Steve Ferguson (American, B. 1946) "EC-121 Constellation" Signed lower left. Original Acrylic painting on Cold Press Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 32c Constellation Classic Collection Series stamp issued July 19, 1997. The C-121 Constellation evolved from Lockheed's Super Constellation Model 1049 -- the last piston-engined aircraft to be built by Lockheed, with production ending in 1958. Equipped with four Wright turbo compound engines, the plane was supplied to a variety of civil airlines around the world, including America's Eastern Airlines. The long-range, military transport version shown on this painting carried additional fuel in two wing-tip tanks and one fuselage tank, for a total fuel capacity of 8,750 gallons -- enough for 24 hours of continuous flying time. The transport could be quickly converted to carry 75 passengers, 47 litter patients and attendants, or 14 tons of freight. Image Size: 16.25 x 13.75 in. Overall Size: 20 x 14.75 in. Unframed.

1958 Jaguar Mk. I (3.4 litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:52500Launched in 1955, the Mk. I extended Jaguar's domination of the high-performance car market in Britain, slotting neatly into the Coventry firm's range alongside the big Mk. VII M saloon and the XK140 sports car. The medium size newcomer broke new ground for Jaguar, being its first model to employ unitary construction of the chassis/body. Jaguar's engineers were understandably cautious in their approach, making the bodyshell stronger than in fact it needed to be and employing rubber mountings just about everywhere to insulate occupants from vibration and noise. The Mk. I was released with a new, short stroke, 2.4-litre version of the proven XK 'six', but demands for more power, especially from American customers, prompted the introduction of the 3.4-litre version early in 1957. With 190bhp on tap the 3.4-litre Mk. I was good for a top speed of 120mph and could reach 60mph in nine seconds, though if used to the full, this greatly improved performance severely taxed the drum brakes. All-round disc brakes were hurriedly announced as an option, becoming an almost universal fitting thereafter. The Mk. I was progressively updated throughout its life before a wholesale revision of the basic design saw it re-launched as the Mk. II in October 1959.This lovely example is presented in Sherwood Green (repainted in 2016) with its original tan leather interior (re-Connollised), new door cards and carpets and comes with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate confirming that it is a full matching numbers car which is all important. The car was the subject of a major professional ground up body restoration, approximately costing £20,000, with new inner and outer sills fitted in 2016. Its wonderful interior is complimented by its woodwork which typically shows off all that was luxurious with Jaguar motor cars and its smooth six-cylinder 3.4 litre engine is mated to an automatic gearbox. This car has been the subject of some considerable work over the last four years and with its colour coded spoke wheels matching its superb bodywork colour, this example really is one of the finest available. In 2016, the car had its disc brake system rebuilt, complete re-wire with new wiring loom. In 2020, the engine was rebuilt with all new bearings, rebuilt SU carburettors, fuel pump, piston rings, timing gear and oil pump. This wonderful example comes with its original Jaguar workshop manual and spares book is on its original UK registration.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

The ultimate modern-day Ferrari; rare, coveted and with just 1,600 miles.One of only 599 examples ever made and just two owners in totalNew to a Japanese collection, then bought by our vendor from UK specialists DK Engineering in 2015Just 2,577 km (1,601 miles); never seen rain, superb condition throughoutAll books and factory toolkit are still in their original plastic bagsHigh specification in Rosso Corsa (not Rosso Scuderia) paintwork, Grigio Silverstone Opaco roof, full Alcantara interior with Tessuto inserts, Rosso stitching, stitched prancing horses and Rosso harnessesUnderstandably, Ferrari uses the coolest ‘go-faster’ tag in the known-universe sparingly. History shows that only twice before has ‘The Scuderia’ attached the ultimate mark of speed and desirability to the rear of a road car. Those two cars were the 1962 250GTO and the 1984 288GTO - both were defined by performance and an intention to go racing. ‘Gran Turismo Omologato’ is the full description, and homologation was the purpose in both cases, albeit with vastly differing outcomes. The 250 enjoyed a great career, but the 288 GTO was born of the Group B regulations that never delivered the Porsche 959-versus-GTO-at-Le-Mans battles we all craved – leaving it as simply the fastest and most desirable Ferrari road car of its day.So how does this new car, launched in 2010, based on a road machine and with no specific intention to go racing, justify the name? Well, according to Ferrari, it does so by taking much of the technology from the track-only 599XX and making it available with a numberplate: it ‘homologates’ the XX for road use.The aims of this project were, in fact, very simple. Besides translating some of the new technologies wrought through the XX project into a road application, the intention was to extract maximum circuit performance from the 599 package, but still retain enough usability for the car to be a viable road car.The 599 is not an obvious base for a light-weight sports car. It may boast an aluminium bodyshell, but it’s a big machine with a 6.0-litre V12 wedged between the front wheels. The path to sharper responses has of course embraced the standard methodology: make it lighter and add more power. But it’s the sheer number and scope of the changes that impresses, helping to justify its 2010 price tag of £299,300 and underpins Ferrari’s assertion that this is much closer to being a 599XX with numberplates than a 599 HGTE-Plus.For starters, engine power rises from 612bhp to a staggering 661bhp; internal friction has been reduced by 12% through all manner of tweaks: DLC (Diamond Like Coating) for the tappets, super-finished cam lobes, a new shape for the crankshaft weights and a new design of piston skirt. The compression ratio rose from 11.2 to 11.9 and the breathing was completely overhauled.Ferrari has crafted a new aluminium intake system that uses shorter runners and saves 2kg, the exhaust system is ‘hydroformed’ – effectively blown into shape, thereby avoiding the heavy seams that come with even the best welding. The process thins the metal from 1.5mm to 0.8mm and saves a remarkable 15kg over a standard system. Throughout the car, an impressive 100kg has been shed.Gear ratios are down 6%, the car now hitting its claimed 208 mph maximum on the 8400rpm rev-limiter. If the engine work is comprehensive, the chassis goes even further: new springs, dampers, electronic systems, wheels, tyres and a new generation of carbon-ceramic brake that uses, for the first time in a road car, a ceramic pad material.At Fiorano, the car is brutally fast, lapping a second faster than any other Ferrari, and that’s despite weighing 300kg more than a 430 Scuderia.The GTO’s list of go-faster aids is bewildering. It uses the now familiar F1-Trac system to harness those 661 horses, but it now has SCM2, which is a second-generation ‘Skyhook’ damper – the type with magnetized fluid that can alter viscosity through electric current. The main difference on the GTO is that it is fitted with three accelerometers from the XX that relay real-time data to SCM2, whereas the GTB’s dampers have to use approximate data. It’s very, very clever stuff.The latest F1 automated manual is superb, giving 60m/s shifts at Fiorano (that’s 40m/s faster than a GTB) yet able to slur the action in town.The noise? The outside world is treated to four-fifths of the Le Mans soundtrack. In its upper reaches, the V12 gets sharp and angry. Performance is other-worldly, Ferrari claims it’ll do a standing km in 19.9sec, which makes it one of the fastest cars ever made in 2010.You could go on about this machine for an entire website - the thinner glass is 5.5kg lighter, forged wheels and titanium bolts save an eye-popping 22kg, and Sabelt’s snug carbon seats trim another 17kg. It’s a detail masterpiece, a track genius, a road tonic and yet another great Ferrari. Oh, and it fully deserves the badge.The car presented here is as close to a new 599 GTO as you are likely to find, a 2011 example with just over 1,600 miles covered and, in a condition, which wholly reflects this. The car has a very high specification with Rosso Corsa (not Rosso Scuderia) paintwork, Grigio Silverstone Opaco roof, full Alcantara interior with Tessuto inserts, Rosso stitching, stitched prancing horses and Rosso harnesses. It is supplied with all of its original and complete book-pack, covers, radio/key code cards and spare key.Being offered for sale from a discerning private collector of best-of-the-best classic and modern-classic cars, this GTO has been serviced / looked after by the famous 'Cornes' dealership of Japan, then DK Engineering and Dick Lovett Ferrari in the UK, and is undoubtedly one of the best examples available anywhere. Bought by our vendor in 2015 from DK Engineering who described it as 'an exceptional example', going on to say in an accompanying letter in the history file 'it is without doubt one of the best condition cars we have seen recently, especially in regards to the underside (of the car) which I looked closely at in the process of the service and PDI carried out in our workshops'. There is all the reassurance you could want about its ownership/servicing in Japan, its meticulous transportation to the UK (photos & paperwork etc.) and its subsequent full inspection with one of the UK's most revered Ferrari specialists. Regarded by many Ferrari enthusiasts as ‘ultimate modern-day Ferrari’, with that tangible GTO magic well and truly present, the associated kudos of knowing what that really is, and enough power and go to satisfy the demands of drivers seeking thrills from any one of the current crop of supercars, the 599 GTO might just be the high-tide mark for normally aspirated, big-engined sportscars full-stop.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 599 GTOYear: 2011Chassis Number: ZFF70RDJ000179278Transmission: Semi-autoEngine Number: 170329 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2577 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Nero Alcantara seats with RossoClick here for more details and images

A super 993 Turbo looking particularly purposeful with factory Turbo S rear wings.UK-supplied, C-16, right-hand drive, 993 Turbo with an interesting specificationPresenting very well finished in Ocean Blue with Classic Grey leather interiorIndicating just over 86,000 miles supported by a large and detailed history fileRecent invoices include an engine rebuild with new turbo seals at a Porsche specialistSpecified with X79 ‘Turbo S’ rear wings, carbon gear lever, and carbon handbrakeHandsome, high-performance 911 Turbo, the end of the air-cooled era and highly collectableThe 993 Turbo, introduced in mid-1995, retained a tight hold on the torch of the most powerful 911 variant whilst continuing the general developments and improvements to the breed as a whole. Amongst the new features, was an electronically controlled, viscous coupling, all-wheel-drive system, something Porsche had not offered on a turbocharged model since the 959 and a system that greatly improved the car's usability. Under the engine lid, now topped with a sculpted spoiler tail with downturned edges, resided the 3.6-litre, flat-six fed by twin K16 turbos. Combined with bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and a lower stance, the 993 Turbo had evolved into one of the fastest cars on the planet. With all four wheels helping to evenly distribute great handfuls of power, 0-60mph was dispatched in a staggering 3.7 seconds, 100mph whistled by in 5.7 seconds, and the linear forward thrust continued until the speedometer needle had said goodbye to 180mph and you were on conversational terms with the horizon.Offered here is a beautiful UK-supplied (C-16) 993 Turbo finished in Ocean Blue with Classic Grey leather interior, a colour combination that really suits the car. First registered on 5 January 1997 this example benefits from an interesting option list including ‘Turbo S’ body with side air vents on rear wings (X79), Carbon gear knob, carbon handbrake, leather-covered CD storage, electrically adjustable sports seats, top-tint screen and a sunshine roof. The speedometer indicated just 86,375 miles at the time of cataloguing and this mileage is supported by a detailed maintenance record.Forming part of our vendor’s landmark performance car collection for 11 years, this Turbo has always been dry stored and used when good weather permits. Clearly well maintained, within the history file is the original Porsche book-pack with original service book stamped up-to-date, most recently all fluids and filters at 86,375 miles, February 2021. The file also contains a wealth of invoices for recent attention including an engine rebuild with new cam-shafts, valve guides, piston-rings and turbo seals (£16,000+), current V5c, old MOTs, tracker documents and a current MOT valid until 4 February 2022.This is a great opportunity to acquire a car that is still considered blisteringly fast some two decades after its production ceased, yet is as docile and friendly as any 911 from the era. It's equally at home in the lanes of Somerset or blasting down the Autoroute to the Cote d'Azur but either way, as a super example of the last of the air-cooled Turbos, it will become increasingly sought after as the years go by.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 -993Year: 1997Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZVS370435Transmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 86500 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: GreyClick here for more details and images

1960 Morris Minor 1000 Cotswold Blue, 64 000. The Morris first registered on 4th February 1960, engine number 9.M.U.H 401469, VIN/Chassis nr M/AS.3792663, two owners from new, with current owner since October 1968 and subject to professional restoration and ideal project for someone who wants to add the finishing touches. Background: First registered in February 1960, purchased by ourselves in October 1968. It appeared to have been a one owner Cheltenham based car, undersealed from new, with an odometer reading of 53100 miles. It had recently had a top overhaul and piston service, and was generally in sound condition. It was purchased for use as a second car, and was used as such (by my ex-wife) until mid 1969 (mainly in the garage at the family home) mileage 64100 miles and kept in reserve as a spare car. At this stage oil was injected into the cylinders to prevent corrosion and the motor hand cranked periodically. This continued until around 2012, when it needed to be moved and the decision was taken to re-build it. It was trailered to a professional body shop, where the bodyshell was dismantled, the glass, doors bonnet and boot removed. Four new (genuine) wings were fitted, the front two were showing the characteristic signs of corrosion along the rear edge, the back two had both had minor scrapes. After extensive preparation (the original paint was still in good, but faded, condition) and correctly repainted in the original blue colour. All of the new work was then stone chip painted to give further protection, the windscreen replaced (old was scratched) and rear window, both with new seals, and the car trailered back to its (current new) garage for final assembly in 2014 (brake service, electrical reconnections, interior upgrade and detailing. Outstanding works: The 'fits' of the various openings, doors etc. need to be finally adjusted. The original leather upholstery is basically sound, but the stitching on some of the panels needs to be redone and the cushion material replaced. New carpet sets readily available. It was the intention to replace the wheel and master cylinders (and maybe some of the rubber hoses) simply because of their age (genuine parts readily available) Routine lubrication service and battery, wiper blades etc.Service History: October 1968 - change of oils, new filter, wiper blades, gearchange grommet. New Michelin tyre.December 1968 - grease, replace top water hose and heater hoses. Change engine oil, new brake hoses, overall starter, replace O/s/r bulb.January 1969 - Fit new clutch and carbon thrust bearing.April 1969 - Replace battery, general light service, new air filter. July 1969 - Engine oil change service, from the mid 1970's laid up to date until 2014 it had two new tyres fitted. Kindly provided by the current owner. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CHERISHED PLATE IS INCLUDED WITH THE PURCHASE ON THIS VEHICLE.

Cast iron Moving Piston Racer, L: 26 cm. P&P Group 2 (£18+VAT for the first lot and £3+VAT for subsequent lots)

1956 Norton ES2, 499 cc, project. Registration number UAT 973. Frame number 58682 (see text). Engine number L4 66937.Introduced at the 1927 Motor Cycle Show, the ES2 sports roadster used the Model 18?s overhead-valve engine in the cradle frame of the overhead-camshaft CS1, and from then onwards the ?ES2? designation was always applied to Norton?s top-of-the-range overhead-valve single. The ES2 was built in several versions during a production run lasting until 1963, though the engine dimensions of 79x100mm bore/stroke - first adopted by James Landsdowne Norton in 1911 - remained unchanged to the end. Post-war developments included the adoption of an alloy cylinder head (1955), alternator (1959) and the slim-line version of the Featherbed frame introduced on the single-cylinder range for 1961. Production of all of Norton?s traditional singles ended in 1963, though the ?ES2? designation was later applied to a re-badged Matchless. This project, found at the back of Hull racer Mike Browns shed was registered to Gordon Walmsley, followed by three others before Keith Bass in 1970, then Gary Wilkinson, all of Hull, in 1971 before Mike bought it.Please note there is only a crank, rod and piston in the engine.Sold with the V5C and RF60, please note these documents state the frame to be L4 66937.

1973 Triumph T100P, 490cc. Registration number SAT 54M. Frame number T100P DH31363. Engine number T100P DH31363.Triumph enjoyed a long history of providing machines to police forces around the world, and the machine offered here - based on the T100R but to police specification - was constructed in April 1973, making it one of the very last 500cc models built at Meriden. By that time the BSA/Triumph Group was in severe financial difficulty, and the proposed closure of Triumph?s Meriden factory led to a workers? occupation of the plant in September 1973. When the plant eventually reopened properly in March 1975, the two 500cc models in production immediately prior to the shutdown ? the Daytona-derived T100R and the TR5T Trophy Trail ? were not revived. SAT started life with the Office of Revenue Commissioners at Dublin Castle, the Irish Government agency responsible for customs, excise, taxation and related matters.By 1977 it had left the service but remained in Co. Dublin with Barry Tracey, then Martin Flynn and Terrance Moria, before in 1985 it moved to Co. Wicklow with Gerald Blades and in 1990 with Paul Coates. Our vendor states that Coates built it from boxes when he bought it and 25 years later rebuilt it again with emphasis on the engine (including new pistons).Our vendor brought it over from Ireland in March 2015 and registered it with DVLA, he states the piston tops were still spotless when he bought it. He bought it not running and had only to clean the petrol tap and carb, add a charged battery and it started second kick.

1966 Ducati Mach 1, 250 cc. Registration number ABW 959D. Frame number not stamped. Engine number DM250M1 01635.Although the Ducati manufacturing organisation could trace its history back to the 1920s it did not start manufacturing motorcycles until the late 1940s and early success led to the appointment of Fabio Taglioni as chief designer in 1954. His first design was a 98cc sporting overhead-camshaft machine, to become known as the Marianna, proved a great success and was to become a competitive entrant for long distance road events so favoured by the Italians. Taglioni built on his success with the introduction of larger displacement machines featuring the now established OHC design which was eminently suited to tuning and serious competition and in 1959 a 125 Taglioni design took a young Mike Hailwood to his first Grand Prix victory. The first 250cc engined bike entered production in 1961 and was an immediate success, to become known in the UK as the 250 Daytona, it was the first of the 'narrow-crankcase' derivatives which would dominate production until the late 1960s, and in 1964 one such derivative appeared in the from of the 'Mach 1.' The Mach 1 featured a tuned motor sporting high lift cams, big valves with stronger springs and modified adjusters, a high compression piston and a 29 mm Del Orto carburettor producing a claimed 28bhp at 8500rpm, against the Daytona's not inconsequential 17bhp. Coupled to a 5 speed gearbox the Mach 1 offered blistering performance for a 250 machine and it was tested at 105mph making it the fastest production 250 of its day.ABW was initially sold in the USA as part of Joe Berliner's stock and in later years was with Richard Moran of Cedar Rapids. After his passing it found its way over to the UK with Richard Wujkiw and Peter Hindley who restored it with receipts on file for and engine gearbox rebuild.Our vendor spent many years searching for a good example of a Mach 1 and found this machine in February 2019. Ill health now means he wishes to pass it on to a new home.Sold with the V5C, period Ducati manual, various receipts and magazine articles. Please note there is no oil in the machine so recommissioning will be required for road use.https://www.goodingco.com/vehicle/1965-ducati-250-mach-i/.

Gerald Coulson Mission by Moonlight Limited Edition signed by 3 Mosquito crew members who flew with the RAFs elite Pathfinders Force during WW2. This print is from the Limited Edition number 35 350 published in 2006 and is supplied with the original Certificate of Authenticity. The print is signed by the artist, Gerald Coulson, and 3 Mosquito crew members who flew with the RAFs elite Pathfinder Force during World War II: Wing Commander Robert Bray DFC, Flight Lieutenant Frank Diamond DFC AE and Flight Lieutenant Geoffrey Perks DFC. The print measures approximately 22.25 inches x 19 inches and has been stored flat, out of the light and is in very good condition. Print historical detail: With Britain under siege at the beginning of the war, and a vast shortage of metals and skilled labour to work it, inspirational design led to the construction of one of the most remarkable warplanes ever built. Constructed almost entirely of laminated wood, bonded with glue, the complex construction was undertaken by craftsmen hitherto trained in the skill of building furniture! The result was the sensational de Havilland Mosquito. Powered by its two huge Merlin engines, its sleek, shark like design made it the fastest and most versatile aircraft of the war. To commemorate this much loved and incomparable aircraft, Gerald Coulsons evocative painting depicts a Mosquito B Mk. XVI, a high altitude bomber version, on operations deep over occupied Europe. In this guise the Mosquito was by far the fastest piston engine bomber of World War II, and also the only light bomber capable of delivering the devastating 4,000lb block buster bomb. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide. UK postage from £4.99, EU from £6.99, Rest of World from £8.99.
