Important Motor Tax Announcement for R.O.I
UK Registered Vehicles
2000's
Jaguar XJR 2000 £ 12, 500
These phenomenal ‘super charged’ performers are thin on the ground in cherished condition with low mileage. The first owner of this particular car was clearly enthusiastic as eleven optional features over and above the already high standard specification are listed on the original purchase invoice, thus relieving his wallet of £64,000 at the time. Extras included (but are not limited to) satellite navigation, smoked window glass, bbs split rim alloy wheels, performance pack, rear privacy blind and power fold mirrors. Once purchased, this car was little driven and the two subsequent owners have also restricted use to pleasure motoring. The total mileage is just 34,000 since new and the vehicle comes prepared for its next owner with a major main agent service just completed and stamped in the service book. Finished in Mistral Blue with Cashmere ‘classic’ hide, this attractive combination immediately identifies it as a late X308. This is a truly stunning modern classic.

Jaguar XJ8 3.5 SE 2003 £ 10, 995   (December registered)
Considering the X-350 cars were little changed during their run of production, and the range has only just been superseded, the ownership of such a car is truly prestigious. Early cars, in particular, offer staggering value- providing a truly cared for example can be found. This two owner car was sold to the second owner by a Jaguar main dealer just seven months ago, so it fulfilled their stringent criteria as an ‘approved’ used car which was eligible to receive their extended warranty (valid until January 2011). The mileage is modest at 58,000 since new which is supported by a stamped record. As the ‘V8’, this is the smoother and more agile performer of the range. The trimmings of this ‘SE’ (special equipment) such as ‘Luxury’ style alloy wheels, chrome window surrounds and wood rim steering wheel identify its status as the upmarket choice. This particular car has the much requested option of satellite navigation. With immaculate Platinum Silver paintwork, unmarked Sand Leather upholstery, freshly refurbished alloy wheels and the addition of a mesh radiator with chromium surround, this Jaguar will really stand out from the crowd.

Jaguar S Type 2.5 SE 2002 £ 6, 995
These models offer tremendous value and they are proving especially popular with our Irish clients. This two owner example has the revised dash board and is one of the first to be offered with this smaller, more economical engine option. As an SE model, it has cruise control, heated seats, wood rim steering wheel, air conditioning and full leather. There is an excellent, stamped service record with this S Type and its mileage is 54,000 since new. The colour scheme is one of the most requested- Pacific Blue with Dove Grey hide. The overall condition of this car is excellent and it would surely be difficult to find better.

1990's
Daimler V8 1998 € 9, 995
An outstanding looking Long Wheel Base saloon which we imported into Ireland for the previous owner just over two years ago; it has just been traded in with us for a later car and therefore returns to the market. All previous servicing is with main dealers, initially in the UK and then with Spirit in Dublin. We have just freshly serviced the car and the rear shock absorbers are new- the total mileage is 76,000 from new. The specification of this Daimler is awesome with the picnic tables, inlaid wood work and Auto Lux leather which is piped. We have just re commissioned the cosmetic detail and it can fairly be described as exceptionally nice- this car would be a wonderfully stylish daily driver or could earn its keep for weddings. Finished in Sapphire Blue with Ivory Hide piped in coffee which is a striking colour combination. For an Irish buyer, this Daimler has the advantage of being VRT paid and it would be supplied with a fresh NCT. (View at Terenure)

Daimler Super V8 1999 £9, 995 Reserved
The height of luxury with this very top of the range, super charged, long wheel base. All the expected luxuries are present and many more besides- for example, rear picnic tables, lambs’ wool over rugs, inlaid wood work, rear privacy blinds and fluted bright work. This particular car was supplied and maintained for the first owner by Creamer of Kensington and we supplied it to the second owner two years ago; HA Fox have carried out maintenance and there is an up to date health check report with the history file. The mileage is 66,000 since new. Finished in Anthracite (metallic black) with Ivory ruched Autolux hide, this is a very imposing motor car and it offers tremendous value.

Jaguar XJ8 3.2 1999 £ 8, 500 Reserved
This is one of the most fastidiously kept, original examples we have handled in recent years. It was briefly a demonstrator with ‘Paramount’ when new, then it passed to the first and only private owner. Each year this car returned to the Jaguar main dealer for a service and health check despite covering a mere 21,000 miles which is the total from new. The beautifully straight panel work is finished in Madeira whilst the perfectly preserved ‘Classic’ style interior is Oatmeal full hide. In every respect, this must surely be one of the best to be found. The price includes an up to date service with the Jaguar main dealer; the eleventh stamp in the book! and a totally clear health check report from Jaguar.

1980's
Jaguar XJS V12 HE Cabriolet 1986 £ 12, 995
As the precursor to the full convertible, this is often a preferred choice with enthusiasts as it provides the open air motoring experience, whilst offering the rigidity and practicality of a’ targa’ style roof. Production of the cabriolet model spanned less than three years, so they are a rare sight these days and already very collectable. Aside from its immaculate appearance and outstanding degree of originality, the remarkable aspect with this particular car is its main dealer servicing with a stamp each year, despite such little use. The total mileage is just 41,000 from new. Finished in Antelope with black hood and Doeskin hide, this is a very smart machine.

Jaguar XJS V12 Coupe 1981 £ 12, 500
One of the first ‘HE’ (Higher Efficiency) cars, these were positively remodelled over the original design. Proper chrome was introduced to the bumpers and wood fillets adorned both the inner door panels and dash board. The ‘May’ cylinder heads (with modified fuel rails) significantly improved the V12 fuel consumption. It is exceedingly rare to find such an early model with its original trim features which include ‘star fish’ wheels, radio cassette, ‘Slumberland’ bucket seating and double band coach lines- only the wood rim steering wheel is ‘after market’ and this costly accessory complements this ‘time capsule’ example. It is finished in one of the most pleasing colour combinations of the period; Sapphire Blue with Biscuit Hide. This Jaguar was supplied to the Channel Islands where it has spent most of the time in ideal conditions for preservation- the mileage is low at just 30,000 since new and the overall presentation of this example must rank it as one the very best remaining. It would be ideal for an enthusiast owner who seeks a luxury, performance touring coupe in an undeniably classic design.

Jaguar Mark Ten 4.2 1965 £ 19, 995
A top drawer example of these exceedingly graceful luxury saloons. This was supplied new to personal friends of Robert Hughes and is still registered to the family. In recent years, the car has formed part of a small collection and it has covered a mere 29,000 miles since new. There is a lovely file of early paperwork with this vehicle and this even includes a sales pamphlet for the Jaguar approved Delanair air conditioning which was fitted to this car. As a late Mark Ten, it is the ultimate of its line benefiting from the larger engine, later brakes and superior power steering- as a ‘pre 420G’ this car retains the full wood work and original style radiator grille. The car has electric windows and Wilton style rugs to protect the original carpets. Finished in the stunning colour scheme of Navy Blue with Blue Grey leather, this is a beautiful car.

1950's
Jaguar XK150 1959 £ 46, 995 Reserved
We are proud to offer one of the very finest and most original examples known to exist. Originally a UK supplied car, the fascinating history file charts it’s export to Uganda in 1962 then a return to Jaguar at Browns Lane in the mid Sixties before being shipped to the Isle of Man where it remained until 1975. Following a brief spell back in England, it was then taken to Northern Ireland where it was to spend the next thirty two years before we acquired this remarkable XK and sold it to a client in Scotland. The mileage, which is extremely well documented, is just 36,000 since new. The car boasts one of the most supple, original interiors- an absolute time capsule. Bodywork is exceptional and the engine compartment finely detailed. As the final model of the XK line, it is the most refined and comfortable. The 3.4 litre engine benefits from overdrive which was a worthwhile option at the time and makes this car all the more desirable

MGB Roadster 1973 £14, 995 Reserved
The last chrome bumper cars represent the pinnacle of MGB production, and this must certainly feature amongst the very best, ultra- original survivors. It was supplied new to the first and only owner who retained this very special example for occasional open air motoring. It clocked up just a few hundred miles each year and now has a total mileage of just 15,000 from new. With sparing, but regular mileage, this car has benefited from the most favourable pattern of usage and this is reflected in the taught manner in which it drives. The condition of the wonderfully straight bodywork, interior and fittings also support that this MG has never suffered neglect in any way. Finished in a deep Mallard Green with Tan upholstery and Rostyle wheels, this is a fine looking machine and a journey back in time! Overdrive is fitted, which always enhances the enjoyment of these sports cars. A substantial history file including twenty six consecutive MOT certificates and service book is included in the sale.

Jensen Healey GT 1975 £ 14, 995
An ‘estate car’ version of the ‘Healey’ sports provided practicality with an exotic twist. A pity that the model was not conceived until the final months of Jensen production; hence, only 509 were built.  It was powered by the Lotus two litre twin cam mated with the precise changes of a Getrag five speed gearbox. Quality of fittings confirmed Jensen’s reputation for supreme hand crafted workmanship; as a late example, the car is fitted with the highly desired burr walnut dash board facia. A demonstration model, this Jensen remained in the Norwich area until we purchased it recently. As paperwork and a known history supports, the mileage is 57,000 since new. The Brientz Blue coachwork and Fawn upholstery is unmarked, and evidence of caring, long term ownership. Even the engine compartment and under side is finely detailed. The highly polished alloy wheels have just been refurbished.  Yet still, the car has been used for track days and driven long distances including Vienna and back in recent years which should inspire confidence to a future owner. This is a most unusual find, and probably the best on offer for some considerable time.

Sunbeam Alpine 1963 £ 13, 995
There are obvious hints of Americana in its image, so the original Rootes design with large tail fins must surely be the preferred choice. As a late Series Two, however, this car has the benefit of the larger 1592cc engine. Another advantage of the Series Two is a folding soft top which can stow away behind the seats as a practical alternative to the removable hard top. The car on offer was purchased by the second owner from the original lady purchaser thirty years ago, and has been kept for investment and enjoyment amongst a collection of sixties classics. The mileage is 64,000 since new. Since our acquisition, this amazingly original car has benefited from a back to metal repaint in its original Seacrest Green colour, refurbishment of the silver painted wire wheels and fine detailing the engine compartment. The durable Black interior has pale green piping to complement the exterior and is in excellent original condition. This is an extremely rare and stylish example of an enjoyable sixties sports car which can be easily maintained.

Audi A3 SE TDI 2 Litre 2006  £11, 995
The popular turbo- diesel automatic model offers economy along with great performance. As a ‘Sport Back’ version, this is hugely advantageous- the slightly straightened back does not detract from the sleekness of the lines, yet this provides the capacity benefits of a proper estate car.  We have received this very clean example in part exchange from the second owner who has recently taxed it for a year and had a service carried out. It also has a year’s MOT. Finished in Aluminium Silver with Black Grey upholstery, this car is difficult to fault. Just 42,000 miles have been covered from new and this well supported with paper work and service history

Rover 95 1962 £8,500 Reserved
The ‘P4’ is a quintessentially English post war classic, with lasting qualities. The enduring appeal of these models means healthy spares availability and technical support still exists for these durable, beautifully finished saloons- they are a truly sensible and practical choice for pleasure motoring. This particular car is finished in Black with Tan leather upholstery and features the high ratio axle for better cruising. There is a file of fascinating early paperwork from its first owner, a retired Army Captain who retained the vehicle for around twenty years. Since then, it has been sold on twice to enthusiast owners who have undoubtedly cared for it. The recorded mileage is believed genuine at 53,000 with the overall condition and standard of presentation of this car being outstanding- the original fold out tool tray, still complete down to the touch up paint, is testament alone to the respectful way in which this Rover has been treated.
