Many of the recipes herein reflect her Russian heritage; her mother (also Catherine) was the daughter of Semyon Romanovich, Count Vorontsov, Russian ambassador to the Court of St James. In 1845, on the death of her husband, she inherited the Dunmore estate on the Isle of Harris, where, in a time of great economic hardship '...She recognized the quality of the tweeds made by the women of Harris, and perceived the sales potential of the fabric... The Harris tweed industry owes its development and subsequent success substantially to her action and inspiration.' (Christine Lodge, ODNB). The second recipe book included in the lot, which contains several recipes copied from the first, bears the monogram of Gertrude Coke, third daughter of Thomas Coke, 2nd earl of Leicester, of Holkham, Norfolk, who married Catherine's son Charles Adolphus Murray, 7th earl of Dunmore in April 1866.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1962 Ariel 247cc Arrow Super Sports Registration no. HVS 179Frame no. T29141/GEngine no. T29141-GAriel's Arrow Super Sports, often referred to as the Golden Arrow, first hit the road in August 1961 and remained in production until May 1965. Mike O'Rourke had ridden a Herman Meier tuned Arrow to an amazing 7th place in the 1960 Lightweight TT against many much more exotic racing machines, maintaining an average speed of 80 mph, so it certainly had potential. Many have speculated that it could and should have been further developed, and not long afterwards the Japanese proved that there was a very real market for 250cc two stroke twins. This matching numbers example was bought by the lady vendor's late brother in law in November 1994. Virtually nothing is known of its history or mechanical state. It is accompanied by a V5C. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1964 Ariel 199cc Arrow '200' Registration no. JHR 466B Frame no. T34589/HEngine no. T34589-HAriel's smaller 200cc Arrow was introduced in order to qualify for lower road tax and cheaper insurance. It is by some distance the rarest of Leader/Arrow family: only 844 being built between April 1964 and August 1965. Compared to its more powerful sister, it had a smaller bore and lower gearing. This matching numbers example was first registered on 2nd August 1964 and bought by the lady vendor's late brother in law exactly thirty years later on 2nd August 1994. It bears a tax disc which expired at the end of April 2002, and displays a recorded mileage of 21,302, but virtually nothing is known of its history or mechanical state, other than the fact that the engine is seized. It is accompanied by a V5C. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1966 Aermacchi 246cc Ala VerdeRegistration no. FEY 384DFrame no. 222886Engine no. 22286A household name among motorcyclists thanks to its heroic achievement of producing the most highly developed and successful overhead-valve racing single ever, Aermacchi was a relative latecomer to motorcycle manufacture, building its first machine, the curious scooter-like Convertible, in the late 1940s. Aermacchi's first 'proper' motorcycle, the two-stroke Monsone, appeared in 1950, but it was not until 1956 that the firm's trademark horizontally mounted four-stroke single made its debut in the Chimera. Featuring enclosed bodywork reminiscent of Ariel's Arrow, but bags more stylish, the Chimera would remain in production until 1960. Before then it had been joined by a quartet of more conventionally styled machines in 175cc and 250cc capacities, the sporting version of the latter being the 80mph Ala Verde. One of the last built before Aermacchi was acquired by AMF (owners of Harley-Davidson) this five-speed Ala Verde has been upgraded with a Powerdynamo 12-volt ignition. Imported into the UK in 1992 as a restoration project but sat in a garage until November 2015 when it changed hands and was totally rebuilt. Registered in August 2017, the Ala Verde has covered fewer than 100 kilometres since completion and is presented in commensurately excellent condition, having last run in December 2019. The machine is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate; copy instruction manual and parts book; and a substantial file of restoration invoices.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1931 Matchless 592cc Silver HawkRegistration no. GP 437Frame no. B721Engine no. B667•Rare 1930s four-cylinder motorcycle•Formerly part of the Ivor Halbert Collection•An older restorationReviewing the v-four Silver Hawk at its launch in the autumn of 1930, Motor Cycling stated that this exciting overhead-camshaft model was 'designed primarily to give really high speed, and to give this speed with silence and the added safety of a spring frame'. The early 1930s was a period of severe economic depression, yet the 1931 Motorcycle Show at Olympia in London witnessed the launch of not one but two four-cylinder models aimed at the very top of the market. The ultimate fates of the two newcomers would turn out to be very different however; Ariel's offering – the Square Four – would enjoy a lengthy production life lasting into the 1950s, whereas the rival Matchless Silver Hawk would be gone within four years. Matchless had introduced another vee-engined model, the twin-cylinder Silver Arrow, the previous year, and the Silver Hawk's design shared many of the 'Arrow's features, most notably the narrow-included angle of the cylinders: 26 degrees. Displacing a total of 592cc, the cylinders were contained within one casting and topped by a single 'head, just like the Arrow's, but the Hawk was intended to be a luxury sports-tourer and so enjoyed the advantages conferred by overhead-camshaft valve gear. Drive to the upstairs cam was by shaft and bevel gears, and there was no denying that the v-four Silver Hawk's was one impressive looking motor. The frame and cycle parts followed Silver Arrow lines, incorporating cantilever rear suspension broadly similar to that adopted later by Vincent-HRD. Expensive to make and introduced at the wrong time, the Silver Arrow failed to sell despite its mouth-watering specification and was quietly dropped in 1935. First registered in May 1931, this Silver Hawk was purchased at a UK auction in 2009 having formed part of the Ivor Halbert Collection for many years. An older restoration, the machine is offered from an important UK private collection and will require re-commissioning before returning to the road (the last MoT expired in 1997). Noteworthy features include 12-volt electrics, electronic ignition, and a Smiths 80mph speedometer. The machine is offered with a V5C document and a small quantity of spares.
