° ° Graves, Ada, J - The House by the Railway, first edition, illustrated by Rosa C. Petherick, 8vo, original pictorial boards, ink ownership inscription on front free endpapers, light marginal toning, loss to spine head, extremities rubbed and chipped, The National Sunday School, London, [1896]. Extremely scarce. Note: In 2011, it was claimed that significant sections of E Nesbit's novel ‘’The Railway Children’’, may have been plagiarised from Ada J. Graves's ‘’The House by the Railway’’, which was published in 1896. Ada Graves’s granddaughter claimed that a pivotal scene of children preventing a train crash was taken directly from her grandmother's work, published nine years earlier. In "The House by the Railway," middle-class children from the suburbs move to the countryside with their mother, mirroring the storyline of Bobbie and her siblings, and stop a train from crashing by waving a red jacket. Similarly, they are awarded engraved watches for their bravery. Additional parallels link the two novels, including an episode where a person the children meet on a train has a connection to another character in the story, and both books conclude with an emotional family reunion.

With only 25 units ever produced worldwide and one of only six for the UK-market, this special car merges Aston Martin’s legacy of performance with the style and sophistication of cinema's most iconic spy. To celebrate the release of the 25th James Bond film, No Time to Die, Aston Martin released two exclusive 007 special editions inspired by the cars featured in the film. The DBS 007 Edition and the Vantage 007 Edition, each of which was offered in limited numbers, were carefully designed and crafted by the experts in Aston Martin’s bespoke division - Q by Aston Martin.According to the Aston martin website; 'Strictly limited to just 25 production cars available worldwide and featuring the same specification as the muscular DBS featured in the film, the car has a suitably menacing road presence. Inside, the cockpit of this DBS Superleggera is a dark, brooding, leather-clad environment with flashes of red detailing the outline of the seats. Subtle 007 branding can be found on the door cards, armrest buckle badge and on the rear sub-woofer cover. The car is finished with a sill plaque that recognises it is one of just 25 DBS Superleggera 007 Editions. Built on the foundation of the powerful DBS Superleggera, the 007 Edition boasts a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine, delivering an exhilarating 715bhp.The DBS 007 Edition adds a raft of styling and design enhancements that further elevate its appeal. The car sports special Ceramic Grey exterior paint with the roof, mirror caps, splitter, diffuser and rear Aeroblade IITM featured in black tinted carbon fibre'.On offer here is one of only six UK-supplied 007 DBS Superleggera editions and it's being offered by its only owner. The odometer was showing 2,486 miles at the time of cataloguing and the car was first registered to its current and only owner on 1st April 2021 and has been kept and well maintained in his private Collection ever since.The car boasts Aston Martin service history with the last service taking place on 2nd January 2024 with minimal mileage since. Like Bond, the DBS 007 Edition is both elegant and fierce and owning one of the 25 means owning a piece of cinematic and automotive history.NB: Our vendor has generously agreed to include the Cherished Registration Number, DB11 DBS, as part of the sale.Specification Make: ASTON MARTIN Model: DBS SUPERLEGGERA 007 Year: 2021 Chassis Number: SCFRLHAV8MGR02384 Registration Number: DB11 DBS Transmission: Auto Engine Number: AE31/55502 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 2500 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

Always a rare sight on UK roads, this low-mileage, Scotia White Evo V GSR is offered with a very tempting guide.  Mitsubishi had enjoyed much success in rallying all around the world since 1973 with their Gallant, Lancer and Starion, however in 1992, the decision was made to fully commit to winning the World Rally Championship (WRC). Utilising the best of the technologies established through previous years, including their much refined four-wheel drive S-AWC system (Super-All Wheel Control), the Lancer GSR Evolution model series was launched. True to its name, the series has undergone an ongoing evolution process ever since its introduction, with improvements in engine performance and handling leading to the Evolution II in 1993 and the Evolution III in 1995.Following the introduction of the new Lancer road car model which debuted major improvements in styling and performance, the Lancer GSR Evolution IV was launched in 1996, boasting more power and ever more innovative technology including their new AYC (Active Yaw Control) adaptive handling enhancement system.The Evolution V continued the process with a further increase in engine torque and substantially improved handling thanks to a wider track and upgraded Brembo braking. Its 2-litre, DOHC, intercooler-turbocharged, four-cylinder engine now used an upgraded intercooler, enlarged nozzle area in the twin-scroll turbocharger, lighter pistons, an upgraded radiator and oil-cooler to produce 280bhp. Launched in January 1998 and produced for only a year, the Lancer Evolution V took up the motorsport mantle, at least in terms of the WRC. A new ruling allowing a bigger body gave Mitsubishi the opportunity to extend the previous models platform, increasing brake and wheel size, adding 10mm to its track and displaying, for the first time, flared arches and much more aggressive styling.Its now widely accepted that finding credible examples of the Evolution V is becoming increasingly hard. In Japan, Evos were only produced by the Mitsubishi factory in five basic trims, RS, RS2, GT, GT-A or GSR. This is an exceptionally rare GSR variant, the road-going version of the out and out stripped RS competition edition. Featuring climate-control, electric windows and mirrors, sports seats and alloy wheels, this Scotia White GSR sports the correct Recaro Sports seats and is believed to be one of under 100 produced, making it an exceptionally rare car.Imported from Japan as a Grade 4 car with an impeccable history in 2017, when we understand that that the odometer was converted to miles with certification. It has been within our own vendor's private Collection for the last couple of years. This desirable Evo V comes to sale in superb condition and with such an attractive guide it should readily create a stir amongst JDM collectors.Specification Make: MITSUBISHI Model: EVO V GSR Year: 1998 Chassis Number: CP9A0006060 Registration Number: R583 LVE Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 84082 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: GreyClick here for more details and images

One of just 612 examples supplied to the UK, fitted with Truckman Aerotop rear and superbly presented with just 38,839 miles warranted by the original service book. Offered without Reserve. With an interior reputedly inspired by the Frog Prince fairy tale as a reference to Volkswagen’s partnership with Škoda, the limited edition Felicia Fun was launched in 1997 and produced until 2001, a huge departure from the marque’s usual staid and sensible family vehicles. Built at the Škoda factory in Vrchlabí, Czech Republic, the intention was to produce just 300 units for the UK-market. As much a surprise that Škoda produced the car in the first place was that the car was very well received in the UK-market despite the vehicles design somewhat ill-suited to UK climate. In total 612 cars were sold into the UK.All cars were factory finished in Yellow Fun paint and featured the ingenious sliding rear bulkhead to reveal two folding rear seats which were exposed to the elements. UK buyers thankfully were offered respite from the poor weather with a number of factory optional additional roof combinations, such as the Truckman Aerotop detachable rear hardtop. Fitted with the time-proven 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine with a power output of 73bhp, the Felicia Fun had a top speed of 101mph and could do 0-60mph in 12.5 seconds.Supplied new on 26th July 1999 by Škoda main agent, MJL of Surbiton, Surrey, the interior matched the exterior in what could be described today, retrospectively, as eccentric. Never seen on a Škoda before or since, the fabulously kitsch interior combines the aforementioned frog motif cloth inserts to the seating and matched with yellow leather bolsters, door cards, steering wheel and gear stick. The utilitarian dashboard is brightened by the yellow dials and the odometer reading showed 38,839 miles at the time of cataloguing. The rear cargo area is fitted with wooden strips that show very little signs of wear, as does the rest of the car, which was serviced less than 700 miles ago.Presented to auction with the original and well stamped service book, historical receipts, sales brochure, V5C, a fresh MOT will be issued for the sale, whilst the rather fun (pun intended) private registration number is generously included. It is important to note that constrained by the prior dominance of Soviet doctrine, this whimsical motorcar was designed, built and marketed within a decade of the collapse of the USSR and therefore an interesting entry in the history of the motor car.Specification Make: SKODA Model: FELICIA Year: 1999 Chassis Number: TMBEGF677X7080186 Registration Number: T70 FUN Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 771792AEE Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 38839 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Grey/YellowClick here for more details and images

A very special find, a desirable BRG, late production, pre-injection Mk V Cooper, ordered and purchased brand new by our vendors and just 9,712 miles.   Following the original's demise in 1971, John Cooper sold his own modified Minis under the Mini Cooper name from the mid-1980s before Rover's acquisition of the rights made it possible to officially re-launch the model in July 1990. The new Mini Cooper was based on the Mini 30, the most luxuriously equipped limited edition Mini to date, but fitted with the 1,275cc MG Metro A-Series engine rather than the 30's 998cc unit. The Mini Cooper Mk V, as it became known, remained on carburettors until September 1991 when they were fitted with SPi (single port) throttle body fuel-injection and entitled the Mk VI although non-Cooper cars continued in Mk V spec until the following year.This remarkable little 1991 Rover Mini Cooper 1275 was ordered new by our vendors from Mann Egerton & Co Ltd, 151 Abbey Lane, Leicester, LE4 5QY in desirable British Racing Green and optioned with a factory-fitted sunroof. It was built in mid-summer 1991 and first registered on 1st August 1991, making it one of the last of the Mk V carburettor cars.  Delightfully original, having covered just 9,712 miles from new with its only owner, it has never previously been offered for sale on the open market. It's supplied with its original plastic pouch, Rover Owner Information & Service Record with three stamps in the book, Mini Cooper owners handbook, Rover In Car-Entertainment booklet, AA members handbook 1990/1991, original Rover Service Interval Requirements sheet, old MOT certificates back to 1997, the original spare wheel and toolkit and a spare key. The MOT is valid ('No Advisories') until October 2025 and the car has just been serviced. Sensibly estimated, we encourage your inspection of this special find at our NEC Sale.Specification Make: ROVER Model: MINI COOPER Year: 1991 Chassis Number: SAXXNNAMBBD016040 Registration Number: J340 LAY Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 12A2AG01104637 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 9712 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

A simply superb UK/RHD 930 LE, the highly sought after 'ultimate 930' model; 'Colour to Sample' paintwork and interior, just 20,000 miles, extensive service history and in outstanding condition. First launched at the 1973 Paris Auto Show with production commencing in 1975, the Porsche 911 (930) Turbo was a genuine Supercar which defined both the 1970s and 1980s and was one of the fastest production cars available at that time. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3-litres (eventually 3.3-litres) and of course, turbocharged with technology gleaned from Porsche's 917/30 Can-Am programme. The brakes were also derived directly from the 917. The bodywork received special treatment resulting in one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear 'Tea-tray' spoiler.In 1989, before production of the 911 (930) Turbo was discontinued, Porsche marked the occasion by creating a very special, right-hand drive, limited edition 930 LE - the ultimate Turbo, produced as the last hurrah to a turbo charged era. Starting out as a standard 3.3-litre model, the cars were then sent to the exclusive team at Zuffenhausen who built each example by hand.With just 53 of these cars produced, one for each UK dealership in 1989, a host of bespoke no-cost options were offered including colour-coded wheels, top-tinted windscreen, a choice of colours for interior and exterior, rear-quarter air intake ducts, electric sunroof, heated multi-adjust electric seats, electric sunroof and gold ‘Turbo’ lettering stitched behind the seat. They also came fitted with leather throughout, extending over the seats, dash, centre console and door trims. Topped-off with a 3-spoke steering wheel with a special Porsche crest badge in gold, a feature which is echoed on top of the gear knob, plus a gold plaque with '911 Turbo, 1975-1989 Limited Edition Model' engraving - as recognition of the LE's place in Porsche 911 history.Further features include electrically adjustable Sports seats with heating, electric tilt and slide sunroof, climate control, Becker Mexico radio/CD, rear wiper, and a 180mph speedometer. On the outside, the LE cars are visually very striking with the poster pin-up wide bodywork and big rear wing. The side intake strakes and deep front spoiler (with additional oil cooler) follow the styling of the low-build (Flachbau) SE model. Similarly, the LE utilises the 330bhp 3.3-litre engine of the SE, hence a larger turbo charger, higher lift camshafts, higher boost pressure, larger intercooler and quad exhaust system and the transmission is the G50 5-speed manual gearbox with short shift and the optional M220 limited-slip diff.At the time of production, Porsche had no plans to turbocharge the incoming 964, so it was believed that the LE would indeed be the final forced induction model to leave the Stuttgart factory. The price was an eye-watering £84,500, a full 50% more than the average house price at the time!The car presented here is one of those 53 examples, a 1989 Porsche 911 (930) LE which was delivered new via Porsche Centre JCT Brooklands, being first registered on 24th August 1989. Being such a ‘halo model’ for the marque, this car went one stage further and was specified with ‘Colour to Sample’ paintwork (in this case Gletscherblau Metallic) and interior which, according to Porsche, means ‘an exclusive option that opens up a virtually limitless palette of colours for your Porsche’Being an LE, the car’s Optional Equipment list runs to over 20 items – Porsche literally gave an LE the 'works' (see the attached image of the Porsche COE for the full list), the highlights being: the now iconic LE rear intake ducts, an additional oil cooler, modified engine 930/66, limited-slip differential, and sports seats.This exceptional Porsche has only covered 19,992 miles from new, verified by the car’s accompanying original servicing booklet, routinely carried out (with corresponding stamps) up to 18,537 miles and by numerous old MOT Certificates.In 2012/13 the car (then with 19,629 miles) was sold by Border Reivers, the UK’s largest supplier of classic Porsches and Scotland’s oldest independent classic Porsche dealer. It has since formed part of a significant Collection of very special cars, sharing a professional storage facility with the great and the good. A change of circumstances now mean that this highly rated Porsche is available once again. In preparation for sale, a comprehensive recommissioning service was lavished on the car, costing some £5,600.Iconic Auctioneers (formerly Silverstone Auctions) have been privileged to offer and sell a few 930 LE examples over the years - the last one, with 25,000 miles, achieved £240,000 - but you can see why – all the ingredients are there.This rare Turbo LE was the culmination of the 930 Turbo's 14 years of production and as a result, is probably the best developed iteration of this model, making it highly collectible today. This is one of the best Turbo LEs we’ve had the pleasure of offering and we urge you to come and see the car in the metal.Specification Make: PORSCHE Model: 911 930 TURBO LE Year: 1989 Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZKS000826 Registration Number: G142 JUA Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 67K00959 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 19977 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

#50 of 60 special 60th Anniversary Plus Four Super Sports models, uniquely presented in Gulf Motorsport colours. The Morgan Plus 4 was the company’s most popular model since its launch in 1950 and represented the sweet spot within Morgan’s diverse and celebrated range of models, possessing more power and performance than the contemporary 4/4, whilst retaining a level of fuel economy that made it ideal for long-distance touring. A versatile and well-balanced sports car, the Plus four became a Morgan institution, before being superseded by the all-new Plus Four in 2020.Chris Lawrence and Richard Shepherd-Barron’s admirable win in the 2-litre GT Class at the1962 24 Hours of Le Mans driving a Plus Four was the inspiration for Morgan’s creative marketing department to suggest a limited edition 60th Anniversary model based on their then current third generation, 2-litre Duratec-powered Plus Four. Only 62 examples (1962) would be built each, carrying a numbered metal plaque displaying the unique build number and would feature a number of design/styling cues from the Le Mans winner.On offer here we have car #50 which has been owned and enjoyed by our vendor since 2017 and has covered just over 19,400 miles from new. It’s finished in Iris Blue (one of the six ‘launch’ colours available) which is very similar to Gulf Blue (328), an early 1970s Porsche colour adopted by Gulf Oil Motorsport, with Gulf Orange (019), as their signature colours. The Morgan’s first owner chose to enhance the Iris Blue bodywork with orange detailing and Gulf decals and we believe that this is the only 60th Anniversary car so finished.#50 is powered by a 2-litre, 16v, variable cam, four-cylinder running Jenvey throttle bodies and offering 200bhp. Motorsport underpinnings comprise an LSD, Panhard rod, uprated exhaust system, shock absorbers, anti-tramp bar, brake reaction bars, an aluminium front under tray, and black Minilite centre-lock wheels with 3-eared spinnersOther features include black leather heated (on a Morgan!) bucket seats with embossed headrests, engraved Banjo steering wheel, Tawny-wood dashboard, net door pockets and glovebox, stop-watch timing clocks, a heated screen, Pioneer stereo with USB input, an 'Anniversary Plus Four Super Sports' numbered badge, bonnet scoop with full louvres and bonnet pins, flat back panel with louvres and a Le Mans filler cap. Inclement weather is kept at bay by a 9-stud screen and hood and a Tonneau cover.Above its normal servicing, the Morgan had a full nut and bolt and electrical check-over in August 2019 by marque specialist, Richard Thorne and again in 2023 when a new clutch master cylinder was fitted. More recently it’s also had plugs, a new ECU and the throttle bodies balanced.Surely one of the most evocative Morgans of recent years with sound motorsport provenance and ready to be enjoyed.Specification Make: MORGAN Model: PLUS FOUR Year: 2012 Chassis Number: SA94420K2B5004773 Registration Number: CN12 FKE Transmission: Manual Engine Number: E3962029JP Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 19409 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black leatherClick here for more details and images
