1982 Porsche 911 SC Targa- Porsche certificate of authenticity - Original tool kit and period sale brochures- Displaying a mileage of 91,915Extraordinary as it may now seem, by the time Porsche launched the SC in 1977, the 911 line was supposed to be in its death throes and soon to be replaced by the vastly different 928, but won a last minute reprieve - a decision enthusiasts have celebrated ever since.The newcomer featured an engine of rather different construction, size and character. The crankcase was now of aluminium rather than magnesium, and the crankshaft stronger and equipped with larger bearings. The fan had fewer blades in order to reduce noise and, more fundamentally, the capacity had risen from 2687 to 2994cc. The unit was fed by Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and mated to the 915 series five-speed gearbox. Servo brakes were standard. The power output of the early SC's was actually 20 horsepower down on that of its predecessor (180 as opposed to 200bhp). However, new camshafts endowed the unit with a higher, flatter torque curve that made the car easier to drive and virtually as quick overall. Nevertheless, the output was increased to 188bhp in 1979 and 204bhp in 1981. The additional specification of the £1,500 optional 'Sport' package included: front air dam; large rear wing; forged Fuchs alloy wheels rims - 6in front/7in rear; gas-filled dampers; Recaro seats; Blaupunkt stereo/radio cassette and electric aerial.The smartly-presented Sport Targa offered here is finished in Silver teamed with half-leather Blue/Grey interior trim. It has benefited from a service and new clutch within the last 100 miles and comes complete with Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, pair of keys, plus its original tool kit and sales brochures. It has apparently never been restored and currently displays a total mileage of 91,915 and, though at one stage declared a Cat C stolen / recovered, the Vendor informs us the 911 has been 'extensively looked over and all the panels appear original and in good order'.

1951 Crosley CD Four Hook & LadderOne of just four "Hook and Ladder" examples built by Overland Amusements of Lexington, Massachusetts between 1949 and 1952 for amusement park, tourist attraction and carnival usage, this novelty ride combines a Crosley CD Four Pickup with a custom-made fifth wheel `hook and ladder' trailer. The trailer features benches down both sides with wooden ladders hinging up and down to act as passenger restraints. Said to have been extensively restored whilst resident in a New Jersey museum for many years, it sports `Itty Bitty Fire Co' livery and a complement of fire-fighting equipment: extinguisher, hose, axe, bell, siren and lights etc. A guaranteed head turner and perhaps welcome at the likes of the Goodwood Revival, the `hook and ladder' is the only one of its kind outside of America. All four examples still exist and the last one to cross the block made$115,500 with Barrett Jackson in 2015! Founded by radio pioneer Powel Crosley, Crosley Motors Inc switched from two- to four-cylinder engines after WW2 adopting the innovative 44ci (722cc) CoBra (Copper Brazed) overhead camshaft unit which had proven its worth as a generator aboard PT boats and Boeing B17 Flying Fortresses. Evolving into the CIBA (Cast Iron Block Assembly) version for 1949, the OHC powerplant developed a quoted 26.5hp and 32.5lbft of torque and was allied to three-speed manual transmission. Current from late 1948 until Crosley closed its doors on July 3rd 1952, the CD Four could be had as a Sedan, Coupe, Convertible, Station Wagon, Pickup or Panel Truck. A Crosley won the first race at Sebring and famous owners included Humphrey Bogart and President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The diminutive width of the Crosley at 48 inches is because they weren't sold through dealerships but department stores, and they had to get them through the doors!
1965 Ford Mustang 289 Fastback- A-code car, stunning restoration in USA which included fitting a brand new 'crated' Cobra V8- 5-speed manual Tremec competition gearbox, Rally-Pac, 5-Dial dash, wood rim steering wheel etc.- Rangoon Red with White stripes and Black vinyl interior, just c.2300 miles since completionLido Anthony Lee Iacocca was the Mustang's father and champion, and to win over Henry Ford II he lined up every Ford alongside its Chevrolet equivalent. The Chevy Monza stood alone, demonstrating Ford had no entry in the growing youth market. The ploy worked, the project signed off, and on the day of its release at the 1964 New York World's Fair there was at least one Mustang at all 8,160 dealerships and full-page adverts in 2,600 papers. Production was dramatically increased to meet demand, and sales ultimately exceeded £¢million in 1965 and 1966. The GT version launched in 1965 featured added instruments, stiffer roll bars, higher geared steering, dual exhausts, and dual grille-mounted fog lights. A popular option was 'Rally Pac' that added a rev-counter and clock to the specification.This superb-looking A-code GT -came to the UK in 2014 following a comprehensive restoration of notably high standard, during which it was treated to a brand new Cobra crate engine and the balance of the drivetrain was either replaced or reconditioned - since when the fast Ford has covered just 2,388 miles. The original automatic transmission has subsequently been replaced by a Tremec five-speed manual competition one with related clutch, which is said to have 'transformed' the car. At the same time the Mustang was fitted with new telescopic dampers and American Racing Torq Thrust magnesium wheels shod with BFGoodrich radials. The immaculate interior features a five dial dash plus the optional 'Rally Pac', woodrim steering wheel and period radio. The headlining and carpets are new and the seats have been recovered in the correct grade of vinyl. Proudly presented in Rangoon Red and White stripes, 'FNA 249C' is considered by the vendor to be 'very good' in all major departments and is on the button and ready to give pleasure to a new keeper.
1988 BMW 635 CSi 'Highline'- One owner from new until 2007- Main dealer history from new until 2006- Described by the vendor as in "superb original" conditionThe sleek, Paul Bracq-penned, four-seat 6 Series Coupe was introduced in 1976 as a replacement for the aging CS and CSL models. Code named E24, the newcomer borrowed heavily from the contemporary E12 and E28 5 Series Saloons and was of unitary, all steel construction. At launch, the range comprised two models - the 630CS and 633CSi; the bodies for which were manufactured by Karmann prior to production being taken in-house. Suspension was fully independent by semi-trailing arms and coil springs, braking by ventilated discs all round and steering by a ZF worm and roller system. The more powerful 635CSi swelled the line-up in 1978. It was equipped with a SOHC 3,453cc straight six engine, and standard equipment included a five-speed manual gearbox and boot lid-mounted spoiler.In 1982, the switch from E12 5 Series platform to that of the E28 resulted in changes to the chassis, suspension, engine and both exterior and interior styling. However, the most impactful change in the model's lifetime was implemented for 1988, and included a move to federal-style impact bumpers, ellipsoidal headlamps, Michelin TRX tyres and rims and upgraded leather interior trim - these were known as 'Highline' cars. Production of this generation of 6 Series cars ceased in 1989 after some 86,216 examples had been produced. The model was effectively succeeded by the dearer, more complex 8 Series.The lovely-looking February 1988 Highline on offer is finished in Malachite Dark Metallic Green and trimmed in Silver-coloured leather. Its original bill of sale totalling £36,332 includes such extras as a limited slip differential, electric radio aerial, and Toronto 4 audio speakers. A one-owner car until 2007, the Beemer is understood to remain a very original example that has covered 146,000 miles to date. It comes complete with main dealer history covering its first 15 years and original BMW toolkit.
1953 Morgan Plus 4 Four-Seater- In current ownsership since 1989- Morgan main Dealer maintained- Matching numbers carFirst seen in 1950, the Morgan Plus 4 was a larger and more powerful derivative of the company's 4/4 and has remained in production on and off for over 60 years now. Up until 1969 it was powered by the four-cylinder engines found in the Triumph TR range, which were mated to a four-speed manual gearbox with well-spaced ratios. The rakish body was mounted on a variant of Morgan's familiar Z section chassis, underslung at the rear. Suspension was independent by sliding pillars and coil springs at the front and a live axle on semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Braking was by drums all round and steering by a Burman cam and sector system. As tested by Autosport's John Bolster, the 100bhp 1991cc Triumph-engined Plus Four would accelerate to 60mph in 9.6 seconds and on to a top speed of a whisker under 105mph.According to an accompanying 1989 letter from the then registrar, this delightful period Morgan was the only 'flat rad' four-seater Plus 4 known to the Morgan Sports Car Club at that time, so a decidedly rare version. It was purchased for £12,500 in September of the same year by the vendor's family trust, since when it has been continually maintained by renowned Morgan dealer Melvyn Rutter of Bishop's Stortford. The subject of a comprehensive older restoration just 4,543 miles ago, 'SNW 545' is smartly presented courtesy of Dark Green bodywork teamed with Black upholstery and carpets. Self-evident features of interest include the Bluemels steering wheel, quartet of period rear-view mirrors, rear-mounted luggage rack and radio aerial affixed to the left flank. The Morgan rides on silver-coloured steel disc wheels equipped with Avon HM Tourist tyres and highly polished hubcaps. This charming Plus 4 is now offered complete with full hood and tonneau cover and an MOT to August 6.
1990 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit II- Supplied new by Mann Egerton of Norwich- Factory build sheets, inspection records and comprehensive history file- 15,150 miles from new and Rolls-Royce blankets and umbrella includedThis utterly immaculate Silver Spirit II has had a total of five owners, who between them have apparently amassed no more than 15,150 miles over 28 years. Totally unrestored, it is finished in the striking combination of Acrylic Georgian Silver over a Dark Metallic Blue, while the interior is trimmed in Blue-piped Parchment-coloured hide. The Rolls was supplied new by Mann Egerton of Norwich and is considered by the titled vendor to have nothing less than 'excellent' bodywork, two-tone paintwork, sumptuous interior trim and Blue carpets, V8 engine and automatic transmission. Apparently once a show car, 'H9 ORP' is well known to the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club and is now being offered complete with; upgraded radio with Blue Tooth as well as the original audio system; factory build sheets and inspection records; comprehensive history file; the original bill of sale dated 8/6/1990; the original factory pack of owners' manuals and service book; and a pair of Rolls-Royce blankets and umbrella. A unique opportunity.The Fritz Feller-penned Silver Spirit debuted at the 1980 Paris Salon. It was not entirely new, however, and employed the floorpan of the outgoing model as well as its proven OHV 6,750cc V8 powerplant. The opulent incomer was lower and longer than the Silver Shadow and featured a considerably larger glass area. Courtesy of its finely-tuned Girling hydraulic self-levelling suspension, it was said to provide the best roadholding ever offered by the marque. It was also the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable version of the Spirit of Ecstasy - it automatically withdrew into the safety of the radiator shell if dislodged from its standard position. There were a total of four iterations of the Silver Spirit, via which it remained in production until 1998, by which time BMW had obtained an interest in the manufacturer and the Spirit was replaced by the BMW V12-powered Silver Seraph.

A rare English brass Gunter pattern horary quadrant Unsigned, mid 17th century The heavy brass plate applied with twin pinhole sight vanes, the apex pierced with a hole for plumb line and engraved with a shadow square annotated 1-10 in both directions and divided into fifths, below is a sector arranged as a quarter of an astrolabe for a fixed latitude showing the sky projection between equator and tropics crossed by the ecliptic divided with a Zodiacal scale, horizon and azimuth lines, the outer band with double calendar scale annotated I, F, M, A, M, I in one direction and I, A, S, O, N, D in the other within degree scale annotated 0-90 to limb, radius 10.1cm (4ins). The layout of the current lot was devised by Edmund Gunter who first published the design in 1623. Gunter was born in Hertfordshire in 1581 and studied at Oxford as an undergraduate 1600-03. During this time he developed his interest in mathematics and started designing his own instruments including a sector. In 1615 Gunter took holy orders and became rector at both St. Mary Magdalen, Oxford and St, Georges, Southwark. Around this time he also spent more and more time at Gresham College working alongside his friend Henry Briggs who was professor of geometry which ultimately led to his appointment as the third Gresham professor of astronomy in 1620. In 1623 Edmund Gunter published his work De Sectore et Radio or The Description and Use of the Sector, the Cross-staffe and other instruments which included the design of quadrant on which the current lot is very closely based. The current instrument appears to be laid out for vernal equinox of 21 March, consistent with the Gregorian calendar (still in effect in England at this time) and for latitude of 52° for London. It also incorporates an edge scale of solar declination adjacent to the quadrantal scale for observing altitudes of sun and stars onto which the sky positions of at least three bright stars are also plotted. Once supplied with a plumb line incorporating a sliding bead the quadrant can be used to establish the suns position in the Zodiac at a particular time of year and for finding the azimuth of the sun at a particular time of day as well as other astronomical functions.
