- Off the road for twenty-three years before entering the current ownership in 1971 as a rolling chassis- Engine found to contain bespoke 'hot' camshaft and Castrol R when restoration commenced and thus thought to have had past competition usage- Re-bodied in the style of the Fox & Nicholl Team Car that Lewis / Hindmarsh drove to 7th overall during the 1934 Le Mans 24-hours- Unofficially timed at 106mph and used for countless Continental tours- Recent engine overhaul and 'on the button'A Singer enthusiast through and through, the vendor purchased this particular example - originally a 1933 14hp model - from its previous keeper some forty-five years ago. Taken off the road in 1947 and left exposed to the elements, the Singer's bodywork had rotted away but its chassis and running gear remained intact (albeit they had become entangled in a hedgerow which had grown up around them). Once back in his Lake District workshop, the vendor began to strip down and refurbish his new acquisition. Intrigued by the presence of Castrol R (R for Racing) oil in the engine not to mention a decidedly non-standard camshaft, he thought it likely that the 2-litre OHV straight-six unit had had a competition past. Knowing Fox & Nicholl of Tolworth, Surrey had not only been supplied with three 1¢ litre Le Mans cars by the Singer Works for the 1934 season but also enlarged one of the engines to 2 litres, he began to wonder whether his powerplant had any link to their endeavours. Speaking at length to the first owner's nephew revealed the car had been fitted with a new engine just before WW2 and that his uncle had gone to 'somewhere near London to pick up an engine, gearbox and front axle from a crashed 2-litre Sports Singer'. Whether the somewhere near London was Tolworth remains unknown. However, a measuring tape showed the front axle to be wider than a standard 14hp assembly and the presence of twin carburettors, with proper provision for them, cast and bolted to the head was another anomaly. No standard 2-litre Singer 'six' of 1934 had twin carbs . . . but the racer did. Despite much dogged detective work which saw him contact the National Motor Museum, Chrysler (owner of Singer in the early 1970s), Richard Jury and Larry Gains (both mechanics with Fox & Nicholl during the early 1930s) and Bill Arnold (company secretary to Fox & Nicholl in period), the vendor was never able to prove a tangible link between his modified 14hp and the Tolworth-based firm.Nevertheless, he decided to replicate the distinctive torpedo coachwork worn by 'BPG 333' - the Fox & Nicholl entered Singer 1¢ Litre that finished seventh overall at the 1934 Le Mans 24-hours - when re-bodying his car. Put back on the road in 1976, the two-seater has been well exercised and much enjoyed over the past 40 years with the vendor and his wife undertaking several 5,000-mile plus tours of Europe aboard it. Taking part in the 75th Anniversary of the Ards Tourist Trophy Races during 2003 and journeying to Le Mans Classic with the Singer Owners' Club in 2008, the latter trip came after a radiator recore, carburettor refurbishment and the renewal of the gearbox bearings etc. While 2013 saw the steering box reconditioned, the front springs reset and the brakes attended to. A thorough engine overhaul followed in 2014 including a reground crankshaft, refaced flywheel, stitch-repaired and rebored / refaced block and six new Arias forged pistons. Reassembled with new valves / guides / springs / gaskets / timing chains / bottom and cam sprockets plus a rejuvenated distributor, the straight-six had covered some 500 running-in miles and been treated to an oil change by May 2015. Finished in 'Fox & Nicholl' Red with Black leather upholstery, the Singer's detailing extends to a turned aluminium dashboard (complete with Le Mans plaque), passenger grab handle, quick release radiator and fuel filler caps and auxiliary driving lights. Starting readily upon inspection and fitted with a taller than standard rear axle ratio, the two-seater has been unofficially timed at 106mph. Perhaps eligible for Le Mans Classic? not to mention a host of VSCC events, this delightful Singer 2 Litre Fox & Nicholl Team Car Evocation was featured in the January 1983 edition of Classic & Sportscar magazine (a copy of which remains in its history file as does a MOT certificate valid until June 2017).

- 1 of just 12 AM90 chassis bodied to this design by Offord and the sole known survivor- Extensively restored during the current nine-year ownership with much work done by recognised marque specialists: Arthur Archer, Fopp d'Hane and Ian Polson- Large history file and enjoyed on numerous Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq Register rallies to Ireland, throughout England and other club events in France"The 1930 Le Mans race is often remembered for the struggle in which one Mercedes defeated the Blower Bentleys but was itself vanquished by the 6¢s, whereas the most telling, and also the most significant performance, historically, came from the brace of Talbot 90s which finished third and fourth, ahead of all but two Speed Sixes. Using a plain unsupercharged production engine of only 2? litres, with pushrod overhead valves, not overhead camshaft, and fitted with a single carburettor, they beat every Bentley below 6¢ litres, together with the 38/250 Mercedes, Earl Howe's supercharged twin-cam Alfa Romeo and a 5-litre Stutz. Somewhat naturally they won the Indice de Performance. The great Charles Faroux called their performance stupefiant, and he was right. Not only were the two Talbots tremendously fast and reliable, they were practically silent as well, making no more fuss than a rolled umbrella" (D.B. Tubbs, `The Talbots 14/45 - 110' Profile Publications).Capitalising on the success of the Fox & Nicholl Team Cars at Le Mans, Talbot are understood to have built some 216 examples of the 90. Available with a choice of wheelbase lengths, the model was underpinned by a substantial ladder frame chassis featuring all-round leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Developing up to 93bhp, its advanced 2276cc straight-six OHV engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission (though, later versions could be had with a four-speed pre-selector gearbox). Potential buyers could choose from a range of factory bodystyles or employ the services of an independent coachbuilder. Regardless of the coachwork worn, most 90s were capable of the 90mph top speed that their name implied. An understandably popular choice with sporting motorists, the Talbot enjoyed continued competition success as a privateer entry at events such as the Irish GP, Ards TT and Brooklands thanks to the efforts of Bill Esplen ('GN 5872') and the Burt brothers ('GO 1568') etc.A genuine AM90 Speed Model, 'GP 6096' is understood to be one of just twelve such chassis to be fitted with Close Coupled Drophead Coupe coachwork by Offord and indeed the sole known survivor (although, a very similar car which was built under sub-contract by Carlton still exists). According to its copy factory build record, chassis 30000 was erected on 1st January 1931 and as such is accepted by the Vintage Sports Car Club as being of Vintage manufacture (which in turn allows it to run with other pre-1931 machinery in VSCC events). The AM90 is accompanied by a very large and interesting history file which chronicles the last six decades of its life. Thought to have belonged to Mr D. English during the mid-1950s, other keepers have included Mr Williamson, Mr John Gray, Mr Brian Fidler, Mr Peter Theobald, Mr Peter Sutcliffe, Mr Gillie Andrew, Mr Tim Wadeson, Mr Michael Manning and, since 2007, the vendor. Mr Gray was the Sunbeam Talbot Darracq Register's secretary and there is a photo on file of him showing none other than Georges Roesch over 'GP 6096' (the 90 engine was reputedly Roesch's favourite among all those he designed for Talbot). Mr Theobald took the Close Coupled Drophead Coupe to Rhodesia in 1968 and thereafter it relocated to South Africa. Mr Sutcliffe used the four-seater for a long distance rally during his brief tenure (1977-1978) and Mr Wadeson finally repatriated the AM90 to the UK in the early 2000s. Substantially improved during the seller's custodianship, chassis 30000 has benefited from a thorough engine overhaul (reground crankshaft with shell bearings, Arrow rods, new pistons, new timing gears and new oil pump gears etc) plus the installation of a down draught carburettor, freeflow exhaust and new dynastart bearings (the unit having been otherwise rejuvenated for a previous keeper) all of which was carried out by marque specialists Arthur Archer and Foppe d'Hane. Further boasting a 'New Zealand' cartridge oil filter conversion, solid state voltage regulator, correct complete new 'wet' radiator and halogen headlights, the Talbot was entrusted to marque specialist Ian Polson for a back axle refurbishment and new petrol tank. Foppe d'Hane restored the wooden body support frame as necessary before the coachwork was treated to a bare metal respray in Dark Blue. Re-upholstered in contrasting Light Blue, the interior is protected by a new Black double duck hood. Riding on fresh tyres, this rare and potent Roesch Talbot is only being offered for sale because a shoulder injury makes its right-hand manual gearchange awkward for the vendor. A delightful and seemingly very well sorted motorcar, it has conveyed him on numerous STD Register Tours around the UK and to Ireland and France etc. Offered for sale with the aforementioned history file, bills substantiating the work undertaken and an original first edition handbook and spares list, 'GP 6096' is summed up as 'a very rare and very usable car with wind-up windows and relaxed cruising ability'.

The Charity Shield In recognition of the 50th anniversary of 1966, a milestone in English Football when England won the FIFA World Cup, Thomas Lyte have re-built the retired Charity Shield. www.thomaslyte.com/the-charity-shield. The fourth edition of the Charity Shield, a unique object in its own right, has been handcrafted by an expert team of silversmiths to raise money for the Bobby Moore Fund, Cancer Research UK. www.cancerresearchuk.org/support-us/become-a-partner/our-charity-partners/bobby-moore-fund The Charity Shield will be sold at a live auction to be conducted by Graham Budd of Graham Budd Auctions, the specialist auctioneer of sports memorabilia. The sale is taking place at the Royal Garden Hotel, High Street Kensington, London, on the evening of Monday 10th October at 9.30pm. You can bid for this piece of football history by live online bidding through www.the-saleroom.com/grahambudd. There are no auctioneer's fees, live internet bidding fees or VAT to pay. What you bid is what you pay. The new trophy is hand spun from 4.2kg Sterling 925 Silver. Standing an impressive 58cm squared, the trophy underwent the painstaking process of casting, hand chasing, hand engraving and polishing, with over 130 craft hours used to make this stunning piece. It is a perfect replica of the 1908 trophy which remains in The FA’s possession at Wembley. This incredible piece of craftsmanship is not only an iconic symbol of sportsmanship and the game of football, but the purpose of creation lies in fundraising for the Bobby Moore Fund. The fourth edition of the Charity Shield will be sold with all of the money raised going to the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK, in doing so, replicating the original inspiration of the Charity Shield in 1908, which sought to give something back. Over the past few months the Shield has been on a journey across the UK, appearing at some of sports most inconic events, such as The Community Shield Final. On the final leg of its journey, it is being housed at the National Football Museum in Manchester for all sports fans to enjoy until the day of the auction on 10th October. Founded in 1908 as a successor to the Sheriff of London Charity Shield, the F.A. Charity Shield began as contest between the respective champions of the Football League and the Southern League. The first encounter was between Manchester United and Queen’s Park Rangers. The format changed and eventually became a match between the reigning League Champions and F.A. Cup winners, although not exclusively if for example a team had won ‘the double. In February 2002, the competition and trophy was renamed the FA Community Shield. The then-FA marketing director Paul Barber noted this was in order to reward the work of those contributing to the game, who go unnoticed: "The most important thing is that the many good causes that have benefited from the shield in the past will continue to benefit from the Community Shield in the future." The FA also intended to prevent any interference made by the Charity Commission into where money raised by the game should go. Because the central silver roundel of the Shield was inscribed with the name of the competition “Football Association Charity Shield”, a new trophy had to be commissioned for the Community Shield and the existing trophy had to be retired. The retired trophy actually had a brief life as it had only been built and used for the Charity Shields of 1999, 2000 and 2001, and had been a replacement for the earlier edition which was retired because the silver was in a perilous state through repeated cleaning by proud recipients over the decades. This version remains the property of the Football Association. The winners of the replacement edition were Arsenal in 1999, then in 2000 by Chelsea in the last Charity Shield played at the old Wembley Stadium. In 2001, and at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Liverpool were the last team to lift the “Charity Shield”, with Arsenal the first winners of the “Community Shield in 2002”. The central roundel from the Shield retired in February 2002 was removed and generously donated by the Football Association for the rebuild by Thomas Lyte and is the centerpiece of this magnificent object being offered here for auction to benefit the Bobby Moore Fund, Cancer Research UK. Greg Dyke, chairman of The FA said: “The FA was pleased to donate the centrepiece of the 2002 FA Charity Shield to Thomas Lyte to support the Bobby Moore Fund. Bobby was a Charity Shield shared-winner with West Ham in 1964 and it is an entirely fitting tribute to him that the Thomas Lyte trophy is to be auctioned to raise money for the charity set up in his name. The auction will be an important event in the calendar of activities taking place this year, to recognise the achievements of Bobby Moore and the 1966 team in winning the World Cup 50 years ago.”
