1925 Bentley 3 Litre Speed Model Tourer - One of just 513 Speed Models built - Current family ownership since 1958 - Original engine and Vdp coachwork - Offered with history file A railway engineering apprentice turned aero engine designer, Walter Owen Bentley previewed his first creation, the immortal 3-Litre, at the October 1919 London Motor Show (though, he would not deem it production ready for another two years). Inspired by a 1914 Humber T.T. racer, the newcomer's ladder-frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and rear-wheel drum brakes (four-wheel brakes becoming the norm from 1924 onwards). The car's heart and most advanced feature was its 2996cc engine. A long-stroke four-cylinder (80mm x 149mm) that prioritized torque over top-end power, it boasted a five-bearing crankshaft, shaft-driven overhead camshaft, monobloc construction, twin ignition, four valves per cylinder and aluminium pistons. Developing between 65bhp and 88bhp, the unit was allied to a separate four-speed gate-change gearbox. Supplied in bare chassis guise only, albeit with a choice of wheelbase lengths and engine tune, the 3-Litre remained in production until 1929 by which time some 1,636 are thought to have been made. Mindful that his initial offering was among the most expensive cars on the market, W.O. wasted little time in proving its competitive worth. Victorious in the Whitsun Brooklands meeting on May 16th 1921, the design also distinguished itself the following year at the Indianapolis 500 and Tourist Trophy with Bentley netting the Team Prize on the latter event. Justifiably proud of its achievements on the Isle of Man, Bentley not only published a celebratory booklet entitled `The Blue Riband' but also launched a commemorative `T.T. Replica'. Based on the short standard 9ft 9¢in wheelbase chassis, the newcomer boasted a high compression engine, close-ratio gearbox and 90mph top speed. Responsible for giving Bentley its first taste of success at Le Mans when Captain John Duff and Frank Clement drove one to fourth place overall during the inaugural 24-hour race on May 26th-27th 1923, the 'T.T. Replica' evolved into the 'Speed Model' that same year. Achieving two outright Le Mans 24-hour victories and some 513 sales, the latter has long been among the most sought after 3 Litre variants. According to the factory records, this particular Speed Model - chassis 893 - was clothed with notably elegant two-door, four-seater Tourer coachwork by Vanden Plas (body number 1116) and delivered new via the Gladstone Motor Company to Mr G.F. Small of Bruce Road, Glasgow. The ensuing keepers were J.H. Cuthbertson of Kilmalcolm followed by F. Locke of Glasgow, who retained the Bentley until at least the end of the service records in 1936. From then until the commencement of the current long-term family ownership during 1958, known custodians in chronological order were: L.W. Campbell-Colquhoun of Crieff, I. Denton of Rossett, G.H. Naylor of Lymm, G. Edwards, and P. Greaves of St. Helens who acquired the Speed Model sometime during 1955. An accompanying green logbook reveals that the Bentley has sported its present Red and Black livery since at least 1964. During his tenure, the vendor's late father is understood to have overhauled the original engine raising its compression ratio and fitting a BM 1800 camshaft in the process. The Speed Model also benefits from the fitment of a 4.5 Litre steering column numbered HF 3180 (however, the original 3 Litre one has been retained should a new owner wish to reinstate it). Not started or run for some three years, 'XW 9502' is now in need of recommissioning. Able to boast its original engine and Vanden Plas coachwork, it is also thought to retain its factory-fitted A-Type gearbox and 13/51 ratio back axle. Offered complete with a variety of service records, Vanden Plas order sheet, extract from Clare Hay's 'Bentley the Vintage Years' book, selection of photographs, green logbook, instruction book, old invoices and MOT certificates.
1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Tourer A logical progression from Rolls-Royce's first 'owner driver' model, the 20hp, the 20/25hp was introduced in 1929. Initially almost identical to its forebear, the newcomer enjoyed a greater turn of outright speed (up to 75mph depending on the type of bodywork fitted), notably superior acceleration and improved economy thanks to an enlarged 3,669cc version of the company's proven OHV straight-six engine. Fed by a single Rolls-Royce carburettor and carrying both magneto and coil ignition, the super-smooth powerplant was mounted in unit with a four-speed manual gearbox - this was operated via a traditional right-hand change and featured synchromesh on the top two ratios from 1932 onwards. Capable of supporting a wide variety of coachwork to personal taste, the 20/25hp's substantial ladder frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and a mechanical servo. Progressively developed, the Rolls-Royce 20/25hp remained in production until 1936, by which time some 3,827 are thought to have been sold, making it the company's best-selling model between the wars. Autocar magazine noted that it had 'great refinement of power, and a gentleness and quietness in doing its work, which makes results deceptive'. This extremely striking Tourer hails from 1933 but, was apparently rebodied in 1986 by Horsefields of Halifax, based on a barrel-sided Barker design. The coachwork and wire wheels are resplendent in Cream that's teamed with a 'wonderfully mellowed' Red button-leather interior. The vendor presently views the coachwork, paintwork, interior trim, six-cylinder engine and four-speed manual transmission as all being in 'good' order. He informs us that the Rolls has remained unused for the last three years and, although on the button, would arguably benefit from a general checkover and service before being pressed into regular use. He is selling the motorcar complete with original owners' handbook and history file with a selection of old MOTs etc.
1987 Volkswagen Komet High Top Camper Van - Restored to a high standard c.3 years ago including bare metal respray and retrim of interior - Detailed history file including manuals, articles, sales brochure, expired MoTs and invoices - c.86,000 miles and driving extremely well, this amazing Komet is all ready for the holiday season With the exchange rate encouraging Brits to increasingly consider 'staycations', motorhomes provide a welcome alternative to the extremes of kipping in a nice warm hotel or under canvas, and good classic examples are increasingly sought after. 'E38 JYT' could fit the bill for many of those afflicted with wanderlust. It is based on Volkswagen's trusty Type 2 T3 model that was produced between 1979 and 2002, was converted to camper specification by Autohomes of Poole, Dorset, and is powered by a 1915cc engine of 78bhp. Three years ago it was treated to a 'no expense spared' restoration that included: bare metal respray in white; retrim in Brown and Cream; new curtains to the original specification by a Volkswagen specialist; the side window rubbers being replaced and trimmed in chrome; new awning, wheels, tyres, hub caps and outer rims - apparently the replacement decals alone cost £450. The Vee Dub's comprehensive specification features rear roof ladder, top box storage, viewing area, pair of gas bottles, extension leads etc. The neatly laid out and immaculately presented interior includes sleeping accommodation for up to four adults by way of high and low level beds, cooker, fridge and all the odd mod cons you can reasonably pack into the space available. Since the refurbishment, 'E38 JYT' has been stored in dry, heated premises and used only sparingly. It is now being offered complete with: sales brochure; 1986 article from Motor Caravan magazine; owners' manual; instructions for the cooker and fridge; selection of general invoices and for the restoration work carried out; V5C; MOTs dating back to 1991, plus one valid to August 16th. The mileage currently stands at 86,800 and the vendor unsurprisingly views the camper's condition as 'very good' throughout. A serious consideration for those who have yet to fully sample the UK countryside's countless delights.

A Second China War medal to Sapper Frederick Richardson, 8th Company Royal Engineers, no clasp (SAPPER FREDK. RICHARDSON. 8TH C. ROYAL ENGRS), officially impressed, light scratching and knocks but little wear, therefore nearly extremely fine. Although not entitled to a clasp for any of the major successful actions of the war, this man belonged to the small Army contingent present at the disastrous amphibious assault on the Taku Forts on June 25th 1859. The forts at the mouth of the Peiho river were critical in that they controlled access to Teinsin, and ultimately to Pekin. The British had captured them earlier in the war, and a treaty had been concluded which was awaiting Imperial ratification. Frustrated at the prevarication of the Chinese, British and French diplomats were conveyed north by the Royal Navy in an attempt to approach Pekin directly. They found that the Peiho River defences had been strengthened, and seeing that the Chinese meant to deny them access, the Navy attempted a landing, which was thwarted by thick mud and spirited opposition. 25 men of the 8th, including Richardson, had been attached to the 10th Company R.E., and served as riflemen and ladder bearers during this otherwise exclusively Naval action. Offered with research.
