Lot 66

1967 Jaguar MKII 3.4-Litre Saloon ProjectRegistration no. MYD 610EChassis no. 171505Engine no. KJ10902-8Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt *Desirable manual/overdrive transmission*Off the road for many years*Restoration started*Offered for completionOne of the most readily recognised cars of the 1960s, thanks in part to countless appearances in films and on television, Jaguar's seminal Mark 2 saloon set the standard for the class throughout its entire production life and today remains highly prized by enthusiasts. A progressive development of the Mark 1, Jaguar's first unitary-construction saloon, the Mark 2 made its debut in October 1959. Slimmer windscreen pillars and deeper side windows greatly enlarged the Mark 2's glass area, while the deletion of its predecessor's full-sized rear wheel spats allowed the rear track to be widened, a move which increased roll resistance and stability. Otherwise, running gear remained much the same as before, with independent front suspension by wishbones and coil springs, a leaf-sprung live rear axle and Dunlop servo-assisted disc brakes (optional at first on the Mark 1 but standard from November 1957) on all four wheels. A redesigned dashboard with speedometer and rev-counter ahead of the driver and the minor gauges grouped in the centre established Jaguar's layout for years to come. Transmission options were either a four-speed manual (overdrive optional) or Borg-Warner automatic gearbox, an improved all-synchromesh version of the former being specified from 1965.This example of Jaguar's ever-popular Mark 2 was purchased by the lady vendor's husband circa 2005, having been in the preceding owner's possession since 1977 and garaged unused for 17 years. Restoration was started but due to the owner's ill health remains unfinished. Offered in need of further restoration, the car comes with an old-style logbook and is sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 22/100Bidders 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.

1955 Land Rover Series 1 86' 4x4 Fire TenderRegistration no. SXF 115Chassis no. 111700954Odometer reading: 36,026MOT: 14/09/2022*Purchased from the second owner in 2001*Largely original maintained but unrestored condition*Only 36,026 miles from new*Offered from a prominent UK private collectionThis Land Rover was first registered in February 1955 to the Auxiliary fire service, registration number SXF 115, where it spent the first 20 years or so of its life. It then moved to an estate in Suffolk and remained there until 2001 when it was bought by the current owner and moved to his estate in Sussex, where it has seen light work for the last 20 years. The mileage indicated is 35,000 and entirely plausible and believed to be correct. The vehicle has been maintained and road licensed continuously whilst in current ownership. Since MOTs became optional it has not been MOTd, but it has just passed an MOT which expires in October 2022. The brakes required servicing and a chassis outrigger replaced. A new petrol tank has been fitted recently and the radiator has been replaced or reconditioned at some stage. Replacement seats were fitted some years ago. The engine runs sweetly and the vehicle drives well, but is original and very scruffy. It will be driven 100 miles to the auction. The vehicle comes with V5 document, current MOT, some old MOT certificates, some old licence discs and the tilt frame.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 63/100Bidders 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.

Lot 2001

A Victorian 'scrap' album containing a large collection of autographed letters, documents, 'clipped' signatures, envelope fronts and other ephemera, to include examples from 18th and 19th century prominent figures - Royalty, peers, prime ministers, military figures, church worthies, writers and scientists; many items loose in sleeves or attached to pages, approx 100 signed pieces to include:1727 letter from George II (written by Talbot Yelverton, 1st Earl of Sussex), to General John Leslie, 10th Earl of Rothes, commanding him to attend the 4th October coronation of George II and Caroline of Ansbach (Sussex presided over the ceremonies). Signed to the top by George II. The page with further cut-out of George III’s signature verso. John Leslie, 10th Earl of Rothes, was a Scottish representative peer and senior British Army officer. The coronation was postponed by a week and actually took place on 11th October because of the danger of the River Thames bursting its banks at Westminster 1761 document signed by Augustus Keppel (Royal Navy officer and politician) authorizing the transport of payment for troops under the command of Major General Hodgson in an expedition against Belle Isle. The monies was transported upon the (first incarnation of) Temeraire. Counter-signed by Admiral Duncan and George Rogers (secretary), bearing seal for the Albemarle family (Keppel). The island of Belle-Île, just off Brittany, was taken by the British in 1761 during the Seven Years War. 1762 signed note from Admiral George Bridges Rodney arranging a meeting on St Christopher Island (St Kitts) and to await his arrival or orders. As commander of the ship Marlborough (from on-board which this note is written), Rodney was a key part in taking the Caribbean islands from the French and Spanish in the Seven Years War. 1779 military remittance notice signed to the top by George III, authorizing the payment of £19,193.6.10 to Benjamin Smith, William Fitzhugh and Simon Halliday for supplying provisions to the British troops in the American Revolutionary War. Further signed by Lord North (Prime Minister), Viscount Beauchamp and 2nd Viscount Palmerston. These men amongst many other merchants were paid for “for provisions delivered into our stores at Corke (Cork) for the use of the forces serving in America”. Due to Cork being the last docking point for ships sailing to America, the war led to a huge increase in trade in the area by merchants supplying the British military with essential supplies. However, this in turn caused growing calls for Irish independence or at the very least freer trade with England. 1803 military commission appointment notice signed to the top by George III, from Secretary at War Charles Yorke to Henry Kelvington, with royal seal. 1813 invitation from the Princess of Wales (Caroline of Brunswick, later Queen Caroline) to Lady Perceval stating that she “would wish to see you a moment alone”. Lady Perceval was the widow of Prime Minister Spencer Perceval, who was assassinated on 11 May 1812 (the only British PM to have been assassinated). The letter is black-edged to denote mourning. Caroline was rejected by her husband, the Prince Regent (later George IV) shortly after their marriage, however many, including Spencer Perceval, supported her. Princess Caroline was also godmother to the Perceval’s youngest child. 1824 passport signed by the Prince de Polignac (Ambassador to Great Britain and later French Prime Minister) issued to English lawyer and author Francis Ludlow Holt. 1825 cheque from Drummond’s bank (now owned by NatWest) signed by John Franklin (Arctic explorer) to pay Mr Churton £13.11.0. This was signed just two weeks before Franklin left Britain for the Mackenzie Expedition. Circa 1820s signed letter from the Duke of Buckingham & Chandos refusing the loan of his paintings to a British Institution exhibition. 1856 cheque from Barclay, Bevan, Tritton & Co bank (subsumed into Barclay’s) signed by William Jackson Hooker (botanist) to pay Rev. Jepson (or Jessop) for one guinea. 1865 letter from William Jackson Hooker regarding the science of Botany and referencing botanists Professor Robert Bentley and Dr Shepherd Thomas Taylor, also mentioning an engagement with Miss Burdett Coutts . Hooker became the first director of Kew Gardens, and Angela Burdett-Coutts (known as the richest heiress in Britain) was a philanthropist with many interests – one of these was Botany and she made many donations to Kew Gardens. 1885 membership slip for Dean Davey to the Palestine Pilgrims’ Text Society signed by Walter Besant. 1877 postcard notes from William Gladstone regarding his forthcoming trip to Wales. Further letters to include from Sir Austin Henry Layard (archaeologist); Sir Astley Cooper (surgeon) recommending soda water for an ailment; Peter Turnerelli (sculptor to the Royal family); various letters regarding patronages to include from MP Lord Richard Grenville Temple, Sir Scrope Bernard, Henry Fox Lord Holland, Lord Albermarle etc; note from painter Abraham cooper etc. Pasted-in cut-out signatures to include George IV, Charles Dickens (an envelope front addressed to solicitor Edward De Gex, and a Stereoscopic Company carte de visite with facsimile signature), Edward VII, George V, Lord Ellenborough (with seal), Horace Walpole, Thomas 2nd Earl Nelson, General Gordon, Florence Nightingale, Lord Brougham, Joseph Hume, Lord Chatham, Robert Peel, Viscount Palmerston, etc (many being franked envelope fronts, with one bearing embossed pink penny stamp). Other ephemera to include newspaper cuttings, carte de visite, engravings and sketches, hand-written notes listing some of the autographs, Royal timelines and notable events; and several blank pages.Provenance: The album was put together by William Harrison Davey (1825-1917), who was Dean of Llandaff 1897-1913. Over the course of Dean Davey’s life and career, which spanned the reigns of George IV, William IV, Victoria, Edward VII and George V, he accumulated a mass of autographs, ephemera and correspondence from notable persons of those eras. He was personally known to Victorian Prime Ministers Gladstone and Disraeli, and corresponded with other notables of the period in his role as Dean of Llandaff. The album has remained within the Dean's family until this point.
