A 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector's Edition, registration number EYA 128X, silver beige. The 1982 CE was created as a limited runout special to commemorated the end of C3 production. Only 6,759 were manufactured, and all featured the 200 hp Crossfire fuel injected 5.7 litre V8 engine, the 700-R4 automatic transmission, the unique silver beige coachwork (code 59), bonnet and body decals and pinstriping, silver beige leather interior, door cards, leather steering wheel, quality uprated carpets, targa glass roof panels, lifting glass hatchback (a first for any Corvette) and alloy wheels. This particular example has only covered 19,000 miles from new. The vendor imported the Corvette in 1988 having travelled to America to purchase the car with two others from Viscone Motors, Broadway, Sangus MA. When purchased the recorded mileage was only 17,000 miles. During the vendor's ownership the Corvette has mainly been in storage with the car seeing limited use up to 2002 (MOT on file) and a further period of storage until 2016 when the Corvette was recommissioned at a cost of £5,000 and a new MOT was issued. The Corvette is offered with a history file containing original American documentation, photographs of the car at the American dealership, original brochures, maintenance receipts and expired MOTs. This extremely low mileage Collector's Edition Corvette now offers a wonderful opportunity to obtain what may be the lowest mileage example on the British market. ***V5 (not V5C)***, MOT to June 2017 See illustrations

A box of 33 early and First Edition Beatrix Potter books (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: All these books are early editions, however the condition of some are poor and many of the identifiers are missing. For example spines, frontis etc. However the following are first editions but are in poor condition. “The Tale of Two Bad Mice” - end papers match Quinby Plate II - 1904 on the front title page - and publisher stated as “Frederick Warne and Co”. “The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck” - end papers match Quinby Plate IV - 1908 on the front title page - publisher “Frederick Warne and Co”. “The Tale of Jeremy Fisher” - The first two printings are identical. This has Quinby plate III dated correctly however I believe this may well be a 1906 first edition but second or third printing. “The Tailor of Gloucester” - is possibly a first edition. Correct date and publisher. However it is missing back flyleaf and front flyleaf looks to be replaced. As a first edition should have a Quinby Plate I end papers on both flyleaves and front and back inside covers. We have used the Bibliographical checklist by Jane Quinby and A History of the Writings of Beatrix Potter - By Leslie Linder. Of the 33 books five books have the date on the title page. Also “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” has 58 pages.
