A rare Jack Chalker ( British Born 1918 ) bronze bust study of a child being raised on a large wooden plinth. Bearing notation to the base for the Royal Bath & West Show exhibit No 67 Jack Chalker, who has died aged 96, was a British artist who drew and painted the atrocities he witnessed as a prisoner of war on the Burma-Siam Railway, also known as the “Death Railway”. Made famous by Pierre Boulle’s book (and David Lean’s film) The Bridge on the River Kwai, the railway is now a byword for war crimes. More than 12,000 Allied prisoners perished during its construction, along with at least 90,000 Asian labourers On Chalker’s release in 1945 he joined the Australian Army HQ in Bangkok as a war artist; some of his work was used in evidence at the Tokyo war trials. On his return to England he resumed his studies, graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1951. For more than a decade after his repatriation he could not sleep properly. Nor could he look at his drawings and paintings: it would take 40 years for him to take his works out of the box in which they were stored. In 1950, after teaching History of Art at Cheltenham Ladies’ College he became principal of Falmouth College of Art and, in 1957, principal of West of England College of Art, where he remained until his retirement in the mid-1980 Measures: 88cms high x 122cms wide x 9cms deep.

1964 Ferrari 330 GT Nembo Spider - Widely regarded as the fourth and final Nembo Spider not to mention the only RHD car and the sole 330-series 4-litre V12 powered example- Commissioned from and reconfigured by Giorgio Neri (the 'Ne' of Nembo)- The jewel in the crown of the late Richard Allen's collection since 1992 (Mr Allen was chairman of the Ferrari Owners' Club of Great Britain for many years)- Offered for sale at No Reserve to benefit the East Anglian Air Ambulance Service'Here is a car of such elegance that I defy anyone to suggest that it doesn't belong up there with the greatest works of the greatest Renaissance masters. It is a truly exceptional thing, as near to perfection as makes no odds' (Malcolm Thorne on chassis 5805, Classic & Sportscar magazine, March 2017)Who or What were Nembo?Nembo was essentially Giorgio Neri and Luciano Bonacini. They collaborated with Tom Meade over various re-bodied sports and racing cars but continued to use the Nembo moniker after the American entrepreneur became engrossed with his self-referential Thomassima designs. Members of Maserati's competition department during the 1950s and therefore witnesses to Fangio's F1 championship winning 1957 season, Neri and Bonacini were used to delivering 'miracles' on a shoestring budget. Well respected in Modenese automotive circles, their peers included Giotto Bizzarrini and Piero Drogo. Indeed, they are credited with introducing the former to Ferruccio Lamborghini and were responsible for not only building the tractor magnate's prototype 350 GTV but also fabricating his nascent marque's earliest chassis. Engineers as well as craftsmen, they helped run Count Volpi's Scuderia Serenissima and hone the famous Ferrari 250 GT SWB 'Breadvan'. A safe pair of 'go to' hands, they undertook a series of one-off commissions such as the Lamborghini 400 GT 'Monza' and Nembo II (the latter being profiled in the August 1966 issue of Road & Track magazine). Perhaps frustrated with making others look good, the duo decided to build and market their own sports car. Christened the Studio GT Due Litri, the resultant mid-engined two-seater proved a bridge too far prompting a divorce in late 1967 with Neri going to work for De Tomaso and Bonacini joining Drogo's Carrozzeria Sports Cars. Neri subsequently set-up on his own and it is perhaps no small irony that a man who helped Maserati achieve some of its greatest racing victories went on to create what is, in our eyes at least, one of the most beautiful coachbuilt Ferraris ever made.H&H are indebted to renowned Ferrari historian and author Keith Bluemel for the following description:This unique Ferrari automobile, chassis 5805, started life as a standard specification 1964 right hand drive 330 GT 2+2 model, that was sold new to a Mr Bill Knott of Poole in Dorset, who had it UK registered on his personal licence plate 'BK 47'. He was the founder of the Bluebird Caravan Company which was at one time the world's second largest producer. He was also a keen golfer and sailor in his powerboat, with a fine collection of performance and luxury cars in his garage. As an aside, interestingly he was a keen supporter of the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution), whom were the beneficiaries of the proceeds of the earlier H&H auction of the late Richard Colton's Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta, chassis 1995 GT and 275 GTB/4 Berlinetta, chassis 10177.Some 25 years later the car had seen better days, and a Sussex based Ferrari enthusiast, who revelled in the power and torque afforded by his similarly powered Ferrari 4 litre GTO, had the idea of turning it into an elegant spider in the style of the "Nembo" spiders produced in the mid sixties. The original company, Neri & Bonacini, had ceased trading in 1967, but Giorgio Neri (the "Ne" of Nembo) still had a workshop in Modena, and was approached to rebuild 5805 in the form of the spiders that he and Luciano Bonacini had built in the sixties for an American client, resident in Modena, Tom Meade, who gained worldwide attention with his Ferrari based Thomassima creations in the late sixties.In fact they built two spiders, one on a Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet, chassis # 1777 GT, and another on a Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta, chassis # 3771 GT, plus a coupe on a Ferrari 250 GT Coupe, chassis # 1623 GT, all with similar lines, for him and his clients. There are rumours of a third spider, reportedly built on a 250 GTE, chassis # 2707 GT, allegedly delivered to Lebanon, but this has never been seen, and is thus unconfirmed. Some quarters say that "Nembo" was a compilation of the names Neri, Meade and Bonacini, but the name was also that of the 184th Airborne Division of the Italian Army in WW II, and also a popular Italian comic book hero of the time, the 'Nembo Kid' (actually Superman re-branded). Nembo translated into English is Nimbus, as in the type of cloud, and as clouds are a place of dreams, as in "head in the clouds", all are viable reasons for the name. The Nembo spiders have also been credited as having provided Luigi Chinetti with the inspiration for the small series of, the now highly desirable, 275 GTB/4 "NART" Spiders, that he persuaded Ferrari to build in 1967-68.As previously mentioned the reworking and re-body of 5805 was commissioned by a British Ferrari enthusiast, providing Giorgio Neri with a remit to shorten the chassis frame, retaining all the original mechanical components, including the 4 litre V12 engine, transmission and running gear, and to provide a new aluminium spider body in the style of those constructed in the mid sixties. Each had slightly different features, thus each is a unique example of the company's craft, as would become 5805, which would also be the only right hand drive example produced, albeit some 25 years after the original examples. The two-seater aluminium coachwork was crafted to a very high standard as an examination of its inner wheel arches will attest. There are a number of pictures of 5805 during its construction at Giorgio Neri's workshop in the car's file, which show the aluminium body during stages of construction. Unfortunately, at a stage when it was approaching completion, aside from its windscreen, brightwork, hood and various inner panels, the then owner of 5805 had financial problems, and didn't have sufficient funds to complete the project, or pay for outstanding works, thus the car remained in storage at Giorgio Neri's, until Richard Allen arrived on the scene...Click here for the full catalogue description.

c.1941 Willys MB Jeep 'O.A.R.E.' - A former US Armed Forces Jeep that was overhauled and modified by O.A.R.E. in Bologna immediately after WW2 - Imported from Italy in 2015 and used at last September's Goodwood Revival - Running and driving but would benefit from further recommissioning / restoration - The Italian Army decommissioned its final six Jeep-O.A.R.Es (O.A.R.E. standing for Army Auto Repair Workshop) in December 2003 At the cessation of WWII hostilities, mainland Europe was littered with military hardware of various nationalities. This included many examples of the ubiquitous Jeep abandoned by the allied forces. Some of those left in Italy were subsequently converted to the Italian army's unique specification by the 'O.A.R.E.' (Army Auto Repair Workshop) and the Willys MB now being offered is an example that remained in Italy until imported to these shores just two years ago. Though, like most that received the 'O.A.R.E.' treatment, the sale Jeep has been largely converted back to original specification, it still displays traces of the hinge mountings for the metal doors that were added, as well as Italian dashboard plaques with information about permissible speeds, the operation of the four-wheel drive transmission etc. The vehicle was most recently used at last September's Goodwood Revival meeting and, though running and driving, it would nevertheless benefit from a degree of further recommissioning/restoration.

A Second China War medal to Sapper Frederick Richardson, 8th Company Royal Engineers, no clasp (SAPPER FREDK. RICHARDSON. 8TH C. ROYAL ENGRS), officially impressed, light scratching and knocks but little wear, therefore nearly extremely fine. Although not entitled to a clasp for any of the major successful actions of the war, this man belonged to the small Army contingent present at the disastrous amphibious assault on the Taku Forts on June 25th 1859. The forts at the mouth of the Peiho river were critical in that they controlled access to Teinsin, and ultimately to Pekin. The British had captured them earlier in the war, and a treaty had been concluded which was awaiting Imperial ratification. Frustrated at the prevarication of the Chinese, British and French diplomats were conveyed north by the Royal Navy in an attempt to approach Pekin directly. They found that the Peiho River defences had been strengthened, and seeing that the Chinese meant to deny them access, the Navy attempted a landing, which was thwarted by thick mud and spirited opposition. 25 men of the 8th, including Richardson, had been attached to the 10th Company R.E., and served as riflemen and ladder bearers during this otherwise exclusively Naval action. Offered with research.

There is no 'off-time' on the Peninsula, and the firing goes on forever........I am in command of C Company now, Major Fielding being killed the second day whilst talking to me.....
