1998 Rover Metro 100 Ascot SE diesel, 1,527cc. Registration number R759 SVN. Chassis number SAXXPFNBDBD151792. Engine number 10FY6C1 404835.The 1990 Rover Metro was announced to the world with one simple word: 'Metromorphosis'. It might have looked like the 1980 original, but thanks to all new K-Series engines under the bonnet and intelligent suspension modifications which gave excellent ride quality, the Metro emerged as a class-leading supermini. To drive, it really was a whole new ball game, with sweet spinning engines, supple ride and Rover 200 seats up front with a re-angled steering column for a big car driving position. In January 1995, the Metro was given its final facelift as the Rover 100. The Ascot was one of the special editions at the end of the Metro/100 line and used a Peugeot diesel engine.This low owner and low mileage example, 10,170 has lead a gentle life and is presented in good overall condition. Sold with the V5C, and a copy of its MOT history back to 2006 to back this current mileage. Its last MOT expired in September 2021.

'PANK-A-SQUITH''Pank-a-Squith' board game, the coloured printed board depicting a spiral of illustrated squares within a purple, green and white striped border, folding board with centre hinge, 'lizard' patterned outer red boards, 'Pank-A-Squith' embossed in black, 450 x 450mm., lacking game pieces and sheet of rules, [Germany, 1909]Footnotes:Named for the key opponents in the struggle for votes for women, Emmeline Pankhurst and the then Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, this rare board game was first advertised in Votes for Women on 22 October 1909, and was one of several games sold via the Women's Social and Political Union in order to disseminate propaganda and raise funds. The aim of the game was to reach the Houses of Parliament and the goal of Universal Suffrage whilst encountering various events and difficulties along the way. Square 6, for example, shows a suffragette breaking the windows of the Home Office, 16 exhorts the player to 'send a penny to Suffragette Funds' and square 43 depicts the forced feeding of hunger strikers. Other squares represent Holloway Prison and the Great Votes for Women Demonstration in Hyde Park. The six game pieces shaped as suffragettes and the sheet of rules which would have originally accompanied the board are not present.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
'PANKO' - PLAYING CARDS'Panko or Votes for Women. The Great Card Game. Suffragists v. Anti-Suffragists' [complete pack of 48 pictorial playing cards], pictures by E. T. Reed of 'Punch', printed in black, red, purple and green, versos with purple on white geometric design, in original card slip case within outer printed box, lacking bottom panel of box only, worn and marked, 97 x 72mm., London, Peter Gurney Ltd., c.1909Footnotes:'GAOL! GAOL! GAOL!' – 'PANKO OR VOTES FOR WOMEN': A complete set of the uncommon un-numbered edition.This is generally thought to be an earlier variant of the game, although no firm precedent has been established. It is identical to other variations but printed without the red and green numbers in the opposing corners. A version with the versos in blue rather than purple is also known. The rule sheet for this set (not present) also differs in that it would have had a list of twelve rules and no extended explanation of the points system. It was first advertised in Votes for Women in December 1909 and suffragette and diarist Mary Blathwayt is known to have given a set of Panko to her mother for Christmas that year.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
'PANKO' - PLAYING CARDS'Panko or Votes for Women. The Great Card Game. Suffragists v. Anti-Suffragists' [complete pack of 48 pictorial playing cards], illustrations by E. T. Reed of 'Punch', printed in black, red, purple and green, each card numbered 10, 20, 30 or 40 in red or green, versos with purple on white geometric design, with printed sheet of rules, creased and marked, in original card slip case, lacking base panel, within outer printed box lacking both end panels, worn, 97 x 72mm., London, Peter Gurney Ltd., c.1909 (2)Footnotes:'PANK! PANK! PANK!' – 'PANKO OR VOTES FOR WOMEN': A complete set of the popular Suffragist card game with sheet of rules.The pack comprises four Suffragist suits and four Anti-Suffragist suits, each of six cards, the object being to exchange cards and collect a complete suit in a game similar to rummy. The present set has the points printed on each in red (for Anti-Suffragists) or green (for the Suffragists) and its original printed sheet of ten rules. The game, costing two shillings, was widely distributed by the Women's Social and Political Union, the advertisement claiming 'Not only is each picture in itself an interesting memento, but the game produces intense excitement without the slightest taint of bitterness', and was used a way of subtly disseminating propaganda into domestic circles. As Elizabeth Crawford writes, 'the translation of the mechanics of the women's suffrage campaign into board and card games was a masterstroke that originated from within the Women's Social and Political Union. Not only were funds raised, but the message of the cause was brought into domestic circles where more rabid propaganda might not have been welcomed' (Crawford, E., The Women's Suffrage Movement, A Reference Guide 1866-1928, 1999, p.235)For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
WALLACE-DUNLOP (MARION)Two autograph letters signed ('Marion Wallace-Dunlop') to Mr Hankinson, writing shortly after her release from Holloway, the first saying she has been discharged ('...I felt a little mean in entering prison as a Unitarian for I am what people call a Free thinker... Miss Pankhurst had especially told me to apply for you. I also knew you were a friend of our movement all the same I had an uncomfortable feeling I was not quite playing the game and I'm quite glad we never met! Please excuse this untidy letter... The doctor strictly forbids my getting up as I am still weak from my long fast...'); the second asking about Unitarianism and asking him to pass on her advice to fellow hunger strikers ('...I can't help feeling a little anxious about the stone throwers who will probably go to prison today. I do hope they won't try & follow my example... for young healthy women with normal appetites starvation would be horrible torture... I am naturally a very small eater... If you see any of them please tell them to keep on drinking water, to lie down all the time, to think of other things and above all to keep their minds on the funny side of it all...'), 7 pages, 8vo (168 x 124mm.), Ellerslie Tower, Ealing, W., 9 July and 'Monday' [1909]; with a letter of discharge from James Scott, Governor of H.M.P. Holloway dated 8 July 1909 (3)Footnotes:'TELL THEM TO KEEP ON DRINKING WATER, TO LIE DOWN ALL THE TIME, TO THINK OF OTHER THINGS AND ABOVE ALL TO KEEP THEIR MINDS ON THE FUNNY SIDE OF IT ALL': The instigator of the hunger strike gives advice to fellow inmates.Scottish artist Marion Wallace-Dunlop was the first to undertake a hunger strike in prison, an action which became a powerful and emotive tool in the suffragette fight for the vote. An active member of the WSPU she was arrested several times and in June 1909 she was imprisoned for stencilling an advertisement for the 29 June deputation to the House of Commons and an inflammatory message on the wall of St Stephen's Hall (see lot....). She fasted for 91 hours before she was released: 'As with all the weapons employed by the WPSU, its first use sprang directly from the decision of a sole protagonist...' (Crawford, p.179). Her success quickly led to the adoption of the hunger strike as official policy of the WSPU and the subsequent government practice of force-feeding a few months later. She asked Hankinson to visit her at the request of Emmeline Pankhurst who perhaps saw him as a useful conduit of information between prison and the outside world but it would appear from these letters that they never actually met. Resourceful and determined, as demonstrated in our letters, she also devised a new stencilling machine to quickly add messages to the walls of Downing Street, designed many of the spectacular WSPU processions and was one of the organisers of the window-smashing campaign of November 1911. She was close to the Pankhursts and was a pallbearer at Mrs Pankhurst's funeral in 1928. Provenance: The Rev. Frederick Hankinson (1875-1960); Reginald Andrew Couzens (b.1904); thence by descent to the present owner.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
