Military General Service, 1793-1814, 5 clasps, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nive, Orthes, Toulouse (J. Eden, Lieut 71st Foot), once lightly cleaned, light marks in places, otherwise good very fine. Captain John Eden, J.P., D.L. (1794-1885) was born as John Methold in June 1794, the son of Captain Henry Methold, Durham Fencibles, of Burn Hall, Country Durham, and Dorothea Eden, the daughter of Sir John Eden (1740-1812), 4th Baronet, of Auckland, County Durham. He is believed to have been educated at Eton College and at Charterhouse School between 1806-1812, after which he joined the 71st Highland Light Infantry as an Ensign (without purchase) on 4 June 1812, being promoted to Lieutenant on 1 September 1813 – seeing service in Spain and France between April 1813 and April 1814. During the battle of Vittoria on 21st June 1813, the 71st Foot saw a good deal of fighting, suffering 318 casualties, killed or wounded. After a period of time on Half-Pay, he exchanged into the 4th Light Dragoons on 15 July 1819. He later became Captain, by purchase, in the 75th Foot (1st Gordon Highlanders), on 22 October 1824. Having apparently transferred again, he retired as Captain, this time from the 14th Light Dragoons, on 4 October 1829. In later life, and upon the death of one of his maternal uncle (Morton John Davison) in 1844 he inherited property at Beamish Park, County Durham, which required him to change his name by Royal Licence to John Eden as a condition of his inheritance. Taking on the properties at Beamish, he duly became involved the ownership and running of an important coal mine. He was made High Sheriff in 1849, and died without issue at 15 Wilton Crescent, London, on 4 April 1885, at the age of 91. Newspaper obituaries record that he was a notable local benefactor, whilst also adding that: ‘He was present at the Battle of Vittoria as an Ensign…In that battle the Captain and Lieutenant of Mr Eden’s company were killed, and would have shared a similar fate had it not been for a daring feat performed by a sergeant of his regiment, which was the means of saving his life. It is worthy of note that at the time of his death Mr Eden was one of the six survivors of the Peninsular war. He was also present after the battle of Waterloo at the entry into Paris in 1815.’ (The Durham County Advertiser, 10 April 1885 © The British Library Board). This confirmed 5 clasp medal is a unique entitlement to the regiment. The 3rd Baronet of Maryland, Sir Frederick Morton Eden (believed to be a relation), was killed at the age of 16, on 24 December 1814, in the ‘War of 1812’ (1812-15). He had been attached, as an Ensign, to 85th (Bucks Volunteer) Light Infantry, but was mortally wounded at the Battle of New Orleans. Ex Glendining, 1956, Spink, 1986, Bonham’s, June 1999 and C.J.

THE WESTWARD CUP - A LARGE HALLMARKED SILVER TROPHY CUP BY WALKER & HALL - SHEFFIELD 1930, having an engraving of a tall sailing boat to one side and to the other engraved 'WESTWARD CUP for International 6 metres presented by T.B.Davis commemorating his Schooner "Westward" first racing at Cannes March 1930, with typical twin handle form with large rectangular integral base, approx weight 3160g, H 47.5 cm¦ Note: Thomas Davis was born at Havre des Pas, St Helier, Jersey on 25 April 1867, the son of Thomas Leopold Davis, a fisherman and ship's carpenter.¦¦The Davis family lived at Havre des Pas he was educated at St Luke's Elementary School. His parents struggled to get the twopence a week they had to pay as a contribution to his education. Davis did not go on to higher education but instead went to sea as a ship's boy aged 15 on the vessel Satellite, a 245-ton three masted schooner owned by R & George Allix of Havre des Pas, In 1899 aged 32 Davis moved to South Africa, firstly to East London where he took up a stevedoring post. Finally settling in Durban he took over Brock and Company Stevedores. This formed the basis of his wealth as eventually he controlled all of the stevedoring business from Port Elizabeth to Dar-es-Salaam. Within 10 years of settling in South Africa Davis had made his fortune and continued to be interested in sailing after making his fortune. He owned several racing yachts, the most famous of which was the 135-foot (41 m) schooner Westward.¦¦Westward was built between 1909 and 1910 by Nathanael Herreshoff of the Herreschoff Manufacturing Company of Rhode Island for the New York industrialist Alexander Smith Cochran. She was constructed with an all-steel hull of LWL 97 feet (30 m), designed and built for speed. She was purchased soon after completion by a syndicate of German businessmen who renamed her Hamburg. She was sold back into American ownership after the Great War and resumed her original name. Davis acquired her in 1924. Between 1925 and 1935, Davis raced the Westward in British and European waters against renowned opponents such as Sir Thomas J. Lipton's 23mR Shamrock (1908) and George V of the United Kingdom's HMY Britannia I (1893). The Westward was a familiar entry for Cowes Week during this time. Over the years Davis and King George V developed a fierce though friendly rivalry.¦¦In 1936, following the death of the King, Davis more or less gave up racing. He had a motor fitted in Westward and used her for cruising. Westward was laid up in Dartmouth for the duration of the Second World War. She was offered to three training schools after the war but no one could afford to repair and maintain her. When no suitable owner could be found for his beloved Westward, in accordance with his wishes, she was loaded with dynamite and blown up in the Hurd Deep in the English Channel, at a memorial service on 15 July 1947.

The Gothic style was promoted by the influential architect and theorist Eugene-Emmanuel Viollet Le Duc. The Jeanselme firm was founded in 1834 and shortly afterwards acquired the renowned firm of Jacob-Desmalter. Jeanselme became one of the most important cabinetmakers in Paris as well as 'furnisher to the Crown' under Louis Philippe.

A very rare Caughley tea bowl in the 'Trench Mortar' pattern, circa 1790-98, unmarked, 8cm diameter (hairline) Provenance: Wright Collection no.582 purchased 1998 from S. Millington. Literature: This is the only piece of Caughley known to demonstrate this pattern, otherwise better known on hard-paste porcelain from the New Hall factory. A pull from a copper plate has recently been found in the Coalport Rag Book, confirming a Shropshire origin. The Rag Book is held at the Wedgwood Museum and contains patterns from both the Caughley and Coalport factories. The paste of this bowl together with the nature of the potting and the foot-rim suggest a Caughley rather than Coalport origin, although some remain sceptical of this attribution.' The Caughley Society, Caughley Blue and White Patterns, p.183 has a full page illustration and discussion of this tea bowl.

Princess Diana's Arabella Pollen silk ensemble, worn for an Official Royal visit to Adelaide, 5th April, 1983, labelled, 'Pollen London', in caramel, white and primrose stripes, comprising: loose jacket with self-covered buttons, horizontally striped patch pockets, pleated silk skirt and cummerbund tie sash, chest approx 97cm, 38in, waist 74cm, 29in; together with a letter of provenance (4)Provenance: The dress was given to the vendor who worked as a nanny for a well-connected family from Northamptonshire who were good friends of 'Fergie' as she was affectionately known - Sarah, Duchess of York. She was a regular visitor and on one occasion also brought with her to dinner HRH the Prince and Princess of Wales. Princess Diana and the Duchess of York each donated two dresses to the vendor's employer to sell for charity. But on Christmas morning 1987, to the vendor's delight she was given this striped silk ensemble as a surprise present as she was such a huge fan of the Princess. It has remained in her possession ever since.Princess Diana wore this ensemble on the first day the Royal tour of South Australia, worn with a straw boater and a blouse with ruff collar which had become synonymous with the 'Lady Di' style.The Royal couple were taken to the Adelaide Town Hall where they were treated to a State Reception followed by a trip to the Community Centre to watch a keep fit class amongst other pursuits, which were recorded on newsreels of the day.Princess Diana seemed smiling and self-assured, but later admitted that she found the first few days of the Australian tour traumatic. Although she disguised it well, the Princess was feeling unwell, believed she looked 'too thin' and found it difficult to cope with the sweltering temperatures. She also keenly felt the separation from young Prince William to whom Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser, had thoughtfully extended the invitation. However massive crowds and 95 degree temperatures made it unsuitable. Still at the crawling stage, Prince William was safely ensconced with his nanny at Woomargama, a 4000 acre sheep station in New South Wales which Prince Charles and Princess Diana visited as often as they could amid their hectic schedule but at least Diana knew he was under the same sky. With a population of 17 million, over a 1 million Australians turned up in person to greet the couple on their four-week tour. But everywhere they went, the crowds clamoured for the Princess and complained when Prince Charles went over to their side of the street on a walkabout, much to his obvious displeasure.However, the success of this gruelling tour marked a turning point in Diana's Royal life. Andrew Morton, in 'Diana Her True Story - In Her Own Words', p142, wrote:'She went out a girl, she returned home a woman...(the Australian trip) signalled the slow resurrection of her inner spirit'The international press complained that Diana was often dressed more like a dowager than a young Princess. US fashion critic Mr Blackwell, put the Princess at the top of his Worst Dressed List, stating she had gone from 'a very young, independent, fresh look' to a 'tacky, dowdy' style. However, the loose flowing lines of this ensemble made it cool, practical and drew attention away from her slender form. CONDITION REPORT: Waistline on the skirt has been widened, otherwise good condition.

Charles F. Zimpel (Prussian/American, 1801-1879), "Topographical Map of New Orleans and its Vicinity, Embracing a distance of twelve miles up and eight and three quarter miles down the Mississippi River and Part of Lake Pontchartrain, representing all Public Improvements existing and projected and important Establishments, accompanied by A Statistical Table, containing the most accurate Illustrations; prefaced by A Splendid View of New Orleans, & Compiled from actual surveys and the best authorities, by Chas. F. Ximpel, Deputy City Surveyor of New Orleans, Chief Engineer of the New Orleans & Carrollton Rail Road Company and late Engineer in the Prussian Service, Scale six inches to the mile, New Orleans March 1834", lithograph, on six sheets, original folio, vignettes showing: Orleans Cotton Press Co., City Hotel, Levee Steam Cotton Press, City Hall (Cabildo), St. Louis Cathedral, Presbytere, Bank of the Canal and Banking Co., City House and Market of the City of Lafayette, Bank of New Orleans, Union Bank, American Theater, Sugar Refinery, Charity Hospital, State House, "Defeat of the British Army...", "Plan of the Banks of the Mississippi and Adjacent Country...", and "Mouth of the Mississippi at the South West Pass", six sheets (combined) 63 in. x 64 in. Note: Zimpel, Charles F. (Karl Frederick Zimpel) and the subject map are best summarized in Ellen Merrill’s Germans of Louisiana. Pelican Publishing Company, Inc. 2005: “Zimpel was a young Prussian aristocrat who soon established a lucrative career in the city as a surveyor, engineer, and architect. His tastes were mainly classical, in keeping with the style in vogue in both Europe and America. He was highly successful in those areas in which he was trained and, for a short time, became deputy surveyor and chief engineer for the city. In 1833 he laid out and developed the City of Carrollton. Perhaps his most important achievement was the detailed map of New Orleans he produced in 1834. Dissatisfied with the quality produced by the lithographers in New Orleans, he sent his original drawing back to Germany. On the return trip the lithographic stone and reproductions were lost at sea, making the Zimpel map a collector’s item. As chief engineer of the New Orleans and Carrollton Railway, which ran from Canal Street to Carrollton Avenue along Nayades Street (now St. Charles Avenue), he got involved in land speculation. Having little experience in this area, he soon fell into debt and fled the city. After only seven years of working in New Orleans, he returned to his native Prussia.” Zimpel also designed and oversaw construction of several important buildings in New Orleans during his tenure here, three of which are shown in vignettes above his map: the Bank of New Orleans, City Hotel, and the Orleans Cotton Press. Only six copies of the Zimpel map have been located, five of which are housed in institutional collections.

Provenance: Colonel William and Catherine Balfour, Homewood Plantation, Natchez, MS. Note: The monumental tester bed in the lot shown here belonged to Colonel William and Catherine Balfour and was used in their palatial Greek Revival mansion at Homewood Plantation in Natchez, Mississippi. Homewood was built in 1860 as a wedding gift to Colonel William and Catherine Balfour from Catherine’s father, David Hunt, a wealthy planter. Similar to many Natchez homes during this period, such as Lansdowne and Stanton Hall, Homewood was decorated with Rococo furniture from the workshop of New Orleans cabinetmaker Prudent Mallard. The overall design and specific aspects of this historic bed can be referenced to known Mallard examples, especially the bed’s serpentine head board and the robust foliate and shell-carved accents.

1970 Morris Minor 1000 Saloon- Part of the Old Hall collection since July 1977 and just one previous keeper shown on its V5C Reg Doc- Used by the vendor's children to learn to drive and as shared 'weekend wheels'- Understood to have covered just 42,900 miles from new and MOT'd till Oct 2018Debuting alongside Jaguar's superbly glamorous XK120 at the 1948 London Motor Show, the Morris Minor was somewhat overshadowed. An exceptionally advanced design, the Minor was the brainchild of Sir Alec Issigonis. With a monocoque chassis, independent torsion-bar front suspension, all-round hydraulic drum brakes and rack and pinion steering the model possessed excellent handling but lacked the horsepower to exploit it. However, things improved markedly when the four-cylinder 1098cc OHV A-series equipped Series V was introduced in 1962. With up to 45bhp and 60lbft of torque being transmitted to its rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox, the Series V was capable of some 77mph.Reputedly first owned by Mrs Nellie Baldwin of Thirsk - the sole previous keeper listed on its V5C Registration Document - this particular example has formed part of the Old Hall collection since July 1977. Used by the vendor's children to learn to drive and as shared 'weekend wheels', the Morris is understood to have covered just 42,900 miles from new. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until October 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

Designed in-house by Spen King, David Bache and Gordon Bashford, the newcomer featured a pontoon chassis, pushrod independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Winner of the first European Car of the Year Award in four-cylinder guise, the P6 could be had with 3.5-litre V8 power from 1968. Equipped with three-speed automatic transmission as standard, Motor magazine found the Rover 3500 capable of 0-60mph in 9.5 seconds and 117mph. Launched in 1970, MKII variants had boot-mounted batteries, power bulge bonnets and revised rear lights.In the current family ownership since new and part of the Old Hall collection for decades, this particular example is understood to have covered just 45,000 miles from new. Pleasingly retaining its original Black leather upholstery which would benefit from re-stitching in places, the Rover has been repainted Red in the past. Taken off the road in 2011, 'FWW 409L' was recently submitted for MOT testing but failed due to structural corrosion. Starting readily upon inspection, this 'one family owned' P6 3500 is surely worth reviving.

Exhaustively tested amidst the German coalfields, Sahara Desert and Artic Circle, the first workable prototype emerged during 1974. Entering production five years later, the G-Wagen began its metamorphosis from functional off-roader to luxury SUV in 1981 when niceties such as air-conditioning and automatic transmission joined the options list.

Based on a stretched wheelbase version of its Minor sibling's chassis (up from 6ft 6in to 7ft 7in), the newcomer also boasted a rear-mounted fuel tank, safety glass and hydraulic brakes. Faced with a marginal per unit profit margin and instances of oil leaking down the drive shaft from the camshaft bevel into the dynamo (a non-issue these days thanks to modern `O' rings), Morris dropped the Family Eight Saloon and Eight Sports Coupe after a single season during which they had accounted for just 4,488 sales. According to a letter on file from the Morris Register dated 17th November 1988 to then owner J. Thompson Esq of Huddersfield, `MU 3842' was one of only twenty-three Family Eight Saloons known to have survived. The same missive states: `The registration number series "MU" were specifically allocated by Middlesex to the main London Morris distributors, Stewart & Arden Ltd'. Still bearing a supplier's plaque for South London Motors Ltd, an accompanying continuation logbook suggests that the four-seater belonged to George Mileham Esq. of Mablethorpe, Lincs by 1935 and Ivan Pickering Esq. of Melton Mowbray, Leics some thirty-three years later. Subsequently owned by R.C. Schofield Esq. of Aldwark and S.E. Schofield Esq. of Thirsk, the Morris has formed part of the Old Hall collection since December 2011. Pleasingly powered by its factory-fitted OHC powerplant, the Family Eight also appears to retain much of its original Green leather upholstery. Starting readily during our recent photography session (October 2017), `MU 3842' benefits from a new fuel pump and fresh MOT certificate. Showing an unwarranted 38,250 miles to its odometer, this delightful Family Eight comes with a period Operation Manual and sundry paperwork.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1994 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit III- 1 of just 211 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit III Saloons made- Two previous keepers and 43,400 miles from new - Part of the Old Hall collection since January 2006 A square-cut, broad-shouldered design, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit was styled in-house by Fritz Feller. Introduced at the 1980 Paris Motor Show, it enjoyed notably greater road presence than its Silver Shadow predecessor as well as a thirty percent larger glass area. Thus, while it looked suitably imposing from the outside, internally it proved pleasantly airy. Although, based on the Shadow floorpan, the Spirit offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling. By combining copious amounts of sound deadening with the finest quality upholstery, Crewe's engineers kept intrusion from the 6.75 litre V8 engine to a muted hush. Unveiled at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Spirit II featured a sophisticated automatic ride control system that adapted to changing road conditions almost instantaneously, ergonomically enhanced `new look' dashboard, four-speed automatic transmission and standard-fit alloy wheels. Arriving in 1993, the Spirit III boasted more power thanks to redesigned cylinder heads and manifolding, airbags for both driver and front seat passenger and revised rear lights. Decidedly short lived, just 211 Spirit III saloons are thought to have been made.Finished in Racing Green with Spruce-piped Sandstone leather upholstery, chassis SCAZS02C4RCH54811 was supplied new via Henlys of Chester to John Fallows Esq. of Maghull, Liverpool. Purchased by Ron Pearlman Esq. of Structadene Ltd, London from dealer Ron Stratton of Knutsford on 17th July 1997 for £55,750, the Rolls-Royce showed some 22,500 miles to its odometer at the time. Some twenty years later the same instrument now displays some 43,400 miles. Forming part of the Old Hall collection since January 2006, the Silver Spirit III has been to marque specialist Prestige Services of Leeds for general maintenance and fettling. A three owner, low mileage example of one of the rarest Silver Spirit variants, this highly presentable luxury saloon is offered for sale with history file and MOT certificate valid until October 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

Lot 63

1958 Bentley S1 Saloon- Part of the Old Hall collection since 2012- Supplied new by H. Leverton & Co Ltd of Spalding to Derek Crouch Esq. of Peterborough- Original buff logbook and registration number, MOT'd till October 2018Typifying the growing economic confidence of the mid 1950s, the Bentley S1 was larger, faster and more boldly styled than its R-Type predecessor. Introduced in 1955, there was nothing average about its 'Standard Steel Saloon' bodywork. A masterclass in formal elegance, it was underpinned by a new cruciform-braced box-section chassis equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a twin SU carburettor fed 4887cc straight-six engine allied to standard-fit four-speed automatic transmission, the S1 could exceed 100mph. Once affectionately described as "a veritable country club on wheels", the model's inviting leather-and-wood trimmed cabin promised relaxation and contentment. Some 2,927 S1 Standard Steel Saloons were made prior to the arrival of the V8-powered S2 in 1959.According to its original buff logbook, this particular example - chassis B218FA - was supplied new via dealer H. Leverton & Co Ltd of Spalding to Derek Crouch Esq. of Peterborough on 15th July 1958. Belonging to Mr & Mrs Thesiger of Hyde Park Gardens, London W2 (1963-1975) and Mrs Veronica Davis of Beinling Ltd, Ilford, Essex (1975-?) thereafter, the Bentley was acquired by its previous keeper, Michael Betts Esq. of Wickford, Essex during 2011. Joining the Old Hall collection a year later, the S1 was treated to some £1,642.44 worth of fettling by marque specialist Prestige Services of Leeds during May 2016. As well as a new Olive West of England cloth headlining and other trim work, the Sports Saloon benefited from attention to its ignition, carburettors and seat belts plus an oil change. Pleasingly retaining its original registration number `MJL 57' and seemingly much of its factory-fitted Green leather upholstery, this appealing Bentley is offered for sale with a MOT certificate valid until October 2018 (plus old certificates dating back to 1974).PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

Lot 64

1932 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Park Ward Saloon- Part of the Old Hall collection since October 2005 and known as Lady Mary - Supplied new to Mrs D.K. Bland of Debden Manor, Saffron Walden, Essex and fitted with Park Ward Four-Light Saloon coachwork - Previous maintenance by West Hoathly Garage, David Haines, Alpine Eagle and Ristes and MOT'd till October 2018 Launched in 1929, the Rolls-Royce 20/25 was powered by a 3669cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Usefully faster than its 20hp predecessor, the model remained in production until 1936 by which time some 3,827 had been sold. Capable of supporting a wide variety of coachwork, the 20/25hp's substantial ladder frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and a mechanical servo. According to its accompanying copy RREC build records, this particular example - chassis GBT25 - was supplied new to Mrs D.K. Bland of Debden Manor, Saffron Walden, Essex on April 1st 1932. Allowed £125 for her 1925 Austin open car, she paid a further £1,450 for the Park Ward bodied Four-Light Saloon and kept it for fifteen years. Belonging to Bernard Patrick Cromie Esq (who had been awarded a Military Cross whilst serving with the Royal Field Artillery during WW1) and most likely others thereafter, the Rolls-Royce passed to its previous keeper, John Flannary Esq., on August 9th 1986. Entrusted to marque specialists West Hoathly Garage, David Haines & Sons Ltd and Alpine Eagle during Mr Flannary's tenure, the 20/25 was repainted in the 1990s as well as having attention paid to its Brown leather upholstery, clutch, carpets, brightwork and wheels etc. Rechristened `Lady Mary' upon joining the Old Hall collection during October 2005, there was a suggestion at the time from Alpine Eagle that `EV 5476' had had its `engine overhauled fairly recently' but no corresponding invoice. Treated to a front axle refurbishment and some steering and brake work by Ristes Motor Company Ltd in February 2007 at a cost of £8,513.75, the Rolls-Royce has predominantly been maintained in-house over the past decade. Starting readily during our recent photography session (October 2017) and appearing to be in `good overall' order, Lady Mary is offered for sale with history file and MOT certificate valid until October 2018.PLEASE NOTE: This lot started readily and ran well when we photographed it last month. However, the cap at the back of the magneto has gone missing and as such we have not had it running in the saleroom.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1966 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster- 1 of 863 right-hand drive Series 1 4.2 Roadsters made and warranted to have covered 49,000 miles from new - Purchased by Patrick Thornton of P & K Thornton Restorations 'Classic Jaguar Specialists' in 1986 and painstakingly refurbished before returning to the road in 2008 - 'Matching' chassis and engine numbers and original Carmen Red with Black livery - Implicated in the infamous 'one armed bandit murder' of 1967 which inspired the film 'Get Carter' - Referenced in the Mark Knopfler song '5:15am' from the album Shangri-La For many people, the E-Type remains the ultimate production Jaguar. A car whose heady blend of styling and performance were so exceptional at its 1961 Geneva Motor Show launch they continue to cast a smooth, elliptical shadow over the marque's new sports cars some 56 years later! Its Malcolm Sayer-penned lines are thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. Indeed, only a few years ago the Daily Telegraph ranked the E-Type top of the `100 most beautiful cars of all time' and, of course, none other than Enzo Ferrari beat them to it by many years when he similarly described it as `the most beautiful car ever made'. Like the XK150 before it, it was born of Jaguar's competition successes on the race tracks of Europe. Make no mistake, this was no ordinary motorcar - it was a true thoroughbred. Allied to a monocoque passenger cell, the model's tubular front sub-frame cradled a 3781cc DOHC straight-six engine, independent torsion-bar suspension and rack and pinion steering, while its back axle played host to a sophisticated coil-sprung set-up complete with inboard disc brakes. From birth, the E-Type was available either as a Fixed Head Coupe or two-seat Roadster. Among the very fastest cars of its generation, contemporary road tests found the newcomer to be capable of 0-60mph in circa 7 seconds and 150mph. Despite this, engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and electrical systems, plus more comfortable seats. A mere 863 right-hand drive E-Type Series 1 4.2 Roadsters were made prior to the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars in September 1967. According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Trace Certificate, this particular example - chassis 1E1482 - was manufactured on 11th February 1966. Finished in Carmen Red with Black leather upholstery, it was road registered as `LGT 788D' and supplied new via Linmac Ltd to Kemal Kansaran of Ilford, Essex. However, the Roadster's actual first owner is understood to have been Mr Kansaran's business associate Vince Landa. Continuing the distancing trend, the E-Type was booked in for its first service at 1,016 miles with Hackney Road Motor Services by Rensa Models Ltd of Long Street, London on April 1st 1966. A former boxer, Mr Landa fell foul of the infamous Kray Twins when they accused him of installing slot machines in some of their clubs. Relocating to the North East as a result, he set-up Social Club Services - a fruit machine business valued at £8m in 1966 - and became the owner of The Piccadilly and Birdcage nightclubs in Newcastle which played host to the likes of Tom Jones and Roy Orbison. Although, his main residence was Dryderdale Hall, Bishop Auckland, he also had a property in Spain and maintained links to London and the South-East. Embroiled in the so-called `one armed bandit murder' which saw Social Club Services' employee Angus Sibbert shot dead on January 4th 1967, `LGT 788D' was supposedly being driven that night by Michael Luvaglio (Landa's brother) and Dennis Stafford who were subsequently convicted of the crime. Messers Luvaglio and Stafford have long protested their innocence and the whole affair is referenced in Mark Knopfler's song 5:15am as well as being cited as an inspiration for the film `Get Carter' (which just so happens to feature Dryderdale Hall as the villain's lair). Eventually released by Durham Constabulary to H. Sibley of Pear Tree Garage on 10th September 1968, the Jaguar's next owner was reportedly Norman Gibbs of Hebburn, South Tyneside. A quiet spoken gentleman who was rarely seen without a jacket and tie, Mr Gibbs kept the car until 1986 when it was bought by Mr Willis, a Surrey-based dealer. Promptly advertised in Exchange & Mart on March 6th, `LGT 788D' was described thus: `E-Type Roadster, 1966, original red paintwork, 48,000 miles, service books, last owner 17 years, requires restoration'. Unperturbed by the work needed - if only because he and his brother own a restoration business specializing in Jaguars - the vendor had long been on the lookout for a late E-Type 4.2 Roadster that had left the factory in Carmen Red with Black upholstery. A personal project carried out on an `as and when' basis, the car had its repaired bodyshell re-sprayed during the mid-1990s but did not return to the road until 2008 (circa 700 miles ago) and indeed has just had a hood bag made for it. Aside from some crazing to the bonnet's power bulge which was caused by a stopper that ICI discontinued shortly thereafter, the Jaguar's Carmen Red cellulose paintwork remains highly presentable. Warranted to have covered just 49,000 miles from new, the E-Type has been thoroughly mechanically overhauled. Pleasingly retaining its original engine and gearbox, the Roadster benefits from an uprated cooling system, limited slip differential, taller back axle ratio, wider stainless wire wheels and improved Coopercraft front disc brakes. As smart underneath as it is on top, there is little doubt that the two-seater's rejuvenation was a labour of love. Described by the vendor as being in `very good' (paintwork, gearbox) or `excellent' (bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, interior trim) condition, this highly desirable, low mileage E-Type is only being offered for sale after thirty-one years to help fund a house purchase. The subject of an article in the E-Type Club's magazine entitled `E-Type Jags and Flashy Suits' during February 2012 (copy included), `LGT 788D' also comes with a jack, tool roll, handbook, brochure, Heritage Certificate, Exchange & Mart advertisement, Norman Gibbs' driving licence, first service invoice and MOT certificate valid until October 2018 etc. A fabulous car with a remarkable story to tell. PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by the author of the 'E-Type Jags and Flashy Suits' article, Mr Michael Cassidy, to say his subsequent research has shown that (a) Vince Landa's nightclub portfolio did not include the Birdcage and (b) Harry Sibley of the Pear Tree Garage was 'a regular in the company that Landa kept'.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

He studied at the Stroganov Institute and Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture from 1875-1881, with Perov, Sorokin, and Vladimir Makovsky, with whom his work is often compared. Lebedev later taught at the same schools from 1890, as well as the Imperial Academy of Arts from 1894-1898, where he was named an Academician from 1879, and a member of the Academy from 1906.
