Managing Director – Bridge Classic Cars
We seen a few cars added this week to our ‘free to buy, free to sell’ website MyClassics.
First up, (and I do very much have a soft spot for these), is a lovely 2010 Fiat 500 1.2 Pop currently available from LRH Cars in Hadleigh, Suffolk. The car comes with a comprehensive service history and has also had its timing/cambelt and water pump replaced at 43778 miles on 17/08/2016.
It also has many supporting invoices for servicing including some not stamped in the book and this would be a fantastic little starter car or daily runner with the Insurance Group being just 5U.
For more information on the Fiat 500 contact LRH Cars.
Next up, a ridiculously rare 1988 Vauxhall Belmont Jubilee Edition, believed to be the only one left in existence and one of only twenty three Belmont’s left on the road. Available now, having just gone through the MOT after a light recommission.
Also, listed on MyClassics is a 1985 Austin Mini Mayfair (Berkeley). The car is a very rare Wood & Pickett Mini Mayfair ‘Berkeley’. It has a soft-top, bull-bars, walnut dash, Mountney leather steering wheel and Wolfrace alloys to name a few of the conversion parts. Covering just 29500 miles it has spent most of the last 25 years under cover in storage.
Steve Burkinshaw, the Mini Cooper Register coachbuilt Mini expert, has helped confirm the provenance and rarity as well as confirming that all of my information fits with it being a genuine W&P.
Regarding provenance and the vehicle’s story, we believe that only 3 of these particular Minis were commissioned or still exist. Henlys of Berkeley Square, who owned W&P at the time, commissioned a small number of these vehicles. The service book confirms that it was sold by Henlys with the dealers stamp and the original number plate of C121 BYW was confirmed as a London Reg. Likewise the additions on the vehicle such as the Wolfrace alloys and bull-bars were typical of W&P conversions.
It singles itself out however, as instead of W&P on the detail line around the car, it says “Berkeley”. It also has this on the boot lid. Steve Burkinshaw had only heard of 3 of these mini’s being commissioned so there is a chance for someone to own a particularly rare mini.
If you have a car or number plate to sell, MyClassics is our gift to you. No buyer fees or seller fees involved in any of the cars on our website. If you are looking to buy, simply log on and if you find a car you like you can speck directly to the seller.
