Lot 647
Charismatic little 948cc-engined Turner 803 purchased new and raced by the legendary Betty Haig, Britain's most successful female competition driver ever.A member of the Haig Whisky family and a grand-niece of Field Marshal Douglas Haig, Commander of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), Elizabeth (Betty) Haig (1905 -1987) was a lifelong enthusiast for all things motoring. She did well in rallies, winning an Olympic Medal in her first pre-war rally, in Germany, with a 1500cc, six-cylinder Singer, a car also used for a WASA trial and Brooklands driving. She then won the Paris-St Raphael Feminin Rally outright in her PB MG, and after the war she won the Ladies’ Cup and her class in the fantastic 1948 Alpine Trial in an AC. She went on a Monte Carlo Rally in an experimental Morris Minor with Elsie Wisdom and Barbara Marshall, and won the 1½ litre class in the very tough 1949 Alpine Trial with a works TC MG.She was equally competent on tarmac driving her HRG to a class-win in a Swiss hill-climb, changed to a Healey-Silverstone, raced a Cooper-JAP and a vee-twin Cooper 1000, drove the highest-placed foreign car, a Triumph TR2, in the 1952 San Remo Rally, raced her AC Ace at Goodwood and Brands Hatch, a Turner 803 in Italy and took Ladies’ Cups at Prescott and Shelsley Walsh with a Lotus Eleven. Then there was a TT MG Magnette raced at Goodwood and Silverstone, gaining a Coupe de Vitesse with an Austin-Healey 100 in a later Paris-St Raphael Rally, and breaking the Ladies’ Record at Prescott in a Lotus 23. A little later she shared a Ferrari with Yvonne Simons in the 1951 Le Mans 24 Hour race, finishing with an average of over 82mph to win the Coupe des Dames. She continued to race for years and loved Silverstone and particularly Goodwood where she competed on a regular basis, presumably using the little Turner in appropriate events. In 1966, Betty and photographer Guy Griffiths established the Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC).A letter in the large history file states that this car, #30/40, was bought new from Jack Turner through Swanden Motor Sales in Worthing by Betty Haig, and registered SUF 1 on 13th March 1957. It’s an 803 but according to a letter in the file, it was fitted with a 948cc A-Series and was, in fact, the prototype for the Turner 950 which commenced production a little later. It appears that at some point the engine was bored out to 997cc and we understand that £100 (a substantial sum then) was invested at Downton Engineering on further modifications. This ‘hot’ engine, although stripped and in need of repair, accompanies the car today which is currently powered by a 948cc unit, lightly modified for road use.In 1960, she sold the car to Isobel Robinson who at that time was the Public Relations Officer for BRM. She had started to compete in Eric Broadley’s 1,172cc Ford engined special (the forerunner to the Lola) before moving to the then Downton-tuned Turner. She owned it for three years continuing to use it in competition – some lovely period shots having been unearthed at the archive at the Beaulieu Motor Museum. The car then moved to Sue Taylor, a friend of Isobel's, who according to a letter from her in 2006, 'raced it a bit'. As a trainee nurse she found it all a bit expensive and part-exchanged it for a Mini. By 1964 the car was seen advertised in Motorsport (copy in file), Sue having kept the number SUF 1 which she still had on her modern Clio when the letter was written. It was re-registered 872 DRV.The story then goes quiet until 1979 when it was discovered, abandoned in Southampton. Recovered by Lee Barton and passed on to his father-in-law, Ken Edwards, its whereabouts was reported to the very active Turner Register. Issued with the age-related number TSV 483, photographs of it exist in a rather down-at-heel state in 1991 when owned by Dave Scott. Happier days lay ahead as the file also contains an invoice and photographs from 1994 of a body-off restoration by West Country Motorsports confirming that the work was completed to a high standard including race preparation. The car was then exported to the US in 1995 to begin the next stage of its life.#30/40’s racing career then took off again, with a series of strong finishes in the VSCCA Historic Race Series before returning to the UK in 2004 where the owner’s brother looked after it until 2012 when it was offered for sale. At that point, on 28th November 2012, it was purchased by our vendor, who’s collection includes some fairly exotic machinery, and was duly registered to him but, as is often the way, it was very rarely used.There is a lot of history with TSV including correspondence from the Turner Registrar, articles and features, old photographs, Turner/Fairthorpe magazines, a number of invoices, restoration details and photographs from 1994, lots of racing results from the US, import documentation, MOTs and V5s etc.Frequently photographed in period, this stunning little Turner is eligible for a wide range of events. It has the potential to be right up there in the thick of it thanks to the ever increasing power outputs squeezed from the remarkable A-Series engine, the superb handling characteristics and the car's light weight. As mentioned earlier, the original engine will be supplied with the car (will need to be collected) and with Betty Haig’s regular appearances at Goodwood and with sufficient investment it may well be welcome at all sorts of glamorous events.Not a concours contender but, with its active period competition history by a brace of well-known lady drivers, this venerable little Turner will no doubt attract a lot of attention wherever it goes.

World War II and later medal group comprising Defence and War Medals and Air Efficiency Award (EII) with further service bar awarded to Flt. Lt. F. R. Young RAFVR. The Air Efficiency Award is granted for 10 years’ efficient service in the Auxiliary and Volunteer Air Forces. The bar is awarded for a further 10 years’ service. Sold along with a particularly extensive archive of research material, photographs, correspondence and the recipient’s logbook and flying helmet. Flight Lieutenant Francis (Frank) Young was passed fit for duty with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR) in March 1942. For the first year he undertook training in Cornwall and Heaton Park before sailing on the Queen Mary to Canada to further train as a pilot, qualifying on April 21st 1944. He then transferred to the Fleet Air Arm with the rank of Sub Lieutenant. Frank was to spend the remainder of the war flying a variety of planes, mainly Supermarine Seafires (the Naval version of the Spitfire) with 894 Squadron, from aircraft carriers, and was in the Pacific when the atomic bombs were dropped in August 1945. He was demobilised in 1946 but obviously missed flying as he re-joined the RAFVR in 1947. He was to spend the next 16 years with them before finally retiring from the service in August 1966. However, even then Frank’s association with the RAF was far from over and he went on to be headmaster of the RAF Grammar school in Changi, Singapore. Upon returning to the UK he became headmaster of Bridgnorth Grammar School before finally retiring to Sidmouth. The lot includes a formidably complete archive of Flt Lt Young’s life and service, including his flying logbook, wings, helmet, incredible private photographs of deck landings (and accidents) on aircraft carriers and correspondence to him whilst he was in Singapore.

George V Royal Navy Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, awarded to 193563 PO CL2 W Steven HM Coastguard. William Stephens was born on June 27, 1863 in Pembrokeshire, Wales. He was living in Port Tennant Road in the City of Swansea when he was discharged from the Navy on March 18, 1919, suffering from bronchitis and rheumatism. Prior to this he had served in the Royal Navy since May 1897, first at HMS Collingwood (shore establishment) and then as a Coastguard around the coast of Wales and Cornwall. He was pensioned in 1907 but re-joined the Royal Navy during World War I, serving at HMS Vivid I and HMS Impregnable (both shore bases) until his discharge. The UK, Naval Medal and Award Rolls 1793-1972 seem to indicate entitlement to a British War Medal for World War I service but there is no immediate indication of any overseas service.
