A 1989 Porsche 944 automatic coupé, registration number F93 TVX, chassis number WP0ZZZ94ZKN403649, engine number 46K61013, blue. This 944, we have the pleasure in offering for auction, is one of the rarer incarnations. It is one of the 2.7 litre models which were only made for one year (1989) before the new S2 became available with a 3 litre engine and other revisions. F93 TVX has been well cared for by its current lady owner of ten years and its previous owners. It has a comprehensive history file containing numerous receipts from Porsche and marque specialists, past MOTs, sundry paperwork, the original owner's wallet with stamped service book and other manuals. Finished in a very attractive colour combination of metalic light blue with a half parched leather and Porsche logo cloth interior. The Porsche further benefits from luxury refinements including electric sunroof, windows, mirrors and seats. Now reluctantly for sale due to a recent lack of use, this well maintained 944 looks attractive at the guide price. V5C, MOT to May 2019 See illustration

TOTTI, POMPILIORITRATTO DI ROMA ANTICA NEL QUALE SONO FIGURATI I PRINCIPALI TEMPII, TEATRI, ANFITEATRI, CERCHI... medaglie, & altre cose notabili. Con le vite, & effigie de' primi re d'essa. E le dichiarationi di Bartolomeo Marliani milanese, e d'altri autori. Rome: per Andrea Fei, 1627.

Rome: per Lodovico Grignani, 1650.

Paris: Delaulne, 1699. First edition, 8vo., with 7 engraved plates (of which 5 are folding), contemporary sprinkled calf, spine decorated gilt in compartments, later gilt monogram on the covers, partly erased early ownership signature on the title page, with the book plates of John and Michel Bury (3)Note: Totti's guide shows ancient Rome as it was in Totti's time and as he thought it had originally been. The views are highly valuable for the historian of Roman topography, and the "restorations" interesting for the reflection of contemporary architecture. Felibien's reconstruction of Pliny's villas through an analysis of the author's letters foreshadows the rise of Romantic classicism. Felibien supplies the Latin text with his own translation and copious notes. Felibien also reproduces the description of the Laurentine villa by Scamozzi, who records discrepancies that occur in the Pliny documents. Scamozzi's text appears in the original Italian with Felibien's French translation and notes. The work concludes with Felibien's Dissertation touchant l'architecture antique et l'architrecture gothique.
