J. Craig Thorpe (American, B. 1948) "Maine Locomotive" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood Legendary Locomotives of the 50 States Maine Commemorative Cover postmarked November 4, 1994. On November 4, 1905, the final segment of Maine's Bangor & Aroostook Railroad (BAR) was completed. Originally created to haul lumber, this railway gradually made the transition from carrying timber to transporting potatoes. Growing on land that was once forested, large crops of spuds replaced towering pines. Harvested potatoes were packed into the BAR's rail cars, each carrying an average load of 27.5 tons. During the late 1940s, nearly one and a half million tons of spuds traveled over the tracks of the BAR route. On several occasions Maine's harsh winters wreaked havoc on the operations of the BAR. "Potato drags" were known to freeze to the rails, causing workers to break the trains into smaller groups of cars in order to get them moving. Even spring thaws created problems for the line. Gaps made by frost holes caused the tracks to sink. However, track gangs kept the railway in top condition. The whole system was maintained with careful attention and was credited with championing dieselization, centralized traffic control and the use of 115-pound rail in Maine. Engine No. 172, one of the freight locomotives that moved the potato harvest, was a 2-8-0 type engine built in 1907 by the Rhode Island Locomotive Works. Image Size: 14 x 12 in.

Barry Wilkinson (British, B. 1923) "Jersey -- Rolls-Royce Phantom III" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor paiting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood Europa Cover for the Jersey 20.5P Europa stamp issued March 12, 1984. The Rolls-Royce Phantom III was a new model automobile in 1935 when it was first revealed. It was designed to give Rolls-Royce -- once again -- the right to claim that it was making the "best car in the world." In fact, except for the chassis, the separate band of coachbuilders, and the radiator design, the Phantom III was an entirely new car. No wonder that Mr. F.M. Wilcock, proprietor of the Jersey Motor Museum, ordered one of these magnificent vehicles restored for posterity. His museum -- located in lovely St. Peter's village -- was established in 1973 "to preserve historic motor vehicles of all types and photographic records relating to the island." The Phantom III chosen, was interestingly enough, the 1936 model specifically ordered by Wilcock's father. Since Rolls-Royce did not begin to produce complete cars until after the war, the firm of Freestone and Webb -- a superb coachbuilder of the day was hired to design the body. The car was given the code name "Spectre" in the Works at Derby. It had a 7668 cc all-aluminum overhead valve engine which sported dual ignition and hydraulic tappets. And, for the first time, General Motors Patents were used to fit a Rolls-Royce with independent front suspension. Wilcock later loaned the car to General Montgomery and General Carl Spaatz, as they planned the D-Day operations of 1944. But prudently, he refused to allow its use in France on D-Day itself.

John Swatsley (American, B. 1937) "The Adam Brown Locomotive" Signed lower left. Original oil on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Canada 64 Adam Brown stamp of March 10, 1983. A faint chiming whistle drifts through the Canadian Rockies, and a thin wisp of smoke trails through towering evergreens into the clear blue sky. The chugging song of the pwoerful locomotive grows louder and clearer as she rounds the bend -- her long train of cars obediently following the curve behind her. Steadily slowing, the mighty steam engine gently pulls into the railway station with her golden brass and shining steel glittering in the sun. Colorful crowds and shouting conductors surround the marvelous Iron Horse -- the fastest, and most powerful transportation of the day. Such was the scene from the 1800s when the great steam locomotives of Canada cut through the wilderness and connected Canadian cities and towns. The engine ... Adam Brown, Number "55" depicted on this artwork, was just such a locomotive. She was built in England sometime between 1854 and 1858, and was designed by Alexander Allan, a pioneer in British locomotive design. The great steam dome was covered in golden brass. Althought the Adam Brown was built and designed in England, an American style headlight, pilot, and large smoke stack gave the steam engine a unique personality. Across the Great Western Railway of Canada, the Adam Brown linked Canadian cities and towns ... with all the elegance and glamour of the nineteenth century. Image Size: 14 x 12 in. Overall Size: 19.75 x 17.75 in. Unframed. (B08281)

Dennis Lyall (American, B. 1946) "Centennial Flag" Signed lower left. Original Oil on Canvas. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 33c Centennial Flag Classic Collection Series stamp issued June 14, 2000. On May 10, 1876, the United States celebrated its 100th Anniversary with America's first international exposition. Held on 450 acres in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, the fair displayed more than 30,000 exhibits from 50 nations. Americans reveled in the exotic displays sent by foreign countries -- stuffed crocodiles from Egypt, a model of a pagoda from China and beehives from England. Each of America's 38 states was represented at the fair as well. The exposition included seven major categories -- mining and metallurgy, manufactured products, science and education, fine arts, machinery, agriculture and horticulture. Of all the exhibits, however, machines and inventions were the most popular. Crowds were amazed at the working models of such fascinating inventions as the continuous-web printing press, self-binding reaper, typewriter, telephone, Westinghouse air brake, refrigerator car, Corliss Engine and Thomas Edison's duplex telegraph. The Centennial flag features the popular stars-and-stripes design, with the white stars on the blue canton arranged to display the dates 1776 and 1876. This flag is an unofficial banner commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence and celebrates America's achievements. Image Size: 11.25 x 13 in. Overall Size: 15 x 19.5 in. Unframed.

Dennis Lyall (American, B. 1946) "Nation Celebrates Centennial 1876" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Canvas board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood Commerative Cover for Old Glory's Proudest Moments postmarked on the anniversary July 4, 2002. On May 10, 1876, the United States celebrated its 100th Anniverary at the nation's first international exposition in Philadelphia where more than 30,000 exhibits from 50 nations were displayed. Americans reveled in exotic displays sent by foreign countries such as stuffed crocodiles from Egypt, a model of a pagoda from China, and beehives from England. America's 38 states were also represented at the fair, where the Yankee penchant for invention and industry was expressed in seven major categories: mining and metallurgy, manufactured products, science and education, fine arts, machinery, agriculture and horticulture. Of all the exhibits, machines and inventions were the most popular. Crowds were amazed at working models of such fascinating inventions as the continuous-web printing press, self-binding reaper, typewriter, telephone, Westinghouse air brake, refrigerator car, and Thomas Edison's duplex telegraph. But the Double Corliss Engine was the big hit of the Exposition. Dwarfing fair visitors, this 70-foot tall, 1400-horsepower monolith invented by George Corliss was the largest steam engine in the world and powered all the exhibits in Machinery Hall. Standing on a platform 56 feet across, its two cylinders spun a flywheel 30 feet in diameter and weighing 56 tons. American author William Dean Howells wrote of such phenomena: "In these things of iron and steel the national genius speaks." Image Size: 15 x 12.75 in. Overall Size: 18.5 x 16 in. Unframed.

1996 Nissan 200 SX, 1998 cc. Registration number P713 SRH. Chassis number JN1GBAS14U0010758. Engine number SR20-278357.Japanese cars were of little interest to UK enthusiasts in the '70s and '80s but that changed dramatically in the 1990's with the arrival of a whole slew of turbocharged road rockets like the Toyota Supra, Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi 3000GT which could give even Porsche and Ferrari drivers a fright. Nissan joined the fray with brutish sports models like the Skyline and the 300ZX and the smaller 180SX which immediately won the Car of the Year award when it was launched in Japan in 1989. Marketed as the 200SX in Europe, it used the rear-wheel drive Silvia S13 chassis mated to a 167bhp 1.8 turbo CA18DET engine with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto gearbox. Quick, capable and beautifully balanced, it was also eminently tunable and soon gained cult status on the burgeoning drift scene, power sliding its way around old airfields the length and breadth of the country. In 1994 the 200SX morphed into the longer, wider S14 version, now with a 2.0 engine. SRH was first registered in August 1996 and our vendor purchased it in February 1997, first in his business name and then from 2011 his own. During his ownership it has always been serviced with 15 stamps in the book, the last being at 64,184 miles in August 2017 since when the MOTs have taken the mileage to 65,508 miles. He has recently purchased a new car and this is now surplus to requirements.It has had a new turbo fitted and the engine and gearbox are said to be in very good order, as is the interior which has a CD player fitted.Sold with the V5C, MOT until December 2020, service book and other original books.

2002 Toyota Landcruiser Colorado GX 3.0 TD, 7 seater, 2,982 cc. Registration number PX52 KNV. Chassis number JTEBZ99J100036810. Engine number 1KD0944270.The Colorado is one of the best rivals for a Land Rover Discovery, and much the same size. Like the Disco, it's very strong off-road, with standard high- and low-ratio gears, but pretty handy on Tarmac, too. It rides well most of the time, better even than a Land Rover in certain situations and much better than a Mitsubishi Shogun.Unlike many rivals, it has rack and pinion steering, which gives better feedback. KNV is a 4 owner, full service history example that has now covered 121,000 miles that has only covered 15,000 miles in the last ten years.Originally supplied by Border Toyota who have 7 service stamps, it then was bought by Unipart Williams who have stamped it 10 times. Recent work includes the fitting of a new petrol tank. The MOT history on the DVLA website shows a good solid machine, capable of many more years servic.Sold with the V5C, MOT until February 2021 and original manufacturers books.

1985 Honda Civic CRX, 1488cc. Registration number B484 APU. Chassis number 0100900. Engine number 1201900.The CR-X was manufactured by Honda between 1983 and 1991, being replaced by the CR-X del Sol. A hatchback variant, the first generation had a 1.5-litre four cylinder engine that returned record fuel economy figures. The CRX established the long bonnet/stubby deck look that defined Civic coupes for a decade. More significantly, it suggested that Honda created fun as well as transportation. The car was a sales success and spawned other, sportier cars.APU was purchased new by Mrs McRae of Billericay on the 22nd February 1985 for £6,500 from the Dragon Motor Company of Leigh on Sea, retained for many years it passed to her nephew and has lead a seltered life, in 2006 the MOT was at 40,062 and now it has only risen to 50,000. Serviced in 2015 at 48,136 and MOT'd in March this year at 49,901.Sold with the V5C, MOT until March 2021, a large amount of old tax discs and various other paperwork.

2002 Nissan Micra Tempest, 998cc. Registration number YS52 BCE. Chassis number SJNEAAK11U4252514. Engine number 050072.British-built Micra has 16-valve engines for good performance and reasonable refinement. Its tall body makes good use of interior space. Add in above-average reliability and fuel economy, plus the fact it's nice to drive, and Micra is a top used supermini choice. Revised models from 1998 are safer than the original, have standard power steering and are becoming more affordable.BCE is offered from a deceased estate. Purchased in April 2013, it has service receipts from 2015 at 37, 058 miles, 2016 at 40,253 miles, and 2018 at 41,142 miles. The last MOT expired in March 2019 since when it has been laid up, the mileage is 41,429 at present.When a power pack was put on the battery it started at the first turn of the key and as it had been left with hand brake off the brakes were fine. It was driven onto a trailer for delivery to the auction. Sold with the V5C, MOT history and service records.

2004 Volvo C70 T5GT, 2,319 cc. Registration number YH04 CYT. Chassis number YV1NC62K24J049465. Engine number 3331364.The C70 is a two-door, four-passenger car marketed from 1996 to 2013 across two generations, the first generation (1996-2005) was available as both a coupé (1996-2002)[1] and softtop convertible (1997-2005). The second generation (2006-2013) was available as a retractable hardtop convertible.The front clearly linked to Volvo, while the rest of the body was significantly curvier than anything previously released by the company, it heralded a new design direction that would characterise many future models. Freedom of choice for the customer was important, and there were 17 different paint colours to choose between, along with solid, metallic and pearl finishes. With 40 different interior combinations, with differences in material and colours, the choices were almost endless. It was crucial that the speed matched the appearance. The C70 was therefore launched exclusively with five-cylinder turbo engines. The strongest engine, at 2.3 litres and 240 hp, was shared with the Volvo 850R.CYT was first registered in March 2004 and our vendor, the third owner bought it in October 2010 when the mileage was 79,533 miles and has had it serviced by Riverside Volvo ever since; amongst its list of extras are heated seats and a sat nav system. Also included are a wind deflector and exterior car cover, together with two keys. It is only being sold as the vendor has just bought a dog and needs a more practical car. Averaging less than 3,000 miles per year the mileage now is some 104,000, with full Volvo service history.Sold with the V5C, MOT until June 2021, full MOT history, receipt folder and service book.

1988 Trabant P601K Universal (estate), Registration number, unregistered, NOVA 19E262245 . Chassis number4702475. Engine number TBC. The Trabant 601 (or Trabant P601 series) was a Trabant model produced by VEB Sachsenring in Zwickau, Saxony. It was the third generation of the model, built for the longest production time, from 1963 to 1990. Few cars hold such an iconic place in European history as the humble Trabant, the East German people's car that became a symbol of freedom at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Derided in the west as the very essence of communist inefficiency and incompetence - noisy, smoky, slow and uncomfortable - the car is the subject of more myths and misinformation than almost any other. The body is Duroplast, created by mixing phenolic resin - a by-product of the chemical dying industry - with cotton fibre and heating in a press. Externally, the car was to remain virtually unchanged for 27 years, although there were many changes under the skin, including upgrades to the two stroke engine, braking system, electrics, suspension, dashboard displays and the introduction of electronic ignition. A dashboard fuel gauge was offered as an optional extra from 1984 onwards, drivers previously having to check the levels using a calibrated dipstick that also helped calculate the correct amount of oil to add when filling up. Later two-stroke cars featured a clear plastic tube fitted between the fuel hose and the top of the fuel tank, which allowed the driver to visually check the fuel level without taking the cap off the tank and using the dipstick. This Trabant was built in August 1988 and spent its life in Bulgaria before being brought to the UK in 2017 and being placed in storage. In original condition it is in running order, although the interior could do with a make over. Sold with the Bulgarian ownership title and the NOVA details.

1981 Mercedes Benz R107 280 SL, 2746 cc. Registration number ABM 722A. Chassis number 107 0422011880. Engine number 11099022000274. Mercedes have been producing an SL (Sport Leicht or Sport Lightweight) model since 1954 when the landmark 300SL was unveiled. The similarly styled, but mechanically unrelated, 190 followed in 1955. The second generation SLs began with in 1963. It was distinguished by its lower waistline, big curved screens and a distinctive optional hardtop that earned the model its nickname of 'Pagoda'. The larger, third generation SL (R107) was launched in 1971, the car featured a two-door monocoque body shell with independent suspension all round - double wishbone and coil springs at the front and semi-trailing arms and coil springs at the rear. Braking was by discs all round - ventilated on the front. The 2.8-litre (280SL) appeared in mainland Europe in 1974. The latter became available in the UK from October 1980 and remained in production until 1985. ABM has been in long term ownership since 1989, and was last on the road in January 2006 when it failed its MOT at 153,703 miles, subsequently repaired it passed in the March with 153,735 miles. Stored since, it has recently been brought out and is running but in need of restoration. Sold with the V5C and the desirable hardtop, this will made a worthwhile project for the next owner.

1990 Mercedes Benz W201 190D, 2,497 cc. registration number H344 BBU. Chassis number WDB201 1262F748154. Engine number 60291122017753. From January 1974 to January 1982, Mercedes spent over £600 million researching and developing the W201m subsequently saying it was 'massively over-engineered', and was launched in Germany on 9 December 1982. It was marketed in right-hand drive for the UK market from September 1983. The 190 D was available with three different engines. The 2.0 L inline-four engine was the base engine, a 2.2-litre version, with the same power as the 2.0 L, was introduced in September 1983. The 2.5 L inline-five engine was available in the late 1980s and early 1990s. BBU was first registered in August 1990 to Frank Leak who sold it to his friend Clive Houghton and then Gary McAusland in 2013. In 2014 it moved to Stanley Sargeant. The service book shows Mercedes main dealers in 1993 at 4,927 miles, 1997 at 19,784 miles, 2004 at 28,883 miles and 2008 at 38,052, today the mileage is at some 62,000 which is backed up by it MOT history from 2006 until 2015 at 61,696 when it was put into storage. In 2019 it came out and was MOT'd at 62,410 miles and it will be sold with a new MOT. In overall good condition, these 190D's with this mileage are very rare, most have well over 150,000 on the clock. Sold with the V5C, service book and new MOT.

2007 Range Rover 3.6 TDV8 Vogue, 3628cc. Registration number DK57 FYX. Chassis number SALLMAM237a260360. Engine number ELD111804070219329. Land Rover gave the Range Rover an extensive overhaul for the 2007 model year car, with the Terrain Response off-road optimsation gadget fitted and a cabin overhaul to improve safety, ergonomics, air flow and stowage. But the most significant change is the launch of a twin-turbo 3.6-litre V8 diesel engine, with twin variable geometry turbochargers respond quickly to eliminate lag, delivering hefty low-end torque (295 lb ft is on tap from just 1250rpm) and more top-end power. Peak power is 272bhp, peak torque 472lb ft. Combined fuel consumption is 25.1mpg, which Land Rover vows is easily attainable in real-world driving conditions. The TDV8 replaces the ancient, BMW-sourced TD6. To compare them, the Land Rover propaganda team dished out more percentages than a maths GCSE course. The V8 has 54 percent more power, 64 percent more torque, it's 32 percent quicker from 0 to 62mph and it's 75 percent quieter. This Stornaway Grey with Ebony leather interior example is "fully loaded" with such luxuries as a Harmon Kardon Logic 7 sound system, TV, Venture Cam, Auxiliary Heating (you can prewarm the car on a cold day from the comfort of your home!), heated seats and steering wheel. As was common at the time this Vogue was ordered in Holland and bought into this country for its first owner, Mr Ord of County Durham who bought it from Stuart Garages of Prenton on the 19th October 2007 at a cost of £53,850. Serviced by Team Valley Land Rover at 12,001 miles and 19,829 miles. Our vendor bought it in October 2009 at 24,649 miles from Stratstone of Doncaster for £39,981. The service book has been fully filled in up to the last service at 129,429 miles in January 2018, shortly thereafter it has been stored due to his ill health. Recent work on it includes front and rear brake discs, pads and pipes, starter motor, battery, anti rollbar links and another service. Sold with the V5C, new MOT, a vast history folder with receipts, service books, it is said to be "on the button".

1994 BMW 325i, E36, 2494 cc. Registration number L846 DAT. Chassis number WBABJ52-20EA10516. Engine number 34170727. If ever a car was granted an easy run at a target, the E36 BMW 3 Series Convertible was it. Whilst the saloon had to contend with the Mercedes C-Class and the Audi A4, the Convertible version had no C-Class convertible nor topless A4 Convertible to interrupt its smooth ride to big profits. Although the E36 or third generation BMW 3 Series first arrived on British shores in the early Spring of 1991, the stylish convertible versions didn't put in an appearance until some three years later. Three engines were initially offered, the four-cylinder 318i and six-cylinder 320i and 325i derivatives. The 316i and diesel models were never available with the E36 convertible body shape. A couple of months later the 286bhp M3 Convertible was launched, a car that many felt never warranted the M badge, being far softer in focus than its boxily aggressive E30 predecessor. The 3 Series Convertible was the default choice if you needed German quality, four seats and a soft top. Few compromises were made in the development of the 3-Series convertible. The electric hood still stands comparison with some of the better hoods made today, there's still enough legroom for four full grown adults and the interior design has hardly dated at all. DAT, finished in Mauritius blue with a special order crimson leather interior, has led a pampered life, Purchased on 14th March 1994 by Mr Howe, who owned a chain of chemists in Hull, from Paragon of Hull with cherished number 8888 BT. It was serviced by Paragon at 6,774 miles, Nov 1994, 15,034 Jan 1996, and 21,055 Mar 1997. Purchased by Mrs Turner from Paragon in July 98 and serviced at 29,413 miles, 36,861 Apr 1999, 48,095 in Nov 1999, 52,328 May 2000. The registration number was CCT 667 at this time. Howe then bought it back from Paragon, serviced June 2000 at 53,388 miles and July 2003 at 56,185 miles by J.C. Technical of Cranswick, Beverley. MOT history 2007 at 56,763 when the rear brake pipes were replaced, 2008 at 56,786, 2009 at 56,826, 2010 at 56,860, 2011 at 56,910, 2012 at 56,913, 2013 at 57,293, 2014 at 57,316, 2015 at 57,368, 2016 at 57,374, 2017 at 57,385, 2019 at 57,397 2020 at 58,795. Mr Howe then passed away and it was transferred to his daughter who sold it to the current vendor in July 2019. The current mileage is 59,133 miles. Sold with the V5C, new MOT, large history folder, original booklets and the original hardtop.

1983 Mercedes Benz 380 SL R107, 3839cc. Registration number TDA 404Y. Chassis number 107 04522024643. Engine number 1169622015004. In 1980, Mercedes-Benz revamped its SL lineup of sporting luxury convertibles with the introduction of the 380SL. The 380 was a further development of the R107 chassis, which was first used in 1972 by the 350SL, and then later by the 450SL. Like its forebears the 380SL was a heady mix of V-8 power, refined luxury, and sporty underpinnings, and it was as a very popular model during its production run. The 380SL, so-named for its 3.8-litre V-8, had a smaller engine than the 450SL and was consequently 120 pounds lighter. The new engine was designed with emissions controls in mind while the 450SL's engine was not, which meant that the two engines were relatively equal in terms of power (155 hp in the 380SL vs. 160 hp in the 450SL) despite the difference in their displacements. Performance was similar for the two cars, as was fuel economy. Outside of the engine, the 380SL also received a new four-speed automatic transmission, which further enhanced distance driving. Suspension, meanwhile, continued to be the same fully independent setup as in the earlier cars, and four-wheel disc braking remained standard. The standard transmission provided a top speed of 130mph and a very respectable 0-62mph in 8.8 seconds. As with the previous generations of SLs, the vehicle came as an open roadster with a removable hardtop roof. The R107 body shape went on to become one of the longest running styles from Mercedes-Benz, remaining in production until 1989 with some 13 variants during the production run. The 380SL ended production in 1985, at which point it was replaced by the 560SL. TDA was first registered on the 12th May 1983 in thistle green metallic with green sports check cloth interior by the Nayland Motor Company of West Glamorgan to Mr Curtis for his wife. It has optional extras such as cruise control and rear seats. Brought up to Yorkshire it then was serviced by H. Nightingales of Beeford as per the recommended intervals until 1995 (13 stamps in the service book), it also had a cherished number plate change to SXC100. In 1995 it was sold to Ron Simpson who had it serviced by S.M. Autocare of Pickering at 86,326, 92,085 and 98,432 miles. In 2003 it was bought by Arthur Paice who took the cherished plate of it and it reverted to the original TDA 404Y. He sold it to a Mr Booth in July 2005 with a mileage of 106,856 at that years MOT. Since then it has been serviced and MOT'd by Brain Kitt Motors of Driffield and led a pampered life. Over the years it has seen little use and often sorned, especially as ill health restricted him using it; the MOT in May 2019 was at 111,959 miles only the 3 added since the year before (the trip to the MOT station). Sold in 2019 to its current owner and our vendor who has rarely used it. TDA is a rare example of a full service history car that has spent its life around the Driffield area and can be highly recommended to the next custodian. Sold with the V5C, MOT until May 2020, large history folder, removable hard top, service book, owners manual; it will be driven to the auction.

1947 Triumph 1800 Roadster, 1776 cc. Registration number WXG 903 (non transferable). Chassis number TRD 1170. Engine number TRD 1170. The 1800 Roadster was designed in the closing days of World War II. Triumph had been bought by the Standard Motor Company in 1944, and the managing director of Standard, Sir John Black, wanted a sports car to take on Jaguar, who had used Standard engines in the pre-war period. After getting Black's approval for the general shape, Frank Callaby worked with Arthur Ballard to design the details of the body. Early post-war steel shortages meant that the body was built from aluminium, using rubber press tools that had been used making panels for the largely wooden bodied Mosquito bomber that had been built by Standard during the war. The engine was a version of Standard's 1.5-litre, four-cylinder side-valve design that had been converted to overhead valves by Harry Weslake and built by Standard exclusively for SS-Jaguar before World War II. The Triumph version differed from the Jaguar version in having a 6.7:1 compression ratio instead of the Jaguar's 7.6:1 and a downdraught Solex carburettor instead of the Jaguar's side-draught SU. A four-speed gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios was used. The tubular steel chassis was a short-wheelbase version of the 1800 saloon, featuring transverse leaf sprung independent suspension at the front and a live axle with semi-elliptic springs at the rear. The rear track was wider than the front by some 4 inches. Brakes were hydraulic. WXG was originally registered on the 27th September 1947 as AEE 808 and owned by Antony Richards of Shepton Mallet; in January 1962 he sold it to Antony Holmes and then Gerald Pavey in the May, by 1966 it was with Maurice and Sheila Tarrant of Bournemouth and in use until at least 1970 when it was MOT'd at 45 miles. By 1978 it was with its long term owner, Dr Evans of Axminster as he was in correspondence with the Dept of Transport then. There is a V5 on file with this registration number from 1995. Between 1984 and 1995 he had the car fully restored and painted in gunmetal grey and fitted with blue Connolly Hide, blue Mohair hood and blue 100% wool carpets by Axminster Upholstery at a cost of £2,660, a stainless steel exhaust was also fitted. MOT history from 2006 until 2012 shows the mileage rising from 1,932 to 12,226 when it was taken off the road. In 2015 he was issued the new registration number WXG by DVLA for an unknown reason and the MOT mileage had dropped to 1,238 miles, today it is at 1,752 miles. Purchased in November 2018 from Charterhouse of Sherbourne Auctioneers at the Bristol Classic Car show, it has had summer use and our vendor has decided sell due to a change of circumstances. One of only 2501 1800's built between 1946 and 1947, this older restoration runs well and the Axminster interior has stood the test of time very well. Further detailing will make this a wonderful period machine. Sold with the V5C, V5, R.F.60, vast history folder and the owners handbook

2000 Mini Cooper, 1275 cc. Registration number W943 PAG. Chassis number SAXXNNAZEYD182786. Engine number 12A2LK70394580. Having devised the iconic original back in the early 1960s, John Cooper sold his own modified Minis under the 'Mini Cooper' name from the mid-1980s, before Rover's acquisition of the rights to the name made it possible to officially re-launch the model in September 1990. The new Mini Cooper was based on the Mini 30, the most luxuriously equipped Limited Edition Mini to date, but fitted with the 1,275cc engine rather than the 30's 998cc unit. What would turn out to be the final Mini version - the Mark 7 - arrived in 1996. Changes included twin-point fuel injection, higher final drive gearing, driver's airbag, side impact beams, additional sound insulation, improved front seats, front-mounted radiator and a 'Sportpack' option. By the time production ceased in 2000, a total of well over 5 million Minis of all types had been produced, making it the best selling British car of all time. Dating from the final year of the Mini's production in its original form, this PAG is a rare one owner from new example that has only covered some 59,000 miles in its life. Purchased by Mrs Mulligan on the 25th May of 2000 from Welptons of Hull for £7,965 in Solar Red; it had been pre registered from the 8th of March. Serviced by them the next year at 5,325 miles and the following at 11,421 miles. From then on it has been looked after by a local garage to her. In it received a front end rebuild with new wings, front panel and scuttle, see images on file and in July 2019 a new OSF floor pan, front panel and repaint of the wings at a cost of over £2,000. Sold with the V5C, MOT until March 2012, MOT history confirming the mileage, original Rover manuals and the history folder. This Mini is a much loved example in good order.

2000 Mini Cooper Sportspack, 1275cc. Registration number W188 PGA. Chassis number SAXXNNAZEYD181683. Engine number 12A2LK70393148Having devised the iconic original back in the early 1960s, John Cooper sold his own modified Minis under the 'Mini Cooper' name from the mid-1980s, before Rover's acquisition of the rights to the name made it possible to officially re-launch the model in September 1990. The new Mini Cooper was based on the Mini 30, the most luxuriously equipped Limited Edition Mini to date, but fitted with the 1,275cc engine rather than the 30's 998cc unit. What would turn out to be the final Mini version - the Mark 7 - arrived in 1996. Changes included twin-point fuel injection, higher final drive gearing, driver's airbag, side impact beams, additional sound insulation, improved front seats, front-mounted radiator and a 'Sportpack' option. By the time production ceased in 2000, a total of well over 5 million Minis of all types had been produced, making it the best selling British car of all time.Dating from the final year of the Mini's production in its original form, PGA is a rare one owner from new example that has only covered some 21,000 miles in its life. Purchased on the 1st March 2000 by Mr A Crawford of Bathgate in Scotland, he had it serviced at 2,691 miles and put it into his garage in August 2001 when ill health forced him to give up driving. It stayed there until his son inherited it, his intention was to recommission it but this never happened and it has recently been removed from the garage. Found to be in remarkable condition by our vendor, the original extended warranty and paperwork was in the car but the keys and V5C were missing. He has applied for a new V5C which hopefully will be with us by the time of the auction. He has turned the engine over, once, to check that it is free but not attempted to start it up, examination of the underside shows the subframes appear sound as is the body, with minimal localised rust bubbles. The interior is in very good condition.Sold with the V5C, (subject to DVLA) and the aforementioned paperwork, this Cooper offers a rare chance to own a one owner car that has covered only some 21,000 miles and is totally original.

1986 Honda XBR 500, 498 cc. Registration number C773 ALJ. Frame number PC15 710092. Engine number PC15 710092.The XBR 500 was launched by Honda in 1985 in response to the Yamaha SR500. It is powered by a single-cylinder four-valve engine with the valves arranged radially (the Radial Four Valve Combustion Chamber, or RFVC). Displacing 498 cc and producing 44 hp, the engine, which originated from the Honda XR series off-road models, features a dry-sump, the oil being stored in a separate oil tank below the seat. The steel-braided hoses connecting the oil tank to the engine (clearly visible at the right-hand side of the motorcycle) became a strong visual element.The two exhaust valves enabled the motorcycle to be fitted with two separate silencers. The motorcycle had both an electric start and a kick start which linked to an automatic decompression valve to reduce compression during engine start up. The fuel-efficient engine combined with the large fuel tank capacity provided the bike with a long range between refuelling.The early XBR500 was fitted with Comstar wheels and tubeless tyres. Later models were provided with spoked wheels and tubed tyres. A removable seat cover was also fitted in order to simulate a cafe-racer look. Honda subsequently released a café racer version of the XBR500, the Honda GB500 TT.ALJ was first registered on the 1st May 1986 and by December 1986 it was with our vendors brother, he sold it to him in May 1993 to replace an Ariel Huntmaster that he had restored and sold on. Used occasionally it was last used on the road in 2007 although three years ago a new battery was put on it and it started with ease. The current mileage of 17,216 is presumed to be correct.Sold with the V5C and two keys.

Stealth TX80S, 80 cc. Registration number not registered. Frame number MFYCELA503081066. Engine number not found.The Stealth is a childs off road style machine with a 4 speed semi-auto gearbox (automatic clutch) with a four stroke engine. When delivered to the saleroom it fired up with ease and is being sold as the child who used it has moved on to bigger models.There is no paperwork with this lot.

2006 Suzuki GZ125 Maurauder, 124 cc. Registration number FP06 KZE. Frame number UTTAP171200102020. Engine number 9*92/62*0102.The Marauder works well and makes a decent learner machine and was produced between 1998 and 2011. It's got more presence than the budget custom style 125s like Yamaha's SR125 but it's usefully cheaper than the twin cylinder alternatives which cost about a thousand pounds more when new. The low seat height makes it an easy bike to control, especially at low speed. Wide bars help more and the Suzuki is pretty handy in town as a result. The air cooled, two valve, four stroke, single cylinder - engine's don't get much simpler. It only makes 12bhp - three less than UK learner law permits, but it is quite light so it's not too slow off the line plus a single makes better low rev torque than a twin. KZE has had a series of learner owners who have all traded it when when they have passed their test. The current owner passed his in 2016 and then the machine was laid up, recently it has been recommissioned, with new front discs and a new MOT.Sold with the V5C and a new MOT.

2010 Yamaha YBR125 Custom, 124cc. Registration number WV60 OHD. Frame number LBPRE071000131793. Engine number E3B3E0012053.The Yamaha YBR125 is a popular learner friendly naked bike and is powered by an air-cooled 124 cc single cylinder four stroke engine, producing 10 bhp at 7,800 rpm and maximum torque at 6,000 rpm.Features include a steel tubular frame and swingarm, dual rear shocks with adjustable pre-load, electric and kick starters and a 5 speed gearbox. The big draw of the YBR125 is the relatively cheap price when new, combined with the quality you would expect from Yamaha but you also get easy DIY maintenance and reliability thrown in.OHD was owned by Heather Taylor and serviced in September 2019 at 17,141 miles, she sold it to our vendor as a learner bike. The MOT history starts in 2013 at 8,255, rising over the years to its current 19,282 miles. Habving passed his test it is no longer required.Sold with the V5C, MOT until September 2020 and the receipt for the service. This machine will make an ideal learner bike for the next owner.

1956 Patria WKC moped, 47cc. Registration number 443 UYN (non transferrable). Frame number 112984. Engine number 2121042. WKC of Solingen in Germany adopted the Patria emblem in 1898 to badge the company's bicycle products ;the first Patria motor cycles designed by Johannes Rössig appeared in 1925, fitted with Roconova 248cc and 348cc ohc single-cylinder engines, but these models were discontinued in 1927. In 1931, production of bicycles was joined by a range of autocycles with Sachs 74cc two-stroke, 2-speed engines, and available in a choice of three frame versions, gent's, lady's, or heavy-duty trade carrier. Post WWII the company once again turned to motor cycles as alternative products from 1949. The company folded in late 1952 and in 1955 the brand re-appeared on a range of mopeds, with optional 1-gear engine from Zündapp, or 2-gear motors from Jlo or Sachs. For the 1956 season, the Moped was extensively restyled with the addition of fashionable port-holed side panels, valanced mudguards, and a pressed-steel, band suspended leading link fork set. From June until October it is recorded that Currys of Croydon imported a batch for sale, the only time they we offered for sale in the UK. UYN was sold by Currys of Croydon in 1956 as RBY 311, last taxed in December 1962 it then appears to have been laid up reappearing when sold by Jim Grant of Sevenoaks in 2015 without any paperwork. The next owner registered it with DVLA after obtaining a dating certificate from the East Anglian Cyclemotor Club but they would not reissue the original number, hence 443 UYN. In December 2016 our vendor purchased it and recommissioned it with new tyres and a service. Hardly used since he is now moving to a property with less storage. Sold with the V5C, dating certificate, copy of the 1962 tax disc and sundry correspondence. Minimal recommissioning should see this rare machine, with wonderful patina on the roads.

2003 Honda ANF 125, 125cc. Registration number CU03 GYF. Frame number MLJHC33A035007990. Engine number JC33E5007990. The Honda Wave is a series of motorcycles manufactured by Honda that debuted in 1995 with an underbone design, having separate cosmetic plastic body panels over a structural steel tube chassis. The Wave series succeeded the Super Cub which used pressed steel frame acting as both the structural chassis and cosmetic bodywork. The Wave is available with three displacements - 100 cc, 110 cc and 125 cc. The 100 and 110 cc models' engine is physically similar size to the Cub engine, sharing mountings, while the 125 cc models use a larger engine, incompatible with the Cub and 100/110 mountings. GYF was first registered to a Doc Mendis of Swansea in May 2003, presumably used for his commute its mileage had increased to 2,139 mile when its MOT in 2006 was undertaken, it then was sparingly used, the mileage rising to 3,900 in 2015 when it was put into storage. Our client bought it in May 2018 with a mileage of 3,949 and he has SORNed it since. Sold with the original V5, current V5C, MOT history, service and owners manuals it should require only light recommissioning to pass its next MOT.

1992 Piaggio Vespa PK100xl, 96 cc. Registration number K938 AWK. Frame number V9X2T - 002172. Engine number V9X1M - 070446. Along with the rival Lambretta, the Piaggio-built Vespa mobilised an entire generation of Italians in the immediately post-war years, the hitherto humble scooter going on to become part of British youth culture in the 1960s as favourite transport of the fashion-conscious 'Mods'. Douglas built the Vespa under licence in the UK between 1951 and 1963, continuing to import the machine from Italy thereafter. Since its introduction, countless different versions have come and gone yet the Vespa of today remains recognisably related to the first one made more than 60 years ago. This model was made between 1986 and 1990, 1092 were produced with only 206 in 1990, the serial numbers ended at 2197 making this one of the last built. This example was restored by a previous owner in this Two Tone Mod scheme, our vendor brought it North when he moved from the West Country in 2018, unused since it will require light recommissioning before use. Sold with the V5C, it is currently on SORN.

1981 Lambretta Vijay Super GP150, 149cc. Registration number OEF 542W. Frame number 22022209530. Engine number 306604. Automobile Products of India (API) began assembling Innocenti-built Lambretta scooters in India after independence in the 1950's beginning with 48 cc, Ld model, Li 1st series. They eventually acquired a licence to build the Li150 Series 2 model, which was sold under the Lambretta name until about 1976 and later on changed the name to Lamby for legal reasons. API also built the trademark model [API-175] three-wheeler which was based on Innocenti's Lambretta. In 1972, Scooters India Ltd. (SIL) a state-run enterprise based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, bought the entire Lambretta manufacturing and trademark rights. Former Innocenti employees were used to set up an Indian factory as all the manuals and machinery instructions were in Italian. The first scooter built was the Vijay Delux/DL, which was badged the Lambretta GP150 in export markets. This was later enhanced to become the Vijay Super. Further improvements were made in the final years of production by incorporating a contemporary Japanese CDI unit and an advanced front suspension. SIL also distributed complete knock downs that were assembled in different parts of India and sold as the Allwyn Pusphak, Falcon, and Kesri. These were of a lower quality than the SIL-produced models and sometimes incorporated significant styling changes. SIL production seems to have peaked during the financial year 1980-81, with around 35,000 scooters being built. However, by 1987 this had dropped to around 4,500 units with production finally ceasing in 1997. OEF appears to have been imported in 2017 and bought by our vendor who had it fully restored by Patron Racing of Doncaster in the colour that a friend of his had back in the day. It was MOT'd at 2 miles, in 2018 it had risen to 7 miles and was again the same when MOT'd in 2019, the same as it now is. Sold with the V5C, MOT history, dating certificate and various other paperwork. Due to the lack of use post restoration a running in period would be advisable when taken on the road. Offered for sale as our vendor is moving to a smaller property without the storage for his collection, Spicers can highly recommend this machine

1969 Lambretta Jet 200, 200cc (see text). Registration number MDM 367G. Frame number SX200 - 557609. Engine number SX200 - 563570. The history of Lambretta in Spain began in 1952 when a group of prominent Basque businessmen created "Lambretta Locomociones SA". A factory was built in Eiber (Northern Spain) in 1953 and proper production began in earnest in 1954, production finally ceased 35 years later in 1989. As wealth increased in western Europe in the late 1960s, the demand for motor scooters fell as the small car became affordable to more people and Lambretta sales started to decline, as did the financial status of parent company Innocenti. British Leyland took advantage of Innocenti's financial difficulties and their production and engineering expertise contracting them to produce cars under licence. The company was eventually sold to BLMC. Unfortunately, lack of foresight had caused BLMC to buy a fashion trend that was ending rapidly, motor-scooter sales declined sharply, and Innocenti finally closed shop in 1972 and production was taken over by the Indian company API. 1966 saw the introduction of the first 200cc model in Spain, the JET 200. The very early models are identical to an Italian SX200 except for the typical "Li" metal front mudguard and horncasting. The engine was similar in design and based around that of the Innocenti SX 200. Using the same top end configuration and carburettor, bhp would have been on a similar scale. The cylinder and piston were very well made and have proved reliable and hard wearing for many thousands of miles. The crankshaft likewise was well made but still only used the SX style flywheel taper and would have been much better had it been upgraded to the GP specification. Using a Spanish made Dellorto SH2O carburettor fuel consumption remained good and with a slightly larger fuel tank range was slightly improved. The transmission and gearbox were also identical to the SX 200 and used the same set of gear ratios. MDM was first registered with DVLA in January 2012 and is recorded as 125cc instead of the 200cc it is (as is often found on scooter V5C's). Also of note is that the Spanish frame number SX200 557609 is for c.1974 and is a mark 3 version. It has had a recent engine rebuild, with a GP200 Mazzuuchelgi standard crank Mahle pistons, all bearings and seals have been replaced and a new 22ML carb fitted, a new 12v electrical system, new 42ML exhaust. Sold with the V5C and a breakdown of the engine rebuild. The scooter started easily when delivered and has been ridden by a member of a our staff with no issues.

1973 Honda SS50, 49cc. Registration number UXF 95M (not recorded with DVLA, see text). Frame number SS50Z 216993. Engine number TBC.The first sports derivative of Honda's classic C100 Super Cub 'step-thru', the C110 Sports Cub, appeared in October 1960. This was a proper small motorcycle, with spine frame and a more powerful version of the C100 motor. Larger-capacity models soon followed and in 1964 an overhead-camshaft version of the engine was introduced on the CS90 sports, with 50cc and 65cc derivatives arriving in 1965. An even more sporting tiddler - the SS50 - arrived for 1967 equipped with a more powerful version of the OHC engine producing 6.0bhp at 11,000rpm and coupled to a five-speed gearbox. During the mid-1970s the model was offered on the UK market in 'Sixteener Special' guise equipped with four-speed gearbox and pedals, thereby qualifying as a moped, and continued in production to the end of 1977.UFX was purchased in 1973 at the height of the fuel crisis as a cheap way to get to work, when fuel prices came down is was laid up in August 1975 with 2,522 miles on the clock. It remained in his home, always with the intention of getting in on the road. Several years ago his son bought him a replacement tank as the original had rotted through and when he passed on it became his sons. He was not interested in it so passed it on to our vendor.In running order, although the fuel tap leaks, this is a very original machine (apart from the tank) that now awaits its next custodian.There is no paperwork with this lot apart from the old tax disc.

1998 Honda CB 500, 499 cc. Registration number S865 JNW. Frame number ZDCPC32A0WF204329. Engine number PC26E2306510. Honda CB500 were produced from 1993 until 2003, because of their low cost, reliability, and good handling they were popular with commuters, and Motorcycle couriers. They were also raced in the U. K. in the Honda CB500 Cup (changed its name in 2009 to the Thundersport 500 when Suzuki GS500 and Kawasaki ER-5 were included). According to Honda engineers, the 499 cc parallel twin DOHC engine was designed to last for 190,000 miles. One motorcycle was tested by Moto Revue from 1993 through 1996. Dismantled at 31,000 miles, the engine was in perfect condition. At 62,000 miles only the cam chain and the pistons were replaced, although, in the tester's opinion, it could have run with the original parts for longer with no problems. JNW was owned by Dennis Lumsdon from 2004 and rode it until 2007 when at 37,982 it was stored. In 2016 he made into this cafe racer it now is with hand built tank, side panels, seat, foot pegs, exhaust pipes and silencers. He changed the rear wheel and steering head bearings, clip ons and fully serviced it. MOT'd in 2016, 17 and 18 our vendor purchased it in April 2018 when at 43,151 miles, he has hardly used it. Sold with the V5C and details of the changes made.

1978 Suzuki 250 X7, 249cc. registration number KNP 8T. Frame number 500201. Engine number GT2502 101185. Suzuki's GT250 X7 is the ultimate expression of the air-cooled 250 sports bike. Launched in 1978 it instantly became the fastest 250 on the streets. Motorcycle Mechanics' jockey-like test rider Brian Crichton - lying flat on the tank - squeezed 99.5mph out of the first test bike to reach our shores. Removing the mirrors yielded an extra 1mph, making the X7 the first genuine 100mph 250 in the UK. Mechanically, it was not a radical departure from the late '60s T250 Super Six. The secret of the X7's speed is not a huge leap forward in engine technology, but rather a crash diet. At only 128kg, the X7 is a staggering 18kg less than the GT250B and C models it replaced, and 23.5kg lighter than Yamaha's air-cooled RD250. Adopting a single downtube frame over the older GT's twin downtube layout shaved almost 1.5kg from the X7's chassis, and its ultra-compact engine weighs 7.3kg less than the 'old' GT250B/C mill. The X7's combination of power and light weight worked brilliantly and the bike was virtually the same from 1978 until it made way for the RG250 Gamma in 1983. In five years all that changed were its colours and graphics, and a switch to rectangular indicators and a one-piece clock housing in 1980. KNP had been well restored by a previous owner who stripped the engine, overhauled the crank and fitted new pistons, rings, small ends, bearings and seals, the frame was stripped and powder coated, with new bearings, the forks were rebuilt, carb overhauled, new cables, and electrics including a Rexspeed CDI unit, all the bodywork was resprayed, a new seat fitted as well as tyres and battery. Then it was set up on a rolling road for the Higgspeed exhaust system. Our vendor purchased it in December 2018 but there was a slight oil leak from the gearbox so he rebuild it with new seal, apart from that little has been done with apart from the occasional ride out. MOT's from 1995 at 20,397 and 1996 at 21,633 together with the 2017 one at 27,747, confirm its mileage; today it is 27,775. Sold with the V5C and old MOTS, the bike started instantly when the cataloguer viewed it and produced the video.

1975 Suzuki GT185 M, 184 cc. Registration number JOX 15P. Frame number 40273. Engine number 40411. In 1973, Suzuki introduced the GT185 twin-cylinder model equipped with Ram Air cooling, drum brakes front and rear and a combination electric starter/generator setup - marketed in North America as the "Adventurer". For model year 1974, the GT185 gained a single-disc front brake to rationalize it with the other GT models. It then remained basically unchanged, except for colour and trim items (which included a tail fairing in the 1977 'B' model and cast wheels in the final year 1978 'EC' model), through to the end of production with the 1978 MY. In some markets the GT185 became the RG185 and was sold with different trim. The 1974 model had a fatal engine flaw that caused steel powder and eventually half of the transmission oil dipstick to drop into the transmission. The rubber stopper for the transmission oil fill hole allowed the dip stick to vibrate enough to contact the primary drive gear. If not caught within '300 miles from new, the bearings in the transmission would be ruined. JOX had been fully restored before our vendor bought it in May 2018, although the rear lamp, front indicators and alloy wheels are from a later model. The MOT history goes back to 2009 at 29,860, 2010 at 30,125, 2014 at 30,314 and 2018 at 30,344; today it is at 30,670. Sold with the V5C, MOT history and two hand books.

1978 Honda CB400F2, 408cc. Registration number PKC 881S. Frame number CB400F2-1088487. Engine number CB400F-E-1084345. Now regarded as one of the classics of the 1970s, the Honda 400 Four first appeared in 1974. Described as 'the poor boy's muscle bike', its combination of a four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine in a 250-sized package endowed it a performance better than many 500s. With a stylish four-into-one exhaust, six gears and rear-set footrests, it was every boy-racer's dream and a huge commercial success. Comparing it to the opposition, Bike magazine reckoned the CB400 'represents a brilliantly engineered concept. It retains its appeal on several fronts: it's a four-stroke, and an awful lot of people are biased towards four-strokes; it's as quick as the two-strokes, yet on average road use will give considerably better fuel consumption; its handling is noticeably better than the two-strokes; and who can dispute that it's easily the best sounding 400?' PKC had an unknown history until 2017 when Robert Knight acquired it and began its restoration, quickly moving it on to our vendor who has fully restored it, including powder coating the frame and a repaint by Dream Machine of Nottingham, the engine has been fully overhauled and all running gear has as well,most of the parts have come from David Silver. Retaining its original mileage of some 46,000 miles these machine has hardly seen the road since completion. Offered for sale as our vendor is moving to a smaller property without the storage for his collection. Sold with the V5C, receipts for parts and works undertaken, Spicers can highly recommend this machine.
