SOLD: The 2006 Light Car Company Rocket has found its next custodian.

One of the final Rockets ever built, this example combined extraordinary originality, low mileage and Gordon Murray’s uncompromising vision of what a driver’s car should be. At just 385 kilos and with 380 brake horsepower per tonne, it remains one of the most focused and lightest road cars ever made.

With only 47 Rockets produced, it’s a rare moment when one becomes available.

We could have sold this car several times over and are now actively looking for a similar example for stock. If you’re considering selling a Rocket, or something equally special, we’d love to hear from you.

Congratulations to the new owner.

This week marks 100 years since Sir Malcolm Campbell set a new land speed record at Pendine Sands in the iconic Blue Bird.

To mark the centenary, Blue Bird returned to the very stretch of sand where history was made, a poignant reminder of Britain’s remarkable engineering and motorsport heritage.

The Pendine sands have long been associated with record-breaking ambition and innovation. At Pendine Historic Cars, we’re proud to share a name with a place that has played such an important role in automotive history.

FOR SALE: 2006 Light Car Company Rocket

This weekend at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the incredible 60-year career of Gordon Murray is being celebrated. Known for the McLaren F1 and a lifetime of innovation in Formula One, it’s the perfect time to highlight one of his purest and most focused creations - the Light Car Company Rocket.

The Rocket is all about lightness, simplicity and driving joy. Weighing just 385 kilos, it’s the lightest production car ever made. To put that in perspective, it’s less than half the weight of a classic Mini.

Powered by a 1000cc Yamaha superbike engine, it uses a concentric sequential gearbox, Formula 3 brakes and bespoke suspension to deliver an astonishing 380 brake horsepower per tonne. It’s a road legal car that feels like a race car, and even manages to carry a tandem passenger.

Just 47 Rockets were ever built, making it twice as rare as the McLaren F1. This one, chassis R042 R004, is from the final batch completed between 2006 and 2011. Delivered new to a private collector in Japan, it’s covered just 4,500 kilometres from new and has had only two owners.

Recently serviced by the Light Car Company and in exceptional condition, this Rocket is everything a collector could want, rare, original, and built by one of the greatest automotive minds of all time.

Now available for viewing at our Bicester Motion showroom.

FOR SALE: 1962 BENTLEY S2 CONTINENTAL

Believed to be the most highly specified Bentley S2 Continental in existence, with unmatched history and paperwork.

Commissioned in 1961 by Lieutenant Colonel Stuart ‘Tim’ Pitman and his wife Cynthia, this Bentley S2 Continental is a remarkable example of post-war British craftsmanship and society life. The Pitmans were prominent figures in the Cotswolds, known for their sporting pursuits and lavish entertaining. Lt-Col Pitman, a decorated WWII veteran and director of the family publishing firm ‘Pitman’, ordered the car in his regimental colours with meticulous detail. Cynthia, born at Shotover Park and sister to the Queen’s equerry, brought her own flair, ensuring the car was both elegant and practical.

Coachbuilt by James Young, the car was tailored with 51 unique sub-orders – from Irvin Parachute Company seatbelts to a second fuel gauge for the benefit of pump attendants. The velvet green paintwork, accented with red and gold pinstripes, remains the original colour scheme, beautifully restored in a 1990 bare-metal respray.

Inside, the hand-trimmed leather, walnut, and bespoke fittings define luxury. The interior was faithfully re-trimmed during the restoration by Gary H Wright at a cost of over £11,000, and remains wonderfully patinated today.

Mechanically, the car is exceptional. A full service history dating from 1962 is documented in 10 bound volumes, covering every detail of its maintenance. It underwent a full engine rebuild in 1990 and a comprehensive £36,000 chassis overhaul by Clarke & Carter, including all moving parts. Recent maintenance includes a September 2024 inspection and May 2025 service at Classic Collective in Bicester.

With only two family owners since new, and a history file rivalled by few, this must surely be the most highly specified Bentley S2 Continental in existence.
