Cornwell was a sight-setter on the ship forward 5.5" gun and was badly wounded by a direct hit on his station. He remained at his post despite most of his crew mates having been killed and he was subjected to further heavy shelling, before eventually making it to hospital where he died. He was buried in a communal grave in East London but after a public outcry, exhumed and re-buried with full naval honours and was later awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross. The bust is approximately 12cm tall and carries the crest for South Queensferry, with a stamp to the base reading 'J. Edmond, South Queensferry'.

- Ex-Richard Colton, much money spent with specialist Bill McGrath Ltd- Wheels recently refurbished and service carried out- Comprehensive service history, beautiful example of this stylish GTResponsible for supplying this handsome Gran Turismo when new, the Glenvarigill Company Ltd of Edinburgh also sold it to previous keeper Simon Hemingway under the Trident Approved Scheme on 10th October 2001 at a warranted mileage of 18,423. Finished in Blu Nettuno with Pelle Rossa upholstery and powered by a turbocharged 2.8-litre V6 (284bhp/305lbft) allied to four-speed automatic transmission, the four-seater cost Richard Colton £14,000 upon entering his ownership some four years and 47,000 miles later. Reputedly the penultimate example of just 236 RHD Ghibli IIs made, the Maserati was dispatched to marque specialist Bill McGrath Ltd during August 2006 where £12,462.05 worth of attention was paid to its radiator, steering, front suspension, rear axle, engine (cylinder heads overhauled, new pistons / liners / main bearings / timing chains etc) and interior. Waxoyled the following year, chassis 400235 returned to Bill McGrath Ltd c.3,000 miles ago for a cambelt service, new rear brake callipers and the fitment of stainless steel exhaust back boxes etc. Purchased by the vendor in 2015, the car has recently been treated to a service whilst the wheels have been refurbished. It is offered for sale with original owner's handbook and stamped service book, comprehensive service history including over £17,000 worth of post-2005 invoices, cherished registration V6 NBD and MOT certificate valid until June 2017.
Lot 2057
General Motors' Advance Design Series of trucks, represented the company's first post-war reshape and were claimed to be bigger, stronger and sleeker than the AK model they replaced. The newcomers quickly acquired a loyal following and were produced with only minor amendments from 1947 to 1955, during which period the Chevrolet brand topped the American truck sales charts. The left-hand drive sale vehicle has recently been brought to these shores from the dry state of California where its long term private keeper of some 10 years treated '734 UYO' to a re-paint and interior re-trim. Power comes from a 3.8-litre (231ci) petrol engine coupled to a three -speed manual gearbox and the pickup features a side mounted spare wheel with White wall tyres which are said to be all in 'good' order and has recently been treated to a new battery, starter motor, clutch kit, handbrake cables and oil change. Offered with V5C and MOT exempt if you drive a modern box and long for something more interesting - then this could be for you?!
Lot 2060
- Ex-Major Goldie Gardner, original registration number- Recent expenditure exceeds £4,000 on suspension, tyres etc.- Retrimmed in red leather, 16 inch wheels, removable steering wheelMG's new TC model was announced within five weeks of peace returning to Europe following WW2. Only available in RHD, power came from the company's proven 1250cc OHV XPAG unit mated to a four-speed gearbox. With an output of 54.4bhp, it was capable of an impressive top speed approaching 80mph.As evidenced by the accompanying buff logbook, this early example was originally the property of Major A T Goldie Gardner OBE MC, winner of three BRDC Gold Stars and a highly accomplished racing driver and record breaker both pre and post-World War Two. In 1939, his streamlined MG exceeded 200mph and took a number of 1100cc and 1500cc class records at Dessau, Germany. Indeed, between 1936 and 1950 he set over 100 international and national speed records in Europe and the USA.His close relationship with MG naturally resulted in him taking possession of one of the new TC models in 1946. Registered in his name on 23 March of that year, he kept the car until 1948 when it passed to the Watson family of Purley, Surrey. Details of further keepers up to 1973 are recorded on further buff logbooks offered with the car. Recent works exceeding £4,000 have included converting the front lever arms to Spax adjustable shock absorbers with telescopic dampers being fitted to the rear. The brakes were also overhauled at this time. The interior has been retrimmed in red leather and a removable steering wheel is fitted whilst a single aero screen enhances its sporting appeal. Understood to be fitted with fibreglass wings, the car sits well on its 16inch wheels with recent Avon tyres. Kept in a heated, dehumidified garage, the car benefits from both a hood and sidescreens, whilst its interesting early history would make it an excellent addition to any MG collection.

The 'B' has covered something like 430 miles since completion. The specification of the car includes a tuned engine with fast road cam, a 45 DCOE Webber carburettor and fabricated extractor manifold, oil cooler with braided pipes, electronic ignition, in line fuel filter, Kenlowe thermostatically controlled engine fan, spin off oil filter and stainless steel exhaust.

Lot 2098
- Purchased by superstar footballer George Best from Grassicks Garage Ltd of Perth- Built in accordance with 'Page 16 Issue 12 SVR.1067 of the Special Vehicles requirement brochure'- Original Black leather upholstery, Grey Ambla headlining and Black carpets etc, last registered keeper since 1994Launched in 1965, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was a bold departure for the Crewe-based company. Their first monocoque design, it also benefited from olio-pneumatic rear suspension, power disc brakes and, from 1968, GM's silken 400 series automatic gearbox. Such 'new technology' did not encroach on the luxurious interior with its sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets. Performance from the smooth 6230cc V8 engine (upgraded to 6750cc in 1970) was assured, the car wafting forward on a seemingly unstoppable wave of torque. Still immensely cosseting to drive, Shadows offer a genuinely different ownership experience to their mass made peers.According to its accompanying RREC copy chassis records, this particular example - chassis number SRH 13549 - was built in accordance with 'Page 16 Issue 12 SVR.1067 of the Special Vehicles requirement brochure'. Factory finished in Acrylic White with Black leather upholstery, Grey Ambla headlining and Black carpets, the luxury saloon was supplied new to Grassicks Garage Limited of Perth, Scotland as a 'Trials Car' on 27th June 1972. As well as 'Plain Sundym Glass throughout' and an 'internally adjustable mirror to the driver's door', optional equipment also included 'Automatic Speed Control' (better known these days as cruise control). A letter on file from Tony Clark of Grassicks Ltd reveals that the Silver Shadow was sold to the internationally renowned football player George Best before the Scottish Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Ferrari distributor had had the chance to open a Service Record for it. No stranger to publicity, George Best and his new acquisition were photographed by the Daily Mirror in the showrooms of Ian Anthony Car Sales on 4th December 1972. The car has sported various registration numbers over the past forty-four years but on that occasion wore plates advertising Mr. Anthony's Manchester-based dealership. Mr. Best is understood to have been only too happy to promote his friend Mr. Anthony's business. The Acrylic White Rolls-Royce was also pictured outside Manchester United's Old Trafford grounds with its surprised owner turning round just as he was about to open the driver's door (doubtless in response to a shouted paparazzi request). Never one to hold on to cars or women for too long, George Best had use of a 1971 Jaguar E-Type V12 Fixed Head Coupe at around the same time (that we coincidentally sold for £49,000 in October 2015). Both cars were automatics, the transmission of choice for louche playboys, but the Rolls-Royce's 'Automatic Speed Control' gave it the edge in terms of sybaritic transport. Repainted since belonging to Best, the luxury saloon has also gained a Black vinyl roof covering (a 'must have' automotive accessory during the mid- / late-1970s) and later-style integral reversing lamps. However, the Silver Shadow still pleasingly retains its original steering wheel, Black leather upholstery and Grey Ambla headlining etc. Thus, any future custodian has the pleasure of knowing that he / she is not only driving a car that George Best owned in his heyday but also sitting on the very same leather!Acquired by its last registered keeper during 1994, chassis SRH 13549 has had some £22,000 spent on it over the last twenty-two years. Adorned with more aesthetically pleasing bumpers than their successors, first series Silver Shadows have become increasingly collectible of late (with post 1970 cars boasting both the more powerful engine and smoother transmission). Although not as cosmetically sharp as it once was, the Rolls-Royce possesses a current MOT certificate valid until 14th June 2017 and offers a new owner the chance of restoring it back to 'Best' specification.
Lot 2118
- Beautiful example restored in 2000s by Classic Restorations (Scotland) Ltd- Elegant Park Ward coachwork finished in grey with blue leather interior- Original owner G L Gambanis Esq. c/o Embiricos LtdAccording to its Bentley Works instruction sheet of May 30, 1947, chassis B.132.BH was originally assigned to the company's American agent, J S Inskip Inc, and the chosen specification suggests it could have been destined for the New York Motor Show of that year - a very similar example is known to have been displayed there previously. However, it seems there was a change of plan, and that name was subsequently crossed off the history card and replaced by that of G L Gambanis, c/o S G Embiricos Ltd of London. This was the UK headquarters of the Embiricos shipping line, a massive Greek family empire among whose number was the amateur racing driver Andr£ Embiricos who, with Bentley's encouragement, funded the building of the Georges Paulin-styled streamlined 4.25-Litre Bentley of 1939 that's become so famous as to be universally known as the 'Embiricos Bentley'.Gambanis, a director of S G Embiricos, evidently sought similar levels of perfection and the order for B.132.BH was revised better to suit the roads and climate of Europe than Eastern USA. The chosen coachbuilder was still Park Ward, but the revised list of special features now included: speedometer in kilometres; double filament headlamp bulbs; separate central lamp switch; a second wing-mounted wheel carrier; snow chains; locks to the bonnet and petrol filler; stainless steel stone guards; two suit cases; loose covers for the seats, doors and hood; GB plate; AA, RAC and Greek club badges; Ace wheel covers; cigar lighter. The car crossed from Dover to Boulogne on the SS Dinard on August 9, 1948 and was received by the owner 18 days later. The final invoice, including tax, was for £5,462 12s 2d.The factory records show subsequent owners as being H Gordon Bowsher of Stockbridge, Hants (March 1957); D J Ashbourne, South Benfleet, Essex (November 1958); and M I Dorman Brailsford of Crookham, Hants (June 1966). At some stage after this 'JYN 279' seems to have found its way the USA, where it ultimately spent 20 years vegetating in a Kentucky apple orchard and it was marque specialists, The Real Car Company, who repatriated it in 1994 and from whom it was purchased by A D Popple of Glasgow. It then underwent a much-needed restoration courtesy of Classic Restorations (Scotland) Ltd of Alyth, Perthshire, before being acquired by the vendor from their stand at the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club premier event of 2009. It has subsequently been maintained for the owner by Bentley specialist Harvey Wash of Colchester.This very desirable and eminently practical righthand drive Drophead Coupe is now beautifully presented with lustrous Grey coachwork, Black hood and contrasting Blue hide interior trim and carpets. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted 79,000 kilometers, and the only obvious departure from the car's original specification are the sympathetically styled flashing indicators. The Bentley is now offered complete with various items of correspondence, copies of the original chassis cards and factory records, Harvey Wash invoices, photos of the extensive restoration, original registration ('JYN 279') etc., and is no doubt capable of providing a lucky new keeper with many years of enjoyable, reliable motoring.Developed from its short-lived MKV model, Bentley's MKVI was the company's first post-war offering and the first to be offered with standard factory coachwork. However, there was still the option of purchasing a chassis to be clothed by one's coachbuilder of choice, and of the 5,202 examples made between 1946 and 1952, 1,012 featured Saloon or Drophead bodies from one of a dozen or so recognised Carrozzerias; of which Park Ward was a favourite and, of course, a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce itself.
