Registration No: CBJ 699Chassis No: 257492MOT: ExemptFirst registered in East Suffolk and seemingly still resident there until being acquired by the current registered keeper in 1972The subject of much past restoration work and nicely detailed throughoutStablemate to the Austin Seven Nippy in this sale for the past forty-nine years! Issued with the number plate ‘CBJ 699’ on 5th March 1937 by East Suffolk County Council, this delightful Austin Seven Ruby appears to have remained in the same county until 1972 when the current registered keeper bought it. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, the four-seater boasts such niceties as a sliding sunroof, rear view mirror with embedded clock, opening windscreen and logoed running boards. Having spent the past forty-nine years garaged alongside the Austin Seven Nippy in this same auction, it would seem a shame to split them up. Offered for sale with continuation green logbook and V5C Registration Document. Brainchild of Herbert Austin and Stanley Edge, the Austin Seven looked almost impossibly small when launched in 1922. Occupying the same 'footprint' as a motorcycle and sidecar combination, it nevertheless boasted all the advantages of a 'full-size' motor car. Responsible for helping motorise Britain while simultaneously sounding the cyclecar industry's death knell, the baby Austin was brilliantly yet simply engineered. Based around an 'A-frame' chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and a spiral bevel back axle, it was powered by a sewing machine-esque 747cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine allied to three-speed (later four-speed) manual transmission. Introduced in July 1934, the Ruby Saloon was one of a series of models designed to rejuvenate the Seven. Visually distinguished by its smooth radiator cowling, hinged bonnet vents and curved back (incorporating a spare wheel cover), the newcomer combined a la mode styling with circa 50mph performance and laudable fuel economy. A strong sales success, the Ruby remained a staple part of the Seven range until production ceased in 1939.

Registration No: W779 PFM Chassis No: WDB2153752A006253 MOT: September 2022Only 73,715 miles from new and six former keepersOffered with book pack including stamped service bookWell-specified from new with options including ‘Keyless Go’5-litre V8 (quoted 302bhp/339lbft) with automatic transmissionIntroduced in 1992, the CL Class was the coupe derivative of the S-Class saloon powered by a range of power plants including a 5.0 V8 as offered here. Many consider this unit one of the all-time best that Mercedes have produced. With better handling due to a lighter front end than its V12 siblings, 0-62mph was achieved in 6.1 seconds with a potential autobahn-storming top speed of 155mph.Manufactured in 2000, the CL 500 was registered in the UK on the 5th of May 2000 and is fitted with the 4966cc V8 engine mated the five-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Circon Green paintwork with Saffron leather interior upholstery, the Mercedes-Benz has covered just 73,715 miles (at time of consignment), with six former keepers. ‘W779 PFM’ was well-specified from new with features including wooden gear selector, keyless go, multi-contour front seats, CD changer, heated screen wash system and xenon headlights.‘W779 PFM’ is offered with the original book pack with owners manual and stamped service book displaying nine entries along with additional service invoices in the history file.

Registration No: PDY 508R Chassis No: FH87589 MOT: September 2022Comprehensively restored between 2006 and 2008Entered current ownership in 2015Uprated with a five-speed manual gearboxOffered with a history file including a pictural record of the restorationEvolving through five guises over the course of an eighteen-year production run, the final Spitfire variant, the 1500, arrived in 1974. With a reputed 71bhp and 82lbft of torque on tap from its 1493cc OHV four-cylinder engine, the newcomer boasted genuine 100mph performance. Visually indistinguishable from its MKIV forebear save for some minor trim differences, the Spitfire 1500 was a decent seller on both sides of the Atlantic and the model remained in production until August 1980.This Spitfire 1500 was manufactured in 1977 and was UK-supplied, being first registered in the UK on the 1st of July 1977. Fitted with the 1493cc straight-four engine, the engine was originally mated to the four-speed manual gearbox although the transmission was changed to a five-speed Sierra Type 9 gearbox with revised bell housing when the car was restored approximately fifteen years previous. The restoration additionally included an overhauled chassis, body removal with many welding repairs (with new rear wings, sills, floor sections, door skins and rear valance) followed by a repaint in the Inca Yellow it is presented in today (from the original Green). The Triumph was further subject to an engine overhaul; reconditioned steering rack, renewed brakes with GT6 front calipers; poly-bushed front suspension with the whole car lowered by 20mm; and various new additional items such as reconditioned twin-SU HS2 carburettors and much more.With a recorded mileage of 10,701 miles (at time of consignment) which equates to a total of 110,701 miles, the Spitfire has been in current ownership since 2015. Further benefitting from new electronic ignition and fan while with the vendor, the carburettors have also been provided new needles. ‘PDY 508R’ is offered with a history file which comprises a photo album and digital record of the restoration; a large selection of past MOTs dating back to the 1990s; a vast collection of previous invoices and current V5C.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: L599 ATTChassis No: SALLDVAF7KA925533MOT: NoneA rewarding project in need of restorationFitted with the 2.5-litre Tdi engineOffered with V5C document7 former keepers shown on HPIThe Land Rover was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production of the traditional Defender only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel-drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin. The Defender was fitted with an all-new 2.5-litre, five-cylinder in-line turbo/diesel engine and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

Registration No: WPE 60YChassis No: SAJJNAEW3BC107812MOT: February 2022A truly exceptional example which even retains the factory stickers on its seat belt tongues!Extensive history file includes the Pre Delivery Inspection Report, first MOT certificate and original service invoices etcZiebart treated when new with a glorious, untouched interior Arguably the most complete grand tourer of its generation, the XJ-S's ride / handling balance remains impressive to this day. Fitted with nicely damped coil-sprung suspension, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and potent four-wheel disc brakes, elements of its design were bequeathed to both the Jaguar XK8 and Aston Martin DB7. Though, sadly neither inherited its legendary 5343cc V12 engine. Rated at 295bhp and 320lbft of torque in its later guises, this superlative unit was mated to three-speed automatic transmission as standard. Said to be capable of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds, for many the ultimate XJS variant remains the first series V12 Coupe.This XJ-S is truly exceptional. Not only has the Jaguar been in single family ownership and covered a mere 17,000 miles from new but it also exhibits a rare degree of originality both in terms of the vehicle itself and the accompanying paperwork. How many other thirty-nine year old vehicles have you encountered that still have the original factory stickers present on their seatbelt tongues? Supplied new by Wadham Stringer of Guildford to Mrs Irene Richards, ‘WPE 60Y’ pleasingly retains its original order form, sales invoice, Super Cover document, Ziebart treatment certificate and Pre-Delivery Inspection report. Finished in the gorgeous combination of Sapphire Blue Metallic with Biscuit leather upholstery, the 2+2-seater’s interior remains a delight with a notable lack of wear to the trim and lustrous wood veneers. Sparingly used but well looked after, main dealer service sheets on file are augmented by invoices for a new water pump, hose kit and air-conditioning conversion etc (to more modern R134a refrigerant) not to mention a factory recall for the fuel and ignition systems. Recently recommissioned following a period of inactivity, ‘WPE 60Y’ started readily and ran very well during our recent photography session. Riding on its original starfish alloys, this very special XJ-S would grace any marque collection.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: EUK 2JChassis No: GHH5226012GMOT: T.B.A.Comprehensively restored from 2006-2021 using a brand new Heritage bodyshell at a cost of nearly £33,000Subtly upgraded with a hi-torque starter motor, unleaded cylinder head, K&N air filters, Minilite-style alloys and electronic ignition etcNumerous bills on file from the MGB Hive and MechSpec MG Centre etc First registered in Wolverhampton on February 2nd 1971 (or so its ‘EUK 2J’ number plate would imply), this very smartly presented MG B Roadster shows just two former keepers on the accompanying V5C Registration Document. Entering the current ownership in 2006, the two-seater was painstakingly restored over the next fifteen years utilising a brand-new Heritage bodyshell. The engine was re-bored and fitted with a new timing chain, pistons, bearings and seals etc plus an unleaded cylinder head. The fuel, brake, steering and suspension systems were all overhauled with new or refurbished parts as necessary. The wiring was renewed and the interior re-trimmed. Subtly enhanced with a stainless steel exhaust, hi-torque starter motor, Lumenition electronic ignition, Evans waterless coolant and K&N air filters, ‘EUK 2J’ rides on Minilite-style alloy wheels. The work is understood to have cost nearly £33,000 and as a result the MG B Roadster is described by the vendor as being in ‘excellent overall’ condition with regards to its 1.8 litre engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Worthy of close inspection and offered for sale with handbook and history file (the latter containing numerous invoices from MGB Hive and MechSpec MG Centre etc).Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: J123 RFJChassis No: WP022294ZMN430787MOT: June 2022This desirable manual car presented in Alpine White with blue contrasting leather interiorIn current family ownership for the last 25 years and just 4 former keepers on the v5 documentOffered with just 92,922 miles on the odometer Introduced in 1989, the Porsche 944 S2 was powered by a 3-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission. With a quoted 208bhp and 207lbft of torque on tap, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and 150mph. The first open-topped 944 derivative - the S2 Cabriolet - featured a body built by the American Sunroof Company (ASC) of Weinsberg, Germany and many of the same styling cues as its Coupe sibling. Just 5,656 944 S2 Cabriolets were made before the model was superseded by the 968 in 1991.Presented in Alpine White with contrasting blue leather interior and hood, J123 RFJ has been in current family ownership for the last 25 years. Currently displaying just 92,922 miles, this particular example also benefits from just 4 former keepers displayed on the V5 document; one of which being the owner’s late husband. A desirable manual example, J123 RFJ has recently benefited from a service including a replacement fuel pump and comes accompanied with the original bookpack including the service book which shows services every year bar one from 1992 until 2006 at 89,873 miles. The car was then stored shortly after until June of 2021 when it received another service at 92,898 miles. As well as this, a number of previous invoices, MOTs dating back to 1996, and more. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, transmission and interior trim all as ‘Very Good’.Introduced in 1989, the Porsche 944 S2 was powered by a 3-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission.

Registration No: DLW 654Chassis No: B191HMMOT: ExemptSupplied new to Miss Durand of London and more recently part of a large, private collection for three decadesThe subject of a chassis-up, bare metal, photographically documented restoration during the early 1990sStructurally very sound, cosmetically imperfect and in need of further mechanical recommissioning (c.£7,700 spent in 2019-20)Originally ordered by Jack Barclay Ltd of Mayfair for stock, chassis B191HM was supplied new to Miss Durand of Kensington & Chelsea. The work of esteemed firm Vanden Plas, its decidedly elegant, Pillarless Sports Saloon coachwork (body number 3503) cost some £395 alone. Intended for ‘town work and touring’, the Bentley was specified with a sunroof, Philco car radio, slightly angled gear and handbrake levers and louvres that extended from the bonnet into the scuttle. Miss Durand’s custodianship was comparatively fleeting but Jack Barclay Ltd certainly developed an affinity for the car re-selling it in 1938 and 1947 (copies of the showroom blurb on each occasion remain on file). Having bought ‘DLW 654’ when it was twenty months old, Ernest Thornton-Smith Esq. of Queen Anne’s Gate, SW1 (and later Soho Square) covered a substantial mileage during his nine-year tenure increasing the odometer reading from 15,000 to over 100,000 miles. Such extensive usage during World War Two whilst petrol was heavily rationed suggests that Mr Thornton-Smith either played an important role during the conflict or lent his car to the armed forces. Interestingly, he was a master of the Worshipful Company of Gardeners as well as a renowned antique dealer and interior designer (the Thornton-Smith Co operated on both sides of the Atlantic).Fitted with an exchange cylinder block in 1939, the Bentley had also been repainted from Steel Dust Metallic to Black (perhaps due to wartime duties?) by the time that J.B. Upton Esq of Rolston Hall, Yorkshire acquired it from Jack Barclay Ltd eight years later. Off the road for sometime (or possibly abroad), chassis B191HM was re-registered with the DVLA during 1979. Treated to a photographically documented, bare metal, chassis-up restoration in the early 1990s at a reputed cost of £60,000 by then owner Derek Saunders Esq of Blunham, the Pillarless Sports Saloon subsequently spent twenty-three years as part of a private collection. Stored indoors but with a haphazard cover for most of that time, its Garnet paintwork has suffered accordingly. Two accompanying MOT certificates dating back to the mid-1990s suggest that ‘DLW 654’ may have covered less than 1,000 miles since its restoration. Little used for decades, the car was treated to some £7,700 worth of recommissioning in 2019-2020 by Trevor Farrington of Knutsford which comprised: freeing up the braking system, refurbishing the ignition system and fitting a new battery, rejuvenating the fuel system including cleaning/sealing the tank and fitting a new fuel pump, replacing a broken valve spring and resetting all tappets, cleaning and machine polishing the bodywork and chrome-work, and greasing and checking the underside.The Bentley runs and drives with the engine reportedly showing good compression and the cylinder head appearing sound. However, the straight-six is not as smooth or quiet as it should be and would thus benefit from further attention. The front brakes are currently disconnected due to the brake shafts being seized. On the plus side, the wooden body frame seems particularly sound with the doors all opening and closing easily (a notorious weak point on Pillarless cars) and the interior trim remains highly presentable. A very worthwhile project which would doubtless still cut a dash in Mayfair traffic, this desirable Vanden-Plas bodied Derby Bentley is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, RREC copy chassis records, restoration photos and sundry other paperwork.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: M189 TMS Chassis No: WDB1240622C191164 MOT: May 2022Subject to an extensive body restoration in 2012 to the cost of over £5,000Only five former keepers with current ownership since 2018The beneficiary of a new Green mohair hood in 2014Accompanied by history file including book pack with well-stamped service bookLaunched in 1985 as a replacement for the successful and long-running W123 series, the mid-size Mercedes-Benz W124 range built on its predecessor's reputation for thorough design and meticulous construction, while adding a welcome dash of driver appeal to the recipe. The model's typically sophisticated design of multi-link rear suspension resulted in an excellent handling/ride compromise, while its drag coefficient of 0.28 was one of the lowest of any car on sale at the time. It also featured many items of advanced technology - eg its single windscreen wiper with eccentric pivot, and its exhaust oxygen sensor. The line-up of petrol engines ranged in size from 2.0 to 5.0-litres and diesel ones from 2.0 to 3.0-litres. Though initially only available in Saloon guise, the offering was gradually expanded to include an Estate and Coupe. The two-door Cabriolet was the final addition, being offered with 3.2-litre (E320) six-cylinder engine from 1991. A 2.2-litre (E220) version was added to the mix two years later. The pair remained in production long after their Saloon and Estate siblings had been replaced by the new W210, ie until the launch of the CLK Cabriolet in 1998. The E220's engine produced some 148bhp and 155lbft of torque - sufficient to power the Cabriolet version to 62mph in around 11 seconds and on to a top speed of some 125mph. The Cabriolets sold well throughout production, being almost unique in the market as full four-seaters.This E220 Cabriolet was manufactured in 1995 and was first supplied new to the UK being registered on the 1st of January 1995. Fitted with the 2199cc straight-four M111 engine mated to the four-speed automatic gearbox, the Mercedes-Benz is finished in Malachite Green with a Green mohair hood and complematary Cream interior upholstery and wood trim. ‘M189 TMS’ has covered approximately 131,000 miles from new and has had only five former keepers, entering current ownership in 2018 and being in the previous custodianship from 2008 until that date.The Cabriolet was subject to an extensive body restoration in 2012 to the cost of approximately £5,200 which comprised new doors, the removal of any corrosion, respray and wheel refurbishment. Further provided with a new hood (by Pete Lenton to the cost of £1,065) in 2014, additional works included a full exhaust system, rear brake calipers and pads and other remediation work to the cost of £1,410 in the same year. The original book pack accompanying the car includes the stamped service book which illustrates nineteen stamps, seven from Mercedes-Benz main dealers and five specialist stamps, with the most recent entry from TOWIW123, W123 specialists at 130,682 miles in May 2021. ‘M189 TMS’ is offered with a history file that comprises a selection of past MOTs and invoices and a current V5C.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

The similarly styled, but mechanically unrelated, 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars. Their successor was the W113 series. The last of the line, the 280 SL, was launched in 1968. Blessed with the same effortlessly elegant Paul Bracq styling as its earlier siblings, it was powered by a new seven bearing crankshaft 2,781cc straight-six engine that developed 170bhp and 180lb ft of torque. The SL was equipped with all-round independent suspension - double wishbones and coil springs at the front and coil sprung swing axles at the rear. Braking was by power assisted on all corners and steering was by recirculating ball. The car's 'square' track gave notably sure-footed handling. Able to blur the divide between city streets and open roads with ease, the majority of 280 SLs were specified with four-speed automatic gearboxes and power assisted steering. Some 23,885 were made by the time production ceased in 1971, virtually half of which were exported to the USA. This popular W113 series of cars was replaced by the all new and substantially heavier R107 350SL/450SL range.

Registration No: UVS 951 Chassis No: HDA43/64588 MOT: Exempt Supplied new to the United States of America before being repatriated in 1987An older restored example that has been converted to right-hand driveSpecified from new with wire wheels, heater and adjustable steering columnAccompanied by history file including BMIHT Heritage CertificateThe Syd Enever-designed MGA was a breath of fresh air for the Abingdon marque, as it replaced the last of the venerable T Series cars, whose origins dated all the way back to the TA of 1936. Launched at the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show, it featured a separate chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and was powered by the 1489cc straight-four BMC B Series engine. The suspension was independent with coil springs at the front and by live axle hung on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by Lockheed drums all-round, and steering was by rack and pinion.Manufactured in 1959, this MGA was dispatched on the 5th of March 1959 to North America in left-hand drive form. Fitted with the 1500cc straight-four engine mated to the four-speed manual gearbox, the Roadster was originally finished in Black with Red interior trim. Specified from new with wire wheels, a heater and an adjustable steering column, the MG is presented today in the complementary colour scheme of White with Black interior upholstery and hood. Repatriated to the UK from America in 1987, ‘UVS 951’ has since been converted to right-hand drive specification.An older restored example, the MGA was the beneficiary of a comprehensive engine overhaul in 1994 to the cost of over £2,700, with much further improvement completed around 2012. Entering the current custodianship in 2018, the MG has a traceable ownership history back to 1993 with just four keepers since that time including the vendor. Accompanied by a history file which includes a selection of invoices, sixteen past MOT certificates, BMIHT Heritage Certificate and a current V5C.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: This lot is leaking fuel when running.

Registration No: GSJ 728 Chassis No: 2599582MOT: ExemptImported from France in 1997 and restored to show winning condition with numerous awards to its creditFitted with such desirable extras as a 'bumpy' boot lid, twin horse mascot and Robri wing guards all roundFeatured in Classic & Sports Car magazine “The most intelligent application of minimalism ever to succeed as a car” (LJK Setright on the Citroen 2CV)The development of Citroën's ever-charming Deux Chevaux dates back to 1936, ie a couple of years after the company had been rescued by Michelin. It was intended to motorise the large number of French farmers still relying on horses and carts, and it was research carried out amongst France's largely rural population that determined the following unique design brief: a low-priced, rugged 'umbrella on four wheels' that would enable four peasants to drive 110lb of farm goods to market at 31mph in clogs and via muddy, unpaved roads; including transporting eggs across a ploughed field without breaking them. Production was delayed by WWII, but began in 1948, following which 3,872,583 2CVs were manufactured via 11 factories across the world (including one in Slough, England) between 1948 and 1990, by when the ageing design had been defeated by contemporary legislation. Introduced in September 1957, the ‘decadent’ AZLP variant boasted an enlarged ‘AZ’ 425cc engine (good for a reputed 80km/h top speed), ‘L’ for ‘Luxe’ trim (including a decorative aluminium bonnet centre strip) and opening ‘P’ (for porte de malle) boot lid.Further distinguished by its ‘deux chevaux’ mascot and distinctive ‘bumpy’ boot lid, this rare surviving AZLP is the veteran of numerous International Citroen Car Club Rallies. Imported to the UK in 1997, a certificate on file reveals that it was declared ‘Registers Day Winner’ at the following year’s 50th Anniversary of the 2CV Celebrations. Granted a ‘Masters Class Award’ at the 2CVGB’s Registers Day in 2000, the four-seater was judged to be ‘The Best Old Car’ at the 2CV Southern Club’s Walton-on-Thames meeting two years later and even graced the pages of Classic & Sports Car magazine as part of a feature on the model. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work not the least of which was a respray carried out by a Rolls-Royce and Bentley Service Centre during 2012, the diminutive saloon is among the smartest 2CVs we have encountered and possibly the finest example of its kind in the UK? Wonderfully detailed from its ripple bonnet and Jaegar 0-90km/h speedometer through to its Blue-stripped upholstery and Robri wing guards, this delightful Citroen is worthy of close inspection.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: We have been informed that the chassis number for this lot indicates it was built as an ‘AZ’ model during the 1962 model year. As such, it would originally have been fitted with a ‘five rib’ bonnet. Accompanying French paperwork gives the date of first registration as 4th October 1961.For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: TSY 101Chassis No: 206E/274704MOT: ExemptThe subject of a photographically documented restoration some ten years agoJust emerged from a glass out respray and looking very smartDesirable 'Low Line' model and one of just 92 surviving Zephyr/Zodiac MKIIs currently known to the DVLAAcquired by its last registered keeper in 2011, ‘TSY 101’ was treated to an extensive, photographically documented restoration thereafter. Finished in Black over White with White upholstery, the Ford has recently had its paintwork refreshed and so presents very nicely. The brightwork is in good order too. Mechanically standard, the 2.6-litre straight-six engine is allied to three-speed manual transmission with a column gearshift. Surviving Zodiac MKII Saloons are few and far between these days which is a shame given what stylish yet practical classics they are. Imbued with a large dose of transatlantic glamour, ‘TSY 101’ is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document, sundry paperwork and the aforementioned restoration images.The Zodiac name was first seen on a Ford at the 1953 Earls Court Motor Show. From day one it denoted the top of the range model – above its siblings, the Consul and Zephyr. The trio were completely restyled in 1956, and the much bigger glass area, tail fins and optional two-tone paint schemes had a heavy American influence. The newcomers were quite a bit larger than their predecessors, with the wheelbase increased by 3 inches to 107 inches and the overall width stretched to 69 inches. With bench seats front and rear, these Fords would comfortably seat up to six adults and had boots to match. The six cylinder in-line engines of the Zephyr and Zodiac were increased in capacity to 2553cc to give an output of 86bhp. This was sufficient to allow a 0-60mph time of 17.9 seconds and a top speed of almost 90mph – lively performance for a largish family car of the period. The engine was either paired with a three-speed, column-change manual gearbox (for which overdrive was an option) or a Borg Warner automatic unit. Suspension was independent at the front with MacPherson struts and coil springs and a live axle at the rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. Braking was initially by drums all round, but front discs became optional in 1960 and standard the following year. The Mark II reigned for six years, during which time 294,506 Zephyrs and Zodiacs were produced.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: POL 506MChassis No: GD2D1816GMOT: May 2022Genuine, chrome bumper V8 that was originally finished in Blaze Orange with Black upholstery and supplied new via T. Startin Ltd of AstonOld MOTs and invoices on file dating back to 1979 and current registered keeper since 1998Treated to an extensive restoration by Peter Green Motors Ltd during the late 1980s / early 1990s According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis GD2D1816G was built between October 12th and November 28th 1973 and despatched to dealer T. Startin Ltd of Aston, Birmingham early the following month. Finished in Blaze Orange with Black upholstery, the 2+2-seater’s original specification also included overdrive and cast alloy wheels. A handwritten log on file chronicles the MG’s ownership history from new until late 1994, while other paperwork and photos show that it was treated to a top-end engine overhaul, four new wings, replacement inner / outer sills, re-trimmed interior, stainless steel exhaust, repaint and reconditioned gearbox by Peter Green Motors Ltd during the late 1980s / early 1990s. Acquired by its current registered keeper twenty-three years ago, ‘POL 506M’ has been regularly maintained and MOT tested since then. Passing its most recent MOT test on 12th May 2021, the 2+2-seater was entrusted to A&J Halliday Automobile Engineers during September this year for the fitment of eight new spark plugs and a partial carburettor overhaul. Rated by the vendor as being in ‘very good overall’ condition with regards to its V8 engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, he further tells us that the MG ‘drives very well’. A genuine, ‘chrome bumper’ car, this appealing B GT V8 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.Created by Mini racer turned car tuner Ken Costello, the first Rover V8-engined MGB appeared in 1970. Suitably impressed, the Abingdon manufacturer began work on an 'official' version the following year. Introduced in August 1973, the resultant MGB GT V8 looked disarmingly standard. Borrowing its four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox and rear-end transmission from the six-cylinder MGC (but doing without that model's 'power bulge' bonnet thanks to the use of a special low-rise exhaust manifold), it utilised the same monocoque bodyshell and suspension layout as the four-cylinder MGB (their respective powerplants being near identical in weight). Thus, although it necessitated a modified bulkhead, raised ride height, bespoke gear ratios and upgraded front disc brakes, the installation of the all-alloy 3528cc Rover V8 proved relatively straightforward. Credited with 137bhp and 193lbft of torque, the Buick-derived unit imbued the MGB with a hitherto unknown level of performance. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.7 seconds and 124mph, the MGB GT V8 was favourably received by the contemporary motoring press. Only in production for three years, a mere 2,591 are thought to have been made.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: SKR 730GChassis No: 1R10931MOT: ExemptOffered with Heritage certificate and current V5cMatching chassis and engine numbers plus manual gearboxDispatched to British Leyland, New York on the 24th October 1969Originally finished in BRG with Cinnamon interiorSaid to 'run and 'drive' however in need of recommissioningTriumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its supercar performance, stunning looks and modest price tag. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer's reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the E-type's combination of all-around independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack-and-pinion steering resulted in excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. The indomitable straight-six XK twin-cam engine supplied abundant power. If the design had an Achilles' heel then it was the recalcitrant Moss gearbox. However, Jaguar was quick to correct this shortcoming with a four-speeder of its own design just part of a continual programme of E-Type development that saw the model metamorphose through three Series. Introduced in August 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Available in open two-seater, fixed-head two-seater and fixed-head 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the vast majority of Series II production.

Registration No: LWT 406HChassis No: BA96JR73548MOT: ExemptFinished in Blue Mink metallicAn ideal candidate for circuit racing, hillclimb or touring eventsBuilt into its current high specification in Oregon, USA during 2002The Cortina was Ford's mass-market compact car and sold extremely well. It was produced in five generations, the Mk. I through to the Mk. V although officially the last one was called the Cortina 80. With variants of the Cortina reaching sales of over one million, each successive model proved more popular than its predecessor. Such was its fame in the UK, that the Poet Laureate at the time, Sir John Betjeman, included it in one of his poems: ‘I am a young executive. No cuffs than mine are cleaner; I have a Slimline briefcase and I use the firm's Cortina.’ In response to the huge success of the Mini, Ford responded not with a small car but with a larger family offering which they could sell in large numbers. The result was the Cortina; a distinctively styled car aimed at buyers of the Morris Oxford and Vauxhall Victor, launched on 20th September 1962. With eye-catching modern styling, it was originally branded as the Consul Cortina until a modest facelift in 1964, after which, it was sold simply as the Cortina but with four trim levels; Standard, Deluxe, Super and GT.Starting life as a June 1969 Dagenham-built Ford Cortina 1500 GT, this car was built into its current configuration in Oregon, USA during 2002. Starting with an "immaculate, rust-free, undamaged bodyshell", it was first taken to the track by its builder and the current vendor - a well respected engine builder on both sides of the pond. Currently fitted with a 'fresh' all-steel, FIA-legal Lotus Twin-Cam of 1598cc with twin 45 DCOE carbs, putting out an estimated 168bhp, this professionally-built and extremely well-specified competition car is offered with a pre-sale estimate that’s a fraction of the build cost.The paint is an unusual choice for a Lotus Cortina - Blue Mink Metallic, but perhaps more importantly, the panels onto which it’s applied are remarkably straight and show no signs of filler or corrosion (meaning an easy conversion to a fast-road showcar is certainly an option for the purchaser). The windows are polycarbonate, with a sliding panel in the driver’s side and also pull-out vents in the rear screen to encourage a bit of through-flow on hot days. The door mirrors are lightweight plastic items and there is a battery cut-off switch on the car’s right-rear hip. The car is de-bumpered and the original fuel-filler in the rear panel has been welded up and skilfully blended into the surrounding bodywork (the only touch of filler on the car apparently) leaving the filler for the fuel cell in the boot. The front screen is still glass and the car rides on 6x13 Compomotive Minilite-style wheels and road legal tyres.At the back, there’s a small racing battery in the right side-well of the boot and a large long-distance fuel cell in the centre. Fuel is moved via a Facet-type electronic pump mounted to an inner wheel arch and there are also steel reinforcing plates for the axle-locating links and the Panhard rod. It’s remarkable to see factory spotwelds and seam sealer under the paint - the shell has survived amazingly well. The cabin is not as ruthlessly stripped as some tin-top racers and all the better for it, with custom-made door cards, an intact full-width dash and period-looking sports steering wheel. The twin racing seats (currently fixed, not sliding) are FIA-approved, but the harnesses will need replacing with in-date items. Peer under the steering column and you’ll find an ingenious braking bias bar. It works with a pair of master cylinders he’s installed, one for the front brakes and one for the back, and so can be tweaked quite easily between outings until you hit perfection.There is a Safety Devices half-cage installed; this will need to be upgraded to a full cage for British and European circuit events but the front half remains available from Safety Devices and the existing rear half already has brackets to accept it. There’s a fire extinguisher fixed to the cage behind the drivers seat - once again, depending on the type of competition, the next owner may need to replace it with one that’s plumbed to a nozzle in the engine bay.Starting and running well during our recent photography session, 'LWT 406H' bursts into life almost immediately with a loud, rapid crackle to be expected from a race-specification engine. There’s only one small silencer in the side-exit exhaust system which may require further baffling to ensure the car complys with some strict UK circuit noise tests.The engine is built to a high no expense spared specification with a forged crankshaft and conrods, forged aluminium pistons and large valves, plus full race cams. The eye-catching BRM cam cover is one of a short run that our vendor had cast from the original pattern; the engine bay also housing a strut brace and a large alloy radiator / oil cooler (originally to cope with Californian heat). The gearbox is a Ford Type 9 five-speed with Quaife internals and the suspension has been substantially altered to race standard. At the front, stiffer springs and damping, a 1-in anti-roll bar on alloy mounts and adjustable track control arms. At the rear, the axle location is controlled by a pair of rose-jointed links going back to mountings on the boot floor and by a Panhard rod, set up to lower the rear axle’s roll centre. There are custom-made leaf springs. The car runs a plated limited-slip differential and at the front, vented disc brakes. The original invoice from 2002 detailing the build specification is in the file (from our vendor to the original customer), along with a couple of other invoices paid by the first owner and communication between him and the FIA enquiring about technical points. There’s also the car’s logbook from the Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts (SOVREN) in America detailing the car’s chassis number, the inspector’s comments and a couple of ‘OK to race’ sign-offs from April and May 2002.This 'Super Saloon' offers a very realistic and potentially competitive entry into Historic Motor Sport, but would also be equally at home for fast-road use and touring.For more information, please contact:Adam Sykes07429600332adam.sykes@handh.co.uk

Registration No: GYB 554T Chassis No: WDB1290602F047697 MOT: July 202295,390 recorded miles (atoc) and six former keepersSupplied with a large history fileFitted with an LPG conversion by Bury LPGAccompanied by a body-coloured hardtop and personalised registration number ‘GYB 554T’Faster, harder-edged and more driver-orientated than its R107 predecessor, the Mercedes-Benz R129-series SL was launched at the 1989 Geneva Motor Show. Brimful of cutting-edge technology, its impressively rigid two-door monocoque bodyshell featured an integral rollover bar that deployed in less than a third of a second (if the car ever sensed an impending flip) and a fully automatic convertible roof. Known for its sure-footed handling, the R129 utilised all-round independent suspension, ABS brakes and power-assisted steering. Propelled by a variety of six- and eight-cylinder engines all allied to an automatic transmission, it was the sports car of choice for many contemporary F1 drivers. Reputed to develop some 188bhp and 192lbft of torque courtesy of its 2960cc SOHC straight-six, the 300 SL was a paragon of refinement (despite its claimed ability to sprint from 0-60mph in 9.0 seconds and onto 142mph).Manufactured in 1992, this SL 300 was supplied new to the UK and is fitted with the 3.0-litre straight-six engine mated to the automatic transmission. The Mercedes-Benz is finished in the complementary colour scheme of Blue with Cream interior upholstery and a Dark Blue hood. With a recorded mileage of 95,390 miles from new (at time of consignment), the SL 300 entered into current custodianship in 2019 and has just six former keepers. Converted to run on LPG in 2008 (at 83,304 miles) by Bury LPG, the Mercedes-Benz’s conversion certificate is presented in the accompanying history file. The aforementioned history file also includes a selection of past invoices and MOT certificates, previous service history and a current V5C. Offered with a hardtop finished in body-colour, the SL is also provided with the cherished number ‘GYB 554T’.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: ABR 7BChassis No: 18335HD - 11665MOT: ExemptA recent garage discovery, following a period of dry storageSaid to "start and run well", however "the clutch will require attention"Evidently the subject of much past restoration workLast used on the road in 2018Based on a design exercise by the Swedish-born Pelle Petterson whilst working at Frua, the Volvo P1800 sports car was officially unveiled at the January 1960 Brussels Salon. Not entering production for a year, the newcomer's sleek two-door monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent front suspension, a coil-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc / drum brakes. Powered by a 1782cc OHV four-cylinder engine breathing through twin SU carburettors, allied to a four-speed manual gearbox, it was capable of over 100mph. The P1800 was immortalised in the 1960s TV series 'The Saint' starring the late Roger Moore.Finished in Black with Black upholstery, this rare right-hand drive UK market coupe displays just over 91,000 miles on the odometer. Treated to an extensive cosmetic restoration approximately ten years ago, H&H are indebted to the vendor for providing us with the following description. "This car has been owned by me since 2007 and only had one custodian before then. The bodywork was professionally restored (including a colour change from red to black), with much of the exterior metal re-chromed where possible or replaced where not, (however the plating is now sadly flaking in places). The interior was re-trimmed with black leather and much work was carried out to the instrumentation including replacement of the clock with digital display - these are a common problem on these cars. The dashboard is original and uncracked (again unusual), whilst all interior trim is complete. The door seals have been replaced, and mechanically the car was fully gone through, including fitment of a rebuilt and up-rated B20 replacement engine mated to a complete sports exhaust system (also benefitting from overdrive transmission). Riding on Bilstein shock absorbers and lowered springs all around (with new suspension bushes), 'ABR 7B' also benefits from a new fuel tank, fuel lines and rebuilt carburettors." Sadly, the car has not seen any use in the past five years and will now require recomissioning and some TLC.Receipts for all mechanical work are included and the car is sold with a current UK V5c document. This appealing P1800S is described by the vendor as being in ‘very good’ condition with regards to its chassis and bodywork, 'good' with regard to its electrical equipment, interior trim and bodywork, whilst he rates the chrome work and paintwork as 'average'.For more information, please contact:Adam Sykesadam.sykes@handh.co.uk07429600332

Registration No: JC 4435Chassis No: A/EB263186MOT: ExemptCurrent registered keeper since 19661 of only c.800 made and a rare survivorThe subject of much past restoration work and comes with a bench seat for three-up motoring! PLEASE NOTE: The chassis number for this lot as it appears on the accompanying continuation logbook is A/EB263186 (with the ‘AEB’ prefix identifying it as a ‘Nippy’ model). However, the chassis number which is listed on its V5C Registration Document has been transposed to AEB963186. The engine currently fitted is a three-bearing crank unit and not original to the chassisThe stampings on the accompanying continuation logbook are a little indistinct but it appears that the current registered keeper acquired this delightful Nippy in 1966. A true Seven enthusiast, he fitted a bench seat for three-up motoring but the past fifty-five years have only seen 10,000 miles or so added to the odometer! First registered in Caernarvonshire on 12th March 1937 (or so its ‘JC 4435’ number plate would imply), the Austin had migrated to Yorkshire by the 1960s. Fitted with a replacement engine that same decade, it is nicely detailed throughout with a badge bar, wooden dashboard, carpeted boot and rear-mounted spare wheel. The snug hood is complimented by sidescreens and wind deflectors. A rare survivor coming from long-term ownership, this wonderful Nippy is described by the vendor as being in ‘good overall’ condition with regards to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Offered for sale with continuation logbook, V5C Registration Document and bucket seats.Brainchild of Herbert Austin and Stanley Edge, the Austin Seven looked almost impossibly small when launched in 1922. Occupying the same 'footprint' as a motorcycle and sidecar combination, it nevertheless boasted all the advantages of a 'full-size' motor car. Responsible for helping motorise Britain while simultaneously sounding the cyclecar industry's death knell, the baby Austin was brilliantly yet simply engineered. Based around an 'A-frame' chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and a spiral bevel back axle, it was powered by a sewing machine-esque 747cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine allied to three-speed (later four-speed) manual transmission. An evolution of the Type EB ‘65’ which itself had been inspired by the legendary Type EA Sports ‘Ulster’, the Type AEB ‘Nippy’ arrived during 1934. Visually near identical to its immediate predecessor with the same low-slung stance and distinctive rounded tail, the newcomer was predominantly bodied in steel over an ash frame (though, early cars utilised the same aluminium panelling as the Type EB ‘65’). Powered by a tuned engine allied to four-speed manual transmission and benefiting from a lowered centre of gravity, the Type AEB ‘Nippy’ proved an amusingly brisk and chuckable sports car. Phased out in 1937, total ‘Nippy’ production is thought to have amounted to just c.800 cars.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: The chassis number for this lot as it appears on the accompanying continuation logbook is A/EB263186 (with the ‘AEB’ prefix identifying it as a ‘Nippy’ model).

Utilising the same two-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round coil-sprung independent suspension (wishbone front / semi-trailing arm rear), power assisted recirculating ball steering and four-wheel disc brakes as its predecessors, the newcomer boasted an enlarged 3839cc SOHC V8 engine and improved four-speed automatic transmission.Presented in an attractive combination of white with contrasting blue leather interior and blue hood, FLE 549Y is a US car imported in 2016 by its current owner and displays 77,503 miles on the odometer. This particular example comes accompanied with a desirable hard top, as well as a number of documents including import docs, a copy of the US title, some previous MOTs and a collection of invoices totalling nearly $9,000. The vendor rates the condition of the interior trim as ‘Average to Good’, the bodywork, engine and electrical equipment as ‘Good’ and the paintwork and transmission as ‘Very Good’.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762

Registration No: AUV 980Chassis No: GZL61MOT: ExemptSupplied new to Mrs. G Hamilton1 of just 22 Rolls-Royce 20/25 chassis to be fitted with the highly desirable Owen Sedanca coachworkCurrent ownership since 1994 The London coachbuilder J. Gurney Nutting & Co Ltd’s luring of designer A.F. McNeil away from the shipbuilder Cunard was instrumental in it being appointed ‘Motor Body Builders to His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales’ during 1931. Possessed of a fabulous sense of proportion and a real eye for detail, McNeil penned some of the 1930s most elegant coachwork for Rolls-Royce, Bentley and even Duesenberg chassis. Reputedly built to the specifications of London Rolls-Royce dealer Captain H.R. Owen, his so-called ‘Owen Sedanca’ design for the Rolls-Royce 20/25 chassis was a case in point. Singularly graceful, it attracted commissions from the likes of King George V’s three sons and Prince Ali Khan, the husband of film star Rita Hayworth.One of just twenty-two Rolls-Royce 20/25s to be clothed with Gurney Nutting’s highly prized Owen Sedanca coachwork, chassis GLZ61 was supplied new to Mrs G. Hamilton for touring usage. Little is known of the Three-Position Drophead Coupe’s subsequent history before its re-emergence in Louisiana during the 1980s. Repatriated by Martin Sargeant of the renowned marque specialist Sargeants of Gourdhurst, the 20/25 has been in the current ownership since August 1994. Looked after by Martin and then his sons until the company that bore their name stopped trading, the Rolls-Royce is said to ‘run and drive very well’. Recently recommissioned after five years’ dry storage including the fitment of a reconditioned cylinder head (new valves, springs, seals and guides etc), ‘AUV 980’ is described thus by the seller: ‘The car “scrubs up well” but would benefit from remedial renovation work. The paint work is cracked in places, due to over painting, with the odd bit of flaking. The interior is rather tired with the leather on the cushions of the front seats needing recovering. Rear leather work is intact’. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most sought-after pre-WW2 ‘small’ Rolls-Royces ever made. Offered for sale with V5 Registration Document, copy RREC build records and ‘lots of invoices for servicing and some repair work’.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: The vendor informs us that he has recently notified the DVLA of a change of address and is waiting for a new V5C Registration Document to be sent to him. He also tells us that the majority of the Rolls-Royce's history file is currently in storage and will be forwarded to a successful purchaser. Finally, he advises us that the reconditioned cylinder head will need torquing down in due course and that the coolant system will require anti-freeze. The 20/25 pleasingly retains its original engine (numbered 'Q6X') and bootlid-mounted tool kit. The vendor rates the car as follows: engine (very good), interior trim (poor to average), gearbox (good), electrical equipment (good), bodywork (good) and paintwork (poor to average).For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: KSS 66P Chassis No: G-D2D1/2255-G MOT: ExemptOne of just 2,591 genuine factory V8's manufacturedHome-market, right-hand drive exampleSubject to much restoration work since entering into current ownership in 2013Accompanied by history file including BMIHT Heritage CertificateA more powerful alternative to the MG B came in 1973 with the introduction of the B V8 - a GT-only variant powered by the ubiquitous 3528cc Rover V8 unit. Though inspired by the conversions carried out by independent tuner Ken Costello, the factory V8 cars were somewhat less tuned, producing 137bhp rather than 150bhp – the output was nevertheless sufficient for a sprightly 0-60mph time of around eight seconds and a top speed of 125mph. As the all-alloy Rover engine was lighter than the cast-iron BMC unit, no significant changes were required to the rest of the car. Production of the V8 was curtailed in 1976 (reputedly over BLMC's concern it would affect sales of other products - in particular, the dearer, less powerful Triumph Stag) after some 2,591 had been built.This MGB GT V8 was manufactured in 1975 and was supplied new via Stewart & Ardern Ltd. of London on the 24th of April 1975. One of just 2,591 genuine factory V8's manufactured, it is fitted with the 3528cc V8 engine mated the four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, the MG is finished in Glacier White paintwork with Black leather interior upholstery. Specified from new with cast alloy wheels, ‘KSS 66P’ entered into current ownership in 2013 having been retained in the previous ownership from 2001 until 2013 and has a recorded mileage of 75,845 miles (at time of consignment).The subject of extensive restoration just before entering current ownership which included the inner and outer sills; passenger and boot floor; rear valance; inner arches; jacking points; rear springs; fuel tank and a new clutch. Since entering into current ownership, ‘KSS 66P’ has benefitted from much further restoration encompassing a full repaint; Webasto repairs; chrome bumper conversion; rear brake overhaul; electronic ignition; power steering fitment; an interior refresh and much further mechanical work with a very large quantity of invoices on file relating to said restoration work. The history file further contains many older invoices; MOT certificates dating back to 1986; the aforementioned BMIHT heritage certificate and a current V5C.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: YFC 533VChassis No: XE2D2-642701AMOT: T.B.A1275GT based track specification mini, benefiting from Garrett turbocharged 1340cc uprated engine, roll cage, performance dash and extinguisher systemBenefited from engine overhaul in October of 2014 at a cost of £3,606 and comes accompanied with over £43,000 in invoicesIn Current ownership for the last 7 years and offered with just 12,595 milesLaunched in the summer of 1959 as Sir Alec Issigonis's sideswipe at the bubble car which had swept through Europe in the late 1950s, the Mini was truly a revolutionary car. Packing a remarkable amount of interior space into its 10ft length by placing its 'A' series engine sideways from 'east to west' in the engine bay, the practicalities which had dominated its design concept seemed almost accidentally to produce a small car which on its rubber-cone suspension and 10-inch wheels was remarkable fun to drive. The Mini's rapid acceptance amongst the elite as 'the' car to be seen in soon saw ig dislodging the Ford Anglia to become the best selling car in the UK and has since become one of the most successful competition cars of all time, running rings around far bigger and more potent opponents by dint of its incredible handling. In current ownership for the last 7 years, YFC 533V is a rare and perhaps unique proposition. based on a 1979 Mini 1275GT and reshelled in 1989, this particular example benefits from a full road-legal track conversion, with specification including the engine being uprated to 1340cc and fitted with a Garrett AIResearch T3 Turbocharger, turbo-specific cam and duplex drivetrain.

Code named E24, the newcomer borrowed heavily from the contemporary E12 and E28 5 Series Saloons and was of unitary, all steel construction. At launch, the range comprised two models - the 630 CS and 633 CSi; the bodies for which were manufactured by Karmann prior to production being taken in-house. The more powerful 635 CSi swelled the line-up in 1978.Registered in March 1985 and supplied by dealers Green Bower BMW of Haverfordwest, Wales; this high-specification example is finished in Metallic Cosmos Blue with matching blue leather seats and carpets (even retaining its original BMW over mats). The subject of much expenditure in recent years, including a professional respray in its original Cosmos Blue during 2018 - 2022 (at a cost of £4750.00), together with much servicing to the engine and gearbox, new brake discs and pads all around and four new Michelin 220 / V55 VR390 TRX Tyres (original specification when new). The car also boasts a full stainless steel exhaust system, but is otherwise standard and unmolested throughout, even retaining its original dealership-supplied number plates.Offered with its original BMW wallet containing all books (and two sets of keys), complemented by a full service history with twelve 'Green Bower' stamps in the service book (up to 50225 miles), together with a folder of MOT certificates and invoices verifying the mileage up to 54638 at the time of cataloguing. The original Vehicle Registration Document is also included together with all the tax discs from 1995 to 2015.With values of 635 CSi models having soared in recent years, the chance to buy an original, one-owner example with superb provenance in 'very good to excellent' condition throughout is an extraordinary prospect, and one that will attract much attention, especially in such a desirable colour combination. Surely one of the highlights of this sale and early viewing is advised.For more information, please contact:Adam Sykesadam.sykes@handh.co.uk07429 600332

The 10hp tourer (hence the Ford 10 moniker) utilised the same 3-speed gearbox, body styling and panels as the saloon car. The 1172cc Touring used an enlarged version of the Model ‘Y’ side valve engine. The suspension was by the Ford system of transverse leaf springs and rigid axles, little changed since the Model T. The De Luxe Model “CX” tourer sold only 1795 cars before its demise on 1 March 1937.Understood to be just 1 of 6 to survive, it remains a very attractive car. ‘RD7970’ has been subject to an older restoration and was later subject to mechanical work in 2014 with the radiator overhauled in 2005. Accompanied by the original sales brochure, a collection of invoices, MoT certificates, original repair manual, and period logbook the Ford has been maintained by the current vendor since 2000. The subject of previous magazine features and articles in club publications ‘RD7970’ still retains its original registration number.

Registration No: X659 MEN Chassis No: JT111GJ9500136384 MOT: September 2022Only three owners from newUK-supplied exampleSubject to much mechanical work during current ownershipOffered with the original vehicle order formIntroduced in January 1998, the 100-series Land Cruiser replaced the 8-year-old 80-series. The 100-series was previewed in October 1997 as the "Grand Cruiser" at the 32nd Tokyo Motor Show. Development began in 1991 under code name 404T, with the final design being frozen in mid-1994. The Colorado aimed to better the Discovery in off-road ability, reliability and perceived quality and too many succeeded on all three counts. Fitted with rack and pinion steering, unlike many of its competitors, the Land Cruiser gave better feedback to drivers. Despite this, the Colorado never managed to trump the Discovery in terms of British sales. The model range sees nine versions spread across three trim levels - FX (replacing the previous EX), GX and VX - and two different body styles - three and five-doors.This Land Cruiser was manufactured in 2000 and was supplied new on the 5th of November 2000 by RRG Toyota Rochdale. Fitted with the 3.0-litre diesel engine which is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Green paintwork with Grey cloth interior upholstery, the Toyota has a recorded mileage of 141,447 miles (at time of consignment) and has had just three owners from new, entering into current ownership in 2019, ‘X659 MEN’ was specified from new with a tow bar and twin electrics.Subject to much work since entering into current ownership, the Land Cruiser has been supplied with new front brake calipers; windscreen; radiator; timing belt; exhaust; a full service by a main dealer and a new battery amongst other work to the cost of approximately £2,600. Supplied with a large selection of invoices relating to the work completed, original new vehicle order form and a current V5C.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: D26 SNSChassis No: WDB1260392A285757MOT: April 2022Extensively restored over the past five years including a full respray by Paintology Ltd of Nottingham, automatic gearbox refurbishment by Oakdene Automotive Transmission and mechanical fettling by MercServe and Elm Tree GarageAttention paid to the brake, suspension, ignition and fuel systems not to mention an upgrade to the air conditioning plus new internal bulbs for the instrument cluster etcNew front headlight wipers and arms, seat adjustment buttons, wood trims etc etc etc Built to order number 0653778372 during September 1986, chassis 285757 was originally finished in Diamond Blue Metallic with Blue Velour upholstery. Specified with a Becker Mexico stereo, folding front armrest and rear footrests, the luxury saloon had covered some 100,000 miles by the time that the present registered keeper acquired it in 2016. Extensively restored over the past five years, work included a full bodywork refurbishment by Paintology Ltd of Nottingham, rejuvenated driver’s seat, factory replacement steering wheel, new interior wood (except the door cappings), fresh seat adjustment buttons and new internal bulbs for the instrument cluster etc. Riding on refurbished and powder coated alloy wheels shod with fresh tyres, ‘D26 SNS’ also gained new front indicator lenses and rear lights plus tinted windows and replacement headlight wiper arms / blades. Mechanically, the 560 SEL benefitted from an automatic gearbox overhaul by Oakdene Automotive Transmissions of Nottingham not to mention attention being paid to its brakes (pads, parking brake shoes, lines), fuel injection, ignition (uprated alternator, spark plugs / leads), fuel (pumps, lines), suspension (front shock absorbers, rear self-levelling hydraulics) and air-conditioning (new condensor radiator, conversion to current refrigerant gas). Said to have been ‘fully serviced by Mercserve and Elm Tree Garage of Nottingham using original parts supplied by Mertrux of Derby’, the Mercedes-Benz has only covered 3,000 miles or so since its rejuvenation. Given a thorough Lanoguard underbody treatment, this imposing 560SEL is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and a ‘no advisories’ MOT certificate valid until April 2022. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1979, the new W126 S-class was a quantifiable improvement over its W116 predecessor. Lauded by the contemporary motoring press as the 'best car in the world', it was not only lighter than its forebear but also offered an improved ride and sharper handling. Styled by Bruno Sacco, its sleek silhouette hid all round independent suspension, disc brakes, power assisted steering and a range of powerful all alloy V8 engines (later supplemented by more fuel efficient straight-sixes). Beloved by heads of state, captains of industry and celebrities alike, the W126 remains sought after to this day thanks to its impeccable build quality and timeless lines. Current between 1985 and 1992, the flagship 560 SEL model was powered by a 5547cc SOHC V8 engine that developed an unfussed 296bhp and 336lbft of torque; outputs sufficient to propel the long wheelbase saloon from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 155mph. Despite a price tag of £75,000 (equivalent to over £185,000 in today's money), the luxurious 560 SEL accounted for an impressive 75,071 sales with most being to left-hand drive specification.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: MXI 514Chassis No: AM122A.659MOT: August 2022Just 21,300 recorded milesTreated to a new clutch, re-faced flywheel and brake fettling by McGrath Maserati circa 5,000 miles ago and a major engine overhaul by Stanwood Engineering at circa 20,800 milesBenefiting from a refurbished steering rack, new LHM tank, fresh front shock absorbers, replacement front disc brakes, new gearchange linkage bushes, four fresh tyres and full repaint in 2018 (approx. 300 miles ago)Returned to McGrath Maserati for a minor service and new starter motor during April 2021 and since subject to £3,000 worth of carburettor refurbishment and fuel system workThe vendor is confident that the paltry 21,300 miles shown by this rare right-hand drive, UK-supplied example’s odometer represents the total covered from new. His belief is supported, at least in part, by the modest mileage, the Merak SS has accrued over the past eighteen years (an average of 280 per annum). Finished in Black with Ivory leather upholstery, the 2+2-seater was despatched to renowned marque specialist McGrath Maserati during 2003 for a refaced flywheel, new clutch, reconditioned LHM pump, rear brake overhaul and replacement lower wishbone bushes etc. The same firm supplied some £3,147 worth of parts (new Omega 92.5mm pistons, bearings, valves/valve guides, gaskets etc) for a thorough engine overhaul carried out by Stanwood Engineering Ltd of Doncaster circa 500 miles ago. Further mechanical work followed in 2018 at an indicated 21,000 miles with the steering being refurbished, the front brake discs/pads replaced, two new front shock absorbers installed, the gearchange linkage bushes renewed, a fresh LHM tank added and four new tyres fitted. That same year also saw the bodywork undergo a partial restoration prior to being professionally repainted by Malton Coachworks. Returning to McGrath Maserati in April 2021, ‘MXI 514’ benefited from a minor service and replacement starter motor, while more recent fettling has encompassed a refurbishment of the triple Weber carburettors and rolling road tune. The interior is nicely patinated (though, there is a split in the driver’s seat base) and has had attention paid to its instruments and switchgear. Starting readily upon inspection and sounding purposeful thanks to its stainless steel exhaust, this striking mid-engined Maserati is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Maserati Club Driver’s Manual and history file. Model Background:Introduced at the October 1972 Paris Motor Show, the Maserati Merak (Tipo 122) was intended to rival the Ferrari Dino 246 and Lamborghini Urraco. Named after a star from the Ursa Major constellation, the compact 2+2 sportscar's styling deliberately aped that of its Bora supercar sibling (both models being penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro). Based around a steel monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes and rack and pinion steering, the Merak was powered by a longitudinally-mounted 'quad-cam' 2965cc V6 allied to a five-speed transaxle gearbox. Fed by triple Weber carburettors, the engine was credited with 190bhp and 188lbft of torque. Debuting at the 1975 Geneva Salon, the uprated SS variant not only boasted more power and torque (up to 217bhp/199lbft) but also a lower kerb weight. As such, the ‘Super Sport’ was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds and 155mph. Praised by the contemporary motoring press with Motor magazine observing that: 'Performance and handling are the raison d'être of a mid-engined sports car, and the Merak's astounding cornering power is a match for its straight-line punch,' the diminutive Maserati remained on the market until 1983 by which time some 1,817 examples had been made (including 970 SS variants).Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Designed in-house by Geoff Lawson, the newcomer (in common with the Aston Martin DB7) was based on a much-modified XJS platform - the changes to which included the adoption of XJ40-type independent rear suspension. The standard version of the XK8 was powered by a 290bhp normally-aspirated version of the company's AJ26 V8 engine, and for those requiring more performance, Jaguar offered a supercharged version, the mighty XKR. Like the XK8, this 370bhp monster was available in closed or open guise and could hit 60mph in a whisker over five seconds and power quickly to the electronically-limited top speed of 155mph.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: ‘Good'Engine: ‘Very Good'Electrical Equipment: 'Very Good'Paintwork: 'Good'Gearbox: 'Very Good'Interior Trim: 'Very Good'Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Changing hands twice thereafter before being acquired by the current registered keeper during 2011, the XK8 rides on imposing 19-inch alloy wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres. Obviously much loved, ‘GD53 WGW’ is accompanied by a service book containing stamps at 9,171, 13,784, 18,440, 28,643, 34,969, 40,620, 44,400, 50,584, 57,884, 62,716, 66,851, 71,232, 74,162, 77,899, 82,994 and 84,004 miles. The car’s condition belies its odometer reading. First generation (X100) XK8s are beautiful to look at and lovely to drive but they can rot terribly; a fate that this example appears to have avoided. Describing the Jaguar as being in ‘very good overall’ order with regards to its 4.2 litre V8 engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, the vendor sums-up ‘GD53 WGW’ as ‘a superb car, rust free, not many like this one’. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, two keys and MOT certificate valid until March 2022.Living up to expectations can be a burden. Consider the handsome Geoff Lawson-penned XK8 that followed in the wheeltracks of such automotive icons as the XK120 and immortal E-type. Like the E-Type before it, the XK8 made its debut at the Geneva Salon - that of 1996 - and, from launch, was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise. Like its immediate predecessor, the XJS, the original XK8 was more of a Grand Tourer than an outright sports car. It also had the distinction of being the first Jaguar to be powered by an eight-cylinder engine. This then, was a Big Cat with strong DNA but also its own distinctive, endearing personality. At the time of the newcomer's unveiling, Jaguar Cars was owned by Ford, as was Aston Martin, and it made sound economic sense for the XK8 and similarly targeted DB7 to share the same platform; which itself was derived from that of the outgoing XJS. The biggest of many differences between new and old, was the adoption of Jaguar's second generation independent rear suspension system, previously found on the XJ40 Saloon. Prior to 2003, power came from either a normally aspirated (XK8) or supercharged (XKR) 4.0-litre version of the company's DOHC V8 AJ26 engine. From 2003 to the end of production in 2006, the 4.2-litre AJ34 unit was employed. In each case, the engine was allied to either a five or six-speed (from 1997 onwards) automatic transmission.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

MOT to April 2022 (No advisories)Will require some cosmetic attention to the n/s/f wing and the car is guided accordinglyDB7 values plateaued for a while, however, that is no longer the case with really good cars catching up and surpassing early DB9s. Don't miss the boat.*Waiting V5c from DVLA following retention application*Introduced to an astonished public in 1993, the handsome new DB7 was Aston Martin's first six-cylinder model since the production of the DBS had finished in 1971. Styled by Ian Callum, its lines were evocative of earlier Aston Martin models and elements of the DB4/5/6 could be seen if you looked carefully. Arguably, one of the most attractive looking cars ever produced by Aston Martin, the 7 was more approachable than the leviathans that had immediately preceded it. Well received, it attracted new customers worldwide, with the traditional layout of the curvaceous two-door Coupé body, robust six-cylinder engine and a proper interior. Power was supplied by an all-alloy, double overhead camshaft, supercharged, 24-valve, in-line six-cylinder engine which produced 335bhp at 5750rpm. In the same way that the beautiful little Sixties Lotus Elan morphed, over the years, into the be-winged Esprit Turbo, the DB7 was the first in the line of modern Astons that have become more dramatic with each new model, however, we feel that the simple purity of line of the DB7, will ultimately define the breed.Designed by Callum at the same time as the Coupé, the Volante looks elegant both hood up or down and underneath the sleek and perfectly proportioned lines of this nineties thoroughbred, lies additional strengthening to offset the lack of the metal roof. Another invisible change to the Volante was softer suspension settings, more suited to the touring image but also to compensate for the inevitable reduction in rigidity compared to the coupé.As one might expect, the roof is fully tailored and electrically operated once the catches have been manually released with the handbrake up. The classic, 'Gentleman's Club' ambience is achieved by the use of sumptuous Connolly hide, restrained amounts of Burr Walnut veneer and deep pile Wilton carpets.This lovely example was initially supplied by Grange Aston Martin in Welwyn during August 1998 to the first of its three keepers. It presents superbly in Buckingham Green with Cream Leather piped in green all set off by a matching soft top and gleaming alloys. It’s covered an indicated 60,043 miles supported by a good history file detailing attention from AM dealers and marque specialists with the most recent service being carried out in April 2021 @ 59,472 miles. The MOT is valid until April 2022 and is pleasingly ‘No Advisories’. The Aston is generally in very good condition with the exception of the n/s/f wing which shows signs of delaminating. A new factory wing is supplied with the car should the buyer wish to replace it, and the car is guided accordingly.DB7s are the quintessential British sports cars of the late nineties. Their values plateaued for a while, however, that is no longer the case with really good cars catching up and surpassing early DB9s. Don't miss the boat.

The pivotal point for this model though was Princess Diana choosing one as her daily driver in 1994. She went for the 2.3 Automatic and took delivery of it in March of that year. Virtually every time she was photographed over the next few months in and around London she was never far away from the Audi and the young Princes were often sat in the back with the hood folded down. Power came from 130bhp 2.3-litre `five' or 150bhp 2.6 V6 engines, as here, mounted longitudinally in Audi tradition and build quality was solid; the galvanised bodies mean that rust is rarely ever an issue unless they have been crash-damaged, and interiors, half leather in this case, are long-lasting, from a time when German build quality was world-renowned.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Very Good’Engine: 'Very Good'Electrical Equipment: 'Good'Paintwork: ‘Very Good'Gearbox: 'Very Good'Interior Trim: 'Very Good'Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Powered by a revised version of the well-proven, four-cylinder XPAG engine but this time using larger valves, a higher compression ratio and twin SU 1.5in carburettors, the new model was reputedly capable of over 80mph.

A RARE FRENCH CHARLES X MINIATURE ORMOLU FIGURAL MANTEL TIMEPIECEPierre-Honoré-César Pons, St. Nicolas, circa 1825The eight-day circular single train movement with anchor escapement regulated by anchor escapement with silk suspension and engraved PONS, a St. Nicolas to backplate, the 2 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with engine-turned centre and blued steel moon hands, the case cast with a female in flowing robes seated and resting on an anchor on a rocky outcrop enclosing the movement and applied with a cornucopia, on plinth base with acanthus cast band over tied baton apron and generous scroll cast feet; with an associated giltwood plinth.24cm (9.25ins) high, 19cm (7.5ins) wide, 6.5cm (2.5ins) deep excluding giltwood stand. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. Pierre-Honoré-César Pons was born in Paris in 1773 and after studying with the Jesuits in the rue Mouffetard he went to train under the eminent clockmaker Antide Janvier. Unfortunately the unrest of the French Revolutionary period disrupted his training but he was recommended by Janvier to the prestigious Lepaute family who took him on in 1798. Pons completed his training under the Lepautes and developed an interest in precision horology; in 1803 he opened his own workshop rue de la Huchette, near the Place Saint-Michel. In order to satisfy the financial demands of running a workshop, whilst taking time to work on the development of precision horology, Pons acted as supplier of movements to many the eminent horologists of the period such as Berthoud, Breguet and Lepine. During this time he developed several escapements and created improved wheel-cutting and pinion polishing machines. With the encouragement of Ferdinand Berthoud in 1804 Pons presented his 'Observations sur l'échappement libre' to the Academy of Sciences where it was praised by the jury and the Academy congratulated him. Around this time the French clockmaking town of Saint-Nicholas d'Aliermont was in crisis due to the collapse of the industry. Napoleon's minister responsible for Fine Arts, Industry and Commerce, the Count de Champagny, ordered the Académie des Sciences to find someone suitable to turn the industry around. Honoré Pons was approached as he had the necessary skills and had developed the tools and practices most appropriate for the task. After a period of reluctance he accepted on the basis that the state will pay him a generous amount for his machines as long as they were installed and used in the Saint Nicholas workshops. By 1808 Pons was producing fine quality 'blanc-roulants' for an affordable price which received high praise from makers such as Breguet and recognition by the Academie in their report to Napoleon Bonaparte.Over the following decades Honoré Pons expanded the Saint Nicholas operations and became a principal supplied of movements to the Parisian clockmaking trade from his premises in Paris's rue de la Barillerie on the île de la Cité. In 1827 he was awarded a gold medal and in 1839 was awarded the Croix de la Légion d'Honneur by King Louis Philippe. In 1846, at the end of an illustrious career, pons sold his firm to Borromée Délépine and retired, living in an elegant Parisian mansion at 20, rue Cassette.Condition Report: The movement appears to be complete and in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements; the mechanism however is a little dirty/discoloured hence a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised. The dial has overall light to moderate tarnishing to the silvering otherwise is in good overall condition. The case is in fine original condition retaining strong original gilding with minimal wear with only light to moderate discolouration to the more thinly gilded side and rear flat panels.Timepiece is complete with a pendulum and winding key; the non-original giltwood plinth has chips and losses to the gesso work, worn and faded velvet top lining and measures 23cm wide, 13.5cm deep and 4cm high. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH CHARLES X ORMOLU MOUNTED MAHOGANY MINIATURE PORTICO MANTEL TIMEPIECEUnsigned, probably Paris, circa 1830The circular eight-day with anchor escapement regulated by decorative pierced rosette bob pendulum incorporating Brocot type regulation to suspension, the backplate stamped with numbers 4 3 over 4046 the circular silvered Roman numeral dial with engine-turned rosette centre and blued steel moon handset within a anthemion and leaf cast gilt bezel, the case with tablet upstand to the entablature with ogee cornice and gilt rosettes to lintel over dial and visible pendulum set between four Roman Doric columns with engine-turned gilt caps and bases, the plinth base with lyre-centred foliate scroll pierced gilt mount over canted mounding to skirt and compressed bun feet.28.5cm (11.25ins) high, 15cm (6ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and is in working condition but is dirty/neglected hence a clean/service is required before putting into service. Spare holes in the backplate would suggest that the suspension has been changed from silk suspension to Brocot type. Dial has some patchy discolouration to the silvering and light wear around the winding hole otherwise is in good condition. The case is generally presentable but has been cosmetically restored to address some lifting and cracking to the veneers to the sides of both the entablature and base; the front lower edge of the skirt has a triangular veneer patch repair and the rear right hand corner has a small veneer chip. Faults to the case are otherwise generally limited to minor bumps, scuffs and other age related blemishes.Clock has pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM IV/EARLY VICTORIAN ORMOLU MANTEL TIMEPIECE IN THE LOUIS XV TASTERichard Ganthony, London, second quarter of the 19th centuryThe four columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum and signed Ganthony, CHEAPSIDE to the lower margin of the backplate, the 4 inch circular gilt Roman numeral dial with radial engine-turned centre and blued steel moon handset within slender cavetto moulded bezel with fine guilloche scroll milled outer edge, the waisted case cast with foliate spray finial over chased rocaille and acanthus scrollwork around the dial and leaf-decorated diamond pierced sound fret to apron, the sides with further floral-bud decorated latticework sound frets within generous leaf cast surrounds, the rear matching the front but with open apertures behind the movement and to the apron, on generous integral scroll cast supports.30.5cm (12ins) high, 17cm (6.75ins) wide, 11.5cm (4.5ins) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. Richard Pinfold Ganthony is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working from Cheapside (number 63), London in 1821. Baillie also notes that he was Master of the Clockmakers Company in the same year as his death in 1845. It is highly likely that he was apprenticed to his father, also named Richard, who gained his freedom of the Clockmakers Company in 1794 before setting up business in Penton Place, Clerkenwell. Richard senior then moved to Lombard Street in 1811, was Master in 1828 and also died in 1845. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition and appears free from noticeable alteration or significant replacements. The backplate has vacant holes near the signature for a pendulum securing bracket which is no longer present and another threaded hole toward the upper left hand margin to which was for holding the securing screw when pendulum is unlocked. The dial has a few very light spots/blemishes to the engine turning (oxidation stains rather than scuffs) and rubbing to the black numerals otherwise is in good original condition. The case is in good original condition retaining its original gilding with only relatively light wear/rubbing to extremities and a few small localised patches of discolouration. The vacant apertures to the rear exhibit no conclusive evidence of previously being fitted with infill panels hence they would appear to have been intended to be left open.Timepiece has a pendulum (probably not original) and a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN AUSTRIAN ORMOLU CASED GRANDE-SONNERIE STRIKING 'PENDULE D'OFFICIER' WITH ALARMUnsigned, early 19th centuryThe circular three train short duration movement with verge escapement regulated by vertical sprung monometallic balance with faceted endstone and sounding the quarters on one gong followed by the hours on a second every quarter-hour, the alarm mechanism with rear winding square and sounding on the first gong, the 2.75 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with fine pierced and engraved gilt hands and steel alarm setting pointer set within a deep lattice milled surround fitted with a hinged glazed bezel, the circular cushion-shaped engine-milled case with fixed foliate scroll cast handle incorporating repeat plunger over fine tight concentric repeating scroll decoration to the body of the case, the rear with circular glazed door, on cast dolphin supports with pad feet. 17cm (6.75ins) high, 10cm (4ins) wide, 6cm (2.25ins) deep. Three related travelling clocks, including one by the renowned early 19th century Viennese clockmaker Philip Happacher, are illustrated in Fritsch, Peter Wiener Reiseuhren pages 270 -71.

A FRENCH EMPIRE PATINATED BRONZE AND ORMOLU MOUNTED ROSSO FRANCIA MARBLE FIGURAL MANTEL CLOCKThe dial now inscribed for Breguet et Fils, Paris, early 19th centuryThe circular eight-day striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum incorporating silk suspension, the backplate stamped with serial number 52 over ST, the circular gilt Roman numeral dial with concentric engine-turned centre incorporating curved sector bearing inscription BREGUET ET FILS, with blued steel moon hands set within repeating leaf and flowerbud cast bezel, the case cast with a standing robed Classical female muse leaning against a pedestal applied with a book resting on top of a laurel wreath, the plinth fascia with laurel and winged sceptre upper quadrant moults over the clock dial and stylised oil lamp beneath, on plinth base applied with generous mount cast with laurel wreath and palm decorated trumpets over repeating lotus leaf moulded skirt base with gilt block feet.51cm (20ins) high, 33cm (13ins) wide, 13.5 (5.25ins) deep.  Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. The studious nature of the subject matter of the current clock was very popular during the French Empire period as they embody the 'use of time'. Condition Report: The movement is in working order and appears free form noticeable alteration or signififcant replacements. The bell is currently lacking and the strike train is currently operating half-an-hour out of sync (strikes the half hour on the hour and the full hour on half past!). This should be fairly straightforward to resolve (by repositioning the hands). The dial has some very light discolouration/mellowing to the gilt finish; the numerals have also been retouched. We are of the opinion that the text BREGUET ET FILS has been later added to the dial later and hence the clock is unlikely to have originated from the Breguet workshop. The case is generally in good original condition with the bronze patination and gilded finishes being original and only showing light wear/discolouration. The marble has some slight edge/corner chipping throughout and a filled repair to the upper right-hand corner of the skirt where it meets the lotus-leaf cast moulding. Faults are otherwise very much limited to minor age related blemishes.Clock has a pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN AUSTRIAN ORMOLU MOUNTED EBONISED GRANDE-SONNERIE STRIKING MANTEL CLOCK Unsigned, circa 1830The four pillar triple train short duration movement with anchor escapement regulated by rosette-cast bob pendulum with silk suspension, and sounding the quarters on a coiled gong followed by the hours on a second larger gong at every quarter hour or on demand via a pull trip repeat function, the 5.5 inch circular gilt brass dial with small concentric enamel calendar ring to the geometric engine-turned centre within Arabic numeral enamel chapter ring, with steel spade hands set behind hinged engine-turned brass convex glazed bezel, the rectangular case with alabaster and gilt metal urn-shaped finial to the tablet upstand over convex-shaped upper side angles, the fascia applied with rosette and laurel-bow cast mounts around the dial and with oval lenticle surmounted by and eagle with outstretched wings flanked by further leafy sprays beneath, the sides with further lyre cast mounts, on generous skirt bass applied with leaf-moulded gilt gesso upper mouldings and figural cast apron mount to front, on generous gilt paw feet. 46.5cm (14.25ins) high, 28cm (11ins) wide, 15cm (6ins) deep.Condition Report: The movement appears complete and fundamentally original with no obvious visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The mechanism is in working condition however the strike work is currently out-of-sync with the hands and as the movement is in somewhat dirty/neglects condition a clean and overhaul is advised. The dial has has some chipping/losses to the inner calendar ring at its two attachment points, the chapter ring has several hairline cracks and the winding holes have adjacent wear to the gilding. The case is in sound condition although the finial may be incomplete and there is evidence (a few vacant 'pinholes') that there was an ormolu mount fitted over the dial at some point. The front left foot has been repaired; the right is missing a toe and the rear left is incomplete. The rear of the skirt has some historic worm damage; this infestation is no longer active and the damage is not structural. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to light to moderate bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.Clock has pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
