We are also delighted to include Tom Murray's brand new and exclusive chronicle of his time working with The Beatles. The 120-page limited edition 'Tom Murray's Mad Day Out' is a fascinating insight on his work with the Fab Four as well as a tome of life in the 'Swinging Sixties'.This is the first ever book chronicling the photographs and the stories behind each one on 'that mad day'. This is a direct to fan only edition (GOLD), is presented in a slipcase with every copy of the edition personally signed and numbered by Tom.With a print run of just 1,000, and not available in the shops, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of history from a fascinating photographer and charity advocate.Donated by Tom Murray

1995 Subaru Impreza Series McRae - Number 170 of just 200 cars built to celebrate Colin McRae's victory on the 1994 RAC Rally (the first by a British driver since 1976) - Special Mica Blue paintwork, Recaro front seats (complete with Series McRae motifs) and Le Mans / Avus fabric inserts to the upholstery and door cards - 73,400 recorded miles and MOT'd into May 2018 It was in June 1995 that, to commemorate Colin McRae's victory on the 1994 RAC Rally (the first by a British driver since 1976) , Subaru sanctioned a 200-strong limited edition of its WRX model. Prepared by Prodrive, who also built the all-conquering competition cars, each one was finished in `Rally Blue' and featured Gold-coloured 16 inch alloy wheels, McRae decals, factory-fitted electric tilt/slide sunroof, and Recaro front seats. The as-original example now offered is number 170 of the 200 and comes complete with a comprehensive service record and the benefit of a £7,000 main dealer garage visit as recently as May this year, during which: the engine was refurbished to OEM specification, the suspension and steering overhauled, and a new rear exhaust installed. `N434 BCE' has also been treated to replacement brake discs and calipers, refurbishment of the wheels, and a degree of remedial paintwork. Displaying 73,400 miles and offered with an MOT into May 2018 the vendor now grades the engine, gearbox, and Black/Blue interior trim as `excellent', and the bodywork and paintwork as `very good'. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)
2001 Subaru Impreza P1 - No. 827 of 1,000 made (of which just c.320 are currently taxed for road use) - Warranted 68,800 miles from new and cambelt last changed 600 miles ago - Original owner's wallet / handbooks, claimed 0-60mph in 4.66 seconds and 155mph! "Ordinary Impreza Turbos sort of tweak playfully with the edges of the laws of physics. The P1 sits down and rewrites them" (CAR Magazine). Aerodynamically honed by Peter Stevens of McLaren F1 fame and based around a lighter / stiffer two-door bodyshell, the limited edition P1 had more in common with the legendary 22B than its lesser four-door Subaru Impreza WRX siblings. Developed especially for British roads by the company which helped Colin McRae, Richard Burns and Petter Solberg become World Rally Champions, the Prodrive One was intended to counter a wave of 'grey import' STI Type R cars coming over from Japan. More relaxing and forgiving to pilot than a Type R thanks to taller gearing, more compliant suspension and ABS brakes, the 280PS / 343Nm P1 was nonetheless capable of 0-60mph in 4.66 seconds and 155mph. First registered as 'AE51 HVY' to Donalds Garage Ltd of Peterborough on 5th September 2001, Chassis 827/1000 served as their demonstrator for some three months before being acquired by its first private keeper Ray Brammer Esq. A motor engineer and rally driver who subsequently campaigned an Impreza WRC car, Mr Brammer initially serviced the P1 himself before entrusting its maintenance to the Terrington Service Station of King's Lynn. Although, not main dealers the latter were rally preparation specialists and Subaru exponents. Last treated to a cambelt change and new spark plugs at 68,230 miles (just 600 miles ago), the Subaru felt both indecently rapid and exceptionally sure-footed during a recent test drive. Riding on 'Prodrive by O.Z.' 17-inch alloy wheels, 'AE51 HVY' appears to be highly original even retaining its 'engine cool down' sticker atop the driver's door card. Twice bought by Mr Brammer, the P1 has effectively had just two private registered keepers and is offered for sale with original book pack, stamped service book, P1 booklets and MOT certificate valid until October 2017. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)
