1923 MORRIS COWLEY "BULLNOSE" - 2-SEATER & DICKEY TOURER Chassis No: 17927 Engine No: 24861 Registration No: NL 4855 Date of first registration: 23rd March 1923 Specification: 4-cylinders in-line side-valve 12HP motor, with three-speed gearbox, rear-wheel mechanical brakes, live rear-axle with semi-elliptic spring suspension all round. Colour scheme: Grey with black wings and grey "Rexine" interior. Tan Hood. History: The first of a long line of "Bullnose" radiator pattern models was offered to the public in 1913, and proved to be a most popular and successful versatile machine bringing affordable motoring to a wider market. This version of several uprated variants of preceding models replaced the original Morris "Bullnose" which had served for many years as the leading mass-production model of a sporting light-car. This particular vehicle represents a very good serviceable example of one of the early survivors of the model-type in its original format, which is now becoming somewhat hard to source. Original in detail including period colour-scheme, the car is accompanied by a file of related paperwork dating back to the late 1950s, including current V5 document, together with sundry bills, invoices and related correspondence etc. It shows little known history prior to the mid-1950s, when the then owner applied for membership of the Bullnose Club Register, (a letter signed by Lytton H. Jarman the well-known Morris historian appears in the file) and subsequently reappeared at auction during the late 1980s via Keys of Aylsham and Sotheby's in 1989, around which time it appears to have been restored and its original registration re-applied for, being purchased by the late owner some 20 years ago. Condition: An older-restoration vehicle, presented as in very good usable running order, having been constantly well-maintained by its late owner. It has an excellent hood and weather equipment in light-tan double-duck canvas material, and amongst more recent bills, shows a completely rebuilt radiator with costs in excess of £1,000.

Colour scheme: Blue with black wings. HISTORY: Introduced to the public in c1926, this upgraded version of the preceding model and its several variants replaced the original Morris "Bullnose" which had served for many years as the leading mass-production model of a sporting light-car. This particular vehicle represents a good serviceable example of one of the early survivors of the model-type in its original format, which is now becoming somewhat scarce. Condition: an older-restoration vehicle, presented as in good usable running order, having been constantly well-maintained by its late owner. It has a good serviceable hood and weather equipment. It is accompanied by an extensive file of related paperwork offered with the car dating back to the late 1930s, including current V5 document, two older style log-books one dating back to 1938, another former continuation original log-book, together with many sundry bills, invoices and related correspondence etc; from which it may be concluded that this vehicle has been owned by several studious & careful owners during its 90 years in service
1934 MORRIS "TEN-SIX"- SPORTSMANS 2-DOOR SALONNETTE COUPE WITH FAUX CABRIOLET COACHWORK Chassis No: 17927 Engine No: 55458 Registration No: JO 8706 Date of first registration: 23rd March 1934 Specification: 6-cylinders in-line pushrod overhead-valve 10HP-rated motor, with four-speed gearbox, four-wheel mechanical brakes, live rear-axle with semi-elliptic spring suspension all round. Colour scheme: Black with black wings and black fabric roof; tan leather interior. History: By the early 1930s the well-tried, trusted and proven range of Morris Cars primarily based on their reliable side-valve engined types proved the need for a more modern approach in-line with developments in the industry. The range of cars introduced in late 1933 and early 1934 saw a new premise for the more discerning motorist, with a more sporting outlook in both design and performance. The new "Ten-Six" overhead-valve motor would become the basis for a range of more sporting machines, with bespoke coachwork offering in open & closed formats in both two and four-seater variants. Type MT12. Car No. 34/TS 24187. Engine No. 55458. Sadly, for all that the car represents, both a rarity and excellent state of preservation and appearance, the history file is very thin with no previous ownership evidence seemingly available. However, a complete engine rebuild was carried out in c1998, and from all appearances it would seem that much of the rest of the car was completely refurbished to a high standard. Condition: A fine detail is the original enamelled dashboard suppliers plate inscribed "The Morris Garages - Oxford" - this being a rare item in itself. The vehicle appears in excellent restored condition: black paintwork with leather interior trim, with opening windscreen and sliding-head sunroof. A rare model - well maintained in original specification condition. There are no old-style logbooks, but a current V5C document is present in the file, which shows the late owner to have been registered keeper of this car since 1985
1935 MORRIS 8 SERIES I - TWO-SEATER SPORTS-TOURER Chassis No: S1/E 55681 Engine No: B51650 Registration No: JU 7058 Date of first registration: 31st August 1935 Specification: 4-cylinders in-line side-valve 8HP motor, with three-speed gearbox, four-wheel mechanical brakes, live rear-axle with semi-elliptic spring suspension all round. Colour scheme: Black with black wings. History: Introduced to the public in c1934, this model and its several variants replaced the original Morris "Minor" which had served for many years as a direct competitor to the rival Austin Seven and its derivatives. This car represents a good serviceable example of the model-type in its original format, which is now becoming somewhat scarce. Condition: an older-restoration vehicle, presented as in good usable running order, having been constantly well-maintained by its late owner. It has a good serviceable hood and full tonneau-cover, and has an original folding luggage-rack to rear. A selection of small tools are included in the under-bonnet tray. It is accompanied by a file of related paperwork offered with the car dating back to the early 1970s, including current V5 document, two older style log-books one dating back to 1948, another former continuation original log-book & copy c1960s, together with sundry bills, invoices and correspondence etc
1934 MORRIS "SPECIAL TEN-SIX"- 4-SEATER OPEN SPORTS-TOURER COACHWORK Chassis No: 35/TS/SP36676 Engine No: 4228 Registration No: ABP 460 Date of first registration: 18TH September 1934 Specification: 1,378cc 6-cylinders in-line pushrod overhead-valve 10HP-rated motor, twin-carburettor with four-speed gearbox, four-wheel mechanical brakes, live rear-axle with semi-elliptic spring suspension all round. Colour scheme: Red with black wings and matching red leather interior. History: By the early 1930s the well-tried trusted and proven range of Morris Cars primarily based on their reliable side-valve engined types proved the need for a more modern approach in-line with developments in the industry. The range of cars introduced in late 1933 and early 1934 saw a new premise for the more discerning motorist, with a more sporting outlook in both design and performance. The new "Ten-Six" overhead-valve motor would become the basis for a range of more sporting machines with bespoke coachwork options in open & closed formats and two and four-seater variants. Type MT12. Car No. 35/TS/SP 36676. Engine No. 4228. Sadly, for all that the car represents, both a rarity and excellent state of preservation and appearance, the history file is very thin with no previous ownership evidence seemingly available prior to 1978. However, a there is evidence of a complete engine rebuild carried out in c2013, and from all appearances it would seem that much of the rest of the car was at some time completely refurbished to a high standard. The open touring coachwork shows a very sporting appearance with heavily louvred bonnet & side valances, wind-deflecting double-raised scuttle and low fold-flat windscreen, whilst the dashboard layout has a well-defined plated instrument panel with large combination tacho/speedometer and full range of clock & dial-gauges, complemented with a racing-style "Ashby"-pattern 4-spoke steering-wheel and two-eared dummy knock-off hubcap covers to Magna-pattern wire-spoked wheels, and further with fitted stone-guards to the imposing headlamps and matching heavily-chromed bright-work. The "Morris Special" ethos is entailed in the polished alloy rocker-cover and unique enamel circular badge to the spare-wheel cover with "MS" logo motif. Condition: The vehicle appears in excellent restored condition: red paintwork with contrasting black wings and red leather interior trim and black double-duck canvas hood. An extremely rare model of a very limited production run of this particular type: the fore-runner of the later VA & WA tourers of the later 1930s. Very well maintained in original specification condition. There are no old-style logbooks, but a current V5C & older V5 document is present in the file, which shows the late owner to have been registered keeper of this car since 1993, and one prior owner dating back to 1978

From V5 and V5C documentation, it shows the car was acquired by the late owner in late 1989, and there is a comprehensive file of further documentation showing extensive bills for regular servicing, running repairs & maintenance, from several marque specialists including Hoffmans of Henley and Priory Vintage Car Company, and further including a recent major engine & mechanical rebuild during 2008/2009, with significant sums of expenditure including new cylinder head and cylinder-blocks replacement, as well as other major components.

The nickel-plating is in good condition and there are additional CAV "Divers Helmet" rear-lamps fitted to accommodate electrical indicators within such period fittings. There is a large fitted trunk to rear with tools to upper compartment and stowage for tonneau-cover and related sundries.

The subject of an older restoration, 'WU 6110' is a rare example of a Rolls-Royce 20hp having all matching numbers in excellent order with its original-fitted body

ROBERT HUNTER gouache - abstract, entitled 'The Way Brings Forth', signed and dated '74, 17 x 15cms Auctioneers Note: Robert Hunter (1920-1996) of Liverpool was awarded the Military Cross for distinguished service in the Second World War. He studied at Liverpool College of Art (1946-50) and at Southampton University before moving to Wales where he was appointed as a lecturer at the art department of Trinity College Carmarthen in 1952. The formation of the 56 Group and the coming together of like-minded artists acted as a fillip and he was to remain a member of the Group until 1984. His work was, at first, more abstract and then changed when he discovered the Celtic symbolism that would shape his style for the rest of his career. Please also see Lot 219.
'WALES GREATEST EVER' - SIR GARETH EDWARDS' INTERNATIONAL WELSH RUGBY JERSEY MATCH WORN V IRELAND IN 1977 The jersey from the 25-9 victory in Cardiff Arms Park is in excellent condition with the collars, labels and No.9 on the back. It has been remarked within rugby memorabilia circles that Sir Gareth 'keeps his jerseys' and that if an opportunity arises to purchase one at auction then it would be a rare opportunity indeed. Provenance: letters to accompany the jersey outlining the ownership history of the jersey and confirming that Sir Gareth had verified its authenticity. Sir Gareth gave the jersey directly to Mr Ken Rees after the match, the jersey then passed on to the current owner during a charity auction in 2007. There is also an email from former Wales International Neil Boobyer stating that Sir Gareth had confirmed that the jersey was given to Mr Rees after the match. The 1970s are regarded as the glory years of Welsh rugby and there were many great and entertaining players. However it is Gareth Edwards that we think of first when recalling those fantastic amateur years. Sir Gareth Edwards CBE, the son of a coalminer was raised in the mining community of Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen near Neath, South Wales. It was in Pontardawe Technical School that his sporting prowess first came to the fore and where he excelled academically winning a scholarship to the elite Public School of Millfield in Somerset. Here he found a natural ability for many different sports - he played football for West Wales Youth and signed for Swansea City at the age of 16. He also showed promise in gymnastics, tennis and athletics but it was clear by the age of seventeen that rugby was goinpg to be his sport and scrum-half his position. Edwards gained his first cap against France at the age of 19 in 1967. He went on to win 53 caps over eleven years including 13 as captain. He was Wales' youngest ever captain at the age of 20. Sir Gareth was blessed with having two of the most celebrated and natural fly-halves on his shoulder in Barry John and Phil Bennett and it was said that both scrum-half and either of the respective fly-halves had an uncanny telepathic-like understanding on the pitch. All Sir Gareth's caps were won in succession and there was never an injury or a dip in form that kept him off the team-sheet. In all Sir Gareth scored twenty International tries for Wales. During this era, Wales were dominant in the Five Nations Championship - winning the title seven times and taking three Grand Slams. Edwards was named Player of the Year in Wales in 1969, he was awarded the prestigious BBC Wales Sports Personality of the year in 1974 and received and MBE in 1975. Edwards played for the British & Irish Lions ten times and was part of the legendary 1971 winning series in New Zealand and the 1974 unbeaten South Africa tour side. He spent his entire senior club career with Cardiff RUFC, scoring 69 tries in 195 matches. He was also the scorer of 'that try'. The legendary 1973 Barbarians effort v New Zealand, regarded as the 'best try ever scored'. In 2001 Sir Gareth Edwards was voted the 'Greatest Welsh Player of all time' by the Welsh Rugby Former International Players Association' and in a 2003 poll by Rugby World magazine, Edwards was declared the greatest player of all time. he was one of only fifteen former players inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame including team-mate Barry John and JPR Williams. He is also the subject of a plaque in the Rugby Pathway of Fame in Rugby, Warwickshire. Sir Gareth Edwards was knighted in 2015.
