Austin Dobson wrote introductions to the 1897 Macmillan editions of Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey & Persuasion which were both illustrated by Hugh Thomson. They knew each other well and Thomson also illustrated several of Dobson's books. The letter from John Thomson, Hugh's son, to Alban Dobson, dated 25th December 1952, concerns the joint disposal of the correspondence between their fathers and the hand-coloured frontispiece in this copy. He writes, "...this must have been done specially as the published edition is in black & white. My father did, I know, do this sort of thing occasionally for friends either of his own volition or at their request. I have three different editions of 'Pride & Prejudice' and none of them is tinted". Dobson's own note states, "From the enclosed letter from John Thomson, it is evident that this is a unique copy, in which Hugh Thomson has specially coloured the frontispiece. Alban Dobson 5.1.53".
AUSTIN A55MG Dealers Service Van 1955 - This quaint Right Hand Drive 1955 Austin van had a very pleasant past. Working as a road side assistant vehicle and parts lugger for a French based MG dealership until retired from active service in the late 60ês. At this point rather than sell it on, it became a permanent fixture in the dealerês window until eventually sold to a local chap, when the dealership closed its doors.Since being repatriated to the UK the vendor has had any and all corrosion professionally removed and repaired. The clutch has been replaced along with a new clutch master cylinder. The brakes had the same treatment with shoes etc being replaced along with the master cylinder as well. Now it runs, drives, stops well and comes with a full UK MOT.Inside, years of sitting in the window had taken the toll on the seats so these have been freshly re-upholstered in a period material and colour, while carpets, that it never had, have been custom fitted. More for aesthetics than anything else although this also helps to quiet things down when driving.The body is very solid and original, the areas that have received attention will need to be resprayed but it would be a shame to paint the whole van as you would lose its originality and the signage that has lasted all these years.This is a very rare van, with a nice history. One that once UK registered you can use as is or just tidy the paintwork and it will make an interesting show vehicle. It would also make an excellentPromotional Vehicle or Classic Car Race Team service barge. With the UK MOT done and its French Papers in hand the registration process is a simple one, one that we are happy to carry out for you for a small fee or advise on for free.
