Registration No: LD54 OAC Chassis No: WBSBR92070PM96611 MOT: January 2025Finished in the handsome combination of Carbon Schwarz Metallic with Black leather upholstery and a matching soft-topOffered with owner wallet, handbook and replacement service bookFitted with CSL style alloy wheels finished in Gloss BlackCurrent V5C, a collection of invoices and old MOT certificatesc.81,800 recorded milesArguably the best sounding and best handling BMW M3s yet made, the E46 generation debuted at the March 2000 Geneva Salon. Styled by Ulf Weidhase, the newcomer was a deft blend of aggression and subtlety. Available in Coupe or Convertible guises, the E46 M3 was powered by a 3.2 litre DOHC straight-six engine allied to Getrag manual transmission. Interestingly, the latter could be specified with either a conventional or electro-hydraulically actuated clutch. Dubbed ‘SMG-II’ when shorn of a third pedal, it proved to be the fastest shifting gearbox in the world. Credited with developing some 343bhp and 269lbft of torque, the BMW was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and 155mph (limited). According to the M Registry, 13,052 Coupes and 7,234 Convertibles were built to RHD Euro-spec.First registered on 29th October 2004, this M3 was ordered finished in the handsome combination of Carbon Schwarz Metallic with Black leather upholstery and a matching soft-top. Delivered new to H R Owen Chelsea confirmed by the BMW group printout that accompanies the car, the interior luxury includes heated electrically operated front seats, AC, a radio with Harman Kardon speakers and Bluetooth. Sending power to the road through CSL-style alloy wheels finished in Gloss Black, the M3 displays a mileage of some 81,800. Offered with an owner's wallet, handbook and replacement service book, there's a current V5C Registration Document, a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates.

Registration No: KND 322N Chassis No: 1266620 MOT: ExemptTwo owners from new, one in Czechoslovakia and one in the United KingdomDesirable 110 LS variant using the 110 R Coupe high compression engineLavished with a full ‘nut and bolt’ restoration between August 2013 and November 2014Highly attractive original colour scheme of Turquoise (5187) paintwork with Black vinyl interior upholsteryDebuting in 1969 as reskinned and refined versions of their 1000 MB and 1100 MB forebears, Skoda’s 100 and 110 saloon cars utilised the same monocoque construction, all-round independent suspension and rear-engined / rear-wheel drive layout. Notable as the marque’s first model range to achieve over 1,000,000 sales, the 1-litre 100 and 1.1-litre 110 boasted more standard equipment than Western equivalents such as the Ford Cortina and Hillman Minx. Sharing its high compression engine with the revered 110 R Coupe, the 110 LS Saloon was among the rarest variants with a mere 40,057 being completed between 1971 and 1976. Although such scarcity did not stop the FIA homologating it for Group 1 events.Manufactured new in 1974 and supplied to the home market (of the then) Czechoslovakia, this 110 LS resided there until 2013 in the ownership of just one individual. Upon his passing, the first owner’s family sold the Škoda to the vendor in the United Kingdom, arriving here in August 2013, with the vendor immediately embarking on a full ‘nut and bolt’ restoration of chassis ‘1266620’. Finding the Škoda notably solid with only localised welding required to areas such as the sills, subframe mounting, and jacking points, panels required were three new doors, new front and rear wings, with all new panels genuine new old stock Škoda parts. The 110 LS was then provided with a full repaint in its highly attractive and original colour of Turquoise (5187), confirmed by the Skoda museum in Mlada Boleslav, which was found in the panel gaps under the poorly applied Blue which was presented before the shell was stripped to bare metal.Thereafter, the engine was completely overhauled including a new head and the twin-pot calipers refreshed, the gearbox was also fully reconditioned. The suspension, front brake discs and rear brakes, and steering were all renewed, before the original interior (which restored well) was refitted, with numerous new old stock trim parts were acquired for the exterior finishing. The restoration was completed in November 2014 with the Škoda provided with its first MOT that month. Since used for shows and events, the 110 LS has covered some 3,800 miles since the restoration’s completion.Featured in ‘Classics’ magazine shortly after the restoration’s completion, ‘KND 322N’ is offered with a history file that includes copy of the magazine, copy of the Czechoslovakian logbook, original sales literature, drivers and maintenance manual, a large collection of invoices, restoration images, and a current V5C document. Rated by the vendor as having ‘very good’ interior trim, the vendor rates the 110 LS as having ‘excellent’ bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment. Exceedingly rare on these shores, this top-performance Saloon variant in a fabulous colour scheme is a great way to be different in the classic car world!

Registration No: ML59 XEJ Chassis No: SHHFN23809U000304 MOT: October 2025Just one owner and offered directly from that ownerWarranted c.3,300 miles from newNumber 29 of approximately 600 Championship White Editions reputedly supplied to the UKCompletely unmolested and originalUndoubtedly one for the collector – find another!Described as ‘the most involving and rewarding performance hatchback on the market thanks to its lightweight, razor-sharp steering and a perfectly balanced chassis’, the Honda Civic is fast becoming a vehicle for the collector. The FN2 Civic Type R arrived in the UK in 2007, gone was the previous car’s floating dashboard with high-mounted gearshift; a wide, expansive dash now took its place, with a raised centre console, clusters of switches grouped close to the steering wheel and a split-level instrument cluster placing the speedometer just below the bottom of the windscreen. The powertrain was very similar to that of the previous EP3, with the same 1998cc 2-litre K20 four-cylinder VTEC engine under the bonnet. Producing 198bhp, the FN2 had a deeper, richer sound and also felt more refined. The last naturally aspirated Type R produced, the FN2 is surely one for the history books.The Championship White Edition cost an additional £1,140 above the standard Type R and featured an all-White colour scheme and a limited-slip differential. The paint was chosen to pay homage to the Type R's heritage and the differential ensured a more accurate driving experience. Very well received; one review described the Championship as "one of the most agile and engaging hot hatches around, offering masses of grip and precise, communicative steering", placing it above a Mountune Focus ST and Golf GTI Pirelli in a group test. No wonder they proved popular; with approximately 600 Championship White Edition examples sold in the United Kingdom.Supplied new by ALM Garage Honda of Macclesfield to its first and only owner, ‘ML59 XEJ’ was registered new on the 30th November 2009 and is number ‘0029’ of the Championship Editions. Benefitting from the GT pack (which came standard on Championship cars) consisting of cruise control, dual-zone climate control, electric folding mirrors, cooled airbox, fog lights, and automatic wipers, the Type R has been used incredibly sparingly throughout the vendor’s ownership, with a mere c.3,300 warranted miles from new having been amassed across the fifteen-year custodianship. Now offered for sale directly from the sole owner, the Civic is a completely unmolested and original example.Accompanied to sale by the original book pack with owner’s manual and service book presented in the Honda wallet, as well as purchase documentation including the purchase invoice and order form, numerous previous MOT certificates showing excellent advisory history and V5C document showing no former keepers. In addition, ‘ML59 XEJ’ boasts the original dealer number plates, rear windscreen sticker and original accessories. Rated as ‘excellent’ throughout (comprising engine, gearbox, electrics, bodywork, paintwork, and interior), finding another with this mileage is surely unrepeatable and this example would be a great addition to any collection!

Registration No: FCH 880 Chassis No: B24WH MOT: ExemptSupplied new to Winston F. Martin Esq. of Healthguard Knitwear and reputedly later owned by the business tycoon Peter de SavaryPart of a private collection in recent years and employed for the occasional film and TV role including the Four Seasons mini-series (2008)Running and driving but in need of further mechanical recommissioning and a repaintWorthy of a return to its former gloryAn obvious evolution of its MKVI predecessor, the Bentley R-Type was introduced at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show. Switching from riveted to welded frame construction at chassis B349TO, the newcomer featured independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes (hydraulic front / rod rear). Powered by a 'big bore' 4566cc straight-six inlet-over-exhaust engine allied to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission, the R-type was a surprisingly strong performer, able to reach more than 100mph. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its high-speed handling and well-appointed interior, the model remained in production until 1955 by which time some 2,320 are thought to have been made (though, only 303 of those bore coachbuilt bodies). A decidedly rare motorcar, ‘FCH 880’ is understood to be one of just nine Bentley R-Type chassis to be clothed by Park Ward to its Design Number 552. A handsome four-seater Drophead Coupe with a power roof, well-resolved bustle boot and flowing wings, it was singularly expensive (especially when compared to a contemporary Aston Martin or Jaguar). Supplied new to Winston F. Martin Esq of the Healthguard Knitwear Company, the Bentley is thought to have spent time overseas before being re-registered with the DVLA during 1991. Further believed to have belonged to the noted collector and business tycoon Peter de Savary Esq, the R-Type entered the preceding family ownership some twenty-four years ago. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work, the Drophead Coupe helped earn its keep by appearing in the 2005 film ‘The Wedding Date’ and the 2008 TV mini-series ‘Four Seasons’. Showing just 71,000 unwarranted miles to its odometer, ‘FCH 880’ appears to have covered circa 200 of those since last passing a MOT test. Got running and driving this Spring after several years’ slumber thanks to the fitment of an aftermarket starter motor and jury-rigged fuel system, the Bentley will require additional mechanical work prior to any road use. Although running and driving, it will doubtless require further mechanical work and servicing etc. Cosmetically, the Grey leather upholstery, wood veneers and soft-top are all in good order (albeit the power mechanism for the latter is not currently functioning). However, the plating has worn thin to the top of the radiator grille and the paintwork is heavily microblistered. A known Bentley collector, the vendor purchased this scarce and very elegant coachbuilt R-Type via our April 24th 2024 Buxton auction for £37,125. However, declining health has prompted him to rethink his plans hence its return to market. A wonderful opportunity especially for the more ‘hands on’ enthusiast!

Registration No: CUF 202C Chassis No: VRS33173 MOT: Exempt1 of just c.6,555 examples madeOffered with an extensive history fileDisplaying only c.36,000 credible milesFirst registered in April 1965. Supplied new by Stringers of BrightonAnnounced in August 1964, the Princess 4-Litre R featured a Rolls-Royce, all-aluminium, 175bhp engine enabling an unusually high power-to-weight ratio enabling cruising at 90mph and a top speed in period of 112mph. The engine was the product of over two years of technical collaboration between BMC and Rolls-Royce. Twin SU carburettors were fitted, both the cylinder block and head were aluminium, tappets were hydraulic self-adjusting operating on overhead valves configuration and the counter-balanced crankshaft ran in seven main bearings, reducing vibration. Pricing aimed at challenging the MkX Jaguar was a major change of market positioning, aiming at growth in the prestige and executive market segments of Europe and the United States. The 4.0 R was luxurious with polished walnut fascia, padded top and bottom, fully reclinable leather seats and polished picnic tables for the rear passengers. A new automatic transmission was provided by Borg-Warner; its first use in a British car, and Hydrosteer variable-ratio power steering accompanied wider tyres.Purchased on 22nd April 1965, ‘CUF’ was supplied new by Stringers of Brighton as one of just c.6,555 examples produced. A Mr Letts of Brighton was the registered keeper until his passing in 1985 and the transfer of ownership to a family member who kept it until 2011. The car was in storage from 1992 until 2010, at which point it was put back on the road. Recommissioned with a brake overhaul, new fuel tank and a carburettor overhaul, bodywork restoration and a repaint commenced sometime in early 2012. ‘CUF’ then passed into the custodianship of subsequent owners from Southampton to Southport before coming to our vendor in June 2019 with some mechanical fettling initiated.The 4-Litre has only covered some 36,000 credible miles from new, with some 30 old MOTs on record in the history file and receipts dating back to 1968, going some way to verify the very low mileage. The 4-Litre has clocked up only some 1,024 miles in the last 13 years, according to the DVSA records. ‘CUF’ is offered with an extensive history file, an original brochure and a booklet for the original Radiomobile radio, a Vanden Plas Owner’s Club Dating Certificate, MOT certificates dating back to 1968, a collection of invoices and the Passport to Service.

Registration No: G5 VTT Chassis No: CY20228G MOT: May 2025Believed to be a Japanese-market example that was first registered in the UK in 2019Offered with its owner’s manuals and service book, its import paperwork, and the current V5CFinished in Quicksilver complemented with a Black leather interiorPowered by a naturally aspirated 5.7-litre V8A discernible improvement on its predecessor, the fifth generation or C5 Corvette was introduced in 1996. Commendably light and stiff, its hydroformed box frame chassis played host to composite transverse-leaf independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Powered by a new alloy 5.7-litre LS1 V8 engine, initially rated at 345hp/350lbft, the powerplant was increased to 350hp/365lbft for the 2001 model year. The C5 Corvette Convertible was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 164mph. Proof of the design's fundamental soundness, the racing C5-R versions were regular class winners at the Le Mans 24-hours.'G5 VTT' is believed it could have been a Japanese-market example, first registered in May 2001. It is also thought to have spent some time in the US, as indicated by a Carfax report which evidences servicing in Iowa in 2016. It is then thought to have returned to Japan, before being imported into the UK in June 2019. The odometer shows approximately 55,437 miles, athough this is not warranted. Powered by a naturally aspirated 5.7-litre V8, delivering 339bhp and 356lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic gearbox, it now rides on an aftermarket set of 19-inch front and 20-inch rear Cray Corvette-engineered alloy wheels, finished in Gloss Black with polished rims, which are fitted with Continental SportContact 7 tyres. Equipment includes a head-up display, cruise control, electric windows, air conditioning, electrically adjustable seats, a Bose sound system and a trip computer. The instruments are export specification with a speedo that toggles from MPH to KMS etc.The Corvette's last MOT test was conducted on 14th May 2024 at 54,098 miles (87,063km), resulting in a first-time pass with no advisories and the most recent maintenance was carried out in June 2024 at 54,871 miles by AJR. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change plus a general vehicle inspection. Prior to this, the car was serviced in February 2024 at 53,287 miles and in March 2023 at 49,800 miles, both of which were routine maintenance services. The seller notes that the brake fluid has also been changed during their ownership. It will be supplied with its owner’s manuals and service book, as well as the manual for the Pioneer system, two sets of keys with fobs, its import paperwork and the V5C.

Another, with a different shaped finial, is in the Museum of Royal Worcester, illustrated by Branyan, French and Sandon (1989), pattern I.B.22. When Branyan, French and Sandon compiled their Blue and White book in 1980, this pattern was named 'Indian Fisherman' because one of the authors thought the figure on the front had a feather in their hair, looking like a stereotypical character from a Western film. The pattern is actually a fancy version of the design on cups and saucers called the 'Fisherman and Willow Pavilion'. The figure used in the larger panels on teapots and on jugs, is clearly a Chinese fisherman and not a Native American. When the Museum of Royal Worcester updated its case labelling, a more appropriate name was proposed. The preferred name is now 'The Angler under a Willow Branch' pattern.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Four were discovered at a house in Higham and in 1987 four blue-green tinted examples were sold at an auction in Beccles.

An early Worcester bottle vase, circa 1753Of simple flattened hexagonal shape, painted in colours with a 'Waiting Chinaman' standing with his arms folded in front of a low cobbled stone wall flanked by formal plants, the reverse with a simple spray of daisy-like flowers, 12.2cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceSir Anthony Tuke CollectionWith Brian Haughton Antiques, 10 December 2015The Waiting Chinaman pattern was perfectly suited to this popular shape of bottle vase, and many examples were made during a very short period of production early in the 1750s. A pair of bottles in this pattern from the Billie Pain Collection was sold by Bonhams on 26 November 2003, lots 114 and 115. Another bottle was in the R David Butti Collection, sold by Bonhams on 10 May 2006, lot 9.
