Barry Sheene inspired colour scheme. This
awesome GSX-R Harris show stopper was
conceived to showcase all their performance
goodies. Y553 BFX was supplied by Crescent
Suzuki of Bournemouth to Harris where the
comprehensive transformation to a fire breathing
street racer took place. A brief description of the
performance parts included a pair of Ohlins front
fork legs to road track specification, race

Marchesini wheels, AP front brake conversion kit,
comprising 2 x 6 piston calipers, 2 x 320 mm
floating discs, stainless steel braided brake hoses
and stainless steel fittings and the Born To Be
Wild paint work. This is only a fraction of the
work carried out and a list of all the modifications
is available. The current owner has maintained the
GSX in showroom condition and a full service
history confirms the very low mileage of 2045
miles. The history file contains all the service and
maintenance receipts, old MOTs, the original

the bike was a similar figure), magazine articles by
Superbike, March 2002, Superbike calendar, MCN

the bike was featured. There is also a photograph
of Barry Sheene signed a spare tail section and the

been restored, only receiving maintenance as
necessary. In 2010 the car was recommissioned
for its current MOT by the family. The history file

217 A 1999 Quantum 2+2 Sports, registration
number M226 MYD, chassis number H4-081,
blue. Quantum Sports Cars Ltd was founded by
the Woodridge family in Stourbridge in 1985
manufacturing the Quantum 2+2, H4i and Xtreme
models. The firm gained a universal reputation for
quality, service and engineering excellence. The
company was subsequently sold in 2001 to the
present owners John and Rosmary Sampson of
Loddiswell in Devon, who have continued the 2+2
and Xtreme models and providing parts and
service for these hand built British sports cars.
This particular model was built in 1999 using the
rare Ford RS1800 Fiesta (130PS), of which only
483 were built between 1992 and 1995, as a donor
vehicle. Based on a chassis of powder coated steel
enclosed in a glass fibre shell, this open top sports

224 A 1949 Bentley Mk VI Special, registration
number KLP 607, chassis number B499CD,
engine number B500C, British Racing Green.
Bentley Motors, founded by Walter Owen
Bentley, had an illustrious racing history, winning
numerous races including Le Mans five times.
Bentley went into receivership in 1931 and was
subsequently purchased by Rolls Royce. Then
production moved from Cricklewood to Derby and
the first new model, a 3½ litre, appeared in 1933,
which became known as the Silent Sports Car.
The majority of Mk VI and similar Rolls Royce
models introduced after WWII were delivered
with standard steel saloon bodies, made by Pressed
Steel. However customers still had the option to
have a rolling chassis delivered to a coach builder
of their choice, where a bespoke body would be
fitted and trimmed. B499 CD was such a car - she
was delivered to Gurney Nutting on the 6th June
1948, where a four door sports saloon body was
fitted. From there, B499 CD travelled to Jack
Barcley Ltd where the new lucky owner would
take delivery on the 8th April 1949. B499 CD was
purchased by the current owner with the intention
of restoring the original Gurney Nutting body to
its former glory. Unfortunately, after careful
inspection, it was felt that the body was beyond
repair and the decision was taken to create a
Special in the best sporting tradition. A thorough
programme of restoration and creation has taken
place, with a new four seat tourer body having
been made in ash, with hand formed aluminium
panels. The engine has been rebuilt with 20 thou
big end & 30 thou main bearings, valve guides,
cylinder head studs and the block has been sleeved
back to standard. The four speed gearbox was
found to be in good condition but a new clutch and
thrust bearing were fitted. The chassis was re-
sprayed and the lower trunnions were rebuilt. The
brakes were rebuilt with new seals and servo and
the refurbished chassis now rolls on stoved enamel
17 inch wheels with new tyres. When all the work
was completed the engine and gearbox were
moved 14 inches back on the chassis and the
radiator was lowered. The interior has been re-
trimmed with green leather seats and door cards,
which complement the green carpets. The
bespoke mahogany dashboard has refurbished
dials and an electronic rev counter. There is also a
wood rim steering wheel fitted for that finishing
touch. To complement the British Racing Green
body, new weather gear has been made in black
double duck, consisting of a hood, side screens,
full tonneau and hood cover. B499 CD further
benefits from a fold-flat windscreen, aero screens,
a heavy duty alternator and has been fully re-
wired. The history file contains a copy of the
build card, specification sheets from the Rolls
Royce Enthusiast's Club, a photograph of the
Gurney Nutting bodied car, general
correspondence and restoration receipts. B499
CD's transformation into a striking sports special
was completed last year and only a handful of
shake-down miles have been covered since.
Unfortunately the current owner feels it won't get
sufficient use due to his other projects and he is
reluctantly now having to sell her. This
beautifully constructed Special is now ready for a
new owner to enjoy the coming summer months in
open top splendour. V5C, MOT to March 2012,

227 A 1974 MG B GT V8, registration number
PWH 174M, chassis number GD201522G, engine
number 421, teal blue. The evergreen MG B
received the Rover V8 3.5 litre engine in 1973. It
was only ever available in GT form from MG, but
engine tuners such as Ken Costello and numerous
other enthusiasts have subsequently transplanted
the Rover V8 into both the roadster and GT. With
the de-tuned 137 bhp Range Rover spec engine,
the MG B GT V8 had very respectable
performance figures of 0-60 mph in 8.5 seconds
and a top speed of 125 mph when new. This MG
B GT V8, offered for auction, has been the subject
of a Category D insurance claim. However the
current owner has restored the vehicle and carried
out any necessary repair to conform to
roadworthiness. The car was then inspected and a
new MOT was obtained. The re-sprayed teal blue
body is fitted with a Webasto style sunroof (ready
for the coming summer) which complements the
re-trimmed brown cloth interior. The engine has
received some recent work, including a top engine
rebuild and there is a four speed gearbox with
overdrive. It also benefits from having a long life
stainless steel exhaust fitted, for many years of
trouble free motoring. A good history file
accompanies the car, with past MOTs, restoration
bills and maintenance receipts. The vendor
informs us that the car now drives very well and
with the readily available spare parts from the MG
Owner's Club and numerous other specialists,

the Jaguar XJS was the last Jaguar model that had
direct design input by the founder of the company,
Sir William Lyons. It shared the same alloy V12
engine first used in the series III E-Type, clothed
in a striking new grand tourer coupé body and was
available with both automatic and manual
transmissions. This fastidiously maintained two
owner automatic XJS has travelled an approximate
genuine 107,000 miles from new and has a full

leather interior contrasted with burgundy piping
and burgundy Wilton wool carpets. During the
present ownership a comprehensive condition
assessment was carried out by Chris Knowles of
KWE and the following service and preventative
measures were undertaken. A full 15,000 mile
service was carried out, chemical flush of oil and
waterways, all coolant and fuel hoses replaced,
ignition leads, plugs, distributor cap and rota
replaced, the electrical system was renovated with
all connections cleaned, inspected and replaced as
necessary, all cavities and box sections were
injected with waxoil rust protection, the

calipers, discs, pads and hoses were fitted, new
shock absorbers and springs front and rear, new
radius arm and anti rollbar bushes were fitted, both
doors were repaired to remove any trace of rust
and were resprayed and numerous other service
items were replaced. The vast history file

original owner's handbook, a Jaguar workshop
manual, the original DAC5574 radio-cassette

the best maintained XJS's to come onto the open
market. The vendor informs us that the car has

242 A 1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I, registration

number BF0 424D, chassis number B9473691

The Sunbeam Tiger was inspired by the AC
Cobra, the result of mating Ford's small block V8
with an AC Ace. Routes American Motor Inc.
saw the potential to do the same with the Alpine
and intrusted Carroll Shelby with the task. Carroll
duly produced a prototype incorporating the 4.2
litre (260 cu in) Windsor engine into the Alpine.
Most of the Alpine's basic layout was retained
with independent front suspension incorporating
coil springs and live rear axle supported by semi-
elliptic leaf springs. The resulting new car was a
real wolf in sheep's clothing with a top speed of
120 mph and a 0-60 time of eight seconds. This
beautifully restored Tiger Mk I has been the
subject of a bare metal, nut and bolt restoration,
which was started by the previous lady owner,
who acquired the car in 1989. She used the car as
a daily driver before embarking on a full bare
metal rebuild. Unfortunately she was unable to
finish the task and the current owner, who
acquired the car in 2002, completed the task by
2003. Finished in bright tartan red with black
vinyl seats, carpets, walnut dashboard and steering

factory steel hardtop, black soft top, stainless steel
twin exhaust and sits on the correct Minilite alloy
wheels. The engine was found to be in excellent
condition when the heads were removed so
machine work was kept to a minimum. The only
change from standard specification was the fitting
of a Holley two barrel carburettor. The engine
was duly installed into a detailed engine bay. The
history file contains photographs of the car
stripped to bare metal, MOTs back to 2003, but
unfortunately no earlier history. With AC Cobras
now well into six figures the Sunbeam Tiger offers
the enthusiast possibly a last chance to experience
similar performance at a fraction of the cost. V5,
