Superbly restored 1927 Phantom 1 Tourer rebodied in the eighties with an Edwardian Shooting-Brake flat body with its own story to tell.#82EF was built in 1927 on a C-2-A Long Chassis. Fitted with Engine Number 'CX75'Clothed in 'Enclosed Laundaulette' bodywork by Maddox of HuntingdonDelivered to its first owner, Rippon Bros. Ltd. of Huddersfield on 14-06-1927There is no further history with the car up until its purchase, in 2004, by our vendorHowever the real story is the cars commodious rear bodywork which began life in 1912 fitted to a new Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, # 2232EThis bodywork has a fabulous story to tell, all covered on our website#82EF returned to UK roads registered as HK 6071 in 2004 and has enjoyed a full and colourful life ever since The car is supplied with original documents which include build sheets, spring testing, component selection, weight reports, inspections and pleasingly the car’s service records (at the Works) up until early 1938A remarkable piece of motoring historyBy 1925, the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost had been upstaged by a younger generation of more technically advanced luxury cars. The glory days of the 1913 Alpine Trials had long passed and both Henry Royce and Rolls-Royce sales manager Claude Johnson felt the need to produce a new claimant to the title 'best car in the world'. Just as the competition between car manufacturers was becoming increasingly fierce, so that between rival coachbuilders had intensified correspondingly. With the arrival of each faster, more powerful chassis came the opportunity to construct ever more lavish, sophisticated coachwork. To ensure that their cars could be fitted with the finest bodies in the world, Rolls-Royce introduced the 'New Phantom'.Whilst, its tapered, channel-section chassis, four-speed manual transmission, supple springing (semi-elliptic front, cantilever rear) and ingenious gearbox-driven, servo-assisted four-wheel brakes owed much to its predecessor, the Phantom's 7668cc engine was all new. Quoted as being an impressive 33 per cent more powerful than the Ghost's unit, it featured overhead valves set in a detachable cylinder head, two-cylinder blocks with three cylinders each, aluminium alloy crankcase and a massive seven bearing crankshaft. Bore and stroke dimensions of 108 x 139.7mm resulted in abundant torque, enabling the flagship Rolls-Royce to accelerate from walking speed to approximately 80mph in top gear. Unveiled at the company's 14/15 Conduit St, London showrooms during May 1925, the 'New Phantom' remained in production in the UK until 1929, by which time some 2,269 chassis had been delivered. Rolls-Royce Phantom 1, #82EF, appears to have been built in early 1927 on a Nickel-finished, C-2-A Long Chassis and fitted with Engine Number 'CX75' before being despatched to coachbuilders, Maddox of Huntingdon, to be clothed in their 'Enclosed Laundaulette' bodywork. It was subsequently returned to Derby for final fitting-out and testing prior to being delivered to its first owner, Rippon Bros. Ltd. of St.Johns Rd, Huddersfield, (John Stonehouse) on 14-06-1927. This information can be gleaned from over a dozen photocopies of (hand-written) original documents which include build sheets, spring testing, component selection, weight reports, inspections and pleasingly the car’s service records (at the Works) up until early 1938.There is no further history with the car up until its purchase, in 2004, by Raymond Lippiatt, its current owner. Raymond is a long-term Rolls-Royce and Bentley enthusiast who is well known by the respective Owner’s and Driver’s Clubs and who has also entrusted us with the sale of his very special 3-litre Bentley. The Phantom is rumoured to have been working as a farm tractor (possibly abroad) and certainly needed to be UK-registered again with HK 6071 being allocated by the DVLA after representation by The Society of Automotive Historians in Britain. However, the most unusual thing about the venerable Rolls was its distinctive ‘Shooting Brake’ rear bodywork which had been saved from the scrapyard in 1987 and, presumably, was just the thing for work on the farm. For anyone interested in Social History, this unusual rear end is fascinating as explained below.In 1912, a new Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, # 2232E, was purchased by the 5th Duke of Sutherland, George Granville Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, (1888-1963) and fitted with a bespoke 9/10-seat shooting-brake body almost in the style of an open trailer to be used on the family estates for shooting parties, carrying the eight ‘guns’ in some comfort out to their respective ‘pegs’. The 5th Duke was a well-known socialite, patron of the film industry and a Conservative Party politician so one would imagine that amongst the invited guests would have been prominent Cabinet Ministers, fellow MPs, some glamorous thespians and occasionally minor Royalty. No doubt, the atmosphere in the back of this leather-lined charabanc on the way back to cocktails and dinner would have been rather jolly. This wasn’t to last, however, as the start of the Great War resulted in 2232E and its commodious rear end being seconded for wartime service and despatched to a newly formed RNAS station (RNAS Mullion) in deepest Cornwall. At this time the Royal Naval Air Service operated all Airships across Britain and the first to operate at Mullion were the Coastal Class non-rigid type. They were constructed with a Gondola for the crew and a ‘Tri-lobe balloon’, of 170,000 cubic feet of Hydrogen. 'Coastals' provided the nucleus of airships from the Lizard and had a crew of five with an armament of four machine guns and a small number of bombs or depth charges. Their open, unheated cockpits were uncomfortable and crew members resorted to walking around the outside on the grab-rails to stretch their legs. In winter, crews risked frostbite and Hypothermia and often, on their return, ground handlers would have to lift them from their cockpits after patrols, some lasting over 15 hours at a time. 2232E (now carrying the plate RNAS 615) was used to take the quietly reticent crews out to the airships and collect them after the mission, the mood being somewhat lighter then, with the prospect of a hot bath and bacon and eggs in the mess. In 1917/18 the Airships were replaced with combat aircraft, Sopwith Pups and Camels, and sadly, a number of young men who took the trip out to their aircraft in the back of RNAS 615 would never return. We understand that this bodywork, presumably still attached to the Silver Ghost carried out a similar function for Spitfire pilots in World War 2.Silver Ghost #2232E was re-bodied in 1987 and the wood and leather rear body was saved from the scrapyard, somehow ending up on the back of our Phantom, 82EF.

A genuine, matching numbers, mid-twenties 3-litre with a fascinating history that would be welcome anywhere in the world (and would probably get you there).The venerable 3-Litre, 15.9HP, four-seat tourer on offer here was built in April 1925 on a ‘Standard Long’ chassis (#1079) Powered by ‘No.1075’, a 2,996cc SOHC, 4-valve, inline 4-cylinder engine with 2 SU 'Sloper' Carburettors which offered circa 70bhp Clothed from new by HJ Mulliner with their ‘Allweather’ bodywork and finished in ‘Grey and Black’First registered on 9/05/1925 to Guy Dutton. Transferred to Brooklands Aviation at Sywell Aerodrome on 11/05/1935 where it was converted to a Fire TenderBetween October 1987 and July 1989, HP 2667 was totally restored and re-bodied in the style of a 1925 Vanden Plas TourerNow finished in BRG (Napier Green) and Brooklands Green with black wings, running boards and wire wheelsOn offer today from our vendor, a long-term Rolls-Royce and Bentley enthusiast who is well known by the respective Owner’s and Driver’s Clubs With characteristic humility 'W O' was constantly amazed by the enthusiasm of later generations for the products of Bentley Motors Limited, and it is testimony to the soundness of his engineering design skills that so many of his products have survived. From the humblest of beginnings in a mews garage off Baker Street, London in 1919 the Bentley rapidly achieved fame as an exciting fast touring car, well able to compete with the best of European and American sports cars in the tough world of motorsport in the 1920s. Bentley's domination at Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930 is legendary, and one can only admire the Herculean efforts of such giants as Woolf Barnato, Jack Dunfee, Tim Birkin and Sammy Davis, consistently wrestling the British Racing Green sports cars to victory.W O Bentley proudly unveiled the new 3-litre car bearing his name on Stand 126 at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototype engine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier. Bentley's four-cylinder 'fixed head' engine incorporated a single overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder and a bore/stroke of 80x149mm. Twin ML magnetos provided the ignition and power was transmitted through a four-speed gearbox with right-hand change. The pressed-steel chassis started off with a wheelbase of 9' 9½" (the 'short standard') then adopted dimensions of 10' 10" ('standard long') in 1923, the shorter frame being reserved for the TT Replica and subsequent Speed Model. Rear-wheel brakes only were employed up to 1924 when four-wheel Perrot-type brakes were introduced. The venerable 3-Litre, 15.9HP, four-seat tourer on offer here was built in April 1925 on a ‘Standard Long’ chassis (#1079) and powered by ‘No.1075’, a 2,996cc SOHC, 4-valve, inline 4-cylinder engine with 2 SU 'Sloper' Carburettors which offered circa 70bhp at 3,500rpm. It was fitted with a 4-Speed Close-Ratio Gearbox, Front and Rear Leaf Spring Suspension and 4-Wheel Drum Brakes with ‘Perrot Shaft’ actuation, all rather advanced for 1925. It was clothed from new by HJ Mulliner with their ‘Allweather’ bodywork and finished in ‘Grey and Black’, normal for the period as green was very seldom used at the time.As far as we can see, HP 2667 was first registered on 9/05/1925 to Guy Dutton who used it until it was transferred to Brooklands Aviation at Sywell Aerodrome on 11/05/1935 where it appears to have been converted to a Fire Tender. There is a photograph of the car in Bill Boddy’s ‘Brooklands Volume 3’ showing the car as a fire tender and captioned “Put into Service, 1935”. The Log Book has been altered to read “Class: Fire Engine”.The car’s second ‘Buff Log Book’ shows that HP 2667 was acquired by Bert Middlemas T/as Hornby Park Motors on 21/07/1953 prior to passing through the hands of a couple of more dealers before settling down with William Deane in Chester in July 1956. A Mr Henry Pasco from Wellesbourne is the next name on the list (21/01/1964) in a new ‘Green’ logbook followed swiftly by Reginald Booth (18/02/1964) and then John Henry Davidson (1/02/1965) who obviously enjoyed the Bentley as he was to retain it until Terence Dickie acquired it on 19/09/1983.It’s not clear at what point the ‘Fire Tender’ bodywork was replaced, if at all, but from the stack of numbered invoices from GA Huckle of Bedford, ‘Vintage Car Restorations and Rebuilds’, we can establish that between October 1987 and July 1989, HP 2667 was totally restored and re-bodied in the style of the 1925 Vanden Plas Tourer. The VP Tourer was a much more attractive body and totally in keeping as Chassis Number#1080, the immediately following chassis in 1925, was in fact bodied from new as a Vanden Plas Four-Seat Tourer. The invoices from GA Huckle detail all the work that was carried out and indicate that a total of 873 man/hours were charged for and the restoration costs with GA Huckle alone total £36,815.There is an element of mystery here as there is a DVLC document indicating that the car became the property of Per Guerdrum in Sanvika in Norway on 4/04/1989, whilst still being restored by GA Huckle and a further couple of service invoices from Huckle in Bedford are dated June 1990 and January 1992, perhaps the Norwegian owner had it shipped back to the UK for specialist attention. The GB badge at the rear of the Bentley indicated that it lived in Norway at some point.Post-restoration invoices dated 1993 from Arley Coachbuilding, John Hunt Engineering, the Bentley Drivers Club and DH Day are all addressed to Alan Whitehead from Bolton, who presumably owned the car at the time, but one thing is certain, the Bentley was sold to Raymond Lippiatt on 02/06/2003 by Terence Dickie who according to the V5 had owned it since 19/09/1983. Part of the fun of owning really old cars is the research.PE 2667 is on offer today from Raymond Lippiatt, a long-term Rolls-Royce and Bentley enthusiast who is well known by the respective Owner’s and Driver’s Clubs and who has has also entrusted us with the sale of his unique Phantom 1. We understand that Raymond believes in using his cars and from the file we can see that the Bentley was most recently taxed last September (2020). There is a quote on file dated 16/03/1995 for a full engine rebuild (£6,450) which, we imagine, was carried out and an invoice from Elmdown Engineering dated November 2006 that covers 15 hours of maintenance and servicing.The car itself looks absolutely splendid, standing all-square and proud and belying the thirty years since its restoration.

A 'collector quality' example of the sought after Series 1 with only 14,829 miles.The RS Turbo was introduced in 1984 to homologate Ford's Escort for the 'Royal Mail Datapost' entry into the BritishTouring Car ChampionshipFord took the best features from the XR3i and RS1600i and added a Garrett T3 turbocharger to the 1597cc CVH engine132bhp and 125 mph, seven-spoke alloy wheels, a body-kit and aerodynamic aids marked out the RS Turbo as an 1980s favouriteThis is a collector-quality example with history to match, and just 14,829 milesOwned previously by enthusiasts that really know their Ford RS carsMuch sought-after model, rare and capable; a benchmark car for originalityThe RS Turbo Series 1 presented here is something very special indeed. It was first registered on 29th May 1985 and has been enjoyed by just four previous owners since (all true Ford enthusiasts), who between them have covered only 14,829 miles. Supplied new via ‘Crystal of Hull’ (Ford) to its first owner, a Mr C.G. Peck and first registered B141 YRH, this remains one of the most well-preserved examples of it type in the UK.Obviously lovingly kept, serviced regularly, and maintained to its original condition, the car soon attracted the attention of the Ford collector-enthusiasts. It was subsequently owned by some of the most knowledgeable and respected members of this group, who knew exactly how the car should be kept and looked after. Its originality is testament to their expertise and duty-of-care to preserve what is one of just a handful of RS Turbo S1 examples in this sort of rare original condition. The car has rightly been shown and won at some of the most prestigious Ford shows in the UK.Our vendor - who has owned some of the best examples of Ford cars in the UK - sought-out this particular car for his collection and is proud to have owned it.It was at the ‘NEC Classic Car Show' in 2015 that Silverstone Auctions achieved a record price of £60,188 for an RS Turbo S1 with 5,568 miles. Knowing our vendor's standards with Ford cars, the RS S1 being offered here is likely to be as good. This could well be a very shrewd investment and is not to be missed. SpecificationMake: FORDModel: ESCORT RS TURBO S1Year: 1985Chassis Number: WF0BXXGCABFP14261Registration Number: B70 AATEngine Number: FP14261 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

On the inside, the SVX boasted custom-designed Recaro front seats, an iPod cradle and Garmin satellite navigation, alloy gear knobs, a new audio system, and an individually numbered plaque. It was flatter-riding than any previous Defender courtesy of some subtle, SVX-only improvements to the damping, making it much more comfortable.The 90-Station Wagon offered here was supplied new via a Scottish dealership and was subsequently taken by its Land Rover-enthusiast owner to the Caribbean where it remained for many years and used only sparingly in dry weather. It returned to the UK in 2012 and put into professional storage, before being fully recommissioned. Our vendor, who is a collector a low-mileage original cars, could not resist acquiring what must be one of the best examples of a SVX available anywhere to buy. With limited-edition ‘original model’ Defenders seemingly being more desirable than ever, this low-mileage, low-owner, and wholly original example, would make both a fun and shrewd purchase. SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDER 90 SVXYear: 2008Chassis Number: SALLDVBT79A770547Registration Number: SN58 LMEEngine Number: ELD00080912115910Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

Barnfind in superb original condition. Dry stored since 1987. Probably the finest example available, recommissioned with a mileage of just 21,335 miles.Described in period as being a practical sports car Designed by Matra themselves with one of the lowest drag coefficients of the time Powered by a 2.2-litre, SOHC, 4-cyl. offering 116bhp, 0-60 in 9 seconds and 114mph A five-speed gearbox was a standard fitting Supplied by Sports Cars Unlimited, Newcastle finished in Mephisto Red One recorded keeper from first registration in April 1983 and a low indicated mileage of just 21,340 In storage since 1992 so an element of recommissioning is to be expected The Matra Murena (Project M551) is a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive hatchback that was produced from 1980 through 1983 by the French engineering group Matra located in the commune of Romorantin-Lanthenay in central France. An intriguing design by Greek stylist, Antonis Volanis, described in period as being a "practical sports car" with a distinctive style, three-across seating and intelligent use of space aimed at those individuals who enjoy driving.Unlike Matras earlier cars whose frames were prone to rust, the Murena utilised an industry-first hot-dipped galvanized frame that was backed by an unprecedented six year rust-through warranty. The galvanizing process added protection and increased the torsional stiffness of the chassis by a measurable amount. After the process was completed, the body was riveted and bonded to it, producing a strong and long-lasting vehicle. The Murenas sleek wedge profile consisted of even fewer panels than the Bagheera, only 12 compared with 19, resulting in a drag-coefficient of just 0.32, pretty slippery.This particular Murena was purchased by its one recorded keeper in 1983. He was looking for a sports car built to a high standard that would be rust free and provide a bit of fun. With that he mind, he made contact with Sports Cars Unlimited in Newcastle Upon Tyne and an order was placed directly with the manufacturer. He later collected the car directly from Matra driving home via Ostend to Dover, whereupon it was officially imported into the UK. Related paperwork accompanies the car together with two handbooks, one in French and the other in Dutch, sales brochures, specification sheets and original purchase invoices. Even the temporary number plate to allow travel to the UK remains within the history file. In 1992, due to a change in circumstances the Murena went into storage and has only recently seen the light of day. An interesting concept being mid-engined with three seats that will be a rarity on UK roads today or even in Europe come to that !! SpecificationMake: MATRAModel: MURENAYear: 1983Chassis Number: VF853C432DX706427Registration Number: RWN 405YTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 001801323Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 21335 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: Black / White ClothClick here for more details and images

One of only 45 and privately owned from new, this 3.8 RSR is clearly of investment grade quality and will, undoubtedly, appeal to discriminating collectors or historic racing aficionados.One of 45 race cars produced for Endurance RacingChassis No.#9802 was built in left-hand drive and completed on 27/02/1997Delivered new to Japan later that year3.8-litre, six-cylinder 350PS/258Kw/346bhpSuperbly presented in Glacier White with a black interior, black headlining and sitting on BBS wheels with centre lockingPrivately owned since new with less than 14,000km and never been tracked or racedFrom 1995, the RSR denomination once again disappeared from the tracks as Porsche focussed its efforts on the GTI and GT2 versions of its recently released 993 platform but, in '96, they developed a race car to take part in national championship series in Europe, Japan and the United States. The stripped-down race car was officially named the '911 Cup 3.8 RSR'. Customers and private teams could choose between three distinct factory-built 3.8 litre engines, each one tuned to a different specification and designed for the appropriate class of competition. A true factory-build, the 993 Cup 3.8 RSR with 350 PS at 6,900 rpm was at 1,200 kg, a super-lightweight track weapon and the last truly hand-made 911.A total of 45 Carrera Cup cars were produced between 1996 and 1998 and Chassis number #9802 dates from 1997. It was fitted with the M64/75 motor which, with its bespoke pistons and high lift cams, was specifically tuned for endurance competition and generates 350 PS at 6,900 rpm An endurance race competitor, the RSR was equipped with a Premier Aluminium Fuel Cell (FIA and SCCA specifications) which was installed at the Porsche factory with all the required plumbing and quick-filler neck. Most are fitted with an optional 75-litre fuel tank. With limited creature comforts, it was assembled by the factory with a fully-welded Matter roll-cage and all the required safety systems such as the twin Sabelt six-point harnesses, Recaro racing seat, Werner Clubsport fire extinguisher and engine kill-switches. The Porsche branded 350mm high grip Momo steering wheel with a 70 mm dish allows the wheel to be moved closer to the driver and also provides for greater leverage and quicker steering corrections. A SPA 3-stage shift light module is on the dash.This fabulous 3.8RSR Carrera Cup car was supplied by Mizwa Motors Corporation, 2-7-1 Meguro-Honcho, MeguroKu, Tokyo 152, Japan to a private owner who bought, owned and retained the car for his personal use. It was finished in Glacier White with a black interior and black headlining and spec'd with BBS wheels with centre locking. It has never been tracked and therefore never raced. Purchased directly from the private owner the vehicle was shipped to the UK by James Kaye of JKR Performance Engineering, Southampton and was duly registered with the DVLA at Swansea on 1st May 2015. Upon its arrival in the UK, having covered 13,128km from new, the car was transported to Clark & Carter, the renowned Porsche specialist located in Cressing in Essex. Once its provenance had been confirmed by Steve and Jamie Clark, they were instructed to re-commission and detail the car. Remarkably, the bodywork was exactly as it had been delivered new. It was totally unblemished and the original paintwork required nothing more than a buff and polish. The wheels were professionally refurbished before being fitted with a set of new Pirelli tyres. To provide the opportunity for instruction, an OEM passenger seat was fitted, as were a new set of harnesses. The original harnesses remain with the vehicle. Upon completion of the works, the car was never driven indeed, it remained with Clark & Carter until July 2020 when it was taken by transporter to the Official Porsche Centre in Tonbridge.From our vendor."This car comes with its original engine and close-ratio 6-speed synchronized gear box. The gearbox is precise and functions impeccably throughout the entire power band from 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds to a top speed of over 175 mph. The independent front suspension coil-overs and multi-link fully adjustable rears and the camber are set in a neutral position for optimized open road use. Air Jacks, that have never been used, remain fitted for race pit stops. The BBS modular, 18-inch centre-lock wheels with magnesium centres are fitted with new high-speed tyres (235 front and 295 rear) The bodywork is almost indistinguishable from new. The Glacier White paintwork is free of imperfections as is the condition of the composite flairs.

The much revered Carrera 3.0 transformed into a rally car and successfully rallied in 'Group B' European events.C16/UK RHD example manufactured on 03/02/1976Matching-numbers; Porsche CoA and service/handbooksTransformed into a rally car in 1984 and successfully rallied in Group B European eventsNumerous Works parts utilised, seam welded shell, oil cooler in rear whale tail, adjustable front anti-roll bars, Works torsion bars, quick rack and light podOther parts accompanying car include RSR front Bilstein struts, bag tank, torsion bars (2 x 7x16), Fuchs alloy wheels.The car’s decals and stripes are all painted not transfersThe interesting Carrera 3.0 is rightly regarded as somewhat of a special and rare model amongst the impact-bumper era, 911 model range. It was introduced in September 1975 for the 1976 model year and production only ran until 1977.Following on after the MFI-engined Carrera 2.7, the 3.0 Carrera heralded the adoption of the newly developed Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection engine. This torque-rich, smooth and free-revving 3.0-litre engine, with a distinctive 'cam' effect from 4,000rpm, produced 200bhp and was effectively a naturally aspirated version of the 930 Turbo's drivetrain (using the same die-cast aluminium crankcase and gearbox housing for durability).Although having slightly less power than the outgoing Carrera 2.7, it had considerably more torque (188 lb/ft at 4200 rpm) and with its new fuel injection system was one of the earliest Porsches to return economical fuel consumption figures without a significant performance loss. The Carrera 3.0 was able to accelerate from 0-60 mph and 0-100 mph in almost identical times to the original 2.7 RS and 2.7 Carrera.This respectable performance was aided further by the relatively light weight (1093 kg) of the 3.0 Carrera compared to its successors. It is almost 6% lighter than the SC (1160kg), almost 10% lighter than the 3.2 (1210kg) and surprisingly, also weighs less than the later (1987-1989) stripped-down Carrera 3.2 Club Sport (1170kg).During its short two-year life span, only 3,687 cars were built - a tiny amount compared to nearly 58,000 911 SCs and 76,500 3.2 Carreras produced. Of these, 2,564 were Coupés and 1,123 were Targas with only around 1,064 Coupés being manufactured in right-hand drive. Very few RHD cars reached the UK, and with just a two year production run, only 121 Carrera 3.0 Coupés (combined "Sport' and "Comfort' versions) are verified by their chassis numbers with the Porsche Club GB.The Carrera 3.0 model was highly rated by Porsche gurus Michael Cotton, Lindsey Porter and Peter Morgan, and was the road car of choice of legendary British Rally champion Roger (Albert) Clark.The car presented here started life as UK-market Carrera 3.0 before being enhanced for rally driving in 1984 by an established driver named Mervyn Coxon; we understand that he may have had a connection at Prodrive and was able to utilise some very special componentry for the car (possibly Works parts including Kevlar-covered rear trailing arms etc.), whilst also seam-welding the bodyshell. He ran the car in 'Group B' European events, including the Rallye International de Wallonie (in Belgium) and Carling Killarney Rally of the Lakes before it was subsequently sold in 1987 to Dr Graham Rood, a well-known engineer, classic aviation and motorsport enthusiast/driver. He is an authority on Sunbeam Tigers and has owned a highly original Sunbeam Tiger Mk1A ex-works rally car, amongst others. We understand he owned this Carrera 3.0 for approximately 25 years.Our vendor, a well-known classic rally car driver, engineer and enthusiast, bought the car in 2013. He set about a thorough upgrade of it, including the fitting of modern, high-quality race seats, harnesses and a fire extinguisher. He fully restored the bodywork to the bare metal before professionally painting it, and adding the iconic 'Rothmans' livery, with the stripes being hand-painted (not stickers).He has used the car in a number of road-based events and for fast-road driving trips, where he describes its handling set-up as 'remarkable', allowing the power to be put down whilst cornering and exit at astonishing speeds, whilst inspiring real confidence, which comes from the sheer quality of engineering and its clever set-up.An attractively guided car with real provenance and abilities tested over many years, this is one for buyers who know their Porsches.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 3.0 RALLY CARYear: 1976Chassis Number: 9116600465Registration Number: TFA 345Engine Number: 6660574 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

An early 1963 Lotus Mk1 Cortina, well-known over many years on the UK rally scene, now fully restored.An early 1963 Lotus Mk1 Cortina, well-known over many years on the UK rally sceneRecently restored by a Lotus Cortina expert over a six-year period using new or reconditioned partsThe car was re-shelled using a correct 1963 GT shell and is now in simply superb conditionAccompanied by a many invoices and a full photographic record of the restorationThe Lotus Cortina came into being because of Ford's decision to step up their Motorsport involvement in the early 1960s. Their Head of UK Public Relations, Walter Hayes, spoke to Colin Chapman, asking him to come up with a competitive saloon, using the Cortina as a base, that could be produced in sufficient numbers to satisfy the mandatory 'Group 2' homologation requirements, and with which the Blue Oval could beat all comers. The solution was to take Ford's bullet-proof 1500 Kent engine, fit it with a twin-cam cylinder head, pop it into a stiffened Cortina shell, sort out the suspension and brakes and paint a green stripe down the side. The cars would be built by Lotus at its plant in Cheshunt and marketed through their dealer network as the Ford Cortina Lotus.'AFE 718A' dates from 1963 example and is well known in club rallying having competed regularly over many years, latterly by a team of three friends. The car was well maintained, as all competitive machines tend to be, but time and rally life caught up with the original shell. It was subsequently put into storage coincidentally with a Cortina GT from the same year. One of the friends, an engineer with many decades of classic Ford knowledge, took it upon himself to combine both cars into what you now see. He has just concluded an exacting six-year-long restoration, with the Lotus correctly re-shelled using the shell from the 1963 GT. New OEM or reconditioned parts were used, and the car is accompanied by a raft of invoices and a full photographic record of the metamorphosis.Mechanically too, the car has all been fully renewed and, according to our vendor is in "better than new" condition. The engine has been tuned and given some proper runs out to shake it down. Dynamically, it has all been set up correctly by someone who knows these cars well and would not put his name to a Ford that wasn’t right.Fit-for-purpose, no unnecessary adornments, just clever and robust engineering providing a rewarding driving experience – the Lotus Cortina is a legendary machine, and this example honours that reputation. Offered at a tempting guide price, we welcome any inspection. SpecificationMake: FORDModel: LOTUS CORTINA MK1Year: 1963Chassis Number: Z74C073197Registration Number: AFE 718AEngine Number: LP21372LBA Click here for more details and images

An extremely rare and exciting opportunity, especially in the UK, to acquire a simply amazing American muscle carIn common with most US car builders, all searching through their back catalogues for ideas, Dodge reintroduced the Challenger in 2008 as their contribution to the industry’s retro-inspired muscle-car renaissance. Drawing largely from the 1970 Challenger R/T, the new Challenger had a wide, menacing stance and was available in a variety of bespoke colours and with a selection of powerful engines, highlighted by the 425bhp, SRT8. It was an instant hit with MOPAR fans who had been waiting years for a new Challenger.The first face-lift was in 2015, with the high-performance SRT8 replaced by the SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat. The Hellcat was claimed to generate an astonishing 707bhp and was capable of thundering up to 60 mph in only 3.6 seconds on its way to 199 mph. However, the Hellcat was just the beginning of Dodge’s foray in the contemporary horsepower wars.In April 2017, at the New York Auto Show, Dodge debuted the Challenger SRT Demon. Essentially a road-legal drag car, the Demon was powered by 6.2-litre, supercharged HEMI V-8 putting out an incredible 840bhp and 717 foot-pounds of torque, the sort of numbers that would normally apply to a small ocean liner. A redesigned, eight-speed HP90 automatic transmission was created to deal with the power and gear changes could be summoned through steering-mounted paddles. The Demon is capable of screaming past 60 mph in just 1.9 seconds (about half the time it takes to read this sentence) prior to going through the quarter-mile in 9.14 seconds at 152 mph.This, left-hand drive, 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is a one-owner example and has covered just 245 miles from new. Ordered and imported new through Clive Sutton at a cost of £136,950, this special car has been tastefully specified in Pitch Black Clear Coat (PX9) with Demon Logo Laguna/Alcantara seats in black. This Demon even retains its yellow front-splitter shipping protector, which has become a popular item to preserve and offers a stylish bit of flair.Other options include ‘Customer-preferred package 26M’, 6.2-litre Supercharged HEMI V8 SRT engine, 8-spd auto HP90 transmission, monotone paint, rear leather seat option, comfort audio group – leather seats, Demon vehicle storage package, Red seat belts and boot carpet kit.Importantly the car is accompanied by the coveted 'Demon Crate' of parts, a staggering $1 no-brainer option which includes everything required to convert the car on a short-term basis to a Dragster.

Its small size and surprising power output moved it along in traffic, due in part to the fact that the car weighed a mere 1,600 pounds, thus making it rather nippy. Its introduction created such hysteria that Smart built a limited run of 2,000 individually-numbered cars. Described as "an open leisure car uncompromisingly designed for blue skies and high spirits", the concept had no roof, doors, or windscreen and it was more like a beach buggy. The clever packaging came from Mercedes-Benz, who designed the car for the Swiss Swatch Company and also supplied the base engines, which have been tweaked by Brabus to produce 70hp. Priced at €21,000, the car sold out quickly after it was introduced in June 2002. Those of us sufficiently ancient to remember the time when the 'young and beautiful' cruised up and down Carnaby Street in a Beach Buggy on a Saturday Morning in the late-sixties will see this as its natural successor.This Smart Crossblade, which is identified by its individual production number of ‘0063’, is typically presented in the attractive colour combination of black with a red interior. Having only covered 4,644 miles from new, this Crossblade is now offered to auction from a significant private collection and is accompanied by its V5C. Excitingly offered 'without reserve', this is an exciting opportunity to acquire a cool little car to get you efficiently around the large European racing circuit paddocks or provide a fun trip to the beach!   SpecificationMake: SMARTModel: CROSSBLADEYear: 2002Chassis Number: WME01ML012H026368Registration Number: C1 XTCTransmission: 6 Speed Auto Petrol Engine Number: 9820373882 Make: Click here for more details and images

Stunning little fifties Barchetta, a fine piece of Italian art created by Auto Tecnica Lariana.An early production, left-hand drive Alfa Romeo 1900 Berlina saloon dating from 1952 and re-bodied a few years later as a 2-seat Barchetta. Original registration documents confirm the modification in 1959A decade later this example was purchased and further modified by Auto Tecnica Lariana (ATL) known for their stylish sporting CoupesThey set about a ground-up rebuild of the car with hand-made aluminium body panels The original engine was replaced with a later unit from the 100bhp,1900TI developed and built by ATL. The replacement engine utilised Solex carburettors and a high-performance oil pump to 1900SS-specificationATL used the Barchetta during the ‘70s before selling to a collector in the Lake Como area. It was purchased by our vendor in 2018Recently refreshed ready to be offered, currently in the UK on a Temporary Licence ready for export if necessary. If sold in the UK, the 5% duty will be settled by our vendor.Offered here is a unique opportunity to take ownership of this beautiful Alfa Barchetta modified once in the late 1950s and again further developed by Auto Tecnica Lariana. Accompanying the car is a history file including some original photographs of the car being modified in the late 1950s and its original Italian registration documents *(the car is still Italian registered and offered here in the UK on a temporary licence, our vendor has agreed to settle the 5% duty if the car sells to a UK buyer and obtain a NOVA document). Our vendor has provided the following information outlining the fascinating history of this beautiful little piece of Italiana.“Dating from 1952, the car began life as a left-hand drive versions of the Alfa 1900,four door Berlina. It was sold to a Mrs. Maria Da Ros, who we understand was involved in the newly developing fashion industry of the early 60s centred around the via Veneto in Rome. Seven years later, she had the car converted into a two-seater Barchetta and the original registration document attests the official date of the upgrade as being 4th of February 1959.The car was enjoyed during the 60s but we have little knowledge on what type of use and no conformation if it took part at any competition. In 1972, it developed an engine problem and in 1974 Mrs Da Ros sold the car to the renowned Alfa Romeo custom coach builder Auto Tecnica Lariana (ATL)ATL undertook a ‘ground-up’ rebuild of the whole car, creating new aluminium bodywork in their current style. The tubular frame was improved and modified to receive the new panels.The old engine was too far damaged to be rebuilt and ATL fitted one of their own Ti Veloce engines which utilised the Solex Carburettors, aluminium oil pump and exhaust collectors from the most powerful version of the 1900, the SS. So, in effect, ATL had created a unique hybrid Barchetta with Alfa SS DNA.The car was used by ATL for most of the 70s and in 1984 they sold it to a Mr. Roberto Ardenghi, an industrialist and collector in the Lake Como area, who owned and enjoyed the Barchetta until 2018.Since 2018, the car has been with historic coach builders Carrozzeria Altolario di Colico who purchased it and have completed, over the past 3 years, a sympathetic restoration to bring it back to its best. The engine has been completely stripped and rebuilt, retaining the majority of the original parts and components and replacing only those parts that were unserviceable’’.Beautiful, interesting and highly collectable this ATL Alfa Barchetta is offered at the Silverstone Classic 2021 on a realistic guide and is available for any inspection.

A well presented TR6, properly prepared for stage/regularity rallies.Acquired by our vendor six years ago ending his search for the best TR6 (CR) he could findRoad legal but fully prepared to MSA Regs for multi-venue stage rallies, sprints, hill-climbsMajority of the work carried out by established rally driver and preparer, Paul BlackburnThe build sheets and spec run to ten x A4 pages. Copies availableRoad-car parts removed during the conversion have been retained and are included Supplied with its original Bill of Sale, MOTs back to 1985, Triumph Passport, Heritage Certificate, MSA Logbook and moreBuilt at a total cost approaching £50,000, this is a remarkable opportunityEvery October, the Scottish island of Mull becomes a hive of activity before and during the famous Isle of Mull Car Rally. Rally drivers from all over Britain, as well as local drivers from Mull, compete on the island's narrow roads in several stages and several different courses in the UK's only closed-road rally. Some of the stages are during daylight and some at night. It's an immensely social occasion and over more than a quarter of a century, it's become a tradition on the island and very popular with visitors, the rallying fraternity and islanders. It's a time of great excitement, parties and celebrations, the biggest of which is the 'end of rally' firework display in Tobermory.When our client set out to change his rally car and, to be fair, compete with an old friend, he decided that a TR6 was his car of choice. Not an obvious one of course, but winning everything wasn't the motivation and he just fancied a TR6. He also wanted to enter the Mull Rally, an event so special that getting an entry and taking part is probably enough. So, having come up with a plan, he set out to find the best TR6 that he could.This is that car. Bought as essentially, a one-family owned vehicle, it came with an extensive service history and presented in excellent condition. It displayed only 33,000 miles at the time, which could well have been accurate and, surprisingly, it even had the original Bill of Sale establishing some provenance.The TR was passed to established rally driver and preparation expert Paul Blackburn who set about a fastidious build to a competitive spec, the details of which extend to over ten pages. Every single item and process is listed, with costs, showing the extent to which our vendor went in turning this smart road car, into a fully papered road/rally car that could be enjoyed on full-blown forest stages but was just as happy on a club Regularity Run.The build sheets and full spec are too extensive to even think about listing here but all that information is available from our consignor. All the road-car parts removed during the conversion have been retained and are available for collection in the Midlands should the Triumph's next owner wish to return it to a standard road car. It's supplied with its original Bill of Sale, MOTs back to 1985, its Triumph Passport, Heritage Certificate, an MSA Logbook and more.Our vendor competed in the 2015 Mull Rally as planned, and was leading his class when the race was unfortunately stopped due to an accident. He competed again in 2016 since when a couple of years of the rally not being run has sated his appetite. TR6 - Mull Rally, box ticked. Having invested around £50,000 he has now decided that this cracking little TR should now be available for somebody else to enjoy.It would be impossible to produce a car of this standard, built to this spec, for a figure of even twice this guide, so it is a car we very happily commend to our audience. Enjoy it as it is, or turn back the clock, it's just a fluid change and a full spanner-check away from getting back out there.

A multi-talented little TVR racer from 1970, the essence of Club Motorsport fifty years ago.Dating from 1969, this is a factory-built Tuscan V6 LightweightRaced extensively in Modsports 1970 - 1973 with 24 wins and 61 PodiumsRetired from competition around 30 years ago, remaining in storagePurchased by Jason Clegg who commenced a sympathetic restorationFord 3.1-litre Essex V6, rebuilt with parts, help and advice from Ric WoodFull build spec belowPurchased by our vendor, a TVR aficionado, around three years agoFully road-registered and running well but only lightly used recentlyThis venerable TVR Tuscan V6 was first registered in December 1969, and despite looking like an out and out racecar, is a perfectly viable road-registered road car with a wonderful motorsport history The car was successful straight 'out of the box' winning the 1970 Modsports Championship in the hands of Dr .Rod Longton, a General Practitioner. He took delivery of the car in factory-built form with factory options including a lightweight and modified body, a full roll-cage and Koni shock absorbers. This highly respected amateur race driver then campaigned his Tuscan V6 at the front of the field, against Healey 3000s, AC Cobras and Jaguar E-Types throughout the following three seasons, sponsored by the selling dealership - Lockhart Sportscars of Chithurst in Hampshire.The Tuscan's Competition History for the first four seasons is recorded, as follows:1970 - Races 19 - 1st 9 - 2nd 7 - 3rd 11971 - Races 19 - 1st 4 - 2nd 5 - 3rd 81972 - Races 19 - 1st 5 - 2nd 9 - 3rd 41973 - Races 12 - 1st 6 - 2nd 2 - 3rd 1Obviously a very competitive car.Approximately 30 years ago, CLM 99H dropped a valve during a season of hill-climbing in the hands of its second owner, Jack Dilley of Hurley in Berkshire. The car was put back in its garage and the engine removed and taken apart. It then sat there forlornly for 28 years, before It was offered to and purchased by Mr Jason Clegg.He spent a couple of months deciding which route to follow with the car, before deciding that a sympathetic restoration was the best way forward. The body was removed and all mechanical parts were overhauled. The external bodywork and interior were left as original as possible - with various battle scars preserved and the patina of hard competition evident! Full details of the restoration are available from our consignor but the basic build details are as follows;Factory built Tuscan V6 Lightweight with modified bodyOriginal factory roll-cageFord 3.1-litre Essex V6, rebuilt with parts, help & advice from Ric WoodForged pistons, gas-flowed heads, balanced bottom end, alloy timing wheel, baffled sump, roller rockers, triple downdraft Weber carbsCeramic-coated 3-into-1 manifolds with custom side-exit systemAlloy radiator & electric fanRebuilt Capri 3-litre close-ratio gearboxRebuilt 3.7:1 Powerlock diffIntrax adjustable dampers & springs8" Cooper F1 wheels at the front, 10" Pearce wheels at the rearPeriod-style Michelin tyres all round.The TVR was duly sold three years ago to a genuine TVR aficionado, who also collects historic motorbikes. As you would expect, he kept the car in tip top form, using it on the road in appropriate conditions and on suitable track days at Goodwood and elsewhere. All these outings and associated work on the car were of course recorded. The car's previous owner recognised the importance of collecting as much of the history of the car, and of the motor racing scene "Back in the day", and our vendor has added much extra content to the car’s very full provenance records. These include, a copy of the original factory build-sheet dated 28th Nov.1969, the original green logbook (showing only 2 owners!), a notebook with race specs & settings from 1974, a letter from TVR, the Bill of Sale from the first owner Dr Rod Longton to the second owner, various receipts & invoices, Race Programmes (some with this car on the cover),period photographs from various race meetings, and a number of scrutineering passes.The car also features in various articles and TVR publications throughout the years.The car is currently brightly finished in Dark Blue over Electric Blue with a functional black interior. Previous owners have made a point of keeping the car mechanically sound but retaining it's well- used outward appearance and working cockpit. It's a fibreglass-bodied racing car and they all flex and move, because they are supposed to, and cracks in the gel-coat are inevitable. In addition, CLM 99H proudly displays the evidence of a hairpin kiss or two and the occasional cuddle, part and parcel of close club racing. It would obviously be possible to strip and repaint the car but those battle scars are evidence of a determined fight to the top step of the podium many years ago and deserve to stay.CLM 99H has not ventured too far recently with all the restrictions but has managed a couple of Breakfast meets – at Bicester Heritage and also the Suffolk Petrolheads one and only meet of 2020! According to our vendor, "It always attracts lots of attention due to its rarity/racing heritage. I have thoroughly enjoyed driving it on the road over the past year and it’s unlike any other TVR I’ve owned! This little TVR has a big character… and when it’s on a charge it sounds as though fireworks are exploding around my ears"This is a great opportunity to acquire a 1969 V6 Tuscan, a valuable classic in it's own right but, in this case, its value is enhanced by its sheer versatility, with circuit racing, track-days and Car Club days-out all on the cards.

Superbly restored by Jack Barclay, this gracious Mark VI can boast Saudi Royal Provenance and Champs-Élysées chic.A charming example, delivered new to The Bristol Motor Company in 1951Its third owner was H.R.H. Prince Turki Al Faisal, Prince of the Royal Saudi familyHe commissioned a full restoration by Jack Barclay in 1997 including a Mustard Yellow two-tone finish. The interior was totally restored in beautiful tan leather and all woodwork suitably rejuvenated. Receipts are in the file totalling approximately £47,000Not short of glamour throughout its life having lived on the Champs-Élysées followed by a couple of years in a Saudi Royal PalaceFascinating history file containing original factory build-sheets and specifications, invoices for work conducted by Frank Dale and a detailed account of the full restoration by Jack BarclayA splendid opportunity to enjoy the ultimate in fifties' prestige saloon ownershipIt comes with the complete original owners tool kit Introduced in 1946, the MKVI was Bentley's first post-war model and the first vehicle ever offered by the company with factory-designed coachwork. Built around a massive cruciform-braced chassis with independent front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, it was fitted with a freshly developed 4257cc OISE (overhead inlet side exhaust valve) straight-six engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. Capable of over 100mph when clad in the factory's understated 'standard steel saloon' coachwork, the MKVI quickly developed a reputation for being a refined yet responsive drive. Offered here is a charming example of the Mark VI that was delivered new to The Bristol Motor Company in 1951 and later became the personal London car of a prominent Prince of the Royal Saudi family. Purchased by The Bristol Motor Company as a demonstrator in 1951, it was sold to Arthur Short Esq. in December 1951 before ownership passed to H.R.H. Prince Turki Al Faisal who had the Bentley fully restored by Jack Barclay in 1997. With the car is a fascinating history file containing original factory build-sheets and specifications, invoices for work conducted by Frank Dale and a detailed account of the full restoration by Jack Barclay.The Mark VI still carries its original registration from 1951 and, during the 1997 restoration, the Black Belco coachwork was enhanced by a Mustard Yellow two-tone finish highlighting the bodylines, and it seems the favoured colour combination for a two-year stay in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The history file contains shipping details (returned to the UK in 1999) and plenty of correspondence to Jack Barclay and the shipping agents responsible for the Bentleys visit to Saudi Arabia. It seems it also spent time in Paris on the Champs-Élysées with the French registration, 664 ARV 92. The file also contains letters outlining Jack Barclay's collection of the car from Paris in June 1996 by covered wagon before they embarked on their comprehensive restoration.The interior was totally restored in beautiful tan leather and all woodwork suitably rejuvenated. Receipts are in the file totalling approximately £47,000.

Sensibly upgraded, 210bhp, 3.4-litre, 150 Special Equipment from long-term ownership.An original, UK-supplied, RHD, Special Equipment, manual gearbox/overdrive carIntelligently upgraded with the emphasis on enjoyable high-speed touringGetrag 5-speed gearbox fitted in 2013 by Guy BroadCoopercraft front callipers and Koni Classic dampersElectronic ignition and electric cooling fanSuperbly presented in Gloss Black over a light grey interior with chrome wiresGood history file with JDHT Certificate A real drivers specification 150 SE described by our multiple XK150 owner/vendor as the best driving example he has owned778 BWP is a Jaguar XK150 3.4-litre Fixed-head Coupe built to SE specification (manual gearbox with overdrive) and was despatched from the factory to Jaguar dealers, Rothwell and Milbourne of Malvern, on 9th September 1960 and onwards to its first owner, Dr. E J Fitzpatrick.Little is known of the car’s early history, until it became the property of Bill Dick who had traded in his Series1 E-Type 3.8 with M.R. Buckeridge, Classic Jaguar Specialists against his purchase of 778 BWP. He was fastidious in his record-keeping as a detailed log of work carried out on the car and journeys taken by him from 1988 onwards testify. The MOT history and supporting information from 1986 to 2002 shows regular, limited-mileage use backed up by some detailed descriptions of attention to the car, including invoices from the now-famous Mathewsons of Roxby Garage, Thornton Le Dale in 1997.The car passed from Mr Dick’s ownership into the hands Mr J Weatherill who commissioned a major restoration at Robinson and Goodwin Jaguar Specialists in Grimsby, between 2002 and 2005, costing over £30,000 to complete. The supporting documentation confirms an engine rebuild, rewire, repairs and paint to the bodywork and the current condition of the car carries evidence of the quality of the work carried out.The XK was then driven to Spain in 2005 where it remained until 2009/2010, during which time the Spanish documentation confirms the car was maintained in accordance with the Spanish equivalent of MOT standards on an annual basis.In 2011 the car was purchased by Mr A Wood who kept the car on SORN until purchased by our vendor at the Silverstone Auctions Classic Motor Sale at the Birmingham NEC in November 2013.He writes; “Before me bidding for the car I asked Guy Broad to give me his view of the Jaguar and its condition. Based on this very promising report, it was collected by him and given an exacting recommissioning at Guy’s Browns Lane Garage. Since then, it’s been kept under a strict regime of fully documented service, repair, and improvement over my very enjoyable term of custodianship of this classic Jaguar.In summary, 778 BWP has had over £43,000 invested in her since 2003 and remains in tip-top condition providing reliable and enjoyable transport to me since 2013. Although black is not the original colour, when offset against the excellent chrome it makes for a very special vehicle ready for many more years of fantastic touring fun.”Superbly presented in Gloss Black over a light grey interior with chrome wires, it has been intelligently upgraded with the emphasis on enjoyable high-speed touring, including a Getrag 5-speed gearbox fitted in 2013 by Guy Broad, Coopercraft front callipers, Koni Classic dampers, electronic ignition and an electric cooling fanHe has also asked us to include the following; “The only known issue is that the clutch release bearing occasionally squeals a little – it has done this since I got it and may have been noted at the NEC sale from which I purchased the car in November 2013. Guy Broad suggested it would not require attention at the time he re-commissioned the car and it is something I have got used to and just ignore as it soon goes away. It is intermittent and may not appear but I am happier that people know it is not an issue of concern and may be a lack of use thing.”The XK is currently being detailed and fettled in time for the sale and will no doubt look even more impressive when it arrives. This is a delightful example of one of Jaguar’s most stylish and elegant GTs, and will reward any inspection.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK150 SEYear: 1960Chassis Number: S825333DNRegistration Number: 778 BWPTransmission: ManualEngine Number: V7614-8 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey/LeatherClick here for more details and images

Comprehensively restored and matching numbers MK 2 Jaguar sporting the desirable manual gearbox with overdrive. Absolutely stunning throughout.UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 3.8-litre MK2 with a manual gearbox and overdriveComprehensively stripped and restored over a period of two years, costing c.£50,000 in totalSuperbly finished in Opalescent Gunmetal over Bordeaux leather, a classic combinationLess than 1,000 miles covered since rebuildNumerous considerate upgrades to improve performance and usabilityMatching numbers throughout, as confirmed by Jaguar Heritage Trust CertificateThis lovely Mk 2's previous owner was somewhat of a Jaguar aficionado, and had enjoyed the car between 1996 and 2016, using it sparingly as part of his modest collection. The car was known to our vendor for around ten years prior to his purchase and he had often expressed an interest in owning it. The opportunity arose in 2016 and with 55,535 miles on the odometer, our vendor shipped the vehicle, along with an impressive collection of NOS panels and spare parts courtesy of the prior owner, off to those knowledgeable folks at The Splined Hub, who stripped the car down in its entirety and rebuilt it from the ground-up, addressing any issues that they found along the way.Whilst it certainly doesn’t do justice to the level of work done, a brief overview of the restoration process shows that the shell was stripped, dipped and then re-sprayed in the correct Opalescent Gunmetal, whilst the interior was also completely re-upholstered in Bordeaux Red, including new seats, new carpets, fresh veneers, a Moto-Lita steering wheel and a retro-style modern stereo resulting in a Mk 2 Jaguar that looks virtually factory-fresh and benefits from improved creature comforts.The wheels are an entirely new set with the correct knock-off hubs, sitting on a set of matching tyres that have covered less than 1,000 miles since fitting.Under the bonnet, the engine was fully stripped down and upgraded with 9:1 compression pistons, electronic ignition, a set of electronic fans were fitted to keep the car cool in modern traffic, along with a full negative-earth wiring conversion. The braking system was also uprated with four-pot front brakes and 22mm vented-discs.Included with the vehicle is a plethora of photographs documenting the restoration process, along with every invoice and receipt from the restoration itself, totalling around £50,000. In addition to this, the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate is present, confirming that the Mk 2 has been restored to the correct factory specification, along with confirming that this is, indeed, a numbers-matching example.Presented in outstanding condition throughout, this 1965 Mk 2 Jaguar is a true collector’s piece, but one that can also be used and enjoyed without the usual reliability fears associated with cars of this era. A classic sixties Jaguar sporting saloon and a wonderful example of the breed.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: MK 2Year: 1965Chassis Number: 233126DNRegistration Number: AHJ 72CTransmission: Manual/ODEngine Number: LE1254-8 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 56150 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red/LeatherClick here for more details and images

The most thoroughly restored and exactingly finished 2-door Range Rover, resplendent in Tuscan Blue.A superbly restored Range Rover, from the Land Rover engineering skills behind ‘LOF Clutches’Fully restored from the ground up, costing £40,000, with great attention to detail from a team that really know Land RoverWith a finish to rival any 're-engineered' exampleThe 'Suffix B' has the shortest production run of all Range Rovers2-door Classic Range Rovers are wholly endearing and always seem in fashion, blending in effortlessly whether at Goodwood or a local country showThere is a select group of British cars that are instantly recognisable for their silhouettes alone; the Morris Minor, the Mini, the Jaguar E-Type – and the Range Rover, all vehicles that merit that much-abused word ‘iconic’. Although Rover’s head of new vehicle projects, Spencer King, claimed that the design for a new 4x4 was merely a stopgap, the Louvre Museum in Paris described the result of his collaboration with the engineer Gordon Bashford as an 'outstanding piece of modern sculpture'.Sales commenced on June 17th, with prices from £1,998. ‘Autocar’ magazine raved: “What is so good about the Range Rover is the way it carries out its multiple functions, serving equally well as tug, load carrier, cross-country vehicle and, by no means least, as an ordinary car suitable even for commuting in heavy traffic.”Traffic policing further raised the profile of the Range Rover, and by 1971 it was employed by the forces of Cheshire, Kent, Staffordshire and Warwickshire. In 1976, ‘Car’ magazine had "not found a vehicle to challenge the Range Rover”  while observing the Land Cruiser from Japan was “a nasty piece of work”.February 1996 marked the demise of what had become known as the Range Rover ‘Classic’, following the launch of the second-generation Range Rover two years earlier, by which time some examples resembled a mobile gin-palace. In the words of that ‘Car’ article of 44 years ago: “It really is just as happy in the deep mire of a forest as in the King’s Road”  and to quote ‘Motor’ magazine of 1975: “It isn’t perfect, but there are so few cars which even begin to compete. We love it!”Even today, Range Rover illustrates this model in its advertisements to help promote its latest version of the brand. This tells you all you need to know about the original Range Rover: it is a design icon. Being of Land Rover ancestry, it goes without saying that it is immensely strong and yet with its air of quiet sophistication, it is also a simple vehicle by today’s standards, making it easy to maintain and run.This particular car is a 1972 ‘Suffix B’ version, the second iteration in the 25-year-long series of models. ‘Suffix B’ cars were produced between January and October 1973, making it the shortest production run of any Range Rover model. It featured many improvements over the more common ‘Suffix A’ such as rear window wash-wipe, better sound deadening, more instrumentation, a larger twin outlet water bottle and much else besides.This particular Suffix B was hand-picked by our vendor, a very well-respected Land Rover authority, for a full and comprehensive restoration, costing in the end, approximately £40,000. Like all Range Rovers from this era, wet weather and time take their toll, and this is where a 'proper' restoration differs from a mere restoration. Our vendor knows the difference, so this Range Rover's body was fully acid-dipped and neutralised, followed by extensive welding to the rear floor, rear arches, rear crossmember, front foot wells and front bulkhead; the front end was renewed with high-quality pattern parts. The body was then acid-dipped again, followed by being epoxy painted, seam-sealed and then repainted in Tuscan Blue, this alone costing £11,000.The Rover 3.5-litre V8 engine was fully rebuilt, re-bored, and refitted with a reground crank, new cam, pistons and ancillaries. The original 4-speed LT95 gearbox was also fully rebuild with a vacuum diff-lock. The axles too were fully restored and rebuilt, whilst the original chassis was inspected, cleaned and treated, but remarkably required no welding! The underbody was then paint protected and insulated using a body-coloured Schultz finish.The process continued with the fitting of a brand new full stainless steel exhaust system, a set of Blockley tyres (specially made to mimic the original style Michelin tyres, costing £900) and many hard-to-find parts sourced from contacts, including new light lenses, ignition barrel and clocks etc. Details like the use of a full original fasteners kit, with the correct period fasteners (costing over £1,000), have all been done correctly. New window seals all round, a new 'Famous Four' aluminium tailgate, genuine Land Rover front grille, and fuel tank. The upholstery was fully retrimmed by a highly skilled trimmer and reinstalled with the original 'Kit-Kat' beige seating. This finished Range Rover has been 'shaken down', set-up correctly and enjoyed for a few hundred miles since its restoration. The odometer was zeroed upon completion, given the extent of the work done, and is now ready to be enjoyed by an enthusiast who will have many years of pleasurable Classic Range Rover ownership head of them.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: RANGE ROVER 1ST GENYear: 1972Chassis Number: 35505627BRegistration Number: LFL 382LTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 20304411 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

The 300 marked a post-war return to Mercedes-Benz tradition of building high-performance, luxury automobiles of the highest quality.Supplied new to Australia in right-hand drive, this rare W189 Type 300D Adenauer has benefitted from the warm dry climate and presents beautifullyFinished in gleaming Schwartz paintwork with extremely well preserved Bordeaux leather interiorA matching numbers example accompanied by its original book-pack with service book and driver's manualsBenefitting from a recent (200 miles ago) full inspection and service with a written report. No warnings or advisories and described as 'on-the-button'Imported into the UK with taxes paid on a NOVA with V5c applied for by our vendorA well-built, graceful, luxurious classic car rarely seen on British roads, an unusual discovery in such fine orderThe car of choice among West German government officials and was widely favoured by businessmen, financiers and politicians, indeed, 'Adenauer' became its unofficial model name, after German Chancellor Dr Konrad Adenauer, its most famous customer Daimler-Benz AG emerged from the smoking rubble of World War II in somewhat precarious health, with production plants that had been pretty comprehensively levelled by Allied bombing. Far from being a broken nation, the resilience of the workforce was remarkable and Mercedes-Benz resumed car production in 1946, albeit with the pre-war 170V, a modest middle-class car that had been their best-seller in the 1930s. However, in less than six years, the company was sufficiently confident to return to the luxury market when the Mercedes 300 was introduced at the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show and for the duration of the Fifties, Mercedes-Benz prestige line-up was based on the 300 range, at the heart of which was essentially the same superb 2996cc overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine found in the legendary 300SL 'Gullwing'.The 300 Saloon was aimed squarely at Captains of Industry and Heads of State - indeed, the model was nicknamed 'Adenauer' after Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. In office from 1949 to 1963, he employed six custom convertible, hardtop, and landaulet versions during his tenure. Inside, the 300 was beautifully executed in polished wood, with deep bucket seats trimmed in either cloth or leather and a division was available as an option for those who preferred to be chauffeur driven. Improvements came with the 300B of 1954 in the form of twin Solex carburettors, along with servo-assisted brakes and minor styling changes while the 300C model of September 1955 saw the option of a Borg-Warner three-speed automatic for the American market. Introduced in August 1957, the 300d was the linear successor to the 300c, with a longer wheelbase, fuel injection, and unique hardtop configuration transforming it into a pillarless 'Phaeton'. An additional four-inches of wheelbase provided greater rear legroom, equalling that of the long wheelbase Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Removable rear quarter-lights allowed an unobstructed view in and out from the front vent window all the way to the back, much valued in the model's popular role as a 'parade car'. Employing a slightly detuned version of the 300 SL sports cars Bosch fuel injected engine, the 300D produced 180bhp at 5500 rpm. Automatic transmission was standard and power brakes, power steering, and Artic-Kar air-conditioning were added as options.Offered here is a truly magnificent 1959 Mercedes-Benz (W189) 300D delivered new in right-hand drive to Australia. Presented in Schwartz-black paintwork with a remarkably well preserved, luxurious Bordeaux leather interior this particular ‘Adenauer’ has benefitted from the warm, dry Australian climate. It's fitted with a matching-numbers, fuel-injected, 3.0-litre straight-six making 180bhp coupled to a 3-speed automatic transmissionConsigned from a private Mercedes-Benz collection and selected for its superb condition, the 300D’s bodywork has benefitted from some cosmetic attention with the underside also in good order as might be expected from a vehicle from a dry country vehicle. The inside is well-preserved and largely original, good condition, retaining the deep-red factory leather upholstery and the wooden door caps, veneers, Bakelite and chrome all present with patina commensurate with the car’s age. All of the controls, gauges, and electrics currently work as they should.Although MOT exempt due to its ‘Historic’ car status, the 300D was subject to a full Lubrication Service under 200 miles ago in 2020, with no warnings or advisories. The invoice on file details a full oil and filter change with engine flush and supply of new battery. The major service included checking; engine fluids, V-belts, brake pads and handbrake operation, engine ignition system, all electrical items, brake fluid and coolant levels. Also, a full inspection of underbody including; suspension bushes, steering system, exhaust system, prop shaft and couplings, fuel tank lines and wheel bearings.It's accompanied by a detailed history file including the original owners manuals, service book and the original tool kit. All taxes have been paid and the car comes with its NOVA letter from the DVLA and the V5 logbook has been applied for. Wearing its 62 years well, the 300D starts on-the-button, drives well, stops as it should with the body showing no obvious accident damage.This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a truly remarkable 300D 'Adenauer'. Its commanding presence and stately manner are irresistible to both occupants and bystanders alike.

This beautiful Quattrovalvole Spider is undoubtedly one of the nicest examples we have seen for years.Resplendent in Rosso with a complementing black interiorThe subject of a four-year restoration including body, interior and mechanicalsSupplied with a lovely in-depth history file, workshop and owners manualsLast serviced by Keys Motorsport in August 2020 at 53,052 milesWith just 53,000 miles, sparkling paintwork and an engine refresh, this could be a very sensible investmentDesigned as a replacement for the 246 Dino and launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1975, the 308GT was built alongside the 308GT4. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti, the man who styled some of the most iconic Ferraris including the Daytona, the new 308 sported rakish and attractive bodywork which fused classic elements of Ferrari styling with a thoroughly modern design. For the first two years of production, the body of the 308 was produced in fibreglass, after which, steel was used. The 308 shared a tubular frame chassis similar to the original Dino and 308GT4 from which was hung four wheel, double-wishbone, independent suspension. The engine was a V8 unit which was positioned behind the driver and transversely mounted with double overhead camshafts and four 40DCNF Weber carburettors, latterly replaced with Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection. At the 1982 Paris Motor Show, Ferrari introduced the 308 'Quattrovalvole', in GTB and GTS form and the main change from its predecessor were the four valves per cylinder—hence its name, quattrovalvole, literally 'four valves' in Italian—which pushed output back up to 240hp restoring some of the performance lost to the emission-control equipment. The interior also received some minor updates including a satin-black, three-spoke steering wheel with triangular centre and cloth seat-centres became available as an option to the standard full leather.This beautiful Quattrovalvole Spider is undoubtedly one of the nicest examples we have seen for years. It's classically finished in Rosso with a Nero interior and has been with its current owner for 11 years during which time the car has been lovingly and painstakingly restored. Excluding the glass-out repaint, some £17,000 has been invested in this lovely Ferrari bringing it up to the splendid condition that it displays today. £7,000 worth of this relates to a single invoice in 2018 from marque guru, Terry Keys, which details a complete engine strip-down, the re-machining of 32 valve guides, new timing belt, HT leads and plugs and various ancillary parts to complete the build including a water pump and of course new gaskets. Keys Motorsport were also responsible for the car's stunning paintwork, however, there is no receipt for this.The interior also received attention with the seat facings being replaced with fresh leather, along with the door cards and dash top, all finished off with a new carpet set, making the cabin a terrific place to be. A453 HPK is accompanied by a lovely in depth history file, 308 Workshop Manual, Ferrari Spares Catalogue along with the Owners Manuals etc. housed within the original book pack presenter and has no less than 23 old MOT Certificates including the very first one. There is also an invoice for the very first service completed by Cairnwell Garage of Aberdeen for the sum of £306.73, quite a bill for 1985 . The wheels and tyres have also been replaced as the car was running on old style TRX metric rubber and now sits on 16” rims making tyre replacement a lot easier. This has been a labour of love but now this sparkling QV is at the top of its game and with just 53,000 miles and an engine refresh, could be a very sensible investment.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 308 GTSI QVYear: 1984Chassis Number: 48585Registration Number: A453 HPRTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 48585Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 53200 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Small size, big character; an exceptional example of the Austrian Automakers classic 500.Rarely seen in the UK, a delightful example with remarkably low indicated mileage, fresh from a beautiful restoration and full engine rebuildItalian-supplied in 1958, the car was found in Rome belonging to a local doctor, before being sourced by our vendor five years agoLovingly restored in Rome and Bologna by passionate Italian craftsmen, body finished in  Primrose with an Apple Green and Cream two-tone interiorAs part of its recent restoration in 2017, the car received a full engine rebuild, including new Weber carb and Bosch ignition, and our vendor says that it starts and runs flawlessly todayOnly 567km (352 miles) since the restorationImported to the UK in 2017 and first registered here on 01/01/2018Supplied with the factory build sheet, owner's handbook (in Italian), a letter of authentication from the Steyr-Puch Club of Austria signed and stamped by the Club President, restoration photographsVisually almost identical to the stalwart of Italian motoring that is the Fiat 500, the Steyr-Puch 500 was far more than an Austrian 500 built under license.Founded in 1934, Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG produced everything from military machinery and weapons to tractors, planes and cars, both during peacetime and in times of conflict. Following the second world war, the company was able to resume automobile production with thanks to help from Fiat, though long-gone were the heady days of producing four and six-cylinder engined cars, instead having to rely on small, economical cars, such as the 500 which was built under licence as part of their manufacturing partnership with Fiat. This partnership also included Steyr-Puch becoming the official importer of Fiat vehicles, along with modifying the cars for the domestic Austrian market’s requirements.For the S-P 500, Fiat supplied the chassis, front end and interior - all of which are identical to the Fiat-built car - but Steyr-Puch made a few mechanical changes, most notably the inclusion of a ZF gearbox, and replacing the usual Fiat 500 engine with a 493cc boxer-twin.Internally, these Austrian 500s received different upholstery and a speedometer that turns counter-clockwise, whilst on the outside larger air intakes allowed for more efficient engine cooling and underneath the Steyr-Puch 500 also sported enlarged drum brakes and improved shock absorbers for better ride quality.This particular 1958-registered example was built during the second year of Steyr-Puch 500 production, and was brought to the vendor’s attention by an agent in Germany, who was selling the car on behalf of the previous owner, who resided in Italy.The prior owner had this ‘500’ restored not once, but twice during his ownership, in both Rome and Bologna, leaving this S-P 500 in factory-fresh condition, and around 300 photographs of the restoration process are included with the vehicle, detailing the work that was carried out.Naturally, for a car of such quality, it starred in an Italian classic car magazine - a copy of which is included with the car - before being imported into the UK by its current owner in late 2017, and registered on its current plate on 01 January 2018.In total, around 567km (c.350 miles) have been recorded on the odometer since the restoration, meaning this is about as close to a box-fresh, Steyr-Puch 500 as you’ll likely ever find, and the condition of the vehicle certainly reflects its low mileage.Regarding the documentation, alongside the aforementioned photographs of the restoration process, the owner also has a selection of documentation and paperwork from the car’s time in Italy, the factory build-sheet, an owner’s handbook (in Italian) and a letter from the Steyr-Puch club of Austria confirming the authenticity of the car, which is also signed and stamped by the club’s President.Internally, externally and mechanically, this Graz-built 500 is in outstanding condition, with no signs of any wear, tear or patina that we can see. A true icon of the motoring world and with an unusual back-story that few other 500s can boast, this rare Steyr-Puch 500 is a wonderful collector's piece and ready to enjoy.SpecificationMake: STEYR-PUCHModel: 500Year: 1958Chassis Number: 5103665Registration Number: 731 UYYTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 5103700 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 567 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Green Leather Click here for more details and images

Die Harrachs sind ein österreichisches und böhmisches Adelsgeschlecht und gehörten zu den prominentesten im stark katholischen Habsburgerreich. - Erste spanische Ausgabe der "Cartas que os Padres e Irm�os da Companhia de Iesus", dem ersten europäischen Druckwerk überhaupt, das chinesische und japanische Schriftzeichen enthält. Lange Zeit hatten Bibliographen fälschlicherweise die Bücher von Escalante (1577) und Mendoza (1585) über China oder den Atlas von Ortelius (1584) als die ersten Publikationen mit chinesischen und japanischen Schriftzeichen bezeichnet. Dieses seltene und wichtige Werk wurde ursprünglich in portugiesischer Sprache als eine Sammlung von Briefen veröffentlicht, die von Missionaren der Gesellschaft Jesu aus Japan zwischen 1549 und 1571 geschrieben wurden, gedruckt von Antonio de Marijs in Coimbra im Jahr 1570. Die vorliegende spanische Ausgabe ist wesentlich um Material erweitert, das im portugiesischen Druck von 1570 nicht enthalten war: S. 1-30 enthalten einen biographischen Bericht über Franz Xaver, den ersten christlichen Missionar in Japan: "La vida del padre maestro Francisco Xauier.", gefolgt von "Y relacion de las cosas de la India, que imprimio en latin Manuel de Acosta." mit Anmerkungen zu (in dieser Reihenfolge) Goa, Cochin, Daman, Ceylon, Comorin, Bassein, Ormuz, Äthiopien, Inambay und Manomotapa, Malaca, den Molukken, Ambonia, Solor, Macassar usw. Hinzu kommen 10 Briefe (insgesamt 87), die zwischen 1567 und 1571 geschrieben wurden, sowie ein kurzer Bericht über die Inseln Japans. Die Briefe stammen von Franz Xaver, Cosme de Torres, Juan Fernandez, Luis de Almeida, Luigi Froes, Gaspar Vilela, Melchior de Figueredo und anderen. - Bll. 1 (Einleitung), 2 (Titelbl.), 3 (Einleitung), 8 und 9 (Widmung in memoriam an Papst Pius IV.), sowie das 1.

Marginalien, einige andere Seiten sehr leicht stockfleckig. Handgeschriebener Kurztitel auf dem Vorsatz.(Letters from the fathers and brothers of the Society of Jesus, who went to the kingdoms of Japan, written in the years 1549 to 1571 to those of the same society. In which news is given of the various customs and idolatries of that gentility, as well as fidelity to their principles and success and benevolence of the Christians of those parts is told.)

Copy from the library of the counts of Harrach with their oval collection stamp "Ex bibliotheca Viennensi" on dedication leaf (5 recto). The Harrach's are an Austrian and Czech noble family and were among the most prominent in the strongly Catholic Habsburg Empire. - First Spanish edition of "Cartas que os Padres e Irm�os da Companhia de Iesus", the first European printed book ever to contain Chinese and Japanese characters. For a long time bibliographers had wrongly quoted the books of Escalante (1577) and Mendoza (1585) about China, or the atlas of Ortelius (1584) to be the first publications with Chinese and Japanese characters. This scarce and important work was originally published in Portuguese language as a collection of letters written by missionaries of the Society of Jesus from Japan between 1549 and 1571, printed by Antonio de Marijs in Coimbra in the year 1570. Present Spanish edition is substantially augmented with additional material not contained in the 1570 Portuguese print: Folios 1-30 contain a biographical account on Francis Xavier, the first Christian missionary in Japan: "La vida del padre maestro Francisco Xauier.", followed by "Y relacion de las cosas de la India, que imprimio en latin Manuel de Acosta." with remarks on (in order of appearance) Goa, Cochin, Daman, Ceylon, Comorin, Bassein, Ormuz, Ethiopia, Inambay and Manomotapa, Malaca, the Moluccas, Ambonia, Solor,Macassar etc. Also added are 10 letters (to make it a total of 87), written between 1567 and 1571, and a brief account of the islands of Japan. The letters derive from Francis Xavier, Cosme de Torres, Juan Fernandez, Luis de Almeida, Luigi Froes, Gaspar Vilela, Melchior de Figueredo and others. - Leaves 1 (introducing note), 2 (title leaf), 3 (introducing notes), 8 and 9 (dedication in memoriam to Pope Pius IV.), as well as the 1st (colophon recto, wood-cut with crucified Jesus verso) and last (list of errata) leaves of the appendix are missing; leaves 1-4 Book block with tight cut at top edge, therefore some pages with faults at top caption and pagination; former tear at leaf 146 enforced, margins of not paginated leaves 5-9 and the last 4 leaves with contemporary restoration using mould paper, last leaf with missing edges at corners; leaf 3 with 2cm tear at upper right corner, leaf 9 missing, 10 missing lower part, leaves 24-24 wormy at bottom edge (no text loss), printer's wrong pagination at 29 (printed "25"), 52 (printed "25"), 83 (printed "53"), 163 (printed "159"), some pages with hand-written marginals, some other pages very slightly foxy. Hand-written short title on 1st fly leaf recto.

Nrn. 1684 bzw. 1523. - Tobler, Topographie von Jerusalem, 1853, Chron. Nr. 1664. - Sehr seltene Ausgabe der Beschreibung einer 1664 stattgehabten Reise von der Hohen Pforte nach Palästina. - Als Autor wird Heinrich Mirike (niederländ. Hendrik Myrike), "weyl. Reformirter Prediger bey der holländischen Gesandtschaft in Konstantinopel" (Titelbl.), genannt. Das Vorwort des Augsburger Verlegers Bürglen. Zwischen den Zeilen gelesen lässt sich aber schließen, dass es sich dabei um einen fiktiven Reisenden und demnach auch um einen Bericht handelt, der von Johann Heinrich Reiz, dem als Herausgeber aufscheinenden radikalen Pietisten, verfasst wurde. Das lassen auch die meist historischen und geographischen Anmerkungen von Reiz vermuten. Nichtsdestotrotz sind die topographischen Angaben sehr detailliert, es ist also anzunehmen, das auch Reiz selbst eine Pilgerfahrt nach Palästina unternommen hatte, die in vorliegendes Textkompositum eingeflossen ist. Umfänglicher beschrieben werden (in dieser Reihenfolge) Jaffa (Joppe), Ramla, Damaskus, dann natürlich Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jericho, die Ufer des Jordan, Samaria, Nazareth und der See Genezareth. Es folgt eine "Zugabe" über Geschichte und Kultur der Osmanen und schließlich ein Anhang mit einem Auszug aus "Peter Füßlins Beschreibung seiner Reise nach dem gelobten Lande" von Johann Conrad Füßlin. Peter Füßlin war laut Vorbericht ein Zürcher Ratsherr, der 1523 eine Pilgerfahrt ins Heilige Land unternommen hatte. Die Erstausgabe der Schrift war 1714 erschienen, und erlebte das populäre Buch im Laufe des 18. Jahrhunderts inklusive der hier vorliegenden noch mindestens 5 weitere Auflagen. 1725 erschien außerdem in Rotterdam eine mit Kupfern angereicherte niederländische Ausgabe in der Übersetzung von Wilhelm Otto Reiz, dem Sohn des Verfassers. - Vorderspiegel mit Tintenfleck, Titelbl. partiell aus Bindung gelöst. Ordentliches und breitrandig auf festem Bütten gedrucktes Exemplar. Constantinople - Jerusalem - After the title page the author is Heinrich Mirike, however the foreword of the Augsburg publisher Bürglen allows the conclusion that this is a fictitious traveller and therefore also a report, which was written by Johann Heinrich Reiz (1655-1720), the alleged editor and radical Pietist. This is also suggested by Reitz's mostly historical and geographical annotations. Nevertheless, the topographical information is very detailed, so it can be assumed that Reitz himself also made a pilgrimage to Palestine, which is integrated in this text. It includes detailed descriptions of Jaffa (Joppe), Ramla, Damascus, then, of course, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jericho, the banks of the Jordan, Samaria, Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee. It contains also an "addendum" on the history and culture of the Ottomans and finally an appendix (pp. 207-224) with an extract from "Peter Füßlins Beschreibung seiner Reise nach dem gelobten Lande" by Johann Conrad Füßlin. According to the preface, Peter Füßlin was a Zurich councillor who had made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1523. - The first edition of the popoular book was published in 1714 and in the course of the 18th century had at least 5 further editions, including the present one. In 1725 also a Dutch edition, enriched with copper engravings, was published in Rotterdam in a translation by Wilhelm Otto Reitz, the son of the author. - Untrimmed block in an interim cardboard bound with thread and covered with paper in light brown shades (somewhat rubbed, glued tears to the spine and board, corners and edges bumped). - Pasted endpaper with ink spot.

(Titel) und 100 Tafeln. Lose Kartonblätter in Orig.-Halbleinwand-Mappe (minimal angestaubt, Gelenke partiell eingerissen). Erste Ausgabe. - Auer 164. - Bartolotti 87,90. - Schöne stimmungsvolle Sammlung von Art Deco Aktfotografien des Pariser Fotografen, der sich Lucien Waléry nannte."Woher er kam, wo und wann er geboren wurde, schien niemand zu wissen. Seine Herkunft blieb geheimnisvoll. Schnell erwarb sich Lucien Waléry einen respektablen Ruf, vorzugsweise als Porträtist schillernder Geschöpfe der Bühnen- und Halbwelt-Prominenz. Seine diesbezüglich zahlreichen Bilder pflegte er gerne schwungvoll mit "Waléry - Paris" zu signieren. Zuweilen bediente er sich aber auch der Anagramme "Yrélaw" oder "Laryew". Berühmt sind seine vor 100 Jahren gewagten Aufnahmen von Revue-Tänzerinnen - namentlich von Josephine Baker und Mata Hari. Waléry wird oft mit Stanislaw Julian Ignacy Graf Ostroróg, 1863-1935 verwechselt, stilkritisch gesehen, könnten Waléry und der Graf Ostoróg sehr wohl ein und dieselbe Person gewesen sein" (vgl. hierzu Jürg H. Meyer, Wer war Walery?). - Tafeln papierbedingt leicht gebräunt, insgesamt sehr gut erhalten. With 100 photogravures in Sepia by Walery. Beautiful atmospheric collection of Art Deco nudes by the Parisian photographer who called himself Lucien Waléry. "Where he came from, where and when he was born, nobody seemed to know. His origins remained a mystery. Lucien Waléry quickly acquired a respectable reputation, preferably as a portraitist of dazzling creatures of the stage and demimonde. He liked to sign his numerous pictures in this respect with "Waléry - Paris". Sometimes, however, he also used the anagrams "Yrélaw" or "Laryew". His daring photographs of revue dancers 100 years ago - namely Josephine Baker and Mata Hari - are famous. Waléry is often confused with Stanislaw Julian Ignacy Count Ostroróg, 1863 - 1935, but from a stylistic point of view Waléry and the GRaf Ostoróg could very well have been one and the same person" (cf. Jürg H. Meyer, Wer war Walery?). - Boards slightly browned due to the paper, overall very well preserved.

"Für seinen Himmelsglobus entnahm er die Sternpositionen dem Verzeichnis von Vincenzo Coronelli (1650-1718). Unter anderem haben sich Globen von J. L. Andreae erhalten in Nürnberg (1715), Regensburg (1716), Gotha (1716, 1717), Frankfurt (1717) und im Deutschen Museum München (1715, 1717)" (Gudrun Wolfschmidt, Astronomie in Nürnberg. Hamburg, 2010, S. 119/20). - Frontispiz mit minmimalen Defekten im weißen Außenrand, Titel oben bis an das erste Wort beschnitten, die Textseiten und Tafeln aber durchweg mit ca. 1 cm Kopfsteg.

Astronomie - - Isaac Frost. Serie von 6 seltenen astronomischen Drucken. Gestochen von W.P. Chubb & Son. London, George Baxter, 1846. Blattmaße je 25 x 31 cm. Enthält: Plate 1, The Newtonian System of the Universe. Plate 3, The Newtonian System. Plate 6, The Newtonian System. Plate 7, System According to the Holy Scriptures. Plate 9, System According to the Holy Scriptures. Plate 10, System According to the Holy Scriptures. - Äußerst seltene Serie von sechs astronomischen Stichen in Blau-, Weiß-, Gelb- und Grüntönen. Sie basieren auf Planetenkarten, die von dem Künstler und Wissenschaftler Isaac Frost gezeichnet wurden. Frost gehörte der viktorianischen Sekte der Muggletonianer an, welche Newtonsche Physik zugunsten biblischer Aussagen, insbesondere aus dem Buch Henoch, ablehnte. Die vorliegende Arbeit vergleicht die heliozentrische Astronomie Newtons mit der von Muggleton bevorzugten geozentrischen Sichtweise. Die Blätter wurden ursprünglich im Jahr 1846 veröffentlicht unter dem Titel "Two Systems or Astronomy: First, the Newtonian System, Second, the System in Accordance with the Holy Scriptures" und wurden wahrscheinlich nur an Mitglieder der Sekte verteilt. Sie wurden von Chubb & Son, London, gestochen und von George Baxter gedruckt, der seine innovative Ölfarbendrucktechnik einsetzte, die subtile Abstufungen und nahtlose Übergänge zwischen den Farben für einen leuchtenden Effekt erlaubte. - Vereinzelt mit kl. Braunflecken und in den Rändern zart gebräunt. Astronomy - Series of 6 rare astronomical prints. Engraved by W.P. Chubb & Son. - Contains: see above. Engravings in shades of blue, white, yellow and green. They are based on planetary maps drawn by the artist and scientist Isaac Frost. Frost belonged to the Victorian sect of Muggletonians, which rejected Newtonian physics in favour of biblical statements, especially from the Book of Enoch. The present prints compare Newton's heliocentric astronomy with the geocentric view favoured by Muggleton. The sheets were originally published in 1846 under the title "Two Systems or Astronomy: First, the Newtonian System, Second, the System in Accordance with the Holy Scriptures" and were probably distributed only to members of the sect. They were engraved by Chubb & Son, London, and printed by George Baxter, who used his innovative oil colour printing technique that allowed subtle gradations and seamless transitions between colours for a luminous effect. - Sporadically with small brown spots and delicately browned in the margins.

Von G. Brocchi" (nach Campi von Pietro Ruga gestochen). - Brocchi korrigierte die irrigen Ansichten von Scipione Breislak, der meinte, Rom befinde sich auf dem Gelände eines Vulkans, dem er die vulkanischen Materialien zuordnete, die die Sieben Hügel bedecken. Brocchi wies darauf hin, dass diese Materialien entweder vom Monte Albano oder von den Monti Cimini stammten. - Karte etwas gebräunt u. mit Wurmgang im weißen Rand. Geology - With 2 fold., hand coloured plates and 1 fold., col. geological map in a separate volume. - First edition of this noteworthy work on the geology of Rome, with the often missing map "Carta fisica del suolo di Roma ne primi tempi della fondazione di questa città. Di G. Brocchi" (dis. by Campi and engr. by Pietro Ruga). - Brocchi corrected the erroneous views of Scipione Breislak, who conceived that Rome occupies the site of a volcano, which he ascribed the volcanic materials that cover the seven hills. Brocchi pointed out that these materials were derived either from Monte Albano, an extinct volcano, or from the Monti Cimini. - Map somewhat browned and with a small worm track in the white margin.

Geologie - - Johann Friedrich Zückert. Die Naturgeschichte einiger Provinzen des Unterharzes nebst einem Anhange von den Mansfeldischen Kupferschiefern.

Seit 1765 war er Mitglied der Leopoldinischen Akademie. Laut Besitzerstempel gehörte dieses Exemplar einst einem Mitglied der berühmten Familie Veltheim, das sich für Mineralogie interessierte. So z.B. Franz Wilhelm Werner von Veltheim (1785-1839), ein Bergbauexperte und Leiter der Bergbauanstalt in Berlin oder August Ferdinand Graf von Veltheim (1741-1801), der 1790 von Kaiserin Katharina von Russland zum Generalinspektor der Bergwerke und Salinen in den westlichen Gebieten des russischen Reiches ernannt wurde. Geology - Contemporary half leather (rubbed and soiled). Interleaved with blank pages, but with no handwriting on the blanks. Old ownership stamp: R. Gr(af). v(on). Veltheim. Modern Ex Libris: Carl Volk. - Very scarce work on copper slate in the german Oberharz area. A companion volume to the author's Die Naturgeschichte und Bergwerksverfassung des Oberharzes published in 1762. This work also describes the mineral resources of the Harz mountains of Germany in much the same manner as the earlier work. Johann Friedrich Zückert (1737-1778) was a german physician and the author of many books on medicine, balneology, and geology. Since 1765 he was a member of the Leopoldian Academy. This work once belonged to a member of the famous Veltheim family, whose member had been interested in mineralogy. Like Franz Wilhelm Werner von Veltheim (1785-1839), a mining expert and after Gerhard's death head of the mining establishment in Berlin. And August Ferdinand Graf von Veltheim (1741-1801), who was in 1790 appointed by Empress Catherine of Russia as general inspector of mines and saltworks in the western regions of the Russian empire.

Ornithologie - - Johann Georg Wilhelm Brandt (zugeschr.). Pitta strepitans Cuv., Neu Holland. Um 1840. Aquarelle, Gouache und Feder auf Velin, in Weiß und Eiweiß gehöht. Blattmaße 40 x 26,5 cm. Seltene und sehr schöne Originalzeichnung einer Lärmpitta, die durch einen Brief einem frühen Nachfahren der Familie Brandt zugeschrieben wird: W. Brandt mit einem naturhistorischen Geschäft in Hamburg, also höchstwahrscheinlich: Johann Georg Wilhelm Brandt oder dessen Sohn, der das Geschäft übernahm. Die Lärmpitta ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Pittidae und kommt im östlichen Australien und südlichen Neuguinea vor. William John Swainson beschrieb sie im Jahr 1825 anhand eines in New South Wales gesammelten Exemplars. Der spezifische Name, versicolor, ist lateinisch für vielfarbig. John Gould beschrieb die Unterart Pitta versicolor simillima im Jahr 1868 und sie wurde von Emma Gould gezeichnet. - Etwas lichtrandig durch frühere Rahmung. Minimal atelierspurig. Farbleuchtend. Ornithology - Rare and very fine original drawing of a noisy pitta, attributed by a letter to an early family descendant: W. Brandt with a natural history shop in Hamburg, therefore most probably: Johann Georg Wilhelm Brandt or his son who took over the shop. The noisy pitta (Pitta versicolor) is a species of bird in the family Pittidae and is found in eastern Australia and southern New Guinea. Its natural habitats are temperate forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. William John Swainson described the noisy pitta in 1825 based on a specimen collected in New South Wales. The specific name, versicolor is latin for multicoloured. John Gould described the subspecies Pitta versicolor simillima in 1868 and it was drawn by Emma Gould. - Slightly light stained due to former framing. With minimal workshop traces. Colourbright condition.

Paris, Bordas, 1949. 226 S. 8° OBrosch. Lifar war ein ukrainisch-französischer Tänzer und Choreograf. Er gilt als einer der großen Tänzer der 1930er und 1940er Jahre. Er gehörte zu der Generation von russischen Künstlern, die nicht nur Russland und Frankreich Ruhm brachten, sondern den weiteren Entwicklungsweg des Balletts weltweit mitbestimmten. Er besuchte 1920 die Ballettklassen von Bronislava Nijinska am Opernballett in Kiew. Als Nijinska 1921 Russland verließ und in Paris wieder bei Sergei Djagilews Ballets Russes tanzte, folgte er ihr und trat 1923 in Djagilews Ensemble ein, zunächst als Tänzer, später als Choreograf. Dort nahm er weiteren Ballettunterricht bei Nicholas Legat und Enrico Cecchetti. Seit 1932 inszenierte Lifar die Ballette des russischen Komponisten Sergei Prokofjew. With 2 original drawings by Lifar on a separate additional cover, 1 dedicated original drawing by Serge Lifar, 91 plates after drawings by Monique Lancelot, followed by 36 plates after photographs of the ballet performances and a cover design by Serge Lifar.Lifar was a Ukrainian-French dancer and choreographer. He is considered one of the great dancers of the 1930s and 1940s. He belonged to the generation of Russian artists who not only brought fame to Russia and France, but also helped shape the further development of ballet worldwide. He attended Bronislava Nijinska's ballet classes at the Kiev Opera Ballet in 1920. When Nijinska left Russia in 1921 and returned to dance with Sergei Djagilew's Ballets Russes in Paris, he followed her and joined Djagilew's company in 1923, first as a dancer, later as a choreographer. There he took further ballet lessons with Nicholas Legat and Enrico Cecchetti. From 1932, Lifar staged the ballets of the Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.

ALISON BRITTON (born 1948); a square earthenware box (minus its cover) decorated with pigs, made circa 1972, height 9cm. (D)PR – I got this pot (which I call ‘Topless Pigs’) from someone who studied at the RCA at the same time as Alison Britton. I showed it to Alison who was greatly embarrassed by it and asked me to destroy it. In my opinion, Alison is one of the most important potters of the last quarter of the 20th century – and while this is certainly very far from a masterpiece, it is an interesting documentary work which, I think, should be preserved.

[ Autographs ] A vinyl LP record of the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's "Clockwork Orange" bearing the director's signature on the sleeve front. [Collected in person by the vendor's father-in-law Mr Roy Smith, while working as a Senior Projectionist in the dubbing theatre of Elstree Studios. A note from the vendor reads "At this particular time they were working on the film Clockwork Orange, the theatre was a closed theatre, with a Mr Bill Rowe as the Main Mixer and also alongside him most of the time on the mixing desk was Stanley Kubrick himself. He (Roy Smith) can not remember precisely, but believes the company was either Hawk Films or Anvil Films. Roy does remember many a late night, overtime and them feasting on steak sandwiches, not your everyday meal in 1971 Britain, and thoroughly enjoying the work, hard though it was, Roy purchased the copy of the Long Player from the Studio Shop that was in Elstree Studios and during a break in one of the evening sessions asked Stanley Kubrick to sign the LP for him. He was a bit taken aback at his agreement, as he feels that Stanley Kubrick was not one for signing many autographs. Such was his shock, that he did not have a decent pen to hand and all he could lay his hands on in the moment was the rather attractive green with which the signature was duly signed. Roy does believe there are still a couple of members of the Dubbing Crew who worked alongside him on the Clockwork Orange project. He is also happy to talk to any purchaser if they wish to know more or have any questions"]
