1958 Earls Court Motor Show Launch car and bought new by Jazz legend Chris Barber1958 Earls Court Motor Show launch car. Registered initially as CB 23Bought new by Jazz Legend Chris Barber. Extensively raced in top level International Sports Car racing 1958 – 1963Class Winner: 1963 Tourist Trophy, GoodwoodRecently emerged from a top quality, very exacting restoration as an historic racing car for Channel 4's ‘For the Love of Cars’Stored for many years prior to its restoration commencing in early 2016Restoration carried out by renowned engineer and Wheeler Dealers presenter, Ant AnsteadLotus Elite 1009 represents a unique proposition for buyers wanting to race in top-level historic motor sport or add to a stable of historically interesting cars. Its history and provenance make this Elite one of the most famous in the world and mean it would be welcome at any prestigious historic race meeting or show, worldwide. Not only is it the first Elite produced as a production vehicle for sale rather than a pre-production prototype as the previous eight were, but it was originally purchased by one of Colin Chapman's favoured customers and friends, jazz legend Chris Barber, a man whose music was influential in the British Blues and Jazz scene of the 1950s and 1960s and whose band was behind the UK's first Rock'n'Roll record, 'Rock Island Line' by Lonnie Donegan. Barber entered and raced the car extensively for 5 seasons in top-level international sports car racing in the UK and Europe including the Nürburgring, Spa and Zandvoort.During this period it was driven regularly by Sir John Whitmore, the 'Racing Baronet', who famously broke the class lap record at Spa using CB23 while on his way to class victory in the Grand Prix GT Support Race of 1962. Other notable drivers who drove the car include Mike Beckwith and Bob Olthoff as well as Chris Barber himself. The Lotus Elite was debuted at the 1957 Earls Court Motor Show and caused an absolute sensation, the star of the show. The fact it was also made entirely from the new wonder material, glass fibre, simply added to the Elite's aura of other-worldliness. Chapman, however, was obsessed by efficiency and in a car, whether road or race, that meant light weight and low drag. The Elite had a CD figure of 0.29, remarkable now let alone in 1958, and utilised the maximum amount of energy then possible from every ounce of petrol it consumed; amazingly it was capable of returning around 40mpg even when touring at 80 plus mph! Chapman saw the fibreglass monocoque as a way of achieving this without the need for expensive tooling, which he simply could not afford. Though still a young man, he was just 29 when the Elite was launched, Chapman was not in awe of more established companies or designers; indeed he relished looking at the basic problem of making a car go as fast as possible over a given distance with completely fresh eyes. He was also very ambitious and saw that if he wanted to grow Lotus into a serious force in racing he had to follow Enzo Ferrari's model of making road cars which paid for the racing. His first attempt, the Six, was a successful but basic car and by 1956 he had ideas about producing a small upmarket GT car with serious performance using the Coventry Climax engine he was so familiar with from racing. He gathered together his small army of young volunteers, who often worked for beer and sandwiches just to be part of a world-beating racing car company, for this exciting new project. Frank Costin looked at the aerodynamics of Peter Kirwan-Taylor's overall shape, while friends from the Ford Motor Company design office, John Frayling, Peter Cambridge and Ron Hickman, did the detail work on the interior and other aspects. The aim, to produce a coupe that could be used on the road for touring and also race at Le Mans was very ambitious, but the young team more than achieved it. Chapman's own suspension design, softly sprung yet firmly damped, all independent by wishbones at the front and Chapman struts at the rear, gave the Elite fantastically predictable handling while the brakes, all disc but fitted inboard at the rear to reduce unsprung weight, proved more than able to cope with stopping this lightweight gem. The successful Lotus 12 racer also contributed its wheelbase and track. Lotus' groundbreaking fibreglass monocoque was initially developed away from their own workforce for secrecy by Peter Frayling and 21-year-old assistant Albert Adams. The first Elite bodyshell was 'cast' on Saturday, August 31st 1957 and that day Chapman took the decision to debut the car at the Earls Court Show in October 1957. Remarkably the team made that deadline but then had to develop the car into something which worked reliably and could be produced efficiently.This car is the first customer car, chassis #1009 and would be finished in October 1958, just in time to be displayed at the Motor Show alongside the last prototype, 1008. It was then fine tuned before being officially sold to Chris Barber, and entered in the Lotus' Cars ledger on 31/12/1958. Barber, though, had already raced the car as the owner on the 26th of December, Boxing Day, Brands Hatch Sports Car race, so it seems likely the ledger entry was made on the day the factory returned to work following the Christmas break. By the time Elite production ceased in September 1963, 1030 examples had been made and Lotus had developed from a company unheard of outside of UK club racing to one of the most famous racing teams in the world. They were about to be crowned F1 World Champions for the first time with Jim Clark, and were seen as established world players in road car manufacture with a mature market presence in the USA and elsewhere. The Elite played a big part in this remarkable feat of automotive industrial growth. It was Lotus' first 'grown-up', credible road car and laid down the foundations of the Lotus business that still exists today. Lotus Elite 1009 has undergone a very high quality nut and bolt restoration by renowned restorer and engineer, Ant Anstead, as a racing car, and is not currently road registered. The restoration was filmed for the 'For the Love of Cars' series which has been so successful worldwide, something which can only add to this car's remarkable provenance. It also has the latest current FIA HTP papers (Period E- 1947-1961 which are valid until 31-12-2026) and is thus eligible for all International events. Offered in pristine condition from our private vendor who has owned the car since Silverstone Auctions first sold it in 2016, but has never used it ~ this Lotus Elite Type 14 Mk1 presents a unique opportunity for collectors and racers alike.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

Property from a Central European Collection A RARE GERMAN (BAVARIAN) STATE GLAIVE (KUSE) FOR THE GUARD OF MAXIMILIAN, ELECTOR OF BAVARIA, CIRCA 1623-51 with knife-like blade double-edged over its upper third, decorated on each face with a large panel covering the greater part of its surface, filled with an elaborate trophy-of-arms, the crowned electoral arms enclosed by the Order of the Golden Fleece, and a further trophy-of-arms beneath, with minute traces of gilding (worn, areas of pitting), tapering moulded socket, a pair of long straps, on is faceted wooden haft with an additional pair of straps 71.0 cm; 28 in head Maximilian I (1573-1651, elector from 1623) received a strict Jesuit education followed by travel in Bohemia and Italy after which he succeeded his father as duke of Bavaria in 1597. The duchy had been administered poorly and was debt ridden but it was soon restored to solvency by the energetic young duke. Under his rule the legal system was revised, an effective army was built and control was tightened over his church and its lands. He established himself as the undisputed leader of the German Catholics during the thirty years war, perhaps in part through his obsessive style of government: |I see to my affairs myself and check my accounts myself| he reportedly told a relative. His determination to achieve religious and political goals played a crucial role in prolonging the war in Germany for thirty years, dying three years after it ended in 1648.
