A SET OF NINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY HALL CHAIRSCIRCA 1780Variously painted with crests, with saddle seats each 98cm high, 50cm wide, 49cm deep overall Provenance:Property of The Hon. Catherine Mary Wass, OBE (1942-2021) inherited from the 7th Viscount Gort in 1975 from Hamsterley Hall, Co. Durham In 1972, a pair of near-identical chairs was shown by Country Life in the Entrance Hall of the private apartments at Penshurst (M. Binney, 'Penshurst Place, Kent - IV: The Seat of Viscount de L'isle, VC, KG', Country Life, 4 May 1972, p. 1091, fig. 3). It is therefore possible that chairs from this set were taken to Penshurst upon the marriage of The Hon. Jacqueline Vereker to William Sidney, 1st Viscount De L'isle and Dudley.The plates contain crests relating to William Surtees Altham COOK (1813-1887) and his wife who he married in 1850, Henrietta Addles MOULTON-BARRETT (1809-1860). Major William Surtees Altham COOK was the second son of Col. John COOK (-1829) of the 28th Light Dragoons by Elizabeth SURTEES (1783-1862) daughter of Aubone SURTEES of Hauxley Hall, Northumberland by Mary ALTHAM.Henrietta Addles MOULTON-BARRETT was born at Hope End, Colwall Herefordshire the second daughter of Edward Emmanuel MOULTON later MOULTON-BARRETT (1785-1857) of Cinnamon Hill, Jamaica where he was a wealthy plantation owner, by Mary Graham CLARKE (1781-1828) daughter of John GRAHAM-CLARKE by Arabella Altham EBB. Most notably she was the sister of the writer Elizabeth Moulton Barrett BROWNING (1806-1861) who in 1846 had married the poet Robert BROWNING (1812-1889).For similar hall chairs by Gillows see S.E.

A drill brace and pipe cutter

The rare Sport 300 is a lightweight, high-performance, road-going derivative of the Esprit X180R and widely regarded as the best Esprit ever.For customers that missed out on the very limited production run of X180Rs, the Esprit Sport 300 was offered in 1993 and was essentially a road-going version of the American SCCA race cars. Styled by Julian Thompson, Lotus’ talented chief stylist, and originally shown as a concept at the Birmingham show in 1992, the Sport 300 was destined to be sold in a Limited Edition of just 50, however, in the end 64 cars were eventually built. At £64,995 the Sport 300 was a rare and very expensive commodity – a whole £18,000 more than an Esprit S4 but still £9,000 cheaper than a Ferrari 348tb.To simply stunning effect, Thompson added a new front air dam with integral brake cooling ducts, extended wheel arches and a new rear wing to the existing S4 bodywork. Underneath, however, this is not a modified S4 but was effectively a derivative of the successful American SCCA and IMSA Supercar Esprit X180R racers. Extensive use of composites in its construction shaved about 80kg from the S4’s 1,366kg kerb weight and torsional stiffness was improved through the use of an engine bay cross-brace, a bonded-in panel where the sunroof used to be and a modified front cross-member and backbone. The same double wishbone front and transverse link/trailing arm rear suspension was retained, but stiffer springs and dampers were fitted all round and the geometry was tweaked. In addition, the hub carriers were modified and an adjustable top-link on the rear suspension added. Easily the Sport 300’s most eye-catching feature is its massive OZ three-piece wheels which measure 8½ x 16-inch at the front and 10½ x 17-inch at the rear. Grip, therefore, is a Sport 300 forte and so is stopping ability with 327mm ventilated discs at the front and similarly specified 280mm discs at the rear. Four-piston AP Racing calipers do the grabbing and are supplemented by a Delco ABS anti-lock system.The Sport 300 was fitted with the same, canted 2,174cc twin-cam 16-valve engine as in the S4, however, with handling and grip that have never been equalled by any other Esprit models, it was obvious that a little more power would be welcome. The hybrid Garrett T3/T4 turbocharger was fed air through a more efficient charge-cooler and the engine sported larger inlet valves with polished ports which, when combined with recalibrated engine management, a little more boost and 98-octane unleaded fuel, resulted in 302bhp at 6,400rpm and 287lb.ft of torque at 4,400rpm, compared with the S4’s 264bhp at 6,500rpm and 261lb.ft at 3,900rpm. As well as taking the specific output to a heady 139bhp per litre, the power-to-weight ratio takes a hike from the S4’s 197bhp per tonne to 243bhp per tonne which was not too dissimilar to Porsches latest 3.6-litre 911 Turbo.With pin-sharp handling, race bred responses and a bit more power, it’s no wonder that over the years the Sport 300 has become the ‘Holy Grail’ amongst Esprit enthusiasts and with only 64 ever built, they are seldom to be found on the open market.This, UK-supplied, right-hand drive Sport 300 is one of those 64 cars built for the worldwide market and has covered just over 50,500 miles. It presents superbly in Camel Yellow (after the Camel cigarettes - sponsored Lotus F1 cars of the period) with a distinctively trimmed interior in Royal Blue and Dark Charcoal Alcantara.We understand that it was damaged in an accident around March 2001, however, this was not recorded as no insurance company was involved. The owner at the time decided to send it back to Lotus to be fully reinstated and a new chassis was fitted and a number of small jobs attended to whilst the car was being returned to its pristine best. He was obviously delighted with the result when it returned from the Hethel factory and subsequently kept the car for several more years. There are photographs showing this work when it was carried out and supporting documents in the history file. So, although it’s a 1994 car it effectively dates from 2001 and we welcome and encourage interested parties to come and see this sparkling Esprit for themselves.There’s a large amount of documentation and photos with the car, including paperwork covering the factory rebuild in 2001, all original handbooks and service books and the original keys. The three-piece, Oz Racing alloy wheels have been dismantled, refurbished and reassembled, and all are fitted with excellent tyres. The car comes with two original specification rear tyres, quite special in the 300's sizes along with a few other parts. The cherished registration number, L300 LTD (Lotus 300 Limited Edition), will remain with the car.With only 64 ever built and regarded by all concerned as “The best Esprit ever”, this isn’t an opportunity that’s likely to present itself any time soon.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ESPRIT SPORT 300Year: 1994Chassis Number: SCC082910RHA68036Registration Number: L300 LTDTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 50686 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Leather/AlcantaraClick here for more details and images

Very stylish in Silver Grey over Imola Red, this UK-supplied, right-hand drive, manual gearbox M3 has covered just over 29,152 miles from new.BMW’s third-generation M3, the E46, took the hearts of real sports car fans by storm when it was launched in 2000. With a lightweight construction and its high-revving, in-line 6-cylinder engine it embodied for many a return to the virtues of the legendary, first-generation cars, the E30. Priced on a par with the Porsche Boxster S, the E46 M3 was streets ahead in performance, challenging the much pricier 911 and Audi RS4. Stiffened, wider-tracked with big wheel arches and a massive front spoiler, it packed a 343bhp 3.2-litre ‘S54’ straight-six engine substantially re-engineered by the 'M' division. All cars were officially limited to 155 mph, although Autocar’s test model happily topped 160 mph.Offered here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive E46 M3 fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and finished in stylish Silver Grey Metallic with Imola Red Nappa leather. It was first registered on the 1st March 2004 and has been enjoyed by three owners since then who have covered just 29,152 miles between them. Since leaving the factory, the car has been thoughtfully enhanced with the addition of genuine ‘BMW Individual parts’ such as a BMW carbon air box, BMW Performance strut-brace, updated steering wheel, later BMW wheels, an updated BMW boot lid along with a tasteful addition of Alcantara to parts of the interior etc. Pleasingly, the original parts were retained and they are included with the car. These parts can be seen in the auction hall during the sale days and naturally the car’s history file with its service book detailing work carried out over the years will be available for inspection.Sadly, the owner of this lovely M3 passed away recently and the car is being offered by his family. It was clearly much loved by the late owner who owned it from 2009 all the way up until his recent sad passing. It’s very hard to find a manual gearbox E46 M3 with this sort of sensible mileage on the market today and this particular example appears excellent all round. Silverstone Auctions are storing the M3 for the late owner’s family prior to the sale and we encourage and welcome your earliest inspection.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: M3 E46Year: 2004Chassis Number: WBSBL92060JR09154Registration Number: LG04 GYRTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 60443201Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 29152 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Imola Red LeatherClick here for more details and images
