Registration No: E775 NJD Chassis No: SCAZN00A8JCH22179 MOT: June 2025Supplied new by Mann Egerton in London on 7th December 1987Displaying a credible c.89,000 miles from newAttention paid to the paintwork by JK Engineering LtdWood veneers understood to have been recently refurbished to a high standardThe Silver Spur was the moniker adopted by Rolls-Royce for the long wheelbase versions of the Silver Spirit and belonged to a new generation of models that also included that marque's Flying Spur, Silver Dawn, Touring Limousine and Park Ward and the Mulsanne and Eight Series models of its sister company, Bentley. Penned by Fritz Feller, the range was first represented at the 1980 Paris Salon and was a welcome replacement for the long-serving Silver Shadow and its siblings. The design was not entirely new, however, and employed the floorpan of the outgoing model as well as its proven OHV 6750cc V8 powerplant. The opulent newcomer was lower and longer than its predecessor though and, courtesy of its finely-tuned hydraulic self-levelling suspension, was said to provide the best roadholding ever offered by the marque at that time. There were a total of four iterations of the range, via which the models remained in production until 1998.Supplied new by Mann Egerton Ltd, London, on the 7th December 1987 in Larkspur Blue Metallic with Magnolia hide upholstery piped in Dark Blue, the Spur on offer displays c.89,000 miles on the odometer. Service records on file show that the car has previously been serviced with the supplying main agent Mann Egerton in Kings Cross, London, at 3,050, 5,778, 10,461 and 13,454 up to November 1989 and specialists thereafer, until October 1996 (at 60,262 miles). The subject of over £4,000 expenditure since 2016. In 2016, £3,597 was spent with JK Engineering on supplying and fitting spark plugs, brake pump seals/ ’o’ rings, a new battery and a new expansion valve. The work also included attention to the paintwork. In 2018, the underside was Waxoyled and £411 was spent with Rutland Autos on the brakes in 2019. Described as 'regularly maintained', most recently by the vendor who informs us that the wood veneers have recently been renewed as well as having 4 new tyres in 2024 and this shows on inspection. It is being offered supplied with the V5C Registration Document, the original handbooks, a warranty card, the hydro-pneumatic suspension card, the original book pack with service book, handbook and a collection of old MOTs.

Registration No: B144 WWT Chassis No: SCFCV81C6FTR15398 MOT: October 2025ex-Aston Martin Owner's Club Chairman ownershipJust 48,000 miles and four former keepers from newA notably nicely presented example with some £8,000 worth of expenditure in the last three yearsPrevious full repaint and still presented in its original colour schemeOffered with an extensive history fileOne of just 439 Weber-carburettor fed V8 Volantes madeIntroduced in June 1978, the Aston Martin V8 Volante was among the most stylish 2+2-seater convertibles that money could buy. Utilising a strengthened version of its two-door Saloon sibling’s sheet steel platform chassis, the newcomer was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a De Dion rear axle, four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted rack and pinion steering. Sporting a ‘power bulge’ bonnet to accommodate the quad Weber carburettors that sat atop its 5340cc DOHC V8 engine, the soft-top was typically ordered with three-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission. Reputedly capable of over 140mph and 0-60mph in 7.7 seconds, the V8 Volante featured sumptuous leather upholstery and a beautiful burr walnut dashboard / door cappings. A smash hit with America’s rich and famous, most of the 439 carburettor-fed cars completed between 1978 and 1986 were to left-hand drive specification.Supplied new on the 1st April 1985 to the first owner, a business by the name of Cooper Metals, through Aston Martin main agents JCT600 (Car-Tech Centre) of Shipley, chassis 15398 was finished from the factory in the beautiful colour scheme of Forest Green paintwork complemented by a Beige leather interior upholstery with Dark Green piping and Green carpets. Serviced at Aston Works Service in Newport Pagnell for the first and second services, thereafter, service work was shared with other stalwarts of the marque; Ian Mason and Chapman Spooner, being serviced almost every year until 1998 and having covered 44,053 miles. Over the subsequent years, the Volante has clearly been cherished, making use of skilled Aston Martin specialists. In 2002/3, chassis 15398 was again entrusted to Ian Mason for significant mechanical maintenance, including removal of cylinder heads and conversion to unleaded fuel, as well as a comprehensive top-end overhaul undertaken including a carburettor refresh and a differential overhaul. The front suspension was also dismantled with brake and shock absorber renewal completed and sill restoration, amongst much further work, all of which totalled some £26,800.Stored off the road from c.2006 until 2016, the Volante was then entrusted to Byron International, who at the time were marque aficionados and brokers of some of the world’s finest Aston Martins, with ‘B144 WWT’ changing hands through them in 2017. During this process, the originality of the Volante was noted – for example, there were tabs on the seat runners that were on the car when new and normally would not stand the test of time. Lavished with a full repaint in its original colour combination shortly after, most recently the Aston Martin has received some £8,000 worth of expenditure in the last three years with improvements being completed by a classic car specialist and including servicing, a new high torque starter motor, renewal of drive belts, overhauls of the water and air pump, air-conditioning re-gas, improvements to the electrics, alloy wheel refurbishment, and new tyres.With minimal mileage covered since the extensive mechanical overhaul by Ian Mason (some 3,000 miles), ‘B144 WWT’ is offered now having covered just 49,000 miles from new and with only four former keepers, one of which was a former Chairman of the Aston Martin Owner's Club. Furthermore, if any V8 Volante was not exclusive enough, this example was chosen as the lead car for Autoglym's advertising campaign in 1989, with an original copy of the advertisement in a Classic & Sports Car magazine accompanying, showing the chauffeur fitted out, appropriately, in a Gieves & Hawkes suit. Offered with an extensive history file that documented the Aston Martin's early life in full detail, the file further includes MOT certificates back to 1989, a large collection of invoices, ownership history, and a current V5C document. Supplied with a no advisory MOT certificate until October, the tool kit, and jack, chassis 15398 was last serviced at 47,316 miles by a classic car specialist. This very nicely presented example is certainly worthy of close inspection! A simply exquisite motorcar, it is perfect for a long-distance journey in style.

Registration No: ND 8602 Chassis No: 5917ED MOT: ExemptJust two owners during the Sunbeam's first fifty-six yearsFull cosmetic restoration since being purchased by the vendor in 2013 including complete repaint and retrimmedBenefitting from an extensive mechanical restoration previously, including a full engine overhaulApproximately 800 miles completed since the cosmetic restoration including two long-distance tripsOffered with an extensive history file containing the original buff logbookSunbeam's initial post-WWI offerings were based on its pre-war designs and the first truly new model was the four-cylinder 14 introduced in 1922. A major step forward, it evolved into the 14/40 of 1924. This was powered by the same four-cylinder OHV 2121cc engine, featuring magneto ignition and Claudel Hobson MZP carburation. This unit was mated to a three-speed gearbox with right-hand change, suspension was by semi-elliptic leaves at the front and cantilever units at the rear and four-wheel brakes were standard fare. The newcomer was offered with a variety of different bodies - two and five-seat Tourers, Coupe, Sports model, Saloon, and Saloon by Weymann. A total of some 2,850 14/40s were manufactured during the model's two-year reign.Chassis number ‘5917ED’ was supplied new to its first owner in December 1924 and was clothed in Tourer coachwork from new. The first owner, Ethelbert Stott, was a member of the Abraham Stott & Son cotton spinning company in the Manchester area. Residing in Leighton Buzzard for many years, he retained the Sunbeam for some thirty-six years, before the second keeper, a Mr Holden, had similarly long-term ownership of 20 years. Thereafter, the 14/40 was sold to a Health & Reach Motor Garage for use as a showroom display piece in 1980 and latterly purchased back into private family ownership in 1987. The Sunbeam was passed through several owners within the family before it was sold to the previous keeper as a recommissioning project in 2011.Between 1987 and 1990, the Sunbeam benefitted from an almost complete mechanical overhaul to the expense of c.£18,000 with minimal mileage since completion. Works included overhauls of the engine, front axle, radiator, dynamo and magneto; re-wiring; and new brakes, springs, fuel tank, stainless steel exhaust, as well as renewal of the weather equipment. Recommissioned by the previous keeper, the Sunbeam was back on the road in 2013 before being acquired by the vendor later that same year. In the custodianship of the vendor, ‘ND 8602’ has been lavished with a full cosmetic restoration and mechanical improvement to the sum of c.£8,800.Upon the beginning of the pandemic, the 14/40 was lifted on axle stands, where it has remained ever since. Requiring some recommissioning, it is offered with extensive history folders, the buff logbook, extensive invoices back to the 1980s, the original instruction book, previous logbooks, MOT history, photographs of the Sunbeam, technical information, weather equipment, a wall sign, technical information and a current V5C document. Fully mechanically and cosmetically restored with c.800 miles since, ‘5917ED’ is a very worthwhile re-commissioning project.

Registration No: Y302 GEC Chassis No: WDB2084652T087986 MOT: June 2025c.41,000 recorded miles from new and just 2 former keepersOffered from long term family ownershipGenerously equiped Elegance modelOriginal book pack, handbooks, service book, invoices, MOTs and the V5CBorn from a long line of elegant two-door Mercedes-Benz Coupes, the CLK320 was introduced to the UK during July 1997. Longer and lower than the C-Class Saloon upon which it was based, the newcomer was styled after a 1993 concept car. With a generously equipped Elegance model, all featured all-round independent suspension, power steering, ABS disc brakes and traction control, it was propelled by a 3.2 litre engine allied to five-speed automatic transmission. Notable as Mercedes' first V6, the overhead-cam unit boasted three valves per cylinder. With a quoted 218bhp and 228lbft on tap, the CLK320 was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds and 150mph. Despite such performance, government figures suggested that 28mpg was achievable on the combined cycle.First registered on 17th May 2001, this CLK Elegance wears Blue paint complemented to a Grey interior. Displaying just c.41,000 recorded miles from new and with just 2 former keepers, this CLK is offered from long-term, 12-year family ownership. Straight away, you can see the high specification; the front fog lights, interior wood trim, AMG-style 5-pointed star wheels and a Blue cloth roof, it all presents as an attractive combination on this example. Offered with the original book pack, handbooks and service books, a collection of invoices, MOTs and the current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: XWH 688V Chassis No: 9249109014 MOT: ExemptBelieved to be c.18,300 miles from new with 4 former keepersOffered with a collection of specialist invoicesSubject to a minor service, a new calliper piston and seals in May 2022Current V5CContracted to engineer a flagship sports Coupe for VW-Audi in the early 1970s (codenamed EA435), Porsche was only too glad to buy back the design rights when their client ran into financial difficulties. Paying DM 100 million for the privilege (somewhat less than they had charged for the work) they readily agreed to VW's stipulation that the new car be built at the latter's Neckarsulm plant. Suitably reworked, the Harm Lagaay styled EA435 was unveiled to the world as the Porsche 924 in 1975. Based around a two-door Coupe monocoque shell equipped with MacPherson strut front and trailing arm rear suspension, it boasted a 50:50 weight distribution thanks to its rear-mounted transaxle. Powered by a 1984cc SOHC four-cylinder engine developing some 125bhp and 121lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of 125mph and 0-60mph in 9.5 seconds. Noted for its fine handling (some unkind pundits said that it cornered too well for a Porsche!), it was systematically evolved gaining optional five-speed transmission in 1978 (standardised the following year) and a fully galvanised bodyshell in 1981.First registered on 1st August 1979, this 924 is believed to be a c.18,300 miles-from-new example with 4 recorded former keepers. Finished in Red and optioned with a sunroof the interior is finished in Brown, there's a period radio cassette player and it still has the rear cargo cover in place, that rolled out to cover the rear carpeted luggage area. With maintenance carried out at a number of specialists, there are invoices on file for October 2020 with Jasmine Porschalink Ltd of Nelson, Lancashire, for a replacement of the inlet manifold and a service at a cost of some £1,000; In July 2021, poor starting issues were sorted by Williams Crawford Porsche Specialist in Saltash at a cost of £359; In May 2022 a minor service, a new calliper piston and seals were replaced and a temperature sensor issue was repaired at a cost of £251. A Porsche model now receiving great interest, this example is offered with a collection of invoices from specialists and a current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: HG55 NXM Chassis No: TRUZZZ8N161002088 MOT: May 202568,900 miles from new and 6 former keepersOffered with its original owner's walletSubject to an engine service, rear pads with a timing and auxiliary belt change last year The production model (internal designation Type 8N) was launched as a Coupé in September 1998, followed by a Roadster in August 1999. Based on the Volkswagen Group A4 (PQ34) platform as used for the Volkswagen Golf Mk4, the original Audi A3, the Skoda Octavia, and others. Factory production commenced in October 1998. The Audi TT was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award for 2000. It was also on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 2000 and 2001.First registered on 27th October 2005, this 1.8T (5V 150bhp Turbo) iteration of the TT is finished in Metallic Blue complemented to a Grey leather interior. 'HG55 NXM' displays some 68,900 miles, with some invoices on file for servicing. On 28th September 2018, a cam-belt was fitted by Andrews Car Centre, Lincoln. The same garage carried out a service on 15th November 2019. More recently Northwest Automobiles, Blackburn, Lancashire carried out an engine service and rear pads with a timing and auxiliary belt change on or around 29th May 2024 at 67,015 miles. With low miles and plenty of fun to be had from this Roadster and 150bhp this spring, this TT is offered with its original owner's wallet, a collection of invoices and a current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: JKH 732L Chassis No: GAECNB06187 MOT: ExemptRare Cologne-built Mk1 Capri produced for the US marketPotent Cologne 2.6 litre V6 engine variantDefinite 'Bullitt' vibes, thanks to its distinctive colour schemeCalifornian import and current UK ownership since 2019Designed by Ford of Britain, the first generation Capri was built in both right- and left-hand drive guises. The sleek, two-door, Fastback Coupe was styled by Philip T. Clark (who had also had a hand in the Mustang) and had more than a touch of transatlantic glamour about it. Very much a ‘sporty compact’ by American standards, examples shipped there were manufactured in Cologne, Germany and sold through the Blue Oval’s prestigious Lincoln-Mercury division from April 1970 onwards. Visually distinguished from their European siblings by quad, circular headlights and a ‘power dome’ hood, US-bound Capris were initially powered by four-cylinder engines. A 2.6 litre ‘Cologne’ V6 was added to the engine line-up for 1972 becoming the first American-market vehicle catalogued by the Ford Motor Company with a V6 powerplant. The addition of unsightly impact bumpers in 1974 lessened the visual appeal of what Ford described as ‘the sexy European’ but sales remained decent as the ‘fuel crisis’ bit. Reworked by Weslake (complete with alloy cylinder heads), the Cologne 2.6 litre V6 went on to power the RS2600 homologation models. Even in standard tune, the 2.6 litre was rated at 123bhp and 151lbft of torque.This 2.6-litre Cologne V6 engined example of the Mercury Capri was supplied new to the target market of the United States of America, residing there for the vast majority of its life. Imported to the United Kingdom from California in 2018, the Capri is finished in the distinctive colour scheme of Green Metallic paintwork with a Satin Black bonnet, very much evoking the 'Bullitt' Mustang. The exterior appearance is completed with split-rim style alloys and Matt Black bumpers, while the interior is trimmed in luxurious Black leather upholstery and features a deep-dish Springalex steering wheel. Registered on British roads in 2018 as ‘JKH 732L’, the Capri has been in current ownership since 2019.Offered now with just shy of 40,000 miles showing on the odometer, the Capri is accompanied by import documentation, copies of Californian titles, previous MOT certificates, and a current V5C document. Undoubtedly cool, the Capri with its potent Cologne V6 and ‘Bullitt’-esque colour scheme is sure to turn heads. The vendor informs us that it “provides rapid acceleration, precise handling and responsive steering”. If you want something a bit different in the Fast Ford crowd, then this is certainly a more than viable option!

Registration No: H695 SAH Chassis No: VSE0SJJ3D00097006 MOT: August 2025 Fully restored some ten years agoFinished in a striking, unique colourBuilt by Land Rover Santana S.A. in SpainThe Suzuki Jimny, a small, simple and robust 4x4, became the brands first global success. In 1975 the SJ series ('Suzuki Jeep') was launched and it quickly gained a significant market share as it was cheap to buy and run. This led Suzuki to become the market leader for 4x4 cars throughout the 1980s. Particularly popular became the SJ 413 (four-wheel drive, 1.3-litre engine), later called 'Samurai'. Both the body and interior were redesigned with the introduction of a roll bar, along with a new dashboard, seats and grille.Built under license by Land Rover Santana S.A. in Spain, due to Euroean quotas, this attractively practical LWB version of the Suzuki SJ 'jeep' with a commercial-style hardtop and steel-roofed cabin, has been subject to an extensive restoration by the previous owner which has been effectively documented amongst the photographs and the plethora of digital files with the car, that include diagrams, schematics, how-to' guides and maintenance manuals. The car was stripped right down and the chassis and body separated to be cleaned, repaired, painted and built back to completion. Restoration work included new metal before a final repaint. The LWB Suzuki jeep's removable cabin top was replaced with a permanent steel roof and a rear door fitted to complement the tall hardtop. An attractive proposition as an off-roader, it would also make a fantastic promotional or eye-catching yet practical commercial vehicle. From what we know, the fibreglass rear top, without windows, is unlike any others we have seen, albeit likely from the same manufacturer as the factory approved tops with windows. It is offered with a spare set of Samurai wheels (10 hole steels compared to the 9 hole steels fitted to the vehicle), digital images and files relating to the restoration and the current V5 document.

Registration No: EX 6915 Chassis No: D236 MOT: ExemptJAP-engined V-twin MorganSubject to a comprehensive body and engine overhaul in 2003Affectionately known as 'Castrol' and previously displayed at the Haynes International Motor MuseumIn need of light recommissioningAn ingenious concept, HFS Morgan built his first three-wheeler in 1909. Based around a tubular steel frame, its low centre of gravity and advanced 'sliding pillar' independent front suspension endowed it with excellent road-holding. Progressively developed, the single rear-wheel-driven platform played host to a variety of JAP, Matchless, Blackburne, Anzani and Ford powerplants over the years (though, the prototype used a Peugeot unit). Fearsome competition cars, Morgan three-wheelers driven by the likes of HFS himself, Clive Lones and Harold Beart acquitted themselves well on race circuits and trial stages alike (Mrs Gwenda Stewart recorded 115.66mph during a record run at Montlhery in 1930). An evolution of the JAP powered Aero model, the Super Sports appeared in 1927. By 1933 Morgan's three-wheeler chassis could be ordered with four types of body, namely: Super Sports, Sports Two-Seater, Sports Family and Family. The Super Sports was notable for its chromium-plated exhaust pipes that run the length of the body. Interest in Morgans of this period has never waned and, if anything, increased in recent times - the company's inspired decision to create a modern three-wheeler having brought the early cars to the attention of a new audience.Built in 1933 and fitted from new with an 1100cc water-cooled JAP V-twin engine, little is known of the early history of chassis D236. However, a note from a previous owner suggests that the sporting three-wheeler was laid up during World War II and remained off the road until 1952, when it was subject to a rebuild and registered as ‘EX 6915’ which has been retained to this day. Evidence suggests that the car was used for racing during the years between its first rebuild and acquisition by the previous owner in 2010, and a recent chance sighting of a photograph of the car at a sporting event was found by our specialist hanging on the wall at the Fox & Hounds pub near Godstone, Surrey attesting to this.A note on file from the previous owner shows that the car was subject to a second complete overhaul in 2003 and painted in the current colour scheme of Castrol Green & Red, which resulted in the two-seater becoming fittingly known as ‘Castrol’. Upon acquisition, it was noted by the previous owner that the JAP engine was fitted with a racing camshaft, which was swapped back to a standard camshaft to make it more usable on the road, along with the fitment of electronic ignition and a new Amal carburettor. Such was the standard of ‘Castrol’, that in 2019 it was chosen by the Haynes International Motor Museum to be on exhibition with several other Morgans to represent the marque. Unfortunately, the previous owner’s age meant that his collection of Morgans ended up being laid-up for several years and when they needed to be sold off the vendor stepped in and purchased ‘Castrol’ and a more modern 2012 stablemate as non-running projects. A significant lack of time now means that both cars will be sold at our Buxton auction and are both offered 'as found' by the vendor in non-running condition in need of mechanical work, although it is noted by the vendor that both cars’ engines turn over and roll freely. The vendor has also noted that the bodywork is very straight, although cosmetically the paint and chrome has suffered from storage and may need some work if perfection is sought.Seldom do these pre-war three-wheelers get offered at this price level as they remain incredibly sought after. We feel that ‘Castrol’ would make a very rewarding project for any prospective purchaser. It is offered with a history 'write-up' from the previous owner and its UK V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: GN06 LWC Chassis No: SARRXXTGB4D000297 MOT: January 2026Very rare and desirable V8, 4600cc Mustang engine example with five-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive and LSDOne of just c.88 Estate 260s produced according to MG Owner's ClubJust 28,000 miles from newOnly 1 former keeperAfter a long wait, the rear-wheel-drive MG ZT made an appearance in September 2003. Completely re-engineering the standard ZT shell to accommodate Ford's superb modular Mustang 4.6-litre V8 engine which produced 256bhp and allied to a five-speed Tremec TR-350 manual transmission. SE spec examples included a Harman Kardon sound system with a factory subwoofer and X-Power rear exhausts, really enhancing that V8 soundtrack. An Auto Express report on the ZT 260s declared the Mustang engine cars as having ‘bags of torque, a well-engineered chassis and an intoxicating soundtrack, making this one of MG Rover's strongest products’. Limited numbers were produced with 187 MkI (pre-facelift examples) and 374 MkII examples understood to have been produced, of which only 88 of both generations were estate variants.'GN06 LWC' was supplied new by Ford main agent SMC Ford Sittingbourne, with Ford agents purchasing some of the ZT 260s that remained available and unregistered. This ZT-T was manufactured in 2005, before being first registered on the 24th May 2006, and would have cost a total of £29,450 when new. Finished in the attractive colour scheme of XPower Grey paintwork, the interior is trimmed in Dark Grey and Black half leather and half Alcantara, along with a Black leather dashboard and a Grey roof lining. An extremely low mileage example having covered just 28,000 miles from new, the ZT-T has been in the possession of just two registered keepers. Residing in Sittingbourne whilst in the first ownership, the MG covered approximately 18,000 miles, before being purchased by the second keeper in 2007, covering a further 10,000 miles subsequently.Most recently in dry storage since 2016 (but still maintained), ‘GN06 LWC´ started readily, and both ran and drove well for the recent photography session. Benefitting from a new battery at the start of this year, the MG is supplied with a history file that contains the combined stamped service book and owner's handbook, a collection of previous MOTs, the original price list and sales brochure, a no advisory MOT certificate until January next year and a current V5C document, as well as two keys. Presented very nicely, all Mustang engine ZTs are very rare, with the estate variants being exceptionally scarce. The 260 ZTs are undoubtedly becoming incredibly collectable!

Registration No: GK 4244 Chassis No: 8074 MOT: ExemptA very exciting stalled restoration projectCurrent (sadly deceased) ownership since 1967Said to still retain many original Brooklands partsMuch hard work already donePotentially eligible for numerous VSCC events once completedIn 1926, Percy Riley introduced the 1087cc 9hp four-cylinder engine. It was an ingenious design, with twin gear-driven camshafts and hemispherical, cross-flow combustion chambers. The engine looked for all intents like an overhead-cam unit, however, the cams were mounted high in the block, operating pushrods and rockers for the 90-degree incline valves. The engine became a hallmark of Riley cars. The Riley 9 chassis was offered in many styles and equipment, including a very striking closed sports Sedan, fabric-bodied Tourers, and the sporting and sleek Brooklands Roadster. Period literature described the Brooklands as "equally suited for competition work and daily use, very much appreciated by the motorist who desired more than average speed, hill climbing ability, acceleration, and roadworthiness." The Riley 9 proved itself a very capable competitor, with a history of many race wins, records and top results.According to the copy continuation logbook on file, chassis 8704 was first registered as ‘GK 4244’ on November 1st 1930. Referenced on pages 397 and 398 of the authoritative tome, ‘The Riley Nine Brooklands Speed Model’ by Adrian Smith and Keith Mountain, as confirmed directly by Adrian Smith, I am quite prepared to say that after discussion with others who viewed the cars for sale in their dismantled state in 1967, it is a genuine Brooklands chassis. Without a chassis stamping I cannot categorically link metal to paperwork, but on the balance of probabilities, and knowing Paul, the paperwork and chassis would go together, the two-seater’s initial owner is understood to have been A.P. Warren Esq of Acton, London. It is unknown whether he competed in the car but a Mr Arthur P. Warren (who may or may not have been the same person) contested the Monte Carlo Rally aboard various Rileys during the 1950s. Similarly, the car’s second custodian is listed as George Povey Esq of Birmingham and a gentleman of the same name is known to have campaigned a MG Midget at Shelsey Walsh. Subsequent keepers are said to have included: C.M. Smith Esq of Stourport-on-Severn, E.B. Woodall Esq of Harvington, Alan Heap Esq of Exhall, C.F. Hooper Esq of Bristol, Flight Sergeant Jacques Marlier de Routon of Wendens Ambo, A. Rusling Esq of Kettering, W. Barker Esq of Earls Barton, Eric Adams of Northampton, Charles Kennion Esq of Hertford and Brian Kennion Esq of Hitchin with the latter selling the Riley as a dismantled project to the deceased vendor in December 1967. Well known in marque circles, the late seller did not start work in earnest on ‘GK 4244’ until 2019. Sadly, he never got to see the project through to completion but we are informed that the car retains its original petrol tank, front / rear axles, wings and wheels. The chassis is said to be original as well. We did not manage to locate a number on it but have sought permission to attack the paintwork on the dumb irons and hope to do so at the venue. The 9hp engine has reportedly been overhauled with the gearbox and suspension being refurbished too. Not run for a few years, the Riley will require checking over but comes with clocks for the dash, aero screens, sundry items, number plates and a complete set of lights. The seats have been trimmed in Light Brown to complement the envisaged final Green paintwork. All of the wheels have been blasted and painted and fitted with all new tyres. A very worthy project on which most of the hard work has been done, once completed the two-seater should be eligible for numerous VSCC events. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, handwritten ownership log, invoices and sundry other paperwork. The remains of a genuine Brooklands bulkhead and doors are also available, should the new owner wish to arrange and collect at their expense post-sale. PLEASE NOTE: The chassis plate for this lot has now been found and will accompany it to the auction. A photo of the plate will be added to the listing.

Registration No: EVG 790H Chassis No: GHN5442391G MOT: ExemptBenefits from a replacement Ivor Searle engineFitted with a chrome bumper conversion, a back-dated number plate and electronic ignitionDisplays a credible c.96,000 miles and current ownership since 2019The MG A had really been the first 'BMC corporate' MG, and the MG B which replaced it was intended to be even more popular. Although the engineering of the new car was evolutionary - the B Series engine, transmission, rear axle and independent front suspension were all improved versions of those used in the previous MG A. The first incarnation of the MG B built from 1962 to April 1965 featured distinctive pull-type door handles and a 95bhp/1798cc engine with three-main-bearing crankshaft and while overdrive was an optional extra, the model's top speed was more than 100mph. Today, it enjoys a very strong following and with its GT sister has spawned a dedicated support industry. For many, the early chrome-bumper MG B Roadster is the epitome of the classic British sports car. When the MG B replaced the MG A in 1962, the main change was the use of a lower and wider steel monocoque bodyshell rather than a separate chassis and body, and a larger 1798cc engine instead of the 1498cc power unit fitted to the MG A. The other major changes to the model were a new grille and an all-synchromesh gearbox on the 1967-launched MkII, whilst American Federal-compliant black rubber instead of chrome bumpers further changed the appearance from 1974.First registered in August 1977, the vendor has owned this Brooklands Green Roadster for some 5 years and it displays a credible c.96,000 miles on the odometer. The subject of considerable expenditure over its lifetime with invoices on file from main dealer, independent garages and for service items from the MGOC dating as far back as the 1980's. As of September 2001, a reconditioned Ivor Searle standard specification engine was fitted at 86,634 miles. In June 2014 £742.90 was spent on a chrome bumper conversion kit and £894.80 spent on a wire wheel conversion kit, fitting of these items can often amount to £1,500 to £2,000 worth of work. This Roadster also wears an earlier '1970' registration number than its original 'UBA 837S', having been changed (c.2015) by a previous keeper to complement the chrome bumpers and wire wheels. Thought to have also benefitted from anti-corrosion treatment underneath some 6 to 7 years ago, the Roadster has also been upgraded with electronic ignition in the last year to aid a healthy spark. If it's the 'classic' MGB look you desire, with the user friendly, creature comforts of the MKIV, then this is the car for you. It is offered with V5C and full tonneau cover.

Registration No: YF05 JHY Chassis No: WAUZZZ4E05N016987 MOT: February 2026Warranted 66,000 miles from newJust four former keepers and offered from a significant private collectionRare and desirable 6.0 W12 engine variant producing 444hpAccompanied by very good service history with several from Audi main agentsThe W12 Quattro was the range-topping variant of the full-size luxury A8 saloon, with the second generation offering a W12 option (as the first had), which launched in 2005. The configuration allowed Audi to build a 12-cylinder saloon with all-wheel drive, with conventional V12 only able to facilitate rear-wheel drive configuration. Audi re-styled the A8 in 2005, giving all variants a taller, wider trapezoidal single-frame grille, with the W12 also being the first model was to be offered with LED running lights. The naturally aspirated 6.0-litre W12 delivers around 444bhp via a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission with paddle shift, with the W12’s maximum 428 lb ft of torque and performance figures of 5.1-second 0-62mph time, and an electronically limited 155mph top speed.Manufactured in 2005, ‘YF05 JHY’ was supplied new to its first owner on the 10th of June that year by Alexander Audi of Huddersfield. Finished in Brilliant Black paintwork, this is complemented by Cream leather interior upholstery, with a brushed aluminium dashboard and the optional Burr Walnut veneer trim. The factory specification includes Xenon headlights, front and rear parking sensors, switchable sports mode, electrically adjustable heated and cooled seats, and a Bose surround sound system. The W12 was further optioned new with electric, memory and auto-dimming mirrors, leather trimmed steering wheel, forged alloys, electric front memory comfort seats, laminated glass throughout, rear screen sun visor, and keyless entry. Offered now having covered a very modest 66,000 miles from new, the A8 has just four former keepers.Benefitting from four new tyres in 2021, new front brake pads in 2022, and a new battery early last year, the Audi is entered from a significant private collection. Supplied new two sets of keys and a history file, the documentation includes the book pack in the wallet (including the owner’s manual, operation instructions, service book, and DVD road map), a collection of invoices, MOT records, twelve month MOT, and a current V5C document. Between the service book and invoices, the A8 has a very good service history with eight services completed and the most recent having been completed at 63,649 miles. Coming to market with the original tool kit and warning triangle and two sets of keys, ‘YF05 JHY’ is a rare example of the range-topping W12 engine A8 with very modest mileage!

It found it's feet rather well and quickly became a favourite of sports stars and celebrities as it still does to this day. A final facelift to the L320 model came in 2012, introducing minor changes. The interior remained largely the same with features such as an updated media interface featuring Bluetooth audio streaming and an electric power tailgate were added. A great addition came in the form of the 'ZF' 8 speed automatic transmission and accompanying rotary wheel gear selector.First registered on 28th March 2012 OY12 YPH is presented in Stornoway Grey with a Black leather interior. With the odometer displaying a credible c.105,000 miles, the Sport has recently benefitted from a top-end engine overhaul, 2 new tyres and a new battery as part of recent maintenance on this example. The interior presents in very good condition. There is a service book included with the first entry being from "Land Rover Company Vehicles" when it was 11 months old, followed by 7 further entries, 3 of which are from Land Rover main dealers along with a current V5C document.

Registration No: 559 FYN Chassis No: 5413 MOT: ExemptAccompanying history file dates back to 1972 and lists three former keepersFinished in its original colour scheme of British Racing Green with Tan leather upholsterySupplied with full weather equipmentFull engine overhaul recently completed by TR Enterprises to 'fast road' specificationFirst seen in 1950, the Morgan Plus 4 was a larger and more powerful derivative of the company's 4/4 and remained in production on and off for seventy years. Up until 1969, it was powered by the four-cylinder engines found in the Triumph TR range, which were mated to a four-speed manual gearbox with well-spaced ratios. The rakish body was mounted on a variant of Morgan's familiar Z-section chassis, underslung at the rear. The suspension was independent by sliding pillars and coil springs at the front and a live axle on semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Braking was by drums all-round and steering by a Burman cam and selector system. As tested by Autosport's John Bolster, the 100bhp 1991cc Triumph-engined Plus Four would accelerate to 60mph in 9.6 seconds and on to a top speed of a whisker under 105mph.Manufactured in 1963, chassis ‘5413’ was supplied new to the home market and was first registered on the 26th June that year. With power supplied by the 2,138cc Triumph TR3 engine connected to the four-speed manual Moss gearbox, the Plus 4 was finished from the factory in British Racing Green paintwork coachwork with complementary Tan leather interior upholstery. This is pleasingly still the colour combination in which the Morgan presents today, and interestingly, the Plus 4 returned to the factory in 1980 for a full re-trim to its original colours. In several periods of long-term ownership throughout its life, the Morgan is understood to have had just three former keepers. Remaining in the United Kingdom until 1985 when the second owner emigrated from Guildford to California, USA, the Morgan accompanying him on the voyage and remaining there for numerous years.Repatriated to the United Kingdom in 2011, ‘559 FYN’ spent a considerable amount of its American time residing in the dry state of California, which is a testament to its condition now. Recently benefitting from a full engine overhaul completed by TR Enterprises to fast road specification, the Morgan started readily and ran very well during our recent photography session, sustaining excellent oil pressure. Supplied with full weather equipment comprising hood (trimmed in Brown), hood frame, full tonneau, and hood bag to accompany the original jack, wheel brace, and spare wheel cover. The accompanying history file dates back to 1972 with numerous previous invoices and MOTs, an instruction book, American documentation, and a current V5C document showing three former keepers. With a freshly overhauled engine, this is a low ownership example of a British icon! For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
Registration No: S560 AAN Chassis No: SAJDKAMF3CR853352 MOT: February 2026Only c.63,000 miles on the odometerFull main dealer service history until 55,066 miles in 2016 with Lancaster Jaguar ReadingJust four former keepersRare and desirable LWB Super V8 exampleFresh MOT with no advisories as per the last 3 since 2022The new V8-powered Daimler saloons were introduced in 1997 as part of Jaguar's revised X300 range, a new and highly acclaimed ZF five-speed automatic gearbox arriving at the same time. This state-of-the-art, quad-cam, 32-valve engine was built in capacities of 3.2 and 4.0 litres to power three new Jaguars and two new Daimlers. The new Daimlers comprised the V8 and Super V8, the latter equipped with a 322bhp supercharged unit, both of which shared the same long-wheelbase four-door saloon body and were equipped to the customarily very high standard of luxury. As well as being V8 powered, the car is taken to other extremes with its very rare supercharging, and long-wheelbase and luxurious specification. One of the proudest traditions in Daimler history was that since 1900, when the then Prince of Wales, later HM King Edward VII, purchased his first Daimler car, Daimlers were used by British Kings and Queens, with the Super V8 being no different, with Queen Elizabeth II herself having owned one.First registered on the 24th August 1998, this is a rare and desirable LWB Super V8. Finished in Red with a Cream leather interior and displaying only c.63,000 miles on the odometer, there are just four former keepers recorded on the V5C. Owned by the vendor for the last 3 years and only covering some 7,000 miles in that period, it appears the car was fully serviced and maintained, with main dealer service history until 55,066 miles in 2016 with Lancaster Jaguar Reading, it was at that point when the previous keeper became ill. Maintenance has included the fitment of a new battery, space-saver spare wheel and four matching 'good-tread' Pirelli 'P zeros' on the car. There's a new centre cap on order for the front nearside wheel and will be fitted before the sale. The car benefits from a very recent MOT (February 2026 expiration) with no advisories as per the last 3 since 2022. On the photography session, our consultant found the Super V8 was a pleasure to be driven in, very quiet on both the suspension and the engine and comfortable too. It is being offered with a comprehensive main dealer service record up to 2016 along with the book pack, 2 keys and a V5C.

Registration No: BRF 298J Chassis No: 1S50447 MOT: ExemptOne of just 2,116 right-hand drive examples and fitted with the desirable manual gearboxMatching chassis and engine numbersOffered with a comprehensive history file including the Jaguar Heritage CertificateDisplaying c.28,000 recorded milesLast of the line, the Jaguar E-type Series III was introduced in 1971. Longer, wider and more comfortable than its predecessors, the newcomer blurred the lines between sports car and grand tourer. Powered by a turbine-smooth all-alloy SOHC 5343cc V12 engine allied to either Jaguar four-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the refined manner in which it performed (contemporary road tests spoke of 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds and 150mph) simply blew road testers away. Benefitting from a broader track, ventilated disc brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and Lucas transistorised ignition, the Series III was visually distinguished by its 'egg-crate' grille, flared wheel arches and purposeful quad-exhaust pipes. Available in Fixed-Head Coupe (2+2-seater) or Roadster (2-seater) guises, it remained in volume production until 1974 (though, a special commemorative run of forty-nine Black-painted roadsters was released the following year).According to the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate on file, chassis 1S50447 was manufactured on the 14th September 1971 and despatched on 6th October 1971 to its first owner via supplying dealer Stanley Harvey & Co and registered as ‘DOI 3113’. Originally specified with a manual gearbox and liveried in Light Blue over a Dark Blue interior, the 12-cylinder E-Type was PDI’d on the 26th October 1971 and delivered to its first owner recorded on its accompanying green logbook, a Mr Thomas Parsons of Holywood, County Down. Mr Parsons only kept the big cat for four years before the next owner took custodianship in 1975 and a notable amount of the original service history on file is credited to this period. Following acquisition by the second owner, the car remained in Northern Ireland until the late 1980s and it was during this time that it caught the eye of esteemed Jaguar historian Philip Porter, who would feature it in his published guide ‘Original Jaguar E-Type’ as the feature car for the Series III chapter.Having left Northern Ireland and now in the custodianship of its Birmingham based fourth owner, 1S50447 was registered as ‘BRF 289J’ and subjected to a comprehensive overhaul which included the independent rear suspension, front suspension and a repaint into the Opalescent Silver Blue Metallic that it presents in today. Following the restoration work, a local pottery maker and classic car collector Mr Tams purchased the 2+2-seater and continued in the same vein with its servicing record, and a note in the history file explains a speedometer swap due to a faulty original instrument at just 19,400 miles. Staying in Mr Tams’ collection until his passing in 2001, the Jaguar was sold via the now defunct ‘The E-Type Centre’ of Birmingham to a Mr Gordon of Ealing, London and was marketed as ‘the best V12 2+2 we’ve ever had’ which is attested to by an accompanying sales document. Cherished by Mr Gordon for some 17 years, the Grand Tourer was used sparingly when he was in the UK, being put into storage for short periods when he was abroad and again adding to the extensive maintenance history when in use until ultimately it was stored from 2007 until 2018 when it was moved onto its previous owner. The previous owner only kept ‘BRF 289J’ until 2021, when it was acquired by the vendor through esteemed E-Type specialists, ‘E-Type UK’ of Kent.The current owner and vendor has seldom had the opportunity to enjoy this low-mileage Coupé, and it has covered only a further c.2,000 miles for events such as the Goodwood Revival and Le Mans Classic since acquisition inbetween long periods of dry-storage in Hampshire. Notably during the vendor’s ownership, however, with long continental tours on his mind, he opted to have a period looking air-conditioning unit newly fitted to make warmer climes more comfortable.During our recent photography appointment, we noted that the mighty 12-cylinder power unit fired up eagerly upon a flick of key and that the clutch and gearbox feel in fine fettle. The vendor pointed out that the paintwork remains in overall ‘good shape’ although several panels are now suffering from areas of micro blistering. The rear suspension unit appears to be sitting up very well although the front suspension is due some attention, displaying a noticeable ‘nose-down’ attitude in comparison to earlier photographs. The interior trim appears to be mostly the original fittings with obvious restoration work having been carried out to achieve perfection where necessary – and we feel that a delightful patina is now exhibited upon the leather seats. The recorded odometer reading at the time of consignment was 8,164 miles and with the original having been changed at 19,433 miles we understand that the total mileage is c.27,600 miles.Now offered for sale without reserve, ‘BRF 289J’ is surely an unrepeatable opportunity to obtain a genuine low mileage car with favoured specification and one of the most comprehensive history files we have encountered for its kind. Supplied with its Heritage Certificate, V5C, numerous receipts for works since new, MOT history, green logbook and original book pack including stamped British Leyland service book, any genuine Jaguar enthusiast should jump at the opportunity!

Registration No: S888 AMV Chassis No: SCFBA03B97GC03011 MOT: November 2025c.67,500 recorded milesA manual gearbox example6 former keepersFollowing the unveiling of the AMV8 Vantage concept car in 2003 at the North American International Auto Show, the production version, known as the V8 Vantage was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005 for the 2006 model year. Featuring bonded aluminium structure for strength and lightness, the V8 Vantage was initially powered by a 4.3-litre quad-cam 32-valve V8 which produced 380 bhp and propelled the car to 60mph in just 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 175mph and benefited from a 49/51 front/rear weight distribution due to its front mid mounted engine with rear mounted transaxle. Later in 2006, Aston introduced their automated manual gearbox option, the sportshift. Sportshift added electro-hydraulic control to the existing Vantage 6-speed manual gearbox to offer improved shift times and replaced the conventional manual gear lever with push button controls and paddles on the steering wheel. The Vantage was an immediate success. Some estimate by the time the car was first shown, some dealers had as much as a three year waiting list and the car was one of only two cars added to BBC Top Gear’s ‘DB9 Section’ mini fridge, reserved for cars even cooler than ‘Sub Zero’. The car would later go on to receive Jeremy Clarkson’s 2005 Best Sounding Car of the Year, and Coolest Car of the Year. Nowadays, the V8 Vantage is still considered one of the best looking cars of all time and has become an undisputed modern classic.PLEASE NOTE: A Library Image is usedMore information to follow: For more information, please contact: Luke Hipkiss luke.hipkiss@handh.co.uk 07886398226

Initial models were produced in a two-door sedan body style with four-cylinder petrol engines. Fuel-injected engines were introduced in late 1975 and 6-cylinder engines were added in 1977. A cabriolet body style - manufactured by Baur- was produced from 1978 to 1981. There was no BMW M3 model for the E21 generation, however, several limited-edition models were produced based on the highest model, the six-cylinder 323i. The E21 was replaced by the E30 3 Series in 1982.Offered from long-term ownership, this 316 displays a credible c.41,000 miles. Presenting in BMW’s iconic colour of Henna Red, this is also a desirable manual gearbox example that is said to be highly original. With the distinctive number of ‘EEE 61Y’, it has just two former keepers recorded on the V5C and comes from 8 years of ownership, benefitting from refurbished period-style 13” BBS alloy in that time. The interior is very original and still has a 1980s radio cassette fitted and the boot lid’s set of tools. It comes to the sale with a large history file that includes a collection of old invoices & MOTs that go some way to evidence the mileage.

The trousers have inked name, tunic has no name.Major Patrick Henry Bligh Wall, served with 48 Royal Marine Commando part of the 4th Commando brigade, when he was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry in action. The recommendation for the award was as follows, “On the night 20/21 Apr, 1945, Major Wall as second-in-command and patrol master of the commando, decided to lead, himself, the first patrol across the River Maas in the Biebosch area, penetrating 7000 yards in front of our forward defence locality. Here, he thrice encountered the enemy in much the same strength as himself and in shooting it out with them, caused them several casualties. Major Wall himself was the only casualty in the patrol and had a slight bullet scratch across his hand. Under Major Wall’s leadership and fired by his example of unflagging energy, the patrol moved about in enemy occupied territory for 36 hours without food, beating the enemy on every occasion they were met. When touch with his boats was lost, Major Wall, though an indifferent swimmer, ordered Lt Kingsley to take over command, and he himself led a small swimming party in a break out attempt. The result of the patrol, which was organised planned and led by Major Wall, was much useful information gained, several casualties, including four killed, inflicted on the enemy without loss to our side. Only the fact that one prisoner was killed by the enemy in a subsequent dash and two others wounded had to be left for humane reasons with morphia, prevented the patrol from bringing back a prisoner.” C&T Auctioneers sold the same officers service dress tunic on 26th July 2022, lot number 652.

To one side of the shell is a indentation, possibly caused by a bullet or shrapnel, this has not pierced the leather however. Overall a good example which has the taken from the battlefield look. In 1914 the regiment was garrisoned at Konstanz with a guard detachment at Hohenzollern Castle. Like all Baden Infantry they formed part of the XIV Army Corps and served on the Western Front during the First World War.
WW2 Polish Air Force Badges and Paperwork Archive of Famous Polish Zoologist and Professor Kajetan Ludwik Boratynski, Being Shot Down and Captured Until Liberation in 1945, a most interesting grouping of items which relates to this officer and also items relating to another Polish air force officer by the name of Sylvester Godlewski who was killed in a flying accident in 1942. The badges in the grouping consist of two variations of Polish Army cap badges, Polish air force cap badge with thin blade fittings to the reverse, RAF pilots wing and a cloth observers wing. Also with the badges is a Polish pilots badge with the remains of the gilt finish to the wreath, screw back fitting with all the details erased and a enamel badge for the Deblin Air Force officers school which is numbered to the reverse ‘386’. Other items of insignia include a identity bracelet engraved with Polish air force eagle and ‘dr BORATYNSKI K F/O P-0615’ a coin bracelet and a pair of Polish air force cuff links with his initials. The paperwork and photograph archive is really interesting also, it includes a number of pre-war, wartime and post war documents. Some of the highlights of the documents include his Polish Army Air Force identity card with uniform photograph dated 19th Mai (May) 1940, pre-war linen identity pass document, 1933 Polish officers service book, etc. Other interesting items are the original documents, single identity disc of the other Polish air force officer, Sylvester Godlewski, including the RAF form 96 ‘Message Form’ informing Boratynski that he had been killed in a flying accident. We are unsure of the relationship between the two men, possibly family members or close friends? Really nice grouping of photographs, including many showing fellow airmen wearing Polish air force uniform and badges etc. Postcards sent to Blackpool, where he was stationed at one time etc. A very interesting grouping which needs to be carefully sorted and looked at, we would recommend personal viewing if possible to appreciate this group. Kajetan Ludwik Boratyński was born on July 27, 1907. After the outbreak of WW2, he evacuated with his unit, avoiding the besieged Warsaw, to the east. On the day of the Soviet aggression against Poland, September 17, 1939, at 10:30, he was taken prisoner by the Red Army in Jagielnica near Czortków. That same evening, he managed to escape from a convoy of prisoners, together with Lieutenant Observer Zbigniew Siarkowski and Second Lieutenant Medical Officer Marian Turski. The next day, at 8:30 p.m. after dark, he forded the Dniester in Zaleszczyki, reaching Romania. Boratyński initially stayed in the city of Călimănești, and then (from 3 to 13 October) in the internment camp in Drăgășani. After receiving a passport from a courier arriving from Bucharest, he escaped and left for Constanța. There, on 20 October, he boarded a ship to France. After a voyage via Istanbul, Piraeus, Alexandria and Beirut, he arrived in Marseille on 13 November 1939. He was sent to the air base in Lyon-Bron. After the establishment of the Aviation Training Centre, on 15 December 1939, he was transferred to Lyon-Foire. Until the fall of France, he served in various positions in the 3rd and 4th Reserve Squadrons of the CWL, to which privates of the air force were assigned. After the fall of France, he was evacuated by sea to Great Britain. From 14 July 1940 he was stationed at the Weeton Air Camp, from where he was transferred to Blackpool Air Force Base on 3 August. He served in the Staff Squadron of the Ground Training Centre. Boratyński applied as a candidate for the flying staff. From 31 January to 14 June 1941 he trained at the theoretical course for gunners-radio operators and navigators in Blackpool. After completing it, he was assigned as an adjutant to the Officers' Squadron of the Ground Training Centre, and then (at the turn of June and July 1941) to the 305th Bomber Squadron "Ziemia Wielkopolska". The unit was stationed at RAF Syerston and was equipped with Wellington IC aircraft. It was quite an unexpected assignment, because at that time all new members of flying bomber squadrons had previously undergone crew integration courses in combat training units. Meanwhile, everything indicates that Boratyński joined the bomber squadron without having previously taken part in a single training flight. Despite this, he took part in three combat flights as a front gunner and also a reserve radio operator. On the night of 9–10 July, he took part in the raid on Osnabrück in the crew of Capt. Pilot Karol Zaucha. On the night of 14–15 July, he flew over Bremen in the crew of Sergeant Pilot Stefan Tomicki, and three nights later he bombed Cologne as a member of the crew of Squadron B commander, Major Pilot Szczepan Ścibior. His superiors quickly realised the mistake concerning Boratyński, and on 16 August 1941 he was assigned to the 9th Air Observer School at RAF Penrhos in Wales. After practical training (he flew Ansons, Blenheims and Defiants), on 19 April 1942 he was assigned to the 18th Operational Training Unit (18 OTU) in Bramcote. He began flying Wellington bombers as part of a crew integration course: mainly navigation flights and practice bombing. On the night of 25–26 June 1942, three crews from 18 OTU completing their training programme were also selected for the planned “thousand bomber raid” on Bremen. Boratyński’s crew took off on board Wellington IC XW-N (DV765): Sergeant Józef Laudan, Rtgt Cpl. Czesław Rajpold, Sergeant Wacław Kowalik and Sergeant Alojzy Pozorski. On the return flight, their plane was attacked and hit by a German night fighter. The seriously damaged Wellington managed to escape the enemy, but some time later its left engine caught fire. The pilot decided to make a forced landing northwest of Leeuwarden in the Netherlands. None of the crew were hurt. The Poles set the plane on fire and then moved forward to get away from the wreckage and avoid capture. That same day, while resting in haystacks, they were arrested by Dutch police and German soldiers. Boratyński was taken to the Dulag Luft 3 transit camp in Oberursel near Frankfurt am Main. From there he was sent to Stalag Luft 3 in Żagań. He was imprisoned in the camp for the next few years and, as it turned out towards the end of the war, he was the only one of over a hundred Poles to be taken prisoner as an airman of the 18th OTU. On 27 January 1945, the prisoners of Stalag Luft 3 were evacuated to the west. Boratyński's group, first marching, then travelling by train, reached the Marlag naval POW camp in Tarmstedt. On 2 April 1945, another evacuation took place from there, marching to Lübeck. Exactly one month later, this group was liberated by British army units. After returning to Great Britain, Boratyński was sent to the Air Force Base in Dunholme Lodge, from where on 25 July 1945 he was transferred to the staff of the Polish liaison officer at the RAF Transport Command in Bushy Head near London as an educational officer and public relations officer.
Royal Air Force Casualty Log Book Grouping, relating to Air Gunner Vivian C Topham No 462 Squadron RAAF who was lost on air operations on the night of 6/7th January 1945. The log book begins with training in March 1944, he was posted to 462 Squadron in late November 1944 with his first operation as a Mid Upper Gunner to Duisburg on 30th November 1944. He flew operationally another four times before his final missing where they were flying as Bomber support in the Ruhr area and his plane was shot down on the return journey, where he and the rest of his crew were killed. He was flying on Halifax Z5 N with his pilot being P/O Rohrlach. What makes this log book interesting and poignant is the large archive of letters and photographs relating to Topham, many written to and from his parents in relation to his first reporting missing and then later notification of him being killed in action, it would appear that he was buried at first with another one of his crew members, as he could not be accurately identified, but later re-interned in military cemetery in his own grave. Apart from the paperwork, other items in the group include photographs, models and items supposedly from the wreck. The archive makes for fascinating reading and brings home the horrors the family’s of lost aircrew must have gone through from notification of their son’s being reported missing to finally being notified of their deaths. Topham was from Turo, Cornwall, appears family later moved to Tiverton, Devon. His father being well known in the city as working with the Post Office and later with the Press, (some documents also relate to him and other members of the family). Commonwealth War Graves Commission shows that Vivian Topham now rests in Hotton war cemetery, Belgium, alongside other members of his crew. He was just 19 at the time of his death.

Historically Important Battle Dress Blouse of the Last British Korean War Prisoner of War to be Released Major David Maurice Sharp, the battle dress is a officer tailored Canadian made WW2 example which he wore with his later service with the 16th Independent company Parachute Regiment. The battle dress has original embroidered shoulder titles, unit designation, Pegasus formation sign, airborne qualified jump wings and parachute regiment cloth rank pips. To the breast is medal ribbon bar for the BEM Military with emblem, General Service medal, Korean War medal, UN Korea medal and US Military Merit medal. The battle dress is not named, however Jon Mills formerly owned the original paperwork (scans will accompany the battle dress) but sold these documents previously, keeping just the battle dress. A history of David Sharp can be found:There were only a handful of Allied soldiers who escaped from POW camps during the Korean War (1950-3) and little is mentioned or generally known in the UK about this war and the men who fought in it. ELMS President, Major David Sharp, was one of the few who escaped. Although British authorities officially denied any British personnel were on special operations in Korea, there were in fact five.David enlisted in 1945, and was posted to the Far East in 1946 on ‘special duties’, before becoming an instructor in Jungle Warfare. After the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950, the US Army were looking for personnel with ‘behind the lines’ experience and David volunteered, serving with them on intelligence operations deep inside North Korea from the end of 1950 until the end of March 1951. David was due to be returned to his Battalion, when the Battle of The Imjin River occurred and he was wounded and captured whilst trying to break a Chinese road-block. He was left injured at the side of a road, with several others, without any treatment or assistance for five days. Eventually, recognising that the wounded men were no threat, some Chinese soldiers gave them food and two days later the wounded soldiers were put into the back of a pony wagon and taken to the POW collection point. Once there, David faced his first of many interrogations and three weeks later he was put onto a death-march of over300 miles. It was during the march that he made his first escape attempt; but after four days he was re-captured by Chinese troops. David was ‘worked over’ and returned to the march. He later arrived at a place called Mun-Hari, where several ‘special’ POWs [including David] were taken away from the column and interrogated severely; this included being bound with rope and placed in a bunker for 28 days; and being tied to a tree in front of a firing squad who then went through the very realistic motions of being about to shoot him – this was intended to frighten him, and David admits that it did! After another march north, David’s interrogation and confinement continued until February 1952, when he was placed in front of a tribunal and accused of being an intelligence agent and being a ‘disturbing element in the POW camps’ – i.e. causing trouble for the Chinese authorities. He was sentenced to be transferred to a ‘special place’ then handed over to the Korean Security Police and put into a Korean jail. Whilst in jail, David was joined by Lieutenant Leo Adams-Acton, who had also been a member of the UN partisan forces, and who had been captured in December 1951. Although both men were in isolation, they managed to established communication. They eventually escaped, but were re-captured after 4 ½ weeks on the run and placed back in Chong Song.David was later moved to Ogye Dong Penal Camp, and remained there until June 1953. He has the dubious privilege of being the last British POW to be handed over by the Chinese on 06 September 1953; they insisted he was the last prisoner to leave the truck! Lieutenant Leo Adams-Acton, with whom David escaped, was executed by the Chinese in July 1953, the very month that the Korean War ended. Following his release David was awarded the British Empire Medal in 1954 and also the Korean Partisan Honour Medal; Lieutenant Adams-Acton was posthumously awarded the Military Cross for a very Gallant Operation.Following his release David was awarded the British Empire Medal in 1954 and also the Korean Partisan Honour Medal. He is said to have been the CO of 16th Independent Parachute Company. The citation for the British Empire medal is as follows: ‘Sergeant Sharp was the intelligence sergeant of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, at the time of his capture on 25th April 1951, at the battle of IMJIN River. Shortly after his capture, the nature of his appointment became suspected by the Chinese and he underwent brutal and prolonged series of interrogations, during the greater part of which time his arms remains bound and he was denied even the simplest requirements of daily life including the opportunity to wash or visit the latrine. He gave no information to his captors; and they finally convinced he knew nothing released him. Not long afterwards he was re-arrested for his activities directed against the Chinese in the form of instruction to defy political indoctrination and military interrogation, and for his part in escape attempts. Again subjected to brutal interrogation, he remained obdurate and, finally, was sent to a special camp for recalcitrant other ranks prisoners. Throughout his captivity, Sergeant Sharp set the highest example of integrity, loyalty and courage. He never failed to do his duty. Frequently he did a great deal more than the normal call of duty demanded.’

The Rare and Historically Important British South Africa Company Medal for Matabeleland to a Trooper in the Salisbury Horse Who Was One of the 34 Men Killed in Wilson’s Famous Last Stand at the Shangani River in December 1893, British South Africa Company Medal 1890-97 with Matabeleland 1893 reverse, engraved in the correct style, “TRPR W P DEVAS SALISBURY H”. Generally good condition.Noted on the medal roll of the British South Africa Company for Matabeleland as Trooper Philip Wouter De Vos (Dead) with a subsequent comment, ‘one of Wilson’s party’.The Shangani Patrol (or Wilson's Patrol) was a 34-soldier unit of the British South Africa Company that in 1893 was ambushed and annihilated by more than 3,000 Matabele warriors in pre-Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), during the First Matabele War. Headed by Major Allan Wilson, the patrol was attacked just north of the Shangani River in Matabeleland, Rhodesia. Its dramatic last stand, sometimes called "Wilson's Last Stand", achieved a prominent place in the British public imagination and, subsequently, in Rhodesian history, similarly to events such as the Battle of the Little Bighorn and the Battle of the Alamo in the United States.The patrol comprised elements of the Mashonaland Mounted Police and the Bechuanaland Border Police. Scouting ahead of Major Patrick Forbes’s column attempting the capture of the Matabele King Lobengula (following his flight from his capital Bulawayo a month before), it crossed the Shangani late on 3 December 1893 and moved on Lobengula the next morning but was ambushed by an estimated 3000 Matabele riflemen and warriors near the king's wagon. Surrounded and outnumbered about a hundred-fold, the patrol made a valiant last stand as three of its number broke out and rode back to the river to muster reinforcements from Major Forbes’s column on the south bank of the river. However, the Shangani had risen significantly in flood, and Forbes was himself involved in a skirmish near the southern bank so was unable to send help; Wilson and his men therefore remained isolated to the north. After fighting to the last cartridge, and killing over ten times their own number, they were annihilated.What happened to the Shangani Patrol is known only from Matabele sources. Witness accounts were slowly gathered over three decades following the affair and various versions of events were offered. According to these accounts, the warriors offered the remaining Troopers their lives if they surrendered, but Wilson's men refused to give up. They used their dead horses for cover and killed more than ten times their own number (about 500 was estimated), but they were steadily whittled down as the overwhelming Matabele force closed in from all sides. The Company soldiers continued fighting even when grievously wounded, to the astonishment of the Matabele, who thought the soldiers must be bewitched: "These are not men but magicians," said one Matabele induna.The remains of the patrol's members were buried on the battle ground and were later moved to be interred at Worlds View, in the Matopos Hills, alongside the body of Cecil Rhodes as per the request in his will.Provenance: Purchased by current vendor from well respected dealer in British Campaign & Gallantry medals Rennie Alcock.

William Lidstone McKnight, DFC & Bar was a Canadian flying ace of WW2. He was Canada's fifth-highest scoring ace of the war. McKnight joined the Royal Air Force in early 1939 and served in No. 242 Squadron RAF during the final phase of the Battle of France, covering the Allied retreat from Brittany, and later the Battle of Britain. McKnight's aircraft wore a distinct cartoon of a jackboot kicking Adolf Hitler on the port side of the engine cowling. His Hurricane also carried a human skeleton image which held a sickle in its hand under the cockpit, on both sides of the aircraft. McKnight scored 17 victories, as well as two shared and three unconfirmed kills. McKnight was shot down and killed on 12 January 1941 during a fighter sweep over Calais.
