New for 2015, this Special Edition, 'Time Attack' Viper offers 645bhp and 600ft/lbs of torque in a subtle shade of Brilliant Dozer.Desirable, limited-edition of a particularly special breed within the Viper lineage‘Time attack’ models turn things up to the very max by adding more performance to what is already a rather brisk carAmazing 8.4-litre V-10, 645bhp at 6,200rpm, 600lb.ft, 6-speed manual transmissionElectronic Fuel Injection, 4-wheel independent suspension, 4-wheel disc brakesHorizon-bending performance with 0 - 60 in 2.9 seconds and 206mphOnly 2,365 miles from new. Presented in vibrant factory finish Brilliant DozerRecent MOT, oil and filter service at Unity Oxford on April 2021. UK-registered as LJ64 KVZVery rare on UK roads. A one-of-a-kind American super car, serious T/A weapon and will provide endless thrillsAfter a 2-year hiatus beginning in 2010, Dodge would revolutionize the Viper name with the introduction of the 5th generation in 2012. The essence would remain true to the Vipers of old: A large displacement V10 powering the rear wheels housed in a swooping body with a long bonnet. However, all the other finer details were subject to great change. Dodge had the defined goal of turning their once notorious widow maker into a more driver friendly, docile performer. Simultaneously, the interior fitments had to be a comfortable and luxurious place to be. These goals would all be thoroughly achieved with the new car. Every performance metric was increased thanks to 840bhp from the 8.4-litre engine, 4-piston Brembo brakes delivering immense stopping power, massive Pirelli tires glueing the car to the road and an aluminium and carbon construction ensuring both stiffness and light weight. Most importantly, computer aided traction control systems made their first appearance ever on a Viper, greatly decreasing the likelihood of wheelspin. This was a fundamentally much more refined car and would be competitive with just about all of its contemporary rivals. The vehicle on offer, a TA 2.0 specification, is a particularly special breed within the Viper lineage. These 'Time Attack' models turn things up to the max by adding more performance to what is already a really quick car. The suspension stiffened all around thanks to retuned Bilstein shocks, increased spring rates, thicker roll bars, and a carbon fibre cross-brace under the bonnet. Lighter wheels and more powerful Brembo brakes round out the mechanical updates. Aerodynamically is where the most dramatic upgrades occurred. A more aggressive two-piece splitter is fitted up front and the rear received a larger carbon spoiler. The 2.0 TA seen here is a development of the 1.0 package and includes all the features listed plus a large rear wing and canards up front boosting downforce to 400lbs at 150mph. Delivered new to San Diego, California in 2015, finished in a retina-singeing shade of orange known as 'Brilliant Dozer', this left-hand drive, manual gearbox, V10 TA 2.0 Viper has had just two owners since leaving the factory. It was imported to the UK in 2018, registered as ‘LJ64 KVZ’ and has resided in his significant private collection ever since. The odometer indicates that it has only covered 2,365 miles from new and appears in excellent condition today.In April of this year it was sent to ‘Unity Oxford’ for an oil and filter service along with a fresh MOT ensuring its ready for its next owner to enjoy the serious performance on offer here. A very rare and desirable car, especially on UK roads, this is a one-of-a-kind American super car, serious T/A weapon and will provide endless thrills.SpecificationMake: DODGEModel: VIPER TA 2.0 6-SPEED COUPEYear: 2015Chassis Number: 1C3ADEAZ9FV510303Registration Number: LJ64 KVZTransmission: ManualEngine Number: P05045513CB Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2371 MilesMake: LHDClick here for more details and images

A fully restored, HY pick-up, now UK-registered and ready to be enjoyed or promote that business.The versatile H-Type or HY van, in various configurations, was produced by the French automaker Citroën between 1947 and 1981Very evocative of the French 'joie de vivre' and ideal for food trucks, mobile bars, brand advertisingAn original configuration pick-up style HY vanDiscovered in a very original state in the South of France, bodywork was exceptional for its age and was still accompanied by its original tools and wheel-braceImported to the UK where it was fully restored by 'Autostore' of Cambridge, including a complete respray, a rebuilt engine (with new liners), and new brakes; passed its MOT just requiring new tyres, which it is now fitted withAll the hard work has been done, just needs a new owner to utilise its marketing potential The Citroën H Van is a light truck (or delivery van) produced between 1947 and 1981 and was developed as a simple front-wheel drive van after World War II. A total of 473,289 were produced in 34 years in factories in both France and Belgium but were not sold in the UK in right-hand drive.The engine, gearbox and many smaller parts are well known from other Citroën models; the headlights and speedometer were identical to the 2CV for many years. The distinctive corrugated body work was inspired by the German Junkers aircraft of the 1930s with the ribs providing strength without adding weight and requiring only simple, low-cost press tools. The flat body panels were braced on the inside by 'top hat' box sections at right angles to the ribs. Rear hinged 'suicide' cab doors were used until the end of production in 1981.The HY pickup-configuration van presented here is from 1970 and was discovered in an original state in the South of France; the bodywork was exceptional for its age and, remarkably, it was still accompanied by its original tools and wheel-brace. Imported by a friend of our vendor (our vendor subsequently fell for this characterful van and bought it) with the intention of using it for his building firm, adding a bit of PR as it was driven around London. After restoration, which included a full respray and engine rebuild, with respected engineers at 'Autostore' of Cambridge, it was deemed just too good for a builder’s run-around.It has been thoroughly enjoyed and attracted much attention wherever it goes, but our vendor is finding he has less time to use it. Professionally stored with Autostore since restoration, this is a fantastic classic vehicle, as iconic in its own way as the heralded Citroën DS, and will turn as many heads! Offered at ‘No Reserve’, this HY van would add brand awareness or presence to any business or make a great base for a French-themed carnival float!

A Soviet astronaut's wrist altimeter, worn by cosmonaut Vyacheslav Dmitriyevich Zudov aboard Soyuz 23, 14 - 16 October 1976. Soviet re-entry vehicles were designed to land on either water or land. Despite the deployment of retro-rockets and parachutes, the stresses of hard landings were severe on the crew. Wrist altimeters were used to predict the time of impact allowing the cosmonauts to brace. This instrument is accompanied by a letter signed by Zudov describing its use thus "I used the altimeter in flight to determine the altitude of the spacecraft over the earth's surface during landing...At the altitude of fifty meters I gave the order, 'Be ready for landing!' at which point we gathered ourselves, bracing our muscles and waiting for the module to hit the ground. But in our case, we hit the water - this is what they call a soft landing". Originally sold as part of Sotheby's 1993 Russian Space History auction. Included with the lot is the original auction catalogue, lot label and related documents.

F., 'INNOCENT BIRDS', Published 1926, London, Chatto & Windus, and a collection of other Powys related literature (a lot)Provenance: The Derek Mills Library, A Collection of Thomas Hardy and Dorset BooksDerek C Mills (7th November 1930 – 13th October 2019). Born in Poole in 1930, Derek’s interest in Thomas Hardy was evident in his later schoolwork, and formed a significant part of his higher education at Westminster College. His final dissertation was based on Hardy’s life and works, and contributed to Derek attaining the qualifications that saw him follow his father into the teaching profession. In 1963 Derek was appointed as an English teacher at the newly built Secondary Modern School in Cranborne, Dorset. He and his family settled in Cranborne, and it remained his home for the rest of his life. In 1971 he took the position of librarian at Queen Elizabeth School in Wimborne, Dorset. Derek served as Publications Manager for The Hardy Society for a number of years in the 1980’s. He provided Hardy enthusiasts throughout the world with publications, information and advice. Upon retirement from teaching he entered local politics, serving as Parish Councillor, District Councillor, and as Chairman of East Dorset District Council in the 1990’s. Derek’s other passion was for the county of Dorset. He was a life member of The Society of Dorset Men, a member of the Dorset Natural History & Archaeological Society, and a founding member of the Cranborne History Society. He collected a large library of books on all aspects of Dorset. His family are delighted and grateful that Dukes Auctioneers are providing the opportunity for others to own and enjoy their father’s cherished books.
