A proper sporting classic, thoughtfully prepared and looking, every inch, the sixties racer.Jaguar's seminal Mk2 sports saloon in the ultimate 3.8-litre, manual/overdrive configurationWearing Coombs-style metal spats, black wire wheels with chrome spinners, and leather bonnet straps front and rear, there is a real appearance of a period racing saloon Real kerb appeal backed up by a strong engine, a full stainless-steel exhaust, and a solid underside New carpets, belts and renewed seatsA usable fun classic car designed to be jumped in, driven, and enjoyedLaunched in October 1959, the Jaguar Mk2 offered a noticeably improved driving experience over its predecessor courtesy of revised front suspension geometry, widened rear track, and four-wheel disc brakes. It was also better looking and, fittingly, the Mk2 was voted 'Car of the Year' in 1959 and would form the mainstay of Jaguar's saloon car production until 1967. One of the most readily recognised cars of the 1960s, thanks in part to countless appearances in films and on television, Jaguar's seminal Mk2 saloon set the standard for the class throughout its entire production life and today remains highly prized by enthusiasts. With the advent of the Mk2, the 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's XK twin-cam six became available for the first time in the company's medium-sized saloon. In 3.8-litre, manual/overdrive configuration with 220bhp on-tap and a whopping 240lb/ft of torque available at a lowly 3,000rpm, it was a genuine 125 mph car capable of reaching 60mph in 8.5 seconds, outstanding figures for a saloon of its size and making it the fastest saloon in the world at the time.The car presented here a 1960 Jaguar Mk2 3.8-litre manual/overdrive example finished in fetching Indigo Blue. On offer from a small private collection of cars and used by our vendor on trips to Goodwood and Bicester Heritage, where it always turns heads, he describes it as “a fun usable classic designed to be jumped in, driven and enjoyed " and as having a ‘lovely, sweet 3.8 engine’ with no drips or leaks, fitted with small alloy trumpets, it is connected to a later 4-speed overdrive gearbox, this Mk2 both goes extremely well whilst looking a bit different from the more traditional examples out there.Wearing Coombs-style metal spats, black wire wheels with chrome spinners, and leather bonnet straps front and rear, there is a real appearance of a period racing saloon and this is finished off with a badge-bar adorned with genuine period badges, Speedwell wing mirrors, yellow Lucas lens covers, and Dunlop fog light covers. The bumpers have had the overriders removed and have been painted, period roundels and stickers adorn the bodywork and the whole effect is enhanced by a full stainless Falcon sports exhaust. The bodywork is described as ‘straight, with a few minor marks’ and, reassuringly, the underside appears completely solid.Between the photos attached being taken and the auction date, our vendor has treated the car to a renewal of its original Mk2 leather seats, the rears with picnic tables, the fronts now with period lap-belts, whilst a Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel, a new (but period-style) fire extinguisher in a leather holder and a new set of carpets have been added (photos of which will follow soon). One glance at 'KSH 687' and you are instantly reminded of those close range, black and white images of Grand Prix drivers sliding their Mk2 Jaguars around Silverstone in the early 1960s. It's a great colour, correctly presented and just looks right. It's not a competition car or a heavily modified, intractable 'fast-road' saloon but a straightforward, owner-friendly, road-going Mk2 and, if today's images were in black and white, it could well be from 1961 when Mk2s in the hands of Moss, Hawthorn, Salvadori and Hill were dominant in British saloon car racing. A usable fun classic car designed to be jumped in, driven, and enjoyed and, with its nostalgic looks, would be welcome anywhere.

1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Resto-mod Transmission: automaticMileage:350Immaculate re-imagined Porsche CarreraRestored over many thousands of hoursCompletely bespoke with just one example madeThe early days of this exquisite example are slightly academic. It went from Germany to Japan (import documents enclosed) and then back to the UK. The real story begins in 2011 when it arrived with the vendor. The Porsche marque was the designer’s personal passion and with an award-winning restoration team around him they wanted to prove a point with this, the very pinnacle of the restorer’s art, the very best the car can be.There are elements here that if you had your own way, you still wouldn't imagine or consider. Originally built in March 1986, this is an original lefthand drive, ROW (rest of world), G-Series body, which was launched in ‘73 just before the 930 Turbo and developed to conform to the latest US crash test regulations. A taut body with no sunroof and the classic 3.2 litre Carrera engine planted at the rear end. It was to undergo a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration over 10 years to bespoke specification until it was finally registered on 1st June 2019 after approximately 500km and a 12-month snagging and evaluation process.Once completely stripped, the bare shell was dipped, hand-rolled steel wide arches fitted, to RSR specification. The rust-free body was strengthened and diligently prepared. The shell was finished using an 8-step paint process and painted in Porsche GT3 Grau schwarz, a nod to its younger sibling. A centre fill fuel tank in the forward luggage compartment together with a handmade, themed cap was installed. A ducktail/964 electric spoiler controlled from the cabin was fitted. The door handles mirrored the theme on the fuel tank cap and that same theme is subtly repeated throughout the car. With the addition of a one-off composite front bumper and splitter, an RSR-style rear bumper and to the rear, a fully rebuilt 3.2 litre engine running 964 cams with 46IDA (triple carb) PMO (USA) carburettors with K&N filters and hats. Turn the key and the MSD ignition and BK racing distributor fire. The cylinders are fully rebuilt and relined with machine work carried out by Redtek, assembly by Wrightune and tested on the BS Motorsport dynamometer. The headers are straight through units with all oil lines braided with a front fender cooling fan. It has a 915 gearbox (5-speed), fully rebuilt running a Wevo (USA) shifter and linkage and pushing out 231hp or 223.4 ft-lb torque. The engine was designed with a flat torque curve, unlike the original with its heavy inertia. This iteration reaches 209ft-lb at 3200rpm, versus the original which needed to climb to 4800rpm to reach the same, 209 ft-lb. These modifications result in a much freer and more responsive engine, when you put your foot down it goes! The vehicle retains that charming characteristic Porsche air cooled sound, complemented by a M&K (USA) GT3-style muffler with minimal baffle and a block-off butterfly valve controlled from the cabin to muffle sound in RH tip should you require.The engine bay itself is smoothed and lacquered with all fixings removed or hidden, including the wiring harness and coil. The engine and gearbox all use Clubsport rubber compounds for mountings and bushes, much care and testing were undertaken to find the perfect blend of bushings and mountings throughout the car. The front discs are converted to Rebel Racing products (USA) and enlarged to 28mm x 318mm at the front with 996 calipers and braided lines with the rear running 996 calipers and discs. Naturally, Zuffenhaus (USA) three-piece 17” Fuchs wheels can be found in each corner with 9” and 11” frosted finish, anodised rims and Toyo Proxes R1R tyres.The suspension takes the form of Bilstein HD Sport dampers and inserts with one-off machined and leathered front strut brace with themed fixed mounts. Through-body Elephant Racing (USA) hollow front and rear adjustable sway bars are fitted and anodized to match the colour theme. The torsion bars are 21mm at the front and 27mm to the rear with geometry set up for fast-road use by Northway Porsche. The headlamps are HID units with a high output alternator. Air conditioning is all electric and mounted in the luggage compartment with a modern fuse box with blade fuses. Heating is via an electric heater hidden in the luggage bay and piped into the cabin.The interior, also, is a thing of beauty. As exquisite as a pair of Edward Green shoes or a Patek Philippe watch; the design spec was to create a cockpit like a luxury apartment, simply a nice place to sit and enjoy. The seats are lollipop style, one-off houndstooth check colour and size of design, a bespoke material created for the builder by Achtung Kraft (USA). The centre console is also bespoke with twin stitch and a themed compartment with a re-modelled, more simple, dashboard sporting all new clocks; colour coded and calibrated. The doors and panels carry bespoke quarter cards with an alcantara glovebox, handles and headliner and complete with remote central locking.The footwells are not forgotten, snug with handmade wool carpet and mats piped in leather and one-off houndstooth check. The rear seats have been converted and boxed to house JL sub-speaker and MSD (USA) sparkbox. The steering wheel is a classic model as used on many iconic 1960s and 1970s cars with a double-wrapped, thick leather rim.There is also a Bluetooth stereo in a hidden compartment with the electric heater and the a/c controls. The JL amplifier is a three-channel unit with sub-woofers and themed removable covers. This all beautifully put together as the images demonstrate and as shown in the accompanying hard backed build book; a history documenting the car from arrival right through to the finished result including the shell in bare metal so detail can be examined. For the weekend away, there is even a matching leather bag in the same interior houndstooth style and, of course, the subtle theme.Like a Porsche, but better.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

Formerly from the Collection of Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon: An aquamarine and diamond brooch by Cartier, 1932, the oval hoop set with circular-cut aquamarines, each shoulder with hexagonal-cut aquamarine highlight set between twin scrolls of brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum, engraved with the ownership mark ‘M’ beneath The Princess Margaret’s coronet, numbered ‘9865’ and ‘6656’, width 51mm. £40,000-£50,000 --- Accompanied by the Certificate of Provenance from Kensington Palace, dated 13 June 2006, in original embossed leather folder. Provenance: Christie’s, Lot 12, Property from the Collection of her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, sale 13 June 2006, London. The brooch was purchased by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother from Cartier on 23 January 1947 for £175. The brooch is unsigned however Cartier Geneva confirmed this brooch was made by Cartier London in 1932. This brooch was purchased a week before the Royal family set sail to South Africa on 1st February 1947. The major tour was both the first trip abroad for Princess Margaret and also the first time a reigning monarch had undertaken a tour with his whole family. The three month-long visit was not only an important display of imperial solidarity but an opportunity for the young Princesses to witness first hand the statecraft, duty and hard work required in order to fulfil their royal roles in public life. The tour was remembered for being the first occasion that Princess Margaret spent significant time with Captain Peter Townsend, equerry to King George VI. The Princess later confided how the time they spent together “in that wonderful country, in marvellous weather” was when “I really fell in love with him.” Later that year Townsend was to become the official charge on Princess Margaret’s first solo visits. Prior to the South African tour, it was agreed that the engagement between Princess Elizabeth and Lt. Philip Mountbatten would be formally announced upon the family’s return to England. The purchasing of the aquamarine brooch before departure perhaps foretold of the busy months ahead, with the engagement announced in July and the wedding planned for November. It was therefore decided that Princess Margaret would take on a greater role in public life. In August 1947 the Princess turned seventeen and it was widely reported at the time that this birthday would mark her official “coming out” and signal a turning point in her own independence. To celebrate the occasion, King George VI appointed the Princess to Colonel-in-Chief of the Highland Light Infantry and on her first official duty for the Regiment, in March 1948, Princess Margaret wore this aquamarine and diamond brooch to the reception at Glasgow City Chambers. It is likely that the brooch had been given to Princess Margaret the previous year on the occasion of her seventeenth birthday. In a letter to Queen Mary written in April 1944, Queen Elizabeth discusses the jewellery being given to Princess Elizabeth for her eighteenth birthday from her father, King George VI, and states: “It is almost impossible to buy anything good, but he may find something second hand.” This aquamarine and diamond brooch purchased from Cartier by Queen Elizabeth in 1947, yet manufactured in 1932, certainly reflects a similar perspective in regards to buying jewellery. Princess Margaret’s love of brooches was apparent throughout her lifetime and was highlighted by the jewellery auction in June 2006 at Christie’s which included over sixty brooches from her collection. This particular aquamarine and diamond brooch was one of the few Art Deco examples included in the sale and, more importantly, one of only a handful of jewels with Royal provenance extending back to previous generations. A large number of the brooches offered in the auction had been acquired directly by the Princess from the 1960s onwards. Unlike her sister, Queen Elizabeth II, who favours wearing brooches on the traditional left, Princess Margaret followed her grandmother’s style in regularly wearing them to the centre front of her neckline. One such photograph, taken in a garden during the official visit to The Caribbean in 1958, shows the Princess wearing this brooch at the centre of a floral dress. An earlier photograph, taken in 1950 at a dance at the Dorchester Hotel, shows the young Princess wearing the brooch on a strapless ballgown in ice blue brocade. Known for her sense of fashion and style, the Princess always coordinated her jewels to match her outfits. In 1959, when opening an exhibition, The Bulletin newspaper reported that Princess Margaret had pinned ‘a delicate ornament in aquamarines and diamonds’ to the side of her pale blue chiffon hat. The Princess was photographed wearing this brooch throughout her lifetime, seemingly always when dressed in blue. One such photograph shows Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon introducing baby David Linley to his grandmother, The Queen Mother, in 1961. A more recent example from 1989 shows the Princess wearing the brooch on a striking blue suit at the Trooping the Colour ceremony. The photographs depict the whole Royal family with Princess Margaret standing beside Princess Diana and her two young sons, Princes William and Harry, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. During the 1930s and following on from the Art Deco, Cartier displayed a progressive attitude towards design, materials and palette choices. The rigidity of geometry was gradually lost to a flexibility of form that, as seen with this brooch, featured curves, volutes and loops, combined with unusual six-pointed cuts that livened up the usual sequence of stones. The introduction of semi-precious materials saw a preference for colour overtake the monochromatic palette of the previous decade. Black and white jewels set with diamonds, rock crystal, onyx or enamel gradually evolved to feature aquamarines, topaz and amethysts. This brooch made in 1932 is an early example of the evolution seen in design over the course of the coming decade and showcases the originality and foresight of Cartier at the time.

Sitwell, Weston Hall, Towcester, Northamptonshire: A Brief Guide, Northampton, 1993, p. 6, recorded on the Main Stairs.Catalogue Note:This portrait shows Anne, Lady Blencowe (née Wallis, 1656-1718), the eldest daughter of John Wallis (1616-1703), Savilian professor of geometry at the University of Oxford, wife to Sir John Blencowe (1642-1726) of Marston St Lawrence, and mother of Mrs Susanna Jennens (1688-1760) of Weston Hall. Due to the depiction of orange blossom it was probably painted on her engagement in 1675 to Sir John, a barrister at the Inner Temple, who she married in December the same year. By family tradition, this portrait was formerly at Marston St. Lawrence (Sir George Sitwell, A brief history of Weston Hall, Northamptonshire, and of the families that possessed it, London, privately printed 1927, p. 5, f/n 1). Lady Anne's father set great store by learning, and it is believed that he provided his daughter with a good education. She is best known for her recipe book dated 1694, which provides an excellent sample of dishes established as staples among gentry in the second half of the seventeenth century (ibid., pp. 27-29). This recipe book was added to by successive female owners of Weston Hall, and remained in use there for at least 100 years. It was later published in 1925 in a limited edition of 650 copies by Guy Chapman, a former freelance editor, who had set up the Adelphi Press.

During this period, they built a number of ‘specials’ including the Evo VI Extreme, RS Sprint and 450, VII Extreme S and RS Sprint and, although sold in small numbers, most importantly they were official UK cars. Ralliart Extreme were power players in Evo history, and were the company to go to for enthusiasts, due to their 3-year warranty and top of their game sales team and technicians. Based on this success, they decided to build a further car to be used as a demonstrator before ultimately being sold. Entitled the Evo VII SC, it was to be based on an Evo VII RS and be suitable for road use as well as competition. Toney Cox, the workshop manager responsible for car build and testing for the Ralliart world rally team (WRC), was entrusted with the build and the car was finished in 2003.The SC was demonstrated extensively, used as a press car, was the cover car for the Xtreme website and featured in all the company's advertising. A period advert from 2004 read "Based on the lightweight close-ratio gearbox Evolution VII RS model fitted with ACD, LSD Rear and Helical Front Diffs, our Xtreme SC is the most powerful car we have built to date, yet engineered to provide the customer with an opportunity to further tune and modify to take the power from 458bhp to over 500bhp if required! As with all of our tuning packages, torque has been a major focus too, the Xtreme SC is therefore pushing out a back thumping 410ft/lbs to ensure astonishing pull throughout the rev range. 4 cylinder, turbocharged 2.2-litres, 458bhp @ 5,800rpm, 410ft/lbs @ 3,500rpm, 0-60 in 3.5secs."In the event, only one SC was ever built, the car we are pleased to offer today.

oak with leather upholstered seatseach 56cm wide, 72cm high, 43cm deepProvenance: From The Millinery Works Collection.Footnote: Note: A self-described “craftsman woodworker, boat builder and sailor, mathematician, poet, chess player, social reformer, rebel, friend and lover”, Arthur Romney Green was a man of many talents. From a very young age he developed a love for woodworking and spent much of his free time building sailing boats. He later turned his attentions to furniture and setup a workshop in Christchurch from around 1920. An admirer of William Morris, Romney Green was an advocate of Social Reforms and sought to create a sense of community amongst his workforce. During the 1930s he supervised several workshops in deprived areas; and often employed young boys who struggled during their educational years, helping them learn key skills in the trade to increase their self-esteem and improve their literacy skills. This nurturing approach and value he placed on apprenticeships was hugely successful, and many of the young boys he employed eventually established themselves as master craftsmen in their own right. Like many of his contemporaries, Romney Green’s furniture designs show a strong admiration for the work of Gimson and Barnsley, regarded as founders of the Cotswold Tradition. Yet what distinguishes Romney Green’s work from Gimson’s is the importance he places on geometry and proportion. His designs, “built from solid equations”, often feature geometric shapes in the small details and are constructed with an exact set of mathematical principles in mind.

*John Maltby (1936-2020),a standing crowned figure, stoneware, the crown with two hanging ceramic beaded suspensions, with geometric motifs to the body, with artist's monogram60cm high, on a fixed painted wood plinth*Artist's Resale Right may apply to this lot.John Maltby (1936-2020) Rejecting the conventional Anglo-Oriental traditions defined by Bernard Leach, John Maltby spearheaded the development of a new Modernist movement in British Studio Pottery from the mid-1960s until his death in 2020.Initially trained as a sculptor at Leicester University and Goldsmiths, Maltby's career as an art potter began in 1962, working with David Leach at Bovey Tracey. Leaving Leach's tutelage in 1964, however, he felt no connection with the practices and aesthetics, and instead set out his own artistic direction, which would redefine British Studio Pottery.Rather than drawing from the Japanese styles worked by his contemporaries, Maltby was influenced by artists such as Henry Moore, Alfred Wallis, Picasso and Paul Klee, emphasising the symbiosis of abstract geometry and colour. Working in bolder colours and asymmetric shapes, Maltby never regarded his work as mere vessels, but rather each piece as a sculptural work, enclosing particular memories and emotions.The concept of memory was always at the heart of Maltby's work, and this notion was reinforced in 1996 when, following heart surgery, Maltby was forced to change his practice being unable to work the clay as he had previously. Rather than abandoning his craft, Maltby made the most significant change in his artistic career - the transition from turned pottery vessels to sculpture. The shift in practice made Maltby's previously employed patterns and aesthetics spring to life and introduced many returning 'characters', taking the form of birds, fishermen, kings, knights and many more. These characters took on token characteristics of Maltby's life and he embodied into them specific memories or emotions evoked by pieces of art or music.Maltby always sought for his work to regale a narrative, be it the far away chivalrous stories of knights and kings, or the humble tales of the local fishing folk surrounding his Devon home - they all held equal importance in Maltby's mind. Continuously revisiting these for the last twenty-four years of his life, Maltby has built a unique legacy in the echelons of British Art Pottery. The playfulness in his work continues to attract collectors, new and old, and has made it universally applicable in any interior context. They are, at their heart, conversation pieces, and in discussing them, they become subject to new narratives and new memories.

A rust-free 1974 911 with a very cool 'Outlaw' look and a 'hot' 2.7 to 'S' specification engine.Purchased by our vendor from California in July 2017; upon arrival in the UK, it was thoroughly inspected and a work list prepared, the brief was to create a semi-lightweight hot-rod/outlaw-look 911 with a hot engineAfter inspection, the car was found to be completely rust-free and had never been welded; the 1974 911 2.7 is a relatively rare car, and is always popular with re-creators to build  1974 3.0 RS and RSR race replicasThe engine was removed and sent to ‘Carrera Performance’, where it was fully stripped and fitted with a new crank, barrels, and pistons (2.7), ‘S’-spec camshafts and a lightened flywheel, whilst the injection system was also fully overhauledA sports back-box and SSI heat-exchangers were also fitted, now giving a glorious sound; the body was painted in Porsche colour Crayon (to match our vendor’s new GT3), and it's had a full suspension geometry set upThe interior has leather buckets fitted, a bolt-in roll-cage and fire extinguisher, plus lightweight carpet and door panels/pulls, the front luggage compartment is trimmed with a Carbone carpet setThe Porsche 911 was developed as a much more powerful, larger, more comfortable replacement for the Porsche 356, the company's first model and essentially a sporting evolution of the Volkswagen Beetle. The new car made its public debut at the 1963 Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung, better known to English speakers as the Frankfurt Motor Show.After 11 years in production, the Porsche 911 received its first serious facelift when 'Model Year 1974' saw the introduction of the new torque-rich, smoother, cleaner, and more economical ‘G-programme’ 2.7-litre models, including the 150bhp 911, 175bhp 911S and 210bhp Carrera. MY1974 also heralded the dawn of impact bumpers to conform with the new US low-speed protection requirements. These bumpers being so successfully integrated into the design, that they remained unchanged for 15 years. These models also had new interiors with new seats and integrated head restraints, door trims and side window demist vents on the dash. In retrospect, the 1974 911 was the first ‘worldwide car’ that Porsche produced.The 1974 911 2.7 is a relatively rare car and is always popular with re-creators planning to build ‘74 3.0 RS and RSR race replicas. This example was purchased by our vendor from California in July 2017 and, upon its arrival in the UK, it was thoroughly inspected and a worklist prepared, the brief being to create a semi-lightweight hot-rod/outlaw-look 911 with a hot engine.After inspection, the car was found to be completely rust-free and appeared never to have been welded. The engine was removed and sent to Porsche specialist ‘Carrera Performance’ of Horsham, where it was fully stripped and fitted with a new crank, barrels, and pistons (2.7), ‘S’-spec camshafts and a lightened flywheel, whilst the injection system was also fully overhauled. A sports back-box and the popular ‘SSI’ heat exchangers were also fitted, helping the engine run cooler, and increasing both horsepower and torque in addition to sounding fantastic.The bodywork was painted in Porsche colour Crayon (to match our vendor’s new GT3), and it's had a full suspension geometry set up. The interior is fitted with high-quality leather bucket seats, a bolt-in roll-cage, fire extinguisher, lightweight carpet and door panels/pulls and the front luggage compartment is trimmed with a ‘CarBone’ carpet set.A properly-sorted classic 911 now with the ‘go and looks’ to warrant real admiration, the ‘Outlaw’ style is topical and rather 'cool' and this special 911 would be very welcome at any ‘Sunday Scramble’ or ‘Boxengasse’ gathering. SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 2.7Year: 1974Chassis Number: 9114101665Registration Number: VMR 490MTransmission: ManualEngine Number: TBCDrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDClick here for more details and images

1999 Yamaha 998cc YZF-R1Registration no. T251 OBVFrame no. JYARN011000010507Engine no. N501E0017956For the R1, Yamaha redesigned the 5 valves per cylinder Genesis engine used in predecessors from the FZ750 to the YZF1000R. By rearranging the gearbox layout, the engine was made more compact, thus aiding modifications to the frame geometry. They used a modification of the Deltabox frame, and upside-down forks. Early examples were fitted with carburettors, before later versions were equipped with fuel injection.An early example, such as 'T251 OBV', could be considered the purest form of the model, and one can only imagine that clean, original, low mileage, examples such as this, will only increase in value in the years to come. This R1 was purchased new by the late owner, and was used on a regular, but limited, basis. To attend occasional track days, he purchased a spare set of wheels, shod with track tyres, and these are included with the bike, along with a track fairing, petrol tank and seat unit. Showing a believed-correct 7923 miles on the odometer at consignment, it was last started towards the end of 2019, although it has been kept on a battery tender, and should only need light recommissioning before use with a new owner. Documentation comprises a current V5C, original purchase invoice, service booklet, quantity of expired MoTs, assorted invoices and miscellaneous papers.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
