1957 Bentley S1 (E-series) SaloonRegistration Number: RCE 363Chassis Number: B34EGEngine Number: BE17Designed to replace the outgoing Bentley R-Type and Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, the all-new Bentley S-Type and Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud models were introduced in early 1955. The cars featured sleeker bodywork on a new separate chassis and incorporated better braking and suspension with electrically controlled damping. The improved 4.9-litre I.O.E six-cylinder engine was identical in specification in its Rolls and Bentley forms, and by 1957, automatic transmission had become standard equipment. With comfortable 100mph-plus performance, it was also relatively affordable to run, making it arguably the most 'user-friendly' of all post-war Bentleys.Affectionately known as 'Douglas' by the Tanners, RCE 363 was Cambridgeshire-registered from new in January 1957. Reputedly having just one previous owner (unconfirmed), Alex Tanner purchased the car from the Horseheath, Cambridge, area and carried out some light restoration work prior to use.In generally fair to average cosmetic condition, the car is finished in metallic dark blue with a red coach line, and the faded oxblood/brown leather interior also features red carpets.Much like a lovely comfortable leather Chesterfield, 'Douglas' was much enjoyed and very much considered part of the family. An extremely affordable entry into 'proper' Bentley ownership, it has a recorded mileage of 59,049 miles. Paperwork includes a current V5C registration document. Condition ReportThe car is being sold on behalf of the executors of the estate and as such Sworders have provided extended viewing over 5-days to give potential buyers every opportunity to satisfy themselves of the condition.The car has been started regularly by an in-house mechanic, however, the history file is sparse.There is a video of it running and i haven't seen any obvious leaks, or been witness to any starting issues when the car has been moved.The underside has been rust proofed and there appears to be no obvious issues in the vulnerable areas behind the front wheels and in front of the back wheels.A large number of extra images of the underside have been added.
1989 Bentley Turbo RRegistration number: A8 WCBChassis number SCBZRO4A3KCH25874Mileage: 85,000In 1989, 'Motor Trend' magazine stated that the new (to the US) Turbo R was the first Bentley in decades to be deserving of the famous name. The 'Turbo' part of the name was self-explanatory and added proper performance to the 6.75 litre fuel-injected V8. The 'R' stood for 'Roadholding', with uprated anti-roll bars, much better damping and a panhard rod giving improved axle location. The Turbo R was notable for being the first Bentley to wear alloy wheels as standard, while twin round headlights and a deeper front spoiler were facelift features for the 1989 model year, introduced mid-1988. In the present ownership since May 2001, this gloss black Turbo R has been a firm family favourite and very much-loved and enjoyed. With only 39 miles covered since the last MoT, the recorded mileage was 84,770 miles at the time of cataloguing. Recently MoT-tested, expiring 22 May 2024, documentation with the car includes an invoice from Overton Vehicle Overhauls relating to replacement of the front springs and bushes in 2017, handbooks and service records, and includes a V5C registration certificate.Condition ReportThis is an honest vehicle in original condition, i notice some light surface rust along the panels behind the back wheels and around the inner wheel arches, there were no MOT advisories.The seats are in good condition with expected wear comensurate with the age and mileage.We couldn't make the air conditioning work, so may need repressurising.The car was driven to the auction and the comment from the driver was how smooth and responsive the car was.The history file is sparse with only two invoices for service and repairs in 2017 and another in 2014.

Henry Somerset, fifth Earl of Worcester was, by repute, the richest man in England, and Raglan Castle, furnished in the most lavish style, was the centre of a vast estate. He donated huge sums to the royalist cause, for which he was created first Marquess of Worcester in 1642. Charles I sought refuge at Raglan from June to September 1645 after the battle of Naseby, and the castle was the last important garrison to surrender at the end of the civil war – 'first fortified and last surrendered' - on 19 August 1646, when, despite heavy fortifications, part of its Great Tower was destroyed.

NELSON (HORATIO) Autograph letter signed ('Horatio Nelson') written with his right hand, to the Navy agents Marsh & Creed ('Gentlemen'), asking them to '...send the enclosed instantly to the Duke of Clarence, I have only to say we must again beat the French fleet they have got reinforcements...', address panel on verso, remains of red wax seal, docketed as received on 20 May 1795, ownership inscription 'R.W. Hinxman', one page, cut away at foot with slight loss to address on verso, light dust-staining, creased, seal tear, note of provenance tipped on, 171 x 204mm., [no place but St. Fiorenzo, Corsica], 16 April 1795 Footnotes: 'SEND THE ENCLOSED INSTANTLY TO THE DUKE OF CLARENCE': NELSON URGENTLY SEEKS REINFORCEMENTS AS THE FRENCH FLEET POSE A THREAT AFTER THE BATTLE OF GENOA. Whilst our covering letter is not published in Nicolas, it may be safely assumed that the letter to which it refers is Nelson's letter to the Duke of Clarence of the same date (Nicolas, Dispatches and Letters, Vol.2, p.30). In it, Nelson reiterates that the French have received reinforcements from Brest and that the outnumbered English fleet have been kept there by 'contrary winds'. He goes on to say that with just three further ships he is confident that: '...we shall prevent this Fleet of the Enemy from doing further service in the Mediterranean, notwithstanding the red-hot shot and combustibles, of which they have had a fair trial, and found them useless...'. Provenance: R. W. Hinxman; presented to the Ware family of Tilford, Surrey in 1847; thence by descent to the present owner, with note of provenance. Saleroom notices: The letter was presented to the Ware family by Rowley Willes Hinxman (1831-1906) who inherited it on the death of his father, the navy agent, entrepreneur and art collector John Hinxman (b.1794) in 1847.

A fine post-war military division O.B.E., Second War ‘1944’ night fighter Radar Operator/Navigator’s D.F.C. group of six awarded to Flight Lieutenant K. Dear, Royal Air Force, who flew on many operational sorties in Beaufighters and Mosquitoes with Nos 125, 141 and 239 Squadrons - the latter two being Special Duties Squadrons, flying Serrate operations. Dear is credited with 3 enemy aircraft destroyed, 2 damaged, and 2 trains also damaged. Both he and his pilots frequently suffered heavy damage to their aircraft - and on 10 April 1944, Dear and Squadron Leader J. S. Booth had to parachute to safety after their Mosquito’s starboard engine had caught fire The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, O.B.E. (Military) Officer’s 2nd type, breast badge, silver-gilt; Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1944’; 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star, 1 clasp, France and Germany; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, generally good very fine (6) £2,600-£3,000 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, September 2000 (another incorrectly assembled group which was possibly named up with the intent to deceive, lacking original documentation, and has been subsequently discredited, appeared for sale in 2007) O.B.E. London Gazette 1 January 1959. D.F.C. London Gazette 14 November 1944. The original recommendation states: ‘‘Flight Lieutenant K. Dear joined this Squadron on 11.12.44 and has flown as Navigator/Radio with S/Ldr. J. S. Booth, D.F.C., on 23 operational sorties since that date. Prior to joining No. 239 (B.S.) Squadron, F/Lt. Dear has completed a tour with No. 125 Squadron and commenced a 2nd tour with 141 Squadron. His record on arrival here comprised one Ju.88 destroyed, one Ju.88 damaged and one Me.110 damaged. His two victories with S/Ldr. Booth on 7.7.44 when two Me.110’s were destroyed near Meaux and Compiegne bringing his total to three enemy aircraft destroyed and two damaged.’ Kenneth Dear was born in 1909 at Teddington, Middlesex, and was educated at Kingston Grammar School. He commenced aircrew training in October 1941 and joined 125 (Newfoundland) Squadron in February 1942, flying as a Beaufighter Radio Observer. A night fighter squadron, Dear was primarily crewed with Flight Lieutenant (later Squadron Leader) J. R. A. Bailey as his pilot. Despite frequently flying on Ops, Dear’s log book often states ‘No Trade’ at this point of the war. Commissioned into the R.A.F.V.R. on 1 July 1942, he was credited with damaging a Ju.88 20 miles west of Swansea on 20 September, and shortly after 0830 hours on 10 November 1942 shot down a Ju.88 in to the North Sea 118 miles east of Montrose with his pilot Flight Lieutenant Bailey, but not without the following battle damage to their own aircraft: ‘Hole in each wing inboard of engine - both spars damaged. Two bullets in port engine. Hole in starboard side of tail plane - spar damaged. Two holes in starboard perspex, and one through hydraulic tank and instrument panel. Three holes also in nose ...’ Spitfires of 164 Squadron’s Blue Section escorted the crippled Beaufighter safely home to Peterhead. Completing his first tour in March 1943, Dear was rested with attachments to the 415th Squadron, U.S.A.A.C., at Cranfield, and 488 (New Zealand) Squadron at Ayr. In October 1943 he joined 141 Squadron at Wittering, and on 16 December 1943, with Squadron Leader F. Lambert piloting Mosquito 659, damaged an Me.110 in the Berlin area whilst on bomber escort duty. Serrate Radar operations had begun with 141 Squadron in September 1943, with modifications being made all the time: ‘On 7 January the first Mosquito with the new modifications was flown to Hatfield from West Raynham for final approval by de Havilland, while Wing Commander Roberts drove to Radlett to expedite the delivery of new equipment. Three days later, a completed Mosquito went to each of the three Serrate squadrons. Nos. 239 and 169 were still under training but two Mosquitoes in 141 Squadron were aloft on Serrate duty on 14/15 January when 498 bombers hit Brunswick, of which a staggering total of thirty-eight failed to return. Almost predictably there were problems with the Serrate Mosquitoes. The Mk II crewed by Squadron Leader Freddie Lambert and Flying Officer Ken Dear suffered a port engine failure 20 miles inland of the Dutch coast and was forced to land on one engine at Coltishall.’ (Confounding The Reich, The RAF’s Secret War of Electronic Countermeasures in WWII, The Story of 100 (Special Duties) Group RAF Bomber Command 1943-45, by M. W. Bowman and T. Cushing refers) In February 1944, Dear was posted as Navigator to 239 (Special Duties) Squadron - a Serrate and Perfectos unit of 100 ‘Confound and Destroy’ Group, which waged war by scientific as well as conventional means. On 10 April 1944 Squadron Leader J. S. Booth ordered him to bale out at 6,000 feet over Walsingham when their Mosquito’s starboard engine caught fire. Both pilot and navigator landed safely to continue their ‘extra-routine’ activities with 239. Dear flew in a large number of Serrate operations in June 1944, including on D-Day itself: ‘Serrate - Support of Bombing Behind Beachhead. Patrol: Dunkirk - Paris - Chartres - Granville - Rouen - Abbeville - Calais’ (Log Book refers). On the night of 7 July 1944, during a sixty minute patrol of the Paris area in support of raids on Vaires and St Leu, Dear and Booth pulled off their celebrated double Me.110 kill, and on 1 September added to their tally by inflicting ‘Cat. B’ damage on trains north of Meppel and south of Leeuwarden, Holland. Squadron Leader Dear remained in the R.A.F. until retirement in 1959.
