1939 Citroen 'Light Fifteen' Roadster with DickeyRegistration no. GWJ 293Chassis no. 104003*One of only 220 right-hand drive Roadsters made*1,911cc engine*Present ownership since 1982*Restored between 1982 and 1984*Ideal for events such as the Flying Scotsman Rally*VSCC eligibleFootnotes:This beautiful Traction Avant was assembled at Citroën's Slough factory in 1939 and registered in the UK on 1st May 1940. Only 220 right-hand drive Roadsters were made and barely a handful survive today. None were made after WW2. Generally known in the UK as the 'Light Fifteen', this model is a 7C 3 built originally with the under-powered 12hp engine. Invariably owners of such cars changed to the larger 1,911cc 'Performance' engine, and this car was probably up-rated sometime after WW2. In 1982, 'Emily', as the car is known, was purchased by the present owner from Ken Ray, Chairman of Ray & Proctor Limited of Stoke-on-Trent, the Citroën main agents for the area. The accompanying old-style logbook (issued 1963) lists two owners prior to Ray & Proctor Ltd. A complete restoration was undertaken over the next two years, bringing the Citroën up to concours condition, and it has won many trophies over the years since. Although occasionally used at Prescott Hill Climb for VSCC events, the Traction has remained chiefly a car for family Continental holidays over the last 30-plus years and has never suffered a breakdown during the whole of that time. The owner is a Citroën enthusiast and maintains the car himself. It is always garaged, and servicing and oil changes are done every 1,500 miles without fail. The engine was rebuilt some 10 years ago and has done only a nominal mileage since. The gearbox was rebuilt recently and up-rated with a new 10/31 high-ratio crown wheel/pinion for fast economical motoring, giving around 28mpg and a cruising speed of 65mph. A new clutch was fitted at the same time. The dickey seats may be removed to provide cavernous storage for suitcases if required, and 'Emily' is said to be a delight to drive and very much at home on the long French Autoroutes with the hood down and the sun shining. Indeed, this much-loved Traction Roadster is ideal for Continental touring and endlessly admired wherever it goes. The car is reluctantly sold only because the owner is now in his Eighties and is downsizing his property. A very rare beast, and VSCC eligible, this charming Traction Roadster is offered with restoration invoices; a V5C Registration Certificate; and the aforementioned logbook.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1954 Alfa Romeo 1900C Super Sprint Series 2 CoupéCoachwork by Carrozzeria TouringRegistration no. 6122 HXChassis no. AR1900C 01713*Landmark Alfa Romeo model*Imported into the UK in 1960*Present ownership since 1985*Restored in the late 1980s/early 1990s and continuously improved*Mille Miglia eligibleFootnotes:Chassis number '01713' is one of 550 Alfa Romeo 1900C Series 2 Super Sprints produced between 1954 and 1955. There were around 550 1900C Super Sprints made by Alfa Romeo for all coach builders. We have not been able to establish the exact total number of Touring Series 2 cars built as all Touring records were destroyed when they went into liquidation. However the register have calculated, based on Touring serial number, that between 470 and 480 Series 2 cars were built.Its factory devastated by wartime bombing, Alfa Romeo did not resume car production until 1947, the pre-war 6C2500 standing the Milan marque in good stead until 1952. The firm's first all-new offering of the post-war period arrived in 1950. Designed under the supervision of Dr Orazio Satta and intended for volume production, the 1900 was the first Alfa to employ unitary construction and - in keeping with the company's sporting heritage - was powered by a twin-overhead-camshaft engine. A four-cylinder unit, the latter displaced 1,884cc and produced 90bhp, an output sufficient to propel the four-door saloon to 150km/h (93mph).Although ostensibly a humble family conveyance, the 1900 was endowed with sporting credentials which extended beyond its type of power unit, owners enjoying the benefits of wishbone and coil spring independent front suspension and an exceptionally well located live rear axle. It should have surprised nobody therefore, when the 1900's potential was realised in the form of high performance derivatives. Launched in 1951, the 1900C Sprint was built on a shortened chassis (C = Corto, Italian for short) with a wheelbase of 2,500mm, down from 2,630mm. All Corto chassis were completed with coachbuilt bodies.The 1900C Sprint featured bodywork by Pinin Farina (cabriolet) and Touring (coupé), both models utilising the 100bhp engine of the 1900TI sports saloon. Touring's Superleggera aluminium-bodied Sprint Coupé attracted such public acclaim that it was subsequently adopted as the basis for all future 'aerodynamic' Alfa Romeo coupés. One direct descendant was, of course, the lovely little Giulietta Sprint in which the family resemblance is immediately obvious.The Sprint Coupé was designed to offer sporting performance together with '2+2' accommodation - guaranteed to appeal to the sports car enthusiast with a family - while the heart-shaped vertical grille with matched horizontal side intakes became an Alfa trademark on later models. In June 1954 the engine was enlarged to 1,975cc and the model re-designated as the 'Super Sprint'. With 115bhp on tap and possessing an excellent power-to-weight ratio courtesy of the aluminium-alloy body, these cars could top 190km/h (118mph). They shone in competitions of all kinds. It is worthwhile noting that while Alfa Romeo identified the Touring cars by three series depending on specification and body style, the Alfa Romeo Register in the UK and USA now recognise four. Attractively finished in red with red/grey Connolly leather interior, this wonderful example of a landmark model from one of motoring's most charismatic marques boasts a truly stunning pillar-less body with a most generous glass area, making for an exceptionally light and airy cabin. Chassis number '01713' was delivered from factory on 31st March 1954 to Giuseppe Mattioli of Carpi (near Modena). Imported into the UK on 12th May 1960, this Series 2 car was purchased by the current vendor in August 1985. An eight-year restoration followed (most bills available) and the vendor has now owned the Alfa for 35 years. Badges left in the car indicated that one Italian owner was a member of the Automobile Club Roma and that it had been used for competition. The Five UK-based owners are known with details available in the history file.Since the initial restoration's completion in 1994, the engine has been rebuilt again; the gearbox overhauled ; and the clutch replaced recently. Indeed, the car has been continuously improved since the restoration; we are advised that rear indicators (a factory option) have been installed and the front sidelights fitted with orange bulbs to act as indicators (the sidelights are now incorporated into the headlights). The car also benefits from an electric cooling fan with thermostatic switch.MoT'd to June 2020 this beautiful Alfa Romeo, has received numerous awards (too many to list) over the years including the Jeffrey Mason award for the Best Alfa Romeo in 2019. It certainly represents the perfect opportunity for the fortunate new owner to participate in the Mille Miglia and other prestigious historic motoring events.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1992 Ferrari Testarossa CoupéCoachwork by PininfarinaRegistration no. K420 KRAChassis no. ZFFAA17C000090563•Rare UK-supplied right-hand drive model•Ferrari main agent service history•Four owners from new•Only 7,655 miles from new Footnotes:Ferrari's flagship model, the Testarossa supercar revived a famous name from the Italian company's past when it arrived in 1984. A 'next generation' Berlinetta Boxer, the Testarossa retained its predecessor's amidships-mounted, 5.0-litre, flat-12 engine, the latter now boasting a maximum power output raised to 380bhp at 6,300rpm courtesy of four-valve cylinder heads. Despite the power increase, smoothness and driveability were enhanced, the car possessing excellent top gear flexibility allied to a maximum speed of 180mph. Rivalling Lamborghini's Countach for presence, the Pininfarina-designed Testarossa succeeded brilliantly, the gill slats feeding air to its side-mounted radiators being one of the modern era's most instantly recognisable – and copied - styling devices. A larger car than the 512BB - the increase in width being necessary to accommodate wider tyres - the Testarossa managed the trick of combining high downforce with a low coefficient of drag, its graceful body being notable for the absence of extraneous spoilers and other such devices. Despite the increase in size over the 512BB, the Testarossa was lighter than its predecessor, the body - its steel doors and roof excepted - being, somewhat unusually for a production Ferrari, of aluminium. Luxury touches in the well-equipped cabin included air conditioning, electrically adjustable seats, tilting steering wheel and plentiful leather. Unlike some of its rivals, the Testarossa possessed light controls and was relatively easy to drive, factors which, allied to its outstanding performance and stunning looks, contributed to an instant and sustained high level of demand. Imported by Maranello Concessionaires and supplied by H R Owen, this rare right-hand drive Ferrari Testarossa was sold new to its first owner Charles Robertson (Dev) Ltd of Cornwall in September 1992 and was first registered as 'K567 EYL'. In February 1994 the Ferrari passed to the second owner, Mr Vichai Karmakharm of Oxfordshire and was reregistered as 'K420 KRA'. It was next owned, from November 1999 onwards, by Mr Alan Croll and has belonged to the current vendor since May 2002. Old registration documents recording details of former owners are on file together with correspondence, bills, and H R Owen and Graypaul service history as recorded in the original Warranty Card and Owner's Service Book. Finished in the classic colour combination of Rosso Corsa with Crema leather interior, this low-mileage Testarossa is described by the private vendor as in excellent condition throughout and has to be a most attractive acquisition for the Ferrari aficionado.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Alexander Jamieson (1873-1937) Scottish Corfu Oil on board, 15cm by 20.5cm See illustration Alexander Jamieson was born in Glasgow, and trained at the Haldane Academy, now part of the Glasgow School of Art. In 1898 he won a scholarship to spend a year in Paris, which proved a formative experience that would influence his work for the rest of his life and spark an abiding love for France. In Paris Jamieson was exposed to the work of the Impressionists, many of whom he met. The young artist adopted their techniques, and he evolved a style that would span his career. Jamieson's work was characterised by this preference for painting en plein air, working wet-into-wet with bold, bravura brushstrokes to capture the transient nature of light. By the early 1900s Jamieson had returned home and married his artist wife whom he met in Paris. Concentrating on painting landscapes and townscapes, often of Continental subjects, his reputation grew, and he exhibited at the likes of the Groupil and Carfax galleries in London. However, his life was interrupted by the First World War; enlisting, he served until 1919 and fought in the battles at Loos, the Somme and Arras. After the war he settled in the Vale of Aylesbury and returned to depicting his favoured subjects but now placing a greater emphasis on the effects of light and shadow. In addition to exhibiting to great acclaim, Jamieson also taught painting on trips around the towns of France and Belgium, painting light-dappled towns, gardens and harbours. Indeed, in the foreword to the catalogue for Jamieson's memorial exhibition, Sir John Lavery wrote ''He dipped his brush in light and air''. Alexander Jamieson died at the age of 63, the aftereffects of the War having taken a toll on his health. Examples of his work are held in the collections of the Louvre and the Tate.
