Lot 1000
1971 Triumph Vitesse Mk II convertible, 1998 cc. Registration number WTV 451J (NO PAPERWORK). Chassis number HC57592 CV. Engine number TBC. The Triumph Vitesse was produced from May 1962 until July 1971; it was an in-line 6-cylinder performance version of the Herald saloon. The Herald had been introduced on 22nd April 1959 and was a 2-door car styled by the Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti. By the early 1960s, however, Triumph began to give thought to a sports saloon, based on the Herald and using their 6-cylinder engine. Michelotti was again approached for styling and he came up with a car that used almost all body panels from the Herald, combined with a new front end with a slanted "Chinese Eye" 4-headlamp design. The Vitesse sold extremely well for Triumph. The car was well liked for its performance, reasonable fuel economy and the well-appointed interior. The Vitesse had few rivals for the price; able to perform as well as many sports cars, but with room for a family. The convertible in particular was virtually unique in the marketplace and another genuine 4-seater sporting convertible would not reappear from a British manufacturer until the Triumph Stag several years further down the line. The Mark II was launched in October 1968 as the final update to the range, intended to be Triumph's answer to growing criticism of the rear suspension, it was fitted with a redesigned layout using new lower wishbones and Rotoflex half-shaft couplings, a system it shared with the GT6. The engine was upgraded and both the interior and exterior received tweaks. This was the ultimate Vitesse, a saloon or convertible with performance superior to the MGB and the Sunbeam Alpine sports car (in both acceleration and top speed) but with four proper seats (as long as the rear passengers were not too tall) and a large boot. Contemporary testing in the UK press listed the Vitesse's 0-70mph time as 15.0 seconds against 17.9 for both the MGBGT and the Sunbeam Alpine Series IV. This Saffron Yellow example, believed to be the 527th from last produced of a run of 3,472, was bought to be restored some 20 years ago and stripped down with some new second hand panels being obtained. These have been stored in a separate dry garage and unfortunately the Vitesse has now suffered with the collapse of its garage roof. It is registered with DVLA and recorded as being first registered in March 1971 and was last taxed in 1986. There is a large quantity of spare parts that have been assembled for the restoration with this lot, buyers should make themselves aware of what there is. There is no paperwork with this lot and buyers should ensure they have inspected what comes with the vehicle.
Lot 1011
1972 Triumph GT6 Mk III, 1998 cc. Registration number AEE 869L. Chassis number KE13877. Engine number KEO 10994HE. The GT6 production ran from 1966 to 1973. In early 1963 Giovanni Michelotti was commissioned by Standard-Triumph to design a GT version of their recently introduced Spitfire 4, also designed by Michelotti. An unmodified Spitfire 4 was delivered to the design studios in Italy and late in 1963 the prototype Spitfire GT4 was returned to England for evaluation. The styling of the vehicle was a success but the extra weight of the GT bodyshell resulted in extremely poor performance from the Spitfire's 1,147 cc power unit, and plans for producing the Spitfire GT4 were shelved. To overcome the lack of performance inherent in the heavier body style the Spitfire's 4-cylinder engine was replaced with the more powerful 1998 cc 6-cylinder engine from the Triumph Vitesse. The car was further developed and refined and eventually launched as the Triumph GT6. The Mk II was introduced in 1969 and to overcome the poor handling the rear suspension was significantly re-engineered using reversed lower wishbones and Rotoflex driveshaft couplings, the front bumper was raised (in common with the Spitfire Mk 3) to conform to new crash regulations, under the bonnet, the engine was the uprated Vitesse MkII unit developing 104 bhp with a new cylinder head, camshaft, and manifolds. The last major facelift for the GT6 came in 1970 in the form of the Mk III. This time the entire bodyshell was revised to match the changes made to the Spitfire Mk IV: modifications included a cut-off rear end, recessed door handles and a smoother front end. Only detail changes were made to the mechanics, but in 1973 - close to the end of the car's production life - the rear suspension was changed again, this time for the cheaper layout fitted to the Spitfire Mk IV. Engine power and torque for the Mk III was similar to the Mk II, but better aerodynamics led to a new top speed of 112 mph. This example has spent its entire life in the Scunthorpe region; in March 1987 it was owned by Colin Taylor and our vendor purchased it in June 1991. At this time it had a recorded MOT mileage of 54,472 and it was in a poor condition. A full body off restoration then followed (see comprehensive photograph album) with all components either refurbished or overhauled. It was used for two years before being stored in a dry garage in 1993. Sold with the V5, a 1992 MOT and tax disc, it now is need of another restoration. Most parts are believed to be with the vehicle but prospective buyers should satisfy themselves.
Lot 1025
1957 Lambretta LD 150, 150 cc. Registration number ROT 956 (see text). Frame number TBC. Engine number LD150 * 241349. The well established 125cc Lambretta LD 125 was joined by a 150cc bigger brother in October 1954. New features included the chrome silencer, often known as the 'coffee pot', damped front suspension to aid rider comfort and a twin 'push and pull' cable operated gear change, in place of the single Teleflex cable of the 125. Top speed was quoted as 55 mph yet Innocenti, still claimed fuel consumption to be 140mpg, identical to that of the 125. The LD 150 was very popular and outsold its smaller brother. The so-called Mk. II LD 150 (there was no Mk. 1, as the 150 only appeared when the LD 125 was in Mk. II form) featured an inside leg shield toolbox which also housed the speedometer and the now very rare option of one other additional gauge, usually a clock. Colour choices were green, grey, beige and red. There was also an electric start version, called the LDA 150. The Mk. III version launched in January 1957 featured an epicyclical kick starter and the speedometer was now mounted in a purpose built housing which also included the horn and mounted on top of the handle bars. The rear of the scooter gained a more streamlined look, with a cast rear light unit bolted onto it and the toolbox door now behind the rear seat. A new air taken to the rear of the frame through a rubber hose helped reduce induction noise, as well as allowing the engine to rev more freely. Colour choice was now green, grey, beige, off-white or blue with contrasting side panels in blue, maroon, red or green. ROT was first registered in Hampshire and purchased in November 1966 by the vendor's father whilst he was posted to RAF Andover as a gift. She was named Florence and repainted in amber, white and black; the colours of Hull City AFC. A few modifications were made at this time; the original two seats were replaced by a dual seat and the two spot lights added. Eight months later the family relocated to Hull and she was used until early 1969 when she was replaced by a newer model; the SX in this auction. She was first stored in a lock up, before moving to various garages around Hull where the family have lived. The final resting garage's roof has now collapsed and Florence has emerged to the world after nearly 50 years of being dormant. Her engine still turns over by the kick start but she will need a full restoration. Sold with an original key, a 1966 and 1968 MOT, a 1966 certificate of insurance; she is not on DVLA's register.
Lot 93
A LARGE CLOISONNÉ ENAMEL FISH BASIN, Qianlong (1736 - 1795), of deep circular form with slightly tapering sides, the exterior decorated with a continuous mountainous landscape filled with running deer, cranes and fruiting peach trees, under a gilt bronze Greek key rim, the interior side walls with carp, trout and other fish swimming amongst reeds and aquatic plants, similarly decorated to the floor with frigs and crustaceans, the underside with encircled reign mark in Kaishu (regular) script, 63cm diameter Imperial LuxuriesLuxury has ever been the condition of those who rule, whether their taste be driven by their personal inclination or by the political imperative to display magnificence. The Qianlong Emperor (reigning from 1736 to 1795) knew luxury from both of these perspectives. Towards the latter part of his reign, he immersed himself increasingly in things that delighted the senses; some would argue that he did so to the detriment of governing vigilantly, leaving a door open for unscrupulous mismanagers to enter and operate behind his back. Whatever the truth of that, at court the imperial field of vision was abundantly crowded with sights of opulence and refinement. Indeed, imperial workshops had been set up in Beijing to produce exquisite art objects, toys ‘to keep a drowsy emperor awake’, as the poet W. B. Yeats might have put it.Amongst the assorted opulent playthings that formerly thronged the palace, it is easy to imagine this large fish basin taking its place. Basins of similar size, with a similar decoration of deer on the exterior and fish on the interior, are known, and have been attributed to the imperial workshops, probably in the latter part of the reign. They represent a high point of eighteenth-century Chinese cloisonné work. Decoration on Chinese art seldom exists for its own sake; images come freighted with meaning, and the meanings released by the imagery on this basin are no exception, for they heap one auspicious wish upon another. On the interior, vivid fish and other water creatures navigate through aquatic plants. In Chinese, the word for a fish (yu) sounds somewhat like the word for abundance. Hence a number of fishes represent abundance multiplied, while goldfish (jinyu) imply abundant gold. Two of the fish on the basin appear to be carp (li), a word which in turn sounds a little like the word for profit; by logical extension, two carp represent profit doubled. The basin’s exterior functions similarly, for it is replete with motifs of longevity which have been combined into a landscape: we find deer, cranes and pine trees, all expressive of long life. The basin’s ensemble, a tour de force of cloisonné work, would have collaborated with so many other imperial artefacts in conspiring to enfold the ageing emperor in a vision of harmony, prosperity, and long life.A number of comparable basins have been sold including, for example, that from the Mandel Collection offered by Christie’s, Hong Kong, 30 May 2012, lot 3910, and another by Sotheby’s, Hong Kong, 30 May 2018, lot 3039; unlike those basins, the present one additionally bears the reign mark of the emperor done in cloisonné.Prof. Alan.
