Condition Report: - Born in Whitby, the son of a boot and shoe shop proprietor. Dick married Margaret Main in South Shields 1901 and lived at the Boot and shoe shop until 1905, when his theatrical work took him to Birmingham then Liverpool and finally Wallasey in 1911. He was always involved in amateur theatrics, focusing on the variety/revue genre and appeared as a comedian, straight man and cast member. His first notable professional engagement was with “Roker Perriots” in 1900, when the cast included stars to be Harry Weldon and Bert Weston. At the commencement of the First World War, he interspersed his Army service with writing and wrote his first revue “Laughs and Ladies” for Harry Russell - it was an instant success.From then on, he was commissioned to write and produce revues for many well-known stage personalities. His shows included; “The Kellys and the Cohens”, “Mr Mustard’s Millions” and “On Velvet” written for the famous Tyneside comedian Wal Langtry (this also featured his famous song “Wheel Him In” written by Dick Batch which has copyright entries both here and America).The Derby Castle Theatre in the Isle of Man was home for a number of years for his summer shows “Oceans of Joy”, “Oceans of Notions” and the “Laugh Mixture”. During this time, he also wrote “The Spare Room” - a sketch featuring Jimmy James, which has appeared on stage, on the radio and as a talkie (for which there was some discussion on copyright), “Ask Billy” - which Dick considered his best sketch, and “Peter Henery Brown” for Tessie O’Shea - which she considered one of the best songs in her repertoire.Other stars he wrote for (and considered personal friends) were Gracie Fields, George Lacey, Hatton and Manners, Sid Field, Rob Wilton and Joe Daniels.In 1925, he and Margaret opened 'DICK BATCH MUSIC STORES' at 119 Borough Road Wallasey - a focus for musical interest in the area, including Liverpool - because of Margaret’s encyclopaedic knowledge of sheet music, until Jazz, Teddy Boys and Rock & Roll moved it to vinyl.While Margaret managed the shop, Dick took charge at various times, as Manager-Producer of a number of theatres, the Argyle Birkenhead, Hippodrome Birkenhead and the Hippodrome Wallasey on Borough Road opposite the music shop (originally the Irving Theatre founded by Sir Henry Irving), whilst also acting as booking agent for JW Clarke Theatre owner.One of the first revues he put on at the Hippodrome Wallasey, on its provincial tour, direct from the Garrick Theatre London, was ”West End Scandals” with the chief comedian of the show the very famous Tommy Trinder. One notable song he wrote was “The Daffodil Parade”, dedicated to the original Mersey Ferries ship Royal Daffodil, which he wrote in a review for the Wallasey Police Minstrels in 1923. It gained considerable popularity at the time.He gave vent to his vast knowledge, experiences and contacts by writing articles on theatrical subjects for the trade magazines, including an annual contribution, which appeared in the Christmas numbers of the Performer for 20 years up until his death.

2008 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 by Pininfarina Transmission: paddleMileage:37600The lineage of Ferrari's most elegant 599 model, launched back in 2006, is practically regal if you trace its basic design to the 1960s and a heritage of beautifully-penned, front-engined, GT cars such as the legendary 250 SWB and its sister car, the Lusso. Fast dramatic machines with impossibly long bonnets followed chronologically then by the 275GTB Daytona and, more recently, the 550 and 575M. Such theatre, such art.It is little surprise then that the owners of these dynamic and vital examples approach their custodianship with a passion that is often overwhelming but always worthwhile and vital towards to the history of the marque.This car is presented in 'as-new' condition kept, as it is, in de-humidified car storage as part of an important private collection. Supplied by the factory in metallic black paintwork, professionally paint corrected with professional detailers and never driven in the rain.Back in 2022, it was the subject of a minor incident resulting in some quarter panel damage. The car was returned to Ferrari where full repairs took place and, needless to say, this was recorded with HPI as a matter of course although since then, all repairs have been double-checked by Autolign, professional detail assessors, and signed off as original and correct.Fully serviced by Ferrari throughout its entire life with its most recent service undertaken through Ferrari's new Power15 warranty, a new extended package which applies to vehicles between the expiration of the new vehicle limited warranty and fifteen years from the original date of sale, this took place in July of 2023 and included four new P-Zero tyres fitted to 20€ OEM Monolithic alloy wheels and new Scuderia shields as well as a brand-new Ferrari radiator costing in excess of £8,000. There are seven months left to run on the MoT test certificate. Braking comes through giallo fly carbon/ceramic brakes and, in fact, it's worth noting that this example has only ever been touched by Ferrari main agents since birth.The interior includes tan carbon Daytona sports leather seats with the extended carbon/leather pack with carbon steering wheel, LED rev. counter display, a leather headliner and back parcel shelf with straps as well as original Ferrari Becker radio/Satnav. All books are included, the keys are still in their leather pouch, the jack remains unopened and the tools are still new and safely ensconced in their leather pouch. Even the air-pump and charger still remain in place. Take your place in the driver's seat of one of Ferrari's rare front-engined, V12s amongst Maranello's other great designs, one of very few to ever to roll out from under that fabled red archway. 23/10/09 STRATSTONE FERRARI5,13129/10/10 GRAYPAUL FERRARI11,02425/7/12 LANCASTER FERRARI16,5088/3/13 JOE MACARI FERRARI17,98325/3/14 STRATSTONE FERRARI19,37017/5/16 LANCASTER FERRARI27,4007/7/17 GRAYPAUL FERRARI29,16521/8/18 GRAYPAUL FERRARI29,86521/9/20 DICK LOVETT FERRARI30,50331/8/21 DICK LOVETT FERRARI35,84025/7/23HR OWEN HATFIELD37,405Recently professionally detailed including ceramic coat protection system as detailed on YouTube by Birklean Detailing.Consigned by EJ Bridger-Stille
1970 Chevrolet C10 Stepside Shortbed Transmission: automaticMileage:76507The Chevrolet C/K series of trucks were manufactured by General Motors from the 1960 until 2002. Marketed by both the Chevrolet and GMC divisions, the C/K series encompassed a wide range of vehicles. While most associated with pickup trucks, the model line also included chassis-cab trucks and medium-duty trucks and served as the basis for GM full-size SUVs. Through its entire production, the model line competed directly against the Ford F-Series and the Dodge D series (later the Dodge Ram pickup). The second generation was introduced for the 1967 model year and would be available until 1972, largely retaining its drop centre ladder frame but with a re-designed body to improve the models capability of being used for a wider range of vehicles. Options such as automatic transmission, AM/FM radio, carpets and two-tone paint were also made available.This particularly eye-catching example is a rare shortbed Stepside, which only made up around 5% of the C10 pickup truck production in 1970. The Stepside variants are favoured due to their box rear arches, which give the trucks excellent road presence. Our vendor purchased and imported this truck in 2020 from a specialist based in Florida and has enjoyed it regularly since. The truck is in excellent order following an extensive rotisserie restoration in 2018, during which it was finished in its original colour of Anvil Grey. This C10 is fitted with a 5.7-litre Chevrolet V8 mated to a automatic transmission, which we are told shifts smoothly and suits the truck perfectly. The rear bed floor has been very tastefully refinished in wood and has a removeable tonneau cover with gas struts, so it can be tilted up for loading and unloading. Supplied with a V5C registration document and an independent pre-purchase inspection, which our vendor had carried out prior to purchase in America. Consignor Fraser Smith
1977 Rover 3500 Transmission: automaticMileage:1674The P6 was announced on 9 October 1963, just before the Earls Court Motor Show. The vehicle was marketed first as the Rover 2000 and was a complete 'clean sheet' design intended to appeal to a larger number of buyers than earlier models such as the P4 it replaced. The 3500 was introduced in April 1968 (one year after the Rover company was purchased by Triumph's owner, Leyland) and continued to be offered until 1977. The manufacturer asserted that the light metal V8 engine weighed the same as the four-cylinder unit of the Rover 2000, and the more powerful car's maximum speed of 114 mph as well as its 10.5-second acceleration time from 0-60 mph were considered impressive, and usefully faster than most of the cars of this price and specifications. In comparison, tested by Motor magazine in the issue published on 20 April 1968, it achieved a maximum speed of 117 mph, 0-60 mph in 9.5secs, with a standing quarter mile in 17.6 seconds.We are informed that this late example was used by the diplomatic protection wing of the Metropolitan Police force and retains its two-tone sirens, lights and switches as well as being presented with various Police paperwork including incident notebooks and even the Radio Telephone instruction book. This rare example is in good order throughout and has been dry stored during our vendors tenure. Offered to auction with a V5c registration document and various bills and receipts this piece of automotive history deserves further inspection. Consigned by Dominic Lake
2013 Volkswagen Move Up Auto Transmission: automaticMileage:12020The 2013 Volkswagen Move Up is a compact car that belongs to Volkswagen's Up! series, which is designed to be fuel-efficient and affordable. The Move Up trim level typically offers a good balance of features and value. Overall, the 2013 Volkswagen Move Up Auto would likely appeal to drivers looking for a small, efficient car with modern features and the convenience of an automatic transmission.This superb five door runabout, imported from Japan, is presented in silver with grey cloth interior. It comes with air conditioning, mileage guarantee certificate, electric windows to the front windows, radio and has automatic transmission. This great, refined, economic small car has only covered just over 7,000 miles from new (12,020 km on the odometer reading). These cars are superbly built, easy to drive with great driving dynamics, let alone their superb 50 mpg plus capability and also it is ULEZ compliant. Consigned by James Good.
1973 MG B GT V8 Police Car Transmission: manualMileage:22901The MGB was first introduced in May 1962 as a direct replacement for the MGA. Performance was brisk with power supplied by a 1798cc four-cylinder iron block engine set within a monocoque lightweight bodyshell with crumple zones incorporated. October 1965 saw the introduction of the GT and was based on the already popular roadster. Designed by Pinninfarina, the new GT sported a hatchback giving useful access to the rear luggage space and a rear bench seat that enabled the car to be called a 2+2. Although acceleration was slightly slower than the roadster, top speed was better by 5mph due to the increased aerodynamic efficiency. The possibility of fitting the larger aluminium 3528cc Rover P5B engine into the MG B GT was always an option. Space was not a problem as the car had originally been designed for fitment of a V4 that was never produced.This pre-production MG B GT V8 was first registered on 2nd February 1973 and was originally registered as a Police car. British Leyland sent these MG's to selected Police forces for operational evaluation. MG B V8's remained in production until 1976, the model was never offered for sale in the US. This example underwent a major restoration in 2009-2013 which included a bare metal respray and major mechanical items, invoices totalling some £23,000 are in the file. Presenting in the colour combination of white (unsurprisingly) and navy interior, still present is the Police sign and light on the roof (this must be covered for road use). The Police radio is still in the interior which is in great condition. Supplied with a V5C registration document, some service history, together with some interesting Police notepads. MG B GT V8's are always sought-after, this very rare (there were 12 allocated to the Police) and exceptionally tidy example is sure to create interest with collectors and enthusiasts. Consignor Stewart Banks
1964 Jaguar Mk. X (3.8 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:36000The Jaguar Mk. X was the top of the range saloon built by the British manufacturer primarily aimed at the US market. The unitary construction body-shell was codenamed 'Zenith' during development and this floor pan continued in production long after production ended. The interior was the last Jaguar with abundant standard woodwork, including the dashboard, escutcheons, window trim, a pair of large book-matched fold-out rear picnic tables and a front seat pull-out picnic table stowed beneath the instrument cluster. It was also the first Jaguar saloon to feature independent rear suspension and differed from earlier large Jaguar saloons in having 14 wheels instead of the more common 15. The car initially featured a 3,781cc version of Jaguar's XK in-line, six-cylinder engine. For the London Motor Show in October 1964, the enlarged 4,235cc unit took over although the 3.8 litre unit could still be specified until October 1965. Stopping power for this heavy car came from servo assisted disc-brakes on all four wheels; power assisted steering was standard.Presented in Silver metallic with sumptuous red full leather interior, this example was first registered on 1st August 1964 and specified with the rare and desirable manual with overdrive gearbox. Owned from new for some 43 years, this example has had just one former keeper. Since 2007 the car has been well maintained and now boasts an upgraded XJ6 series III gearbox with synchromesh on all gears, full stainless steel exhaust built by Ian Stewart, 3-2-1 distributer, new electric fuel pump and sits on a matching set of Michelin tyres. The history file shows that in February 2023 the car benefitted from recommissioning work including service and brake service. The history file is comprehensive with significant history dating back to 1964, also supplied with the Jaguar 3.8 Mk. X service manual, spare tyre, jack, toolkit and a period look uprated radio and rear picnic tables. The Mk. X is a wonderful car that was utilised by celebrities and gangsters alike and today is still an imposing classic which has proved to be very collectable and with a sports exhaust and triple carburettors it provides great performance while ample space for the family€¦or friends.
