Former Bristol Zoo Gardens - an original Victorian 19th century bench, from the former Bristol Zoo Gardens, Clifton. Cast iron ends and central support, slatted seat and backrest. Maker's marks impressed to one end for J. Gill of Clifton. Measures approx 92cm x 244cm x 42cm. Benches were a feature at the former Bristol Zoo Gardens from when they first opened in July 1836 until the year they closed, 2022. The first benches made were of wooden construction, and these cast iron ones followed a little later c1850 to c1880, and remained there until the site’s closure. This style of bench can begin to be seen in photographs and postcards as early as 1900, and most famously graced the Zoo’s Top Terrace, overlooking the West and Main Lawns, although throughout their lifetime they were placed at various locations within The Zoo. Most of the benches carry local maker's marks - either J. Gill of Clifton or Harrison of Marsh St, Bristol, or are unmarked. All of the benches are original to the zoo, and are generally believed to be in their original condition, although it can be presumed some have had slats / arms / legs replaced over the years. For a certain period (1920s to 1950s) the benches were painted in white, rather than their present green colour. Evidence of this white paint does remain to a few of the benches where paint layers have been exposed. They exist in used condition, and should be expected to show signs of wear and tear from their 140+ years stationed in Bristol Zoo, please view the pictures carefully. Buyers are also reminded that the benches have remained exposed to the elements since time of photography (July 2024) so some additional wear may be present. A special opportunity to acquire an important and iconic piece of Bristol Zoo history. Proceeds from this auction will help care for the animals at Bristol Zoo Project or support critical conservation work around the world.

Former Bristol Zoo Gardens - an original Victorian 19th century bench, from the former Bristol Zoo Gardens, Clifton. Cast iron ends and central support, slatted seat and backrest. Maker's marks impressed to one end. Measures approx 89cm x 244cm x 42cm. Benches were a feature at the former Bristol Zoo Gardens from when they first opened in July 1836 until the year they closed, 2022. The first benches made were of wooden construction, and these cast iron ones followed a little later c1850 to c1880, and remained there until the site’s closure. This style of bench can begin to be seen in photographs and postcards as early as 1900, and most famously graced the Zoo’s Top Terrace, overlooking the West and Main Lawns, although throughout their lifetime they were placed at various locations within The Zoo. Most of the benches carry local maker's marks - either J. Gill of Clifton or Harrison of Marsh St, Bristol, or are unmarked. All of the benches are original to the zoo, and are generally believed to be in their original condition, although it can be presumed some have had slats / arms / legs replaced over the years. For a certain period (1920s to 1950s) the benches were painted in white, rather than their present green colour. Evidence of this white paint does remain to a few of the benches where paint layers have been exposed. They exist in used condition, and should be expected to show signs of wear and tear from their 140+ years stationed in Bristol Zoo, please view the pictures carefully. Buyers are also reminded that the benches have remained exposed to the elements since time of photography (July 2024) so some additional wear may be present. A special opportunity to acquire an important and iconic piece of Bristol Zoo history. Proceeds from this auction will help care for the animals at Bristol Zoo Project or support critical conservation work around the world.

Former Bristol Zoo Gardens - an original Victorian 19th century bench, from the former Bristol Zoo Gardens, Clifton. Cast iron ends and central support, slatted seat and backrest. Maker's marks impressed to one end for J. Gill of Clifton. Measures approx 88cm x 244cm x 41cm. Benches were a feature at the former Bristol Zoo Gardens from when they first opened in July 1836 until the year they closed, 2022. The first benches made were of wooden construction, and these cast iron ones followed a little later c1850 to c1880, and remained there until the site’s closure. This style of bench can begin to be seen in photographs and postcards as early as 1900, and most famously graced the Zoo’s Top Terrace, overlooking the West and Main Lawns, although throughout their lifetime they were placed at various locations within The Zoo. Most of the benches carry local maker's marks - either J. Gill of Clifton or Harrison of Marsh St, Bristol, or are unmarked. All of the benches are original to the zoo, and are generally believed to be in their original condition, although it can be presumed some have had slats / arms / legs replaced over the years. For a certain period (1920s to 1950s) the benches were painted in white, rather than their present green colour. Evidence of this white paint does remain to a few of the benches where paint layers have been exposed. They exist in used condition, and should be expected to show signs of wear and tear from their 140+ years stationed in Bristol Zoo, please view the pictures carefully. Buyers are also reminded that the benches have remained exposed to the elements since time of photography (July 2024) so some additional wear may be present. A special opportunity to acquire an important and iconic piece of Bristol Zoo history. Proceeds from this auction will help care for the animals at Bristol Zoo Project or support critical conservation work around the world.

Registration - TSY 101Chassis No. - 206E/274704M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 73,000In 1961 ‘TSY 101’ would have represented the pinnacle of Ford UK’s so called “Three Graces” range – the Consul, the Zephyr and the Zodiac. Looking every bit the part, with its transatlantic style two tone paintwork and ample chrome, ‘TSY 101’ is the rarer Lowline model with a sleeker, 44mm lower roofline. Thought to have been diligently restored in around 2011 and with another paint refresh in 2020, ‘TSY 101’ presents today with a sensible 72,226 miles recorded. The last MOT in July 2010 was performed at 70,525 miles, underscoring the Zodiac’s light, post-restoration use. Acquired at auction by the current owner in October 2021, it comes complete with a photographic record of its earlier restoration, some previous MOT copies, a few invoices and the original jack and toolkit. The appealing ‘TSY101’ registration plate remains with the Zodiac as it is non-transferable.With the arrival of the MII Zodiac in 1956, Ford moved away from the slightly dowdy MKI’s styling and injected some much admired glamour into the mix. ‘TSY101’ showcases that charmingly from the Zodiac-specific, elaborate front grill right back to the vestigial US-style fins at the rear. The matinee idol looks were matched with an impressive technical specification, too. A 2,553cc inline six cylinder engine is fitted and mated to a three speed manual gearbox once giving this range topper a 90mph troubling top speed. Impressive for 1961. The spacious cabin also offers an overtly transatlantic ambiance. The white and black colourway mirrors ‘TSY101’s’ exterior livery and there is plenty of chrome and polished metal in evidence. The squatter instrument binnacle of the sought after Lowline is noted and the column mounted gearchange and full width front bench seat is very evocative of the Zodiac’s American cousins of the day.In terms of condition, it all seems very impressive considering this is now a 63 year old motorcar. The paint and bodywork has obviously received diligent attention in recent times with ‘TSY 101’ being returned to its factory gate two-tone specification from solid black. The ample brightwork looks……bright and the upholstery fresh and clean in spite of its white finish. With less than 100 Zephyrs and Zodiacs of all iterations known to remain on UK roads, the time is surely right to add one to your collection.In summary:A rarer Lowline model of the range topping ZodiacBenefitting from a full restoration in 2011 and a further refresh in 2020Offering a sensible, seeming original mileage for its age
