The chariot with horses was used extensively in Egypt by the Hyksos forces from the 16th century BC onward, although they may have been in use before this. Egyptian military forces used the chariot as a mobile platform from which to launch arrows, and the chariot was usually provided with a quantity of these missiles; the archer stood behind the protective wall of the chariot while the driver steered across the battlefield bringing the vehicle into range so that the attack could be launched. The chariot with bowman was also used for hunting purposes. A video of this lot can be viewed on Timeline Auctions website. Fine condition, some repairs. Extremely rare.

MPH's example comes to market in very good condition, showing very good bodywork, paint, wheels with new tyres and tubes. Body panels were given a re-spray (to the tune of £2000) in the correct Carmine Red/Ivory scheme, with a new bonnet, badges and related fittings added. Other work includes a new exhaust, wiring loom and lights as well as a steering wheel and gauges. Said to starting, running and driving well courtesy of new fuel lines, glow plugs and an oil change, it would be a useful addition to any classic Porsche collection.Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:Vendor Score Total: 74/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.
