Lot 955

1 of just 250 Tomb Raider Special Edition Defenders produced, one of the best-equipped Defenders ever and a real collectors' car. Over the years there have been a number of 'special edition' Land Rover Defenders released, including the '90SV', 'Defender 50th' and the 'Heritage' with possibly the best known special being the 'Tomb Raider' from 2000, which was created to commemorate Land Rover's role in the first film of that franchise. Designed to look like an off-road expedition vehicle, they were finished in Bonatti Grey metallic paint with special badging and details and came equipped with a roof rack and roof rack support system (looking similar to a roll-cage), additional spotlights, winch, bull-bar, raised air-intake and Pewter Grey 'Boost' alloy wheels. Internally they were complemented by 'Black Quest' fabric seats, black leather steering wheel, air conditioning and a stereo cassette radio. Limited to a run of 250, they were available either as a 90" or 110" double cab, with standard TD5 engines.This UK-supplied right-hand drive Defender 90 was first registered in May 2002 and has been enjoyed by three former keepers. With a recorded mileage of just 34,504 miles at the time of viewing, it remains in outstanding condition throughout and this-low production run Land Rover Tomb Raider would make the perfect addition to any Land Rover collection. It will be presented at sale fully serviced and issued with a fresh MOT. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER 90 TD5 Year: 2002 Chassis Number: SALLDVB871A621128 Registration Number: GF02 GNU Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 10P28734B Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 34504 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Lot 963

#111 of the final run of 300 German-manufactured, right-hand drive Beetles, finished in Diamond Silver and in wonderful condition. Offered with No Reserve. The Volkswagen Beetle enjoyed staggering success for many years, and in 1972 became the best-selling car to date, with total production worldwide exceeding 15,000,000 vehicles. However, by that time, the Beetle was starting to seem dated compared with much of the modern competition and sales were flagging. In an attempt to maintain interest, Volkswagen produced numerous special edition models during the final years of European production. These included the Jeans Beetle, City Beetle, Sun Bug and Marathon Beetle, to name just a few. Despite these efforts, the Beetle was now effectively past its 'sell-by-date' with sales continuing to decline and the last European-built car left the production line in Emden, Germany on the 19th January 1978, immediately taking early retirement in the Wolfsburg Auto Museum. In 1978, to mark the occasion, the final run of 300 German-manufactured right-hand drive Beetles were all finished in the very special Diamond Silver (L97A) paint colour; they were also all fitted with a 1,200cc engine (the most famous of all), blue-corded velour trim, a flat windscreen (as a nod to the past), heated rear window, fresh air blower and a handbrake dash-light. Finally, a dashboard-mounted plaque stated the vehicle's number in the sequence.The car presented here, example #111, is known throughout the VW owners club and features on the official LEB register. Reading an unwarranted mileage of just over 10,000, #111 was the subject of a sympathetic restoration between 2011-2013 and is in lovely condition. The Jubilee Silver paintwork is bright, and the interior is immaculate. All brightwork and chrome are 'as new', the glass is original and the engine bay is tidy. The car has formed part of a small private Collection since 2015, being driven only occasionally, MOT’d and maintained well and several invoices detailing expenditure and a 2015 service by respected VW specialist ‘Veedubs’ are present in the accompanying history file. The LEB was produced in smaller numbers than any previous special-edition Beetle and, in our opinion, is a very significant collector's car or would make an ideal first classic for an enthusiast at a most reasonable outlay.Specification Make: VOLKSWAGEN Model: BEETLE LAST EDITION Year: 1978 Chassis Number: 1182007277 Registration Number: YTA 167S Transmission: Manual Engine Number: D1417446 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 10000 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

§ Sir Eduardo Paolozzi CBE (1924-2005) Oxford: January 1945 signed 'Eduardo Luigi Francesco Michele / [amedeo?] Pietro Ernesto Paolozzi' (lefthand margin) lithograph, unframed 16.5 x 22.5cm Dated 1945, the present lot is believed to be the first print ever produced by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi and dates from his student days at The Slade School of Art, which, at this time, had been evacuated to the Ruskin School, Oxford. Unusually signed with his full name, the work is unnumbered from an unknown, though certainly very small, edition size.Observing a typical Oxford scene, the present lot shows a car-full of army personnel glowering at a bespectacled student, typically clad in his sub fusc, as he rides his bicycle through the town. Today known as the ‘Father of British Pop Art’, the present work is certainly wildly different in both style and technique from his later works and offers a valuable insight into his early practice. Work has been stuck down to a secondary paper support. The signature is in blue ink, faded but still very legible. The paper support and secondary support are both age toned throughout, this is largely uniform and even. The work appears to have been trimmed at some point, resulting in a slightly uneven appearance along all edges. Along the right hand edge there is a horizontal tear (approx 1cm) but with no loss of media, a second tear with loss below is only on the secondary support and does not interfere with the image. The lower right hand corner has a dog ear tear, but with no loss of media as it is stuck down. Some grubby marks commensurate with age to the margins and the lower left corner with some pencil shading, it is unclear whether this is by Paolozzi or a later hand. See additional images.
