Kay Petre signed Great Names in Motor Racing cover with V12 Delage Brooklands 1935 illustration. Kathleen Coad Kay Petre (née Defries; 10 May 1903 - 10 August 1994) was an early motor racing star. She was born in York, Ontario, now part of Toronto. Petre was a star at the English Brooklands track, and the exploits of this 4' 10 lady caused a media sensation at the time. The abiding image of Petre is a tiny woman seated in a huge 10.5 litre V12 Delage. This was the car in which she battled for the Women's Outer Circuit Record at Brooklands with Gwenda Stewart. Petre gained the upper hand on 26 October 1934 with a 129.58 mph lap, but in August 1935 Stewart fought back with a faster lap. A determined Petre took her record back the same day with a 134.75 mph pass but Stewart, driving the Derby-Miller, had the last laugh three days later at 135.95 mph. At Brooklands: Kay Petre got three lap records, her first two in 1934, first in a Bugatti at 124 mph then in a Delage at 129.58 mph. In 1935 she used the Delage to achieve 134.75. Although she is always associated with the Delage, Petre started racing in a Wolseley Hornet Special bought for her by her husband. She also raced an Invicta and a Bugatti in which she won a handicap race in 1935. However, she was most successful in a series of Rileys. She was ninth in the Mountain Grand Prix at Brooklands in a Riley 1.5 in 1934, against tough opposition. Her first visit to Le Mans was also that year. She and Dorothy Champney finished 13th, driving a Riley Ulster Imp. The Riley connection continued next year, but Petre and Elsie Bill Wisdom failed to finish with a blown engine. Between 1934 and 1936, Petre was a regular at all the big British races like the Brooklands 500 Miles and Double Twelve Hours, plus sports car races at Donington Park and Crystal Palace. She partnered some big names, such as Dudley Benjafield and Prince Bira of Siam. She also drove in rallies and was an accomplished hillclimb driver, claiming the Ladies' Record at Shelsley Walsh twice. In 1937 Petre travelled to South Africa for the Grand Prix motor racing season with her Riley. Here she befriended Bernd Rosemeyer, who was racing for Auto Union. Competing against him and other top drivers of the day, she drove in three Grands Prix, scoring a sixth place in the Grosvenor GP at Cape Town, but failing to finish the others. In September 1937, she went to France to race a Grasshopper Austin in the Paris to Nice rally. She was driving for the works Austin team at Brooklands in September 1937 when her career was ended by a terrible accident. During practice for the 500 Kilometre race, Reg Parnell misjudged an overtaking move, lost speed, slid down the banking and hit her Austin Seven from behind. She crashed badly and was seriously injured. She never raced competitively again. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Roy Salvadori signed Great Names in Motor Racing cover with Aston Martin Italian Grand Prix 1959 illustration. Roy Francesco Salvadori (12 May 1922 - 3 June 2012) was a British racing driver and team manager. He was born in Dovercourt, Essex, to parents of Italian descent. He graduated to Formula One by 1952 and competed regularly until 1962 for a succession of teams including Cooper, Vanwall, BRM, Aston Martin and Connaught. Also, a competitor in other formulae, he won the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans in an Aston Martin with co-driver Carroll Shelby. In 47 starts he achieved two F1 Championship podium finishes: third place at the 1958 British Grand Prix and second place at that year's German Grand Prix, and won non-championship races in Australia, New Zealand and England. In 1961 he was lying second in the United States Grand Prix when his Cooper's engine failed. At the end of 1962 he retired from F1 and stopped racing altogether a couple of years later to concentrate on the motor trade. He returned to the sport in 1966 to manage the Cooper-Maserati squad for two seasons, and eventually retired to Monaco. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

TASO Mathieson signed Great Names in Motor Racing cover with Maserati 8c France 1946 illustration. Taso' Mathieson started racing in 1930, when he entered a race at Brooklands restricted to Lagondas. He established his first victory during an Easter Bank-Holiday BARC Open Meeting on 28 March 1932, driving a supercharged Officine Meccaniche. Over the next two years, he won three races in his Bugatti and broke the lap record for 2-litre cars at Snaefell Mountain Course on the Isle of Man, with an average speed of 72.15 mph (116.11 km/h). A 1936 Bugatti Type 57 like Mathieson used in 1938. Because of health problems, Mathieson was unable to enter any races from 1934 to 1937, so his Bugatti was driven a few times by Chris Staniland. In 1938 and 1939 he entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but both times retired before the finish. Mathieson was one of the first, if not the first, Briton to race again in Continental Europe after World War II, racing an ex-Henry Birkin 3-litre Maserati in 1946. On 30 May, he raced in the Coupe de la Resistance and retired with an oil leak. He entered the Grand Prix des Frontières on 9 June, but instead raced at the René le Bègue Cup held on the same day, finishing fifth. On 16 June, he attended the Belgian Grand Prix in Brussels, but did not start. He placed sixth in the Roussillon Grand Prix on 30 June, and on 28 July he raced in the Nantes Grand Prix, retiring with engine troubles. Mathieson entered an ERA E-Type with Leslie Johnson as driver, for 1949 Richmond Trophy, Jersey Road Race and British Empire Trophy, as well as the 1950 British Grand Prix. Some sources attribute these as official ERA entries because Johnson had purchased the car manufacturer three years before. Mathieson bought a 2-litre Frazer Nash Le Mans in which he scored a class victory in the 1950 24 Hours of Le Mans together with Richard Dickie Stoop. He continued racing until 1955, mostly entering Grands Prix in France. When he was injured in a traffic or racing accident, he was forced to retire. After 25 years of racing, Mathieson concentrated on his writing and his collection of photographs, together with his wife Mila Parély, a French actress he had married in 1947. He wrote various authoritative books, including Grand Prix Racing 1906-1914, and wrote several articles in the French magazine Le Fanauto in 1979 and 1980. Good condition.

1904 Swift 7hp Two-Seater Registration no. H 51 Chassis no. 182 Engine no. 2893•Early example from a quality make•Present family ownership since 1931•Successfully completed 57 London-Brighton Runs•Trailer included (buyer to collect)Footnotes:Coventry-based bicycle maker Swift turned to motor manufacture at the turn of the century with a single-cylinder voiturette powered by a De Dion-style MMC engine, progressing to a 10hp twin-cylinder light car, entirely of its own design, in 1904. Both larger and smaller models were made at this time using a variety of engine types but the 10hp twin was Swift's most popular offering. The twin was replaced by an 1,100cc four-cylinder 10hp model in 1914, and this was revived after WWI and periodically improved and up-dated throughout the 1920s. Swift continued to concentrate on the manufacture of small family cars, and as the firm made almost all its own parts these were invariably of higher-than-average quality. Sadly, this policy did not enable it to compete with its mass-producing rivals and the firm struggled on until finally it was forced to close in 1931. According to the Swift Register, only a little over 200 Swift motor cars of all types are known to survive worldwide, mostly in the UK but spread as far as South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. This early single-cylinder Swift was purchased by the vendor's grandfather in 1931 from a farmer in Eversley, Berkshire. Since then, the car has completed no fewer than 57 London-Brighton Runs plus numerous other events and rallies over the years. It has only failed to finish on four occasions, and in 1968 successfully completed the Run despite having tailgated another vehicle following a brake failure. The Swift was professionally repaired. Earlier this year the car successfully completed the Ellis Journey celebrating the first recorded motorised carriage journey in the UK.'H 51' comes with various trophies, pendants, badges and other memorabilia accumulated over the last 90 years together with a VCC dating certificate and three journals dating from the present day back to the 1930s, including photographs. Also included in the sale is a (copy) maintenance manual; spare trembler assembly; spare inlet valve and housing; spare exhaust valve, spring, cotter and retainer; and numerous other parts and spanners. The Swift also comes with a Bantam Smart two-wheeled trailer with customised enclosing wooden top, which features a hand winch and spare wheel and has been designed for storage in a domestic garage (buyer to collect). This Lot is available to view at Classic Car Storage near Petersfield, Hampshire (by appointment with the Car Department only) from Monday 24th October to Wednesday 2nd November. It will then be available to view at Bonhams, 101 New Bond Street on Friday 4th November from 10am.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1908 Ford Model S Two-Seat Roadster Registration no. not registered Chassis no. 2382•Rare early Ford•Four-cylinder engine•Formerly part of the Harrah Collection•Purchased from the USA in 1990•Offered from a prominent private collection in Ireland•Running orderFootnotes:Having cut his teeth on a succession of prototypes and race-cars during the 1890s, Henry Ford buckled down to the somewhat less glamorous, yet considerably more profitable, business of mass production. His first volume-produced car - the 8hp Ford Model A runabout - was introduced in July 1903, and by the time of its replacement towards the end of 1904 a total of 670 had been made. The Model A's immediate successor – the Model C – was likewise twin-cylinder powered, while the Model B, another 1904 introduction, was Ford's first four-cylinder automobile and represented a move up market. All models used Ford's planetary transmission, the twins with chain final drive and the four with shaft drive. With the twin-cylinder models dropped after 1905, Ford offered the four-cylinder Model N and six-cylinder Model K for 1906. The Model N continued unchanged for 1907 alongside a more expensive version, the Model R, which featured foot boards in place of the N's carriage step and mechanical lubrication instead of a force-feed oiler. Mechanically the same as the Model R, the S was available as a Runabout with tonneau or a two-seat Roadster. The engine was a 149ci (2.4-litre) unit producing 15-18 horsepower, which drove via Ford's familiar two-speeds-plus-reverse planetary transmission and shaft final drive. In October 1908 Ford introduced the legendary Model T as a 1909 model, consigning its predecessors to the history books, and for the next two decades the Model T would be the only car offered by the 'Blue Oval'. This early four-cylinder Ford was purchased for the vendors' prominent private collection at auction in the USA in 1990. The previous owner was one E Long of Columbus, Ohio, and before that that the car was in the famed Harrah Collection in Reno, Nevada. Offered in running order, the car comes with a State of Ohio Certificate of Title.Please note that if this vehicle is to remain in the UK, it will be subject to Import VAT at the reduced rate of 5% on the hammer price.

c.1903 Stanley Model CX 6½hp Steam Runabout Registration no. BS 8546 Chassis no. 507 Engine no. 1200•Iconic American steam-powered passenger car•Listed in the Stanley Register•Extensively restored•Hydraulic and steam tests completed in October 2022Footnotes:'When all was well, the little Stanley runabouts probably provided more pleasurable motoring than anything else on the market at the turn of the century - that is if they were handled properly - they ran very quietly and with that effortless smoothness which no petrol car of the time could rival. They were also quite lively...' - Anthony Bird, 1967.Francis E and Freeland O Stanley were identical twins, whose Stanley Dry Plate Company produced photographic equipment. The brothers also designed steam cars, experimenting with a solitary prototype in 1887 before reviving the project in 1897. By the following year they had completed three more, one of which completed a spectacular demonstration in Charles River Park, Boston where it successfully scaled an 80ft incline that had defeated its rivals. Orders for 200 cars resulted and the Stanleys were in business. That first design was sold to John Brisben Walker and manufactured as the 'Locomobile', while the Stanleys progressed to a non-condensing engine driving the rear axle directly, with a rear-mounted boiler, production of which commenced in 1902. With Mobile out of business by 1903 and Locomobile by that time making petrol-engined cars, Stanley dominated the market and continued to do so until 1927 when steamer production ceased. Stanley's sole UK agent was F Wilkinson of Manchester.Listed in Kelly R Williams' Stanley Register and the Sprague Register (when owned by Art Hart), this CX runabout was previously purchased by one A Sinclair from a G Brese in the USA and imported in a partially dismantled state in June 2008. It was rebuilt with the assistance of F J Theobald (of the Steam Car Club) and on Mr Theobald's death was sold to a Mr T Gurr. The immediately preceding owner acquired the Stanley in February 2013 and a considerable amount of additional work was subsequently carried out, mainly by J R Goold Vintage Steam Restorations. The rebuild was completed in 2015. The boiler (and its larger-than-stock tank) are the only notified deviations from factory specification. The car's previous owner purchased the Stanley at Bonhams' London-Brighton Run sale in October 2015 (Lot 104), since when it has been on display in a heated barn and only used two or three times per year. Since acquisition, the vehicle has been tested annually by J R Goold, who have looked after it for many years. Last year they added a remote handle to the drains enabling operation from the driver's seat, but this can be returned to standard in 20 minutes with no damage to the car. By time of sale J R Goold will have completed the 10-year hydraulic test and live steam test, so the Stanley will come with new 10-year hydraulic and a one-year steam certification. Offered with a V5C document. This Lot is available to view at Classic Car Storage near Petersfield, Hampshire (by appointment with the Car Department only) from Monday 24th October to Wednesday 2nd November. It will then be available to view at Bonhams, 101 New Bond Street on Friday 4th November from 10am.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1901 Cottereau et Cie 7hp Project Registration no. not registered Engine no. 65•Short-lived French make•Rare example•Incomplete•Offered for restorationFootnotes:Like so many of its contemporaries, the company founded in Dijon by brothers Louis and Henri Cottereau began life as a bicycle manufacturer before turning to the automobile. Built in 1898, the brothers' first offering was a light car, which was powered by a 5hp v-twin engine and featured a three-speed gearbox and chain final drive. In 1900 the engine was enlarged to 9hp and wheel steering adopted in place of the original handlebar. The majority of the 1901 range was made up of twin-cylinder models, although Cottereau also offered a single-cylinder Benz-like car and a 10hp four. A comparatively large concern, Cottereau made virtually all elements of its cars in house, thereby avoiding the potential problems caused by components of sometimes variable quality sourced from outside. Characterised by Hotchkiss-style round radiators, the 1906 range was Cottereau's most extensive, featuring single-, twin-, three-, and four-cylinder models of varying power outputs, the largest being a 24hp four. Despite having a lot to offer, Cottereau went into decline from around 1908 and before the year's end was reorganised as Constructions Industrielle Dijonaise (CID), while the motorcycle side of the business was sold to Terrot. CID offered two lines of product: a light car and a larger model featuring rotary valve engines, and survived for only a few more years, closing in 1914. Consisting in the main of a rolling chassis with engine and carburettor, this incomplete 7hp twin-cylinder Cottereau was discovered in France 18 months ago. It is a rare car - the VCC has only ever come across one Cottereau twin before - and this one almost certainly dates from 1901 (wheels of equal size were introduced for 1902), while the water-cooled cylinder heads indicate it is the larger, 7hp model. The transmission and bodywork are missing, as is the crankshaft, con-rods and pistons, but the cylinder bores and all the valves are in good condition. A challenging project admittedly, but one that nevertheless has the potential to reward its restorer with a powerful early twin. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the Lot includes NOVA details and period articles and a catalogue copied during research undertaken at the VCC library. This Lot is available to view at Classic Car Storage near Petersfield, Hampshire (by appointment with the Car Department only) from Monday 24th October to Wednesday 2nd November. It will then be available to view at Bonhams, 101 New Bond Street on Friday 4th November from 10am.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1904 Oldsmobile 7hp 'Curved Dash' Runabout Registration no. BF 4661 Chassis no. to be advised•Imported from the USA•Present ownership for approximately 12 years•Frequent London-Brighton finisher•PRG trailer included (buyer to collect)Footnotes:Known as the 'Curved Dash' for obvious reasons, Ransom Eli Olds' gasoline-powered runabout was first offered for sale in 1901, following a fire at the factory that had destroyed every other prototype. Over 11,000 of the three Curved Dash models ('R', '6C' and 'B') were constructed before production ceased in 1907, making it the first volume produced American automobile. The Model 'R' runabout was powered by a single-cylinder, 1.6-litre engine of 114x152mm bore/stroke, mounted horizontally at the rear and producing 4½ horsepower at 600rpm. Later '6C' and 'B' models benefited from a more-powerful (7hp) 1.9-litre engine, and all featured two-speed transmission and chain final drive.Several improvements to the design were made during the course of production but the engine's basic layout remained unchanged. Two mechanically operated overhead valves were set side-by-side at 90 degrees to the cylinder axis, and the rocker arms had roller ends. An ignition contact-breaker was mounted on the end of the camshaft, and sparks provided by a trembler coil. By 1902, the mixer-type carburettor had been replaced by a float-less design, while a manually adjustable valve in the exhaust system vented exhaust gases via the silencer box or more or less straight to the atmosphere, the two settings presumably being intended for town and country use respectively. Cooling water was contained in a reservoir above the engine and circulated by a crankshaft-driven pump, mounted on the side of the chassis. The radiator's copper piping wound its way back and forth beneath the floor.Despite appearances to the contrary, the suspension's leaf-springs which linked the front and rear axles were not true half-elliptics like those fitted to the later model 'B' cars. On the 'R' and '6C' models, only the bottom leaf ran from front to rear, so it would be more accurate to describe these as four quarter-elliptics. Steering was by means of a tiller, a common enough method in the early 1900s, while there was a choice of brakes: one acting on the transmission, the other on the differential. The wheels were un-braked. Finished in the model's traditional black and maroon livery, this particular 'Curved Dash' has belonged to the vendor for approximately 12 years, having been imported from the USA, and while in his care has completed at least six London-Brighton Runs. The owner is 93 years old and only gave up flying his own light aircraft when he reached 80! The owner has worked on the car himself, and it is now fitted with a passenger side-step, a special valve lubricator, a new brass water tank, and an anti-locking device on the brakes when reversing. In addition, the track rods have been serviced and/or replaced. Notable features include a Stepney wheel, some tools, a wicker basket, hood and hood frame, side screens and a windshield (not currently fitted). The car is offered with a VCC dating certificate and comes with its own PRG trailer (buyer to collect). This Lot is available to view at Classic Car Storage near Petersfield, Hampshire (by appointment with the Car Department only) from Monday 24th October to Wednesday 2nd November.

1904 Ford Model C 10hp Twin-Cylinder Two-Seat Runabout Registration no. 03 WX 02 (Republic of Ireland)•One of the rarest of early Fords•Purchased from the USA in 1992•Offered from a prominent private collection in Ireland•VCC DatedFootnotes:Having cut his teeth on a succession of prototypes and race-cars during the 1890s, Henry Ford buckled down to the somewhat less glamorous, yet considerably more profitable, business of mass production. His first volume-produced car - the 8hp Ford Model A runabout - was introduced in July 1903, and by the time of its replacement towards the end of 1904 a total of 670 had been made. The Model A's immediate successor – the Model C – was likewise twin-cylinder powered, while the Model B, another 1904 introduction, was Ford's first four-cylinder automobile and represented a move up market. All models used Ford's planetary transmission, the twins with chain final drive and the four with shaft drive. Production of Models A and C overlapped for a while, and the former could be ordered with the latter's more powerful (10hp) engine fitted, in which form it was known as the 'AC'. A top speed of 38mph was claimed for both cars. Although the Model C looked like a front-engined design, in fact the engine remained under the seat, while opening the bonnet revealed the fuel tank. Although he had a four-cylinder car in the range, Ford was not done yet with the twin-cylinder engine and introduced a final derivative – the Model F – in 1905. Larger and more luxurious than its predecessors, the Model F was powered by a 16hp engine and carried four-seater phaeton coachwork as standard. The Model C was last produced in 1905 - the final year of the twin-cylinder Ford - during which year a total of 1,599 cars of all types had been made. One of only a tiny handful known in Europe, this example of one of Henry Ford's final twin-cylinder designs was previously owned by Charles R Hutchison of Elgin, Illinois. The car was purchased for the vendors' prominent private collection in 1992 and is offered in running order.

1897 Daimler 4hp Twin-Cylinder Tonneau Coachwork by Arthur Mulliner Registration no. W 95 (see text) Engine no. 1058•The second car manufactured by the Daimler Motor Company•The oldest known Daimler engine•Present family ownership for the last 70 years•Many-time London-Brighton participantFootnotes:'There can scarcely be a better way of appreciating the pleasures and perils of the pioneering days of motoring in Britain than by sampling an early Coventry Daimler, and I'm about to go for a ride in the earliest one there is.' – Zack Stiling, The Automobile, July 2022.The historic automobile offered here is the second car manufactured by the Daimler Motor Company Ltd in their Coventry Mills factory in June 1897 or earlier. It is powered by a 1,527cc vertical twin-cylinder engine rated a 4 horsepower, which drives via a four-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Engine number '1058' is the oldest known, and 'THE KIRKSTALL FORGE Co 1897' is stamped on the rear axle. This wonderful car was first owned by Arthur Mulliner, the famous Northampton coachbuilder, who nicknamed his car 'The Owl'. On 27th November 1897, this Daimler was demonstrated to The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) at Buckingham Palace, and two days later drove in the London to Brighton Commemoration Run from Northumberland Avenue to Richmond Park in London, organised by the Motor Car Club. A little over a week later, on 8th December 1897, Arthur Mulliner drove this Daimler with Henry Mulliner, his cousin, as passenger on the inaugural run of The Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland in London's Pall Mall. According to The Automobile: 'Another likely claim to fame is that this is the first car used for a manufacturer-organised road test, as well as one of the first in Britain to be driven a meaningful distance by women. Two journalists from The Gentlewoman were driven 75 miles in a Daimler by Mulliner from Northampton to their London offices in Arundel Street... Feeling affronted by Mulliner's comment that he called the car 'she' because it 'took a man to manage her', the two ladies determined to prove their worth as motorists and took over for a while from the suitable chastened colonel.' The Daimler's history only started to come to light following its acquisition by the Veteran Car Club in the 1940s (see below). Circa 1900 the car returned to the Daimler factory for updating: the tiller steering being changed to wheel; the front suspension to dumb irons and single elliptical springs; and the cylinder head revised, adding electrical trembler coil ignition to the existing 'hot tube'. It is possible that a rear radiator was added. It is also very likely that Mulliner's coachbuilding company changed the original body to a new Tonneau design (as invented by Arthur Mulliner). Evidence suggests that Arthur Mulliner (or his company) kept 'The Owl' until his death in 1946. However, when participating in the first London-Brighton 'Old Crocks Run' in 1927, it was entered by one S E Statham of Baker Street, and is well documented as having participated in the '28, '29, and '34 events. Henlys Ltd had taken over Mulliner's coachbuilding business in 1940, and later that decade the Daimler was purchased from them for the VCC by Stanley Sears. Sears had accumulated a collection of neglected early automobiles during the war to save them from the scrap merchants, and following the end of hostilities was engaged in finding homes for them with like-minded enthusiasts.Denis Flather, of the eponymous motoring dynasty, bought the car in 1952 from Sears' auction to become only its second private owner. A total restoration followed, and in November Denis successfully completed his first Brighton Run. Circa 1953/1954 tiller steering returned and in 2015 the hot tube ignition was reinstated (for safety reasons now fired by propane instead of petrol). Rear wheel drum brakes have been added also, made to Daimler's design of circa 1899. Originally registered 'YU 1572', the car carried the (presumed bogus) numberplate 'AD 1896' when purchased. The current registration, 'W 95', started life on Denis' father's 1903 Werner motorcycle. Its long life has seen the Daimler feature in various publications over the years, commencing in 1954 when a cutaway drawing of it appeared in The Eagle. It also appeared in Sixty Miles of Pencil, a collection of Brighton Run sketches by Messrs Reynolds and Clark published in 1971. In 1973 'W 95' made the front cover of Motor Sport's February edition, being flagged off by Prime Minister Edward Heath at the start of the 'Drive into Europe' rally to Brussels following the UK's admission to what was then the Common Market. The Daimler is now a veteran of more than 50 London-Brighton Runs. It has also been rallied extensively, completing the Hull-Scarborough event several times and on one occasion being driven around the Swiss lakes. Cruising speed is around 15-20mph and the car will cover around 20 miles per gallon (the tank holds five gallons). In 1970 Denis Flather passed the Daimler over to his son Michael, who extensively rallied and maintained the car in good running order for the next 52 years, taking the family ownership to 70 years in total. On the 1974 London-Brighton, Michael turned around in Brighton and drove back to Hyde Park, covering 120 miles in the day! On the 1980 FIFA Rally (five days and 350 miles around the South of England) the crew never touched a spanner. What an enticing prospect for the fortunate next owner!Accompanying the Daimler (boxed) are various spare parts; some useful tools and a starting handle plus odd parts in the drawer under the driver's seat; a roll of original brown leather; a headlight and bracket; and a drip tray. There is also a framed A4 picture outlining a brief history of the Daimler plus a large schematic Daimler Company drawing of the layout of a pre-1900 Daimler. A 2/3-full propane cylinder for firing the 'hot tube' ignition is under the passenger seat. A 'Guide to Preparing, Starting and Driving' is provided to ensure this Daimler continues to be driven for many years to come. The car also comes with a most comprehensive history file containing press cuttings and photographs of it in action and undergoing restoration at various times over the years (inspection recommended). Please note the seller reserves the right to retain the registration 'W95' should the Daimler be exported from the UK.

1903 Cadillac Two-seater Runabout Registration no. 03 WX 1 (Republic of Ireland) Engine no. 626•Purchased from the Henry Ford Museum in 1989•Engine professionally rebuilt circa 2009•Offered from a prominent private collection in Ireland•VCC DatedFootnotes:Founded by Henry Leland and Robert Faulconer, the Cadillac Automobile Company, of Detroit, Michigan completed its first car in October 1902, the firm's superior manufacturing technology - precision gear cutting was Leland and Faulconer's first speciality - soon establishing it as the foremost builder of quality cars in the USA. In 1901, Olds Motor Works contracted for the supply of Leland-built engines and, when unforeseen circumstances frustrated the plan, Leland and Faulconer formed their own company using funds supplied by two of Henry Ford's ex-backers. The company took its name from the great French 17th century explorer who had founded Detroit in 1701. The first Cadillac automobile was completed and test driven in October 1902, and the following January made a triumphal debut at the New York Automobile Show where sales manager William E Metzger took orders for no fewer than 2,286 cars, famously declaring mid-week that the Cadillac was 'sold out'. An exemplary performer by the standards of the day, the Cadillac's 98ci (1.6-litre) 10hp single-cylinder engine - known as 'Little Hercules' - was mounted horizontally on the left beneath the front seat and drove via a conventional two-speeds-plus-reverse planetary transmission, with centre chain drive to the rear axle. Keenly priced at only $750, the Cadillac was available with either two- or four-seat coachwork and had a maximum speed of around 30-35mph. F S Bennett's Anglo-American Motor Company promoted the Cadillac in the UK, where outstanding performances on Sunrising Hill and in the 1,000 Miles Trial of 1903 ensured that there were customers queuing to place orders. That first 1903 curved-dash Cadillac was re-designated as the Model A after the Model B's introduction for 1904, the 'B' being a more expensive version with box-shaped 'bonnet', pressed-steel frame, 'I'-beam front axle and single transverse front spring. At first Leland & Faulconer supplied only engines, transmissions and steering mechanisms for the Cadillac before taking responsibility for its entire construction in 1905.This early Cadillac was purchased for the current owners' private collection from the Henry Ford Museum circa 1989. The engine was rebuilt by Cox & Turner Engineering circa 2009 (see invoices on file) and the car is offered in running order.

1917 Lancia Theta 35hp Tourer Registration no. RG 9540 Chassis no. B3950 Engine no. 3913•Present enthusiast ownership since 1973•Long-term restoration completed 1997•Well known in Lancia and VSCC circles•Comfortable cruising at 50mphFootnotes:This magnificent Lancia Theta is believed to have been imported as a rolling chassis by the UK's Ministry of War in 1917; many were used initially to mount anti-aircraft guns, and later served as mobile searchlight units. The car was bought by the current owner in 1973 as a project that would occupy him for some 20 years, with the fully restored car attending the 50th anniversary rally of the Lancia Motor Club in 1997. The rally was successfully completed, including ascending Prescott Hill in several demonstration runs. Since then, the car has lived near Bath in a heated garage and is well known among VSCC members and Lancia enthusiasts. It is believed that only 19 Lancia Thetas survive worldwide, built between the commencement of the marque in 1908 and 1917 when this example was made. Its owner Roland Grazebrook, now in his mid-eighties, has been involved with Lancias all his life, including roles as both Chairman and Librarian of the Lancia Motor Club. He has owned 20 Lancias including both inter-war and post-war cars. The Theta is the only car to have remained in his constant ownership for all of the last 49 years. In regular use, the engine (a replacement of correct type) is described as in sound condition, starting easily on its electric starter motor. This and the original dynamo have been converted to 12v. The gearbox was fitted with many new components as part of the restoration and is said to function well. The clutch is an 18-plate unit, light in action, which we are advised makes for a smooth gearchange that is well in advance of its time. The chassis is said to be in good condition, having been totally stripped and coated with specialist chassis paint during the restoration. The Holcombe body was built circa 1995 with an ash frame and aluminium panelling. The decision on body style was made when the owner, having looked at examples of the Theta clad in a variety of bodies, found a photograph in the Beaulieu library of a 35hp Theta owned by Noel Macklin: he of Invicta and Railton fame, and designer of the Fairmile torpedo boat. Subsequently a second photograph was found, confirming his ownership of such a car in the early 1920s.Chosen to match period fire engines, the two-pack paint - chosen for its durability - was applied circa 1995. The colour maintains a deep lustre, which beautifully complements the brass lights and fittings. The interior is reported as excellent, having been reupholstered in the 1970s with deep-buttoned Connolly hide typical of the original cars. The brass instruments are all original and working, although the speedometer could usefully be re-calibrated. The gear lever is original with a brass handle, and the handbrake likewise has a brass handle and the original plated lever. The steering wheel was rebuilt in the 1970s with a new rim and grips. The levers for ignition timing and hand throttle are original. The steering wheel and levers have been re-covered as original. The car was re-wired using mainly aluminium-bound wiring. The headlamps are original, as is one sidelight, while the second side light was hand-made as a close copy. Both taillights were hand-made using photographs and the parts manual for reference. All lights function correctly, as do the modern indicators, which are painted black. A great deal of care has been taken to restore the car to factory specification in every possible detail. The original Lancia front axle is still fitted; this was a folded axle in deference to Vincenzo Lancia's commitment to saving weight. Many improvements have been made in the light of experience, particularly to the steering, which involved correcting and adjusting the Ackerman angles. Five rear axle ratios were available in 1917, and the second highest has been chosen for easy cruising, although the torque is so great that top gear can be used to pull away from 15mph! The Theta cruises comfortably at 50mph with an occasional maximum in excess of 60mph. The car is never used in winter conditions and is kept garaged in a heated building.Details of the Theta's history were recounted in an illustrated article in the Lancia Motor Club magazine, a copy of which is on file together with Veteran Car Services Ltd's dating report and certificate.

1904 Siddeley 12hp Twin-Cylinder Rear-Entrance Tonneau Registration no. H 1864 Chassis no. V85•The only known survivor of circa 31 12hp models built•Many-time London-Brighton competitor•Single family ownership since 1993•Last competed on the L-B Run in 2019Footnotes:The origins of the Siddeley marque may be traced back to 1892 when John Davenport Siddeley, a former racing cyclist for Humber, joined the latter as its sole designer. After a spell with The Pneumatic Tyre Company (late known as Dunlop), Siddeley set up his own Clipper tyre company in Coventry. Resigning from Clipper in 1901, he became the UK importer for Peugeot motor cars. The following year he set up the Siddeley Autocar Company, whose first product, perhaps not surprisingly, showed a strong Peugeot influence. Both the chassis and engine were imported at this time, but Siddeley wanted to free himself of foreign dependence and produce a wholly British car. Thus it came about that the first 'proper' Siddeley motor cars were manufactured by Wolseley and assembled by Vickers, JDS having concluded a deal with Wolseley's parent company, Vickers Sons & Maxim. These early British-built Siddeleys incorporated many advanced features, having vertical engines (rather than horizontal), aluminium cylinder blocks, and shaft drive. Impressed by Siddeley's products, Wolseley took over his company early in 1905, keeping John on as Sales Manager. From then until 1910 these vertical-engined cars were marketed under the Wolseley-Siddeley brand name. By then John Siddeley had left to join the Deasy company, giving rise to the Siddeley-Deasy marque. When Siddeley-Deasy was taken over by Armstrong Whitworth & Co in 1919, the motor manufacturing side of the business was reorganised as Armstrong-Siddeley. Known as the 'Green Goddess' (named after the brass pixie mascot on the bonnet), this early Siddeley is the only known survivor of approximately 31 12hp cars built during this period. Pictured in Ray Cook's book, Armstrong Siddeley – the Parkside story (page 11), 'H 1864' is powered by a vertical twin-cylinder engine featuring an aluminium block and mechanical valves, while the cylinder liners and heads are cast-iron. Lubrication is by total loss, and the engine's operating range is between 80 and 1,800rpm. The gearbox contains four forward speed plus reverse. Both the foot and hand brakes operate on the rear wheels only. The rear-mounted 8-gallon fuel tank is pressurised initially by a hand pump, switching to exhaust gas pressurisation when the engine is running. An exhaust cut-out valve is fitted. The car has a top speed of 28mph and returns around 20 miles per gallon. In 1993, the Siddeley was purchased by the lady vendor's late husband from Mrs R V Hazell via agent Mr A J Cousins, who was brother-in-law of the late George Hazell, the car's owner for several decades. At the time of purchase the buyer, Mr Baxendale, noted that the car required a repaint, radiator repair, brake overhaul and a full mechanical check. The Siddeley was a two-seater at that time, but it is understood to have had a tonneau body originally (according to the Dating Certificate). Subsequently a new rear-entrance tonneau body was fabricated by Bryan Goodman and then painted and trimmed (drawings and bills on file). The car had completed a few London-Brighton Runs with Mr Baxendale (a committed and enthusiastic Armstrong Siddeley Club member) prior to his untimely death in the late 1990s. Since then the car has been run regularly on the London-Brighton Run by family and Club members, even transporting Fiona Bruce one year for an edition of Antiques Roadshow. It last completed the London-Brighton Run in 2019 and has not be used since.The car comes with history files containing, among other documents, a hand-written list of L-B entries dating back to 1946; a duplicate VCC Dating Certificate (No. 111); the 1993 bill of sale; a V5C Registration Certificate; assorted correspondence; and a quantity of old MoTs and invoices.

1915 Lanchester Sporting Forty Torpedo Tourer Registration no. O 7574 Chassis no. 1569 Engine no. 1569•The only survivor of six built•Retained as the company's 'publicity car'•Present family ownership since 1997•Restored between 1998 and circa 2004Footnotes:One of the greatest names in the history of the automobile, Frederick Lanchester began his career as an engineer at the Forward Gas Engine Co of Saltley, near Birmingham, where he rose to become its works manager and chief designer. He patented a pendulum inertia governor while there, and would go on to file a further 425 patents in the course of a remarkably inventive life. With his younger brother George taking his place as works manager, Frederick began experimenting with small gasoline engines. He began work on what would be the UK's first four-wheeled petrol car of entirely native design in 1895, producing a tiny handful of prototypes, and in December 1899 the Lanchester Engine Company Ltd was formed to manufacture motor cars. During 1900 six cars were built, all retained for the company's own use, with deliveries to paying customers commencing in 1901. The first production Lanchester was powered by a horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine of 4.0 litres, which drove via three-speed epicyclic gearbox and worm-drive rear axle. Larger twins were introduced, but by 1904 the general expectation was that engines of this size should have four cylinders, and it was while Frederick was designing such a car that his company went bust. The firm was reorganised as the Lanchester Motor Company Ltd and duly introduced its first four-cylinder model – a 2½-litre rated at 20hp – towards the end of 1904. Despite the engine now being vertical and at the front, Lanchester's established 'bonnet-less' look was maintained by mounting the power unit between the driver and front passenger. All production Lanchesters would follow this layout up to 1914. Unusually, one lever operated the clutch, gears, and main brake. In 1906 a six-cylinder 3.7-litre model based on the existing four was introduced, which was followed by larger models of both engine types. By this time George Lanchester had become increasingly disillusioned with the company that bore his name, and George began to take on more of the design and engineering responsibilities. With bonneted cars now established as the norm, the bluff-fronted Lanchesters were looking increasingly old-fashioned in appearance, and in 1913, at the directors' instructions, the first conventional design was introduced: the 'Sporting Forty', which was the first Lanchester designed by George. Representing a quantum leap in style, this new type of Lanchester was powered by a 5½-litre sidevalve six that was carried beneath a lengthy bonnet. The result was one of the most stylish sports cars of its era and a worthy rival for Rolls-Royce's Silver Ghost. Only a handful had been completed when the outbreak of WWI saw Lanchester's factory redirected onto munitions and aero engine manufacture. This car is the only survivor. After the war the Sporting Forty was replaced in 1919 by a similar looking, but completely different, 40hp design. Lanchester made only six of this model and this example was retained by the factory as the company's 'publicity car. It was sold initially to an owner in Wales and then went to Australia; it is now the only known survivor. This car was the subject of a series of six articles in the VCC Gazette No. 294 (copy available) written by the late owner, Graham Pilmore-Bedford, who restored it between 1998 and circa 2004. The Lanchester is now owned by his family. Graham Pilmore-Bedford was an enthusiastic and active VCC member, and in the 1970s was the Lanchester Owners' Club Registrar and very friendly with Francis Hutton-Stott, the former VCC President and Lanchester authority. Graham first heard about this car in South Australia in 1974. The Australian owner wanted to get the car running; he had found it with the engine and front part of the chassis powering a generator, while the front suspension and front axle were being used for a horse drawn buggy. The car was missing its gearbox and the Australian did not get around to starting the project.Graham purchased the car in 1997 and brought it back to the UK, and by 1998 he had started the project. The coachwork is an exact replica of the original factory body, the ash frame being made by Graham to the correct specification from drawings and then skinned in aluminium to a high standard by a company in Devon. A casting of the gearbox casing was made from exact drawings, while the internals were more easily obtained as they match those of a 38hp car. The original wheels came with the purchase, as did the chassis (in two parts), steering column, some gearbox linkages and control pedals. The Lanchester has an Auster type rear passenger screen and overall is a very imposing car with its lovely polished aluminium body and pale blue wings and chassis. Other lovely details of a car rivalling a Rolls-Royce or Napier for quality include side mounted spares on either side; Lucas 'King of the Road' headlamps; faired-in side lamps to the front wings; a full complement of instruments; and very nice blue leather interior trim and blue/grey carpets.After completion the Lanchester returned to the road not long after 2004 for a rally in Wales. It also took part in some VCC SE Section rallies as well as the VCC 'Best of West Kent' annual rally, which was organised in part by Graham. The car also participated in a rally in France when Graham reached his 80th birthday. The family are Lanchester enthusiasts and the car shares a motor house with other examples of the marque. For the last decade the Lanchester has belonged to Graham Pilmore-Bedford's son, Jeremy, who drove it during that period on the 'Best of West Kent' rally and the event in France when his father turned 80.'O 7574' was recently checked over having been stored unused since circa 2017, and started and ran well for the photographic session. This unique piece of Lanchester history comes with a V5C document and VCC Dating Certificate (no. 2453), while one or two spare original bonnet panels (not serviceable) and the top part of the original bulkhead are included in the sale. This Lot is available to view at Classic Car Storage near Petersfield, Hampshire (by appointment with the Car Department only) from Monday 24th October to Wednesday 2nd November. It will then be available to view at Bonhams, 101 New Bond Street on Friday 4th November from 10am.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1903 Humber Olympia Tandem Forecar Registration no. BJ 2513 Chassis no. 100642 Engine no. B558•One of the earliest surviving Humbers•Restored in 2000•London to Brighton eligible•Also eligible for the Pioneer Run and Banbury RunFootnotes:With a background in bicycle manufacture, Humber entered motor vehicle production as early as 1896, displaying motorcycles at The International Horseless Carriage Exhibition that year, these machines being powered by Pennington 2hp engines. Humber later built Léon Bollée engines under licence, and in 1902 acquired the rights to build Phelon & Moore engines. The forecar design enjoyed a long vogue among various manufacturers, lasting until around 1907. The production of Humber vehicles was carried on at both Beeston, Nottingham, and at Coventry, there being some considerable rivalry between the two factories, the Beeston works being reserved generally for production of the more expensive models.'The 'Humber Olympia' motor tandem is an ideal vehicle for two riders. All control is in the hands of the rear rider while the passenger is in the front, out of reach of dust and the exhaust gases, and conversation is easy. The front seat is most comfortably hung on springs and is excellently upholstered, luxurious to even the most delicate. The steering is unaffected by the absence or the presence of a passenger, and is easier than that of an ordinary tricycle.' Thus did Humber describe their 1903 offering, which came with a price tag of £75, or £21 11s 3d deposit and twelve monthly payments of £5 8s 0d. The single-cylinder air-cooled engine was built under Phelon & Moore licence. Purchased from Robert Thomas (Partsmade), this tandem forecar is one of the earliest surviving Humbers. The vehicle's earliest known owner is one A Foley, a resident of Norwich, to whom it belonged in the 1950s, and there is a photograph on file of the Humber being ridden circa 1910 showing the registration 'BJ 2513'. Also in the history file are photographs showing various stages of its restoration (carried out in 2000); sundry bills for work carried out; miscellaneous papers; Pioneer and VCC certificates; and a V5C document. Noteworthy features include a 'Wheel of Life' chain and a Longuemare carburettor. While with the current owner the Humber has participated in two Pioneer Runs and various local rallies. Described by the vendor as in very good condition throughout, this Beeston-built Humber (as identified by the engine number's 'B' prefix) is eligible not only for the prestigious London to Brighton Veteran Car Run but also for the equally prestigious Sunbeam MCC's Pioneer Run from Epsom to Brighton, and the VMCC's Banbury Run.

1898 Peugeot Type 15 8hp Twin-Cylinder Double-Phaeton Registration no. CH 71 Chassis no. 439 Engine no. 174•Delivered new in France•Formerly part of the Museo di Rodo collection•Restored in the 1990s by Tony Smallbone•Many-time London-Brighton finisher•Past winner of the Regent Street Concours Footnotes:'The Peugeot is the French car that still maintains its excellence and is the only firm of long- standing repute still manufacturing two-cylinder engined cars and with a range of models from 8 hp to 50 hp ... it is made apparent that the Peugeot cars are fully worthy of the high place they have taken in the motor world.' - Max Pemberton. The Amateur Motorist, 1907.Established producers of tools, coffee mills, umbrella spikes and corsetry, Peugeot commenced its long-standing connection with wheeled transport in 1885 when it added cycle manufacture to its portfolio. Among the world's oldest surviving motor manufacturers, the company commenced car production in 1889 with a steam-powered tri-car but soon abandoned steam in favour of the internal combustion engine to Daimler design, building a succession of ever larger automobiles before introducing the first of its famous Bébé light cars in 1900. Step by step Peugeot modernised its designs, adopting the steering wheel in 1901 on the Type 36 and front-mounted engines on all of its new models in 1902. From that time forward Peugeot unashamedly copied the Mercedes style in miniature. Singles, twins and four-cylinder cars were produced at this time, some with chain and others with shaft drive, the latter becoming universal after 1909. This car's early history is recorded in the Peugeot factory records, which show that it was delivered on 16th July 1898 to a customer (name not recorded) in the Muriac region of France. However, it seems that this car received special attention as evidenced by the larger-than-usual number of nickel-plated parts in addition to Peugeot's liberal stamping of the car number on the chassis, body, and various other components, including some nuts and bolts. These numbered parts were discovered during restoration, confirming the car's unusually high degree of originality, and are still in place today. This Peugeot Type 15 has a horizontal 8hp twin-cylinder engine displacing approximately 2.2 litres, which drives via four-speeds-plus-reverse gearbox, making it an advanced design for the day. It also has an early form of governor-controlled 'cruise control', and we are advised that the hot tube ignition has never given any trouble. The Peugeot must have been well cared-for during its early life and subsequent storage, as by the 1950s, when the car came into the possession of the Museo di Rodo at Uzès in the Gard department of southern France, it was complete and un-restored. When the museum closed in the 1980s, the Peugeot was purchased at a London auction by Tony Smallbone. From early 1990 to 1996, Tony carried out a full 'last nut and bolt' restoration retaining every original part possible. The finished car completed the 100-year celebration, London to Brighton Run in 1996 without a fault. It has successfully completed the run many times and is a past winner of the Regent Street Concours. Subsequently the Peugeot passed to Robin Loader and latterly to the present owner, both of whom have enjoyed numerous successful London to Brighton Runs (including several very early arrivals), many other Victorian events and Lac Leman runs. Tony Smallbone has continued to look after the car for the current vendor.There is a substantial amount of paperwork with the car, including numerous invoices and photographs dating from when it was restored in the early 1990s, together with a VCC dating certificate, a V5C document, and plenty of marque-related information.

1904 Lagonda 10hp Tricar Registration no. OI 266 Engine no. 108•Believed to be the oldest known Lagonda•One of only three Lagonda tricars known to exist•Present ownership since 2004•Eligible for the London-Brighton and Pioneer RunsFootnotes:The Lagonda Motor Company was founded in 1906 in Staines, Middlesex by the American Wilbur Gunn (1859-1920), a former opera singer who named it after a river near his hometown of Springfield, Ohio. Gunn had started out building motorcycles in the greenhouse at his home in Staines with some success. He later added tricars to the line-up, one of which, driven by Gunn, won the 1905 London to Edinburgh Trial. Single-cylinder tricars were offered at first, followed by others powered by v-twin engines, the first (single-cylinder) three-wheeler being delivered in December 1903. After some teething troubles had been sorted out and improvements made, the Lagonda tricar was ready for its public debut and was the subject of an illustrated article in the 5th April 1904 edition of The Motor Cycle. Bearing a strong family resemblance to Lagonda's motorcycles, the first tricar was powered by a single-cylinder air-cooled engine rated at 5hp, which was carried in a simple tubular steel frame. There was two-stage chain transmission and a two-speed sliding-pinion gearbox. Somewhat unusually, the engines were of Lagonda's own manufacture; indeed, virtually the entire machine was made in house. Lagonda's first twin-cylinder tricar had been completed in January 1905. The engine was an inlet-over-exhaust 45-degree v-twin of 1,220cc capacity, and the model was referred to in the motorcycling press as of 12hp (actually 10hp by the RAC rating). The gearbox now had three speeds. Lagonda's advertising made much of the London-Edinburgh victory, pointing out that top gear had been used throughout with the exception of one hill. Wilbur Gunn was a most enthusiastic competitor, taking part in events of all sorts to demonstrate his products' qualities, and at the end of July his tricar was one of only seven machines that had covered the full distance at the end of the Motor Cycling Club's 24-hour Trial. Even greater achievements were to come, and in June 1906 Gunn's Lagonda tricar won its class in the ACC's Land's End to John o'Groats Trial. Lagonda had stopped making motorcycles in 1905 while continuing to develop the tricars, which in 1906 adopted wheel steering, replacing the previous handlebars, while water cooling for the engine was offered as an option (standardised from 1907). However, there were few customers for the tricars during wintertime, and they were being increasingly challenged in the market place by 'proper' small cars. Lagonda discontinued the tricar in 1908 after 69 had been made, their successor being a four-wheeled light car. Only three tricars are known to exist, and this example is believed to be the oldest known Lagonda. Dated as 1904 by the VCC Dating Committee under Sammy Davis, it is considered a prototype or pre-production model and is the only Lagonda that can participate in the London-Brighton Run. The machine was discovered and purchased in 1935 by the Southall twins and in 1936 was entered by Philip Southall in its first London-Brighton Run. Stephen Southall used the Lagonda until he was 90 years of age. Subsequently the Lagonda was borrowed by the current vendor and finally purchased by him in 2004. The tricar has been restored twice: once in 1936 and again in the 1990s, on the latter occasion by Lagonda. The only notified deviation from factory specification is an Amal carburettor. Since acquisition by the vendor this historic machine has been used on VCC, VSCC, VMCC, and SMCC events in the UK, Ireland and Europe, and has completed both the London-Brighton Veteran Car Run and Sunbeam Motor Cycle Club Pioneer Run on many occasions.

1904 Napier 15hp Four-Cylinder Rear-Entrance Tonneau Registration no. MC 143 Chassis no. 717 Engine no. 618•Offered from more than 66 years of family ownership•England's premier brand of its day•Advanced technical specification with four cylinders and four speeds Veteran Car Club Dated•Eligible for the London to Brighton RunFootnotes:In 2022, The London to Brighton Veteran Car Run will honour the magnificent achievement of S.F. Edge winning the Gordon Bennett Cup, from Paris to Innsbruck in Austria 120 years ago in a Napier car. It was a moment that drew great attention to British manufacturing of motorcars and British motorsport, but most of all it cemented Napier's place in the history of the automobile. This majestic Brighton Runner was built by that most coveted name of early British construction, being one of less than a dozen 1904 and earlier survivors of the marque. The remarkable 1902 win came just seven years after Montague Stanley Napier had taken charge of the Lambeth-based family engineering business in 1895 upon the death of his father. The youthful twenty five year old – once described as 'combining the philosophy and the modesty of the rustic cobbler with the best attributes of the unspeakable Scot' was a brilliant engineer keen to move the family business from its traditional fields of printing machinery manufacture into the new-fangled world of the horseless carriage. Fascinated by speed, he had earned repute as a racing cyclist of no mean ability and, mixing in those circles at the Bath Road Cycle Club, he came in contact with one Selwyn Francis Edge, London manager of The Dunlop Tyre Company. Napier's engineering flair and Edge's commercialism, combined with an at times uneasy flair for self-publicity, made for a powerful partnership that was soon to establish the name Napier at the forefront of the British motor industry as well as a force to be reckoned with in international motor racing.In 1900 Napier entered their customer Edward Kennard's 8hp car in The Thousand Miles Trial around Britain, (a blatant piece of propaganda for the motor car), and with Edge at the wheel achieved not only first in class but second overall in the whole Trial against a formidable line up of 84 cars. Appreciating the value of such publicity Edge and Napier set their sights on the great Continental motor races, in particular focusing on winning The Gordon Bennett Trophy – the ambition achieved in 1902 in a spectacularly uneventful drive from Paris to Innsbruck which left the French team in a state of disarray by the roadside.Alongside the epic drives and races Napier concentrated on building cars of high quality at the Lambeth works which they soon outgrew. A move to larger premises at Acton followed in 1902 and by 1906 1,000 men were employed at the Acton factory. Napier was the first to pioneer a reliable six-cylinder car, ahead even of Rolls and Royce and in doing so became the supreme luxury car of its day, but its light would shine more briefly in this form of engineering as the company focused on aero engines. The fact that this car survives at all is thanks to the sleuthing of Captain Ivan Forshaw just after the war. Determined to find a good quality veteran or Edwardian car, he was most interested in the heritage of the Napier company and set about it, as one did in those days, by putting 'feelers' out with a few calls here and there to see if such a car could be found. One did materialise at Elford's Engineering in Southbourne, but when Elford Senior proved impossible to deal with and the price a prohibitive £50, the search moved on. In 1956, a chance encounter at the Post Office in Parkstone with a pair of scrap dealing brothers, the Kents, would prove to be the solution. Diver Kent asked Forshaw if a small chain driven lorry might suffice for what he was looking for, as they'd seen one recently somewhere in Upton in a barn near the road. Off went Capt. Forshaw to peak through barn doors until he found success. As it turned out, the barn was partially collapsed and the owner a Mr. Palmer was very deaf. A form of dialogue was struck up and it emerged that the car was indeed a Napier, eureka! However, it could not be for sale, since removal of the car would mean that the barn would no longer have any support and it would fall down. Negotiations continued whenever Forshaw would pass Palmer's door, and eventually he found that he could have the barn shored up for £1.10s 0d, enabling the Napier to be purchased and removed. Mr. Palmer would volunteer that the Napier was in fact a car that as for many higher performance vehicles had been repurposed as a flatbed lorry, most likely during the war years. It still wore a tax disc from 1923, which confirmed the last time it had been on the road, wearing the registration 'MC143', this would have been its second registration as that series was only offered by Middlesex County Council from 1917-1920, Palmer said that it had been driven down from London to Dorset in about 1923. Immediately upon securing the car, Forshaw corresponded with D. Napier & Son Ltd., they quantified the car as a D45 model which had been built and delivered in 1904. The D45 model was marketed in England as the 15hp, the four-cylinder engine, cast in pairs, displacing 2,525cc and reputedly developing 21hp. This engine drove through a four-speed gearbox with final drive by side chains. In all it is understood that 182 examples were delivered between 1902 and 1904, the first ones with a serpentine radiator and then as fashion dictated a matrix radiator with shroud, as on this car. Ivan Forshaw found that the Napier was in very tired order and the ensuing years would be a labour of love to return it to the road. The mechanical aspect was one set of problems, but another was its lack of bodywork beyond a rudimentary seat. Originally, it was Forshaw's intention to build a new body, but another chance connection through the Veteran Car Club provided a clue to the whereabouts of a period touring body that had been found in the loft of a coachhouse in Snowdonia. Quite possibly the alternative to a winter or formal body, the coachwork comprised a rear entrance tonneau which must have been stored and never returned to its car. The coachhouse itself was due to be demolished, so this was also a remarkable find and it was believed had been fitted to a Daimler of this same era. A little after the acquisition, Mr. Palmer said that he had the car's side lamps which were still in London and sure enough those were retrieved by him and given to Captain Forshaw.As has always been the spirit in our hobby, the knowledge of an enthusiast wanting to restore his car provided a variety of leads, sources and helpers to his cause, including luminaries such as Derek Grossmark, the noted Napier historian. Forshaw whiled away many hours, days, months and years before eventually in 1982 the task was complete.Resplendent in bright red paintwork, the magnificent Napier returned to use and made a debut London to Brighton Run in 1982, and it was entered and completed almost every year from then until 1995. An application to the Veteran Car Club in this period confirmed its date of 1904, carrying certificate number 1658. Again, a period of inactivity has elapsed since the car was used with regularity, but it remains in a cleanly presented order, and as recently as 2015 the wheels were rebuilt by Douglas Andrews the respected wheelwright. It is the felt that it should respond well to recommissioning, so much work having been carried out in its original restoration. Surviving Veteran Napiers are incredibly scarce, a mere eight being listed with the VCC and a further two American built examples. Offered today from more than 66 years of private ownership, the Captain Forshaw Napier represents a generat... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1907 Stanley Model EX Steam Runabout Registration no. FN 3997 Chassis no. 3595•In the previous (family) ownership from 1925 to 2012•Known history from new•Present ownership since 2012•New boiler, burner pan, etc•Comprehensive history fileFootnotes:Rarely is a Stanley offered for sale in this condition and so extensively documented, this example having been in the previous (family) ownership for 87 years.First owner Ed Hunter bought the Stanley from George Grappotte's dealership in Watertown, New York. On 10th August 1924, Hunter sold the car to Fred 'Pickle' Jackson of Dexter, NY, making it that small rural town's first automobile. By then the EX was well worn and Jackson contemplated turning it into a sleigh because of the nice coachwork. The preceding owner's father happened to be there and persuaded Jackson to sell it to him instead. He was in Dexter visiting his mother, and left the car in her barn where it stayed until 1953. It was then that he decided to entrust its restoration to Ed Beagle of Bennington, Vermont. Beagle repaired the Stanley and got it running in fairly good order. Two years later, in 1955, Stanley Ellis featured Beagle and the then eight-year-old preceding owner in his seminal book, Smogless Days: Adventures in Ten Stanley Steamers. Ellis's book influenced the preservation of Stanleys by popularising, even facilitating, steam car collecting. Beagle kept the Stanley until 1972 when he turned 100.At that point, the car was moved from Vermont to the preceding owner's home in Chatham, NY. Looking for advice on running the car, he contacted Carl Amsley (a well-known Stanley dealer and restorer) and others including Susan Davis of the then new Stanley Museum. The result was that the Stanley was fired up occasionally, with no extensive driving. On his father's death in 1992, the car passed to the immediately preceding owner, a resident of Utah at the time. Initially the car remained in Chatham before being moved to Utah.Around that time, Lorin Tryon and Jules Heumann collaborated with Susan Davis and the Stanley Museum to put together a Stanley Class for the 1997 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Thanks to Stanley Museum member and Tryon and Heumann's 'Candy Store' friend, Jim Crank, the timing coincided with the centennial of the Stanley steam car. With help from Brent Campbell and other experts, a class of 12 Stanleys was assembled together with four White steam cars, four Dobles, and the coal-fired 1884 De Dion Bouton et Trepardoux Dos-a-Dos. The plan was to gather together the most representative and original steam cars in the country that properly told the story of the Stanley Steamer. By adding Whites, Dobles and the rare De Dion Bouton, the class was expanded to encompass steam cars in general. The Pebble Beach judges felt that this 1907 EX met the requirements of originality and provenance for the Stanley's longest-running 10 horsepower production model, built from 1906-1908.At the same time, the preceding owner decided to put his car through a major restoration, which was completed in 1996. In doing so, he recruited the best Stanley west-coast experts to do the work: Stu Laidlaw's SOB Inc; Alan Blazick's Bill Harris and Lane Goulding; Loren Burch; and Arno Stites. They were helped with advice from east-coast experts, including the late Louie Biondi, Brent Campbell, Charlie Johnson and others. As with truly original Stanleys, the serial number '3595' was found on the body, in this case branded into the right side of the cowling. The wood was encapsulated with marine epoxy to seal it and prevent it from expanding and cracking the paint.Once the restoration was completed, the Stanley was entered in the 1996 Silverado Concours in Napa, California where it placed 2nd. Next year at Pebble Beach its 3rd place in the Stanley Class was especially significant, as the field included the country's top Stanleys. After Pebble Beach, the EX returned to Ogden, Utah where it was driven and shown, and for a few years was a major attraction in the Browning Car Museum at Union Station in Ogden. The current UK-based vendor purchased the Stanley at Bonhams' Greenwich sale in June 2012 (Lot 483). Since its acquisition the Stanley has been maintained by Tony Smallbone. Works carried out have included installing a new boiler, burner pan, etc (by Don Bourdon) while the engine has been stripped and refreshed with new packings, lots of new pipework, valves serviced, etc, and new tyres fitted. Related paperwork and bills are on file. The car comes with newspaper articles, written documentation and original photographic prints used in Stanley Ellis's Smogless Days book as well as others taken when the preceding owner's father bought the car in New York in 1924. A picture of George Grappotte's dealership where the car was first sold is also included together with the original 1924 cheque for its purchase.This Stanley will be a significant addition to any collection that includes 'Brass Era' automobiles. For those who may wish also to drive it, he or she will enjoy the Stanley's exhilarating performance. This Lot is available to view at Classic Car Storage near Petersfield, Hampshire (by appointment with the Car Department only) from Monday 24th October to Wednesday 2nd November. It will then be available to view at Bonhams, 101 New Bond Street on Friday 4th November from 10am.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1902 MMC 10hp Twin-Cylinder Rear-Entrance Tonneau Registration no. DR 14 Chassis no. 614 Engine no. 2109• An important short-lived British marque• Offered from a significant UK collection• Restored by N P Veteran Engineering (Nigel Parrott) in the early 2000s• Successful on almost every London to Brighton Veteran Car Run since 2001Footnotes:The Motor Manufacturing Company (MMC) was successor to The Great Horseless Carriage Company, which had been founded in 1897 by the infamous entrepreneur and latter fraudster, Harry J Lawson, and was part of his British Motor Syndicate. Lawson had sought to establish a monopoly of motor manufacturing in Britain by obtaining as many related patents as possible, starting with those of the German Daimler company. His efforts, like those of the Selden patent's owners in the USA, would be frustrated by the courts.The Great Horseless Carriage Company shared the Motor Mills in Coventry with Daimler's British offshoot and commenced production in 1897 using Daimler engines and gearboxes, while the bodies and wheels were of its own manufacture. Reorganised as The Motor Manufacturing Company in 1898, it continued with Daimler based designs alongside rear-engined types designed by railway engineer George Iden. Motorcycles, tricycles and quadricycles were added to the portfolio and MMC also supplied its engines to other manufacturers. Simplification of the range saw only three models offered for 1902: a single, twin and four, all with front-mounted engines.In receivership in 1904, MMC relocated to Parkside in Coventry and the company staggered on for the next few years, producing a handful of cars, before being reorganised again in 1907. MMC moved to London but its new owner's ambitious plans came to nought and it effectively ceased to exist in 1908.Representing the marque at the height of its success, this example is powered by MMC's own 2,092cc vertical twin-cylinder engine with atmospheric inlet valves and trembler coil ignition. The early history of this car is not known; the Devonport records are incomplete and details of the original owner have not been found. 'DR 14' was discovered in 1951 by Dick Barton of the Barton Motor Company (Morris distributors) of Plymouth, in a scrap yard known as Dobewalls Scrap Heap between Liskeard and Dobwalls, Cornwall. He offered the remains for sale through the VCC Gazette. Several 'as found' photographs of the car survive and show that 'DR 14' was a complete rolling chassis but with parts missing. Nevertheless, there was enough to make it a viable restoration project: wooden chassis with inner and outer flitch plates, dumb-irons, springs, and ancillary parts; front and rear axles; engine with flywheel and clutch plus the exhaust manifold and complete exhaust system including the silencer: gearbox/transaxle/half-shafts/chain-wheels/brakes; wheels; and the steering gear. In January 1952 Barton sold the MMC to Basil Ripley of Gosport.Basil completely dismantled the car but then realised that the restoration was beyond his resources so he contacted John Ford (owner of MMC 'F 89') who bought the parts as spares. When John Ford sold 'F 89' to Peter Black he offered the parts of 'DR 14' to Harry Baggs as spares for his 20hp four-cylinder car. In 1988 Harry sold the 20hp car, while 'DR 14', still in a completely dismantled state, passed to the late Malcolm Jeal: VCC stalwart, honorary member of the Society of Automotive Historians, and former editor of The Automobile magazine.The original chassis had suffered from its long exposure in the scrapyard, and new seasoned ash, perfect in both size and grain direction, was obtained from coachbuilder Rod Jolley. Rebuilding the wheels was set in hand through Lambrook Tyres in Devon using the original hubs and chainwheels/brake spiders, and new rims. Importantly, the car's original colour scheme was successfully identified. Slowly the parts were primed and painted, and then reassembled to produce a rolling chassis with no mechanical elements fitted. Only one significant mechanical component was missing: one half of the differential carrier in the final drive unit. When it was eventually remanufactured in 1998, the cost for this single item was around £1,500.In 1995, Bryan Goodman volunteered to make a body. After a visit to the Black Collection to examine 'F 89' in detail, he set to and in an amazingly short time had the main structure completed and panelled. All distinctive features of MMC bodywork of the period were faithfully reproduced.Despite encouragement from Bryan and other friends, it was apparent to Malcolm and Eunice Jeal that if the restoration project was to proceed the car would have to be placed with a professional restorer. Sadly, the one selected did not come up to scratch and little progress had been made by the time the MMC was retrieved. Understandably, the Jeals' enthusiasm for the project was numbed by this experience, and when the current vendor approached Malcolm Jeal in 2000 about selling the car, a deal was struck and 'DR 14' went to a new custodian.The MMC was then properly restored by N P Veteran Engineering Ltd (Nigel Parrott) and after 50 years since being rescued it was back on the road for the 2001 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. Concluding his account of the car's history (copy on file) Malcolm Jeal declared: 'It was a wonderful sight to see!'Since the restoration 'DR 14' has been run successfully on almost every London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, including being driven on L plates by the previous vendors' then 17 year old son, used to tour Lac Léman in Switzerland, and even seen service to deliver multiple brides to their weddings! Restoration bills totalling £65,000 are on file together with others relating to the MMC's subsequent regular servicing by Nigel Parrott and in excellent condition and ready to enjoy, the car also comes with a dating certificate and copy application and a quantity of MoTs and tax discs. The valuable 'DR 14' registration stays with the car and is transferable.

1898 De Dion Bouton 1¾hp Tricycle Registration no. BS 8659 Chassis no. 3037 Engine no. 5400•VCC Dated •Important transition between bicycle and car•Much restoration carried out by experts•Actively used in Team Jarrott and other eventsFootnotes:As early as 1882 Comte Albert De Dion with Trépardoux and Bouton built their first steam carriage at a time of rapid development of powered road transport and in a decade when it was by no means clear whether steam, electricity or the internal combustion engine would gain the upper hand. To the absolute dismay of Trépardoux, De Dion and Bouton favoured the internal combustion engine, developing the World's first successful high revving engines which were initially fitted to tricycles and quadricycles and achieved considerable successes in the new-fangled 19th Century motor sport. Cycle racing was a hugely popular sport in the last two decades of the 19th Century and racing motorised tricycles was a logical progression. The great sporting motorist Charles Jarrott wrote, 'I obtained the greatest pleasure from cycle racing .... then I came within the sphere of motors, and the whole scene changed. The atmosphere of speed enveloped me, and the fascination of motor racing laid hold of me, and on the first possible opportunity I took part in a motor race.' Jarrott raced De Dion tricycles alongside the likes of S. F. Edge and H. O. Duncan, taking part in classic events such as the Paris-Bordeaux – just one of the great City-to-City races. Prospective buyers of this machine should take Jarrott's classic work, Ten Years of Motors and Motor Racing 1896–1906, as their essential reading.The last decade or so has seen a remarkable revival of this Jarrott era, encouraged by the De Dion Bouton Club UK and its leading lights, there have once again been racing events for tricycles, more than 20 examples being amassed for the 120th anniversary event at Brooklands, and other similar events before and since. More recently further limelight for these early vehicles came at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and Tour, a 1900 example being ridden the full 65 miles of the Monterey Peninsula tour. The example offered here arrived in the UK in the early 2000s from France. Initial restoration was started before the project was purchased by the current owner who completed the work both with close attention to detail and the intention of having a reliable machine that could be used in a wide range of road and track events. Over the years it has participated in many UK events, including the Pioneer Run and those track events organised by the De Dion Bouton Club. Over time it has been refined with several upgrades including a fuel tank for longer distance touring, a difficult to find De Dion Bouton spray carburettor, and the addition of a two-speed Bozier type gearbox for ease of starting and more relaxed travel. Recent work carried out on the tricycle from 2016 was entrusted to respected restorers NP Veteran Engineering, for which bills are on file. Following restoration, the tricycle was examined by the Dating Committee of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain and was awarded a full dating certificate for 1898. As offered here today, it is both a very well sorted example, but also an excellent representation of this fascinating chapter of the early motorcar development and motorsport. This Lot is available to view at 101 New Bond Street from Friday 28th October to Friday 4th November during normal business hours For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1904/05 Ford Model C 10hp Twin-Cylinder Side-Entrance Tonneau Registration no. 04WX01 (Republic of Ireland) Engine no. 1815•One of the rarest of early Fords•Twin-cylinder engine•Purchased from the USA in 1990•Formerly part of the Harrah Collection•Offered from a prominent private collection•Running orderFootnotes:Having cut his teeth on a succession of prototypes and race-cars during the 1890s, Henry Ford buckled down to the somewhat less glamorous, yet considerably more profitable, business of mass production. His first volume-produced car - the 8hp Ford Model A runabout - was introduced in July 1903, and by the time of its replacement towards the end of 1904 a total of 670 had been made. The Model A's immediate successor – the Model C – was likewise twin-cylinder powered, while the Model B, another 1904 introduction, was Ford's first four-cylinder automobile and represented a move up market. All models used Ford's planetary transmission, the twins with chain final drive and the four with shaft drive. Production of Models A and C overlapped for a while, and the former could be ordered with the latter's more powerful (10hp) engine fitted, in which form it was known as the 'AC'. A top speed of 38mph was claimed for both cars. Although the Model C looked like a front-engined design, in fact the engine remained under the seat, while opening the bonnet revealed the fuel tank. Although he had a four-cylinder car in the range, Ford was not done yet with the twin-cylinder engine, and introduced a final derivative – the Model F – in 1905. Larger and more luxurious than its predecessors, the Model F was powered by a 16hp engine and carried four-seater phaeton coachwork as standard. The Model C was last produced in 1905 - the final year of the twin-cylinder Ford - during which year a total of 1,599 cars of all types had been made. One of only a tiny handful known in Europe, this example of one of Henry Ford's final twin-cylinder designs was formerly in the Harrah collection where it was restored. The car was purchased for the vendors' prominent private collection in 1990, having previously belonged to one E Long of Columbus Ohio, and has participated in the London-Brighton Run while in the current ownership (see images on file). This car was dated as 1905 by the Veteran Car Club in 1995. More recently the vendor has taken advice from the those within the early Ford world, that knowledge of the practices of Ford during 1904 has advanced a good deal since 1995 and that based on this there is a good chance the car would now be dated as 1904. As such he has re-applied with the VCC to have the car re-dated. Offered in running order, the car comes with a State of Ohio Certificate of Title.Please note that if this vehicle is to remain in the UK, it will be subject to Import VAT at the reduced rate of 5% on the hammer price.

1907 Northern Four-Seat Side-Entrance Tonneau Registration no. ZV 92217 (Republic of Ireland) Chassis no. 2754•Short-lived American make•Twin-cylinder engine•Formerly part of the Nethercutt Collection in Los Angeles, USA•Purchased in 1991•Offered from a prominent private collection•Running orderFootnotes:A short-lived and relatively obscure American make, Northern was founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1902 by two former Olds Motor Works employees: Charles B King and Jonathan D Maxwell. Maxwell designed the Northern's 5hp single-cylinder engine, which powered a car - marketed as the 'Silent Northern' - that perhaps not surprisingly looked a lot like Oldsmobile's Runabout. Northern sold some 300 cars in 1903 and added a twin-cylinder model to the range for 1904, which was followed by a four in 1906. Entrepreneur Benjamin Briscoe had tempted Maxwell away to build his eponymous automobile in 1904, leaving King to shoulder the engineering burden on his own. Northern was noted for its technological innovations, early cars being built with left-hand steering and shaft drive. Air operated brakes and clutch featured on the 1906 four, while in 1908 all controls were mounted on the twin-cylinder Model C limousine's steering column. Changing its name to Northern Motor Car Company in 1906, the firm opened a second factory in Huron to build the twin-cylinder models. The single-cylinder model continued to feature in the range alongside twins of progressively increasing power output and various fours until 1908. In 1908 Northern merged with the Wayne Automobile Company and shortly thereafter both companies' assets were acquired by newly formed E-M-F, thus bringing the Northern brand to an end. In 1907 when this twin-cylinder Northern was built, there were four models in the 20hp Model C twins' line-up built on three different wheelbase lengths with prices ranging from $1,600 (two-seat runabout) to $3,000 (limousine). Formerly part of the Nethercutt Collection in Los Angeles, USA, the car was purchased for the vendors' prominent private collection in 1991 and is offered in running order.Please note that if this vehicle is to remain in the UK, it will be subject to Import VAT at the reduced rate of 5% on the hammer price.

FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (1996) - Seth Gecko's (George Clooney) Hero Vampire-Stake JackhammerSeth Gecko's (George Clooney) hero stake jackhammer from Robert Rodriguez's crime-horror film From Dusk Till Dawn. Gecko fashioned a wooden stake with his knife and inserted it into the head of a jackhammer he found while trapped in a storeroom with the other surviving patrons of the Titty Twister strip club. He then used the jackhammer to kill numerous vampires. The jackhammer is made of fibreglass and cast resin with various metal components. It has a faux wooden stake made of foam, an engine and an air filter. Thick green paint has been applied around its head to simulate coagulated vampire blood. Expertly painted in gold and intentionally distressed, the heavy weight of the jackhammer adds to its realism.

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968) - Light-Up Orion III Replica Model-MiniatureA light-up Orion III replica model miniature from Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi epic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Dr. Heywood Floyd (William Sylvester) travelled to Clavius Base aboard the Orion III spaceplane from Earth.This lot consists of a detailed, custom-made replica model miniature of the Orion III, a display base, and various materials related to its construction, including nine vacuum-forming patterns, 13 mould pieces, and a collection of blueprints and paperwork. The model itself is constructed of vacuum-formed ABS and plexiglass with an aluminium armature plate. It was built using original reference materials to be as accurate as possible, and the build was assisted by 2001 experts Piers Bizony and Simon Atkinson. The piece features a fully-lit cabin interior, navigation and landing lights on the wings, and cockpit lights; the engine lights are present but not currently functional and are not readily accessible for repair. The front lighting systems can be accessed through the model's removable nose section. Initially a commission for the Museum of Science Fiction in Washington D.C., this model also featured in exhibits at the Reagan National Airport and the Maryland Science Centre in Baltimore. The Orion III was also the focus of a special display at Wonderfest 2015 in Louisville, Kentucky. It is believed to be one of the most accurate replicas, if not the most accurate replica, of the original filming model ever created. The included materials from the model's build are enlargements of Simon Atkinson's drawing, a number of vacuum-forming patterns used for the fuselage sections, as well as moulds for items such as the side door, navigational strobes, and the tail spikes. This lot has had minor airbrushed paint touch-ups. As the electronics were designed to run for brief periods only and carry a risk of overheating and potential damage if operated for long durations, the lights should be run only briefly. The patterns and moulds exhibit discolouration from age. Dimensions: 193.25 cm x 91.5 cm x 51 cm (76" x 36" x 20")Special shipping required; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Vampire Severen wore his leather jacket throughout the film. Through its holes and markings, this one screen-matches the climactic scene where Caleb (Adrian Pasdar) tried to run Severen down with a truck, before Severen climbed onto the engine hood and started pulling sections of the engine out. It also matches the film's posters, which feature Severen in his bloodied state.The jacket features a San Diego Leather Jacket Factory label and is labelled size "40". It has been intentionally distressed with cuts and tears, and the left sleeve has been removed. After being hit by the truck, Severen's left arm was massively damaged, and there are holes where a damaged left sleeve would have been attached. The jacket is decorated with various patches and badges, and has been autographed in silver ink by Paxton and Lance Henriksen (Jesse), both of whom have added their character names below their signatures.

THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE (T.V. SERIES, 1984 - 2022) - Toby the Tram Engine DisplayA Toby the Tram Engine display from the long-running children's television show Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. Toby was based on a J70 tram engine, and his main function was to shuttle workers to and from the quarry.

Edward VIII engine turned cigarette case, Birmingham 1936, 117g approx.

A FRENCH LOUIS XVI STYLE ORMOLU MANTEL CLOCK, L. LEROY ET CIE, PARISCIRCA 1900 The circular eight-day bell striking movement with platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the backplate boldly engraved No. 19482 to the upper left hand edge and signed L. Leroy & Cie A Paris to lower edge, the 4.5 inch circular convex white enamel Roman numeral dial further inscribed L. Leroy & Cie, PARIS, 7 Boul'd de la Madeleine to centre and with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with fine scroll-pieced gilt hands set behind convex glazed hinged engine-milled gilt bezel, the case crisply cast and chased with surmount of basket of flowers draped down to a pair of goats each standing on hind legs on top of D-shaped side platforms held aloft by a pair of winged putti, the front with fine Neo-classical panel relief-cast with flaming torch flanked by acanthus scrolls issuing cornucopiae beneath the dial, on D-ended cavetto moulded platform base incorporating panels cast in high relief with fruiting swags over toupe feet.42cm (16.5ins) high, 31cm (12.25ins) wide, 13cm (5ins) deep. The firm of 'Leroy et Cie' can be traced back to 1785 when the business was founded by Basille Charles Le Roy at 60 Galerie de Pierre, Palais Royal, Paris. During the Revolutionary years the firm relocated to 88 Rue de L'Egalite before finally settling at Galerie Montpensier, 13 and 15 Palais Royal. In 1828 Basille Charles died leaving the business to his son, Charles-Louis, who continued producing clocks signed 'Le Roy & Fils' until 1845 when the firm was sold to his former employee Casimir Halley Desfontaines; who in turn was succeeded by his son M. George Halley Desfontaines in 1883. In 1888 M. George Halley died leaving the business to his brother Jules Halley who then took-in as a partner Louis Leroy (apparently no relation to the founders of the firm). In 1899 the firm left Palais Royal and moved to Boulevard de La Madeleine where it continued trading in the hands of various successors until well into the 20th century. The current lot would have been made very shortly after L. Leroy et Cie's relocation to 7 Boulevard de La Madeleine in 1899.Condition Report: Movement has been converted form Brocot-type anchor escapement regulated by a pendulum to platform lever balance escapement. The movement is fully wound and will strike correctly; the going train will run for a couple of seconds before stopping indicating that a clean/service is required. The dial has chipping around the left hand winding hole and a filled hole for the Brocot pendulum regulation (now removed) to the upper margin (above '60'). The front glass is cracked otherwise the case is in good original condition retaining good strong gilding with minimal wear albeit with some patchy discolouration/tarnishing mainly to the rear.Dimensions between winders 5cm, dimensions from winders to centre point of hands 2.5cmThere is no key present with the clock. Condition Report Disclaimer
