He caught the attention of Sir Henry Lawrence, Resident at Nepal and later Lahore, and gained military experience in the Punjab, culminating in a series of ingenious decisions that led to the defeat of the rebel Diwan Mulraj in 1849. In the run-up to the Mutiny, Edwardes negotiated a treaty with Dost Mohammed that stabilized relations with Afghanistan during the 1850s. He was made KCSI in 1866, and died in 1868.For a group of ephemera comprising journals, scrapbooks and a commonplace book relating to Edwardes and his activities, see the sale in these rooms, India and Beyond in Books and Photography, 26th October 2007, lot 40.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

D. Cunningham (1812-51) was, as the title page has it, 'Late Captain of Engineers'. In 1837 he was appointed assistant to Colonel Claude Wade, the political agent for the Sikhs, and held various positions in the Punjab until 1845. When the first Anglo-Sikh War began in December of that year he was attached to the staff of Sir Charles Napier and then to that of Sir Hugh Gough, Commander-in-chief in India. He was present at the battles of Buddawal (22 January 1846) and Aliwal (28 January 1846). At Sobraon (10 February 1846), he served as an additional aide-de-camp to the Governor-General, Sir Henry Hardinge. Later he was political agent to the state of Bhopal from 1846 to 1850.The first edition of A History of the Sikhs contained criticism of Hardinge's actions in the conduct of the Anglo-Sikh War and this led to Cunningham's dismissal from the political service. The second edition appeared in 1853 after Cunningham's death at the age of 38 (which was supposed to have been partially caused by this disgrace).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 220
A UK-market car from 20 years ownership, fastidiously maintained, subtly enhanced and just 17,500 miles. By 1997, rallying had captured the imagination of petrolheads all over the world and Mitsubishi sold 6,000 Evolution IVs in the first three days of its launch! In quick succession, the Lancer Evolution VI came to be and in the latter-half of 1999, Mitsubishi unleashed a special edition to celebrate its favourite son’s four consecutive WRC drivers' titles from 1996-1999 - the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI 'Tommi Mäkinen Edition' (TME). The Evolution VI was already a technological tour de force, but the TME had a more responsive titanium turbocharger, uprated and lowered suspension, quicker steering, a different exhaust, a new ECU, beefed-up transfer case internals, a redesigned front bumper and authentic 17" WRC Enkei alloy wheels. There was a special interior featuring embossed Recaro seats, a MOMO steering wheel and red stitching. The performance upgrades saw the 0-60mph time down to 4.4 seconds and a maximum top speed of 150mph. Power was rumoured to be over 300bhp, rather than the 276bhp 'agreement'.Widely regarded as the finest Lancer to wear the Evolution badge, it was now available in five colours, with Passion Red and Canal Blue joining Scotia White, Pyrenean Black and Satellite Silver. Only 250 TMEs (across the five colours) were officially imported into the UK, with 100 examples going to Australia and the rest sold domestically in the Japanese market. Official figures show that of the UK's allocation, only 50 examples were in Canal Blue, perhaps the more discreet colour for a TME.The car presented here is one of those in Canal Blue, so not only is it a genuine Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition (CP9A/SNGF2) car, but it is also an official UK-market example. This means it was officially imported by Mitsubishi-affiliated Ralliart UK and consequently it would have been professionally SVA'd. It's supplied with UK service books, a calibrated speedometer, an unleaded-spec fuel restrictor, cold-climate battery and an alternator, plus it is individually numbered with a plaque in the cabin, reading #119.It was supplied new through Ralliart Mitsubishi Motors/Colt Car Company Ltd of Gloucestershire and passed through a few enthusiast owners before being acquired by our vendor in 2004. He had always wanted a TME and bought the best example he could find. It was in superb original condition, with a full-service history and approximately 15,500 miles. Over the last 20 years, remarkably, the car has only covered just over 2,500 miles, yet no expense has been spared on maintenance, servicing, enhancement and care. Just some of the top-quality upgrades include: HKS Silent Hi Power exhaust, Ecutek remap, Walbro fuel pump, Turbosmart EBOOST 2 boost controller & dual port dump valve, AP Racing 6-pot 362mm brake kit and Ultralite ATEC ll alloy wheels.The car has been always garaged and stored on a trickle charger in an insulated private car cave. It's accompanied by its full bookpack including service booklet and numerous invoices for its upgrades and maintenance, giving any potential buyer huge confidence. After many years of diligent ownership, circumstances now mean that the family have to sell this special car and hope it goes to a similarly-minded enthusiast to use and enjoy.Specification Make: MITSUBISHI Model: LANCER EVOLUTION VL 'TOMMI MAKINEN EDITION' UK-SPECIFICATION CHASSIS #060 Year: 2001 Chassis Number: CP9A0201389 Registration Number: Y232 HEU Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 4G63G0605 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 17541 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: TMEClick here for more details and images

UK-specification, low-build number, Passion Red, 39,000 miles, plenty of history, and some discrete upgrades.....the Tommi Mäkinen sweet-spot! By 1997, rallying had captured the imagination of petrol-heads everywhere and Mitsubishi sold 6,000 Evolution IVs in the first three days of its launch! In quick succession, the Lancer Evolution VI arrived and in the latter-half of 1999, Mitsubishi unleashed a special edition to celebrate its favourite son’s four consecutive WRC drivers' titles from 1996-1999 - the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI 'Tommi Mäkinen Edition' (TME). The Evolution VI was already a technological tour de force, but the TME had a more responsive titanium turbocharger, uprated and lowered suspension ('tuned to give improved initial response on tarmac surfaces'), quicker steering, a different exhaust, a new ECU, beefed-up transfer case internals, a redesigned front bumper for even better cooling and authentic 17" WRC Enkei alloy wheels. Plus, there was a special interior featuring embossed Recaro seats, a MOMO steering wheel and red stitching. The performance upgrades saw the 0-60mph sprint obliterated in 4.4 seconds and a maximum top speed of 150mph. Power was rumoured to be over 300bhp, rather than the 276bhp 'agreement'.Widely regarded as the finest Lancer to wear the Evolution badge and only 250 TMEs were officially imported into the UK, with 100 examples going to Australia and the rest sold domestically in the Japanese Market. Official figures show that of the UK's allocation, only 50 examples were in Passion Red, the signature colour for a TME. According to Mitsubishi, it was these Passion Red cars that automatically received the renowned racing decals, known as a 'Special Colour Package' (SCP), meaning these cars were factory-fitted with black door handles (so as to not break the line of the long profile decal). In the world of Mitsubishi aficionados, the consensus is that there were just 212 official factory SCP examples of the TME produced worldwide.The car presented here then is very special indeed. Not only is it a genuine Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition (CP9A / SNGF2) SCP car (i.e.one of 212) in the signature colour of Passion Red, but it is also an official UK-market example. This means it was officially imported by Mitsubishi-affiliated Ralliart UK, hence it would have been professionally SVA'd and is supplied with UK service books, a calibrated speedometer, an unleaded-spec fuel restrictor, cold-climate battery and an alternator, plus it is individually numbered with a plaque in the cabin - and not just any number in this case, here it reads #019, making this car a very early-in-the-run UK-market TME - the cars within the first 50 examples are considered to have special designations amongst enthusiasts and collectors.This very special car has covered just 39,000 miles supported by MOT and service records and has had just a handful of owners, the last, our vendor since 2012. It's only been lightly/discretely enhanced, benefitting from an engine tune by Evo specialist, Mark Shead, with a 'conservative' ECU upgrade, anti-lag, AP Racing 6-pot 362mm brake kit and a set of white Compomotive motorsports alloys.Accompanied by a large history file, with many receipts, plus its original and complete book-pack, the car has just had a full cam-belt service and a full MOT as part of its recommissioning, since coming out of storage.Specification Make: MITSUBISHI Model: LANCER EVOLUTION VL 'TOMMI MÄKINEN EDITION' UK-SPEC CHASSIS #19 Year: 2001 Chassis Number: CP9A0201177 Registration Number: Y19 TME Transmission: Manual Engine Number: AG63BD2420 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 39297 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images
Lot 271
As the ultimate representation of TVR's Speed Six era - and of Peter Wheeler’s vision for the brand - this unique T440R is a significant part of the Blackpool firm's history. If you are familiar with TVR’s back catalogue, you will understand the significance of this car; just like with the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 sold by Iconic Auctioneers (formerly Silverstone Auctions) last year, for £601,500, we are thrilled to offer this incredible opportunity to own another genuine piece of TVR history.The T440R was created so that TVR could challenge at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with the intention of securing the marque homologation and FIA Approval to enter GT1 Class Endurance Racing. Initially named the ‘Tuscan R’ (R standing for Racing), the project began during the late 1990s with the hope that TVR would return to the Circuit de la Sarthe for the first time in more than 40 years. With an entirely new approach required to maintain speeds in excess of 200 mph on the Mulsanne Straight, the T440R was constructed completely by hand with a specialist in-house factory team. Designed with the help of cutting-edge CAD/CAM Technology, the complex and cutting-edge advanced structure was both hugely advanced and expensive to develop, and was like no other TVR built before it, or since.With a naturally-aspirated engine producing more than 400bhp and weighing just over 1100kgs, the performance of the T440R was quite simply staggering. Sophisticated aerodynamics generated a drag coefficient of a remarkable 0.32 and the production methods included a flat-floor design constructed from resin-filled aluminium honeycomb. This structure was then bonded and bolted directly to the seamless tubular chassis and integral steel roll-cage. A separate, lightweight carbon fibre tub was then also bonded to the structure together with the carbon fibre bodywok adding further strength and rigid reinforcement.From this, TVR were able to offer (in theory) two road-going versions of this car, the T440R - with a 4.2-litre 440bhp engine, and the Typhon (which was intended to run a sequential gearbox and a supercharger, but never came to fruition). The first of the T440R examples, and always registered as ‘PN02 ZNG’, is the car presented here. PN02 ZNG was actually the second factory pre-production car, the first (a purple, or sometimes silver example) was destroyed at the factory.PN02 ZNG remained road-registered, sporting its factory 4.2-litre powerplant, and was the original factory press car which was used in the marketing literature and brochures at the time, and was famously driven by Jeremy Clarkson in his 2002 film, No Limits, which can be viewed on YouTube. Subsequently, the car was factory-converted into an interpretation of the envisaged race car (in DeWalt livery) and was displayed at Le Mans, as a promotional exercise, in about 2004/5, to publicise TVR’s (hopefully) forthcoming involvement in the racing series. Following this, in 2008, it was purchased by a private customer (through ‘Racing Green’), whilst being in the care of TVR specialists since 2014.Overseen by our vendor, it has now been fully restored by those TVR specialists, and is fitted with a brand new 4.4-litre Speed Six engine built by Dom Trickett at Powers Performance, the same company that developed high-performance engines for the factory. Its engine now is as close in output/engineering competency as TVR ever achieved, with the 'aspirational' 440bhp (which helped coin the model's name back-in-the-day) always proving hard to actually reach. It also has a new clutch, differential, shocks, close-ratio gearbox, suspension and many other parts, all bespoke to the car. The exhaust was built by the talented Ryan Edwards, whilst the door glass was specially re-made by the original manufacturers in Italy! Such has been the attention to detail. PN02 ZNG is now in better condition that it ever was, it's fit & finish is superb, the materials used are first-rate, whilst the engineers employed to reinstate it have had the time, budget and derived knowledge to make this sensational car as good as it could ever be.The car has been superbly painted in its stunning original Candy Apple Red and has a newly trimmed, high-quality full leather interior. A comprehensive photo file of the rebuild, plus pictures of the car in its original form at the factory, have been put together to record this historic build (available upon request).The provenance of PN02 ZNG is indisputable, valid and can be easily traced; indeed, David Hothersall (TVR CC), an expert on these cars, can vouch for its veracity. Please do enquire if there is any uncertainty or questions.With the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 having sold for more than £600,000 last year, this original T440R represents an incredible chance to own an immaculate piece of the TVR story for a fraction of that figure. One of the rarest (but entirely usable) cars in TVR’s history could now be yours.Iconic Auctioneers are again very proud to offer for sale such a car- a unique example of its type from an era of British automotive brilliance. For any serious collector or enthusiast, this is a remarkable opportunity to acquire this legendary motor car and, as its owner, you and it would be welcome and much admired at any high-profile motoring event anywhere in the world.PN02 ZNG was recently featured in the current edition of 'Classic & Sportscar' magazine: https://www.classicandsportscar.com/features/tvr-t440r-blackpools-200mph-road-racerand also on the 'DriveTribe' YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqBS19coeBc(The first eight photographs here are used with permission from, and much thanks to, Classic & Sportscar magazine, part of the Haymarket Media Group, and were taken by John Bradshaw; and the Copyright remains with them) Specification Make: TVR Model: T440R Year: 2002 Chassis Number: SDLGA18A92B001249 Registration Number: PN02 ZNG Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 0212P6402673 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHDClick here for more details and images
Lot 210
The 1996 'Grand Sport' was the ultimate development of the fourth generation of Chevrolet's legendary Corvette. Introduced in 1984, after a one year model hiatus, the fourth-generation (C4) Corvette modernised Chevrolet's halo model, dragging it out of the regulation and emission-choked doldrums and boasting many new electronic features including a digital dashboard. The C4 would carry Chevrolet through the 1980s and early 1990s with highlights including the 'One-Millionth' Corvette and the introduction of the ZR-1,which took the Corvette, for the first time in many years, back to the top of the muscle-car performance pile. For its final year of production in 1996, Chevrolet introduced a special model to help the C4 go out with a bang prior to the introduction of the new-for-1997 C5. Named 'Grand Sport' in honour of the five lightweight Corvette racers that Zora Arkus Duntov designed in 1963 prior to Chevrolet’s official exit from motorsport, the C4's swansong was a limited-edition of 1,000 cars. All were painted a distinctive Admiral Blue Metallic with a wide Arctic White centre stripe and a pair of red hash stripes over the left front wheel, with motivation being provided by a 'one-year-only' 330bhp 5.7-litre LT4 V8 paired to the desirable 6-speed manual transmission.This superb example was sourced directly from the US by its present and fanatical owner who looked long and hard before securing this low-mileage (less than 14,000 at the time of viewing) example with it being one of just 810 Coupés (just one of 217 with the Torch Red interior and one of only 91 with the desirable F45 suspension).It’s in immaculate and original condition throughout with the only addition to standard being Corsa rear exhaust boxes. Complete with a comprehensive service history, all books, an original sales brochure and advertising poster and, unbelievably, the original build sticker is still in place attached to the fuel tank.This rare Corvette would be a welcome addition to any American car Collector's stable, an opportunity not to be missed.NB. The registration number depicted in our images does not form part of the sale.Specification Make: CHEVROLET Model: CORVETTE GRAND SPORT COUPE Year: 1996 Chassis Number: 1G1YY2258T5600913 Registration Number: TBA Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 5600913 Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 13985 Miles Make: LHD Interior Colour: Torch Red LeatherClick here for more details and images
