Registration - WHA 655H Chassis No. - 3102212925 M.O.T. - Exempt Odometer - 25,892 Resplendent in red-over-cream two-tone bodywork, this of Volkswagen’s 1600 Fastback is an eye-catching example of an already unusual car. A genuine right-hand drive model, rather than the more commonly found imported versions, ‘WHA 655H’ is a cherished example of the sleekly-styled Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback. This version has a manual four-speed gearbox, and uses the company’s air-cooled 1.6-litre engine, mounted – as all its other vehicles were at the time (the Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Samba Bus) – in the rear. Fitted with period features such as the windscreen visor and roof-rack, as well as period-complementing items including the Firestone Car Cooler and upholstered speakers, extensive care and attention has been paid to ‘WHA 655H’. The interior matches the exterior colour scheme, with red leather and quilted white panelled upholstery, a fully carpeted interior, the addition of an audio system – with the control unit hidden inside the glovebox – and white rear window blind. Offered with incredibly low mileage for a family car that’s more than half a century old, this example has 25,892 miles on the clock, and is described as in good or excellent condition across the board. The Volkswagen Type 3 was a larger family-focused model aimed at expanding the German manufacturer’s range, following on from the Type 1 (Beetle), Type 2 (Bus) and Type 14 (Karmann Ghia coupe) – all featuring an air-cooled rear-engine, rear-wheel drive lay-out. Launched in 1961 as the Type 3 1500, Volkswagen initially offered customers a two-door Notchback saloon and two-door Variant estate. In 1965, a two-door Fastback version arrived, at the same time as the ‘1600’ 1.6-litre boxer engine. In the UK, the Fastback replaced the Notchback, as it was intended to elsewhere, but buyers on the continent maintained the Notchback’s popularity, so all three body shapes were offered elsewhere, until the Type 3 ceased production in 1973 when it was replaced by the first-generation Passat. · Beautifully cared for and maintained example of Volkswagen’s Type 3 1600 Fastback. · Low mileage model, with an indicated 25,892 miles. · Period colour scheme inside and out, with many supporting accessories.

Original cloth decorated in blind. Gilttitle to spine. Slight wear at the top and bottom of the spine, but anexcellent copy of this rare title. A former ownership name to front freeendpaper 'A.P. Stevenson' in pencil, and underneath George West haswritten a neat note in ink identifying Stevenson as a naturalist and a'most excellent bookbinder of Dundee. I bought this book from him.'West was a lecturer in Botany at the University of Dundee from c.1906 to 1926. West has also tipped into the title page a pen and inksketch which he has signed of the area where Anderson found thefossils. On p. 37 in response to the Reverend author's praise of 'wiseProvidence' West has tipped in a poem of his own satiricallysuggesting 'Providence' is not so wise as all that. West held somestrong anti-clerical views.The first and only edition of this important monograph on thefossilized fish specimens discovered by the Church of Scotlandminister, John Anderson of Newburgh at Dura Den, a wooded gorgenear the village of Cupar in North Eastern Fife.Hand stamp of George West to the pastedown.(1)The following lots of books represent the library of George West.West's biographical details are hard to pin down, his date of birthunknown, (probably around the 1880's) and his death sometime after1945. He is known to have worked as an assistant and then lecturer inBotany at the University of Dundee from 1906. At that time theuniversity was a constituent college of St Andrews University. Westseems to have remained there until around 1926. In his publication'Practical Principles of Plain Photo Micrography' (1916) he describeshimself as a lecturer in Botany. Most of the books in the sale bear thehandstamp, 'George West' to the front pastedowns. Many volumes bearextracts from booksellers' catalogues with prices of the titles,suggesting that West liked to keep up with the current values of hislibrary.The books represent a working library and many are alsoannotated in pencil in his hand, cross-referencing other works andadding his comments. To the front of the first volume of Walker'sDiptera (see lot no.) he has inserted his handwritten poem, 'To theFuture Owners of this book'.Geordie has now turned up his toesAnd gone aloft to seek reposeFrom various varmints nips and stings,Especially those base mankind brings...........He trusts the child who gets this bookWill on the various notes just lookAnd feel that every pencil strokeHelps on the game dear Walker wrote...Although a botanist by profession, his main interest, judging byhis library appears to have been entomology and amongst the booksare some rare titles in that field many dating from the nineteenthcentury, a golden age for the natural sciences. Many of the giants inthe field of Entomology are represented in the books and there aregood sets of Curtis, Donovan and Stephens with many exquisite, hand-coloured illustrations. Geology was another of his interests, as well asmicroscopy.What little is known of George West is largely gleaned from apublication from Hereford Museum published in 2007. West haddonated a large collection of mineralogical specimens to the Museumin 1945. His connection with Hereford, however, appears to betenuous and the man remains something of an enigma.

The Natural History of British Insects, by E[dward]Donovan. 16volumes in eight. Pub. for the author and F.C. and J. Rivington 1813(but 1792. See note below). Separate title pages for each volume. Halftitle is present in the first volume. Scattered, occasional foxing /offsetting to a few text pages. The 576 plates (complete as issued)remain in good, clean condition, with only occasional toning or spotsof foxing. The set is bound in polished calf with gilt ruling anddecorations in blind to the margins and with only a few, insignificant,small blemishes to the boards. Spines in six compartments withmorocco labels and uniform, repeated, gilt insect motif. Althoughshowing evidence of rubbing, the spines present well. Rubbed toexterior joints with very slight breaks between spine and boards to firstand last volumes but all bindings remain strong and secure. Marbledendpapers. A small, unobtrusive label bearing the number of plates toeach volume has been added, I presume by the owner, George West tothe foot of the spines. A very handsome set of this important work bythe Irish-born Donovan.Two old extracts from booksellers' catalogues listing similar sets havebeen tipped in at the front of volume one. Also at the front of the firstvolume is a helpful, handwritten note by West (signed with his initials)stating that 'The title page of Vol. 1 is dated 1813. This volume,however, was issued in 1792, and the title page was evidently printedin 1813 when the 16 volumes had been finished. Different copies of thecomplete work bear various dates on the title page.....The "NewEdition" on the title of Vol 1 probably refers to complete sets sold afterthe issue of the work in parts as there was no second edition properlyso called.'His note is borne out by the dating of the subsequent volumes. Thetitle page to volume two is dated 1793, to volume three, 1794 &c.A prospectus for 'The Naturalist's Repository or Monthly Miscellanyof Exotic Natural History by E. Donovan' is tipped onto the frontendpaper. Each volume is indexed with a general index to all 16volumes to the rear of the final volume.Throughout, West has added neat pencil annotations to text pagescross-referencing the text with other authorities. Occasionally, theannotations stray into his own experiences such as on p. 22 of volume5 where writes about his experiences in SW Scotland, the victim of thestinging fly, known as 'clegs' which left him 'almost blind for 3...days'.(8)The following lots of books represent the library of George West.West's biographical details are hard to pin down, his date of birthunknown, (probably around the 1880's) and his death sometime after1945.

He is known to have worked as an assistant and then lecturer inBotany at the University of Dundee from 1906. At that time theuniversity was a constituent college of St Andrews University.

Many of the giants inthe field of Entomology are represented in the books and there aregood sets of Curtis, Donovan and Stephens with many exquisite, hand-coloured illustrations. Geology was another of his interests, as well asmicroscopy.What little is known of George West is largely gleaned from apublication from Hereford Museum published in 2007. West haddonated a large collection of mineralogical specimens to the Museumin 1945. His connection with Hereford, however, appears to betenuous and the man remains something of an enigma.
