- LHD, supplied new to New York but later resident in Los Angeles - Imported to the UK and meticulously restored from 2012-2015 - Air-cooled, 140bhp 2.4-litre engine built to special order in the US The Volkswagen Type 2 (the Beetle was Type 1) has long since acquired cult status courtesy of such diverse celebrity owners as Jamie Oliver, Martin Clunes, Roger Daltry and Jenson Button. It has been home to generations of travelling Australians, helped hippies survive the '60s/'70s and become the transport of choice for many a surfer. Variously available in Van, Bus, Pick-up and Camper guises, it would probably have been nicknamed the 'car that changed the world' if the Model T hadn't got there first. The now much sought after Splitscreen T1 version was launched in 1950, of which this left-hand drive Camper Van is understood to be an immaculate example. Manufactured in 1965, it started life in New York before heading West to Los Angeles. The apparently superb 2012-2015 restoration was carried out here in the UK, where the 'veedub' was granted the registration 'RHR 234C' in June last year. The super smart exterior is finished in the pleasing combination of Green and Cream, as is the sumptuous full leather interior. This is complemented by an Alcantara roof lining, quality bespoke oak storage units, Rock & Roll bed and yacht deck flooring. With just 1,500 miles covered since its restoration, the Camper is reportedly 'virtually as new inside and out' and considered by the vendor to be in 'excellent overall' condition. The engine is a 140bhp 2.4-litre unit built to order in Los Angeles and drives through a bespoke gearbox built for restful high-speed cruising. The chassis upgrades include an IRS conversion and the Camper rides on 16in Bullet wheels. This highly-desirable VW comes complete with additional sound proofing, comprehensive internal lighting, seating for six, sink, fridge, auxiliary battery and plug point, safe, one key locking system, Cobra immobiliser/alarm, roof rack and ladder, oil temperature gauge, and replica period radio with Bluetooth and MP3 connectivity. Stunning!
DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. Typed Manuscript, unsigned, two pages, 4to, n.p., n.d. The manuscript, which features a few small holograph corrections by Du Maurier, is entitled Doctor Carfax discusses the Long Stone with the Notary from Brittany, Monsieur Ledru and was evidently used by Du Maurier in preparation Castle Dor. The manuscript states, in part, 'Why, man, I pass that long Stone (as we call it) almost every day of my life : have examined it many times with the aid of a ladder - for it has been planted upright since its removal from its original site, a rood or two distant, and was a funeral slab carved to lie horizontally - in which position it was found. You have seen it. I helped your fingers trace the Cunomori or Cunowori filius. The jacet can be deciphered by aid of faith. The full inscription begins at the top of the up-ended stone and is actually undecipherable. I have tried it with a magnifying glass, under various altitudes of the sun. I have taken rubbings. But the granite is so eroded that nobody can faithfully report of that part of the inscription. Knowing what I do of granite I avow that the erosion has been considerable even in my lifetime……' Two paperclip rust stains to the right edge of the first page, only very slightly affecting a few words of text, and with some light creasing. Together with an A.L.S., Syb, by an unidentified friend of Du Maurier, four pages, 4to, Garrick Avenue, London, 14th March 1940, to Du Maurier ('Dearest Daph'). The lady writes a largely social letter to Du Maurier, referring to a payment for a statuette and the illness of a mutual acquaintance, 'You know, Daph, it sounds to me like delayed concussion, which is bad….Angela says if I go down, it might frighten her, which is such rot - people must know when they are ill, I never do believe in hiding facts….I know Mo is a bad patient, very irritable, bless her heart, but to say it may make trouble with the servants if I go is silly….The Dr. says she must be kept cheerful - that's a tall order these days of this foul war. The papers don't help one to be very cheerful, do they?' Some light age wear, G to about VG, 2 Castle Dor is a historical novel by Daphne Du Maurier, published in 1961 after she had completed the unfinished manuscript of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch's last novel. Quiller-Couch's daughter, Foy, had given her blessing for Du Maurier to complete the work.
