Classic looks, superb performance and only14,065 miles (warranted).One of only 69 right-hand drive, manual gearbox 575s supplied to the UKFactory-fitted Fiorano Handling Pack, Daytona Seats and Scuderia ShieldsComprehensive history file, last serviced and MOT’d in September 2020Cherished Registration number V12 FHP will remain on the vehicleModern Classic Ferrari V12 Grand Tourer that ticks all of the boxes, specification, mileage, and history.Ferrari introduced the 550 Maranello in a bid to revive their fabled line of grand tourers, and the 550 quickly proved to be an overwhelming success. Six years later, in 2002, the 575M Maranello appeared bringing with it a host of healthy updates adding additional potency to an already incredible car. Increasing the displacement of the V-12 by 250 cubic centimetres to 5748cc, resulted in 508bhp and 434lb/ft of torque, 0-60 in 4.2 seconds and an advertised top speed of 202 mph. The front end was slightly revised with newer headlights, a redesigned air intake and front spoiler, and the weight distribution was improved to 50/50. Two six-speed transmissions were available – a conventional manual gearbox and, for the first time on a Ferrari V12, Magneti Marelli’s semi-automatic (electro-hydraulic manual) ‘F1’ gearbox. Further mechanical improvements included bigger brakes and an adaptive suspension set-up (the four independent suspension units are also controlled by the gearbox, to minimise pitch throughout the 200-milliseconds gear shift time). Inside, the interior was modernised and refreshed with an updated dashboard, trim, and steering wheel.This is one of only 69 examples of the 575M supplied to the UK market with the desirable open gate six speed manual gearbox and has covered just 14,065 miles from new. Finished in the great colour scheme of Grigio Titanio with Crema hide, it is even rarer in featuring the Fiorano handling pack, a factory option that transforms the handling and road holding and regarded as essential by the motoring press at the time.Our vendor has cherished this Ferrari in every respect during his ownership, maintaining the impressive service history (most recent service and MOT dated September 2020), and adding to the original build specification with the addition of a partial set of Crema 550 luggage, a specialised tailored car cover, plus the original car and seat covers, with a tracker fitted for extra security.Both sets of original keys and three key fobs, service & maintenance books, leather wallet & torch, and the original tool kit supplied when new remain with the Ferrari, all present and correct alongside the factory build specification which includes the Fiorano Handling Pack, Daytona Seats and Scuderia Shields.Original throughout with excellent paintwork, and a superb interior, this 2004 Ferrari presents really well, however, 575s are not just pretty faces, they’re tantalising to drive, with great balance, lots of power and pin-sharp steering. The all-alloy V12 just keeps revving, whilst variable-volume intake and exhaust systems ensure there’s no shortage of torque. With classic looks, excellent build quality and strong performance, these are cars that satisfy on every level.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 575MYear: 2004Chassis Number: ZFFBT55C000136324Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 81415Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 14065 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Crema LeatherClick here for more details and images

Fastidiously restored and totally correct, a new chapter in NAN 175s compelling life story awaits.Distributed via Henlys to R. P. Powell Motors Limited of Forest Gate, East LondonDelivered to first owner Dr. Kenneth McCrea on 20/03/1958Just three recorded owners since, including one single ownership for some 45 yearsOffered for sale by the family of prominent Jaguar collector and historic racer, the late David HamRetaining original cylinder block and gearbox, and accompanied by original cylinder headExtensively restored, including £8,500 respray and full engine rebuild with Rob Beere fast-road specification cylinder headAccompanied by its JDHT Certificate and current and buff logbooksUnveiled at the 1955 Earl’s Court Motor Show, the Jaguar Mark 1, then referred to simply as the 2.4 litre Saloon, marked a new departure for Jaguar, both in mechanical and philosophical terms. The first production Jaguar to feature a monocoque chassis, it was powered by a new de-stroked version of Jaguar’s highly successful 3.4-litre XK engine, which had already scored three Le Mans wins in five years and had proved central to the success of the company’s sporting XK120 and XK140 models.Noticeably more compact and agile than the contemporary yet somewhat confusingly-designated Mark 7 saloon, it aimed to access new markets on both sides of the Atlantic by positioning itself as a highly affordable family car, at just £1,442 including taxes, which offered spirited performance. During the next four years, over 37,000 examples were built, of which just over half were 2.4-litre variants similar to that offered here.Originally distributed by Henlys of London to Jaguar agents R. P. Powell Motors Ltd. of Forest Gate, East London, this particular example was delivered to its first owner Dr. Kenneth McCrea of Upminster, Essex on 20 March 1958. Finished in the timeless Jaguar colour combination of British Racing Green with Tan leather interior, the car was completed to Special Equipment specification and boasted the superior and very welcome four-wheel disc brake option afforded to later Mark 1s, in place of the four-wheel drums fitted to early series examples.Dr. McCrea kept the car for a little over three years, before selling it to near neighbour Ronald Waitworth of Purfleet, Essex in April 1961. Mr. Waitworth retained the car a further seven years, before ownership passed to Nicholas Mackenzie of Queen’s Gate, London SW7 in March 1968. Remarkably, Mr. Mackenzie kept the car for the next 45 years, its occasional use and later long-term storage accounting for its remarkably low mileage of just over 74,000 when offered for sale in 2013.At this point, NAN 175 was acquired by prominent historic racer, the late David Ham, to join his collection of other significant Jaguars, including his treasured Lister-Jaguar, coincidentally a car of the same year of manufacture, and one which he too had owned for some 45 years. Having been looking for “the right” Mark 1 for some time, he reasoned that NAN 175’s highly original condition, short ownership chain and comparatively low mileage were all decisive factors in its purchase.Unsurprisingly, significant signs of ageing, both bodily and mechanically, had begun to emerge by the time the car had entered its seventh decade, and consequently Mr Ham and his loyal part-time mechanic embarked upon a comprehensive restoration. Mercifully, Mr Mackenzie’s sympathetic ownership had ensured that, unlike with so many other Jaguar saloons, nothing had been done to disguise or conceal the areas of corrosion, which made diagnosis of the problem areas refreshingly straightforward. Subsequently, extensive repairs were made to several of the Mark 1’s known areas of weakness, including the rear spring hangers, jacking points, sills, footwells, front wheel arches, front head and sidelight surrounds and the front strengthening brackets (also known as ‘crow’s feet’).Mechanically, the car had been well preserved, although it was considered prudent to rebuild the engine whilst removed from the car to facilitate the body repairs. A complete bottom end overhaul, including a cylinder block skim and re-bore, was carried out by marque specialist, Martin Adams, at a cost of £2,264. During the course of the engine strip down, some localised heat damage was identified to the original cylinder head and it was decided for both originality and economic reasons that the original item would be preserved and a replacement sourced. Consequently, a Rob Beere Racing-built, polished and ported ‘B-series’ cylinder head with SU carburettors was procured from M & C Wilkinson at a cost of some £1,800, this being fitted to the newly built bottom end prior to its reinstallation in the car. It should be stressed that the original cylinder head accompanies the sale.Once the body repairs had been effected, a bare metal respray was carried out by Retford Autofinishers at a cost of some £8,500, which included further metalwork repairs to the base of all four doors, and refurbishment of the car’s distinctive rear spats. Further areas of expenditure included the fitment of a new brake servo, refurbishment of all four brake calipers and the restoration of the car’s original radiator with modern high-efficiency core by Anglia Radiators; the latter at a cost of some £500 alone.Sadly, Mr. Ham passed away in early 2016, and whilst he did see the car taxed and roadworthy, there remain a small handful of outstanding jobs which require completing before full restoration “sign off” can truly be achieved. These include the fitting of a new set of interior carpets, calibration of the manual choke mechanism, troubleshooting of the ancillary electrical systems and fine tuning of the engine and newly-rebuilt SU carburettors, the latter ideally being performed on a rolling road.Often overlooked, somewhat unjustly, in light of its successor the Mark 2, it is noteworthy that the Mark 1 saloon tips the scales almost 200 kilograms lighter than its younger counterpart, and offers superior rarity value given that almost 84,000 of the later model were constructed. Evoking a vintage and hand-built feel on account of its more intimate interior, smaller glass area and relatively restrained use of chromework, not for nothing has the earlier car been referred to as a “four-door XK”.Perhaps best characterised as a car where the vast majority of the restoration “hard yards” have already been covered and, crucially, the myriad of Jaguar body restoration pitfalls circumnavigated, this highly correct and original example has been restored to its last-named owner’s exacting standards, and is ready for final commissioning to the new owner’s personal preferences. Eminently usable and extremely versatile, a new chapter in NAN 175’s compelling life story awaits.

FRANZ ABART(1769 - 1863)Figur des Winkelrieds. Nussbaumholz ungefasst. Ganzfigurige Plastik des bärtigen, leicht nach vorne geneigten Winkelried, der mit dem Arm (das nicht mehr vorhandene) Spiessbündel umfasst, steht auf einer runden flachen Basis. Kleidung, Halbharnisch mit Sturmhaube in der Art des 16. Jahrhunderts. Mit der linken Hand hält er einen grossen ovalen auf dem Boden ruhender Schild mit dem als Nidwaldner Wappen dienenden Schlüssel. Eine grosse Schärpe erstreckt sich von der rechten Schulter an die linke Hüfte. Der rechte Fuss ruht auf abgebrochenen Spiesseisen und Federn, welche an die besiegten Österreicher erinnern. Die Figur steht auf einem geschwärzten, achteckigen Holzsockel.H Figur 24 cm.Die Figur des Winkelried, der 1386 bei Sempach den Heldentod erlitten haben soll, inspirierte sowohl den Nidwaldner Bildhauer Josef Maria Christen (1767-1838) als auch den seit 1821 in Obwalden ansässigen Franz Abart. Eine in Holz geschnitzte Winkelried-Version von Christen wurde 1818 zusammen mit einer Bruder Klaus Statue dem Berner Schultheissen von Mülinen geschenkt. 1810 erhielt Abart an der Kunst- und Industrieausstellung in Bern für seine Winkelriedfigur eine Goldmedaille. In seiner Dynamik unterscheidet sich diese Abart zuzuschreibende Winkelriedfigur deutlich vom statischen Konzept eines Christen. Einziger profaner Grossauftrag Abarts waren zwei lebensgrosse Granitbären, die das Murtentor der Stadt Bern flankierten; sie stehen heute vor dem Bernischen Historischen Museum. Vgl. Otto Hess. Franz Abart. Obwaldner Geschichtsblätter 3, 1913. SIKART, Lexikon zur Kunst der Schweiz, „Abart Franz“. FRANZ ABART(1769 - 1863)Figure of Winkelried. Painted walnut. The figure is standing on a blackened octagonal wooden base.H (figure) 24 cm.The figure of Winkelried, who is said to have suffered a heroic death at Sempach in 1386, inspired both the sculptor Josef Maria Christen (1767-1838) from Nidwald and Franz Abart, who had lived in Obwalden since 1821. A version of Winkelried carved in wood by Christen was presented to the Bernese mayor von Mülinen in 1818 together with a statue of Brother Klaus. In 1810, Abart received a gold medal for his Winkelried figure at the Art and Industry Exhibition in Bern. In its vitality, this Winkelried figure, which can be attributed to Abart, clearly differs from the static concept of the work by Christen. Abart's only large-scale secular commission was for two life-size granite bears that flanked the Murten Gate in the city of Berne; they now stand in front of the Bernese Historical Museum. Cf. Otto Hess. Franz Abart. Obwaldner Geschichtsblätter 3, 1913. SIKART, Lexikon zur Kunst der Schweiz, "Abart Franz".
