The Warwickshire Collection - This car has formed part of an extensive collection of British and European Classics and your inspection is encouraged.In recent years, this car has formed part of a large collection and has received little or no use, so an element of recommissioning is to be expected. Some of these cars do start, run and drive. Each car has a condition report, however they are all sold as seenIn 1951, the Belgian Army was searching for a new lightweight 4 x 4, so Minerva approached Rover to produce their Series I under licenseUnder the arrangement, Rover provided full technical assistance and Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits consisting of a chassis, engine, and transmission. Minerva would then build a steel body that met the requirements of the Belgian Army. Minerva lacked the ability to produce the curved wings, so Minerva vehicles have a distinctive sloping wing shape.Nice early car finished in Olive Drab/Matte Green with a well-worn interiorUnderstood to have been imported around 1995/6. Currently showing 25,037km on the clockThe vehicle appears generally sound.

Arthur Dooley (1929-1994)WarriorInitialled and dated (19)73, bronze, 66cm highArthur Dooley was a self-taught artist from Liverpool. He left school at 14 and worked on Mersey tugboats and apprenticed at Cammell Laird’s shipyard. When looking back in 1994, Dooley said to the author Peter Davies ‘The shipyard was really my art school’.In 1945 he enlisted into the Irish Guards as bagpiper and rose to the rank of Sergeant. However, he left without leave to join the Palestine Liberation Organisation, where he served as a Colonel. When he was captured, Dooley was sent to a military prison, and it was here that he started to experiment with sculpture, it was also during this period he became a devout Catholic and staunch communist.After Dooley left the army in 1953, he worked as a janitor and observed students at St. Martins School of Art in London. He developed his sculptural style from working with discarded material, particularly scrap metal, and was informed by his industrial experiences working at the docks. In 1961 Dooley exhibited his works at his first one man show at St. Martins. He then returned to Liverpool where he learned more about the metal casting process whilst working for Dunlop’s in Speke as a rubber moulder and created sculptures such as "Warrior".This patinated bronze sculpture depicts an elongated figure with a featureless face, wearing a cloak and helmet. The figure’s feet are planted in a strong stance on a textured rectangular base and brandishes a round shield with textured embellishment and a spear. This ‘Warrior´ is a recurring theme in Dooley’s oeuvre, with various versions created since 1966 with differing bases and heights, sometimes under the title ‘Centurion.’Dooley continued to exhibit around the UK, work on commissions such as the 1974 ‘Four Lads who Shook the World,’ Beatles Memorial in Liverpool, and campaigned on TV and in his home city for redevelopment, abolition of high-rise housing and better care for the unemployed. In the (19)90s, he founded a workshop for unemployed people and helped found the Liverpool Academy of Arts. Some surface dirt, in particular behind the shield and underneath the base. Surface wear to his back left shoulder to the cloak. Surface scratch to the lower section of his breastplate. Surface scratches to the front of his right leg and wear to his right hip.

On American Independence Day, 1944 he was delivering a Mustang Fighter from base workshops at Warton, Lancashire to Steeple Morden in Cambridgeshire when it appeared to catch fire.

A suggestion has also been made to a more contemporary artist of the same name.

Richardson, w.104, d.64, h.41cm.Lieutenant General Sir George Lloyd Reilly Richardson (1847–1931) was a British officer whose long and distinguished career spanned many of the Victorian Wars of Empire. He served across South East Asia in the British Indian Army, fought in the Anglo-Afghan wars and led the final assault on Peking (Beijing) during the Boxer Rebellion, Despite retiring in 1909, he was given command of the Ulster Volunteer Force in Ireland upon its formation in 1913.Born into a military family, Richardson joined the 38th (1st Staffordshire) Regiment of Foot as a second-lieutenant in 1866. From then on, his career was a roll-call of almost every significant colonial campaign, earning promotions and commissions along the way from early on. His first major action being the 1868 Hazara Expedition against tribesmen who attacked a police station at the North-West Frontier (now part of Pakistan), and his last posting being in Belfast where he fought Home Rule on the eve of the First World War. Despite his eventful and inherently dangerous life, Richardson died at home in Basingstoke at the advanced age of 83.Alongside the collection of items in this lot is a hand-written note describing an intriguing incident relayed by Richardson regarding a ‘Fakir’s Curse’ which befell his fellow officers in 1876. The story details how three officers of the 18th Bengal Cavalry tried to build a bungalow on consecrated ground by the banks of the Kabul river, and disregarded the pleas of an old Fakir. The holy man then issued a curse that the men would all die within a year. Within months, one officer was killed whilst out hawking when his horse fell into a ravine. The second died soon after during a game of polo. The third, a surgeon by the name of Dr Palmer, congratulated himself upon the last day of the year for surviving the curse while he was crossing a river with Major Webb (both known to General Richardson). Unfortunately, a squall arose, the boat capsized and the officers had to swim to shore. Despite being a strong swimmer, Dr Palmer was the only officer not to make it to dry land, and was never seen again. Later it was reported that the Kabul river had flooded and the contested bungalow swept away. This story has been reported elsewhere, and was even investigated by the Society for Psychical Research in London (established 1882).The Times obituary of 11th April 1931 stated that “as subaltern, field officer, commander, or general of division, Sir George Richardson showed himself and good, a fine sportsman, and a kind-hearted gentleman”. Amongst this lot are letters of condolences to Lady Richardson from General Maharaja Sir Ganga Singh of Bikaner alongside those from Clive Wigram (Private Secretary to King George V), both on his own behalf and expressing the regret of the King. His 40+ years of service resulted in him being awarded the KCB (Most Honourable Order of the Bath), CSI (Most Exalted Order of the Star of India) and CIE (Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire).

Queen Charlotte (1744-1818). George IV (1762-1830). Important collection of correspondence between Queen Charlotte and her son the Prince Regent [later George IV], much of it concerning the conduct of the Prince Regent's sisters during the illness of George III. The lengthiest letter by Queen Charlotte is on seven sides of foolscap with delicate silk ties, Frogmore, 2 December 1812, and is full of emotion, 'I am anxious to profit of the opportunity afforded me to be explicit upon so painful a subject as that of your sisters...Can there be, I appeal to your own feeling a more painful a more horrible situation than the one your Mother labours under?...I said nothing at the time, but felt most amazingly offended, and cannot suppress it any longer...[Mary] assured me she could not longer lead the life she had led...Elizabeth by defending her own conduct, struck in a most violent manner upon a book saying she would take an oath...I did say after that violence I should not be surprised at her giving me next a box of the ear. This gave her a hysterick fit...You have now my whole confession...The Dukes of York and Cambridge's impertinent behaviour to me on a former occasion I can never forget...I promise you I will keep peace...That you may never feel what I feel now is the sincerest wish of, My dearest Son, your ever affectionate Mother Charlotte'. A letter sent the following day, Windsor, 3 December 1812, gives thanks to the Prince Regent for his affectionate response. Four other letters by Queen Charlotte, 1812-13, relate to the death of the Duchess of Brunswick [Augusta] and an invitation for Princess Charlotte to visit Windsor. There are five letters from the Prince Regent to Queen Charlotte (11 Sep 1812; 3 Dec 1812; 6 Dec 1812; 11 Dec 1812; 22 May 1814), some addressing her concerns regarding the conduct of his sisters, 'I most affectionately request that you will tranquilize your mind until an opportunity occurs of full explanation on all that has passed. I am particularly grieved at the feelings of Dissatisfaction which you have manifested towards my sisters, whose General Conduct has been so truly proper...With regard to the conduct of my Ministers, As the interests of the Royal Family must be always connected in a Degree with those of the Publick, I think that there are Circumstances, under which, it is their Duty to submit their Advice, even upon Family Affairs.' One of the letters from the Prince Regent informs his mother of 'the Additional Fresh and Glorious News' that a French army has surrendered to the Russians, while also mentioning his own 'Attack of the Gout'. One of the Prince Regent's letters is a draft designed for Queen Charlotte to use herself when corresponding with the Princess of Wales. A total of 12 letters. Where there is some variation in style, it is presumed to be in a secretarial hand. Recorded in The Taylor Papers, by Lieut.-Gen. Sir Herbert Taylor, arranged by Ernest Taylor [Longmans, 1913]. Collection housed in archival wallets (12)Provenance: By descent of Lieutenant-General Sir Herbert Taylor GCB GCH (1775-1839), the first Private Secretary to the Sovereign of the United Kingdom, serving King George III, Queen Charlotte, King George IV, King William IV, Prince Fredrick, Duke of York and Albany, and additionally serving as aide-de-camp to Queen Victoria
Martha Gellhorn (1908-1998), American journalist and novelist, considered one of the 20th century's greatest war correspondents, third wife of Ernest Hemingway. An archive of autograph letters, photographs and ephemera sent by Martha Gellhorn to Andrew Tarnowski, a captain in the Carpathian Lancers, with whom she formed a friendship in Italy while working as a war correspondent. The archive comprises four typed letters signed; five signed & inscribed postcards; four signed & inscribed Christmas cards; two U.S. War Correspondent badges; an original photograph depicting Martha Gellhorn with Andrew Tarnowski in Italy during WW2, and a Polish edition of The Carpathian Lancers, 1966, in which the photograph is published.One of the letters is critical of the Vietnam war, 'We are behaving, in Vietnam, like the Nazi army in Poland; I don't believe for a minute in this "Communist aggression" talk (I always remember how the Nazis were going to save the world from Bolshevism too); it is the ugliest power politics, as mad as it is wicked, and we are killing the Vietnamese as if they were non-people, and an enormous number of poor conscripted young Americans are pointlessly dying too in this murder operation...My one hope is that we get a decent President in 1968, but we may not even have a choice beyond the idiocy of Johnson and Nixon. Unfortunately the whole world suffers for the wicked stupidities of our government.'One of letters gives a moving insight into the difficulties of continuing work as a war correspondent while raising a precious child, 'Journalism is hell now for me, because I can't bear being away from Sandy, who grows and changes every day; and I feel cheated to miss any of his baby years. He is too beautiful and funny and charming to be described, and now he talks too, some English, more Spanish, in a sweet soft voice like a dove...I do not believe any other thing in the world matters, except to love another human being and look after that one...Here in Mexico, no one talks or seems to think about War Number Three, which is a lovely state of affairs. I don't think about it either because I refuse to. I live as if life were going to last forever and go quietly and peacefully through my days, playing with the child, managing the house and doing my writing; and I read no newspapers and never listen to the radio, since I mean to be happy as long as I can and not torment myself in advance with the thought of chaos...This trip was not for pleasure, it was only to get enough money, as fast as possible, to feed us for another year...I came back here so tired I slept for a week.'In another letter, she states, 'Year after year, men go on killing each other, fighting wars which are certainly as pointless and insane as the Wars of the Roses....Dearest Andrew, no one really wins in this life but some of us win something. You've won that lovely warm thing of loving your child and surely of being loved by her. It's a big something. The older I get, the more sure I am that love alone matters.'Provenance: By descent of Andrew Tarnowski
