1938 Lancia Aprilia Series 1 Saloon projectRegistration no. FGT 662Chassis no. 384228Odometer reading: N/AMOT Expiry: N/A *Early UK RHD example*Dry stored*50 year ownership span with single owner from 1974*Sold for restoration First presented at the 30th edition of the Paris Motor Show in October 1936, the Lancia Aprilia was a pioneering design and was one of the first cars to be designed using a wind tunnel. This early UK supplied example was sold in January 1974 to the registered keeper who owned the car for 47 years. A restoration of the car was started some 40 years ago, however only a few panels were removed and the project was put on hold. The car has been in the owner's dry storage ever since awaiting restoration, and is now being sold due to retirement and redevelopment of the storage location. All removed parts are being sold with the car, plus spare components such as a gearbox, engine parts, panels, switches and gauges. The car also comes with a log book, V5, and some paperwork. The engine turns, and the car also rolls easily for loading.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 20/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

John Lennon, In His Own Write, Jonathan Cape, 30 Bedford Square, London, early edition, signed to the opening page in blue ink "John Lennon to Malc x"Note: This whimsical book of surrealist poems, drawings and short stories was the first solo endeavour by any of The Beatles. Originally published in March 1964, it was a huge success – reportedly selling 50,000 copies on the first day of its release in England.To celebrate the books success, Lennon was invited to a literary luncheon hosted by Foyle’s at the prestigious Dorchester Hotel in London, for which he took a break from filming A Hard Day’s Night. Also in attendance were the Earl of Arran, Arthur Askey, Harry Secombe, Mary Quant, Helen Shapiro and a crowd of press people amongst others. Unfortunately, Lennon was not aware that he was expected to make a speech or that the event was anything more than a casual lunch; and according to his wife Cynthia they were both painfully hungover. When the moment arrived, with the press and attendees waiting with bated breath to hear from the ‘intelligent’ Beatle, a terrified John Lennon stood and said "Er, thank you all very much, and God bless you." Apparently the disappointment was palpable and it was seen as a typical Lennon snub of the establishment, but he tried to make up for it by signing copies of his book – including this volume for a relative of the current vendor who was in attendance.
