The Lord Mayor of London, Sir John Cowan, received complaints from several parts of London describing a demonic creature with eyes like balls of fire and hands like icy claws, and able to bound from roof-top to roof-top with ease. The first claimed sighting of Spring-heeled Jack was in London in 1837, and the last in Liverpool in 1904. The Duke of Wellington, although aged nearly 70 went out armed on horseback to hunt and kill the monster. The Army in 1870 set traps to catch him after scared sentries reported being terrified by a man who sprang onto the roof of their sentry box. For a while, suspicion rested on the eccentric young Marquis of Waterford, who was considered ‘wild’ by Victorian society.

* JAMES WATT RGI (SCOTTISH 1931 - 2022), MELTING SNOW, BRISBANE GLEN, LARGS oil on canvas, signed, titled and dated 1988 versoframedimage size 56cm x 76cm, overall size 68cm x 88cm Note: James Watt was born in Port Glasgow in 1931 to Alexander Watt and his wife Isabella (nee Hooper). His entire family, including his grandfather, and everybody he knew, were in shipbuilding. He was always passionate about boats. He believed he was very lucky. "I was in the right place at the right time. I caught the tail-end of the Clydeside shipbuilding boom in the 1950s. Shipyards had full order-books and the river teemed with craft of every sort. So I always had a subject”. His paintings are in a formidable array of collections – including those of HM The Queen and Prince Philip, The Princess Royal, The Arts Council, The Hunterian, Glasgow Museums, Paisley Museum & Art Gallery, IBM, Britoil, the Danish Embassy, Yarrow Shipbuilders, McKean Museum and Art Gallery, Clyde Shipping Co, the Royal Bank of Scotland and also the town council in the Faroes. Watt went to Glasgow School of Art for four years where he was taught by Ted Odling, Douglas Percy Bliss, and David Donaldson. In 1958 he was one of 13 founders of the Glasgow Group, an artists' co-operative which continues to this day. Irritated by the conformist, unadventurous policies of local exhibiting societies like the Royal Scottish Academy and the RGI, and at the dearth of commercial outlets in the city, they got together with other GSA students and graduates to exhibit at Glasgow’s then-beautiful McLellan Galleries. The Glasgow Group was the Transmission Gallery of its day. After two years National Service in the army, from 1955 to 1957 he became an art teacher, and a much-beloved one at that. He was noted for his kindness and good counsel, and one former student says of him: "I had pretty much zero talent but he sparked a lifelong love and interest in art." Another remembered “His was the fastest-moving Volvo down the school drive. He was some man." Later Watt became a member of the RGI and was elected a member of Society of Scottish Artists in 1965. In 1997 he received The Royal Bank of Scotland Award at the Glasgow Institute. He dedicated much of his life to recording the River Clyde and its industries, and his vast body of work forms a vital archive of the river. Greenock's McLean Museum and Art Gallery exhibition, The Lost Clyde: The Paintings of James Watt, was mounted to celebrate his 90th birthday. James was also the father of Alison Watt OBE FRSE RSA, one of Britain's best-known painters.Condition is good overall, with no visible or known issues.

Registration No: WSY 713 Chassis No: 111800475 MOT: T.B.AIn current ownership the last 28 yearsOffered with a great patina, and in what appears to be remarkably original conditionRetains its original engine and displaying just 70,975 miles on the odometerRover needed a stop-gap solution to the slow post-war sales of its pre-war designs. Chief Engineer Maurice Wilks' 'Land Rover' seemed to be the answer. His design was as much a tractor as a car. The centre-steer concept, built in the summer of 1947, had the steering wheel in the middle, mainly because Maurice had the farming community in mind when he was designing it. The car was put to work ploughing, and Maurice designed front and rear power take-offs to run belt-driven machinery. Rover quickly approved it for production, albeit without the central driving position, which proved impractical and costly to engineer. The steel box-section chassis with its aluminium body was actually designed to get around the post-war scarcity of steel and make use of the plentiful, war-surplus Birmabright aluminium. But it was also lightweight and rust-resistant, and the pioneering use of aluminium remains a feature of Land Rover vehicles to this day. A single paint colour was offered: light green.The 1595cc, 50Bhp four-cylinder Rover engine might seem under-powered today, but its 80lb-ft of torque was impressive. There was permanent four-wheel drive, leaf-sprung suspension and not much else for your £450 when it was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948. Any kind of extra equipment came at an additional cost, but the orders started to come in. The very first Land Rover registered was one of the Amsterdam Motor Show cars on 21st May 1948, and full production began at Solihull shortly after. Rover soon saw that the vehicle’s appeal went beyond expectations. In 1949 the British Army placed its first order. It wanted 1,878, so many, that the decision was made to paint all Land Rovers in the Army’s NATO Green and they saw their first action the following year, in the Korean War. The Red Cross ordered its first Land Rovers in 1954, and its relationship with the marque endures to this day.In 1954, Solihull made its 100,000th Land Rover and by the time the Series I was replaced in 1958, nearly 200,000 had been produced. With 70 per cent exported, the principles that Maurice Wilks first sketched in the sand at Red Wharf Bay in Anglesey had been put into practice across the world.First registered 11/12/1957 to a Military or government role, this Land Rover was sold into the civilian market in 1963 and registered under ‘AJB 621A’. Little is known of its early life, but in January 1984, the car was purchased by a Janet Martyn Ball, residing in Oxford. Ball would own the car for 2 years until 1986, when it would be passed to Benjamin Rutland Lincoln of Bristol. ‘AJB 621A’ was purchased by the late current owner on 10th December 1996. Frustrated by the fact the registration didn’t tie with the manufacture year of the car, the registration was replaced with ‘WSY 713’. The Land Rover was used sparingly on a farm, with the occasional shooting trip being most of its use. It was always dry stored and maintained as appropriate. In recent years, it benefited from a replacement Radford Bulkhead, but other than the one coat of paint it has at some point received, it appears remarkably original - retaining its original engine and major mechanical components. The odometer displays just 70,975 miles, which is warranted for at least the last thirty years and could well be correct.After the sad passing of its owner, but now displaying a lovely patina, giving it some great character, ‘WSY 713’ is offered for sale accompanied with a history file containing previous registration documents, MOT certificates dating back to the early nineties, the receipt of sale from its current ownership and much more. Recently serviced and to be offered with an MOT in preparation for sale, this wonderful Land Rover presents a great opportunity.

Registration No: PXS 775 Chassis No: 19896 MOT: ExemptOverhauled engine, gearbox, transfer box and axlesBoasts its original body tub, chassis, and combat wheelsUsed in current registered ownership for events and showsRestored in British coloursArguably more iconic than a Sherman Tank or P-51 Mustang, the Jeep is for many the definitive WW2 vehicle; a workhorse of the US and Allied forces during WW2 and kept in service all around the world for decades afterwards. Born out of the American Quartermaster Corps' 1940 invitation to submit a prototype go-anywhere four-wheel drive light reconnaissance vehicle which led to a three-way competition between Bantam, Willys-Overland, and Ford, the winning design's simple but effective chassis, ingenious transmission, rugged suspension, and flathead Go-Devil 60hp 2.2-litre `four' proved invaluable for hauling troops out of trouble. While, this self same combination ensures that the indomitable Jeep remains great fun to drive today. About 650,000 MB types were built between 1941 and 1945, by Willys and (in greater numbers) by Ford, and manufacture continued under licence in the '50s and '60s by Hotchkiss for the French army. Finding a Jeep still retaining all its original components is rare because, after WW2, many Jeeps were rebuilt on a ‘mix and match' basis, meaning it is common to find components from all three makers combined in one vehicle.Manufactured in 1942, chassis ‘19896’ is offered in fully restored condition finished as a British Jeep in wartime Mickey Mouse guise. According to wartime literature, usually all upper surfaces were painted black in this camouflage, though this wasn't always adhered to, with the paint often just slapped on. During the restoration, the engine, gearbox, transfer box, and axles were all overhauled, with ‘PXS 775’ has been kept as original as possible, and is still boasting its original chassis, body tub, and combat rims. Shod with new tyres all round, the GPW pleasingly has many genuine ‘F’ (Ford) stamped parts. Used in current registered ownership for events and shows. The vendor rates the Jeep as ‘excellent’ in regard to engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment, and as having ‘very good’ bodywork, paintwork, and interior trim. A very usable Jeep that, we feel, is sensibly guided. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: HSV 588 Chassis No: 4210 MOT: ExemptCurrent registered ownership since 1999 with just one previous keeper recordedVery original exampleAn older restoration that still presents wellIconic British Army military vehicleAfter the success of America’s Jeep in the Second World War, the British Army was eager to have a multi-purpose light truck of its own. In spite of competition from the Nuffield Organisation, Austin was awarded the contract to build 15,000 vehicles from a former aircraft factory at Cofton Hackett, on the outskirts of the Longbridge works, which was specially adapted for the purpose. Built from 1951 to 1957, Champs were quite unlike anything Austin had attempted previously. A four-wheel-drive quarter-ton truck, it utilised the straight-four, 2838cc Rolls-Royce B40 engine. The Rolls-Royce B-series engines were developed specially for use in British Army vehicles and, in their various guises, also powered the Daimler Ferret, Humber Pig and six-wheeled Alvis’. Although a civilian version of the Champ was offered, the vast majority were built for military use. Champ was actually the civilian name; officially the military version was the less catchy ‘Truck, ¼ Ton, 4x4, CT, Austin MkI’. Of the military vehicles, almost all were used as either basic cargo trucks or wireless vehicles.Manufactured in 1953, chassis ‘4210’ is an older restoration finished in Deep Bronze Green paintwork with Green interior upholstery. Residing in current registered ownership for the past twenty-five years (since 1999), the Champ is showing just one former keeper on HPI. Barn-stored for the past few years, the vendor informs that ‘HSV 588 is now running and driving well, and further notes that the brakes have been recently overhauled. A very original example, ‘4210’ is rated in regards to bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment as ‘very good’ by the vendor, while the vendor rates the interior trim as ‘excellent’. Supplied with a history file, this is a nicely restored example of the iconic British Army Champ. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
