Engine Number : RL250-20967 Estimate : £800 - £1,200 In the Early 1970s, Honda and Yamaha both produced competitive trials machines to try and end the domination of the Spanish manufacturers, Ossa, Bultaco and Montesa. Suzuki's first competitive trials machine was actually developed and built in the UK by Graham Beamish in 1974. Beamish enlisted the help of local trials ace Brian Fowler to set about modifying these machines so that they would prove more acceptable to British trials riders. The Suzuki factory was delighted with the success of the Beamish operation and as a mark of their approval, gave Beamish Motors the world-wide manufacturing rights for Suzuki-powered trials machines, an unprecedented step for a Japanese manufacturer to make. For the 1976 season, Whitlock supplied a completely redesigned frame that was both lighter and stronger to form the basis of the Mk. II model all helping to mark the Beamish Suzuki as one of the most successful trials machines of its day. Recently tested by a semi-professional rider from the Perkins Trials Stunt Team, this Beamish special was found to run well and perform within acceptable parameters. It benefits from recently replaced off-road tyres and has, as you would expect, a sump guard. Priced to sell, this classic 1970s example presents in reasonable condition throughout.
Registration : EDU 296C Chassis Number : B947215IHROFE Odometer reading : 39,666 miles Estimate : £18,000 - £22,000 Inspired by the AC Cobra that was effectively the British AC Ace sports car powered by the large American Ford 4.2 litre V8; the Sunbeam Tiger first saw the light of day in 1964. Based upon the Rootes Group, Sunbeam Alpine, the Tiger with the Ford power plant slotted into the engine bay became what is surely a true motoring 'wolf in sheep's clothing'. Precise handling was retained by keeping the Alpine's rack and pinion steering with knock out performance due not only to the muscle V8 but also the lightweight Alpine shell. This unique Tiger has a very interesting past and when first registered on 10th February1965as EDU 296C to Humber Ltd, the supplying dealer, there were already plans afoot to have the car used initially as a press car as can be found in May 1965's edition of Sporting Motorist. When ownership was transferred to K.S Advertising of London in 1966, the car was featured in the 1965 movie 'Bunny Lake is Missing' starring Noel Coward. The car, which was initially blue, was heavily filmed and is indeed part of the final scene but given that a copy of the movie is in the history file we wouldn't want to give that ending away. The Tiger then, for some 15 years, had a more regular ownership until the late 1970s when the vendor at the time decided that he would restore and re-spray the vehicle with an important change from the original 4.2litre V8 to a larger 4.7litre, (289ci) V8 engine of which extensive details can be found in the history file. The current vendor came to learn about the car in 2006 and approached the then owner, at which time he was informed that the car had been Dyno tested at 330bhp and would be capable of 140mph- though was advised not to try! The current owner has since gathered much information on this important car and has used it sparingly only having covered less than 3,000 miles in the last 14 years. Accompanying the car is a fantastic history file with original buff log book, original bill of sale and spec sheet, original sales brochure, a copy of the Sporting Motorist from 1965 which featured EDU 296C and even a DVD copy of the movie this car starred in. Like in any Tiger, the V8 sound track is amazing and the torque on this specific car is definitely something to experience. Having had a recent MoT test which expires May 2016, a wealth of recent bills, electric ignition fitted alongside a Sebring exhausts and uprated fan, this car is truly unique and part of Sunbeam's motor history.

Keith Park signed typed letter to Wg Cdr Lord Willoughby de Broke MC AFC with historic content. Amazing typed letter dated 7th December 1940, marked Personal and Secret from RAF Uxbridge to Willoughby De Broke. It reads Dear Willoughby, I enclose a personal copy of my dispatch for the November operations. Paragraph 16, page 3. Summarises the outstanding results in air combat achieved by Squadrons working under the control of Headquarters, No11 Group. Destroyed 2399, Probable 1095, Damaged 1042, Grand Total 4536. Such magnificent results could only have been achieved by our squadrons having sound direction and full support for Group Staff. Every member of our Staff has contributed to these successes, and I wish to thank you for your personal share in our victories over the German Air Force. I shall be leaving fighter command shortly, and AOC No 12 Group has been nominated to take over command of No11 Group.

Flt Lt John Mungo-Park DFC Battle of Britain ace original leather flying boots. A little history behind the Mungo-Park boots. They were given to the vendor by an ex 609 Squadron Spitfire pilot, Sgt HF Wade (please see scan from 605 Squadron book). He was stationed at Biggin Hill which they shared with John Mungo-Park's Squadron, No 74 Sqn. After Mungo-Park was sadly killed in June 1941, Wade was given Mungo-Park's spare flying boots. They don't look like they have been used a great deal and are in superb condition and Mungo-Parks name is written in ink inside the leather tabs on both boots. I met (he was always known as Peter) Peter Wade in the 1980's as he lived locally to me in Solihull in the West Midlands and we became great friends. Just before Peter's passing he gave me the flying boots. John Mungo-Park (25 March 1918 27 June 1941) was a World War II Royal Air Force (RAF) pilot and ace squadron leader. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1940, and again posthumously in 1941. Both DFCs cited "courage". Mungo-Park joined the Royal Air Force on a short service commission in June 1937 and was made acting Pilot Officer on 9 August. He was confirmed as a Pilot Officer on 31 May 1938[8] and was posted to the Anti Aircraft Co-operation Unit of the Fleet Air Arm at Lee on Solent and then in August 1938 to HMS Argus flying Fairey Swordfish. The day after war was declared, 4 September 1939, Mungo-Park transferred to 74 Squadron flying Spitfires from RAF Hornchurch, commanded by Sailor Malan. He was promoted to Flying Officer 31 December 1939. On 24 May 1940, while 74 Sqn were providing cover for the British retreat from France and the Dunkirk evacuation, Mungo-Park was wounded and his Spitfire damaged during an engagement with a Henschel Hs 126 but he managed to recross the Channel and land at RAF Rochford. On 10 July the squadron was engaged a large formation of Dornier Do-17s and their escort of Bf 109s and Bf 110s. Mungo claimed one Dornier which he saw `turn lazily on its back and dive into the sea`. On 11 August he was involved in four major air battles. During the first of these Mungo scored one Bf 109 destroyed and one damaged. In the day’s third combat, over a convoy 'Booty' off Clacton, Mungo attacked two Bf 110s in quick succession and saw the first crash into the sea and the second go down pouring black smoke. He was awarded one 'destroyed' and 'one probable'. One further victory followed in the day’s fourth air battle over Hawkinge, when his section was vectored onto a formation of Ju87s and Bf 109s off Margate. He led the attack on the 109s and his five second burst into one of the fighters caused it to burst into flames and plunge into the sea. On 13 August 74 Squadron were vectored over the Thames Estuary onto an unescorted formation of Dornier 17s. Mungo claimed one destroyed amongst a squadron total of fourteen enemy aircraft claimed destroyed or probably destroyed. On 20 October he claimed the Bf 109E-7B Werk # 2059 "Brown 8" flown by Uffz. Franz Maierl (3.(J)/LG 2) who crashed at Chapel Farm, Lenham Heath, Kent. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross on 15 November 1940. The citation said: Acting Flight Lieutenant John Colin MUNGO-PARK (40008), No. 74 Squadron. In October, 1940, this officer was on patrol with his squadron at 30,000 feet when a formation of enemy aircraft were sighted. Flight Lieutenant Mungo-Park attacked a Messerschmitt 109 but had to break off the engagement as his windscreen became iced up. He cleaned this and again attacked the enemy aircraft and caused it to crash into the sea. He has personally destroyed eight hostile aircraft and has at all times displayed great courage and coolness in action. John Mungo-Park by Cuthbert Orde, December 1940. Now recognized as one of the cream of the Allied fighter pilots, he was one of the fraction of The Few selected by Fighter Command to have a portrait drawn by Cuthbert Orde, sitting for it in December 1940. On 14 November 1940 74 Squadron claimed a total of 13 Ju 87s in a mass dogfight over Dover, Mungo-Park personally claiming two. On 30 November he and Flt Lt H M Stephen of 74 Squadron jointly claimed a Bf 109 (of Uffz. Wagelin 5./JG 53) that was deemed the 600th victory claimed by Squadrons flying from RAF Biggin Hill. Exactly a year since his last promotion, on 31 December 1940, he was promoted to Flight Lieutenant. On 10 March 1941 Sailor Malan was promoted, and Mungo-Park became acting Squadron Leader. On 16 June 1941 while on a sweep ( "Circus 14") over the Channel he shot down two Messerschmitt Bf 109s, but in the fight his plane was damaged. He turned for home but his engine seized as he crossed the coast. Nonetheless, Mungo-Park managed to stay airborne, gliding his Spitfire back to RAF Hawkinge.[6] For this display of skill, as well as his continued leadership and growing tally of kills, he was told he was to receive a bar to his Distinguished Flying Cross. On the evening of 27 June 1941, flying Spitfire Vb X4668, Mungo-Park was part of an escort for a bombing raid over northern France coded 'Circus 25'. They were attacked by two formations of Bf 109s, led by Rolf Pingel of I./JG 26 (who had been spared by Bob Doe during the Battle of Britain[14][15]) and Wilhelm Balthasar of JG 2. He was shot down and killed when his plane crashed just north of Dunkirk, a couple of miles over the Belgian border. He is buried in Adinkerke Military Cemetery,[16] about 60 miles north of his father. In a twist of fate, Wilhelm Balthasar died in an air crash less than a week later and was buried in a Flanders cemetery alongside his father who had been killed in the First World War. Mungo-Park's second DFC was awarded posthumously on 11 July 1941 with the citation: Acting Squadron Leader John Colin MUNGO-PARK, D.F.C. (40008), No. 74 Squadron. This officer has performed excellent work in his many engagements against the enemy and has destroyed at least twelve of their aircraft. In June, 1941, he was attacked by six Messerschmitt 109's while over the French coast. He succeeded in shooting down two of these and, although his own aircraft was badly damaged, Squadron Leader Mungo-Park flew back to this country making a skilful forced landing. His courage and leadership have contributed materially to the successes achieved by his squadron. Mungo-Park had claimed 11 aircraft destroyed ( and 2shared), 5 'probables, and 4 damaged.
