David Scott A pair of Hadley-Apennine landing site views as photographed from the top hatch of the Lunar Module after touchdown, and during the first and the only stand-up EVA from the top hatch of the Lunar Module ever performed on the Moon 31 July 1971 Two vintage gelatin silver prints on fibre-based paper, each 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in), BLACK NUMBERED NASA AS15-85-11363 and AS15-85-11379 in top margins (NASA Manned Spacecraft Center) Footnotes: Two very rare frames showing two major features of the Hadley-Apennine landing site: the giant Mount Hadley (4,500m) whose summit is barely visible (top right, first photograph) due to the long shadow of the lunar morning and St George Crater on the flank of mount Hadley Delta (second photograph). Following touchdown, Scott and Irwin gave the scientists in Houston a thorough description of the surrounding moonscape and, rather than restricting themselves to the views out the forward-facing windows, they donned helmets and gloves for what was known as a 'Stand-up EVA'. They bled all the air out of the cabin then Scott opened the overhead hatch. Standing on the ascent engine cover with his upper body outside the spacecraft and bracing himself in the opening he took a series of pictures all the way round the horizon with the Hasselblad 70-mm camera.

Lot 229

One man’s passion for over 50 years and now in need of a sympathetic hand to return it to top form.UK-supplied, right-hand drive DHC originally finished in Pastel Blue with Navy Blue leather and a Dark Blue HoodLaycock overdrive and wire wheels from new. Now painted in Triumph Sebring WhiteOwned by the late Harry Neville Harris (and family) since 20/07/1966Last MOT’d in 2005 at 70,034 miles. Large history file, displaying many years of care and enthusiasmA real Barn Find. Whilst complete with resident cobwebs, muck and dust, the car does appear to have been well stored and seems to be a fairly solid basis for restorationWith XK Jaguars remaining as popular as ever, PWT 777 on offer at No Reserve seems an unmissable opportunity.Jaguar Cars launched the XK140 at the London Motor Show in October 1954 with a raft of improvements over its predecessor, the landmark XK120. The styling was enhanced by a revised grille and larger bumpers along with new rear lights, which now incorporated the indicators. The handling was improved by rack and pinion steering and telescopic dampers and the interior space was enlarged to allow the addition of occasional rear seats. The power unit remained Jaguar's well-proven, 3.4-litre, twin-cam six, which now produced 190bhp in standard trim thanks to higher-lift camshafts and revised porting. To ensure reliability, steel bearing caps replaced the previous cast-iron type. A close-ratio gearbox enabled better use to be made of the increased performance whilst a Laycock de Normanville overdrive became an option for the first time. Special Equipment (SE) XK140s came with wire wheels and Lucas fog lamps and could be ordered with an engine developing 210bhp courtesy of a 'C'-type cylinder head.From Jaguar records we can establish that this venerable XK140 DHC was built in right-hand drive on 20/06/1955, finished in Pastel Blue with Navy Blue leather and a Dark Blue Hood. It was fitted with a Laycock overdrive and wire wheels from new and distributed through Appleyards in Leeds before being first registered on 30/06/1955.On offer from a deceased estate, this lovely XK was bought by the late Harry Neville Harris in 1966 (logbook stamped 20/07/1966) and has remained within his family ever since. The most recent MOT is dated 3rd September 2005 with the mileage stated as 70,034 and it’s understood that it was parked up not too long afterwards.At some point in the late eighties, Mr Harris appears to have been researching the history of the car prior to his purchase but without much success. He wrote to a lot of people (correspondence in the file) and a promising communication from the DVLC detailing previous owners is missing the vital page. There is a letter to an Edward Graves from whom Harry appears to have bought the car and the old ‘Buff’ logbook shows that Ralph A Clarke of Lowestoft is registered as the first owner (November 1963) and there is a letter on file from Jaguar to R A Clarke dated July ‘63 so he certainly owned it at that point. An HPI report in January shows just one former keeper before its transfer to Mr Harris's son in 2018, although this would appear to be incorrect. Another part of the mystery is that prior to Harry’s ownership the car was painted Triumph Sebring White, the colour it wears today. With its distinctive registration number (PWT 777) it should be possible to trace the car’s early life and it could be a fun project for its new owner.The substantial History File covers some 55 years with the family and includes rafts of photographs, MOTs, years of invoices, Buff and Green logbooks, Parts List, Wiring diagram, the original Maintenance/Service Handbook and even a fuel ration book which one would assume relates to the Suez crisis.Our vendor is not able to confirm that the Jaguar is a matching numbers car, there may have been an engine swap in the 1980s, and we hope to confirm this, one way or another, however, it seems that the car was finally parked in 2006 due to a clutch issue that would have required engine removal which doesn’t appear to have happened. This is a bit of a ‘Barn Find’, however, whilst complete with resident cobwebs, muck and dust, the car does appear to have been well-stored and seems to be a fairly solid basis for restoration.With XK Jaguars remaining as popular as ever, this original UK RHD project on offer at No Reserve seems an unmissable opportunity. SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK140 DROPHEADYear: 1955Chassis Number: 807181DNTransmission: MANUALEngine Number: G36288Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 71000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Highly sought-after example retaining a lovely original feel.Supplied by BMW Park Lane and first registered on 27/04/1973Number 306 of the 500 UK right-hand drive examplesFinished in Chamonix White with a black interiorOnly three owners in total (first two were Father and Son)Fully restored in 1984. Engine and running gear rebuilt in 1996In a ‘Carcoon’ from 2005 until 2020. Recommissioned and prepared for sale during last year79,900 miles, MOT/Tax exempt and ready for inspectionThese rare cars are highly sought-after worldwide and this low-ownership example retains a lovely original ‘feel’Visually indistinguishable from its more 'run of the mill' relations, the CS and CSi, the 3.0 CSL (Coupé Sport Leicht) was creative homologation at its best. Success in motorsport sells cars, and the marketing department's requirements led BMW engineers to develop a limited-production 'homologation special' to meet the constrictive framework of the ‘Group 2’ racing class regulations at the time. By removing the trim and using thinner steel for the main bodyshell; aluminium alloy for the doors, bonnet and, boot lid; and Perspex for the side windows, a valuable 300lbs (136kgs) in weight was saved – 'Leicht' indeed.Mechanically, these cars were almost identical to the fuel-injected CSi (which meant 200bhp and 140mph plus) but to take it into the over-3litre class, the engines were bored out slightly to 3003cc. Equipped with all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front/semi-trailing arm rear), disc brakes and responsive steering, it was wonderfully balanced. Very expensive when new (several hundred pounds more than a 2.7 RS 9110 CSLs are now the most highly coveted BMW of the 1970s with a fabulous competition record.We understand that only1,039 CSLs were built in total with 500 of these finished in right-hand drive for BMW UK. Offered here is number 306 ( #2285306) of the 500 cars built for the UK. It has been enjoyed by only three owners and the first two were father and son. Finished in Chamonix White with a black interior, it was supplied new by BMW Park Lane in Mayfair to its first owner, a Mr. Knight of Bury St. Edmunds. In 1984, it was passed on to his son Jeremy who, in the early nineties, instructed Ron Davis of Bacton Suffolk to fully restore the car. He used his sparkling CSL for many years before eventually asking Munich Legends to offer it for sale and it was purchased by our vendor from there in 1996. He immediately commissioned a full rebuild of the engine and running gear and he used the car regularly until 2005 when it was stored in its dehumidified cocoon. At the beginning of 2020 he decided to recommission the car and fitted a new radiator, three new injectors and went through the fuelling system including refurbishing the tank. In addition, a new clutch slave cylinder was fitted, the gearbox and differential were drained and refilled, new anti-roll bar bushes were fitted front and rear, the brakes were overhauled including some new pipes and servos/cylinders and some remedial paintwork was carried out to boot lid and doors.The current indicated mileage is 79,900, it dates from 1973 so is MOT/TAX exempt and comes with its original service book.On offer from caring private ownership and guided very sensibly, considering recent results for similar cars, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a low ownership, low mileage classic seventies 'homologation special'. Highly sought after around the world, we recommend a personal inspection of this classic BMW.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: 3.0 CSLYear: 1973Chassis Number: 2285306Engine Number: 2285306Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDClick here for more details and images
