick the components that they wanted or more pertinently,
could afford. Six X-pack RS2000s were built by Ford’s engineers at Aveley using the full body kit, which was made for the company by Fibresports of Essex.
