Römische Abteilung, vol. 111, 2004, p. 276 Note: The present lot once supported an ancient lid carved in front with a hunting scene flanked by two theatre masks. See engraving. The lid was offered as lot 7 in the 1801 auction of the Bessborough Collection, where it was purchased by Henry Blundell for his collection at Ince. It is now in the Merseyside County Museum in Liverpool (B. Ashmole, A catalogue of the ancient marbles at Ince Blundel Hall, New York, 1929, p. 111, no. 307, pl. 48; B. Andreae, Sarkophage mit Darstellungen aus dem Menschenleben. Die römischen Jagdsarkophage [Die antiken Sarkophagreliefs, vol. I, 2], Berlin, 1980, no. 37). The sarcophagus itself was not included in the sale and remained at Roehampton and was subsequently moved to Ashby Folville Manor, Leicestershire where it was included in a contents sale by Heathcote Ball & Co. on 15th March 1984 lot 117 where it was erroneously catalogued with a Stowe provenance. An original catalogue of this sale is included with the lot. The sarcophagus was probably carved to order in the 18th Century, as a means to support and enhance what seems to have been generally recognized at the time as an unusually finely decorated lid (see Blundell, op. cit, 1803: |the best piece of sculpture known to exist on that kind of monument. At the sale it was much recommended by the virtuosi, and had many competitors for it|). The funerary inscription is also an 18th Century creation. It refers to the deceased as a hunter (venator), thus establishing a connection between the modern sarcophagus and the ancient lid. The function of the inscription, just like that of the sarcophagus on which it was engraved, was |to enhance the marble [lid]’s antiquarian and monetary value| (Angelicoussis, op. cit., 2004).

1984 Audi Quattro - The subject of twenty-seven articles in Audi Driver magazine whilst owned by Paul Harris - Engine overhauled by John Reade complete with gas-flowed cylinder head, AET hybrid turbocharger and Karl Schmidt pistons - 104,700 recorded miles (accompanying service book carries stamps up to 90,000 miles) - Fettled by acknowledged specialists including Dialynx and so able to boast Koni adjustable dampers, Quattro MB-series twin-pot front brake callipers, Cargraphic stainless steel performance exhaust system and recent Toyo Proxes T1-R tyres Brainchild of Audi chassis engineer Jorg Bensinger and developed by a team of just twelve including Walther Treser, the 'Ur' (or original) Quattro was launched on March 4th 1980. Capable of humbling many a contemporaneous supercar thanks to its ingenious permanent four-wheel drive system and powerful turbocharged five-cylinder 2144cc engine, the newcomer was handbuilt by a dedicated team in Hall N2 at Audi's Ingolstadt factory. Progressively developed until production ceased in March 1991, most of the 11,452 cars completed were to left-hand drive specification. Supplied new to the Supertyres Motorist Centre Ltd of Welwyn Garden City, this particular example boasts service stamps up to 90,624 miles and a current odometer reading of 104,700. Professionally repainted in Pearlescent White, the Quattro also had its original engine extensively refurbished and lightly breathed upon by John Reade (an ex-Audi engineer who supplied powerplants for the David Sutton rally team) who gas flowed the cylinder head, installed Karl Schmidt pistons and an AET hybrid turbocharger prior to entering Paul Harris's ownership in 2004. The editor and publisher of Audi Driver magazine, Mr Harris dedicated no fewer than twenty-seven articles to 'B73 VTM' and its ongoing improvement. As well as keeping a personal diary of maintenance and fuel consumption, he entrusted the rally-bred Coupe to specialists such as Dialynx Performance Ltd so that it could be upgraded with a Cargraphic stainless steel exhaust system, Koni adjustable dampers, Quattro MB-series twin-pot front brake callipers and Toyo Proxes T1-R tyres. A familiar sight on Guild of Motoring Writers' events, the Audi was sold by Mrs Harris following her husband's death in 2015. Sparingly used as part of a private collection since then, 'B73 VTM' is offered for sale with a V5C Registration Document, fresh MOT certificate, original Service Schedule booklet, workshop manual, sundry invoices / receipts and the relevant issues of Audi Driver magazine.

1956 Bentley S1 Continental Fastback - Entered from a private collection and current ownership since 1984 - Supplied new to James Douglas Alston CBE of South Lopham Hall, Norfolk by Jack Barclay Ltd and later the property of the actor Patrick Allen - 1 of just 119 S1 Continental chassis bodied to design number 7400 by H.J. Mulliner - Extensive period service history with Jack Barclay Ltd Allocated design number 7400, the two-door all-aluminium Fastback coachwork which H.J. Mulliner crafted for the Bentley S1 Continental chassis was decidedly rarer than that fitted to its R-Type predecessor. Stylistically more reserved but still "flowing and purposeful and free from any needless excrescence", the newcomer was not only underpinned by a notably stiffer chassis (up fifty percent in terms of torsional rigidity) but also boasted a smaller turning circle, more compliant suspension and improved hydraulic brakes. Typically allied to four-speed automatic transmission, its refined 4887cc OISE straight-six engine yielded a 120mph top speed and impressive acceleration. Arguably the ultimate Bentley S1 Continental variant, the H.J. Mulliner Fastback was among the very fastest and most glamorous four-seaters of its generation. According to its accompanying copy chassis cards, this particular example - chassis BC94AF - was supplied new via Jack Barclay Ltd and Mann Egerton & Co Ltd to James Douglas Alston CBE of South Lopham Hall, Diss, Norfolk (a gentleman farmer and former deputy Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk whose business interests extended to Norwich City Football Club). Clothed by H.J. Mulliner with body number 5888, the Bentley was initially road registered as 'SYE 545' on 5th July 1956 and finished in Tartan Green with Champagne leather upholstery. Purchased from Jack Barclay Ltd by A.J. Koenen Esq. - a London-based wine merchant - some three years and 38,000 miles later, the Fastback passed to its third keeper the renowned stage and screen actor Patrick Allen Esq during February 1966. Re-registered as 'PKA 999' during his tenure which copy Jack Barclay Ltd invoices show lasted well into the 1970s, chassis BC94AF is then known to have passed through the hands of Bertram Cowen Ltd, Kevin Dolan Esq. and Nicholas Hart Esq. before entering the current ownership on October 1st 1984 (purchase invoice on file). Assorted old MOT certificates suggest that the Bentley has covered just 10,000 or so miles over the last thirty-two years. Part of an impressive private collection during that time (and stabled alongside its sibling BC90AF for several decades), the luxurious four-seater sports saloon has nevertheless been treated to an engine overhaul by Arthur Archer of Dunmow: new piston rings, bearings, valve guides, gaskets etc (1987, c.5,000 miles ago), replacement woolcloth headlining (2000), front suspension refurbishment (2006), new windscreen (2009), fresh exhaust system (2012) and rejuvenated wood veneers (2016) plus attention to its ignition system and brakes etc. Pleasingly thought to retain its original Champagne leather upholstery, the Fastback had already been repainted Dark Blue when Mr Dolan displayed it at the RREC's South of England Rally on 8th May 1983. Awarded 2nd Place in the Best Visiting Classic Class at the Jaguar Drivers' Club's East Anglian Concours d'Elegance Meeting some twenty-four years later, the Bentley remains a very imposing and presentable motorcar. Performing well on a recent 100-mile journey to Brighton and back, this decidedly rare S1 Continental H.J. Mulliner Fastback - 1 of just 119 - is accompanied by an original sales brochure, handbook and history file. Road registered as '352 UYU', the four-seater's most recent MOT certificate runs until 16th September 2017 and was issued to it with 'no advisories'. Post-War Bentleys rarely come more beautiful or collectable. H&H would like to thank Robert Lewis for kindly allowing us to use his grounds for photography purposes.
