The mid-mounted engine and rear wheel drive configuration processes all the correct sports car credentials to ensure optimum driver delight. Regular servicing with a recent replacement cam-belt and water pump, fitment of a heavy-duty head gasket and stainless steel coolant pipes all fitted as a precaution are documented. There is an invoice for £405.25 from MGOC Spares Ltd for the supply only of a stainless steel exhaust system which sounds delightful. The short throw sports ratio five speed gearbox completes the package.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The original and unrestored 15inch eight-spoke style alloy wheels with the MG logo are in wonderful condition with no kerb damage whatsoever and only to tiniest scratches visible. Matching Falken Ziex tyres of size 185/55 R15 front and 205/50 R15 rear have ample tread. Ventilated front discs and solid rear discs with factory optional electronic anti-lock braking offer positive straight-line stopping power.

EXTERIOR
This iconic supermini from Peugeot, largely credited for turning Peugeot’s fortunes around in the 1980’s, the 205 needs little introduction and indeed recently celebrated 40 years since launch in 1983. This incredible limited edition ‘Look’ has covered just 26,787 miles from new and remains original, preserved and unspoilt. Finished in factory optional Topaz Blue metallic, (Code M0LZ), the paint finish is in amazing order boasting a bright uniform finish. The critical eye will detect a few light touched in scratches mainly to the nearside front wing, quite insignificant. The ‘Look’ badges and decals are as new and all trim sections are fully intact. The underside is remarkably clean thanks to garage storage from new. Factory Peugeot Sekurit glass, supplying dealership rear number plate and rear screen sticker underline the time warp credentials.

INTERIOR
Fitted with the special edition ‘Look’ interior featuring Blue Stratos Tweed seat trim with matching door inserts, it is clear to see this low mileage example has truly been cherished. Terms such as ‘perfect’ and ‘as new’ are sometimes used loosely, however they are entirely justified in this instance. The upholstery is perfect with no wear whatsoever, and all interior trim is showroom fresh. The fascia is pristine and all controls and gauges operate seamlessly. Specially tailored ‘Look’ carpet mats are fitted too. The boot area is simply immaculate, with the painted under carpet area as new and the rear seat belt reel housings even have factory stickers still attached. Reminiscent of a 1990 Peugeot Talbot showroom car, this very special 205 is hugely nostalgic.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Fabulous, fun and spirited, this 1124cc TU1 engine produces 53bhp and is a real delight to drive. Simplistic maintenance and excellent parts availability keep running costs to a bare minimum.

Even the factory hand applied rocker cover sign-off is still clearly visible! The 4-speed gearbox is light with a positive clutch action.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

HISTORY FILE
Supplied by Peugeot Main Dealers, Carrs of Castleford, on the 2nd August 1990, first lady owner cherished her pride and joy for 25 years, where upon her passing the car was transferred to her husband. Used sparingly as a second car, the Peugeot was always kept in a heated garage and had covered a remarkably low 25,802 miles from new when KGF Classic Cars purchased the car directly from the owner’s family in 2019. The car was subsequently sold by KGF Classic Cars to a Peugeot collector in Ireland, where by pure coincidence it has since made its way back to Peterborough and we were given the opportunity to buy the car back!

All the handbooks contained in the black A5 folder remain with the car including the service book with nine stamped entries. The cambelt and water pump are documented to have been changed with less than 1,000 miles covered since and an engine service has been carried out in February 2024. Two sets of Peugeot keys, dealer keyring and the original key code tags are present as is a special edition 205 Look brochure. Named Car Magazine’s ‘Car of the Decade’ in 1990, the year this car was made, the Peugeot 205 was regarded as the benchmark for superminis for many years and this exemplary example is a fitting tribute to this accolade. An unmissable opportunity for the collector and avid Peugeot enthusiast, and perfect as a starter classic. If you wish to celebrate 40+ years of the 205 then seek no further than this beautifully preserved Look!

INTERIOR
Fitted with the special edition and uber chic ‘Junior’ interior, this ultra-low mileage example has clearly been cherished from new.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The original steel wheels still wear the factory full wheel trims which are in very good order with no cracks and only very faint hairline scratches to two of the faces.

Finished in desirable Sarge Green, (Code PGG), a colour unique to the Wrangler Anniversary Edition. This heroic example presents beautifully and is further unique in the fact that it has covered just 9,901 miles from new. The story of this Jeep gets increasingly interesting as the second of just two owners is the Proprietor of a Zoo which is privately owned yet open to the public. The owner has an eclectic collection of approximately 100 classic cars and this Jeep formed a part of the collection for some day-to-day tours in and around the zoo park and was a star attraction! The rugged body is in excellent condition and there are some small paintwork imperfections throughout, visible only on close inspection. All elements of the Dual Top roof system are in good order and fully operational and the separate unused Black Sunrider Soft Top remains in its factory packaging.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Unique 18-inch bronze finish wheels are in excellent order with virtually no markings and the rims still wear factory fitted Bridgestone Dueller 255/70 R18 tyres showing plenty of tread. The rear mounted spare tyre has never been used and still has the coloured banding within the tread. The braking system is in fine working order.

HISTORY FILE

Volvo 244GL

Written by

SORRY NOW SOLD – SIMILAR WANTED


An astonishing Volvo 244GL in original condition with just 46,574 miles.

EQUIPMENT
Front spoiler, halogen headlights, headlamp washer/wipers, day running lights, steel sliding sunroof, tinted windows, power steering, central locking, crumple zones, steel tubes welded in the doors, engine bay light, luggage compartment courtesy light, three-point inertia reel seat-belts front and rear, heated driver’s seat, bulb integrity sensor, illuminated and lockable glove compartment with a table and make-up mirror, rev counter, rear centre armrest, safety belt reminders, quartz clock, ignition/lights buzzer warning, cigar lighter. Dealer Accessories; Volvo MW/LW radio, towbar, window etching.

EXTERIOR
Metallic paint was standard on the 244GL and this stunning car is finished in Redwood Metallic, (Code 175). Volvo claimed in their 1982 literature that the average life expectancy of a Volvo is 18.7 years, 2.7 years longer than their closest rival Mercedes-Benz, and judging by the depth of shine of this unrestored car you can believe their claims! A few tiny touched-in marks and minor imperfections do not detract from the overall splendour on a car that defies its 42 years of age. All the chrome trim has a mirror finish and the large impact rubber bumpers and plastic trim are in fantastic order with a few marks. All glass is Volvo branded Templex and laminated to the front with Identicar window etching to all sections. Volvo mudflaps are still attached to all four corners and period number plates remain fitted. A real time warp example and unrivalled in many respects.

INTERIOR
The famous Volvo virtues of safety, reliability and durability are evident everywhere in this fine cabin. Upgraded Plush upholstery standard on the GL model is finished in Copper-brown and remains damage free thanks to pampered enthusiast ownership and low mileage credentials. Orthopaedic specialists helped to design the Volvo driver’s seat with lumbar support and integrated seat heating resulting in comfort and support. Passengers can enjoy one of 14 air outlets to produce efficient distribution of hot or cold air and all switch gear, controls and gauges operate including the Volvo Quartz clock and optional Volvo MW/LW radio. The boot area is very clean and still attached are stickers advising ‘how to use the jack’ to the boot lid and to ‘secure long load’ through the hatch into the cabin area. An impeccable and functional 244 interior promoting a pleasant and safe driving environment.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
New for 1982 and fitted to the 244GL was the 2.3 litre carburettor B23A in-line 4-cylinder engine. Effortless with the characteristic Volvo swoosh, it produces 112hp and works in perfect combination with the optional 3 stage torque convertor automatic transmission. Onlookers will admire the clean engine bay with all identification plates and stampings clearly visible. Even the delicate stickers remain attached such as the Volvo coolant sticker fitted to the header tank. Amazing.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The original 14in steel wheels are finished in the correct bronze tint often lost to silver shades on refurbishment and being the higher spec GL model, has the attractive chrome embellishers, all unmarked. All four corners are shod in premium Michelin 185/70 R14 tyres with plenty of tread and the spare wheel still wears the original Michelin MXL tyre. Triangle split, dual-circuit brake system and stepped bore master cylinder accompanies power assisted and ventilated disc brakes to the front and drums to the rear, bringing the car to a safe and assured halt.

HISTORY FILE
Supplied new on the 27th September 1982 to a Dr Edwin Mansell before being sold to long-term owner two years later, Mr Roger Little. Mr Little purchased the car from Brian Stevens Cars in Enfield, specialists in one owner low mileage cars for £5,795. Being the conscientious type, he opted for the Used Vehicle warranty for peace of mind and the car has remained continually garaged and used sparingly with old MOT certificates validating the low 46,574 miles. Such was his fondness and devotion for this car that a second daily vehicle was purchased so his pride and joy 244 could remain carefully stored with wheels off the ground in the heated garage! In 2019 Mr Little made the difficult decision to sell his pride and joy and KGF Classic Cars have since been privileged to find the car its third and forth owners! Sold by KGF Classic Cars in 2019 and 2021, the opportunity to have this stunning example back in the showroom will never be missed! In January 2024 a full engine and ignition service as well as cambelt and water pump has been carried out to offer total peace of mind and a ‘turn key’ purchase for the next lucky owner.

Gaining an increasing following from a new generation of buyer drawn to programmes such as Luther and Volvo traditionalists struggling to find such a pure, low mileage 200 Series, this example will be the one by which others are judged.

Originality seekers will be pleased to see the supplying dealer number plates fitted. This example will satisfy the MG fanatic seeking a low mileage and low owner cherished example with large doses of fun!

INTERIOR
Bristling with the high specification and expensive factory desirable Leather Option Pack, this example features full Black leather upholstery, (Code PUU), which is in beautiful condition commensurate with the very low mileage and pampered ownership. The cut pile carpets have been protected since new by genuine MG rubber mats. The ivory-coloured dials of the instrument binnacle with the MG logos recall traditional MG design cues and were only fitted to the early cars. The knowledgeable MG enthusiast will note the red line at 7250 rpm on the tachometer as fitted to the range topping 1.8i VVC model. All functions operate perfectly including the original MG stereo cassette. Both front and rear luggage areas are surprisingly spacious and spotless with the front housing and all factory plates and labels. Wonderful.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The desirable four-cylinder 1796cc VVC, (Variable Valve Control), engine produces 143bhp enabling a top speed of 130mph and 0-60 in just 7.0 seconds. The light weight body, mid-mounted engine and rear wheel drive configuration possesses all the correct sports car credentials to ensure optimum driver delight. A desirable and period SP Performance Super Sport exhaust system is fitted. Stephen Palmer, a name synonymous with the MGF, founded SP Performance who in conjunction with renowned exhaust manufacturer, Milltek, developed the SP system. Producing a 13bhp increase in power at 5,000, the system sounds sublime yet refined enough at motorway pace and became the bestselling MGF exhaust system upgrade. SP Performance went on to create the iconic supercharged MGF Cheetah! The short throw sports ratio five speed gearbox is light and precise.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The original 15inch VVC style alloy wheels with the MG logo are in pristine condition with no damage whatsoever. Premium brand Continental 185/55 R15 front and 205/50 R15 rear tyres have covered very few miles and the original Goodyear spare wheel which appears unused with coloured tyre banding still visible. Ventilated front discs and solid rear discs with electronic anti-lock braking fitted as standard on the MGF 1.8i VVC offer positive straight-line stopping power.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on the 22nd May 1998 by Main Dealer, Faraday Rover of Newbury, this desirable top of the range VVC model has covered just 25,404 miles from new with only two owners. A new vehicle order form and subsequent sales invoice in the history file details the optional extras and price new of £21,451.94. The first owner kept the car 24 years until 2022 and the decision by the second owner to sell the car was only prompted by his purchase from KGF Classic Cars of our one owner from new Trophy Yellow MGF Trophy 160 with 6,797 miles! Ownership in the hands of knowledgeable enthusiasts is clearly evident with a huge folder of service and maintenance invoices evidencing all work undertaken right back to when the car was new. Recent notable maintenance includes a full Hydrolastic suspension inspection and height correction in 2023, and in 2022 a full service, brake overhaul and replacement timing belts, vee belt, water pump and tensioner. The head gasket has also been replaced. All handbooks, guides and dealership point of sale literature are in the MG leather wallet along with the service book which displays multiple stamps. Two sets of MG keys with remotes and code tag are present. Completing the history file is an MGF brochure. This is a stunning example of this firmly established classic sports car.

This stunning 2002 model finished in vibrant Verona Red, (Code 024), boasts a brilliant uniform deep polished finish to the paintwork following an extensive full restoration carried out several years ago to include a full strip down of the entire shell and underside.

The gearbox is an all synchromesh 4-speed unit with smooth and direct action, a sheer joy to operate.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The standard steel rims have been upgraded with genuine dealer accessory BMW Sport Paket alloy wheels.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on the 1st April 1976, this exceptional UK example was registered by Mason Motors in Haverfordwest. The car has had just three former keepers in total and the third owner from 1986 to 2012 was responsible for undertaking the full restoration. A Motor Engineer by trade, the owner purchased the car from a friend in 1986 knowing how good it was but the intention was to make the car one of the finest in existence. A full strip down included sandblasting of the bodywork and meticulous refurbishment of components before a professional repaint in the original Verona Red. The project was finally completed in 2008 and a detailed letter in the history file from the third owner along with a photograph of him beside the car recounts the story beautifully.

A neat folder containing invoices and previous MOT certificates also contains a letter from BMW Group Classic Division confirming that the car was built on the 25th August 1975 and delivered on the 11th September 1975 to BMW Concessionaires G.B. Ltd in Brentford. The original book pack, spare keys and a BMW ‘02’ Series sales brochure completes the history file. KGF Classic Cars are proud to present this exceptional example whereby the next appreciative owner will marvel in the condition and appeal of this very special car.

Ford Escort RS Cosworth Luxury

Written by

SORRY NOW SOLD – SIMILAR WANTED

A Diamond White Ford Escort RS Cosworth Luxury with only 408 miles!

MODEL HISTORY
The Ford Escort RS Cosworth was a sports derivative and rally homologation special of the fifth generation Ford Escort. It was designed to qualify as a Group A car for the World Rally Championship. It was available as a road car from 1992-96 in limited numbers from Ford’s Specialist Vehicle Engineering, (SVE), Group. It combines the hand-assembled engine expertise of Cosworth and the coach-building crafts of Karmann. In order to accommodate the larger Cosworth engine and transmission Ford developed the car around the chassis and mechanicals of its predecessor, the Sierra Cosworth. A very rare car with only 7,145 examples being produced with this example being one of the very last. (Source Wikipedia, 1995 Edition One RS Brochure, RS Owners Club).

EQUIPMENT
Body colour front bumper with black lower extension, front air dam, louvred bonnet air intakes, wing air extraction grilles, integral driving lights and fog lights, driver airbag, central double locking, padded armrest with cassette storage, oil pressure gauge, turbo gauge, voltmeter, quartz digital clock with ambient temperature, electro-luminescent dials, Ford 2007 RDS radio/cassette. Factory Options; Luxury Model comprising of; electrically operated and heated door mirrors, ‘Quickclear’ heated windscreen, heated washer jets, three-spoke leather covered steering wheel, rear centre armrest, rear head restraints, electric sunroof, electric windows, carpeted door bins. Air conditioning.

EXTERIOR
With 200 hours detail development in Fords own Cologne wind tunnel the rally-bred innovation of this pristine example is unmistakable and outwardly exhilarating. Finished in iconic Diamond White, (Code B 2), the finish can be described as impeccable thanks to the ultra-low mileage and indoor storage. The black lower bumper extension with front air splitter has no marks. All glass, lights and trim are in perfect condition. The underside of this 408 mile example is astonishing. Labels, stickers, tags and paint dabs are visible just as it left the factory. The light application of wax applied at the Rheine Assembly Plant with a yellow tinge has never been removed and this example is absolutely the blueprint to Fords scintillating Escort RS Cosworth.

INTERIOR
The interior of this late production Escort RS Cosworth is as new and exactly as Ford intended. The body-hugging Recaro seats adorned in Hexagon Grey Cloth, (Code L9), are sublime with complete fullness. All trim, switch gear and touch points are factory fresh in part due to the incredibly low mileage but also due to the owner wrapping protective film throughout. The door cards and all carpeting is perfect. Turning on the ignition reveals all electrics operational including the Ford 2007 RDS radio/cassette and being the Luxury Edition, a full range of features are standard with the added benefit of optional air conditioning too. Incredibly special and a collectors dream come true!

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The powerful and well proven Cosworth 2.0 litre 16v turbocharged YBT engine features the Garrett T25 hybrid turbocharger. Its lower rotor inertia, higher gas velocities and revised overboost strategy reduces turbo lag and improves drivability. 220bhp is quoted with 0-60mph obliterated in 5.7 secs and a top speed of 140 mph. To offer absolute piece of mind this example has been fully recommissioned in December 2023 by Cosworth Specialists, Harvey Gibbs at Supreme Car Services. The permanent Ferguson four wheel drive system with 34/66% front/rear power split mated to a MT 75 5-speed gearbox is a proven combination.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Genuine Ford RS 8 X 16” five soft-spoke alloy wheels built by Ronal are pristine and still shod in the specially formulated and factory Pirelli P Zero tyres developed for the Escort RS Cosworth. Electrically-controlled ABS anti-lock system with two microprocessors and ventilated front and rear discs offer immense stopping power having been recently overhauled.

HISTORY FILE
This iconic Ford Escort RS Cosworth was built in December 1995 at the Rheine Assembly Plant in Germany and registered new on the 22nd January 1997. According to Ford historians, the last ever Escort RS Cosworth was also built in November 1995 and left the Karman factory on 12 January 1996 with chassis number SP93313, (unfortunely this car has now been stolen). Still registered to the Ford Motor Company, this would make this one registered keeper with minuscule mileage, one of the very last few made!

Purchased by Rodney Fletcher, Proprietor of Rod Allen Cars at a Ford Closed Sale held by National Car Auctions on the 24th March 1997. The vehicle had covered 24 miles at this point as printed on the Lot sheet. Mr Fletcher covered 352 miles on Trade Plates before deciding to place it at the rear of his showroom surrounded by wall mirrors and marked up at a healthy £32,995. Knowing it was one of the last produced and no new examples were to be made, there it remained until March 2006 when a Ford enthusiast purchased it. The Used Car Sales Invoice reveals the purchase price of £32,995 along with two important letters. One from Rod Allen Cars asking the new owner not to modify or alter the original specification in anyway and if stored correctly and unused he would buy it back minus 10%. The other letter dated 31st March 2006 from Chris Shambrook, Manager Auction Sales at the Ford Motor Co, stating his predecessor, Mr David Berry, ‘remembers selling the white Cosworth at which time it had covered a nominal distance of twenty four miles’. At the point of sale in March 2006 the vehicle was fully serviced as evidenced in the history file and had its first MOT with 353 miles.

The new owner had one further MOT in 2007 when the car had covered 378 miles before wrapping the car in protective film and placing it in storage. As an Associate Member of the RS Owners Club, offers would arrive over the years but were declined until KGF Classic Cars were contacted in November 2022. Eventually we were successful in purchasing the car in November 2023! Now fully prepared to the exacting KGF Classic Cars meticulous standards and fully recommissioned by one of the country’s leading Cosworth Specialists, Harvey Gibbs of Supreme Car Services. The original book pack is present along with three keys including the red master, the car is perfect in every way and represents one of the most original, lowest mileage examples worldwide.
