Supplied to the British Army, de-commissioned in 1963 and registered in Jersey in 1966. Restored at a cost of over £35,000.Registered to the War Office as '38 BP 45' and entered service on the 22/10/1954 when dispatched to Feltham BarracksOfficially known as 'Truck 1/4 Ton 4x4 Rover Mk3 (86 Inch)' and supplied under the very first War Office Contract 6/Veh/16223 (Dated 26/05/1954)It was decommissioned on 29th November 1963 and sold as Lot 428 at the Ruddington Disposal Depot Auction on the 12/05/1964Shipped to the Channel Islands and registered in Jersey on 27th April 1967 later appearing on the Series One Owners Club register in 1985Bought by our vendor in 2018 as a barn find, he commissioned an extensive ground up restoration at a cost of some £35,000Presented in superb order we note the unusual fitment of a 'Bikini Hood' that is perfectly suited for fair weather useIt is extremely rare to offer a Land Rover with such detailed early history and will be offered to sale with a NOVAAs an engineering marvel, the Land Rover can still outstrip its modern counterparts, and the Series I rightly belongs in the Motoring Hall of Fame. Hugely successful globally, improvements were made throughout its long lifespan. In 1950, the lights were moved from a position behind the grille to protrude through the mesh and in 1952 a larger 2.0-litre petrol engine replaced the original 1.6-litre. The wheelbase was extended to 86 inches in 1955 to give the vehicle more stability and greater load capacity. The stronger, more reliable 2.0-litre petrol engine was standard until 1957. With the US Army’s wartime Willys Jeep as Maurice Wilks’ inspiration for the Land Rover it is perhaps easy to assume that the military application of the Land Rover was a given from day one. However, it was the earlier Nuffield-designed prototype known as 'FV1800', presented in 1945, that pipped the Land Rover to the post. Government regulations and repeated modifications extended development over many years, and the vehicle did not enter production until the early 1950s. By that time, Nuffield had merged with Austin and the resulting vehicle became known as the Austin Champ. The development contract committed the British Armed Forces to a large order of the Champ. In parallel to this order, the British Army purchased a trial batch of Series I Land Rovers in 1949. The earliest Land Rovers were found to complement the Austin Champ very well. The Land Rover was cheaper, lighter, consumed less fuel; and was ideal for behind-the-lines transport duties. However, the Champ was better suited as a front-line combat vehicle. Over time the Land Rover was modified, and became better suited to the British Army's needs. The initial contract order for the Champ was never expanded and production ceased after only five years. The Land Rover, in various forms, was to enjoy a seven-decade long association with the Armed Forces of dozens of countries across the globe. Former British Army Land Rovers have long been identified as either the Series IIA Lightweight, introduced in 1968, or the matte-painted Defenders of later years. Very few military Series I Land Rovers have survived, nor identified as such, and our vendor and Silverstone Auctions are thankful to military vehicle historian John Mastrangelo for the following information. This Land Rover 86 inch was registered to the War Office as "38 BP 45" and entered service on the 22nd October 1954 when dispatched to Feltham Barracks, Middlesex. Officially known as a "Truck 1/4 Ton 4x4 Rover Mk3 (86 Inch)" and supplied under the very first War Office Contract 6/Veh/16223 (Dated 26th May 1954). It was decommissioned on 29th November 1963 and sold as Lot 428 at Ruddington Disposal Depot Auction on the 12th May 1964. The Land Rover was shipped to Jersey and registered there on the on 27th April 1967 later popped on to the Series One Owners Club Register in 1985 by a previous owner. Bought by our vendor in 2018 as a "barn find", he commissioned an extensive ground-up restoration at a cost of some £38,789.

Tiger, 1805. 32 S. 8°. Ldr. d. Zt. mit goldgepr. RTitel u. RVergoldung (beschabt, vorderes Gelenk angeplatzt). Sehr seltene und einzigartige Ausgabe des astronomischen Werbelehrbuchs von Jean Loysel, das für seine Globen, Orrerien und Planetarien wirbt. Der von dem privaten Geographie- und Astronomielehrer H. Raymond geschriebene Text wurde für die Schulen und privaten Lehranstalten gedruckt. Der Text ist mit 15 Tafeln illustriert, die die ptolemäischen und kopernikanischen Loysel-Sphären und andere astronomische Bewegungen der bekannten Planeten, Kometen und Satelliten der verschiedenen Planeten zeigen. Die Globen von Loysel sind in öffentlichen und privaten Sammlungen extrem selten und von diesem Buch sind laut Worldcat nur drei Exemplare in den weltweiten öffentlichen Sammlungen nachweisbar: zwei Exemplare in der BnF in Paris und ein Exemplar an der University of Texas in Austin. - Nach dem handschriftlichen Vermerk auf dem Vorsatz wurde dieses Exemplar 1807 von zwei Lehrerinnen namens "Faucheur" et "Roullet" an "M.elle Grenier Ainée", 13 Jahre alt, als Preis für die Astronomiekurse gegeben. - 2 Tafeln am Rand leicht eingerissen. Hinteres Vorsatblatt mit kleinem Einriss. Stellenweise minimal braunfleckig, sonst sauberes und gutes Exemplar. Astronomy. - With 15 (6 folding) plates. - Very rare and unique edition of the Jean Loysel's advertisement astronomical textbook promoting his globes, orreries and planetariums. The text was printed for the schools and private teaching institutions. The text, by the private professor of geograpy and astronomy H. Raymond, is illustrated with 15 plates showing Ptolemaic and Copernician Loysel's spheres and other astronomical movements of the knonw planets, comets and satelites of the different planets. The Loysel's globes are extremely rare in public and private collections and we know only three copies of this book in the worldwide public collections (according to worldcat). - According to the inscription on the endpaper the copy was given as a price of astronomy's courses in 1807 by the two female teachers named "Faucheur" et "Roullet" to "M.elle Grenier Ainée". - Calf with gil spine title and gilt tooling to the spine (scuffed, front joint partly cracked). - Two plates and back endpaper slightly torn.

Ca. 500-330 BC. Graeco/Achaemenid. A bronze libation bowl known as 'phiale' decorated with a central rosette. Phialai were wide shallow cups used for pouring libations to the gods and for drinking on more ordinary occasions as attested by several literary sources (see, for instance, Pindar N. 9.51f). Phialai were used across a wide geographical area - from Greece to Tibet, throughout the ancient Near East and Central Asia - and made from many materials — glass, ceramic, and many types of metal. An attractive, lustrous patina has formed across the vessel. Excellent condition. For more information on Achaemenid phialai, see Wilkinson, C. K. (1949) The Art of the Ancient Near East.
