Viewing in person at The Lichfield Auction Centre takes place on Friday 24 July.
A lineup of historic vehicles are set to get bidders’ hearts racing when they go under the hammer in Lichfield this month.
They include a 1956 ex-military Land Rover, iconic sports cars and motorbikes, and feature with Richard Winterton Auctioneers at The Lichfield Auction Centre, Fradley Park, on Monday 27 July.
The 88 inch Series One Land Rover entered service with the Durham Light Infantry in 1956 and was decommissioned and registered for domestic road use in 1966.
Ever since then it has been meticulously maintained by the vendor and used on a weekly basis.
Another highlight of the auction is a restored 1972 Lotus Elan Sprint FHC in iconic red, gold and white.
This model was the final and most developed version of the original two-seat Elan and, although mechanically derived from the Series 4, Lotus marketed the Sprint as a model in its own right.
The Elan boasts a 1558cc big valve petrol engine, dual Dellorto carburettors, Spyder sub-frame, four-speed manual gearbox, iconic pop-up headlights and black vinyl bucket seats.
A ‘nut and bolt’ restoration of the sports coupé was carried out in 1998.
The same vendor is also offering a 1964 Austin-Healey ‘Frogeye’ assembly restoration project in need of completion, including chassis, body panels, engine, gearbox and other parts.
A third client has consigned a restored 1974 Innocenti Mini Cooper, made under licence in Italy and exported to the UK in 1980, and a 1967 MG B Roadster convertible sports car, also restored.
Motorbikes in the auction include a 1955 BSA Golden Flash 650cc ready for restoration, with the cherished number plate ‘ROB 326’.
The same vendor also offers a 1974 Honda CB360 360cc for restoration.
Another vendor has consigned a 1966 Royal Enfield Turbo Twin 250cc and a 1938 Velocette GTP 250cc, both road ready.
The sale also includes another cherished number plate retention document for ‘BDH 100’.
