Part of a piston from a crashed World War Two Messerschmitt aeroplane. Messerschmitt BF-109 E-1 from 3/JG51 Number 4822. Pilot-FHR Mueller was attacking London during the Battle of Britain on 22 October 1940. His plane was shot down by the famous RAF ace and squadron leader "Sailor" Malan and flying officer Mungo-Park of No. 74 Squadron while escorting Bf109 Jabos (bomb-carrying 109s) attacking London. Mueller crashed in the channel near Hastings, Mueller bailed out and was captured. This is the piston from the DB601 engine, which was recovered much later from the sea by a fishing boat. Adolph Gysbert Malan DSO & Bar DFC & Bar (24 March 1910 - 17 September 1963), better known as Sailor Malan, was a famed South African World War II RAF fighter pilot who led No. 74 Squadron RAF during the height of the Battle of Britain. Malan was known for sending German bomber pilots home with dead crews as a warning to other Luftwaffe crews. Under his leadership the 74 became one of the RAF's best units. Malan scored 27 kills, seven shared destroyed, three probably destroyed and 16 damaged. Malan survived the war - to become involved in the anti-apartheid movement in his country.
1969 NSU 1200 TT - Former Autocar road test car and part of NSU's contemporary UK press fleet- 1 of just 9 survivors known to the DVLA, recent engine overhaul and front suspension refurbishment- Intriguing Mini Cooper S rival, MOT'd till November 2017An evolution of the NSU Prinz 1000 TT, the 1200 TT (Tourist Trophy) was launched in June 1967. Marketed as a sports saloon in much the same vein as the Mini Cooper S or Fiat Abarth 850TC, both of which it crossed swords with in the European Touring Car Championship, the newcomer was powered by a mid / rear-mounted 1171cc SOHC four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Boasting an oil cooler, all-round independent suspension, twin carburettors and front disc brakes, the compact four-seater was renowned for its nimble handling and nigh on 100mph performance.First registered as 'EPX 570H' on 15th October 1969, this particular right-hand drive example is notable for having formed part of NSU's contemporary press fleet. As well as being featured in the company's 'An invitation . . .' sales brochure, the 1200 TT acquitted itself with honours when pitted against a Mini 1275GT in Autocar magazine's December 1969 issue, copies of which are included in the sale. The magazine noting that the German machine was faster, freer revving, less cramped and more refined than its British rival.One of just nine 1200 TTs currently known to the DVLA, 'EXP 570H' has recently benefited from an engine overhaul (including new piston rings, bearings and timing chains) not to mention a front suspension refurbishment (uprated Spax adjustable dampers and poly bushes). Finished in Alfa Rot with Black cloth upholstery and displaying a credible but unwarranted 76,000 miles to its odometer, the sports saloon is variously described by the vendor as being in 'good' (bodywork, paintwork, gearbox), 'very good' (engine, electrical equipment) or 'excellent' (interior trim) order. With prices of LHD examples soaring on the Continent, 'EXP 570H' looks to be very good value especially given its wonderful provenance.

- Chassis originally supplied to Archie Ballantine of the famous family of distillers- Much recent work by Elmdown Engineering Ltd- Mechanical enhancements include Phoenix crank and rods, overdrive kit fitted- Desirable 9ft 9.5 feet chassis lengthThough initially opposed to the idea of competing at Le Mans, W O Bentley was well aware of how success in motorsport can aid sales, and, following the privateer 4th place of Duff and Clement in the inaugural 1923 Le Mans race, Bentley triumphed at La Sarthe in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930. The first two victories were achieved with versions of the 3 Litre model - an extraordinary feat considering it was the first to be produced by a company that had only commenced production in 1921. By 1928, however, more power was required and Bentley won with the 4 1/2 Litre car 'Old Mother Gun', that had been trialled the previous year but eliminated in the infamous White House crash. Since then, upgrading the engine to 4 1/2 Litres (in essence 2/3rds of the company's 6 1/2 litre unit), has been an accepted way of improving the performance of the 3 Litre models, and is exactly what was done to Chassis No.735 during the comprehensive restoration that turned it into the splendid-looking motorcar now offered for sale.A copy of the chassis records shows that, on completion in 1924, 'XU 3216' was handed over to Eustace Watkins of Bond Street, London, for delivery to its first owner - Archibald J Ballantine of G Ballantine & Sons, 1 Craigmillar Park, Edinburgh. Whisky drinkers will be well aware that Ballantines is a famous make of blended Scotch that dates back to 1827. Archie was a grandson of the founder and responsible for the company's operations in Edinburgh, while his brother steered its fortunes in Glasgow, garnering a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria along the way.The records suggest Archie put his new toy to good use, with considerable maintenance carried out year on year - for example the engine was decoked and new valves and piston rings installed in 1928. Servicing was variously carried out by J A Hogg & Co of Peebles in 1929 and 1931 and by Scottish Motor Traction of Edinburgh in 1932. The trail then goes largely cold until June 1998 when the car was rediscovered. The chassis had been refurbished and shortened from 10' to 9' 9 1/2 inches but the Bentley still retained its original engine, steering box etc. The chassis is stamped on the front dumb iron and it is understood the offside rail is a repaired original whilst the nearside chassis rail has been replaced. There is a letter on file from the Bentley Drivers Club the following January, concerning an inspection of the car they carried out on behalf of Rod Warriner Restorations, in which they confirm it to be Chassis No.735 and recommend the original registration 'XU 3216' (that had lapsed 'due to a very lengthy rebuilding programme') be re-allocated. The Bentley was subsequently shipped to Australia where it was painstakingly restored to original condition over a number of years. It was at this stage the engine was upgraded to 4.5 litre specification, the radiator re-cored, oil pump capacity increased and full flow filter installed, and C-Type gearbox installed together with a modern clutch and lightened flywheel etc.The vendor returned the fully rejuvenated Chassis No.735 to the UK roads in April 2015, since when it has greatly benefited from several visits to Elmdown Engineering of Hungerford, Berks who, apart from a lot of fine tuning, have fitted an overdrive unit, Cibi£ lamps, battery cut-out etc.The replica Vanden Plas body has been fashioned in aluminium over an American Oak frame and the car is now impressively presented with Bentley Racing Green coachwork teamed with Brown leather interior trim. This eye-catching vintage Bentley comes complete with full and half tonneau covers, and combines a charming early history with modern upgrades to make it wholly manageable and enjoyable in modern motoring conditions as evidenced in its successful completion of the Alpine Trial in 2015.
