1914 Le Zebre Model CRegistration no. BE 5893Chassis no. 3965Odometer Reading: TBAMoT Expiry: Exempt *Restored over 20 years*Featured in 'The Automobile' magazine*Comes with some spares As the light car introduced motoring to more people numerous manufacturers sprung up to meet that demand, including Le Zebre, which operated from 1911 to 1931. This Model C was restored over 20 years with the intention of being as accurate as possible, leading to the purchase of another model to provide a replacement engine, gearbox and wheels. The body – seasoned ash skinned in sheet steel with new wings, presents very well, as does the yellow and black paint, while the wheels/tyres are reported to be good. Seats were re-trimmed in leathercloth and are said to be excellent and the mahogany dashboard and linoleum floor in very good order. The engine – sourced from the donor car – currently has no oil or water so will require light re-commissioning and the running gear too is said to be good. An electric starter has been fitted. Rarely-seen in the UK, this well-presented Le Zebre Model C was restored over two decades and comes with the benefit of some spares.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 70/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

Ivan Akimovich Sushchenko (Russian, B. 1930) "First Electric Automobile" Signed lower left. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 4c Pan-American Invert: Electric Automobile stamp issued March 29, 2001. During the 1890s and early 1900s electric automobiles were among the most popular American cars, and were the first automotive vehicles that featured an enclosed body. Although they were slower than gasoline-powered cars (few traveled faster than 20 mph) electric cars were valued for their quiet, smooth-running motor, ease of operation and low maintenance costs. Because the battery needed to be recharged about every 50 miles, these cars were best-suited for driving short distances in towns or cities. The most common uses for electric cars in urban settings included taxi cabs and delivery vehicles. Many models were advertised as "fine carriages in all variety of styles" and built with luxurious interiors, including elegant, curved-glass windows and comfortable seats. In 1900, Review of Reviews made this statement about the electric car -- "It is the handsomest automobile, the easiest to drive, the pleasantest to ride in, but it is not adapted for general use -- say, in rural districts, nor for touring." The stamp on the First Day Cover features the center-inverted re-issue of the 4 Automobile stamp, designed from a photograph of one of the first electric cars ever produced. It was also the first appearance of an automobile on a U.S. postage stamp. Image Size: 9 x 13.75 in. Overall Size: 11.75 x 16.25 in. Unframed. (B16912)
Barry Wilkinson (British, B. 1923) "Jersey -- Rolls-Royce Phantom III" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor paiting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood Europa Cover for the Jersey 20.5P Europa stamp issued March 12, 1984. The Rolls-Royce Phantom III was a new model automobile in 1935 when it was first revealed. It was designed to give Rolls-Royce -- once again -- the right to claim that it was making the "best car in the world." In fact, except for the chassis, the separate band of coachbuilders, and the radiator design, the Phantom III was an entirely new car. No wonder that Mr. F.M. Wilcock, proprietor of the Jersey Motor Museum, ordered one of these magnificent vehicles restored for posterity. His museum -- located in lovely St. Peter's village -- was established in 1973 "to preserve historic motor vehicles of all types and photographic records relating to the island." The Phantom III chosen, was interestingly enough, the 1936 model specifically ordered by Wilcock's father. Since Rolls-Royce did not begin to produce complete cars until after the war, the firm of Freestone and Webb -- a superb coachbuilder of the day was hired to design the body. The car was given the code name "Spectre" in the Works at Derby. It had a 7668 cc all-aluminum overhead valve engine which sported dual ignition and hydraulic tappets. And, for the first time, General Motors Patents were used to fit a Rolls-Royce with independent front suspension. Wilcock later loaned the car to General Montgomery and General Carl Spaatz, as they planned the D-Day operations of 1944. But prudently, he refused to allow its use in France on D-Day itself.

Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Space Shuttle Transporting Mail" Signed lower left. Original First Day Cover Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the U.S. 45c Shuttle Airmail 20th UPU Congress Series stamp issued November 27, 1989. The United States Postal Service has used every major innovation in transportation. In the country's early days, letters could only be delivered at the speed of foot, horseback or carriage. Later, inventions like the steamboat, train, automobile and airplane obviously had a profound effect, speeding delivery throughout the country -- and the world. In the same way, it is quite possible that today's developments in space exploration will determine the way mail will be delivered in the future. The twenty-four successful space shuttle missions completed between April, 1981, and January, 1986, carried 126 astronauts and payload specialists into orbit, and launched twenty-eight satellites. Further progress on the space shuttle may make it an integral part of the mail delivery system of the future. Other developments in space exploration, like the successful establishment of industrial colonies on space stations, would necessitate a postal service for addresses far beyond the surface of the earth. A letter might be carried by hand to the post office, by mail jeep to the airport, by airplane to the launch site, and from there to its final destination via space shuttle. This possibility may seem farfetched today. But remember, in the eighteenth century the idea of sending a letter to a location halfway around the world and getting it there overnight seemed an incredible one, too. Now people do it every day.

Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Futuristic Automobile/Astronaut" Signed lower left. Original First Day Cover Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 45c Air-Cushion Vehicle 20th UPU Congress Series stamp issued November 27, 1989. Suppose that human space colonies someday dot the universe the way cities dot the earth today. Space travel would become so routine that an interstellar "highway" system would become necessary to handle the increased traffic -- people would have to be transported from space station to space station, from planet to planet. But that would not be the only kind of traffic generated by space colonies. "Interstellar trucklines" would be needed to supply the colonies with such necessities as food, medicine, clothing, entertainment and, of course, letters from home. Some people feel it quite likely the day will come when spaceage vehicles travel along extraterrestrial highways, delivering mail to colonists as close as the moon and as far away as the outer reaches of the universe. These enthusiasts anticipate the first space colony arising from the establishment of a lunar mining base in the first quarter of the twenty-first century. Man-made colonies that hang in space are projected for the year 2100, with technology capable of supporting populations of hundreds of thousands of people. These colonies would be serviced by hundreds of space mobiles each ferrying hundreds of passengers to and fro. This impressive transportation system would also carry goods, raw materials and even mail to extraterrestrial destinations. Perhaps even post offices among the stars would become a necessity!

1981 Lambretta Vijay Super GP150, 149cc. Registration number OEF 542W. Frame number 22022209530. Engine number 306604. Automobile Products of India (API) began assembling Innocenti-built Lambretta scooters in India after independence in the 1950's beginning with 48 cc, Ld model, Li 1st series. They eventually acquired a licence to build the Li150 Series 2 model, which was sold under the Lambretta name until about 1976 and later on changed the name to Lamby for legal reasons. API also built the trademark model [API-175] three-wheeler which was based on Innocenti's Lambretta. In 1972, Scooters India Ltd. (SIL) a state-run enterprise based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, bought the entire Lambretta manufacturing and trademark rights. Former Innocenti employees were used to set up an Indian factory as all the manuals and machinery instructions were in Italian. The first scooter built was the Vijay Delux/DL, which was badged the Lambretta GP150 in export markets. This was later enhanced to become the Vijay Super. Further improvements were made in the final years of production by incorporating a contemporary Japanese CDI unit and an advanced front suspension. SIL also distributed complete knock downs that were assembled in different parts of India and sold as the Allwyn Pusphak, Falcon, and Kesri. These were of a lower quality than the SIL-produced models and sometimes incorporated significant styling changes. SIL production seems to have peaked during the financial year 1980-81, with around 35,000 scooters being built. However, by 1987 this had dropped to around 4,500 units with production finally ceasing in 1997. OEF appears to have been imported in 2017 and bought by our vendor who had it fully restored by Patron Racing of Doncaster in the colour that a friend of his had back in the day. It was MOT'd at 2 miles, in 2018 it had risen to 7 miles and was again the same when MOT'd in 2019, the same as it now is. Sold with the V5C, MOT history, dating certificate and various other paperwork. Due to the lack of use post restoration a running in period would be advisable when taken on the road. Offered for sale as our vendor is moving to a smaller property without the storage for his collection, Spicers can highly recommend this machine

*Trevor R Frost (b.1937) A concept design for a car Brown ink, signed 'T.R.Frost' and titled 'Austin Healey', on Oram and Robinson Ltd. board 77 x 51.5cm Trevor Fiore was born Trevor Frost in the UK in 1937 to an Italian mother. After his initial apprenticeship with Standard Triumph whilst taking art courses in Birmingham, he joined the Standard Design Studio in 1956. After working with them for six years, he left the UK to work with Raymond Loewy in Paris. In 1964 he joined Fissore, a small body styling studio in Milan where he changed his name to his mother's family name. Here he worked for a diverse range of mainly smaller manufacturers and is particularly well known for his TVR designs. But as seen from these images, he also produced studies for Jaguar Daimler and Austin Healey. In 1980 he joined Citroen where he worked on the Karim and Xenia project cars. In 1990 he left Citroen and, apart from a few small studies, has not worked in the automobile industry. *Artist's Resale Right may apply to this lot.
