1960 BSA Gold Star 350cc, registration number VNY 41, frame number CB32 9784 (1960), engine number DB.32.GS.1506 (1959). Where to start with the iconic Goldie? To start the story, we go back to 1937, when Wal Handley came out of retirement to ride a three-lap race for BSA at Brooklands. Winning the race, with a fastest lap of 107.5mph, Wal earned himself the Gold Star (awarded for race laps in excess of 100mph) and with it launched the Gold Star marque. The following year saw the first of the production Gold Stars, the M24, complete with the trademark alloy barrel and cylinder head. The engines were built from individually selected parts and bench tested, a practice that was to remain throughout its life. The machine, an instant 'good-looker' and a bargain at £82, was capable of 90mph performance though possibly without the handling to match, and pre-war production was restricted to under 500 machines. Post war, BSA launched the ZB32 in 1948 at a price of £211. In order to satisfy the eligibility requirements for the Clubmans TT, over 100 machines were produced, 21 of which were entered into the 1949 350cc junior race, a race to be dominated by Gold Stars for the next eight years. The 350CC model was followed by the 500cc ZB34. 1953 saw the introduction of the BB series (BB32-350cc/BB34-500cc) with new duplex cradle frame and swinging arm rear suspension. These were followed in 1954 by the CB series with engine changes aimed primarily at the road racers. Immediate success was achieved in the Clubmans TT and this cycle of engine redesign and immediate success was repeated the following year with the DB series. Towards the end the Gold Star was only offered in scrambles, or Clubmans trim. In 1963 Lucas ceased to produce the magneto used in the B series, which was a prime reason that BSA and Triumph reconfigured their pre-unit-construction parallel twins into engines with integral gearboxes, simultaneously converting the ignition system from magneto to battery and coil. The Gold Star was not considered for progression to unit-construction, and instead the 250cc BSA C15 was developed (via the B40) into the 500cc B50. This example has been owned by our vendor since May 1988 who acquired it from a Peter Widlake of Fleet in Hampshire, he had owned it since November 1978. For many years it was in need of restoration and this was undertaken during 2010/2011 resulting in the Clubman trim example you now see here with many desirable options, it has a Superleggia alloy top yoke, RRT2 gearbox, Dunlop alloy rims, a lighter alloy petrol tank, GP carburettor, 190 front wheel and a 10 degree advanced timing pinion. Unused since the restoration she may need a gentle recommissioning to be put on the road and is only being sold as he has a 500cc Goldie that he prefers riding and several other projects on the go, along with a potential house move. Sold with the V5C.
1970 Morris Mini Cooper S MKII Wood & Pickett Margrave- Reputedly the sole Morris Mini Cooper S MKII converted by Wood & Pickett to Margrave specification (built on 19th August 1969, it was not road registered until 11th September 1970)- Previously owned by Leonard of Mayfair, Denny Laine of the Moody Blues / Wings and John Hammel, Sir Paul McCartney's guitar technician (the latter buying it back on several occasions)- Winner of the London to Brighton Mini Run 'Car of the Show' in 2009 and the subject of various magazine articlesReputedly the only Morris Mini Cooper S to be converted to Margrave specification by coachbuilder Wood & Pickett, chassis K-A2S6/1321285 was despatched to dealer Stewart & Arden Ltd of Acton, London on 9th December 1969 but not road registered as 'YYU 292H' until 11th September 1970. The ten-month gap was understandable given the craftsmanship that went into its subtly reworked exterior and thoroughly remodelled interior. Both front wings were given modest peaks (something of a W&P trademark), the headlamps gained hooded chrome surrounds (Riley 1.5 litre items) and the doors were modified to accept James Young-fabricated opening quarterlights, Piper electric windows and repositioned Princess 1100 handles. The Benelite front grille played host to Lucas LR9 spotlights, while a full-length Webasto sunroof and sleeker MKIII Mini boot lid were both added. A more aggressive stance came courtesy of wheelarch extensions housing wider wheels / tyres. Inside, the diminutive sports saloon was treated to Aston Martin DB6-style Black leather seats to complement its Aston Martin electric window switches, Rolls-Royce cigarette lighter, Rolls-Royce door handles and Jaguar / MG instrumentation. A drop bracket allowed the steering column to be repositioned and a padded central armrest with cubby nestled between the front seats. Left in standard Cooper S tune, 'YYU 292H' thus boasted a twin-carburettor fed 1275cc engine, four-speed manual transmission, hydrolastic independent suspension and disc/drum brakes.An accompanying copy of its original logbook reveals that the Margrave was initially finished in Beige / White and first registered to David Weir of 154 Pavilion Rd, London SW1 (which runs behind Sloane Street). It is pure supposition but we believe the Mr Weir in question to have been the American playboy millionaire David Manson Weir II who was living in London at the time and racing cars with Alain de Cadenet under the Ecurie Evergreen and Team Snake Speed banners. Heir to the National Steel Corporation fortune, David M. Weir II took his motorsport seriously (achieving a career best 4th overall at the 1971 Le Mans 24-hours) but was no stranger to the London party scene and would certainly have had the means to buy a coachbuilt Mini. If there is some doubt as to which Mr Weir first owned the car, the identity of its second keeper - Leonard Albert Lewis - is a certainty. Better known as Leonard of Mayfair, he converted 6 Upper Grosvenor Street, London W1 into a five-storey hairdressing salon and counted the following as clients: President John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Tony Curtis, Elizabeth Taylor, Bob Marley, Marie Helvin, Jerry Hall, David Bowie, Warren Beatty, Audrey Hepburn, Liza Minelli, Meryl Streep, Faye Dunaway, Barbara Streisand, Christine Keeler, Reggie Kray, Grace Kelly, Jack Nicholson and Stanley Kubrick. Responsible for the haircuts in the latter's Clockwork Orange film, Lewis also helped transform Lesley Hornby into 'Twiggy' via a bold Eton Crop. Jack Nicholson and Stanley Kubrick became lifelong friends as did the society writer Richard Compton Miller who described Lewis thus: 'He was the first hairdressing superstar, who taught John Frieda, Daniel Galvin, Nicky Clarke and many more household names. Leonard could barely read or write and yet created some of the unique styles of the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties. He was so renowned he was known only by his Christian name'. A bona fide trend setter and confidant of the rich and famous, it was Lewis who had the Margrave painted Pacific Dark Blue in 1971 (its copy logbook indicating the colour change took place in October that year). Given his status it is not difficult to imagine 'YYU 292H' roaring around London's hippest streets with some of the twentieth century's most famous people aboard!The sports saloon's third keeper is listed as Clive Arrowsmith of Abingdon Rd, London W8 who we presume to be the internationally renowned fashion and music industry photographer. Thereafter it was registered to Music Lore Ltd of 36 King's Road, London SW3 before being acquired by the musician John Frederick Hammel in 1974. Reportedly swapped for a BMW and £300 in cash and showing some 21,000 miles to its odometer at the time, the Cooper S was repainted Claret shortly thereafter. Hammel sold the Margrave to Denny Laine (formerly of The Moody Blues and then a member of Wings) in 1978 for the latter's wife JoJo to use but soon found himself asking to buy it back. His second tenure lasted until 1998 when Andy Stewart purchased 'YYU 292H'. Passing to Hammel for a third time in the early 2000s, he subsequently had the Margrave restored to its former glory such that it won the MiniWorld Car of the Show Trophy at the 2009 London to Brighton Mini Run. Perhaps best known as Sir Paul McCartney's long-time guitar technician, Mr Hammel has owned numerous classics over the years but had a particular affinity for this one which his friend Steve Marriott of Humble Pie apparently referred to as 'a 100-miles per hour pair of shades'. Purchased by its penultimate custodian during late 2012, the Cooper S had its original engine and gearbox thoroughly overhauled by Mini Speed of Byfleet the following year at a cost of some £3,698.95. Further improved since entering the current ownership, 'YYU 292H' has had its fuel lines renewed, hydrolastic suspension recharged, wiring fettled and electronic ignition installed. The work which also included some general servicing and MOT preparation etc was carried out by R.E. Mills Motor Engineers of Rothley at a cost of £3,689.70. Believed but not warranted to have covered just 72,000 miles from new, the Margrave pleasingly retains its original Wood & Pickett crafted Black leather upholstery. Said to retain its original bodyshell and factory powerplant, this unique Mini makes one wish cars could talk!Offered for sale with history file, Heritage Certificate, V5C Registration Document, copy Mini World feature article and MOT certificate valid until November 2017.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

*Prisoner of War. A complete deck of manuscript playing cards made by a French Prisoner of War, circa 1796, fifty-two hand-painted playing cards, comprising four suits of thirteen (French suits), each with ten pip cards, and three full-length court cards (jack, queen, king), forged ace of spades copying Hall's for 1789-1801, generally lightly dust-soiled and some rubbing in places, plain versos, 90 x 63mm (3.5 x 2.5ins), together with a visiting card giving details of provenance in old manuscript, contained in original green straight-grained roan box with pull-off lid See: The Playing-card, Journal of the International Playing-Card Society, Volume 34, No.3, January-March 2006, pp.216/17. A unique set of hand-made playing cards. Whilst bone playing cards made by French Prisoners of War appear on the market from time to time, we have not seen another deck painted on card. The manuscript note on the enclosed visiting card states: "Set hand-made Cards & Case made by French Prisoners of War at Porchester Castle in Napoleonic Wars. Given to [Mrs. J.R.G. Chick-Lucas(printed)]' Mother-in-Law (Mrs. George Lucas) by a very old Resident of Porchester whose father had been a Prison Official at the Castle. Date of Gift was well before 1886, & the Ancient Dame died soon after. Given to Walter F. Chevers by his loving sister Alianora Chick-Lucas for July 2 - 1940.' The address printed on the visiting card is 'Belle Vue Cottage, Brading, I of W'. Alianora (1870-1956), wife of James Robb Goodman Chick-Lucas, is buried at St. Mary's Church, Brading. Her brother, Walter Forsyth Chevers (1867-1948) was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. They were the children of Norman Chevers (1818-1886), Deputy Surgeon General of the Bengal Army, and his wife Emily Ann, and the family was known to have been residing at Sandown on the Isle of Wight in 1908. French Prisoners of War were kept at Portchester Castle, Hampshire, between 1793 and 1817, with more than 9,000 being held during this time. The late John Berry called this deck "a real 'find': very nicely done for a hand-made pack". Whilst the male court cards illustrate kings and warriors, the queens represent classical goddesses: the queen of clubs is Cirene, or possibly Diana (with crescent moon head-piece); the queen of diamonds represents Flora (with a garland of flowers); the queen of spades shows Pax, the goddess of peace (with a cornucopia in one hand and an olive branch in the other); and the queen of hearts also carries a cornucopia, but no other symbol to distinguish her from the many deities who are associated with the horn of plenty.
