', Sacheverell shares some worrying financial news with Osbert, 'the other nice piece of personal news is that Georgia's mother writes that it is no longer possible to pay her allowance as formerly, but then the poor thing's letter goes into complete gibberish, so that it is quite impossible to know what does she mean or what the figures she quotes refer to, oh! darling, the news altogether!! And this aching cold . . Rebecca West's book is irritating, and has a character in it called 'The Sitwells' . . .oddly enough, I don't think it's meant to be rude, . . rather a compliment'.

They already want me to do three evenings a week 7pm to 10pm . . . I honestly think that ones patriotic duty hits the direction of trying to make the muddle worse, because it is only a muddle that will get the better of the Germans. I certainly intend to do my best. Oh! dear to think one was ever alive. Best love to you Darling and to Edith from your loving brother Sach.'; the second letter - 2pp., 27 lines written in blue ink to both sides of a single leaf, with the printed address Weston Hall, Towcester, Northamptonshire, Tuesday 11 July, 1961, 'Dearest Osbert', I have been a little shattered by that notice in 'The Observer' with it's unfortunate, and quite horrid captioning.

Regularly used by John Cooper and discovered by Mike Brewer after 40 years in the US, repatriated to the UK and offered here today.Classic 1967 Mk ll 1275S finished in Almond Green with an OEW roof and a full-length matching WebastoSold new in the UK and enjoyed before ending up in 1980 back at John Cooper Garages in BrightonFor several years it was used by John Cooper as his transport in the Brighton areaAmerican Phil Reed was a London to Brighton run enthusiast and would regularly visit the UK with his wife Joyce to attend this eventIn '82 or '83 he wandered into John Cooper's business whilst over here and was enamoured with this 1275S He duly bought  it and shipped it back to join his growing collection in California where it was to remain for the next nearly 40 yearsBy pure coincidence, Mike Brewer was viewing the collection after Phil Reed passed away and recognised the well known (in the UK) Cooper S Now back in the UK, fully recommissioned, and for sale Lots of interesting provenance including the original key fob, set of driving gloves found in the door bin, UK Logbook, original invoice from JCG, shipping paperwork, a photograph of John and Phil with the car, an uncashed cheque signed by JC, the Heritage Certificate and magazine articles.Whilst filming in Long Beach, California, Mike Brewer and his wife Michelle were invited to view the collection of the recently deceased, Phil Reed, who had been a lifelong ‘petrolhead’ with a passion for early ‘brass age’ cars. Phil had been a regular participant in the London to Brighton Run and had never let 5,000 miles and an ocean get in the way of enjoying the long-running Veteran car event.When he passed away the collection was left to his sons who were the first to admit to not sharing their father’s passion and had decided that the cars were to be sold off. Mike agreed to go along and have a look, not expecting to find two Minis sitting amongst the Cadillacs, Delahayes and Hartfords. The first car was a 1961 Austin Seven, an older restoration in good condition that had been bought in Brighton (Lot 336). The second car was an Almond Green Austin Cooper S in super condition and standard other than a pair of, not very sporty, wing mirrors and a set of Minilite-style alloys.Mike thought that he vaguely recognised the registration number (it was still on UK plates having remained in the collection) and ,after some investigation, it transpired that the car had been purchased by Phil Reed from John Cooper Garages on one of his Brighton Run trips in 1982/83. It had been sold new in the UK and at some point had been a part-exchange on a later car. It was in such super condition that it was JC's choice of daily transport when he was in the Brighton area. After further research, inspection of some documents and photographs with the car and conversations with Mini expert Andy 'Ace' Harrison and John Cooper's son Mike, the car's provenance was established beyond doubt, the deal was done and LUF 849F returned home.With the Mini are lots of interesting bits and pieces including the original key fob, a set of driving gloves found in the door bin, UK Logbook, original invoice from JCG, shipping paperwork, a photograph of John Cooper and Phil Reed with the car, an uncashed cheque signed by JC, the Heritage Certificate and magazine articles. The non-original wing mirrors have gone, as have the eighties alloys, and the Mini now sits on its refurbished original wheels wearing a set of new Dunlops.The final words are from Mike; "It's a fabulous thing to own and I'm delighted that I found it. It's just beautiful to look at and be in, especially knowing that John Cooper used the car himself". SpecificationMake: AUSTINModel: MINI MK IIYear: 1967Chassis Number: CA2S71012477Registration Number: LUF 849FTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 9F-SA-Y/46530 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 56065 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Porcelain Green/ Grey VinylClick here for more details and images

partially impressed artist's seal and pottery seal, stoneware, incised Willow Tree design, tenmoku glaze36cm high, 17cm wide (14.1in high, 6.7in wide)Footnote: One day in fine weather I went round to the Penwith Society of Art and there I saw a large tall brown Bernard Leach pot and immediately decided I would buy it, went up to the curator (Kathy Watkins) and told her I would bring in the cheque tomorrow (£35).I walked down the gallery studying at Bernard's small porcelain pots and was joined by some Americans. We got talking and I so fired them with my enthusiasm I sold some there and then to the Americans. Returning to the curator to confirm I was coming in tomorrow. Kate Nicholson was standing beside her 'Too late' said the curator 'Too late' said Kate, ‘you should be quicker I have just bought it!’I was furious but kept control and left the gallery.Who should I meet coming up from Barnaloft about to cross the road but Bernard and his housekeeper, Trudi Scott, Bernard half blind waving his stick at me said 'And what is the matter with you?’ I told him the story and mentioned the artist, to my surprise Bernard roared and roared with laughter saying 'Typical, Typical!!’ meaning the Nicholson family getting into the front row. I stamped off.Some time later just before one of his trips to Japan, I think, Bernard walked in to my studio with a large pot and placed it on my shelf in the lower studio, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, meanwhile I was shrieking 'Bernard that is just like the pot I wanted' and Bernard replied (still standing with his back to me and facing the sea) 'Well you had better hurry up this time!’ adding 'Make the cheque to the Leach pottery' the price was less the commission of the Penwith (£23).I could not believe he had made it specially for me! But he had! Sometime later the Central Office of Information requested to photograph this pot, Bernard decided to be photographed holding the pot at my studio Barnaloft, so he came in and was photographed holding it and the Central Office of Information suggested another photograph was taken, this one to be taken of us together.
