Dore and Rees Wilton House sale at Concours des Légendes brings lots to tempt

Words: Nathan Chadwick

There’s already plenty to take in at the Concours des Légendes near Salisbury on June 9-21, 2026, but if the automotive delights on show aren’t enough and you’re looking for something else for the garage, the Dore and Rees Wilton House sale has a diverse range of cars on offer.

It’s led by the truly unique Aston Martin Bertone Jet 2+2, but first let’s dive into the 43-lot selection to conjure some highlights.

This 1972 Lancia Fulvia Series II 1600 Sport Zagato is chassis 818.750001632, a left-hand-drive example registered in France as 113 MKL 75. Its recorded mileage is approximately 16,500km. The car was restored in the early 2000s for the then owner of the main Morgan Motor Company dealership in Paris. The work was carried out by Lancia specialists Atelier Reve and Xavier Bouron, with supporting invoices on file.

It was later purchased directly from the Parisian dealer by the current vendors and joined a private collection in the UK. In 2022, it was sent to Omicron Engineering for inspection and remedial work at its current mileage. The resulting invoice totals £11,730 and covers a new wiring loom, electrical work, timing adjustment, fuel-system work, carburettor rebuilds, a new fuel pump, leak correction, steering adjustment, brake adjustment and bleeding, repainting of the boot area and repainting one door. The car is supplied on French title documents, and is estimated at between £30k and £40k at the Dore and Rees Wilton House sale 2026.

This 1958 AC Ace-Bristol is chassis BEX406, delivered new to British Columbia Sportcars in Canada in February 1958, originally finished in Svecia Red with black leather. It returned to the UK in 1990 through AC specialist Brian Classic, having originally been left-hand drive before conversion to right-hand-drive specification.

It was then acquired by C Cadogan-Rawlinson of Suffolk, an AC Owners’ Club member. During this ownership, the engine was rebuilt by TT Workshops of Wiltshire with a reground and nitrided crankshaft, fresh liners, pistons, valves, timing chain, oil pump and camshaft bearings. Cadogan-Rawlinson kept the car for 18 years before it passed in 2009 to Mr O’Connell, who commissioned further engine, clutch and gearbox work by Nick Finburg ahead of use in the 2010 Spa 6 Hours, Dijon-Prenois and the Sir Stirling Moss Trophy at the Silverstone Classic.

The previous owner acquired the car in 2013 and used it on road rallies and at the 60th anniversary ACOC race at Silverstone in 2014. Around ten years ago it received further mechanical work to the suspension, rear axle, brakes, steering, fuelling, cooling, ignition, starter motor and alternator. Now finished in silver, BEX406 retains its original D-series engine, original gearbox with overdrive and body stampings on the bonnet and boot, and comes with a removable hard-top. It’s covered 45,950 miles and is estimated at between £200k and £250k at the Dore and Rees Wilton House sale 2026.

This 1975 Ferrari 208 GT4 is chassis 11468, an Italian-registered example showing 97,600km, or approximately 61,000 miles. It’s still fitted with black Roma number plates.

The car was formerly part of the Maranello Rosso Ferrari collection owned by Fabrizio Violati. It arrived in the UK around ten years ago and was largely stored before receiving major service and recommissioning work in 2021, costing £9000. The 2021 work included a full engine service and tune, replacement belts, fluids and filters, rectification of engine oil leaks, replacement of the steering rack, driveshaft stripping, new CV boots and brake overhaul. A new fuel pump and fuel hoses were also fitted, while the electrical system was tested and faults were addressed as required. The paintwork was refreshed where necessary after the mechanical work was completed. Further work in current ownership included a new windscreen, with costs totalling £4600. At the Dore and Rees Wilton House sale 2026 it is estimated at between £40k and £50k.

This 2006 Ford GT Roush/Hennessey 1000RE car was originally one of around ten Ford GTs upgraded by Roush Europe in association with UK importer Avro Motor Cars as 600RE models. That work raised output to more than 600bhp and included supercharger modifications, a freer-flowing Tubi exhaust, an uprated transmission-oil cooler, 600RE door graphics, door-sill covers and a centre-console plaque.

After around a year in UK ownership, this car was further modified by Hennessey. The later specification added twin turbochargers running at approximately 18.5psi, an increased rev limit and a special turbo-back exhaust. The auction description states output of 1000bhp and 856lb ft of torque, with quoted performance figures of 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 235mph.

In around 2011, the car suffered unrecorded minor front and rear damage, which was professionally repaired before it entered storage. Since joining the current collection, it has been dry stored and not driven on the road, although it has been started and warmed regularly. The auction description notes that recommissioning is expected before regular use, and that the car remains on its original tyres. Sitting on 5900 miles, it is estimated at between £270k and £320k at the Dore and Rees Wilton House sale 2026.

This 1972 Datsun 240Z is an original UK-supplied right-hand-drive example, with matching chassis and engine numbers, and it shows a recorded mileage of 85,288 miles. The car was restored in 2018, with photographs, invoices and service records documenting the work. It was refinished in Old English White following a bare-metal respray that included the engine bay, and also received undersealing and Waxoyl protection.

The interior retains original instrumentation, switchgear and trim panels, with replacement carpets, headlining and seat covers. It is fitted with refurbished period Wolfrace Slotmag alloy wheels, restored using a ceramic vapour-blasting process that preserved the original cast detailing and manufacturer markings. Mechanical work includes a stainless-steel sports exhaust, upgraded ignition components, a new radiator, replacement oil and temperature senders and other maintenance items. An electric power steering system has also been installed, with the original components retained. It has recently received an oil and spark plug service. Having covered 85,288 miles, it is estimated at between £45k and £50k.

This 1999 Ferrari F355 F1 Spider finished in Argento Nürburgring with a blue hood and Nero leather interior. It is equipped with the Carbon Interior Package, carbonfibre F1 gearshift paddles and a Tubi exhaust system.

It has been in single enthusiast ownership since March 2003. The accompanying history file records maintenance by Ferrari main dealers and marque specialists including Graypaul Ferrari, Ferrari Swindon, Lancaster Ferrari, Bob Houghton, McGurk Performance, Keys Motorsport and Migliore Cars. Recorded work includes cambelt services, clutch and F1 hydraulic actuator replacement, cooling-system repairs, suspension work, gearbox and engine ancillary work, roof-mechanism attention, brake-system refurbishment and replacement of age-related components.

Recent work includes a major annual service and cambelt replacement in December 2024, replacement brake pipes and drive belts, alternator replacement in January 2025 and new tyres in June 2025. An oil service, RAC 86-point inspection and health check were completed in May 2026, and the next cambelt service is stated as due in 2027. Having covered 22,985 miles, it is estimated at between £85k and £100k.

This 1970 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV came to the UK from Italy some years ago and was first UK registered to designer, writer and TV presenter Kevin McCloud. It was later sold to the owner of AutoClassico, whose team restored the car with the brief of retaining an original visual appearance while improving performance and handling.

The body was stripped to bare metal and fitted with new rear wings, rear bulkhead, front and rear floor pans, a spare-wheel well and other required panels. The shell was primed and painted inside and out, with protective stone-chip coating applied underneath before lacquering. The original 1750 engine was retained and rebuilt to 2.0-litre specification with 10.6:1 compression pistons, reground and balanced crankshaft, rebuilt cylinder head, larger valves, high-lift camshafts, new Weber carburettors, GTA air intakes plus an Alfaholics stainless manifold and exhaust. The rebuilt engine was tested at 165bhp at 5000rpm while still being run in.

The gearbox and rear axle were rebuilt, with Alfaholics discs and calipers, new fuel and brake lines, uprated Alfaholics suspension, anti-roll bar and 15-inch GTA-type alloys with Avon tyres. The battery was relocated to the boot above the rear axle.

The interior was refurbished with black retrimmed seats, Alcantara-trimmed dash, grey carpets, bespoke door cards, new headlining, electric windows, alloy dash panels, Momo Prototipo steering wheel and USB socket. The removed bumpers are supplied with the car. Invoices exceed £60,000 in parts and services, excluding AutoClassico’s labour. It shows 2876km since restoration and is estimated at between £50k and £70k.

This 1961 AC Aceca Bristol is the third from last Bristol-engined Aceca built. It was acquired new from AC Cars in May 1961 by Patrick Eggar of south-west England, having been ordered from the AC stand at the 1960 British Motor Show for his wife Angela. It was specified in Guardsman metallic blue with black leather upholstery. The Eggar family kept the car for around 18 years before it passed in late 1979 to its second local owner at 35,000 miles.

A year later, the Aceca was sold to a new keeper in London. In 1981 it moved to Scotland with Reggie McSpadden, who traded the car two years later with Isaac Agnew of Darlington. Four years after that, the AC was sold by Paul Michaels of Hexagon in London to Michael Peckitt of Cheltenham. Peckitt carried out a number of jobs on the car over a seven-year period and covered around 6000 miles before selling it to Graham Brice of Maidstone, Kent. Two further owners are recorded before it joined the current owner’s collection in 2007.

Since 2008, major servicing has been handled by Spencer Lane-Jones of Warminster. In current ownership, the Bristol engine was rebuilt to fast-road specification by Stanton Motorsport, with a balanced and nitrided crankshaft, Cosworth pistons and rings, high-torque camshaft, ceramic-coated cam followers, pushrods, valves and guides, vernier cam wheel, oil cooler and uprated clutch. The rebuilt engine was dyno tested for eight hours and recorded 154bhp at 5700rpm and 144lb ft at 4500rpm. The car also has an overdrive unit, Aldon electronic ignition and uprated lights. It has covered 73,000 miles and is estimated at between £100k and £120k at the Dore and Rees Wilton House sale 2026.

This 2013 Aston Martin Bertone Jet 2+2 is a one-off shooting brake conversion based on the Aston Martin Rapide. The car was commissioned in 2012 by Aston Martin collector Barry Weir and created by Bertone as a shooting brake interpretation of the Rapide. It was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and later displayed at Aston Martin’s Centenary Celebrations at Kensington Palace alongside the 1961 Bertone Jet and the 2004 Jet 2.

The project was endorsed by Aston Martin Lagonda and was considered for a limited run of ten cars, but Bertone ceased operations in 2014 and this remained the only completed Jet 2+2. The body conversion includes an extended roofline, revised rear proportions and a full-length dimmable panoramic glass roof. The rear seats fold flat electronically to increase load space.

The interior is trimmed in Cream Truffle and Obsidian Black leather, with custom wood and chrome finishes, while the front seats were redesigned to improve rear legroom. The car retains the Rapide’s 6.0-litre V12, rated at 476bhp and 443lb ft of torque, with a quoted 0-62mph time of 5.3 seconds. It has covered 24,469 miles and is estimated at between £250k and £350k.

This 2014 Ferrari 458 Spider is finished in Nero Daytona over Nero leather with contrasting white stitching. Its factory specification includes carbonfibre racing seats, a carbonfibre steering wheel with LED shift lights, carbonfibre dashboard trim, instrument binnacle and centre console, Scuderia Ferrari shields, Giallo Modena brake calipers and 20-inch forged alloy wheels.

Additional equipment includes sports tailpipes, front and rear parking sensors, rear parking camera, electrochromic mirrors, a white tachometer, tyre-pressure monitoring system and Ferrari navigation and infotainment system. The car has a documented service history with Ferrari main dealers and marque specialists including Ferrari London, Graypaul and Meridian Modena. In October 2025, Ferrari London carried out work totalling approximately £10,000, including an annual service, gearbox and DCT oil changes, brake-fluid and coolant replacement, brake-caliper renewal and roof-trim replacement.

Further work in May 2026 totalled approximately £8000 and included an annual service, health check, front tub repairs, underbody restoration, alloy-wheel refurbishment, front parking-sensor repairs and paint correction. The car remained under Ferrari warranty until March 2026, with renewal stated as subject to inspection. It is sitting on 45,714 miles and is estimated at between £120k and £145k at the Dore and Rees Wilton House sale 2026.
