Lot 256

A CULPEPER-TYPE MICROSCOPE, LONDON, CIRCA 1820unsigned, constructed in lacquered brass with rack and pinion focussing, five nose pieces, circular stage with accessories including stage bulls-eye, fish plate, Lieberkuhn, funnel stop, brass box with slide glasses, forceps and small quantity of bone specimen slides with some content, contained in a pyramidal box with acorn finial, -- 18in. (46cm.) highDr. Mill notes:This is very typical of a type of microscope widely sold between about 1770 and 1830. Culpepper invented his three legged microscope in the 1720s. Made of wood, leather and card it provided greater stability than older forms but at the cost of accessibility. Once brass tubing became available it was rapidly employed to make these microscopes; they were widely sold bearing a variety of signatures, or as in this case none. These various stands were so similar that it is believed that there were a series of factories in London supplying the components for opticians to assemble.It has a wooden base fitted with an accessory drawer and fits into a mahogany case of typical pyramid shape. The small bun feet and wooden knob are unusual. There are a set of 5 button lenses and a single fixed eyepiece. There is a round stage with a plug-in Bonnanni stage. accessories appear complete with a stage bullseye, stage forceps/cork, Lieberkuhn, fish plate, funnel stop, brass box, compressorium, talc box, forceps and bone sliders.ref: Turner "Great Age of the Microscope"(1988) p36-46; "Billings Collection" (1974) p182  CONDITION REPORT The glue joins for the tray stand have dried out so the sides and back are now detached. Otherwise overall good condition.

A 'MOST IMPROVED' MICROSCOPE BY GEORGE ADAMS JUNIOR, LONDON, CIRCA 1795constructed in lacquered brass and signed on the foot Adams London, 6in tube with six button objectives, sprung stage with Lieberkuhn, plano-convex mirror, contained in fitted wooden box with some accessories and sliding drawer containing approximately 40 annotated slides covered in blue paper -- assembled height 18in. (46cm.); box 13½in. (34cm.) wideDr. Mill notes:The family firm of Adams was one of the most illustrious makers of instruments in the 18th century. George Adams Snr 1709-1772 was the celebrated supplier of scientific instruments to George III and on his death he was succeeded by George Adams Jnr (1750-1810) The firm made an enormous range of instruments including fine microscopes. These included a culpepper type and two types of Adams' own devising- the Improved and the Most improved of which this is an example. On George's death at 45 a struggle developed between his mother Ann, supported by his brother Dudley, and George Jnr’s wife Hannah and the business was split. After a short period Hannah abandoned her part of the business selling much of it to J & S Jones. Dudley continued under the Adams name. W & S Jones continued to develop and make instruments of this type with such publicity that they are commonly referred to as “ Jones (Most) Improved”.The early illustrations of the Adams type differ from the later Johns version notably in the shape of the tube and the carrying of the objectives in a rotating wheel on the Jones type.This example falls between the two. The tube has the form shown in the Johns illustration but the lenses are of the Adams form.The signature Adams London is normally considered the form used by Dudley Adams after 1795. The Adams business ended in bankruptcy in 1817.The microscope is accompanied by 6 button objectives and accessories such as a frog plate and Lieberkuhn.Ref: Millburn J.R., 2000, “Adams of Fleet Street”Generally good condition. Some minor wear to lacquer on foot. Case lid with chipped veneer and owner's plate missing. Various components missing.

Is there a cooler classic car? Understated, Highland Green, Fastback silhouette; this is a superb example that drives as well as it looks. The original Mustang was exactly the right car at the right time and consequently, this 'sports car for the masses' sold 1,000,000 in less than two years. The secret of the Mustang's success was a broad appeal that extended beyond the target market thanks to a great value-for-money package, combining sporty looks, decent economy and brisk performance. Available as a Notchback Coupe, Convertible or, from 1965, as Fastback Coupe and the array of trim and engine options meant that there was a 'Stang' to satisfy everyone. The fastback Coupe is an effortlessly cool shape and is the Mustang profile that people default to in their mind's eye. Mustangs could be ordered in specifications ranging from six-cylinder economy to V8-powered luxury, whilst customers could choose from an extensive range of factory options with the result that seldom are two Mustangs identical. Already an outstanding success, the Mustang was turned into a legend overnight following its appearance in the Steve McQueen film, Bullitt  in 1968. In one of the most spectacular car chases ever seen in a motion picture, McQueen's maverick cop, Frank Bullitt, wowed audiences as he was pursued by two hitmen driving a Dodge Charger 440 'Magnum' in a high-speed chase through the streets of San Francisco. Bullitt essentially did for movie car chases what Star Wars did for science fiction films. That's because, unlike other movies at the time, the stunt driving was all real; there were no cheap rear-screen projections used for the close-up shots of the actors, and none of the scenes were sped up in post-production to heighten the sense of speed. They didn't need to be, because those cars really were barrelling through the streets of San Francisco at over 110mph! There was a real sense of danger, unlike any movie chase before it, as the two muscle cars weaved through traffic and jumped over the hills of San Francisco, while the camera literally put you in the driving seat. The soundtrack is glorious too, and we don't mean the music soundtrack. Not a word of dialogue is spoken during the 11-minute long sequence. Apart from the scene-setting jazz score that does a great job of building tension before the chase erupts in a cloud of tire smoke, there's no music either, allowing you to appreciate the sound of two thunderous V8 muscle cars and their screaming tortured tyres battling it out. It promptly became an unforgettable part of cinematic history and confirmed the Mustang as one of the all-time classics.The car presented here is a 1968 Ford Mustang, Steve McQueen 'Bullitt-style' Fastback with subtle upgrades to get it to the level of accuracy we see today. It’s supplied with a Marti Report (see image attached) which shows that it was an original Highland Green Fastback built at Ford’s Dearborn plant and sold by the Rebsamen Motor Company in Little Rock, Arkansas. Before leaving the USA, it was registered and used in California and a copy of the California Title is present. The car arrived in the UK in 2015 and is registered correctly with all import taxes paid.The paintwork is very good throughout, dressed in movie-correct, Highland Green, and the exterior has front and rear bumper guards, screen sun-visor, correct inset sidelights, front and rear inset reflectors, original-style chrome mirrors and twin 2-inch exhaust pipes. The car sits on period-correct Torq-Thrust wheels with 225/55/16 Bridgestone Sport tyres. The private McQueen movie number plate 'JJZ' is also supplied with the car.The interior has been fully restored with movie-correct, black deluxe seats, woodgrain dash panel and door cards, and new carpets and headlining. The correct, 4-speed, top-loader, manual gearbox has the Hurst GT shifter with a white ball GT gear knob and was refurbished recently (an invoice refers). 3-point front seat belts and rear lap belts are installed. The 302ci V8 starts on the button and sounds great with its nickel-plated, 'shorty' performance headers and full X-pipe custom large dual Magnaflow exhausts. Steering is power-assisted, and disc brakes are fitted on the front. The indicated mileage is 4,642, the MOT is valid until 8th August 2024 and there is a small service file with some bills. Our vendor has spent £12,000 in further improving this car’s driveability, with recent work to the gearbox and suspension, plus some other minor touches (see invoices attached), to make this a really spot-on classic muscle car, with the sure-fire cool-factor of its Bullitt-style demeanour.We welcome any inspection of this iconic piece of American automotive history. Here is your opportunity to purchase an accurate homage to the world's most famous Mustang - unleash your inner McQueen!Specification Make: FORD MUSTANG Model: 289 FASTBACK Year: 1967 Chassis Number: 8F02C114635 Registration Number: JJZ 454 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: C60E-942S-K Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 5005 Miles Make: LHDClick here for more details and images

Lot 245

A very smart example of the legendary Defender 90 in the popular XS specification and fitted with a galvanised chassis. An icon for over 68 years, production of Land Rover's Defender ceased in January 2016 with more than 2,000,000 models built since the original Series I arrived in 1948. Never has there been a car that has so captured the imagination of the world. Land Rovers have saved lives, won wars, delivered aid and hope, conveyed Kings and Queens and numerous Popes, ferried injured animals from the lowliest sheep to the proudest lion to safety. The Land Rover has conquered ravines, deserts and snow, broken records and along the way won the hearts of millions.For 2007, the Defender benefitted from a serious revamp with a new common-rail diesel EU4-compliant engine from the Ford Transit, a new 6-speed gearbox, new fascia, new seats and a heating and ventilation system that actually works. The XS specification from 2007 included electric windows to the front, half-leather seating and a fancier dashboard than standard. Land Rover had acknowledged that perhaps not all Defenders were destined for muddy tracks, rivers and moorland, and those drivers that did have a Labrador as a front-seat companion might find it convenient to open the passenger window at the touch of a button. The Defender 90 in XS specification offered perhaps the best affordable combination of drivability, passenger comfort for four and rear load capacity when required due to the foldable seats. The Defender 90 is also far easier to park than its longer wheelbase sibling, the 110, and the Defender is as popular in town as it is in the country.Supplied new to the first of just three former keepers on 28th September 2007, this Defender 90 XS was used on a large private estate for the first ten years or so before being dry stored until the time came for the next custodian in June 2021. Intended for country pursuits, the next owner swiftly concluded that the Land Rover was 'too good' for his intentions and presented the car to auction but not before a fresh fluid service was completed and five brand new tyres on SVX anniversary dual-tone alloy wheels were fitted. Greater illumination is provided via the LED headlight kit, which is a welcome bonus compared to the original headlights.Whilst there are fancier, and substantially more expensive, examples on the market, this unassuming Defender 90 XS offers a multitude of uses on either turf or tarmac at a sensible estimate. Freshly serviced and presented with an MOT, which was issued without advisories, the overall condition is superb, due no doubt to the galvanised chassis and overall care and attention that it has received over the years.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER 90 XS SW Year: 2007 Chassis Number: SALLDVBS77A743193 Registration Number: DY57 WXK Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 070708125629244DT Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 64190 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black Half HideClick here for more details and images
