Mrs Norton was the Lady of Southwick House and Estate at the time, Purbrook, Hampshire. Having owned the estate for hundreds of years, the Norton family would have had strong naval ties.

1937 Talbot BI 105 Airline Saloon- Stalled restoration with much work completed in the 1980s- Engine overhaul by Arthur Archer c.30 years ago, rechroming done etc.- Believed to include most parts to finishUnveiled at the October 1935 London Motor Show, the BI 105 was arguably the last 105 variant to remain true to designer Georges Roesch's engineering principles. Notably rigid and low-slung, the newcomer's chassis was reinforced by the use of a massive tubular cruciform brace and additional perforated channel sections to the inner face of its main side members. Equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-spring suspension, Luvax adjustable dampers and large-diameter drum brakes, the BI 105 was powered by a free-revving 3-litre straight-six engine allied to Wilson pre-selector transmission. A rival to models from Alvis, Bentley and Lagonda, just 97 BI 105s are thought to have been made.This fascinating project has been in the current ownership for the past eight years following its acquisition from Birmingham coachbuilder Jack Castle. The vendor has now reluctantly decided that family commitments will prevent him from lavishing the time and attention required to restore the car. We are informed that much work was carried out in the 1980s including an engine overhaul by Arthur Archer (never run since and free) and an overhaul of the pre-selector gearbox. The suspension and braking system were also attended to, whilst much of the brightwork has been rechromed. The vendor believes almost all parts needed accompany the car together with a Swansea V5C, two old buff logbooks and a history file containing two original handbooks and information from Archers. One of just a tiny handful of survivors, DLP 937 represents a rare opportunity for the discerning Talbot enthusiast.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1976 Porsche 911 S IMSA GTU Race Car- Converted c.20 years ago for the IMSA GT race series by Jay Lloyds of Leny's Automega- A highly developed example and highly competitive in the right hands- Recently re- painted and apparently turns the scales at under 900kgsThe IMSA GT race series was a very popular championship organised by America's International Motor Sports Association between 1971 and 1998, and initially aimed at showroom-based GT and Touring Cars - regular winners in the early years were Porsche 911s and Chevrolet Corvettes, and the races were normally run in the USA with occasional forays across the border to Canada. Grids of 30 or more cars were not uncommon.The Porsche offered started life as an unsuspecting 1976 911S before serving as a race car for some 20 years. The conversion was carried out by Jay Lloyds of Leny's Automega, a man who worked on 911s for over 25 years after cutting his racing teeth with the factory team in Europe and Asia, and then running his own Porsche specialist race shops in Hong Kong and Canada. The car's full specification is far too expansive to detail here, but includes the following: Engine: 964 3.6-litre twin spark unit with RSR lightened flywheel, tuning chip, and Foose exhaustTransmisison: 915 magnesium case, ZF limited slip, 8.31:1 final drive, RSR sintered carbon-kevlar puck type clutch disc. The internals were recently overhauled with new lightweight gears, synchromesh, dogs and slidersBrakes: 1979 Porsche Turbo with floating rotors and Brembo calipers. SCRS adjustable dual master cylindersSuspension: TRG modifications front and rearBody: disassembled, stripped and acid-dipped; seam welded where required. Fibreglass RSR front bumper, front wings, bonnet and door skins, rear quarter panels, IROC tail with DWR racing extension, rear bumper. Custom ATL 100-litre endurance racing fuel cell. Polycarbonate windowsInterior: carbonfibre dash, aluminium floorboards, custom pedals, seat brace, fibreglass Recaro-type seat shellWheels: 15x8 and 16x9 Fuchs rimsFinished in Green and trimmed in Black, this serious 911 racer apparently turns the scales at under 900kgs. A unique opportunity.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

A mid-18th century tilt-top mahogany tripod Occasional Table with bird-cage mechanism; the one-piece, Chippendale style, pie-crust edged top above a gun barrel stem and tripod base with elongated pad feet, 76cm diameter CONDITION REPORT: The top although original condition is quite badly water marked and stained as shown in the images, the pie crust edge seems in good original overall order with no pieces noted to be missing, it looks like the original bird cage mechanism and the original spring loaded metal catch underneath, the rails look good too with no real evidence of replacements, gun barrel stem again is quite matt and exhibits quite a lot of water marks and scratches and some dents etc., commensurate with age, this has come privately and is in relatively good order. It is true to say one of the legs has been broken at some stage and there is an old repair down at the bottom, there is a rusty old triform brace underneath which is usual.
