A rare celluloid and clockwork novelty bell, in form of an owl head, circa 1900, probably German, with integral winder, no markings, 9cm wide; and a vintage cast nut cracker in form of a retriever dog, patent number: 273480, with articulated tail, 28cm long. (The owl rings a loud bell on carefully pressing down its beak. The celluloid cover is cracked and will need careful restoration, however the movement appears to be working).
The unicorn of Elise S1 models, a genuine motorsport 190, 1 of only 48 worldwide examples, just 15,000 miles and from a long, diligent ownership.Purity is a fragile and vulnerable thing, and in August 1996, the revolutionary new Lotus Elise seemed to ooze purity from every crevice, with nothing superfluous subtracting from the essence of this truly minimalist, focused sports car. Although 'beautiful to behold' it certainly was, the time-honoured relationship between form and function was clearly evident in the way it went and handled with its lightweight chassis-tub failing to daunt the enthusiasm of the mid-mounted, 1.8-litre K-series engine.Designer, Julian Thomson, and engineer, Richard Rackham, were keen to create a car with something of a motorcycle’s feel, and they undoubtedly succeeded. The Elise was a reaction to the corpulent world of leather, luxury and levers becoming increasingly evident in Lotus road cars, and was an attempt to recreate Colin Chapman’s early principles before he abandoned them in a move upmarket. It’s a testimony to the concept that, almost 27-years on from launch, the original S1 still delivers; as with other great drivers’ cars such as the E30 M3 and the original Elan, all things feel in-balance – power, grip, handling, and mass making for a uniquely satisfying experience.The car presented here is perhaps the ultimate Elise Series 1 – known as the Sport 190, they were hand-built by Lotus Special Vehicle Operations, and were intended for competition use. This car bears the correct motorsport chassis number, denoting/verifying its special status. There were just 48 Sport 190 examples produced worldwide, with most destined for the US and Japan. A very small number of the UK-market cars were converted for road-use by a select-few UK-dealers, including HR Owen and, as with this car, Bell & Colvill. There were only seven examples ever registered in the UK (the paperwork accompanying this car features a list of the other six cars), and of these, it is known that one example was converted to wear an Exige body, one was exported, one had a supercharger fitted, making this (essentially standard) car an extremely rare thing indeed. With a dry weight of around 670kg and 190bhp on tap from its hand-built 1.8-litre K-Series VHPD (Very High-Performance Derivative) inline-four, this is a very fast and exhilarating car.As well as this special engine, all Sport 190s were fitted with an upgraded close-ratio gearbox, numerous chassis improvements, AP Racing front callipers with cross-drilled ventilated discs, spring and damper upgrades, a fire extinguisher and battery cut-off switch, a removable steering wheel, racing bucket seats, a roll-cage, a lightweight polycarbonate rear screen, and a lightweight filler cap – all helping to reduce the dry weight of the car from 755kg to 670kg.This car has been in the same Lotus-enthusiast ownership since 1998, and during this near 25-year ownership period it was initially raced (as was only proper for its abilities). However, after a few seasons of racing, it was retired to road duties, and at this point its engine was refreshed with a very high standard Minister rebuild, upping the already ample power to 215bhp. Later, an Emerald ECU was added to improve driveability. The car also benefited from having its suspension refreshed a few years ago too. Other changes include Nitron 46 Race Pro dampers and a B&C exhaust backbox, whilst all original items have been retained (a set of barely-used KONI Sport dampers in their box, the original backbox and the MEMS ECU). It is accompanied by a huge history file with old invoices, MOTs and has its Certificate of Newness and original SVA paperwork.The Sport 190, as with all motorsport-edition cars, was highly customisable - this car has all of the safety systems (electrical cut-offs/fire suppression), motorsport seats/harness set, T45 hoop with petty bar, and magnesium wheels (all fully road legal).In short, everything is 'on tap’ here for the Lotus enthusiast. This is an extremely rare car with interesting provenance and is remarkably versatile, being comfortable on both road and track with some serious performance available. We don’t know when an opportunity to buy a Lotus like this will come around again – interestingly, this car turns 25-years old in November, so US-buyers take note – be the envy of any track-day.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ELISE S1 SPORT 190Year: 1998Chassis Number: SCCGA1115WHE34015Registration Number: S774 VDPTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 18K4FJ31124111 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 15000 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images
Total professional nut and bolt, chassis up restoration to the very highest of standards.Although instantly recognisable as a T-Series Midget thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rear-mounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque. Although based on the existing Y-Type chassis, it was the first MG sports car to feature independent double-wishbone front suspension, and rack and pinion steering and the new model also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, a scuttle reinforcement hoop and twin leading-shoe front brakes.With a track of 50", it was around five inches wider than its predecessor, the TC, which always a little ‘cosy’. Powered by the proven 1,250cc XPAG engine allied to a 4-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on 15" steel 'easy-clean' wheels as standard, the TD also sported a mirror-image dashboard (thus facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers. In July 1951 the 1,250cc XPAG engine received a new block, sump, bell-housing and flywheel in order to accommodate a larger clutch. The engine number prefix was changed to TD2, and MG TDs fitted with this engine have subsequently become known as TD2 models. A great success story, the vast majority of the 29,665 cars produced were sold overseas, mainly to the States.The simply delectable TD2 on offer here was one of those US-bound cars, and was imported from there by its present owner around ten-years ago, with a total rebuild in mind. The little MG was basically sound but a little tired, and was ripe for restoration, however other projects got in the way and it was a further six years before the restoration commenced. However all’s well that ends well as the TD has recently been completed after a total, professional nut and bolt, chassis-up restoration to the very highest of standards, and presents as possibly one of the very best on the road today.Finished in the rare factory colour of Autumn Red, the standard of finish is exceptional, even down to the door shuts and nooks and crannies. The interior is also a delight in beige leather with beige rexine on the dashboard, white-faced Jaeger instruments, Bakelite switches and a four-spoke Bluemels sprung wheel. The only minor difference from standard being the body-coloured grille slats, which should match the interior trim colour, but in reality appear as if designed that way. Nothing remains untouched, with engine, gearbox and final drive being rebuilt, a full rewire and total re-chrome alongside a new hood, side screens and a new tonneau cover that will require fitting.The attention to detail is textbook and even the underside is of show-quality. Whilst the MG remains left-hand drive, all mounts and fixing points remain in place to allow for easy conversion to right-hand drive should the next custodian wish to follow that path. With only minor shake-down runs undertaken so far, a period of running-in is highly recommended to extract the best from this stunning TD.Not to be confused with the average, this particular TD will be equally at home out on the open road or in the Concours arena.

MANCHESTER CITY V MANCHESTER UNITED CRICKET 1968 Scorecard for cricket match at Lancashire CCC, Manchester City v Manchester United, 21/7/68, Football League Champions v European Cup holders. Played in aid of the Ken Higgs Benefit Fund and quite possibly the only known example of crowd trouble at a cricket match as City and United fans clashed. The scorecard has a fold but no writing as Bell, Lee and Summerbee etc took on Charlton, Best and Kidd. City won scoring 168 runs to United's total of 79 and the crowd was 15,000 which contributed handsomely to the benefit fund. Unfortunately the crowd trouble ensured that the cricket game was not repeated in future years. Good

Bell (Vanessa).- Recent Paintings by Vanessa Bell with a Foreword by Virginia Woolf, first edition, one of 500 copies, 8pp., original wrappers, lightly toned, Favil Press, 1930.⁂ With Virginia Woolf's foreword, a charming essay about her sister's paintings: "One defies a novelist to keep his life through twenty seven volumes of fiction safe from our scrutiny. But Mrs. Bell says nothing. Mrs. Bell is as silent as the grave. Her pictures do not betray her. Their reticence is inviolable. That is why they intrigue and draw us on; that is why, if it be true that they yield their full meaning only to those who can tunnel their way behind the canvas into masses and passages and relations and values of which we know nothing - if it be true that she is a painter's painter - still her pictures claim us and make us stop. They give us an emotion. They offer a puzzle."
