Novohispanic School. Possibly Potosí. Bolivia. Signed Fonceca, 1774."True Portrait of Our Lady of Soterraña"Oil on canvas glued to wood. Signed "fonceca pint." and dated 1774.41,5 x 31 cm. The cartouche at the bottom margin reads: "La Milagrosa Imagen de Nuestra Señora de la Soterraña venerada en Santa María de Nieva, especial defensora de rayos y centellas." (The Miraculous Image of Our Lady of Soterraña venerated in Santa María de Nieva, a special defender against lightning and sparks.)The Virgin of Soterraña is a Marian advocation venerated in the church of the town of Santa María la Real de Nieva in Segovia, where, as reported by Josemi Lorenzo in his interesting research on the church, "ten representations of the Virgin of Soterraña, eight pictorial and two sculptural," are found, indicating the strong devotional weight this image has historically had in the place where it appeared."The image of this Virgin Mary was found at the end of the 14th century buried in a cave on the hill that was then in the municipal district of Nieva. Its name, in fact, means 'subterranean' in old Castilian. As Lorenzo continues to explain, and as we indeed read on the cartouche of this painting, the image was the "special protector against storms and hail [and] was fundamental in an agrarian context which faced adverse weather."Its worship spread to other areas of Spain such as Navarra and Logroño, Lorenzo continues to report, "shepherds and sailors [...], the former through migration, the latter by sailing the sea, spread her virtues and devotion to places such as Argentina, Bolivia, and the Philippines, where a ninth example which has been moved to an unknown location is documented."Of the eight painted depictions in the parish church in Segovia, we would like to highlight the most complex of those preserved, from the first half of the 18th century, where the Virgin of Soterraña with the Child in her left arm is depicted, along with Ensign Alonso del Canto y Ocampo, conqueror of the Philippines in 1563. It is a votive offering made a century after the death of the ensign to whom it is dedicated, which adds additional interest to the painting, as Josemi Lorenzo affirms.Another highlight from amongst these eight is the True Portrait of the Virgin of Soterraña, "exhibited in the northern end" of the church, which, was donated by Alejo Bonifaz and painted in San Luis de Potosí in 1785.With the painting we have in the auction, added to the existing ones, we reach a dozen pictorial representations of this curious Marian advocation. Taking into account the expansion of the worship of the Virgin that we mentioned and that the painting was created in Potosí in 1785, it is reasonable to assume that this painting, from a similar time, came from the same cultural nucleus. Without a doubt, this True Portrait, with the accompanying angels and the liturgical scenery with candlesticks, candelabra, and drapery, is more elaborate than the True Portrait in the church. Reference bibliography:- Lorenzo Arribas, Josemi.

CRANACH, Lucas (1472-1553), after. ("Christ and the Apostles"). N.d. (c. 1550?). Series of 13 woodcuts of Christ and the Apostles portrayed in full, all v°'s blank. Each c. 315 x 180 mm. All hinged to cardboard mounts, divided over three separate 19th c. gilded oak wooden frames w. red velvet striping, each 'portrait' having its own glass window. (Margins trimmed/cut close to/on/over border line, some foxing/browning, and slight staining in places).NOTE: Very rare series, strongly resembling the series by Cranach, but with considerable differences (i.a. the adding of 'landscapes' at the foot of each print). Despite our efforts we have not been able to detect a similar series, neither in a collection, nor in auction. Our series does not include St. Peter. Each woodcut carries in the left outer section a 'stamp' which could be seen as a monogram? Thanks to the kind assistance of Frans Laurentius we could identify a watermark in 1 woodcut (most likely - as a coat of arms together with a rooster). This type of paper originates from Troyes in Champagne and was probably produced by the Nivelle family of papermakers, dates range between 1546 and 1557. - Cf. Dodgson, Early German & Flemish woodcuts, 103-116; Hollstein, German, 31-44.

Case No. 30122):‘On the 13th June 1899, a child fell into the Tyne at Newcastle, the depth at the time being 12 feet. Renforth, who was in bad health at the time, plunged in from the quay and, at great risk, supported it till a boat came. When the boat came it was pulled right over Renforth, cutting his head open, and he was taken from the water in an exhausted state’.Stephen Renforth was born in Gateshead, Tyneside in 1852. During his life as a waterman, he gained the enviable reputation as a lifesaver and was reputed to have saved 62 lives, 46 of which were from the Tyne. It was at the age of 12 that he rescued the first of many; jumping into the Tyne and rescuing a boy who had fallen in near the Redheugh Bridge. He received the Royal Humane Society Medal in bronze in 1890 for a rescue at Gateshead and was to receive two clasps to the Medal for rescues at Gateshead and Newcastle in 1895 and 1899 respectively. At the first presentation of the Tynemouth Medals made on 7 August 1895 by the Mayor of Newcastle, Alderman W. Stephenson and Joseph Cowen, M.P., three medals were presented and the names of the recipients, numbered in order, were entered in the “Book of Heroes” - that of Stephen Renforth was the second name entered. In his latter years Renforth became blind and the Newcastle Temperance Society and some friends presented him with an organ with the object of providing him a livelihood by playing in the streets. This he played on the streets of Newcastle until his death in 1910. In addition to the above, Renforth was awarded three Royal Humane Society Certificates.…

ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE INTEREST: DISTANT, W.L. - 'RHOPALOCERA MALAYANA': A DESCRIPTION OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE MALAY PENINSULA published by West, Newman & Co, London, and also D. Logan, Penang, 1882, retaining colour lithographed plates, with ink annotations throughout, believed to be that of Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), the volume also annotated to front flyleaf 'L. Richmond Wheeler….Bound - Chowrata Malay School, Penang, May, 1937', later red half leather bindingProvenance: By repute, purchased from a second-hand bookshop in Southampton (UK) in 1978, along with a copy of Wallace's autobiography 'My Life' (1905) which contained an autographed letter of his (see Lot 169 in this auction). This volume has been inspected by Dr George Beccaloni, Director of the Wallace Correspondence Project. The annotations have been examined by an expert on Wallace's hand-writing who came to the conclusion that the handwriting was "probably that of Wallace.'' Wallace possibly used the book when he wrote a review of it for the journal Nature in 1882  - he was an admirer of Distant and corresponded with him on various issues.Supporting evidence of the date is found in a leaflet included in the book advertising the publication of The Butterflies of India, Burma and Ceylon (Marshall & Nicéville, Calcutta Press 1882) which is a comprehensive guide to butterfly species found in the regions of India, Burma (now Myanmar), and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). There is also, curiously, a pressed flower inside the back cover of the Distant book, provisionally identified by Sir Ghillean Prance as a species of Poppy,  which was almost certainly put there by the British educationalist, philosopher of biology and botanist Leonard Richard Wheeler (1888-1948), into whose hands the book seems to have passed after Wallace's death.  We shall never know the exact circumstances, but it seems feasible that Wallace brought this volume back from Malaya and that somehow it passed to Wheeler. Wheeler seemingly took the book to Penang with him where he worked as a Schools Inspector for the British Colonial Service. He has written on the inside cover of the book "L R Wheeler 1936,  Bound - Chlororasta Malay School, Penang May.1937". Wheeler returned to Britain in 1945 to avoid the advance of the Japanese forces into Penang.Note: Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) was one of the leading evolutionary thinkers of the 19th century. A contemporary of Charles Darwin, he independently conceived the theory of evolution through natural selection, travelled the world collecting specimens including courageous solo trips up the Amazon and even addressed humanity's place in the universe. William Lucas Distant (1845-1922) was inspired to write a study of natural history on a whaling trip to the Malay Peninsula with his father in 1867. He was editor of the journal The Zoologist and was employed by the British Museum of Natural History between 1899 and 1920, where he worked mainly on bugs (Hemiptera). He also collected many species of insects during a four-year stay in South Africa, many of which were described in his 'Insecta Transvaaliensia' (1900-1911).

Registration No: T409 TGC Chassis No: SCCJA111XXHC37459 MOT: T.B.ARecently subject to extensive recommissioning works and a professional detail after a long period of storageTwo former keepers with the current keeper since 2005Finished in Lotus Racing Green Metallic with Black upholsteryDue to be freshly MOT tested ahead of the sale following a period of inactivityIntroduced at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Lotus Elise was a driver’s car par excellence. A paragon of lightness, agility and responsiveness, the newcomer utilised a bonded extruded aluminium chassis clad with fibreglass body panels. Mid-mounted and allied to five-speed manual transmission, its 1.8 litre K-Series engine produced a modest 118bhp and 122lbft of torque. However, with a kerb weight of just 725kg the two-seater was capable of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and over 120mph. Able to glide over a broken British B-road in typical Lotus fashion, the Elise did without power steering, ABS or traction control and was all the better for it.A higher powered version of the model known as the 111S was introduced in 1999. Its extra urge was supplied by the VVC (Variable Valve Control) version of the K Series engine, which endowed the Lotus with an additional 25bhp. Related changes included a closer ratio gearbox, lower final drive ratio, cross-drilled brakes, rear spoiler, six-spoke alloy wheels, headlamp covers, ‘chipcutter’ front grille, additional seat padding and alloy window winders.Supplied by HR Owen of London and registered on the 13th August 1999, this rare Elise Series 1 '111S' was specified in the attractive colour scheme of Lotus Racing Green Metallic over a Black interior and supplied with a now very rare luggage rack, matching hardtop and quick release steering wheel. Purchased by a Mr Quayle of Wimbledon, South West London initially, the Lotus was kept by him for only three years (and serviced by HR Owen throughout this period) before passing to the second registered keeper based in Cambridgeshire. The second owner kept on top of servicing and a number of bills remain on file from Lotus specialists GST Performance for his period of ownership. The third and current keeper acquired the two-seater in November 2005 and kept it well maintained until it was put into dry storage in 2013 when he had children, so a family car took the mantle of being the daily driver. It was before this period of storage that the little Green Lotus was treated to some tasteful performance upgrades which include a full Super Sprint exhaust system, larger throttle body and Typhoon air intake, which, with a re-map has significantly improved power output, however, the stock parts are supplied with the sale if this is preferred.The vendor acquired 'T409 TGC' from the current registered keeper some months ago as a project to recommission and has mechanically overhauled the car by performing a full service including cambelt & head gasket, fitting new EBC brake pads and upgraded brake lines, replacing the fuel pump and filter, the fitment of new semi-slick tyres and work to the gear linkages with the fitment of new Powerflex bushes to improve action. The original Bilstein shock absorbers were found to be in good order, however, a replacement pair of rears are included in the sale. The current displayed mileage is a mere 78,517 miles on the odometer (though this will increase as it will be driven to sale).Now offered for sale and described by the seller as being in 'very good condition' all round, we were pleased to see that this Elise presents as a particularly original example that has had minimal paintwork to improve it over the years (although some small stone chips remain) and with no obvious signs of bodyshell deterioration. A good history file is presented with the car, which includes the original book pack and a CD-Rom workshop manual, evidence of previous servicing work, old MOTs and UK V5C. The vendor expects to have a new MOT applied as part of the sale. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: 569 TTT Chassis No: 26475 MOT: March 20261 of just 192 Alvis TD21 Series I Drophead Coupes made and featuring coachwork by Park WardUprated to Series II specification with a ZF five-speed manual transmission and front disc brakesThe beneficiary of a comprehensive restoration during the 1980'sAccompanied by a large history file including documentation relating to the restoration and copies of the factory recordsFeatured as the cover star of the book ‘Alvis Three-Litre in Detail’ by David Culshaw Launched in late 1958, the Alvis TD21 was stylistically indebted to a special-order Hermann Graber Coupe variant of its TC21/100 predecessor. Suitably reinterpreted for production by Park Ward, the newcomer's decidedly elegant coachwork sat atop a rigid box-section chassis equipped with independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension and a leaf-sprung back axle. Powered by a 2993cc OHV straight-six engine allied to either a four-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the four-seater boasted a 100mph-plus top speed. Featuring a polished wood fascia, leather upholstery, and pile carpets, the TD21 could be had in two-door Saloon or Drophead Coupe guises and was every bit as luxurious as its contemporaries. Superseded by the Series II in 1962, just 192 of the 784 Series I cars made were Drophead Coupes.According to a copy of the Alvis chassis record included in the history file, chassis 26475 was supplied through Day’s Garage of Lowestoft to a Mr David Cartwright of Beccles, Suffolk on the 20th January 1961 and registered initially as ‘2 HBJ’. According to correspondence on file, Mr Cartwright was particularly meticulous about his new purchase and a letter from Day’s to Alvis’ Service Manager dated 10th January 1963 shows that the car had been subject to the fitment of five different gearboxes by this time and was delivered back to Park Ward for minor body repairs at this time. Mr Cartwright parted company with the Drophead during 1965, and following two further changes of ownership, the fourth owner opted to have the car fully cosmetically and mechanically overhauled which is documented by a thick file displaying photographs of the car back to the chassis and having extensive metalworking tasks performed. It was at this time that it was repainted in the stunning Maroon Red that is retained today, and the car was then re-registered as ‘569 TTT’. Evidently now a particularly fine vehicle, a Dr Nield of Goole then took custodianship in 1989 and kept it some 15 years before the previous owner acquired the car from him. The previous owner then kept the car until 2013 before it was entrusted to Red Triangle and sold to the current owner (and daughter of the vendor) in 2013. It is somewhat hard to convey just how extensive the history file for ‘596 TTT’ is, but it documents an extensive maintenance record with receipts on file from world-renowned Alvis experts Red Triangle plus others for sundry tasks such as re-chroming of the brightwork. The vendor has kept up this extensive servicing plan and has performed various tasks including a clutch change, cylinder head overhaul and brake overhaul within the last three years and he was keen to point out that the car has covered less than 1,000 miles since the major works.Upon inspection, it was noted that ‘596 TTT’ is a very attractive example and a short drive to the photography session by the consigning specialist was deemed to be very pleasant indeed. The previously fitted ZF Five-Speed gearbox and front disc brakes as per Series II specification have put the car into a completely different league to most Series I TD21’s and it appears to be eminently usable. The vendor rates the engine and electrical equipment as ‘very good’ and the transmission as ‘excellent’. Cosmetically, the car wears its older restoration well and although there are areas of maturity that are expected for any car of this age, the paintwork appears to have been a particularly fine job when last applied and the interior trim is certainly of a very fine quality. Due to the light aging of the restoration, the vendor rates the bodywork, paintwork, and interior trim as ‘good’.Now offered for sale simply due to a lack of use in recent years, this example of the TD21 should certainly not be missed. Offering what might be the best value for money in the market for a hand built six-cylinder drophead from the 1960’s, ‘569 TTT’ appears to be as ready as ever and is offered with an extensive history file which includes the aforementioned chassis history supplied by Red Triangle, restoration record and leather-bound folder supplied by Red Triangle, plus two separate folders outlining expenditure both in the previous and current ownership.

Registration No: ALF 999H Chassis No: SB2596 MOT: ExemptOne of less than 350 S3 Lotus 7s builtFitted with the rarely seen Holbay-tuned Ford engineOnly two owners from new, with the first long-term owner from new until sold by H&H to the current owner in 2016A motoring icon, the Lotus Seven was introduced at the 1957 Earl’s Court Motor Show. Stylistically indebted to its MkVI predecessor, the newcomer featured a spaceframe chassis and aluminium bodywork fabricated by the Progress Chassis Company and Williams & Pritchard respectively (both companies being near neighbours of Lotus). A multi-tubular affair, the Seven’s structure was, in many ways, a simplified version of that which underpinned the marque’s highly successful Eleven sports racer. Designed for fast road and / or competition usage, the newcomer could be had with a choice of Ford ‘sidevalve’, BMC A-Series OHV or Coventry-Climax OHC engines. Available in factory finished or self-build guises, the Seven was expensive compared to the plethora of specials on the market at the time but altogether more accomplished. Only in production from 1968 to 1970, only around 340 of the Lotus 7 S3 were produced, compared to approximately 1300 Series 2's.Ordered new from Caterham Cars in Autumn 1969, chassis SB2596 was ordered with the rarely found Holbay-tuned Ford crossflow power-unit mated to the later Ford gearbox and rear axle and further specified with Lotus-Dunlop alloy wheels and seatbelts. It is said that the originally fitted fibreglass nose cone and wings were painted yellow when new. In the ownership of its purchaser-from-new until sold by H&H to the current owner in 2016, the two-seater’s engine was returned to Holbay in 1989 to be completely overhauled as a precautionary measure and during the refurbishment it was fitted with a later stronger cylinder block. Further bills on file suggest that the car was treated to a new pair of Weber DCOE 40 carburettors in 1990. Upon acquisition by the vendor in 2016, the car required mild recommissioning which was subsequently performed and through his nine-year ownership it was also treated the interior to a re-trim into the Dark Red Diamond-stitched leather guise that it retains today. The fibreglass nosecone was found to be in bad shape, so the decision was made to have an Aluminium replacement fabricated which gives the little Lotus the look of an earlier car. Having been housed in the vendor’s collection with several other historic motoring greats, ‘ALF 999H’ has been the beneficiary of a high standard of maintenance and is said to be ‘very good mechanically’ today.Offered with a good history file complete with bills for the aforementioned works and Lotus heritage certificate, SB2596 is now offered without reserve to find a new, loving home. If you’ve not experienced driving a Lotus Seven yet – you certainly need to! For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: RNX 15 Chassis No: 57200376 MOT: ExemptAn exciting recent barn-find in the same family ownership for over fifty yearsExtremely solid example treated to chassis repairs some years previouslyJust 53,852 recorded and credible milesDesigned by Maurice Wilks in 1947, a Land-Rover rates highly on any list of the world's most significant vehicles, and the Series 1 variants are highly sought after due to it be considered that the purer - the better. A simple ladder frame chassis, steel bulkhead and rugged square-formed aluminium panels created a strong workhorse for light industrial, countryside and military use alike. In 1954, 86-inch and 107-inch wheelbases were introduced - the 107-inch being the first production long wheel base Land Rover, and later that year, the 'spread-bore' engine became standard, which offered better cooling between the cylinders. The 107" was replaced only two years later by the 109", which was necessary to accomodate the new Diesel engine.Registered in 1955, chassis 57200376 retains its original registration number 'RNX 15' denoting that it came from the Warwickshire area, which is where it resides to this day. Understood to have been bought new by the vendor's father, the long-wheelbase Land Rover proved a fine workhorse during most of its life and was part of the family business being used to tow Avon river-based sight-seeing cruisers of some 30-40ft through Stratford-upon-Avon to the boat yard for repairs. As the 'Landy' aged, it was marked for preservation - the vendor's late father repainting the bodywork Grey and spending much time having the chassis repaired to a high standard some 20 years ago. Sat in dry storage in the boat yard that it served since, the pick-up is said to have been started on an annual basis and it is confirmed that it last ran in early 2024. The untimely passing of the vendor's father has meant this fabulous example is not getting the use it deserves so the vendor has chosen to find its second ever home.A delightfully original example retaining features such as what are believed to be the original floor mats and seats, 'RNX 15' is to be sold in need of thorough recommissioning and is supplied complete with its V5C displaying 0 previous keepers, plus a layer of barn-dust that will make for an exciting first wash!

Registration No: 2214 UE Chassis No: AN5/43849 MOT: ExemptUnderstood to be the first Sprite to be entered into an international event as a 'Sebring Sprite'Driven by John Sprinzel and John Patten to a class win and third overall on the Liege-Rome-Liege Rally in 1960Rebodied by Peel Coachworks in late 1961 to full Aluminium 'Sprinzel Sebring Sprite Coupé' configurationDisplayed on the Sprinzel stand at The Racing Car Show 1962Purchased by lifetime BRDC member Mike Reid in 1962 and then driven to a second in class finish at the Nurburgring 1000km raceIn the ownership of the late John Tizard since 1972 who painstakingly restored the aluminium bodyshellEligible for several historic racing events including the Goodwood Weslake Cup'2214 UE's' story began in 1960. Donald Healey and John Sprinzel were having lunch at the Steering Wheel Club when John Patten walked over to discuss a rally car. A deal was struck for a Sprite - if Sprinzel would drive the Liege-Rome-Liege that year.First registered to the DHMC, ‘2214 UE’ was duly entered into the ‘Liege and with Sprinzel driving, achieved a third overall with a class win. Further success followed with a second in class at the German rally and a fourth in class at the RAC Rally.During 1961, the registered owner of ‘2214 UE’ was changed to Patten and then it was sold to BRDC member, Mike Reid in October 1961 and Peel Coachworks rebuilt the body as an Alloy Coupé. The car was then displayed at the Racing Car Show on the Sprinzel stand. Immediately, it was prepared for racing and it was entered at the May Silverstone GT Race where it finished fourth in class and shortly after it was driven to a second in class finish at the Nurburgring 1000km and returned for fourth in class at the 500km in September. The final recorded meeting in Mike Reid’s ownership was for the 3 Hour at the Autosports Finals where it finished third in class. Mike Reid kept the car until 1963, and passed through several owners before John Tizard acquired it. John campaigned the car over the next six years but in 1978, John rolled the car which resulted in the car needing significant work. After a strip down, John had the alloy panels and chassis straightened and fitted a 1275cc engine. Unfortunately, John passed away in 2020 having not been able to finish the restoration.The car is now offered as a rolling shell complete with the numerous original fitments, including two engines (one of which is believed to be the 995cc works engine). It presents a unique opportunity for any prospective buyer to enter several historic racing events for which it is eligible for.PLEASE NOTE: It has now been confirmed by previous owner Chris Cooke that the original bonnet for the car is the fibreglass bonnet supplied and that one of the spare engines is actually believed to be an 1150cc works 'XSP' engine, not the 995cc unit previously stated.

A real super saloon with an aluminium body, the X350-series Jaguar XJR was powered by a 4.2 litre supercharged V8 engine allied to a new six-speed ZF automatic transmission, said to offer better economy. With a quoted 395bhp, the model was reputedly capable of 155mph. All round air suspension with rear self-levelling was offered as part of the package.Manufactured in 2004, the XJR offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 20th of April that year.

Rated by the vendor as having ‘good’ bodywork and paintwork, ‘very good’ engine and electrical equipment, gearbox, and interior trim, the XJR is due to be offered with a fresh MOT certificate in time for sale.PLEASE NOTE: Whilst attending a pre-MOT inspection, the ABS pump failed and is displaying numerous error codes on the dashboard. It is now offered without an MOT but will be supplied with a spare pump for the new owner. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: LGC 846 Chassis No: B25GT MOT: ExemptKnown ownership since newOffered with an extensive history file that recites much recent expenditureSubject to a clutch replacement and ignition system work in preparation for saleIntroduced in 1946, Bentley's MKVI was the first vehicle ever offered by the company with factory-designed coachwork, and the first to be assembled in Rolls-Royce's Crewe factory rather than the old Derby premises. Aimed at the emerging 'owner-driver' luxury car market, the newcomer was closely based on the 1939 MKV (of which only fifteen were produced). Built around a massive cruciform-braced chassis with independent front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, it was fitted with a freshly developed 4257cc OISE (overhead inlet side exhaust valve) straight-six engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. Capable of over 100mph when clad in the factory's understated 'standard steel saloon' coachwork, the MKVI quickly developed a reputation for being a refined yet responsive drive.According to copies of the chassis cards that are supplied within the history file, chassis B25GT was ordered on April 26th, 1950 through Rolls Royce subsidiary Park Ward & Co and specified in Tudor Grey over a Light Blue interior colour. It would be first registered on May 1st as ‘LGC 846’. The first owner was a Miss Nancy Quenelda Radcliffe Platt of Henley-on-Thames. She was a remarkable woman who in the 1920s and 30s had been an accomplished tennis player. Historic records show that she had played competitively in Cannes, Monte Carlo and at Wimbledon. Radcliffe kept the car for just two years before it was sold to the then Chairman of Booker Brothers, Sir Jock Campbell, an extraordinary man who in 1966 was made Baron Campbell of Escan by then Prime Minister Harold Wilson and was reputedly very good friends with James Bond novelist, Ian Fleming. Jock must have used the car extensively as the chassis record shows it required an engine overhaul with new pistons and camshaft bearings in October 1956. Jack Barclay Limited of Berkeley Square then took 'LGC 846' in part exchange against a new Bentley Continental in March 1959, allowing £1,100 for the then 82,000 miles car against the £4750 cost of the new Bentley. On May 11th that same year, 1959, it was bought by Rolls Royce coachbuilders and dealers James Young for £1,000. Just three days later they sold it on to a new owner in Sevenoaks.The green continuation logbook first dated 1965 shows further owners in Greater London, Surrey and Dudley in the West Midlands. An auction catalogue from Victoria & Co of Buckingham Place Road, London for their sale on February 9th, 1980, and the car, lot 119 is described as “A really exceptional example, having been recently restored”. It then remained in the same ownership for some 35 years. The previous owner who bought the Bentley in 2015 subjected the car to much maintenance and in addition to a complete repaint, a program of mechanical work was also completed. This included kingpins, water pump, radiator, brake overhaul, the fitment of a high ratio Continental differential, plus the fitment of a full flow oil filter plus cylinder head work. The vendor purchased ‘LGC 846’ during 2022 from renowned dealer, Classic & Sports Car Centre of Malton, North Yorkshire for some £33,800 and has used it as a service vehicle for guests of his country estate in Devon, advertising it for use for weddings and other events. Due to the Bentley being a working car, the requirement has been to maintain it to a ‘tip-top’ standard, with the fitment of a new clutch and ignition system servicing being the most recent tasks performed.Now described by the vendor as a ‘very good’ example both mechanically and cosmetically, the delightful original interior complements the paint scheme very well. It was noted that the main area to address is some small areas of paint correction needed although they are considered minor. Supplied with the original tool kit, it also come with a large history file containing the aforementioned chassis cards, invoices for work performed over the years in the current and previous ownership and the UK V5C.

Registration No: EWK 959 Chassis No: 48053 MOT: ExemptSubject to over £5,000 of mechanical works in the current ownership since purchased from H&H in 2021The beneficiary of previous extensive restoration including a new ash frameOffered with much documentation plus maintenance literatureIntroduced in 1937, the Daimler EL24 featured a 10ft 4in wheelbase and more interior space than many rivals thanks to the forward positioning of its 3.3-litre straight-six OHV engine. Based around a cruciform-braced, box-section chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, Luvax shock absorbers and Dewandre servo-assisted Girling drum brakes, the newcomer was available with a choice of open and closed coachwork some of which was crafted in-house, but most six-light Limousines were bodied by Charlesworth. The four-speed pre-selector gearbox was allied to the marque’s fluid flywheel and employed a direct drive top gear. It is believed that only 710 examples were made up until 1940.First registered on the 19th February 1940, chassis 48053 is understood to retain its original registration number ‘EWK 959’ which denotes that it was first delivered to the Coventry area. Little is known about its early history, but having survived its birth and early years during the depths of the Second World War it made its way to Mr Ron Rostron who acquired it during the late 1960’s. The vendor contacted Mr Rostron after acquiring the stately Limousine from the H&H May 2021 Duxford Sale and Mr Rostron remembered ‘EWK’ well. He recalled that he purchased the car from a roadside for £46 and the long lost buff logbook stated that the car was ‘destroyed in action’ in the Coventry factory where it was made – yet the car survives?Fast forward some years however, and the car was in the possession of a Mrs Anne Cannon who acquired it during 2003. It is understood that between Mrs Cannon's custodianship and it being sold to the previous owner during 2016 that 'EWK' was subject to a complete body and mechanical overhaul which included a new ash frame, respray, rewire, re-plating of the bright work and a re-trim with black leather in the driver’s compartment and a West of England Wool cloth trim in the passenger compartment. The car then spent some time in a museum on static display until the vendor acquired it in 2021 and entrusted the car to Connaught Cars to perform recommissioning works. In total, around £5,000 was spent during this time and the vendor now rates its all-round condition as ‘very good’ mechanically and cosmetically.Now offered for sale due a house-move within London that means that storage space is being lost, ‘EWK 959’ is a rare survivor that should be an excellent addition to any collection. This magnificent Daimler is offered complete with a large history file that evidences expenditure, plus a copy of ‘The Driving Member’ (The Daimler & Lanchester club’s magazine’ that features the car.

Registration No: RAM 35 Chassis No: AN5/1307 MOT: ExemptBuilt by the late owner Keith Hopwood as a replica of the original Paddy Gaston campaigned Downton Sebring Sprite 'RAM 35'Understood to have been fitted with some of the original parts of 'RAM 35' during ownership by John BrittenSupplied fitted with 1275cc engine and Weber carburettor plus a spare 1150cc engine and various carburettorsIdeal for Modsport category of the Midget & Sprite ChallengeThanks to its prominent, bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Sprite quickly became known as the 'Frogeye' - a moniker that has stuck to this day. The little two-seater, designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company and built by BMC at the MG factory in Abingdon, was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. The unique, one-piece bonnet covered a mildly tuned, 43bhp 948cc version of the BMC 'A' series engine already found in the Austin A35 and Morris Minor. The suspension was coil spring and wishbone at the front and quarter elliptic springs at the rear, with lever arm dampers all round. The construction was 'integrated' rather than a full monocoque and featured forward projecting chassis legs of the type used in the E-Type Jaguar. The minimal specification excluded exterior door handles and boot lid. Some 49,000 Frogeyes were built between 1958 and 1961. The Sprite was quickly adopted for competition by both privateers and the Works - the latter's first major success being the win of John Sprinzel and Willy Cave on the 1958 Alpine Rally. The model is still proving handy in rallies, races, sprints, hillclimbs and autotests to this day.According to records on file, chassis AN5/1307 was sold by W Goddard & Co of Salisbury and registered as ‘RAM 35’ on the 19th May 1958 and is understood to have been bought new by Mr Daniel Richmond of Downton Engineering. Uprated extensively and forever developed, the car was to mainly be driven by John H. (Paddy) Gaston in competition for the following years and eventually was rebodied in full ‘Sebring Sprite’ coupe coachwork and fitted with a Supercharger. Gaston had a tuning and repairs business based in Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey and took the Sprite to its first outing at the Snetterton 1 hour race. Gaston would enter the car in a further 22 events over the next three seasons. He won his class with the car on several occasions including the Snetterton 3 Hours in 1960.Fast forward to 1966 and following several magazine articles which are presented within the history file, ‘RAM 35’ was sold to renowned ‘Spridget’ racer John Britten. Unfortunately, on his first outing with the car at Mallory Park, the pair endured a very dramatic crash which John Baggott described in his book Mighty Midgets and Special Sprites as follows:"The car hit the banking hard, bounced back on to the track and was tapped by another car, sending it into a multiple roll. He remembers being in the cockpit, counting to himself the number of times it went over: 'One, two, three'. The Sprite came to rest in the middle of the track and burst into flames, which were quickly extinguished by the marshals. The driver emerged from the wreck very shaken, but otherwise unharmed".The crash spelled the end for the original shell of ‘RAM 35’, however many of the uprated components were transferred to Britten’s Lenham bodied Sprite known as ‘SS 1800’ which was campaigned far more successfully over the following years and was eventually rebodied with Arkley panels for which it became well known in its own right. Sometime during the late 1990’s, the late owner Keith Hopwood acquired ‘SS 1800’ along with the ID for ‘RAM 35’ and chose to build a recreation of the ex-Paddy Gaston racer which would invariably use some of the original car’s componentry. Hopwood wanted to recreate ‘RAM 35’ with a Sebring style bonnet, and had a new front end and Speedwell-style hardtop made from Fibreglass by Omnibob Ltd. A highly tuned 1275 engine was fitted complete with a Weber DCOE 45 carburettor and the shell from ‘SS 1800’ was further adapted to quarter-elliptic spring arrangement. Once complete, the car was used successfully for several hillclimb and track events and was invited to attend the Goodwood Revival for display in 2008.Mr Hopwood sadly passed away several years ago and the Sprite was left to his widow who has now decided that it is time to sell the car which is now in need of recommissioning having not been run for several years. Offered with an extensive history file displaying all of Mr Hopwood’s research which includes scans of original registration records, magazine articles and several historic photographs of the car in all guises (both ‘RAM 35’ and ‘SS 1800’) plus spares including a spare bored out 1098cc engine block, cylinder head and three different carburettor options, the current incarnation of ‘RAM 35’ is a perfect opportunity for anybody who wishes to enter historic motorsport events and relive the exciting life of Paddy Gaston!

Registration No: VSV 526 Chassis No: 1210426503065 MOT: ExemptSubject to a complete body and mechanical overhaul during the 2010sPresented in the desirable colour scheme of Mercedes Silver over a Dark Blue leather interiorRecently subject to mechanical recommissioning after a period of dry storageSupplied with matching body-colour genuine hardtopThe 190SL was introduced in 1955 – the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR. Indeed, the graceful convertible grand tourer was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR – the 300SL - whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the ‘Ponton’ saloon (W121) platform, which was of monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine - an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 120bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a manual four-speed gearbox. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all round. Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the 230SL (W113). By this time 25,881 190SLs had been produced.According to build records on file, chassis 1210426503065 was despatched from the factory on the 14th July 1956 and originally painted in White, with black leather upholstery. Little is known of the early history of the two-seater, however it is known that the car was first delivered to the German home market before being registered in the Netherlands in 1968, where it was to remain until 2015 when it was imported to the UK by the previous owner. Upon arrival on UK shores, the 190SL was given the registration number ‘VSV 526’ by the DVLA and it is understood that it was around this time that the car was treated to a complete cosmetic and mechanical refresh and was repainted in the very attractive Mercedes Silver-Grey over Dark Blue Leather livery that it presents in today. A bill on file from Red Castle Classics of Caerphilly dating to 2019 evidences the fitment of a new mohair hood, painting of the hub caps and a major service which included setting valve clearances. The vendor acquired ‘VSV 526’ in 2022 after having spent over a year searching for the ‘right’ car and having viewed at least 10 examples. A now semi-retired master mechanic, the vendor was very specific about the car retaining a certain amount of originality and that the bodywork had to be in his view ‘tip-top’. Having found the Roadster, he purchased it with the view that he would be able to complete small mechanical tasks where necessary and use it during the summer months. Unfortunately, due to the vendor’s busy lifestyle, the 190SL has been sat relatively unused in his dry garage since acquisition and having performed minor tasks to improve the car and set it up ‘as well as it can be’, an imminent house move has taken priority, and it has been decided that the car should now find a new home.Upon inspection, it was noted that this example of Mercedes’ baby-roadster is certainly a very good-looking example, and the colour scheme has been particularly well chosen. Still running on the original twin Solex carburettors, it was noted during our short run to the photography session that the car was particularly pleasant to drive and resultingly evoked nostalgic thoughts of 1950’s and 60’s sunny Hollywood, where so many of these cars found favour with the moving picture stars of the time. The vendor’s opinion of the car is that it is ‘very good all round’ and pointed out only minor imperfections to us such as a small pinhole in the rear bumper that was chromed over, although this does evidence the car’s originality.The appeal of the 190SL has never faded and ‘VSV 526’ is now offered by the vendor having had some mechanical improvements ready for the H&H Duxford sale on April 9th. Offered complete with a hard to find body-coloured hardtop, the history file is complete with UK V5C, import paperwork and a photocopy of the aforementioned Mercedes-Benz build record.

Registration No: AM 113 Chassis No: 1617 MOT: ExemptVeteran Car Club Dated and complete with Dating CertificateSubject to a ten-year boiler test in 2019 and offered with valid certificateEligible for the London-Brighton Veteran Car RunFormed in 1899, the Locomobile Company was founded by entrepreneurs A L Barber and J B Walker following the purchase of the rights to manufacture a steam car from the famed Stanley Brothers. The first Locomobile, a lightweight four-wheeler with wire wheels, left the Newton, Massachusetts works that same year. Strongly resembling a horse-drawn carriage in style, the Locomobile was powered by a twin-cylinder engine that utilised a 14” boiler that operated at 150psi positioned beneath the driver’s seat. The driver controlled the steering from the right-side by tiller and a footbrake operated a contracting brake which surrounded the open-drive differential.The Locomobile proved to be very successful, and the most popular variant was the open two-seater Style 2 which was fitted with a 5-gallon petrol tank and 21-gallon boiler. Offered at $750-$1400 depending on which body-style was chosen, it is believed in excess of 5,000 Locomobiles were sold before the company switched to petrol car production in 1903.This Locomobile dates from the first full year of production, but its chassis number 1617 is testament to the enormous popularity Locomobiles enjoyed from day one – advertisements issued in 1900 boasted of 1800 Locomobiles already in use.It seems probable that 1617 was one of around 400 Locomobiles sold in Britain during 1900 and 1901 by William Malesbury Letts, who kept a showroom on Sussex Place, South Kensington. The Veteran Car Club’s dating report reveals that it was owned by the Davis family from new until 1962, before being owned by one Mr. McConnell from 1962 to 1968 and then passing to Bob Sullivan, who kept it until 1970. Throughout the 1970s, the Locomobile was extensively renovated by the late John Horst.Despite its history of enthusiast ownership, 1617 was not dated by the Veteran Car Club until 2012. Upon inspection, the Dating Committee concluded that it was of c.1900 manufacture and duly issued a Veteran Passport, enabling its participation in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. However, we are advised that it has not participated yet.The 72-page Vehicle Identification and Dating Opinion Report concluded that the chassis, axle, controls and some body parts corresponded with the allocated date of c.1900, although the engine was identified as a 1901 unit. Apart from an ‘aftermarket modification’ to the brake, the club was satisfied that in almost every respect 1617 conformed to original specifications.The vendor added 1617 to his small collection of early cars in 2018 but has never had the opportunity to use it. It will therefore be necessary to undertake a thorough inspection of the car and effect some maintenance before taking to the road. The boiler was produced in America in 2012 and fitted in 2019. Following installation, it was subjected to the necessary inspections, but the required annual examination has not been repeated, so will be a priority for the new owner.Presented in the factory-offered scheme of black with red panels and sold with the current V5, Dating Certificate, Veteran Passport, Identification and Dating Report and 2019 boiler inspection reports, this Style 2 represents an attractive entry into the world of steam cars. With the 100th anniversary of the Brighton Run approaching in 2027, here is a superb opportunity for an enthusiastic owner to not only put a rare early car back on the road, but to début it at what may be the most important veteran car gathering in our lifetime.

Registration No: L105 WGH Chassis No: JZA800011837 MOT: April 2026Just 40,648km from new (c.25,146 miles)Imported from Japan in 1999 and used sparingly until dry storage with a private collectorDesirable 2JZ-GTE engine mated to a six-speed Getrag manual transmissionFitted from nearly new with a full VeilSide body kit and split-wheel rimsA 'must have' for the JDM collectorOverseen by Isao Tsuzuki, work on the fourth generation (A80) Toyota Supra began in February 1989. Debuting at the Chicago Motor Show some four years later, the resultant 2+2-seater Coupe was a technological tour de force. Engaged in something of an ‘arms race’ with its fellow Japanese manufacturers and similarly keen to challenge the established European sports car hierarchy, Toyota created a machine which, in its ultimate twin-turbocharged guise, was very special indeed. The heart of the forced induction A80 was the mighty ‘2JZ-GTE’ straight-six DOHC 3.0 litre engine boasting a ‘closed deck’ cylinder block, forged steel crankshaft and three-layer steel cylinder head gasket all of which meant that it was completely unstressed when developing 276bhp and 318lbft of torque in Japanese specification. So strong was the unit that tuners were able to add hundreds of extra horsepower whilst still retaining stock internals. Outputs of over 1,000bhp were readily achievable and the most potent ‘2JZ-GTE’ was rated at 2,041bhp! Little wonder then that so many owners have succumbed to the lure of modification. The other boon of the ‘2JZ-GTE’ was its use of sequential turbochargers, which flattened the torque curve to such an extent that ninety percent of its peak was available from 1,300rpm to 4,500rpm. Today, we take nigh-on ‘lag free’ forced induction for granted, but in the early 1990s it was a revelation. It wasn’t just the engine which marked the flagship A80 as a stand-out design. Inspired by contemporary F1 practice, the Supra utilised a four-channel ABS braking system, enabling Car & Driver magazine to decelerate one from 70-0mph in forty-five metres (a record only surpassed by the Porsche Carrera GT hypercar in 2004). The provision of all-round independent suspension and Bilstein dampers provided ample grip, the Toyota recording 0.98g on the skidpan. However, despite its excellence, the A80 remained something of a left-field choice in the UK with many buyers plumping for a (slower) Porsche 911 or Ferrari 348 instead. Thus, just 623 Supras were UK supplied from 1993-1996, with less than half those thought to have survived.Supplied new to the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) in 1993 as a sought-after JZA80 Twin Turbo-charged Supra fitted with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox, chassis JZA800011837 was imported into the UK in 1999. The desirable full VeilSide body kit that was fitted in Japan, is complemented by a matching set of VeilSide five spoke split rims that are shod with Pirelli T0 tyres. Remarkably, the Twin Turbo-charged Coupé would cover only c.40,000km (c.24,854 miles) before import and before being registered in the UK as ‘L105 WGH’. Used very sparingly until it remained in the vendor’s private collection in a heated garage, it was maintained as-and-when required and now displays some 40,648km (c.25,146 miles). Now presenting as one of the best-preserved examples available and having escaped the usual drift circuits that these cars have become so highly sought-after for, ‘L105 WGH’ has been recently recommissioned with a new cam belt fitted in January 2024 plus a full fluids service, and will be offered complete with a copy of its original Japanese language service book.We would agree with the vendor that the Supra presents ‘excellently’ and must surely be one of the finest examples available on the market. The vendor has informed us that the engine itself remains standard aside from being fitted with an uprated HKS dump valve and HKS full exhaust system, which again, are both in excellent order. The vendor has advised the interior presents ‘excellently’ in the original duo-tone Black and Red colour combination and has an uprated sound system with an Alpine Head Unit, DDDrive Speakers with the customary Japanese TV and DVD player fitted. The vendor has also advised that the factory air-conditioning and electric seats operate ‘flawlessly’.Now presented for the first time on the UK market, this time-warp Supra is a fine example of what has become a truly investable modern classic, with values well on the rise in recent years and more and more interest gathering in them; no doubt for their Ferrari eating qualities!
