Orchard Books The Shakespeare Stories: 16 Book Collection

Product Information

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of motoring history that is far more usable than an Austin 7/Morris 8. I am over 6ft and the '12' fits me easily and is very easy to drive. The interior also received significant attention with re-worked dashboard, new seats, the rear was panelled with timber/carpet and a Lotus sports steering wheel fitted. We recommend early viewing and a test drive to fully appreciate this stunning and utterly engaging classic. When the RV8 came into Milestones she was in fine fettle – as you would expect – and we decided the car simply needed to look as good as she drove.

At Milestones Classics we drive thousands of miles looking for excellent cars that can be used and enjoyed – this TR6 fits that description perfectly. We are always on the lookout for nice MGB GT’s and were therefore delighted when the owner of this lovely, locally owned example asked us to part-exchange his cherished GT for another Milestones classic. During 1948 Wilhelm Karmann bought a VW Beetle and converted it into a four-seat convertible and after successfully presenting the car to the VW management team in Wolfsburg the Beetle Cabriolet began production in 1949. The sills, floors, dash & door apertures were structurally reinforced while the hood was fully lined to hide the hood mechanism and the rear window was manufactured in tempered safety glass. It remains the only conversion sanctioned by Volkswagen.After a period of time something “broke” and the Clubman was put under a cover and forgotten about. Fast forward around 25 years and the Clubman was liberated from storage and eventually bought by John’s friend and former work colleague Phil, a skilled engineer looking for a project. Power comes from the peppy three-cylinder Turbo Suzuki engine producing 80bhp coupled to a five-speed short-shift gearbox – she makes all the right noises and delivers an utterly engaging driving experience. Today the Clubman is a real testament to the skill and knowledge of Phil the restorer and his painter. Jamie simply describes the van as driving like a “skewered rat”– his words not mine. I guarantee it will bring a smile to your face. The Wolseley Six is one of the rarest BMC models from this era of motoring delivering a level of luxury and performance superior to other BMC offerings of the period.

The car’s history folder indicates that during the 1990’s the car was resident in Switzerland and there are service invoices from the garage in Coppin (Keller’s) who serviced the car for a number of years. At Milestones we are always looking for outstanding cars with good providence and sadly still get very excited when we market an exceptional car like this FD. The Estate is well known in the owners club with just 6 previous owners including two active club members -one like it so much he has owned her twice - and we have sold the car twice previously to our decerning customers.

The W123 is a range of executive cars produced by Mercedes Benz between 1975 and 1986. The car has been cited as ‘Best Car’ in the history of What Car and many purists believe it to be the best model ever produced by the company. Jamie & Paul fitted new wood-veneer dashboard & door cappings, a new mohair hood was fitted and Jamie machine polished the rare British Racing Green (Metallic) paint. In addition, the alloy wheels and interior seats/carpets were deep cleaned/polished. The result is one of the sharpest and best driving RV8’s that you could wish to own.

The sleek outer body of the Jaguar XK conceals high quality interiors demonstrating Jaguar’s unique flair for design. Combined with excellent handling and superb V8 engine the car is a phenomenal driving experience and today there is no doubt that the secret is out. Low mileage, well maintained examples are highly prized, and values are rising steadily. The Mk2 is an iconic car but at Milestones we have always struggled to find an example that we like and were therefore delighted when a regular customer from Newcastle-upon-Tyne approached us to sell his 340. Moss car parts can supply just about everything you need in the way of parts for your classic Mini, MGA, MGB, MGC, MGF, MG TF, MGT series, Morris Minor, Triumph Spitfire, TR's, MX5, Sprites and Midgets along with restoration tools and servicing items.Milestones sold the TF around five years ago to a retired engineer and he has continued to maintain the car to an extremely high standard during his custodianship. Most importantly he fitted a 5-speed gearbox conversion. Mechanically the car drives very as you would expect and has recently benefited from a starter-motor, ignition overhaul, brake overhaul and has always been regularly serviced.

Our low mileage example has only been owned and driven by a local mother & daughter from new, always serviced regularly and is a very regretful sale of a much-loved car. Our lovely example of the incredibly popular 190 (1.8) is offered in Artic White with grey interior and has covered 75k miles from new, just run-in for a 190E.During the 1980’s a highly skilled engineer (John) worked at Wadham Street Garage in Weston-super-Mare. He was looking for a project to make into a ‘hot’ everyday car and landed on a Mini Clubman Estate that needed some work. The twin rear doors were removed, and a single door fabricated and the roof given a new rear ‘lip’ that works really well. This really is an opportunity to own a slice of automotive art that will only go up in value while delivering an utterly intoxicating driving experience. Has to be seen and driven to be appreciate . There are lots of Mercedes out there to choose from but very few outstanding examples, most have gone through multiple owners and covered intergalactic mileages where maintenance, care & attention has been in short supply. The van received a high-quality metallic grey respray, new shiny bits and sports wheels/Yokohama tyres. The MG Midget Mk III was introduced in 1966. Improved performance (the A-series engine capacity was increased to 1275cc) and refined interior (including a folding hood mechanism) made the model the perfect entry level sports car for a new generation of appreciative young drivers who wanted affordable performance.
