- Handsome four-door pillarless design and 1 of just 2 examples known to have survived - A rival in period to the Alvis Speed 20, Lagonda M45 and Bentley 3.5 Litre - Potent 3.3 litre OHV straight-six engine, documented history and wonderful interior H&H are indebted to the vendor for the following description: 'This powerful 3.3 litre coupe was top of the Sunbeam range in 1933. Its lavish interior and low-line style singles it out as one of the great sports / touring cars of the 1930s. It is in good condition all round and ready to show or use. The Sunbeam 25 sports cars of the period vied with the Derby Bentleys and Alvis Speed 20s for prominence as the sporting gentleman's pride and joy. Relatively few 25s were made and this four-door pillarless coupe was the most expensive Sunbeam at the time with only one other known to still exist. Its history is well-documented with seven owners, generally in the South of England and latterly in Cambridge. It has covered less than 20,000 miles in the last forty-five years as evidenced from the MOT certificates. The Sunbeam had only one owner from 1967 to 1995 and was used regularly during the late 1960s and 1970s and attended Sandhurst rallies over this period. Mileage on MOTs was not recorded during the 1960s, but in 1971 a mileage of 3,500 was recorded and the history suggests that the car had always been kept on the road and in regular use. We know the Sunbeam was on the road in 1975 as a tax disc is present, but it was soon after garaged as its enthusiast owner opted to use his 18.2 Sunbeam model instead. Sadly during the mid-1990s the long term owner passed away and the car was given to a specialist for appraisal. The Sunbeam at this point required a high level of work but retained lots of originality. A new owner was found in 1995 and substantial work was then carried out. The engine was overhauled with new pistons, new big end bolts, refaced cylinder head, recut valve seats, refaced valves and various machining work was carried out. It was reported that white metal work had been done in 1965 and only several thousand miles had been covered since. The gearbox was inspected, the clutch relined and a higher ratio crown wheel and pinion fitted; ideal for longer distance touring. The electrical system was re-wired, brake system overhauled, steering overhauled and the suspension treated to new telescopic shock absorbers. The exhaust system was replaced and the starter motor and dynamo stripped, checked and overhauled. The bodywork was stripped down, floorboards and bulk head replaced and various frame work panels replaced or repaired. The Sunbeam was painted and various re-chroming work carried out. The interior was found totally original and treated to new carpets, new headlining and leather work carried out to the rear. Between 1996 and 2004 the Sunbeam covered around 7,000 miles and then changed hands; between 2004 and 2011 another 6,000 miles were accrued. 'AXE 411' was then sold to its most recent owner who covered several thousand further miles and carried out the expensive engine work. The car is currently in good mechanical order and had the brakes overhauled and relined again recently. The bodywork has a deep mature shine and internally the leather and woodwork are outstanding. The sliding roof pulls back easily and the steering is surprisingly light once the car is moving at over a few miles per hour. It comes with good records of its more recent history, tools and a sales brochure. All in all it is a most imposing car of the period. Rare, valuable and highly collectable and something different from the usual crop of thirties Bentleys'.

- Original RHD first series 1.3 S that was acquired by the vendor in 2000 - Thoroughly renovated to an exception standard by a Lancia specialist - One of only 1,898 S models believed to have been built in both LHD and RHD This exceptional Lancia Fulvia is one of the company's Sport models that were bodied by the highly acclaimed Italian carrozzeria, Zagato. The first series Fulvia Sport was produced by Zagato on behalf of Lancia only between the years 1968 and 1970, and just 1,898 1.3 S variants are believed to have been built. Those fitted with right hand drive steering made up a very small proportion of that total. A highly desirable Zagato masterpiece, this example was acquired by the vendor in 2000 and underwent a thorough rejuvenation of its highly stylish coachwork in 2013. The work was completed by Lancia restoration specialist Western Lancia of Devon, and the quality of the work was clearly done to an exceptional standard, with door shut lines possibly finer than when the car left the factory in around 1970. There are a many invoices and photographs on file recording the involved works that were done to the car, and the vendor reports that the 818.303 coded (1.3 S) engine also received attention during the rejuvenation process. The vendor continues by describing the bodywork and paintwork as being in "excellent" condition and the remainder of the car as being "very good". One of several Fulvias in the vendor's collection, the car appears to have had a lot of money spent on it, and anyone looking for what must be one of the finest Fulvia Zagato cars on the market should pay close attention to this example. Factor in the very limited production numbers of a car produced by one of the finest and exotic Italian carrozzeria of the day on behalf of one of Italy's most illustrious marques, these Zagato bodied Lancia Fulvias represent exceptional value for money, but for how much longer?

That the recently departed Defender is an immediately recognisable descendent of the Land Rover launched at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show, is huge testimony to Maurice Wilks' original design. By the time of the 1969-1971 Series IIA, the model was the workhorse of the world and accounted for around 90% of the 4x4 sector in Australia, Africa and the Middle East. This 109in five-door Safari is a remarkable 1983 Series III example that has driven a mere 60,000 miles from new in the hands of just two owners. Delightfully original, it has never been restored and retains its original 12-seater interior. The Landie's accompanying maintenance file confirms it's always been well cared for, though little used in the last eight years. The vendor presently classes the bodywork, Blue paintwork, Black vinyl interior trim, 2.25-litre petrol engine and manual transmission as all being in 'very good' order. 'UAK 201Y' is MOT'd into April 2017.

- Competed in the 2010 Peking to Paris and 2016 Paris to Vienna events - Engine overhaul by David Moore of New South Wales, Australia in 2014 at a cost of $6648 Australian dollars If you have ambitions to compete in one of the world's great marathon car rallies, then 'Isabelle' is the mount for you. Why? Because this well-travelled right-hand drive Vintage Tourer has already proved its worth on the 2010 Peking to Paris and 2016 Paris to Vienna events. Having received an extensive mechanical overhaul that reportedly encompassed everything apart from its differential, driveshafts and axles in 2008/09 ready for the P2P, the Dodge's four-cylinder 3.4-litre engine was treated to an additional refresh in 2014 by David Moore of New South Wales, Australia at a cost of $6648 AUD. Fitted with electric fans, and a distributor in place of its original magneto, the Tourer is offered with Nova reference concerning its UK import, collection of invoices and various spares. Strikingly finished in Red over Black the Dodge is currently considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' engine and three-speed manual transmission, 'serviceable' paintwork, 'very marginal' interior trim and 'average' four-door bodywork. Indeed, aside from a full service he believes this indomitable Tourer is ready for another crack at the P2P. Still in production, a book which includes photos and the history of 'Isabelle' competing on the 2010 Peking to Paris will be sent to the new keeper.

The Range Rover re-defined the 4x4 market when it was born into an unsuspecting world in 1970. Unmolested versions of what have retrospectively been dubbed the Range Rover Classic are now much prized, so one can expect this highly original one that apparently boasts just one owner from new to cause quite a stir. It is a left-hand drive three-door French example that's only recently been repatriated and comes complete with its original carte grise. Its indicated mileage of under 50,000kms is believed by the vendor to be correct, and he currently grades the V8 engine and Tan-coloured cloth interior trim as 'very good', the manual transmission as 'good', the bodywork and electrical equipment as 'average' and the Yellow paintwork as now being in rather 'poor' condition. The Range Rover Classic was produced from 1970 to 1996, at which point it was supplanted by the more contemporary-looking but mechanically similar P38A.

The BMW Type 319 was the brainchild of Fritz Fiedler and Rudolf Schleicher. Like its fabled Type 328 successor, the earlier model utilised a notably rigid, tubular A-frame chassis. True to BMW's contemporary 'Leichtbau' (or lightweight construction) philosophy, the patent protected structure consisted of two large-diameter side members and three rectangular cross members. Equipped with independent transverse-leaf front suspension, a well-located live rear axle and rack and pinion steering, the Type 319 also boasted hydraulic shock absorbers and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 45bhp 1.9 litre OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of over 70mph in standard tune. Built between late 1934 and the Spring of 1937, the 319 was offered in a total of five body styles and, of the 6,466 produced, just 2,066 are thought to have been two-door Cabriolet versions such as that now offered. Notably exclusive vehicles of the period, they would each have been priced at some 5,800 Reichmarks. The related but still rarer and more powerful 319/1 Roadster added kudos to the model range courtesy of an enviable competition career. The left-hand drive 319 Cabriolet now being sold is bodied by Karosserie Drauz of Heilbronn. Finished in what are believed to be its original colours of Grey and Blue, it was the subject of a thorough restoration back in the 1990s yet, in the words of the vendor, 'still presents very smartly today'. It was imported to The Netherlands in 1959, where the first owner retained the BMW for almost 30 years. Its history between 1988 and 1997 is unknown, but since then it has had just one Dutch keeper. The vendor currently classes the paintwork and Black faux leather interior trim as 'very good', and the bodywork, six-cylinder engine, four-speed transmission and electrical equipment as 'good'.

Triumph's TR series began with the unveiling of a prototype (retrospectively called the TR1) at the 1952 London Motor Show. Trials revealed poor handling, however, and the design was not progressed and the new, much improved TR2 was launched the following year. Its two-seater body was mounted on a substantial separate chassis, while suspension was independent by coil springs at the front and live axle hung on leaf springs at the rear. The TR3 of 1955 was a direct evolution of the TR2. With it came minor styling revisions, a slight hike in power and the options of an occasional rear seat and bolt-on steel hard top. In 1956 the front brakes were changed from drum to disc units. The final iteration, the TR3A, appeared in 1957. It was instantly recognisable by its wider front grille, exterior door handles and lockable boot handle. It continued in production until 1962, by which time 58,236 are said to have been built. Contemporary road tests achieved 0-60mph acceleration times of some 11.5 seconds and a mean top speed of a whisker under 110mph. The 1961 'home market' example being sold is understood to have had just two previous keepers from new and to have been extensively restored around a new chassis over a five year period by a suitably qualified motor engineer. Every panel and component was evidently either replaced or refurbished, the 2130cc engine overhauled and equipped with a stainless steel exhaust system, the brakes and steering systems refurbished, the bodywork treated to a £5,000 bare metal respray, the brightwork rechromed, and new wire wheels installed. Finished in the attractive combination of Powder Blue bodywork and White-piped Black interior trim, '494 UXS' comes complete with overdrive gearbox, new hood, tonneau, side screens and documented history of the restoration.

- An iconic car described by the vendor as being in good to excellent condition - 192,900 miles and reportedly with a generous history file and 18 expired MOT certificates - Reportedly excellent paintwork following a glass-out repaint in 2015 This 911 Carrera 3.2 is finished in the striking colour combination of Guards Red paint and black leather with red seat piping. Acquired by the lady vendor in June 2014, the car was reportedly treated to a thorough glass-out bodywork refresh that apparently included the replacement of the rear quarter panels, kidney bowls, door shuts, sills, and two new Porsche front wings. The car was then repainted to what the vendor describes as an excellent standard. With an odometer reading of about 193,000 miles, the car has what is described as a "considerable history file including numerous bills and invoices and 18 old MOT's". The vendor describes the car as having very good interior trim and excellent body and paintwork.

Alongside the Dante Giacosa-penned four-door 2300 Saloon and Estate cars, Fiat decided to offer a two-door Coupe styled by Sergio Sartorelli of Ghia - the standard model boasted 105bhp while the more powerful S version gave 136bhp. A prototype was first displayed at the 1960 Turin Motorshow and the final version was placed on general sale in 1962. The major underpinnings were shared with the 2300 Saloon, (which itself was effectively a mild update of the highly proven 2100 model); the only notable differences being an increase in the front and rear track and final drive ratio. Though the Coupe body was developed by Ghia, the styling house lacked the production capacity for the envisaged volumes, and manufacture was therefore subcontracted to the Turin-based OSI concern. The model reigned from 1962 to 1969, when it was supplanted by the 130 Coupe. The 2300 was of unitary construction and featured double wishbone front suspension with torsion bar springing and a solid axle suspended on leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by servo-assisted discs on all four corners. Most examples produced were equipped with four-speed manual transmission, though a Saxomat automated clutch (later, a three-speed Borg Warner automatic unit) was a theoretical option. Power operated windows, Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel, passenger footrest and other such luxury equipment were standard fit for the elegant new Coupe. This left-hand drive example is a rare first series one - notable for the lack of window frames in the doors. It is finished in White and trimmed in contrasting Black leather. A previously restored vehicle, it is presently classed by the vendor as having 'excellent' interior trim, 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, six-cylinder engine and electrical system, and 'good' manual transmission. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted 91,223 kilometres and the rare Fiat is being sold complete with its original user's manual.

- Extensive restoration 1989 - 1991 - Finished in Warm Water Green with Beige West of England cloth - Extremely driveable example cared for by Omicron in the current ownership Although father and son Vincenzo and Gianni Lancia shared a passion for technical innovation and engineering integrity, Vincenzo was against entering his company's products into competition whereas Gianni saw it as an ideal way of showcasing them. Appointed General Manager in 1948, Gianni gave the head of his experimental department, Vittorio Jano, freedom to create a 'cutting edge' design. Unsurprisingly, given the legendary Jano's race engineering background, the resultant Aurelia boasted an enviable mechanical specification. Based around a four-door pillarless monocoque, it was equipped with all-round independent suspension (Lancia's trademark sliding pillar front / semi-trailing arm rear), worm and sector steering and four-wheel drum brakes. Debuting at the March 1950 Turin Salon in B10 saloon guise, the Aurelia was the world's first production car to (a) make use of radial tyres and (b) feature a V6 engine. Commendably light thanks to its alloy cylinder block and heads, the powerplant was the work of Francesco de Virgilio and Ettore Zaccone-Mina. Its optimal 60-degree Vee angle was complimented by compact pushrod-operated overhead valvegear and full pressure lubrication. For enhanced weight distribution, a sophisticated transaxle not only played host to the four-speed transmission, clutch and differential but also acted as a mounting point for the inboard rear brakes. The advanced chassis had obvious competition potential and plans for a more sporting variant were progressed. Launched at the April 1951 Turin Salon the resulting B20 GT was a revelation. Styled by Ghia's Boano (Pinin Farina assumed responsibility for production after the first ninety-eight cars), the super-sleek fastback coupe was lower, lighter and stiffer than its four-door siblings. Sitting on a 20cm shorter wheelbase, the B20 was initially powered by the same enlarged 2-litre V6 as the B21 (albeit with a few tuning modifications). Further benefiting from stiffer suspension and bigger brakes, the GT handled so well that it put many sportscars to shame. Meticulously prepared but to standard specification, four Works B20 GTs were entered for the 1951 Mille Miglia. Leaving Brescia at 3:20am on Sunday 29th April, the Lancia pairing of Giovanni Bracco and Umberto Maglioli were met with torrential rain. Making the most of the appalling conditions, they were among the first six cars to reach Rome, attacking the mountains with gusto and taking five minutes out of Villoresi's leading Ferrari 340 America on the penultimate Appenine leg alone. Thwarted by the fast, straight roads that predominated after Bologna, they finished an incredible second overall (less than twenty minutes behind the Ferrari after thirteen hours racing). During its first two seasons the B20 GT secured another class win on the Mille Miglia plus class victories at Le Mans (1951, 1952), Coppa d'Oro delle Dolomiti (1951, 1952), Pescara 6-hours (1951), Carrera Panamericana (1952) and Targa Florio (1952) amongst others. Evolved through six series, the B20 GT became progressively more refined gaining a larger 2.5 litre engine in 3rd Series guise. This example, having been discovered sitting on blocks in Milan with c.80,000km recorded in 1965, was purchased by British 'Lancista', Harry Manning, and imported to the UK where he swapped the troublesome 3rd Series engine for a slightly more powerful 4th Series unit with shell bearings. It then passed through three further keepers before coming into the current ownership in 1987. Recommissioned by Tim Burrett, the car was used for the next eighteen months before a minor bodywork repair escalated into a full blown restoration which took place between 1989 and 1991. The engine was entrusted to marque experts Omicron Engineering whilst Glen Gibbs looked after the bodywork and S&H Motorsport were commissioned to oversee the trimming and finishing of the car. Painted in Lancia Warm Water Green and trimmed with beige West of England Cloth, the accompanying history file includes numerous invoices detailing the works carried out and an album of photographs of the restoration. The vendor estimates that some £60,000 has been spent although he has never wished to add up the bills! Shortly after completion the car achieved a class concours win and in 2000 it was displayed on the Lancia Club stand at the NEC as part of the Aurelia 50th anniversary celebrations. Looked after by Omicron, a number of European tours have been successfully completed including three trips to Italy and one to Sicily. We are advised the car is extremely useable and drives very well, indeed it is expected to be driven to the sale venue from London. Featuring a Nardi wood rim steering wheel, desirable Borrani aluminium on steel wheels and FIAMM horns, sensible modifications include an electric fan (the original radiator slats are included), a bypass fuel pump to prevent fuel vaporisation in heavy traffic and a 12v accessories socket. A stainless steel exhaust is also fitted along with recent tyres. Offered with Swansea V5 document, the date of registration thereon is shown as 1965 although the vendor advises an MoT exemption can be arranged by completing the relevant forms. Eligible for many important events including the Mille Miglia, Aurelias seldom come to market and this represents an ideal opportunity to purchase an extremely well cared for example from long term ownership.

Gauntlets worn by Burns on the Dambusters Raid [BURNS STEPHEN]: (1921-1943) British Flight Sergeant, Rear Gunner of Lancaster ED936/G AJ-H of 617 Squadron on the Dambusters Raid, 16th May 1943. A pair of dark brown leather flying gauntlets used by Burns during World War II, and being the gloves worn by him on the Dambusters Raid. The gauntlets were issued by the Air Ministry and each feature official stamps and markings to the inside, the right hand glove with the clearer markings and featuring the date 1940. The gauntlets measure 14.5" in length and have straight working zips with the original oval leather pullers attached. Interestingly, and somewhat poignantly, the left hand glove bears the ink ownership name of W[illiam]. A[lbert]. Gillen. Some overall age wear, G Provenance: Accompanied by a copy of a typed inventory of the Burns Archive prepared by a previous owner in 2001 when he acquired the material from Dorothy Mundon, the sister of Stephen Burns. The present gauntlets are listed on the inventory, and also included in the lot is a copy of a handwritten letter from Mundon to the previous owner explaining that she has been through the inventory and that it is correct, and further stating that 'flying gloves worn by Steve in Dams Raid' are included. William Albert Gillen (1917-1943) Canadian Flight Sergeant who served with the RAF in 57 Squadron at the same time as Burns. Gillen was killed in action on 9th January 1943. There could be a number of reasons why Burns was later to wear the gloves of his flying colleague, although it would appear most plausible that Burns would have subsequently been handed the gloves for his own use following the tragic death of Gillen. Following Burns' involvement in the Dambusters Raid he returned home to Dudley for a short period of leave during which time he gave the gloves to his younger brother, Freddie. Burns flew as Rear Gunner in Pilot Officer Geoffrey Rice's crew for the Dambusters Raid of 16th May 1943 and the near fatal events of Lancaster ED936/G AJ-H are well documented, not least by Alan Cooper in his book The Dam Buster Raid - A Reappraisal 70 Years On (2013), in which he wrote 'Geoff [Rice] himself was not immune from trouble as he reached the Zyder Zee, hugging the surface of the water which was dark and unforgiving, he hit the water. He pulled up the stick but the damage was already done. The underside of the Lancaster was torn out and with it the bomb. So much water came in that Sergeant Burns, his rear gunner, was up to his knees in water and at one time the water came over his turret. The tailwheel had been forced up into the aircraft, breaking the main spar of the tailplane and finishing up near the Elsan toilet, which was near the rear door' It has also been written that Burns, to avoid drowning, smashed the Perspex windows of the rear turret, evidently whilst wearing the present flying gauntlets, so that the water could drain out, having remarked to Rice 'Christ! It's wet at the back, Skipper'. Items of flying clothing (especially those with exceptional provenance) used by any of the crew members from the eleven Lancaster bombers who successfully returned to RAF Scampton at the conclusion of Operation Chastise very rarely appear at auction and are highly desirable.
