Registration No: UPL 141F Chassis No: DB6/3276/R MOT: Exempt • Stalled restoration project with much work already completed • A matching numbers example originally specified with five-speed ZF Manual transmission • British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate on file confirming that the car was originally supplied in Deep Carriage Green over Red • Offered with a collection of invoices for works performed to date Unveiled at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was notable for being the first Aston Martin model to be engineered following the company's move from Feltham to Newport Pagnell. Although, a direct development of the DB5, with the same visage, the newcomer enjoyed notably better high-speed stability thanks to the provision of a Kamm tail with built-in spoiler, and superior interior space courtesy of a 3.7-inch longer wheelbase and taller roofline. Grafted over a sheet steel platform chassis, the four-seater's hand-finished aluminium panels helped contribute to the claimed kerb weight of 3,232lbs that was actually only 17lbs heavier than its predecessor. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its poise and handling, the DB6 employed all-round coil-sprung suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by the fabulous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine, the model boasted some 282bhp and 280lbft of torque in standard tune and could be had with five-speed ZF manual or three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. A contemporary road test found a manual DB6 to be capable of 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds and 150mph. A total of 1,327 MkI Saloons were produced between October 1965 and the MkII's July 1969 arrival. According to the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate on file, chassis DB6/3276/R was built on the 31st October 1967 and despatched to HR Owen Limited, London on 20th December 1967 where it was first registered as 'UPL 141F'. Originally supplied in the attractive and unusual colour combination of Deep Carriage Green paintwork over a Red Leather interior and was specified from the factory with a five-speed ZF gearbox. Little is known of the DB6's early life, however it is understood that the previous owner found the car as a complete project in 2018 with the intention of carrying out a complete restoration. Much of the car was found to be corroded, including most, if not all, of the Aluminium panel work - an aged photograph on file suggests that there was a large hole that had been cut in the offside front wing! Purchased by the vendor in 2020, the car had already been stripped for restoration and was found to be in need of much welding work - so therefore the Aston's body was taken to Martin Wilcox (the renowned metalwork artist of Z-Lines vehicle restoration) who fitted complete steel front and rear chassis sections from R&J Simpson and has removed all of the corrosion from elsewhere. The famous Tadek Marek designed six-cylinder, twin-cam power unit was stripped for overhaul and machining work was entrusted to the Head Shop in Warrington, Cheshire, who overhauled the cylinder head and bored out the block to 4.2 Litre with matching pistons to suit. However, the engine has remained in a disassembled state ever since, with its overhauled SU carburettors and ZF gearbox also being present. Now presented as an incredible opportunity for any prospective buyer to build one of the great David Brown era Astons to their specification, DB6/3276/R is now available to market with much of the hard work having been completed. Supplied with a number of invoices on file, the original chassis number plate stating the original engine number (which is confirmed to be matching the block stamping) and also a hoard of extra parts. We recommend that any interested parties view this lot in person to satisfy themselves about its condition. PLEASE NOTE: 'UPL 141F' no longer appears when typed into the DVLA online vehicle check and there is no V5C present with the history file - however a HPI check on the chassis number has confirmed the link and has shown a clean record. Prospective bidders should make their own enquiries and be aware that they will need to apply for a new registration document.

Registration No: A6 LWL Chassis No: SCBZP03C6SCH55105 MOT: May 2025 • 1 of just 1,211 TL examples reputedly produced • Modest mileage of 81,000 miles from new • Attractive colour scheme of Red Pearl (Mica) with complementary Sandstone hide with St James Red piping • Benefitting from some £19,500 worth of expenditure since 2020 Introduced at the 1982 Geneva Motor Show, the Mulsanne Turbo signalled a revival in the winged 'B's fortunes. Somewhat raffish when compared to its Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit sibling, the Turbo breathed new life into Bentley sales. Indeed, in some ways, this glorious automotive wolf in (large) sheep's clothing can be credited with inspiring Bentley's victorious return to Le Mans. With some 300bhp courtesy of its force-fed 6.75 litre V8, the Mulsanne Turbo was reputedly capable of an easy 135mph and 0-60mph in under seven seconds. Although, for those not wishing to indulge in such prodigious performance, its smooth automatic transmission and supple independent suspension also allowed for more dignified progress. Debuting in March 1985, the evolutionary Turbo R provided an altogether more focused driving experience. Benefiting from an uprated torque converter, more horsepower, stiffer anti-roll bars and firmer damping, its handling drew considerable praise from the contemporary motoring press. Enjoying greater rear legroom, the long wheelbase RL variant is thought to have accounted for some 1,211 sales before the second generation Turbo R / RL arrived in 1994. Supplied new by Lancaster Europa Rolls-Royce and Bentley, being delivered on the 15th of August 1994, the Turbo RL was finished from the factory in the attractive colour scheme of Red Pearl (Mica) with complementary Sandstone hide with St James Red piping. Understood to have been used as transport between a United Kingdom home and a second home in Belgium by a previous owner, the long wheelbase Turbo is now offered having covered a modest c.81,700 miles from new with just five former keepers. Benefitting from a significant expenditure to the sum of over £19,500 since 2020, the Turbo RL has received a top-end engine overhaul; skimmed cylinder heads; new head gaskets, renewal of the cooling equipment and reconditioning of the radiator; a new lower steering column; new front brake discs and pads; new front springs and shock absorbers; a new brake accumulator; and servicing amongst further improvement with much of the work completed by specialists Prestige Services. Offered with the original owner's handbook, stamped service book, the recent and older invoices, collection of MOT certificates, no advisory MOT certificate until May 2025, and a current V5C document. In regular use with the vendor, the Turbo RL is due to be driven some eighty miles to the sale. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: L842 YCV Chassis No: RCH 54835 MOT: November 2024 • Just 25,000 miles from new and 1 former keeper • Offered with extensive Bentley service history • Supplied new by Bentley main agent Majestic Garage of Bournemouth • Offered from a deceased estate • Purchased from our July 2022 sale for £31,500 The Bentley Brooklands was introduced in 1992 as a replacement for the Bentley Mulsanne and Bentley Eight models. It was intended as a slightly cheaper alternative to the Bentley Turbo R featuring the same styling, underpinnings of the Rolls-Royce 6.75 litre, V8 engine but without the more powerful model's turbocharger. The Brooklands continued Bentley's design theme which was also used on contemporary Rolls-Royce vehicles throughout the 1980's and early 1990's. The exterior design featured the classic Bentley grill as well as dual headlights with wrap-around parking lights. As with many Bentley and Rolls-Royce vehicles, the Brooklands also featured the trademark descending boot lid and chrome B-pillars. The interior remained relatively unchanged from previous Bentley models but with a more curvaceous design element surrounding the leather-wrapped centre console. This 1994 right-hand drive example of the Brooklands is resplendent in Dark Metallic Green coachwork with tasteful Cream leather interior highlighted with contrasting piping on its electric-memory seats. The car has only one previous owner and has covered less than 25,000 miles, supplied new by Bentley main agent Majestic Garage of Bournemouth and serviced every year by Broughtons Bentley of Cheltenham, as detailed in the original service record. ‘L842 YCV’ has been carefully maintained and cared for and comes complete with the service book, owner's manual, tool kits and an original Bentley battery trickle charger. We are delighted to present this magnificent luxury saloon with incredibly low mileage and an excellent service history, the likes of which rarely comes to market. The car comes back to market once more, sadly, following the passing of the owner, and having seen little use, having been purchased from our July 2022 Buxton sale for £31,500 from the original owner from new. A great opportunity to own it if you missed it the first time round. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: SA55 HRO Chassis No: VF1CM0M0634145830 MOT: May 2025 • Only c.65,500 miles from new and just four former keepers • Desirable colour combination with Renault F1 Team Decals • Offered with the original stamped service book Introduced in September 2004, the first generation Mégane RS was available in three-door and five-door hatchback versions, both with the same engine, and was built at Renault's Dieppe factory by using body shells made in Palencia, Spain. The Mégane Renault Sport 225 used double-axis strut suspension with independent steering axis at the front. Powered by a four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine tuned to produce 225bhp, the car is capable of sprinting from 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds, before going on to a top speed of 147mph. Aimed at the potent SEAT Leon Cupra R and Honda's Civic Type R, it is distinguished by flared wheelarches, twin exhausts, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Manufactured in 2004, the 225 RenaultSport offered, was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 6th of September that year. Finished in Blue with Renault F1 Team decals, the Mégane benefits from a Black interior upholstery. Having had just four former keepers, ‘SA55 HRO’ has covered a modest mileage of just some 65,500 miles from new. Last serviced by the owner last year, with very minimal miles covered since, it is offered with a history file that contains the book pack including the stamped service book, the file also has a collection of invoices, a selection of previous MOTs, a no advisory MOT until May next year, and a current V5C document, the Renault also has two sets of keys.

Registration No: P566 BPJ Chassis No: SCBZE20C5VCH59348 MOT: October 2024 • Just 53,000 miles from new • Finished in the striking Wildberry Mica paintwork with Magnolia leather upholstery • Supplied with the stamped service book The Bentley Brooklands was introduced in 1992 as a replacement for the Bentley Mulsanne and Bentley Eight models. It was intended as a slightly cheaper alternative to the Bentley Turbo R featuring the same styling, underpinnings of the Rolls-Royce 6.75 litre, V8 engine but without the more powerful model's turbocharger. The Brooklands continued Bentley's design theme which was also used on contemporary Rolls-Royce vehicles throughout the 1980's and early 1990's. The exterior design featured the classic Bentley grill as well as dual headlights with wrap-around parking lights. As with many Bentley and Rolls-Royce vehicles, the Brooklands also featured the trademark descending boot lid and chrome B-pillars. The interior remained relatively unchanged from previous Bentley models but with a more curvaceous design element surrounding the leather-wrapped centre console. In the autumn of 1996, Brooklands received an update in a form of light-pressure turbo, boosting power output to 300 bhp. Chassis ‘59348’ was manufactured in 1996 and was supplied via Rolls-Royce main agent Weybridge Automobiles on the 8th of November that year. Finished in the delightful colour of Wildberry Mica paintwork with a complementary Magnolia hide interior upholstery, which has resided in the current ownership since 2019, and is now offered with just 53,000 miles from new on the odometer. Supplied with the original owner’s handbook and service book, which show six stamps, the most recent service being completed at approximately 48,500 miles. Further accompanied to sale by a collection of previous MOT certificates, a no advisory MOT certificate until October 2024, tax discs, and a current V5C document.

Lot 161
Letter signed by Lord Palmerston to Lieut R Blake regarding the award of a military pension of £70pa to the recipient who lost his left leg during the Peninsular War. The letter comes with a handwritten diary and chronological account of Blake-Humfrey's life written by him in the 1870s. The account includes a description of the action during which Lieut Blake was wounded and records that Lord Wellington was passing by at the time and, seeing a number of men surrounding the wounded Blake, assumed that it might have involved a senior officer and sent his ADC to investigate. Having been informed that it was a junior officer Lord Wellington carried on but arranged for his surgeon to attend the wounded man. The account also records that the troops embarked for Spain in 1813 and during a delay due to bad weather in the Channel, a mutiny amongst soldiers and seaman broke out due to a grievance over the drinking of "grog." The troopship was boarded by men from a Royal Navy frigate nearby and the chief instigators taken away in irons.As well as the military action, the diary is a fascinating insight into the life of Norfolk landed gentry in the 19th century. Blake records various visits to family relatives mainly clergy around Norfolk and Norfolk events; Wroxham water frolics, visits to Cromer, Norwich etc, In 1837 he was chosen to represent the Parish of Swafield at the Union Board of Tunstead attending weekly meetings of the Board at Smallburgh Poor House. Provenance, the Mason family archives, Lieut Blake changed his name to Blake-Humfrey on inheriting Wroxham rectory from Revd Humfrey in 1847 and the family subsequently changed their name to Mason on inheriting Necton Hall in the mid-19th century. See other items from the family archive in this sale. some wear to handwritten diary
