Cornish Lead Mining.- Wheal Golden Mine Company (of Perranzabuloe, Cornwall, fl. 1829-55) Copy of Deed of Regulation of the Wheal Golden Mine Company, copy manuscript agreements by James George, of St. Agnes, miner, and Edward Williams of Plymouth Dock and others, title and 26pp. excluding blanks, central folds, browned, original marbled wrappers, rubbed, folio, 1829. ⁂ The Golden Wheal Mine Company was started in the last years of the reign of George III. By 1822 Wheal Golden had its own smelting house, but in 1824 the 58 ins. cylinder engine and materials were put up for sale. A new company styled Wheal Golden Consols was formed in 1848, which included Penhale Mine. By 1851 the mine was producing more ore then ever and new machinery was installed. A ship was also acquired to discharge and take in cargo at Holywell Beach, an apparent landing bay being still visible on the cliff slope immediately north of the site of the engine shaft. This working ceased about 1855. A military camp was built in the area during the Second World War and all the mine buildings were destroyed, including the castellated stack.

Cultivation by Steam Power.- Smith (William, farmer and agricultural engineer, of Church Farm, Little Woolstone, now Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, b. 1814, d. 1870s) Letter-book, manuscript, 276pp. excluding blanks, a few ff. excised, some corrections and crossings out, some slight staining to lower margins, original half calf, rubbed, upper cover detached, sm. 4to, 1839-73. ⁂ William 'Billy' Smith was born in 1814, at Church Farm, Woolstone. He was determined to make his farm more efficient, convinced that horse power should be replaced by steam. In 1855 he invented a Steam Cultivation System - a system of winches and pulleys powered by a single steam traction engine. This improvement in ploughing speed contributed massively to the growth in farm productivity during the 19th Century. In 1868 he harvested a field of wheat at Linford, thrashed it by steam driven machinery, took it to be milled at Little Woolstone, and made it into bread in Newport Pagnell, all within 24 hours.

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.

1993 Ferrari 512 TR                                                                                           PLEASE NOTE: The alarm on this vehicle has been disconnected due to a fault. - 1 of just 88 RHD examples - 30,200 miles from new with 5 previous keepers - Documented ownership from new and offered with extensive history file Ferrari's mid-engined, flat-12 Testarossa was unveiled to an expectant media at the Champs-Elys£e's Lido nightclub on the eve of the 1984 Paris Salon. Though an evolution of the 512BBi, it was of markedly different appearance with large, slatted intake ducts leading from the doors into the rear quarter panels; it was nearly 6in wider than its predecessor. By the time of the 1992 Los Angeles Auto Show, the model had been heavily re-engineered and relaunched as the 512 TR. The many improvements included: uprated engine with broader power curve and higher peak figure of 428bhp; swifter gearchange; uprated braking; quicker steering; lower profile tyres; superior suspension settings; repositioned engine and gearbox, resulting in a lower centre of gravity and improved weight distribution. The exceedingly handsome Rossa Corsa 512 TR on offer is one of just 88 righthand drive examples made, and was supplied new by Glenvarigill of Edinburgh in September 1993 to footballer Mark Hateley; then a top player at Rangers. It has subsequently had five further keepers, yet still covered just 30,200 miles from new - a figure fully supported by the detailed service and MOT records. The Ferrari has been maintained by Bob Houghton for the last decade, who replaced the cambelt in June last year. The last four years have also seen the engine and brakes overhauled and a new starter motor fitted. `L555 WPM' is now offered complete with: original sales invoice and order form; photos of the engine overhaul; original toolkit; fitted cover; battery charger; tracker; 19 old MOTs and one valid into February 2018. Also included (but not fitted) are a Tubi Style exhaust system and Speedline split-rim alloy wheels. The vendor currently grades the Prancing Horse's flat-12 engine and five-speed manual transmission as `excellent' and the bodywork, paintwork and Cream interior trim as `very good'. A rare opportunity.

1995 Ferrari 512 M                                                                                              - LHD example of Ferrari's limited edition supercar - c.16,500 miles only, supplied new in Holland by Kroymans - Rosso Corsa with Pelle Nera hide According to its accompanying paperwork, the lefthand drive 512 M being sold left the Modena production line in late 1995 and was delivered to its first keeper via the Dutch Ferrari importer Kroymans - it was finished in the classic Prancing Horse colour of Rossa Corsa and trimmed in Pelle Nera hide. It then spent some time as part of a Japanese collection before being imported to the UK in 2015 and granted the registration 'N221 VEC' in March 2016. The Ferrari's history file contains many invoices for maintenance work carried in the Far East as well as a related DVD containing scores of photographs of this work. There are also a pair of 2015 bills from SB Race Engineering of Watford totaling over £6,500 that include charges for a cambelt change, work on the suspension, the replacement of tyres all round and repairs and paintwork to the engine cover. The vendor regards the Testarossa's bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 12-cylinder engine and five-speed manual gearbox to all be in 'excellent' order. Its odometer currently displays a mere 26,583 kilometers (c.16,500 miles) and the 512M is now being offered complete with original leather tool case, the aforementioned invoices, Swansea V5C and a current MOT valid to July 19. As the world moves away from multi-cylinder internal combustion engines towards hybrids and the silence of electric vehicles, the sonorous sound of a Ferrari flat-twelve can surely only become more treasured. Though an evolution of the 512 BBi, Ferrari's Pininfarina-penned mid-engined, flat-12 Testarossa was of markedly different appearance. In order not to recreate the high cabin temperatures of its predecessor, it featured a pair of rear-mounted radiators rather than the 512BBi's single front-mounted one. This called for large, slatted intake ducts leading from the doors and rear quarter panels, and it was these that gave the newcomer both its distinctive looks and considerable girth - at 77.8 inches, it was nearly 6 inches wider than the 512BBi. The model was also longer and higher, resulting in more passenger and luggage accommodation. The Testarossa name (Italian for 'Red Head') was an echo of Ferrari's immortal Testa Rossa sports racing cars of the 1950s and the engine's cam covers were painted red, as before. The five-litre Colombo-designed unit was very similar to that of the 512 BBi, but featured four-valves per cylinder. Together with other improvements, this resulted in a healthy output of 390bhp. The Testarossa reigned for seven years, before metamorphosing into the 512 TR and finally the limited edition 512M. The 512M is distinguished by its open rather than concealed headlamps, the NACA ducts at the top of the bonnet, circular tail lamps and restyled bumpers. Inside, the gearknob was given a chrome finish, the aluminium pedals were drilled, air conditioning was standard fit, and carbonfibre racing seats available at no extra cost. Both Pininfarina and Ferrari flags adorned the facia. Still more output was extracted from the engine, which was now capable of 440bhp at 6,750rpm and 370 lb ft of torque at 5,500rpm. New titanium conrods and a revised crankshaft knocked 16 lbs off the previous weight of these components and permitted a revised rev limit of 7,500rpm. The improvements meant the 'Red Head' could now complete the all-important 0-60mph dash in 4.7 seconds, that to 100mph in 10.2 seconds, and attain an optimum speed of just 4mph shy of the magic 200mph. The 512M was not only the final iteration of the iconic Testarossa, it was also the last Ferrari to be powered by a flat-12 engine, a configuration synonymous with their F1 cars of the 1970s. Unlike the Testarossa and the 512 TR which came before it, the 512M was a limited edition model and just 501 examples were produced between 1994 and 1996.

1948 HRG 1500                                                                                            - One of only around 111 HRG 1500's made between 1939 and 1956 and boasting known history from new - Believed to have been Works prepared for the 1949 Alpine Rally and period competition history at Goodwood and Silverstone - Reported to have had just six owners from new with the vendor having purchased the car in 1984 as a restoration project Rarity and provenance are attributes that many owners would love their vintage and classic cars to have. This HRG 1500 can boast both, and the vendor has kindly carried out a lot of research into the history of his car, efforts all of us now and in the future will be grateful for. According to a letter to the vendor from Ian Dussek of the HRG Association, this HRG left the factory on November 11th 1948 as a standard 1500 with a body by Automarine, painted in green with a green leather interior. Mr Dussek states that the HRG was entered into the 1949 Alpine Rally and it is believed to have been Works prepared for the event at the request of first owner John Roberts, of London SW7. Apparently the weather that year was terrible which resulted in Mr Roberts' retirement (along with many others) on the first day. Believed indications of Works preparation for the Rally are two circular holes in the nearside of the bonnet for the SU carburettors to breath through, brackets on the headlight frame supports for additional horns, the placing of the front brake cables through the wings to raise them from the chassis rails, a leather bonnet strap, twin rear-mounted spare wheels, brackets to hold two one gallon cans of fuel either side of the differential, enamel union jack badges on the leading sides of the bonnet, and twin fuel pumps. Almost two years later (1950) the car changed hands and the new owner, a Commander Norman A. Bartlett RN, continued the young car's competition career and at least took part in the BARC Private Members Meeting at Goodwood on August 12th 1950. Bill Potter became the third owner in 1952/53 and he wrote a letter to our vendor explaining that he had purchased the HRG from Vincent's Garage in Yeovil, Somerset. They had apparently taken the car in part exchange. Mr Potter then sold the car in 1960 to an Adrien Sturgeon who was a work colleague of Mr Potter's brother-in-law. Mr Sturgeon resumed the HRG's competition activities and took part in many trials in the car as well as an HRG versus MG race at Silverstone in 1964. A letter on file from Mr Sturgeon to the vendor states that he carried out a repaint of the HRG. In 1966 the car was acquired by a David Parry who soon afterwards presented the car to Willows Lane Garage in Accrington, Lancashire, for a restoration. Work commenced but the garage's invoices were unpaid so the car remained in a part dismantled state at the garage for the next eighteen years. The garage sadly went into receivership and in late 1983 / early 1984 the vendor was given a tip-off that there was an HRG inside one of the garage's extensive buildings. Investigations proved positive and the vendor was able to acquire the car from the receivers, the purchase invoice for which is on file. Mr Parry had taken the engine and dashboard instruments away for refurbishing elsewhere, and when the vendor contacted him soon after he had acquired the car, Mr Parry was some-what dismissive of the idea of reuniting the engine with the car. Contact between the two people was eventually lost and the whereabouts of the original engine are now sadly unknown. The engine HRG fitted to most 1500's was based upon a Singer 12hp unit, although a few towards the end of production were fitted with a Singer SM engine. Upon the advice of the HRG Association, an SM engine was therefore sourced from a Singer Gazelle and installed during the restoration. The SM engine would have had two carburettors when fitted to the HRG but in a Gazelle it only had one, and this arrangement was retained when the vendor fitted the engine to the car. The intention to eventually fit a twin carburettor set up resulted in the acquisition of a twin carburettor head, but it has never been fitted. The vendor has stated they will supply the head (plus many related parts) with the car for a new owner to build up and fit if they wish. The body had been part restored by the garage in Accrington and the vendor set about completing this work soon after purchase. With the body soon painted in Rolls-Royce Brewster Green, attention was turned towards the mechanical components and the brakes, suspension, and axles were all overhauled, and the wheels were re-spoked. In addition, a new fuel tank was manufactured and a dash board was copied from a correct and conveniently local HRG and fabricated and fitted up with a mixture of new and overhauled instruments. Serck in Birmingham re-cored the radiator (and modified the top hose outlet) and re-chromed the radiator shell and headlights, as well as some other brightwork, plus a new wiring harness was made by the vendor using what he believed to be the correct colour and gauge of wiring. To improve reliability, all items are reported to have been separately earthed. The final task was for a division of the renowned Jaguar specialist XK Engineering in Coventry to retrim the seats and door panels in green Connolly leather and fit Wilton carpets, and to have a roof and side screens constructed. The restoration was completed in 1994 and the car has only covered around 3,500 miles since. The very comprehensive history file contains many invoices for works carried out during and since the restoration, as well as letters between the vendor and the extremely helpful HRG Association, and previous owners. There is a large quantity of photographs too, such as ones from when the car was first seen in the garage in Accrington, during the restoration, and copies of photographs of the car on the starting grids of Goodwood in 1950 (sent to the vendor by the daughter of Commander Bartlett) and Silverstone in 1964. The car also features in the book "HRG - The Sportsman's Ideal" by Ian Dussek of the HRG Association, in a photograph of Ron Godfrey (the G in HRG) taken by the author in 1960 standing in front of KLD 447. This is a special and rare car with an interesting history that is described by the vendor as being in "very good" condition in all respects. Much loved but rarely driven during the twenty-three years since the ten-year restoration was completed, a lack of use is the main reason for the vendor now deciding to part with his beautiful HRG.

1992 Ferrari 348 TS                                                                                           PLEASE NOTE: This lot is being sold with the personalised registration number 'LEZ 2232' (and not its previous registration number 'J633 WRX' which appears on the car and in the catalogue). - 1 of 4,228 made and UK registered since September 1998 - Cambelt service a few hundred miles ago and new clutch within the last 3,000 miles - Sports exhaust, targa-roof, correct-type Pirelli PZero tyres and 'no advisories' MOT till Feb 2018 Introduced at the 1989 Frankfurt Motorshow, the Ferrari 348 utilised a robot-welded sheet-steel monocoque that not only broke with Maranello tradition but also brought considerable gains in torsional rigidity and dimensional accuracy. Powered by a longitudinally-mounted, 32-valve 3405cc V8 (300bhp / 238lbft) allied to five-speed manual transmission, the newcomer had need of its all-round independent suspension, ventilated ABS disc brakes, self-locking ZF differential and rack-and-pinion steering. A near performance match for its Testarossa 'big brother' (contemporary road tests spoke of 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds and a 171mph top speed), the 348 could be had in coupe, targa and eventually spider guises. 1 of 4,228 targa-roofed TS models made, this particular left-hand drive example left Maranello in June 1992. Imported to the UK some six and a half years later, it was road registered as `J633 WRX'. The subject of a documented speedometer head change by marque specialist QV London on 11th March 1999 at 43,889km (27,271 miles), it now shows some 25,000 miles and so is understood to have covered a little over 52,300 miles from new. Notable expenditure since coming to these shores has included: clutch / service @ 4,062 miles (QV, £704.65), cambelt service @ 10,917 miles (QV, £1,525.19), service @ 14,176 miles (QV, £236.53), cambelt service @ 18,594 miles (QV, £1,357.66), clutch @ 22,299 miles (QV, £1,920.95) and cambelt service @ 24,836 miles (£1,662.80). Riding on five-spoke alloys shod with Pirelli PZero tyres, the two-seater is variously described by the vendor as being in `excellent' (engine, gearbox), `very good' (bodywork, Rosso Corsa paintwork, electrical equipment) or `average / good' (Tan leather upholstery) condition. One of the electric windows is faulty but a new switch comes with the car. A testament to the maintenance which has been expended upon it, `J633 WRX' is offered for sale with a `no advisories' MOT certificate valid until February 2018, sports exhaust and history file.
