c.1903 Stanley Model CX 6½hp Steam Runabout Registration no. BS 8546 Chassis no. 507 Engine no. 1200•Iconic American steam-powered passenger car•Listed in the Stanley Register•Extensively restored•Hydraulic and steam tests completed in October 2022Footnotes:'When all was well, the little Stanley runabouts probably provided more pleasurable motoring than anything else on the market at the turn of the century - that is if they were handled properly - they ran very quietly and with that effortless smoothness which no petrol car of the time could rival. They were also quite lively...' - Anthony Bird, 1967.Francis E and Freeland O Stanley were identical twins, whose Stanley Dry Plate Company produced photographic equipment. The brothers also designed steam cars, experimenting with a solitary prototype in 1887 before reviving the project in 1897. By the following year they had completed three more, one of which completed a spectacular demonstration in Charles River Park, Boston where it successfully scaled an 80ft incline that had defeated its rivals. Orders for 200 cars resulted and the Stanleys were in business. That first design was sold to John Brisben Walker and manufactured as the 'Locomobile', while the Stanleys progressed to a non-condensing engine driving the rear axle directly, with a rear-mounted boiler, production of which commenced in 1902. With Mobile out of business by 1903 and Locomobile by that time making petrol-engined cars, Stanley dominated the market and continued to do so until 1927 when steamer production ceased. Stanley's sole UK agent was F Wilkinson of Manchester.Listed in Kelly R Williams' Stanley Register and the Sprague Register (when owned by Art Hart), this CX runabout was previously purchased by one A Sinclair from a G Brese in the USA and imported in a partially dismantled state in June 2008. It was rebuilt with the assistance of F J Theobald (of the Steam Car Club) and on Mr Theobald's death was sold to a Mr T Gurr. The immediately preceding owner acquired the Stanley in February 2013 and a considerable amount of additional work was subsequently carried out, mainly by J R Goold Vintage Steam Restorations. The rebuild was completed in 2015. The boiler (and its larger-than-stock tank) are the only notified deviations from factory specification. The car's previous owner purchased the Stanley at Bonhams' London-Brighton Run sale in October 2015 (Lot 104), since when it has been on display in a heated barn and only used two or three times per year. Since acquisition, the vehicle has been tested annually by J R Goold, who have looked after it for many years. Last year they added a remote handle to the drains enabling operation from the driver's seat, but this can be returned to standard in 20 minutes with no damage to the car. By time of sale J R Goold will have completed the 10-year hydraulic test and live steam test, so the Stanley will come with new 10-year hydraulic and a one-year steam certification. Offered with a V5C document. This Lot is available to view at Classic Car Storage near Petersfield, Hampshire (by appointment with the Car Department only) from Monday 24th October to Wednesday 2nd November. It will then be available to view at Bonhams, 101 New Bond Street on Friday 4th November from 10am.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1915 Lanchester Sporting Forty Torpedo Tourer Registration no. O 7574 Chassis no. 1569 Engine no. 1569•The only survivor of six built•Retained as the company's 'publicity car'•Present family ownership since 1997•Restored between 1998 and circa 2004Footnotes:One of the greatest names in the history of the automobile, Frederick Lanchester began his career as an engineer at the Forward Gas Engine Co of Saltley, near Birmingham, where he rose to become its works manager and chief designer. He patented a pendulum inertia governor while there, and would go on to file a further 425 patents in the course of a remarkably inventive life. With his younger brother George taking his place as works manager, Frederick began experimenting with small gasoline engines. He began work on what would be the UK's first four-wheeled petrol car of entirely native design in 1895, producing a tiny handful of prototypes, and in December 1899 the Lanchester Engine Company Ltd was formed to manufacture motor cars. During 1900 six cars were built, all retained for the company's own use, with deliveries to paying customers commencing in 1901. The first production Lanchester was powered by a horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine of 4.0 litres, which drove via three-speed epicyclic gearbox and worm-drive rear axle. Larger twins were introduced, but by 1904 the general expectation was that engines of this size should have four cylinders, and it was while Frederick was designing such a car that his company went bust. The firm was reorganised as the Lanchester Motor Company Ltd and duly introduced its first four-cylinder model – a 2½-litre rated at 20hp – towards the end of 1904. Despite the engine now being vertical and at the front, Lanchester's established 'bonnet-less' look was maintained by mounting the power unit between the driver and front passenger. All production Lanchesters would follow this layout up to 1914. Unusually, one lever operated the clutch, gears, and main brake. In 1906 a six-cylinder 3.7-litre model based on the existing four was introduced, which was followed by larger models of both engine types. By this time George Lanchester had become increasingly disillusioned with the company that bore his name, and George began to take on more of the design and engineering responsibilities. With bonneted cars now established as the norm, the bluff-fronted Lanchesters were looking increasingly old-fashioned in appearance, and in 1913, at the directors' instructions, the first conventional design was introduced: the 'Sporting Forty', which was the first Lanchester designed by George. Representing a quantum leap in style, this new type of Lanchester was powered by a 5½-litre sidevalve six that was carried beneath a lengthy bonnet. The result was one of the most stylish sports cars of its era and a worthy rival for Rolls-Royce's Silver Ghost. Only a handful had been completed when the outbreak of WWI saw Lanchester's factory redirected onto munitions and aero engine manufacture. This car is the only survivor. After the war the Sporting Forty was replaced in 1919 by a similar looking, but completely different, 40hp design. Lanchester made only six of this model and this example was retained by the factory as the company's 'publicity car. It was sold initially to an owner in Wales and then went to Australia; it is now the only known survivor. This car was the subject of a series of six articles in the VCC Gazette No. 294 (copy available) written by the late owner, Graham Pilmore-Bedford, who restored it between 1998 and circa 2004. The Lanchester is now owned by his family. Graham Pilmore-Bedford was an enthusiastic and active VCC member, and in the 1970s was the Lanchester Owners' Club Registrar and very friendly with Francis Hutton-Stott, the former VCC President and Lanchester authority. Graham first heard about this car in South Australia in 1974. The Australian owner wanted to get the car running; he had found it with the engine and front part of the chassis powering a generator, while the front suspension and front axle were being used for a horse drawn buggy. The car was missing its gearbox and the Australian did not get around to starting the project.Graham purchased the car in 1997 and brought it back to the UK, and by 1998 he had started the project. The coachwork is an exact replica of the original factory body, the ash frame being made by Graham to the correct specification from drawings and then skinned in aluminium to a high standard by a company in Devon. A casting of the gearbox casing was made from exact drawings, while the internals were more easily obtained as they match those of a 38hp car. The original wheels came with the purchase, as did the chassis (in two parts), steering column, some gearbox linkages and control pedals. The Lanchester has an Auster type rear passenger screen and overall is a very imposing car with its lovely polished aluminium body and pale blue wings and chassis. Other lovely details of a car rivalling a Rolls-Royce or Napier for quality include side mounted spares on either side; Lucas 'King of the Road' headlamps; faired-in side lamps to the front wings; a full complement of instruments; and very nice blue leather interior trim and blue/grey carpets.After completion the Lanchester returned to the road not long after 2004 for a rally in Wales. It also took part in some VCC SE Section rallies as well as the VCC 'Best of West Kent' annual rally, which was organised in part by Graham. The car also participated in a rally in France when Graham reached his 80th birthday. The family are Lanchester enthusiasts and the car shares a motor house with other examples of the marque. For the last decade the Lanchester has belonged to Graham Pilmore-Bedford's son, Jeremy, who drove it during that period on the 'Best of West Kent' rally and the event in France when his father turned 80.'O 7574' was recently checked over having been stored unused since circa 2017, and started and ran well for the photographic session. This unique piece of Lanchester history comes with a V5C document and VCC Dating Certificate (no. 2453), while one or two spare original bonnet panels (not serviceable) and the top part of the original bulkhead are included in the sale. This Lot is available to view at Classic Car Storage near Petersfield, Hampshire (by appointment with the Car Department only) from Monday 24th October to Wednesday 2nd November. It will then be available to view at Bonhams, 101 New Bond Street on Friday 4th November from 10am.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 220
1898 De Dion Bouton 1¾hp Tricycle Registration no. BS 8659 Chassis no. 3037 Engine no. 5400•VCC Dated •Important transition between bicycle and car•Much restoration carried out by experts•Actively used in Team Jarrott and other eventsFootnotes:As early as 1882 Comte Albert De Dion with Trépardoux and Bouton built their first steam carriage at a time of rapid development of powered road transport and in a decade when it was by no means clear whether steam, electricity or the internal combustion engine would gain the upper hand. To the absolute dismay of Trépardoux, De Dion and Bouton favoured the internal combustion engine, developing the World's first successful high revving engines which were initially fitted to tricycles and quadricycles and achieved considerable successes in the new-fangled 19th Century motor sport. Cycle racing was a hugely popular sport in the last two decades of the 19th Century and racing motorised tricycles was a logical progression. The great sporting motorist Charles Jarrott wrote, 'I obtained the greatest pleasure from cycle racing .... then I came within the sphere of motors, and the whole scene changed. The atmosphere of speed enveloped me, and the fascination of motor racing laid hold of me, and on the first possible opportunity I took part in a motor race.' Jarrott raced De Dion tricycles alongside the likes of S. F. Edge and H. O. Duncan, taking part in classic events such as the Paris-Bordeaux – just one of the great City-to-City races. Prospective buyers of this machine should take Jarrott's classic work, Ten Years of Motors and Motor Racing 1896–1906, as their essential reading.The last decade or so has seen a remarkable revival of this Jarrott era, encouraged by the De Dion Bouton Club UK and its leading lights, there have once again been racing events for tricycles, more than 20 examples being amassed for the 120th anniversary event at Brooklands, and other similar events before and since. More recently further limelight for these early vehicles came at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and Tour, a 1900 example being ridden the full 65 miles of the Monterey Peninsula tour. The example offered here arrived in the UK in the early 2000s from France. Initial restoration was started before the project was purchased by the current owner who completed the work both with close attention to detail and the intention of having a reliable machine that could be used in a wide range of road and track events. Over the years it has participated in many UK events, including the Pioneer Run and those track events organised by the De Dion Bouton Club. Over time it has been refined with several upgrades including a fuel tank for longer distance touring, a difficult to find De Dion Bouton spray carburettor, and the addition of a two-speed Bozier type gearbox for ease of starting and more relaxed travel. Recent work carried out on the tricycle from 2016 was entrusted to respected restorers NP Veteran Engineering, for which bills are on file. Following restoration, the tricycle was examined by the Dating Committee of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain and was awarded a full dating certificate for 1898. As offered here today, it is both a very well sorted example, but also an excellent representation of this fascinating chapter of the early motorcar development and motorsport. This Lot is available to view at 101 New Bond Street from Friday 28th October to Friday 4th November during normal business hours For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

HOKYUDO ITSUMIN: A SUPERB WOOD NETSUKE OF A SARUMAWASHI AND MONKEYBy Hokyudo Itsumin, signed Itsumin o 逸民翁 Japan, Edo (Tokyo), mid-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)The sarumawashi (monkey trainer) dressed in typical attire, his robe very finely carved and decorated with various patterns, his show-monkey seated next to him, a minutely carved rope around the simian's neck. The monkey is tugging on the rope which extends in several loops into the hand of the sarumawashi, who glances over at the monkey with a surprised expression as he readies his stick to punish the monkey for its disobedience. The scene is carved with delightful charm and humor; the expressions are captured perfectly. The eyes are double inlaid in pale and dark horn. Two small himotoshi underneath and the signature within a typically shaped, raised reserve ITSUMIN o [old man Itsumin].LENGTH 4.4 cm, HEIGHT 4.2 cmCondition: Excellent condition, hardly any wear.Provenance: US private collection.Hokyudo Itsumin was a highly talented carver of netsuke and okimono who likely started his career in Nagoya, possibly as a pupil of Ittan, and later moved to Edo (Tokyo). Monkeys were a favored subject of the artist, the subject of the sarumawashi, however, is considerably rarer.

MORIKAWA TOEN: A RARE WOOD NETSUKE OF RANRYO-O BUGAKU MASKBy Morikawa Toen (1820-1894), signed Ranryo-o Toen 杜園Japan, Nara, second half of 19th centuryThe bugaku mask carved in the ittobori (single cut) technique, portrayed in a typical manner with suspended jaw, prominent nose, large eyes, the long bushy beard curling around to the other side, and surmounted by an elaborate dragon headdress with fierce expression. Himotoshi through the central bar in the back and inscribed “Ranryo-o” 蘭陵王 and signed TOEN.HEIGHT 6 cmCondition: Excellent condition, minor surface wear.Provenance: European collection P. Jacquesson.Morikawa Toen was known for his Nara ningyo (dolls) sculptures and as a noh actor. His work was admired by the Daimyo of Tosa, the magistrate of Nara, who awarded him with names from Japanese mythology. The Imperial household also became his patrons. He received many prizes throughout his career and was later commissioned by the newly founded Tokyo Imperial Museum to make copies of ancient works of art. One of the four most handsome men in Chinese history, Prince Ranryo (in Chinese, Lanling) wore a fearsome mask to hide his face when he led his troops into battle. The dance created by his followers in honor of their brave commander was later introduced to Japan and is thought to have become part of the classical bugaku repertoire by the second half of the eighth century.
