Lot 19443
A fine Chinese Canton ivory and painted brise fan, late 18th century formed of twenty-six guard sticks, very finely carved and pierced with flowers, birds and butterflies, with foliate and flower swags above three finely painted ivory cartouches, two circular and one oval with European scenes of the `sailor`s return` on one side highlighted with a gold border, and flower posies on the other, the stick ends carved and pierced with alternating birds and flowers with gold border on one side, the lower section with a smaller cartouche carved with a pagoda amongst trees, the end sticks more deeply carved with flowers and birds, the pivot with paste mount Fans were a popular Chinese export item with the earliest fans dating from the early 18th century. There was an influx of fans to Europe and America during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, with them becoming very fashionable with Western ladies of the 1800s. Some of the finest brise fans of the type seen in this example were made during the same period, with the same fine quality painting most likely done by skilled artists of the time. The carved designs used on fans are often mirrored on contemporary porcelain, such as the foliate swags seen here, are also seen on famille rose export porcelain of the same period. Literature: For a similar examples see Carl L. Crossman, The Decorative Arts of The China Trade, 1991, p.330-1, plate 191 and 193 21cm long Condition commensurate with age, some damage and discolouration to the finely carved guard sticks, wear to the ribbon and some smudging to the gold highlighted areasView on auctionatrium.com

1969 Morris Traveller Reg no. HEF 999G Chassis no. MAWS 1241324 Engine no. 10MAUH3551494 The Morris Traveller has always been an extremely popular car. This one, finished in Trafalgar blue with the iconic external ash framework, is described as being in good condition throughout, with the paint and interior being in fair but used condition. It features the 1098cc, four cylinder engine with a four speed gearbox. It has had a series of modifications, such as the addition of a servo and front disc brakes, as well as a radio, rear heated windows and reversing lights. It was used as a doctor`s run about from 1982 to 2011, having had a new engine and gearbox fitted in the late 1980`s. The car is quite original and, according to the vendor, drives very well. The registration number is transferable and we have been informed that the only other Morris with 999 in its registration is in the Falklands. The vehicle is taxed (until 31/5/12) and MOT`d (until 5/1/12) and comes with plenty of old MOT certificates. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1950 Ford Prefect Reg no. OEH 899 Chassis no. C568393 Engine no. C568393 The Post-War small Fords were derived from its earlier Pre-War siblings of the 8 and 10hp cars. These developed into the Anglia and Prefect with more modern bodywork and pressed steel wheels. These small economical cars were just what the Post-War buying public wanted. The cars were colourful with lots of brightwork, and generally very easy to maintain. They along with other marques lifted the spirit of the people, they in turn developed into the much loved Consul, Zepher and Zodiac of the mid 1950`s and 1960`s. This Ludlow Green example is in good overall condition, having been restored in recent years. It is fitted with new tyres and has a current MOT that expires in May. However it does still retain its well patinated original brown leather interior. A very useable and reasonably priced classic that will give years of pleasure.

1955 Humber Hawk MKVI Reg.no. SSU 379 Chassis no. A5421319 Engine no. A5421319 The Humber Hawk was the first car to be produced after the Second World War by the Rootes Group. In true post-war spirit, (make do and mend comes to mind!) the Rootes Group based the first Humber Hawk on the pre-war Hillman 14 with which they fitted a 1944cc side valve, four cylinder engine that had been designed in the 1930`s. The MK II, brought out in 1947 was essentially the same car with a few cosmetic changes. The MK III brought out in 1948 looked like an entirely new car, and it nearly was. It had a new chassis, a different body and new suspension but it still retained the same engine from the previous mark. 1950 saw the introduction of the MK IV which had a larger 2267cc engine with an aluminium cylinder head, the car had a top speed of 71.4mph. The new look MK V came in 1952, and in 1954 the MK VI was unveiled. The Rootes Group had fitted this latest version of the Hawk with an OHV head and had lengthened the body a little, this model could do reach 79.7mph. This car was bought by the vendor in 2003 in Aberdeen and did some gentle body work and refurbishment before repainting the vehicle. It has its original beige leather interior and is said to be running well, it was last taxed and MOT`d in 2010. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1956 Citroen 2CV AZU Fourgonette Reg.no. 157 YUA Chassis no. 484941 Engine no. 0370518O This rare French van originated in the Midi area of France and was then imported into Switzerland in 1983, where it was dry stored until 2007, when the current owner purchased the car and commenced restoration. It was then imported to the UK in July 2009. It has had a complete body off restoration, whilst being mindful of retaining the originality. Where necessary mechanical upgrades have taken place, for example replacing all the brake pipes etc. The engine has been fully rebuilt to a high standard, as has the interior, the doors are covered in `pied de coq` (hounds tooth) sourced in France. Many thousands have been spent with 2CV specialists in a `no expense spared` restoration, which is a much used term, however in this case it needs to be seen to be believed. This must be the best example of its kind. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1929 Riley 9 Mk IV fabric tourer. Reg. no. MY 805 Chassis No.606063 Engine No.15390 This car was first registered for the road on 26th July 1929. It has the preferred Silent-Third manual gearbox, standard nine horsepower engine with a single SU carburettor and BTH magneto ignition. The dashboard and all the instruments are correct and original for the car, as are the Rotax head and sidelights. The car is finished in black fabric to the body with black wings, whilst the bonnet and wire wheels are finished in burgundy red with a red leather interior. It has a luggage rack to the rear of the car and is generally well presented. There is a full set of wet weather gear all in good condition. The immediate past owner had owned the vehicle for 32 years! Always maintaining the car to a high standard. Vintage Riley`s are not so easy to find and MkIV tourers are relatively rare. With its attrac-tive body style, this car represents an opportunity to purchase a genuine vintage Riley. This is a genuine and original MKIV tourer, and NOT a replica which has been built on a MKIV chassis in recent years. Besides the current V5C registration document, there is a buff coloured logbook dated 1957, copious past MoT`s, and various handbooks. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1928 Austin 16/6 2 seat Doctors Coupe Reg. no. XZ 8491 Chassis no. 4TC 9203 Engine no. 8159L6 The 16/6 model was announced in October 1927, but delivery did not commence until the following March. The Austin factory produced 6,401 examples in its first year. Prices were £255 in chassis form, £355 for the two seater or open road and £395 for the fabric saloon. Built on the 12/4 chassis the first 16/6`s were hard to distinguish from the four cylinder cars, but after a short time wire wheels were introduced in place of the artillery ones still at that time used by the 12/4. By August 1928 the new Burnham was ready with increased width and length. This model changed Austins forever with greater refinement in an airtight saloon, craved by the buying public. This unusual example of the 16/6 range is believed to have been exported new in chassis form to New Zealand. The Auckland body works fitted this body to the chassis at the time. It was registered to various Auckland owners until 1990, when it was imported back to the UK. Since then it has had several owners and a possible engine change. The current owner has used the car extensively, carrying out various works along the way including new big end bearings and timing chain. A very useable two seater that benefits from a weather proof compartment and also the rare luxury of an extensive boot. N.B. This car has recently received a new MOT, that expires in Sepember 2012.

1934 Wolseley 9 hp Tourer with Eustice Watkins bodywork Reg.no: ARR 694 Chassis No.181/138A Engine No.151A/138A Wolseley was based in Birmingham and was involved in the manufacture of motorcars from the start of the motoring industry. By 1901 it was amongst the largest producers, building 327 cars that year, and rising to 3,000 in 1914, by which time they led the industry in the UK. In 1932 Wolseley introduced the Wolseley Hornet Special, which was quite revolutionary at the time, in that it had a six-cylinder, overhead camshaft engine and hydraulic brakes. These were only ever sold in chassis form, and the customer had their chosen coach builder build an individual body, or were purchased by coachbuilders who then erected a body, and the car was then sold through Wolseley Main Agents. This car is one of only three tourers produced on the Wolseley `Wasp` chassis and was a 9 hp four cylinder version of the Wolseley Hornet Special. All three tourers were bodied with spe-cialist coachwork by Eustice Watkins, who also built a number of bodies on the Wolseley Hornet Special chassis. Indeed, there are many detailed similarities, including a remote con-trol gear lever, a sports steering wheel, and a polished aluminium dashboard, which was the same on all three cars. (No 9 hp tourers have been known to have been bodied by any other coachbuilder.) The car would most likely have been sold though the main Wolseley agents Whittingham & Mitchell. First registered in 1934 this Wolseley 9 hp has a four-cylinder ohc engine of 1018 cc together with a four-speed gearbox. Very original and really charming, the car is finished in black with a red interior, together with a full set of side screens. The car was rebuilt in the early nineteen ninety`s. The previous owner, now deceased, used the car up until 2000, but then retired to Grand Canary, and the car was left garaged in Cornwall. It has been recently recommissioned and it is now MoT`d and ready for the road. It has an original buff coloured logbook, together with some past MoT`s, a handbook, an instruction manual and current MOT valid until 14th August 2012.

1966 Humber Supersnipe Reg no. 2935PZ Chassis no. B084600533P0S0D Engine no. B084600533P0S0D The Humber Super Snipe was introduced in 1938, but the Second World War halted the production of the original marque. It had started life with the four litre, six cylinder engine from the Humber Pullman and the light chassis of the Snipe. However, war intervened and the car was reintroduced by the Rootes Group in 1946. The MK I was essentially a larger Humber Hawk with a 2731cc engine. The early Super Snipes developed through to the MK IV which was a much larger car with a 4138cc, OHV, engine which gave 113bhp. This was the last of the Super Snipes to be produced. The name was revived by the company in October 1958. The new Super Snipes became known by their Series. Again, they based the cars on the latest Humber Hawk, with its monocoque chassis, and fitted a larger 2651cc, six cylinder, OHV engine. 1962 brought the Series IV cars and then the Series V`s. This model had the same engine, tuned with Twin Zenith Stromberg 175CD carburettors and a Harry Westlake cylinder head which increased the power to 128.5 bhp. They also had a lower roofline, a more vertical windscreen and synchromesh on all gears. This car has been in the same family for over thirty years and is in good condition inside and out with its original interior and maroon paintwork. It was last taxed and MOT`d in 2010.

1929 Austin 7 Chummy Reg.no. GF 4626 Chassis no. 95443 Engine no. V95956 These ever popular Austin 7 Chummys are perhaps the most recognisable of all Vintage cars and were derived from the very first Austin 7 Pramhood model, which in fact saved the Austin factory. It was a major departure from Austins whose manufacturing was totally geared towards large and imposing cars. The Chummy was revolutionary in having four-wheel brakes and was easy to maintain with low running costs. This 1929 model is in excellent all round condition, with the correct wing mounted headlamps as opposed to the earlier scuttle mounted ones, coil ignition and chrome brightwork, correct for 1929. We are told that the car was restored in 1994, for which there are bills available. The current owner has owned this example for five years, and has used it for local events. It starts on the button, and is the best example we have seen. It is MOT`d until November. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1946 Rover 10 hp Saloon Reg no. MHX 778 Chassis no. 6110554 Engine no. 6110554 The 10 hp was well engineered and offered both quality and comfort. The body styling and construction was decidedly 1930`s. This 10 saloon is in superb condition. It is finished in dark cherry red and black paintwork, with the original brown leather interior, which is in really superb condition. It has a fully operational sunroof and opening windscreen and still retains the original fully fitted tool tray. Also still fitted is the original radio aerial mounted under the near-side running board, which couldn`t have helped the reception! The car was owned by a retired engineer who carried out a meticulous restoration of the car in the mid nineteen-nineties. The bodywork restoration alone costing over £5,500 at that time! The car comes with numerous invoices, copious old MOT certificates, correspondence from a past long-term owner, and a buff coloured logbook from 1948. During restoration, the car was fitted with a re-built larger 12 hp engine, flashing directional indicators, Quartz halogen driving lights and a Kenlow fan for use in heavy traffic in the summer. The past owner was meticulous in the general maintenance and up-keep of the car and went to every length to ensure a fully usable car in every condition, whether by day or night, winter or summer. This is a lovely Rover with a delightful patina to the leather interior. It is ready to be enjoyed. When new, it claimed a top speed of 70 mph, and it is able to keep up with modern traffic on the average road. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1929 Humber 9/20 four seater tourer Reg no. FN 9851 Chassis no.3912 Engine no.3915 The 9/20 model was first introduced in 1926 and has a four-cylinder i.o.e. engine of 1056 cc and a three-speed gearbox. The gear change lever and handbrake are situated on the right of the driver and the car has a central throttle/accelerator pedal. This car is believed to have had only two previous owners from new and had remained in Kent until fairly recently. The first owner a Raymond Gilbert of Broadstairs, sold the car to Colin Carpenter of Sandwich in 1953 who ran a Builders` Merchants shop in the town. Although used extensively in the first few years, it is believed that the car hadn`t seen the light of day for many decades and was almost entombed. The front and rear seat squabs are miss-ing as is the metal luggage rack, but otherwise it is totally complete and is a very original car in every respect. It was only after Colin Carpenter`s demise in 2010, that the vehicle passed to his nephew Peter Walters of Sandwich and subsequently the car was purchased from him. The Humber 9/20 is a delightful light car, very easy to drive and with light steering. A large file of paperwork accompanies this car. Although the old buff coloured logbook gives the reg-istration as 1929, the chassis number sequence would indicate production being in the latter quarter of 1926, not 1929. The 9/20 model ceased production in 1928, replaced by the 9/28. One can only assume that the car was left in a showroom somewhere unsold, and it maybe was heavily discounted in order to sell it when the new 9/28 model became available in 1929. The history file contains an old buff coloured logbook and current V5C registration docu-ment, the original Humber 9/20 handbook together with numerous original sales brochures from parts suppliers, some period photographs of the car in the early nineteen-fifties and a book of tickets for the Toll Bridge in Sandwich. This is a model well catered for by the enthu-siastic Humber Register. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1975 Jensen Interceptor Convertible Reg no. MBW 636N The Jensen Interceptor was introduced in 1966 and produced until 1976. In total 6,408 Interceptors were built, 267 of those were convertibles mainly destined for the US market. This car was exported to the US in 1975, it was originally left hand drive. It is now right hand drive, having been changed in 1999, and features the larger 7212cc Chrysler V8 engine. Jensen had previously fitted a smaller 6276cc V8 when the cars first rolled out, but updated them in 1971, the same year as the release of the MK III Interceptor. The convertibles were released in 1974. The Interceptor has always been a popular car, due mainly to its good looks, the body was designed by Carrozzeria Touring of Italy, and its grand touring capabilities. There are plans in the pipeline for a new Interceptor to be produced by CPP, the company who produce Bowler Wildcat Land Rovers. If all goes to plan they`ll have a demo car by the end of next year and they`ll be on sale in 2014. So now is the perfect time to purchase the original and best!

1923 Austin 12/4 Tourer Reg no. SV 9692 Chassis no. 2TT1847 Engine no. 2889 Austin motorcars were manufactured from 1907 onwards. Herbert Austin had previously been general manager of Wolseley, he resigned in 1905 to form his own company. 1922 saw the introduction of one of the company`s second great designs, the Heavy 12/4 model. It featured a side valve mono-block engine of 1661 cc in unit construction with the gearbox and had a plate clutch. The gate-change gear lever and hand brake were centrally mounted. This particular car with original Austin coachwork was exported new to New Zealand, where it remained until re-imported back to the UK in 2003. It is finished in Trafalgar blue with black wings and wheels, and has black deep-buttoned leather to the interior. It still retains the original beaded edge wheels, fitted with 760 x 90 tyres. The spare wheel is mounted at the rear together with a luggage rack. The CAV lighting, dashboard instruments, and early style hub centres are all correct and original. Being an early car it has the lower radiator with a slight up-sweep to the windscreen, which is such an attractive feature. It is believed to be to original specification in all respects. During the present ownership a considerable amount of work has been undertaken including a complete engine strip down and rebuild where necessary. This included re-facing of the cylinder block and cylinder head, refacing of cam followers and adjusting bolts, honing of the cylinder bores, new piston rings, re-cutting new valve seats, fitting new valves and guides, a new timing chain and new bearings for the dynamo drive. The hood, sidescreens, and hood bag have all been professionally re-trimmed to an exceptionally high standard. The car has been driven zero miles since this work has been completed. The engine will require careful `running-in` for the first 500 miles! Paperwork includes numerous past MoT certificates, photocopy of a 1923 owners handbook, a current MoT valid until 23 June 2012 and the current V5C registration document. The car on offer is a delightful early 12/4, much lighter than the later cars and has been known to the Vintage Austin Register for some years, and is well catered for by this club.

1928 Austin 7 Chummy Reg.no. KP 2637 Chassis no. A7.1847/69382 Engine no. M53154 Little history is known of this 1928 example. It was clearly restored some years ago but there are no details supplied. Painted in red with black wings these ever popular cars make excellent trials cars, often winning against more expensive and more powerful rivals. Whilst not concours, this example represents excellent value for money, tax free, low insurance and forty to the gallon. It is coming to the market due to lack of use, but is on the button and MOT`d until June. It presents an opportunity to own what is currently a very desirable motorcar in very useable condition.

1935 Hillman Minx Magnificent Reg.no. DPC 102 Chassis no. M 50635 Engine no. M 50687 The Minx Magnificent was an updated version of the original Hillman Minx which had been an enormous success for the Rootes group. It was the Minx Magnificent though, that resulted in the mark`s name being cemented in history. Hillman chose to use the name `Minx` for forty more years of car production because of this car. The body was smoother and more rounded, and the chassis was stiffened. Hillman also moved the engine forward, which gave the driver and passengers greater leg room. The Magnificent was powered by a four cylinder, 1184cc engine which produced 30bhp. This car is the earliest registered Minx Magnificent saloon de luxe still surviving (according to the Hillman Owners Club). Production of the new `Magnificent` model was announced in September 1935, this car was registered in October and has an early chassis number. Only thirteen other cars of this specification are known today. It is in very good, original and genuinely unspoilt condition and has an MOT until February 2012.

1928 Cheverolet Tourer Reg no. RA 6261 Chassis no. AB91494 Engine no. TR505936 The second 1928 Chevrolet in our sale. In 1928, the release of the Chevrolet National Series A B cars saw General Motors become the market leader in the United States. GM had employed a cunning tactic, they offered $50 off of each new standard car, in order to undermine the new 1928 Ford Model A. It worked. 785,199 A B Series cars were produced, each selling from between $495-$715. The A B series was a fresh look for Chevrolet, having extended the wheel base four inches from the previous A A Series and using modern design from GM`s new Art and Colour Studio, which was formed in 1927. The body had longer, more angular lines, with flowing wheel arches and running boards. Inside the cars were equipped with the four cylinder engine that had first been seen in 1913. In late 1928 this engine was soon changed in favour of the six cylinder type. This right hand drive, four seater car, has a body finished in maroon with black wings and a four cylinder, 1934cc, engine. The engine, chassis, bodywork, interior and electrics are all described as being in good condition, with the paintwork being in fair and perfectly useable condition. It is a rare car that has been restored and been used on a regular basis. It comes with a V5 Registration document, factory sales literature and parts paperwork. The MOT expired in July 2011.

1926 Humber 12/25 Tourer Reg. no. GD 1848 Chassis No.12033 Engine No.12024 The 12/25 featured a four-cylinder monoblock engine of i.o.e. configuration of 1795 cc with a four-speed gearbox in unit construction. It features four wheel brakes with the gate-change gear lever and handbrake situated on the right of the driver. It has a Vee-windscreen and rear luggage rack with the spare wheel mounted on the off-side running board. The car also benefits from an original Auster rear screen, which makes travelling in the rear with the hood down much more pleasurable! When purchased from an auction in Harrogate it was described as a one family owned vehi-cle, however it would appear that the car had two previous owners prior to entering the very long term ownership of George Anderson a builder near Kelso in 1934. It was eventually sold from his estate in 2006. Up until that time the car had remained in Scotland. What is certain is that one could not find a more original car than this one, and we are told that it has the quietest gearbox of any Humber 12/25! The car featured in the film `The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie` c.1975(?) (There is a period photo in the history file.) It is finished in traditional Humber Mole colour with black wings and the deep buttoned brown leather interior, is the original from new but is an absolute delight for those who like originality! Since purchase the car has undergone a total engine rebuild and a full re-trim of the hood, hood bag, and double tonneau in Wigan fabric. Every effort has been made to ex-actly replicate the original in every detail and the car is to the original specification in all re-spects with the exception of directional indicators for safer driving in modern traffic. Only 500 miles have been driven since the engine rebuild and it is due an oil change and re-setting of valve clearances etc. It has by no means been fully run-in, and careful use for the next few hundred miles will be rewarded in the long-term. The car has been known to The Humber Register for many years. There is a box containing various silver cups won by the car at vintage gatherings, a workshop service manual, the original handbook for the car, an old buff coloured logbook, many past MoT`s and tax discs going back over decades. The jack, jack handle, wheel brace and oil cans are stowed against the engine firewall, whilst the starting handle is permanently fixed at the front of the car. The petrol dip stick and other tools are stowed under the front seat. MOT`d until May 2012. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1927 Alvis TG 12/50 Sportsman saloon Reg no. GD 5945 Car no. 10393 Chassis no. 502/8 Engine no .5376 The Alvis 12/50 featured a 4 cylinder, OHV, push-rod engine of 1 1/2 litres and vehicles with the short stroke engine could comfortably exceed 70 mph. They featured a four-speed gearbox with a right-hand gate-change gear lever and hand brake. This car is finished in cherry red with black wings and has a red leather interior. Having been stored since 1958, the car was restored in 1985 and went on to win concours at the October 1985 Alvis rally in Chessington. During the present ownership all the road springs have been professionally rebuilt, together with the dynamo. The car has also been fitted with directional indicators and hazard warning lights, apart from these small modifications, the car is original. The 12/50 Sportsman saloon is undoubtedly the most attractive of the Alvis saloons manufactured, and because only a few have survived they are always sought after by enthusiasts. The Sportsman saloon is very distinctive with its elegant `Vee` windscreen and peaked roof, plus a smokers hatch in the roof. Considering it is a saloon it is exceedingly light, airy and a very pleasant environment in which to drive. The interior is well appointed with a cigarette compartment and even a letter writing rack in the rear of the car. There is a photographic library of the restoration, a file containing servicing literature, a Hungarian Vintage car magazine with an article featuring the car, together with road fund licences from 1955, and the V5C registration document and MOT which expirer on 30ti May 2012.
