Appointed Marshal in 1707. Louis XIV (1638-1715) King of France 1643-1715. The longest reigning monarch in European history. Grandfather of King Philip V. The Spanish city of Badajoz, in Extremadura, was besieged in October 1705 during the War of the Spanish Succession 1701-15. Triggered by the death of the childless King Charles II of Spain, the major European conflict was to determine who should be the next King of Spain and whether a Bourbon or a Habsburg would take control of Spain's very extensive possessions. It was well known that the union of France and Spain under one monarch would upset the balance of power in Europe, such that other European powers would take steps to prevent it. The War concluded with the Treaty of Utrecht which forbade any future possibility of unifying the French and Spanish thrones. Philip V, Duke of Anjou, was born at the Palace of Versailles and was the Heir apparent to the throne of France. The grandson of King Louis XIV, Philip was the first member of the House of Bourbon to rule as King of Spain. The sum of his two reigns is the longest in modern Spanish history.

1937 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Saloon - Finished in silver matched to a red leather interior with Park Ward limousine coach work - Supplied new to a Mr Ralph Clifford Lynn esq, a comedy actor from Manchester - Previously UK registered as 'DLT 428' and offered with a copy of its US title plus chassis card records Further info: Maintaining its policy of offering one 'Large' and one 'Small' model (the terms being purely relative!), Rolls-Royce introduced the 20/25 in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20 hp. Though the newcomer was intended to appeal to owner drivers, many examples were in fact sold to customers with chauffeurs. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six unit used in the 20 hp. Now of 3699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and a higher top speed - up to 75mph, depending on the chosen body. The four speed manual gearbox featured the manufacturer's traditional right-hand change and was equipped with synchromesh on the top two ratios from 1932 onwards. The substantial chassis sported rigid axles front and rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. The four-wheeled braking was mechanically servo assisted. In 1936, the company opted to increase performance once more, further enlarging the engine to 4257cc to create the so-called 25/30, of which 1201 examples were made before the model was superseded by the Wraith in 1938. Like most Rolls-Royces, the 25/30 starred on the silver screen, most notably in 'The Naked Truth' and 'Death on the Nile'. This charming 25/30 is finished in silver matched to a red leather interior and features Park Ward limousine coach work to body number 4225. Supplied new to a Mr Ralph Clifford Lynn esq. who was a comedy actor from Manchester best remembered for playing comedy parts in the Aldwych farces, first on stage and then in film. Featuring a central division and fold out picnic tables, 'GGN 27' had resided in the USA for a long period before recently retuning to the UK. Having previously been UK registered as 'DLT 428' the Rolls Royce is offered with a copy of the US title, chassis card records, bill of sale and offers the opportunity to acquire an attractive Rolls Royce with an interesting history. PLEASE NOTE: This lot is not offered with the flying lady mascot as pictured however does include a town cap. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)
