The MT350 was manufactured by Harley-Davidson and was a development of its predecessor the Armstrong MT500 with a smaller capacity engine, electric start and disc brakes. Using a Rotax engine, these motorcycles were used by the armed forces and as such are heavy, sturdy well built machines. The MT350 offered for sale here was previously owned by the Ministry of Defence and is therefore subject to VAT. The purchaser will receive the military history, the necessary paperwork to get it registered and will be the first recorded keeper. Presented in excellent condition, this Harley Davidson has just been serviced and has had a new battery fitted, together with a cambelt and tensioner bearings and comes complete with a toolkit, panniers and weapons holder.

Registration No: WTG 339 Engine No: 213B6015 CC: 2600 Colour: Red Trim Colour: Black MOT: June 2013The history of AC is one of the most fascinating of all automotive stories. From invalid carriages to trains and golf trolleys to the mighty Cobra, the company has spanned a uniquely broad and challenging technological spectrum since its formation in 1901. The initial post-war fare was relatively staid, but the Ace and its descendants were to put the company on a whole new footing. Designed by John Tojeiro, it comprised a metal-framed, two-seater alloy body on a tubular ladder-type chassis. Suspension was transverse leaves front and rear - as proven by Cooper on its race cars. When introduced in 1953, the model was powered by AC's own 100bhp 2-litre straight-six engine. However, this was now rather long in the tooth, and from 1956 there was the option of the more modern and powerful (120bhp) 2-litre Bristol unit, the effect of which was to raise the top speed by some 15 mph and knock no less than four seconds off the 0-60mph time. The final iterations of the model - some 37 cars - were equipped with a 'hot' version of the 2.6-litre engine from Ford's MKII Zephyr, further boosting the Ace's already respectable performance. Then came the Cobra.... The Aceca was effectively a Coupe version of the Ace and was made from 1954 to 1963. The structure was basically the same, though in addition to having a roof, the Aceca featured a hatchback tail similar to that of the pioneering Aston Martin DB 2/4. The engine options were also similar and by the time production ceased, some 151 AC-engine Acecas, 169 Aceca-Bristols and eight versions with the Ford unit had been made The red 1957 Aceca-Bristol offered has a most interesting history. It was entered in the 1958 RAC Rally and modifications it still sports include twin fuel fillers, wood-rim steering wheel and the indicator and horn controls on the fascia. It then had a spell in Ireland before returning to the UK around 1977. The vendor acquired the car in 1998, prior to which the original Bristol engine had been removed, its place being taken by a 2.6-litre Ford Zephyr MkII unit. After purchasing the Aceca, he treated it to an extensive restoration that included the following: the engine was stripped and overhauled, all moving parts were balanced, and an unleaded cylinder head with polished ports and larger valves was fitted; as was a sports camshaft and the flywheel was lightened. Three 1.25in carburettors on an Aquaplane alloy inlet manifold were added; also a reconditioned five-speed gearbox and adapter plate. A six branch exhaust manifold and stainless steel system was custom-made by Zero Exhausts. Other new engine related items included a spin-off oil filter, alternator, facet fuel pump, electric fan and alloy Ruddspeed rocker cover. New front disc brakes were fitted, the rear brakes were relined and the callipers reconditioned. The body was stripped back to bare metal, repairs made as necessary and new doors fabricated. All existing brake lines were replaced with copper items, a new fully-balanced propshaft was installed together with a refurbished differential and new wire wheels from Wire Wheel Services. The wiring, headlights etc were replaced, the speedometer and rev counter were rejuvenated by Vintage Restorations, the glass for the windscreen, doors and quarter lights was replaced and a new Perspex rear window fitted. All brightwork was either rechromed or renewed. All woodwork was relacquered and the interior treated to new leather, headlining and carpets. Unfortunately, the vendor has had very little return from his substantial investment due to ill health and is now giving somebody else the chance to enjoy this fine looking and doubtless pretty rapid AC. PLEASE NOTE: The estimate on this vehicle is £50,000 to 60,000 and its chassis number is BE 586

If one can say that Cadillac is the standard for the American Car in all of its luxury, grandeur and sophistication. Then perhaps it can be said Mercedes-Benz is the European standard of the equivalent. The Mercedes-Benz “SL” didn’t just come to be as we see it today, out of a need to fill a void in the accounting department or an idea brought about by the marketing team. The SL has a lineage perhaps older than any other production model in existence. The ground breaking 300SL’s were the introduction to nearly 60 years of continued engineering triumphs, racing victories, and a car the general public could call to as a familiarity & standard for the luxury sports car.There is one particular instance during this time where these cars achieved a golden age and had the perfect combination/balance of hand built quality and modern technology. It was the Pagode or 113 Series cars produced from 1964-1971 that embellished the true meaning of the SL, and today are recognized as the standard for the SL’s lineage. As the 230SL came to the end of its run in 1966 the 250SL was introduced, but only for a brief moment, as the power was then upgraded once again to the 2.8L specification. Thus the 280SL was born and first introduced in 1968. It would run its course until the middle of 1971 when the 107 series was introduced.During its production many options were available in a seemingly endless amount of color combinations. It is rare to see a Pagoda Mercedes on the road most days of the week, but perhaps even rarer to see one that isn’t Red or White as most of them were. The car on offer here is an interesting car for a few different reasons. The first and most interesting point to be made is that of how it was originally ordered. The fact cannot be stressed enough that the combination in which this car is presented is incredibly rare, and perhaps the ultimate combination. “Black on Black”, “triple Black”, or also know as Black exterior, with a Black interior and matching Black soft and hard tops; a true rarity in the world of 280SL’s, and an opportunity that does not happen often. Thanks to the Mercedes Benz Classic Center, we know that this car was ordered from the factory new, with the following options per the Data Card Translation (copy available for review):Chassis number: 113 044 12 001602Engine number: 130 983 12 001051Rear axle number: 07008Front axle number, l&r: 108Transmission number: 008853Steering box number: 3179Ignition key code: HF 0752Trunk/glove key code: KN 079Door/tank key code: TB 048Exterior color code: 040 – black body & hardtopInterior color code: 131 – black MB TexOption codes:401 single seats416 hardtops mounted426 power steering461 instruments in English491 USA version503 outside side view mirror, left515 Becker radio524 paint coat preservation598 heat insulated glass / heated rear pane600 trim strips on hardtop669 mode of packing VE I740 soft-top fabric, blackToday the car matches these original criteria, exactly. It is finished in its original colors of 040 Black and 131 Black MBTex with matching Black soft and hard tops. The engine number matches as well and overall this car indeed reflects as a very nice example finished the way it should be.Early history on this example shows via its original documents to have been sold new out of Gauthier Motors Inc. in Salem, Massachusetts to a Toby Wilbur of Elliot, Maine. It is assumed that Mr. Wilbur sold the car in 1972 to a resident of Vermont, or moved there himself. Our next instance of record is in 1972 when it was serviced by Auto Master Motor Company of Burlington VT, Vermont’s only Mercedes-Benz dealer at the time. There the 36,000 mile service was completed and the Warranty validated. At this time, 6-6-1972, 36,780 miles were reported. A few years later on 3/4/1975 at 65,318 miles, at the same dealership the 63,
