WWII Second World War Medal Group - 8268 Lieutenant Willem Aaron Van Heerden of Prince Alfred's Guard, South African Army - Field Force Battalion - an incredible WWII Second World War medal group awarded to Van Heerden, comprising his Military Cross (engraved '1942' to verso), 1939-45 Star (impressed '8268 WA Van Heerden'), The Africa Star (Impressed '8268 WA Van Heerden), The Italy Star (impressed 8268 WA Van Heerden), War Medal (replacement, unimpressed) and Africa Service Medal (replacement, unimpressed). All with original ribbons. Supplied with an archive of paperwork including copies of his Record Of Service, Discharge Certificate, a copy of his Citation, various copies of extracts from books etc. An impressive medal group and citation. The citation reads, in part; '...For gallant and distinguished services whilst under heavy enemy fire. On the night of 23/24 October 1942 in an attack on the enemy main defences, Lieut Van Heerden led his platoon into action in the face of heavy Mortar and MG Fire. Whilst crossing the enemy minefield his platoon suffered many casualties, he himself being wounded. With the few remaining men of his platoon, he led a bayonet charge on a German strongpoint, surrounded by wire, booby-traps and AP mines. Running ahead of his men, he led the attack with such vigour and dash that a Mortar posn and an MG nest were captured, the German crews killed, and an officer and 9 OR's taken prisoner. During the charge he received two further wounds and his Platoon was reduced to four men, but despite his wounds he personally organised the evacuation of his own wounded men and 10 of the German prisoners. The conspicuous gallantry, dash, and determination display by this officer during the assault on the strongpoint were largely responsible for the killing and wounding of the Mortar and MG crews, and the capture of 10 prisoners'. 

LGW 402K - 1972 MGB GT - 1798cc - an icon of motoring; the classic MGB GT was first released in 1962 and was an instant success. This example coming from a deceased estate of eight-year ownership. This car is very original with original paint, engine and chrome accessories present. Powered by a 1798cc MG engine in good working order. This example being Tax and MOT exempt. Described as the late owner's ' pride and joy ' the car enjoyed many happy years of motoring, and likely only requires light re-commissioning to return to its former glory. It's last voluntary MOT expired in 2018. It has been regularly started but sat for a number of months. The engine starts exactly as it should, and appears to run well. Brakes work but appear to need some attention, and the carburettor could use a service. The brown vinyl interior appears complete, and still retains the original steering wheel and wooden gear knob. An honest and affordable classic, that requires only light re-commissioning. Additional information added 13/08/20 at 11:34am - a large box of paperwork relating to the vehicle has now been uncovered and is included within the sale. This includes the V5C, lots of old MOT's and insurance documents, a parts catalogue, photographs of the car and a spare set of keys.

The car to have in 1960, quintessentially British and Jean Shrimpton prettyFinished in Old English White with silver wires and a smart red interiorOlder restoration retaining a good shine. Superb panel fit throughout1588cc B-Series producing 80bhp and offering 0-60 in 13 seconds and 96mphRack and pinion steering, Dunlop hydraulic front disc brakesStill retains its initial registration number 2650 RFRecent inspection and freshly issued MOT certificate with no advisoriesYour earliest inspection is encouraged and welcomedWhen the MGA arrived in 1955, it must have come as quite a shock to MG aficionados who had become accustomed to the pre-war look of the company's sports cars. It was a complete departure in styling and its beautiful streamlined body was right up to the minute in terms of appearance. It was powered by a new engine; MG had decided that the old XPAG unit had had its day and so introduced the much more modern B Series engine that had made its debut in the recently announced Magnette saloon. The 'A' was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955. In 1959, MG released the 1600 model featuring a larger 1588cc engine, disc brakes at the front and rigid framed side screens with sliding windows. Rolling off the production line during the first quarter of 1960, this Abingdon-produced 1600 MGA Coupe was originally finished in Chariot Red complemented by the optional painted wire wheels. Clearly used as an everyday car in period, the time would eventually come when a little TLC was required. Completed some years ago, 2650 RF (its original registration number) was treated to a sympathetic restoration and a colour change to Old English White but retaining the red interior albeit retrimmed to suit. A conversion to a single 12v battery rather than two 6v batteries was also implemented. The silver painted wire wheels remain, as does the factory-supplied steering wheel, with the only new addition being an attractive stainless steel boot rack. Now nicely settled in, the Coupe has an air of originality and does not appear to be too factory fresh or overly restored, simply a very pleasant and mellowed MGA. With Coupe values now closely following the Roadster, this smart little MG is worth a look and with the 1600cc engine and front disc brakes fitted as standard, this is one 60s sports car that is very useable in today's traffic. It has recently been inspected and a new MOT Certificate issued without advisories.Seriously pretty and quintessentially British, MGAs offer real driving pleasure on the open road and make great entries into local rallies and club events.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

Impressively restored, post-war T-Series Midget fitted with desirable upgrades.A left-hand drive, California car that returned to the UK in 2011Thoroughly restored; chassis stripped and rebuilt, bare metal respray, new wiring loom, seats and brightwork, new leather interior, superior carpet set, new side screens and soft top, short tonneau coverEngine bored out to 1380cc and fully balanced. Fitted with a fully rebuilt, 5-speed, Ford Type-9 gearboxDocumentation from the USA including receipts for repairs and maintenance, along with UK MOTs, a multitude of invoices from the restoration, a memory stick of images of the car and a current V5cThere is no point in being modest, this is one of the best T-Series restorations that we have ever seenThe penultimate T-Series Midget, the TD, appeared in 1949. A continuation of the 1930s designed TC, The TD heralded some well-received post-war refinements; independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering, steel wheels, and the availability of left-hand drive, made the TD an appealing motorcar for the export market. When production of the TD finished in 1953 it's reported that all but around 1,650 of the 30,000 cars produced were exported, with 23,000 or so heading to the USA alone, this very car amongst them.Supplied originally to California this lovely MGTD was used as a daily driver for the first 70,000 miles of its life before returning home in 2011. It then underwent a thorough restoration by its previous custodian; chassis stripped and rebuilt, bare metal respray, new wiring loom, seats and brightwork, engine bored out to 1380cc and fully balanced, fitted with a fully rebuilt, 5-speed, Ford Type-9 gearbox, new leather interior, superior carpet set, new side screens and soft top, short tonneau cover.After being purchased by its current owner, the car has been driven sparingly and stored indoors undercover and we understand that the little MG starts, runs and drives very nicely indeed.The generous history file shows documentation from the USA including receipts for repairs and maintenance, along with UK MOTs, a multitude of invoices from the restoration, a memory stick of images of the car and a current V5 certificate.A superbly presented example in MG-Red with a Biscuit leather interior, this lovely 1953 MGTD is primed and ready for adventure.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveA wonderfully cherished example with just 72,915 miles from newOnly four previous owners, one owner from 1972 until 2001Remarkably original. Wonderful, gently-patinated interiorAttractively finished in Admiralty Blue with a Silver Birch Roof and Rostyle wheelsConsidering the design is over 50 years old, these cars still turn headsIn 1965, Rover's Managing Director, William Martin-Hurst, secured the tooling and production rights to the 3528cc all-alloy OHV V8 '215' engine from Buick and, after a period of development, it was ready for use in Rover's model range. Although a marriage of expediency, the union between Rover's stately P5 and the ex-Buick V8 resulted in an unexpectedly fine motorcar. The new aluminium V8 was significantly lighter and considerably more powerful than its predecessor, delivering 160bhp and a massive leap in torque to 210 lbs/ft. at 2600rpm, vastly improving pace, comfort, balance, handling, economy and reliability.Launched in 1967, the Rover P5B (or P5 Buick if you prefer) was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and Coupe guises, both of which employed four doors, the big Rover was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc /drum brakes. Fitted with three-speed automatic transmission and power-assisted steering as standard, it proved a relaxing drive although capable of a comfortable 115mph. The exterior was mostly unchanged, apart from bold '3.5 Litre' badging, a pair of fog lights which were added below the headlights, creating a striking four-light array and the fitting of chrome Rostyle wheels with black painted inserts. The svelte Coupe had a slightly lower roof-line, slimmer chromed window surrounds, twin-armchair rear seats and additional dash instruments, and is the most collectable variant today.Well-appointed in the best Rover tradition, the P5B's 'Gentlemen's Club' interior made it a firm favourite with businessmen, politicians (Harold Wilson's car was reputed to have a pipe rack in the back) and even HM The Queen who apparently still owns her Arden Green Saloon. Production lasted until 1973 by which time 9,099 Coupés and 11,501 Saloons had been built.HPX 301H was first registered on 01/06/1970 and was finished in Admiralty Blue with a Silver Birch Roof and a Cream leather interior. It may have remained with the dealer for a period of time as its first registered owner was Trevor Tiffin Nash who acquired this 3.5-Litre Coupe on 12/04/1972 from Boorers Garage in Broadwater with the original Bill of Sale for £1,750 in the owner's file. Boorers were, in fact, the Rover agents and, somewhat poignantly, within the file is a small faded advert cut from the Sussex Argus and dated 07/04/1972 for this car (£1,895) clipped to a copy of the same paper's obituary of Mr Tiffin on 7/01/2008. He had, in fact, sold the car to Charles Regan on 9/02/2001 who also became a long-term owner, passing it on to Owen Lavington on 13/09/2017.The history file is huge with well over 100 invoices for maintenance, routine repairs etc. with only two larger invoices obvious, one for a gearbox rebuild in May 1981 and one for new sills and inner and outer arches dated January 2008. The file also contains lots of MOTs, SORN notifications from 2004 to 2014 and V5s etc. There is a plastic wallet containing the original Owner's Operating Manual, Owner's Instruction Manual and the stamped service record which starts at 1,579 miles on 29/06/70 and finishes on the last page at 40,700 miles on 8/05/83.It appears that HPX has never been restored and is all the better for it. The Admiralty Blue paintwork still shines, the brightwork is excellent and the Rostyle wheels look crisp. The Rover's cream interior certainly feels original with that cosy lived-in feel often present in a much-loved family car, and the car simply 'stands well'.The mileage of 72,915 appears to be corroborated by the car's MOT and Service history and we understand that it runs and drives superbly. The P5B is a go-anywhere, welcome-anywhere kind of 'Classic' and, unlike an old MG, you don't have to don seven layers of clothing to go to an event. In period, these big Coupes were head-turners and were perceived to belong to comfortably off owners who appreciated quality and had a certain sense of style, and basically, nothing has changed. This lovely Rover is only available as our inveterate collector vendor has found one with even lower mileage.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A rare, mid-1957, 3/3A transition car in lovely condition.Rare transition car with factory-fitted TR3 and 3A partsOriginally in left-hand drive and destined for North America finished in Pearl WhiteReturned to the UK in 1995 and was selected in 2003 as an ideal base for a full restorationStripped back to bare metal, converted to right-hand drive and restoredParticular attention was paid to panel gaps and shut linesFully painted in Signal Red and the interior retrimmed in red-piped blackFully detailed engine bay with a chromed rocker cover and polished dashpotsChrome wires, chrome headlight grilles, sill guards, wind-deflectors, wood rim wheelNow presents superbly with the quality of the restoration much in evidenceLong famed for their rugged reliability and idiosyncratic good looks, the 'side screen' TRs have attracted a fanatical following over the years. The final evolution of the Triumph TR2/TR3 sportscar line (save for the American market TR3B), the TR3A was introduced in September 1957. Great fun to drive, its tough box-section chassis featured independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes. (The first British production car to have front disc brakes as standard). Fitted with a 1991cc four-cylinder OHV unit developing around 104bhp and 117lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of 110mph. A great sales success on both sides of the Atlantic, the model provided a rather more visceral alternative to its MG and Jaguar competition.Arriving in 1957, the TR3A was never officially badged as such and was, in fact, a minor revision of the TR3 with updates including a new wide grille, exterior door handles, lockable boot and a full tool kit. Offered here as part of The Anthony Hamilton Collection is a charming Triumph TR3A finished in Signal Red with black trim. The commission number confirms this car was produced in the late summer of 1957 and this was a 'change over' period for Standard-Triumph when many parts from the earlier TR3 were still in stock and were incorporated into the revised TR3A. This explains why this car is fitted with a TR3 front apron with the smaller grille, however, it does have the 3A's external door handles. It was originally in left-hand drive and was destined for the North American market finished in Pearl White. It returned to the UK, we believe, in 1995 and was selected in 2003 as it was a particularly sound, ex-California car, as an ideal base for a full restoration.It was stripped back to bare metal, converted to right-hand drive and restored paying particular attention to panel gaps and shut lines before being fully painted in Signal Red, the interior retrimmed in red-piped black and all the brightwork refinished. The engine bay was fully detailed and is an absolute delight with a chromed rocker cover and polished dashpots. Sitting on a set of new chrome wires and with its chrome headlight grilles, stainless sill guards, wind-deflectors, wood rim wheel and white hood and tonneau, the little Triumph presents superbly with the quality of the restoration much in evidence.The owner's file contains various invoices for service and maintenance keeping this striking TR in the best mechanical condition. No history of British Sports cars would be complete without the venerable TR3 and a rare transition car (3/3A) in this super condition will always be eminently collectable.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A superbly restored Twin Cam Roadster that would be welcome anywhere.One of only 2,111 MGA Twin Cams produced1588cc with a light-alloy head producing 108bhp at 6,700rpmDespatched in late December 1958 to Northern America in left-hand driveReturned home in 2014. Superbly restored and converted to right-hand driveVery smart in gleaming BMC Black with a classic red leather interiorGood history file with a full photographic account of the restorationCoaxing more power from the standard MGA engine was becoming increasingly difficult, so MG concentrated on developing a twin-overhead-camshaft cylinder head for the B-Series block. Conceived at Cowley by BMC engineer Gerald Palmer and introduced in 1958, the new 1,588cc engine did not disappoint. It featured a special light alloy cross-flow cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chambers and carried twin overhead camshafts with valve operation via Coventry Climax-style inverted bucket tappets, producing an impressive 108bhp at 6,700rpm. Considerably faster than the standard MGA, the Twin Cam could comfortably exceed 110mph, and to cope with the increased performance Dunlop disc brakes were fitted all round and Dunlop centre-lock wheels were a distinctive addition. The only other visual identifier was the script 'Twin Cam' near the vent aside the bonnet. A high price and an unjustified reputation for unreliability discouraged sales and the model was dropped after just two years. Production totalled 2,111 cars, a mere 360 of which were sold on the home market, and today the Twin-Cam is one of the most sought-after of post-war MG sports cars. Offered here is undoubtedly one the finest restored MGA Twin Cams available anywhere today. Finished in what can only be described as the most stunning combination of Black coachwork (BMC code BKI) with a red leather interior. It was despatched on 30/12/1958 to Northern America in left-hand drive finished in black with a green interior with the factory options of disc wheels and heater. It returned to the UK in 2014 when a full restoration was started by the new owner and converted to right-hand drive. The history file contains a full photographic account of the restoration accompanied by all the invoices and details of the specialised engine parts. The result is a spectacular Twin-Cam Roadster that fires up instantly with a pleasing raspy engine note and performs impeccably.We cannot eulogise enough about the quality of this stunning MGA Twin Cam that would be admired at any event in the world. These rare cars are now recognised as real classics that drive very well and deservedly have a niche in the MG history book. This lovely example is now ready to begin the next chapter of its life.

One of only seven, Freddie March-designed, Wolsley Hornet Specials.Based on Wolseley's redesigned and extended 1930 Morris Minor chassisPowered by a 1271cc overhead-camshaft, twin-carb, six-cylinder engineFitted with a John Charles of Kew bespoke body designed by Freddie MarchSubject to a full, no expense spared, restoration including an engine rebuildSuperbly restored, delightfully presented and real provenanceAlthough its image in later years became ever more difficult to distinguish from that of other makes within the British Motor Corporation, in the early 1930s Wolseley occupied the front rank of British sports cars alongside MG, Riley and Frazer Nash. The single model responsible was the Wolseley Hornet.Introduced in 1930, the Hornet saloon deployed Wolseley's 1271cc overhead-camshaft, six-cylinder engine in a lengthened Morris Minor chassis equipped with hydraulic brakes. Its power-to-weight ratio was exceptional amongst contemporary 1.3-litre cars, the smooth and flexible six pulling from walking pace to more than 60mph. The model was revised for 1932 with a shortened, chain-driven overhead-cam engine (repositioned further forward to improve cabin space) and a four-speed 'silent third' gearbox.Increased performance was offered by the Hornet Special chassis, which came with 12" hydraulic brakes and remote-control gearchange. The Special used the shortened engine equipped with twin-carburettors and an oil cooler, in which form it produced 45bhp, good enough for a top speed, depending on coachwork, of around 75mph. The Special chassis rapidly became that of choice for the multitude of independent coachbuilders already using the Hornet as the basis for a sporting two-seater.The Hornet Special was soon making its mark in competitions, one noteworthy achievement being the victory achieved by a team of three Eustace Watkins-bodied Hornets (two EW Daytonas on the Special chassis, one EW International on the standard chassis) in the 1932 relay race at Brooklands at an average speed of 77.57mph.Kevill-Davis and March Ltd. of Bruton Street, Mayfair marketed a number of Wolseley Hornet 'specials' from early 1932 onwards and one of the most successful was a pretty little open two-seater, as we have here, with a body supplied by the coachbuilder John Charles of Kew to a design by Freddie March. There is a strong claim that these March-designed bodies were the first to feature fully swept front wings, a styling cue that was to become a design hallmark of British thirties sports carsOffered here from The Anthony Hamilton collection, a Hornet enthusiast himself, is a beautifully presented example of one of the seven March-bodied 'Specials'. This fabulous little car has been subject to a full, no expense spared, restoration including an engine overhaul with the larger stud modification. The engine bay is an absolute delight with vitreous enamelled manifolds, fully rebuilt carburettors, a chromed rocker cover and new wiring loom. Every part was either properly refurbished or replaced. The small cockpit (by today's standards) is dominated by a large sprung Bluemels steering wheel and a 100mph speedometer and a 6,000 rpm tachometer (both a tad optimistic for 1932) feature prominently. There is a small brass plate on the dash displaying Kevill-Davies and March. The rest of the car appears to have been restored to the same standard and the overall result is a very striking Hornet with a beautiful raspy engine note only available from a small capacity six-cylinder.This is one of the best looking of the 'Hornet Specials' and would have turned a few heads when Frederick Charles Gordon-Lennox, Earl of March and Hugh Somerset Kevill-Davies popped out to lunch in Mayfair in their newly created special. Superbly restored, it will continue to provide all the fun of a Thirties sports car with the added cachet of Lord March and Anthony Hamilton provenance.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.
