2004 Range Rover believed to be Ex-HM Queen Elizabeth II Transmission: automaticMileage:There can be few cars that are as well-known and iconic as the mighty Range Rover. Launched in 1970 and built in the UK, this leader in the 4x4 field is now on its fifth incarnation. Enjoyed by Royalty and celebrities alike, the Range Rover is both aspirational and practical. The car has been described as 'the best 4x4 by far' and has been the winner of numerous awards. This example has possibly one of the most interesting and regal starts to its life, circumstantial information leads the vendor to believe that this was originally delivered to the Royal Estate for use by the HM Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip in London and Balmoral. First registered in 2004 and supplied by Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations as per contract 34319. It has been confirmed by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicles that this example was specified with a modified front grille with covert blue lights, switch pack (to power said lights), front and rear seat covers, dog guard, load space mat, side steps and mudflaps, this all an addition to the standard car options which are found with the Heritage Certificate and include heated front and rear seats, non UWB door lock frequency and tinted glass all round to mention a few. Ordered of course in Epson Green with Sand (Oxford Leather), the 4.4 litre V8 boasts air suspension, and the car is currently with its fourth owner with none of the previous aware of what could have been such illustrious beginnings. The car was supplied by SV to an unknown dealer code, EXEL AMS, for whom the British Motor Heritage Trust themselves cannot track details for apart from a detail recall print off from JLR which identifies that in July 2004 the car was sent to Stratstone Land Rover, Mayfair for a warranty recall before a similar warranty recall at Peter Vardy Land Rover, Aberdeen, the closest Land Rover dealership to the Balmoral Estate. With the Royal Family traditionally frequenting Balmoral between July and September, the assumption being that the car was seen in Mayfair before being transported to Balmoral where it was again seen after the family left to return to London¦ the plot thickens! Upon requesting details from the DVLA, the vendor has been refused any previous keeper's details, a copy of the letter can be found in the history file alongside photographs of what is believed could be the car with the Queen driving, showing the colour. The image shows the dog guard, and the seat covers but sadly as yet no image has been uncovered showing Queen Elizabeth and the cars registration number. Further possible telling indicators of the cars beginnings include duel rear window switches, these are not JLR standard parts but could be ordered and fitted by dealerships, this has been seen before with the Queens Daimler Majestic and enable the rear passenger (possibly the Queen) to control the other rear window thus stopping the wind blowing directly into her face or displacing one of those fabulous hats! Furthermore, keen eyes will spot on the door pillars there are rear climb handles to assist entry and departure from the car, this is something believed to be unique to the Queens Range Rovers due to her insistence of no assistance from staff when entering and exiting the car thus the handles along with the side steps enabled comfortable entry for a lady who would have been in her late 70's at the time. The final piece of circumstantial evidence leading the vendor to firmly believe this was indeed her majesty's car are the two reasons he embarked on this voyage of discovery, he noticed one day when cleaning his car there were two areas where the car had filler and in odd places, one on the bonnet, two marks clearly visible from the underside and one to the rear on the roof. The rear is believed to be for the radio comms arial also seen in a photo of a L322 Range Rover driven by the Queen and the front believed to be where the Labrador mascot was mounted as also seen in photos. The car now is in very good order, the vendor has chosen to keep the car as original as possible in the hope that the provenance can be cemented. Having covered a little over 109,000 miles from new, the service history is comprehensive with its first service in April of 2005 with Stratstone Mayfair before a further five with Hunters Land Rover, two with specialists in Windsor before a further five services with John Dennis in Aylesbury before a recent Land Rover service this July ready for the Auction. Confined to the garage and minimum use, the car is possibly one of Jaguar Land Rover more important cars of the last 20 years and could be an incredible piece of Royal provenance. The vendor is hoping that should someone have a photo of this car and her majesty driving or as passenger they will send to Historics auctions@historics.co.uk but regardless the circumstantial evidence is compelling and all signs certainly point toward this indeed being property of the late beloved Queen Elizabeth II.

1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 V-Spec Transmission: manualMileage:122857While many of the PlayStation generation may have first experienced the drama of the R34 GT-R V-Spec via Gran Turismo, it was an appearance in The Fast and the Furious franchise that led to an explosion in global popularity for the R34 GT-R. Indeed, Paul Walker drove an R34 GT-R in 2 Fast 2 Furious, enhancing its almost mythical status.But it was in the 'real' world where the R34 GT-R V-Spec would cement its reputation. Described by Evo magazine as 'a warrior-class performer' in its 2007 road test, where a standard R34 GT-R was pitted against the likes of a McLaren F1, Pagani Zonda, Ferrari F40 and Bugatti Veyron, the GT-R's reputation as a class act remained intact.The V-Spec (Victory Specification) was offered with a number of upgrades over the standard R34 and came equipped with arguably one of the most technically sophisticated four-wheel-drive/steer chassis in the world: the ATTESA E-TS Pro system. The V-Spec also benefitted from an active limited-slip differential at the rear. Along with its mechanical upgrades, the V-Spec also had firmer suspension and lower ground clearance, as well as a rear carbon fibre air diffuser.The Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec offered here was first registered in Japan in March 1999 and is presented in gleaming black with a grey interior. It comes with factory fitted radio/cassette, air conditioning and electric windows. Its fabulous six-cylinder engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox and it comes with a copy of its export certificate, V5C registration document and its MoT test certificate which expires in November 2023. The car was recommissioned at marque specialist Paul Cheshire Automotive with all fluids changed along with a precautionary cambelt change. These early versions of the iconic R34 generation Nissan Skyline GT-R series are coveted by collectors because they are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in standard, unmolested form. This superb V-Spec example remains original throughout and would be a prime example to drive and enjoy.

2010 Range Rover TDV8 Autobiography Transmission: automaticMileage:132200The ubiquitous Range Rover, launched in 1970, is now in its fourth generation. The third-generation Range Rover (L322) was designed to accommodate BMW's M62, V8 engines; the manual transmission was dropped entirely leaving only the automatic transmission. The entertainment system (radio function, navigation, television and telecommunications, as well as the automotive computer bus system) was identical to the BMW 5 Series and could also be upgraded with the newest BMW technologies.This 2010 registered Range Rover is fitted with the diesel V8 engine and is smooth, effortless, and quiet to drive. Finished in black with a cream interior, this Autobiography comes with a sunroof, full service history, two keys and has had four new tyres fitted. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this Range Rover represents excellent value for money. Interested parties should note that this vehicle failed its MoT on Monday 17th July due to an airbag light showing. Having been driven from Paris that day, the owner did not have time to investigate. A new DPF has been fitted but two new sensors will need to be fitted (part numbers can be seen in the history file).

1991 Land Rover Defender 110 200TDi 'Safari' Transmission: manualMileage:85823There is little doubt that one of the most famous shapes on British roads over the last 50 years is the Land Rover. This go-anywhere vehicle has been used on airfields, as ambulances, crossing jungles deserts and ice caps. The rear body not only presents in standard factory guise but with a huge range of adaptations such as pickup trucks, tow trucks, general haulage and immediate triage on the front line. These working vehicles can also be utilised for pleasure, however, as is the case here. Decommissioned from military service in 2003, it has been repainted and modernised with a TD5 bonnet, grill and alloy wheels as well as a 200 TDi engine, LT77 gearbox along with higher ratio transfer box and new rear differential. The timing belt, pulleys, tensions, water pump and auxiliary belts were also replaced as has exhaust and the radiator is now a high volume aluminium unit. Chequer plate protects the wing tops and rear wings and even the standard door hinges have been upgraded with SC Engineering components. In 2013, uprated Bearmach springs and lifted shock absorbers were fitted with vast storage on the roof with a galvanised steel removable roof rack and ladder and tow hook and, when ready to set camp, a Backroadz five-person SUV tent/awning is included that can be attached to the rear of the vehicle with a fully suspended cargo net.There is little wear overall with the interior converted to a rudimentary yet comfortable overland camper. Sound deadening, insulation and carpet has been fitted throughout with a wind-driven rotating ventilation system to the roof. There is a removable false floor providing a sleeping platform with storage below with leisure batteries to power interior LED lighting and USB charger ports. Defender MUD insulated blackout window blinds are supplied as well as front seat covers. The chassis has since been regularly WaxOyled and a 'Halo' LED light conversion has been fitted with a Pioneer DAB radio with Bluetooth phone connectivity with four rear and two front Pioneer speakers. All this combined with a comprehensive history file offers an unrivalled off-road, overland package.Interested parties should note that prior to the speedometer/odometer change, this was reading 73,144 miles (equivalent) and the new odometer read c.47,000 miles when fitted. The current reading is now approx. 86,000 miles.

2004 Jaguar XK8 Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:61190Jaguar was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company by Sir William Lyons in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before developing passenger cars. The name was changed to Jaguar after World War II to avoid the unfavourable connotations of the SS initials. Sale to BMC happened in 1966, which in 1968 merged with Leyland Motor Corporation and became British Leyland. Jaguar cars today are designed in Jaguar Land Rover's engineering centres at the Whitley plant in Coventry and at their Gaydon site in Warwickshire and are manufactured in Jaguar's Castle Bromwich assembly plant in Birmingham. The Jaguar XK series was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show on 5th March 1996. The first generation of the series, the XK8, replaced the XJS and was available as a coupé and convertible. The XK8 was the first eight-cylinder vehicle produced since the Daimler 250. The XK8 came with 17 alloy wheels, leather interior, burr walnut trim, and side airbags as standard.This lovely example is presented in Zircon Blue metallic with cream leather interior. The car has upgraded brakes all round, cruise control, ABS and alloy wheels as standard. It also has electric wing mirrors, fully electrically adjustable seats with memory function and two driver seat positions and auto active headlights. Its sound system is Jaguar AM/FM radio/cassette and has as six-disc CD changer in the boot. The dark blue hood is in good condition as indeed is the car in general with the latest service having been carried out at the end of May this year by Powerball in Taplow. The service history is good with servicing carried out by a mixture of Jaguar and specialist garages and with it only having two owners from new, this example presents itself very well and is offered without reserve.

1971 Aston Martin DBS V8 Banham Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:79500With the demise of the DB6 Mk. II Volante in 1970, Aston Martin were not able to offer a convertible motorcar until 1977 with the introduction of the V8 Volante. This presented a niche in the market; there are always wealthy customers with a desire for something unique and unusual. Paul Banham and his company, Banham Conversions (Banmoco) became well known for their cabriolet conversions on Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Daimler and Jaguar cars. The company was perhaps most noted for their stylish conversion on the Jaguar XJ-S. Sadly the company went out of business in 2004.This lovely example is presented in British Racing Green with a beige leather interior and matching beige hood. Its iconic V8 engine is mated to a manual gearbox and it has electric windows and a radio. The car has a nice history going as far back as 1984, which also includes a list of the owners and the years it exchanged hands. The present owner bought this rare DBS V8 Aston Martin in 1989 and it was at that time the car was sent to Banham Motors Ltd to be converted to a soft top when the mileage was 74,978. The car was stored from 1991 to 2022 in an air conditioned unit and was recommissioned by Slark Motors in Bristol in 2023. It had its outer wheel lips power coated and the car was polished to the condition it is shown today which looks fabulous. These are rare cars indeed and with the Banham conversion and manual gearbox, this particular Aston Martin DBS is very sought-after and turns heads wherever it is driven.

1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II Transmission: automaticMileage:43327The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II is the epitome of 1970's luxury motoring. The original Silver Shadow was released in 1965 and made way for the vastly improved Shadow II in 1977, which would stay in production until 1980. The Silver Shadow II was known for its silky-smooth ride and powerful V8 engine, which provided plenty of power for the car's substantial size. It also featured a number of advanced features for its time, such as a sophisticated self-levelling suspension system and an air conditioning system which could be operated independently for the driver and front passenger. The Shadow II also gained rack and pinion steering, which vastly improved the handling over its predecessor. The interior of the Silver Shadow II was of course the height of luxury, with the finest wood veneer and leather upholstery.First registered on 4th October 1979, this wonderful Silver Shadow II presents beautifully in its Georgian Silver paint. Upholstered in dark blue leather and specified with top roll, instrument board roll, radio and underdash trim, (also in dark blue), this wonderful example of a Silver Shadow doesn't disappoint upon inspection. The paint still gleams and the interior appears unmarked. Supplied with a fabulous history file, as well as many receipts, MoT test certificates dating back to the early 1980's, many tax discs, book pack along with original service book, (stamped with 11 service stamps), is also a copy of the complete factory construction and test records outlining every step of the car's production from order to final signing off. At a cost of over £32,000 in 1979, the Rolls-Royce certainly wasn't a cheap car, the price more than that of most houses at the time, it has formed part of a large and eclectic collection over the past few years. The vendor only buys good quality cars, inspected by his own two full time mechanics before any purchase is made and he reports this car to run and drive very well, only now offered for sale to free up some space in his purpose built 60 car garage for an incoming project.Supplied with a V5C registration document, original book pack, stamped service book, original brochure, Rolls-Royce construction and test records pack, many receipts, past tax discs and MoT test certificates. Finding a Silver Shadow in such good condition and with such a lovely history file is unusual and an opportunity not to be missed.Interested parties should note that this vehicle had its speedometer replaced around 1982 at 9,053 miles. Therefore, the current reading of 43,331 miles is approximately 52,384 miles. The change of speedometer and mileage is recorded in the car’s Service Schedules and Record Book.
Lot 192
1962 Jaguar Mk. X Transmission: automaticMileage:45823The Jaguar Mk. X was the top of the range saloon car built by the British manufacturer primarily aimed at the United States market. The unitary construction bodyshell was codenamed 'Zenith' during development and this floor pan continued in production long after Mk. X production ended, as the DS420 Limousine. 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. Later, air conditioning and a sound-proof glass division between the front and rear seats were available as options. The Mk. X was 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 front suspension used double wishbones with coil springs and telescopic dampers. 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. Many domestic market cars and almost all cars destined for the important North American markets left the factory with a Borg Warner automatic gearbox. Stopping power for this heavy car came from servo assisted disc brakes on all four wheels; power assisted steering was standard.The current owner purchased this fabulous Jaguar on 2nd November 2003 with a recorded mileage of 43,194 miles; the car at the time was not on the road and needed a bit of attention to get through an MoT. Once MoT'd he used the car for just over a year and then decided to either to sell it or restore it. The latter decision was made and the stripping of the Jaguar commenced which he has captured on the two CD discs that are in the history file for the new owner to have as a record. Once the car was stripped, it was sent to the bodyshop to be prepared and painted, while this process was being achieved the woodwork was sent to be restored and all the seats, door cards, rear parcel shelf and front under shelf were sent to be retrimmed. To complete this work, six hides of red leather were used to completely retrim the car which, as can be seen, has turned out to be absolutely stunning. Once the car was returned from painting, the rebuild began with the headlining being completed first and then the refurbished woodwork being pieced back together, firstly around the headlining and then down the pillars, the dashboard was next which took quite a while with regards to the refitting of the clocks and gauges and after this, the rear picnic tables were fitted, therefore, completing this stage. Brand new carpets were fitted which were supplied by BAS of Newport again this was quite fiddly especially around the sills and the centre console but was eventually achieved. All chromework was then refitted to the car which included door handles, bumpers, front and rear lights, roof chrome, new rear boot chrome, new front grille and then bonnet chrome. Once completed the seats were fitted and then all door cards, centre console with a brand-new period radio which has Bluetooth etc, rear parcel shelf and any other areas were finished off with the leather trim. Finally, the boot was retrimmed to match the red interior of the car which gives a much nicer look than the usual Jaguar biscuit colour. After completion of the rebuild, the carburettors were completely restored and a brand-new stainless-steel exhaust system was fitted and the radiator then received a re-core, all new water hoses, water pump, thermostat and a brand-new set of ignition leads and plugs followed by an electronic ignition set to finish off. The present vendor has had the pleasure of owning the vehicle for nearly 20 years of which 14 were restoring this magnificent vehicle and as you can see the car now has a recorded mileage of 45,823 miles, this means the car has only covered 2,629 miles in his ownership. This is a simply stunning example of this British classic and surely must be one of the finest available.

2001 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Transmission: automaticMileage:47500Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1993, the Ian Callum styled DB7 began production in 1994 at a new factory in Bloxham, Oxfordshire. It was engineered in conjunction with Tom Walkinshaw's TWR group who built the new supercharged six-cylinder engine. In 1999, the new DB7 Vantage with a V12 engine was revealed. It didn't just bring a new powertrain but more aggressive styling with a bigger front grille, new fog, side and indicator lights and imposing 18" wheels.Presented in Canna Di Fucile, a Ferrari colourway commonly referred to as CDF, with a black leather trim and charcoal piping which matches the carpets and the dash is finished with walnut veneer, this 2001 Vantage boasts just 47,500 miles from new. The bodywork is described as very good with the wheels equally unmarked and a bonus in a classic car, the radio has been uprated to accommodate Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity.The history boasts a comprehensive Aston Martin dealer and specialist service history but for a few gaps in the earlier years when our vendor believers the car was SORN, also found in the file is the original Aston Martin communication confirming the desirable colour combination. Recent works include all 12 coil packs replaced in 2019 and in July 2020 the underside rust protection was renewed, front suspension overhauled, and lower wishbone bushes and road springs replaced along with the alternator, the spring pans, radius arm bushes and N/S/R and O/S/R outer fulcrum bearings. The Vapour management valves, and purge valves were replaced in November 2021 and the handbrake system was overhauled coupled to new shoes in September 2021. In October 2022, the idler pulley, tensioner belt drive, FEAD drive belt and flat Idler pulley were all replaced with the gear selector lever and assembly along with the front O/S subframe v-mounts and engine earth cable. Today the V12 DB7 is still an achingly gorgeous sportscar and this example is specified in an unusually subtle colour combination. Very attractively priced, this is a stunning example of a collectable Aston Martin.

A Magic Lantern Slide of Édouard Branly with his Radio Coherer,A Magic Lantern Slide titled in ink 'le ? a P exposition Branly avec le Radio Conducteur' sowing a coloured photograph of Branly in a lecture hall with his Coherer, slide 10cm x 8.5cmÉdouard Branly was a French physicist who is best known for his invention of the Branly coherer, a device that was crucial in the development of wireless telegraphy. Born on October 23, 1844, in Amiens, France, Branly studied at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris and later became a professor at the Catholic University of Paris.In 1890, Branly invented the coherer, which was a type of radio wave detector that was used to receive wireless signals. The coherer consisted of a tube filled with metal filings, which would become conductive when exposed to electromagnetic radiation.The coherer was a major breakthrough in wireless communication technology, and it allowed for the development of wireless telegraphy and radio broadcasting. Branly's coherer was widely used in early radio receivers, and it paved the way for the development of more sophisticated radio wave detectors.Édouard Branly died on March 24, 1940, at the age of 95. His invention of the coherer had a major impact on the development of wireless communication technology, and his legacy continues to be felt in the field of telecommunications today.

WW2 German Soldbuch, Citation and Award Grouping of Radioman Otto Bendel, 1./ Panzer Korps-Nachrichten Abteilung 441 (Panzer Corps Intelligence Department), Part of XXXXI Panzer Korps, Which Saw Heavy Combat on the Eastern Front during the Battle of Kursk, the well worn soldbuch is missing its picture from the inside front cover. The rank is shown first as a Gefreiter and then Obergefreiten in 1943. Various entries noted in the book, including the awards of the War Service Cross 2nd class with swords and the Eastern Front medal. The book has loose covers and some loose pages. Accompanying the Soldbuch is some other documents including a 1946 dated personal ausweis in both German and Russian with Soviet stamp to the bottom, Fluchtlings-Pass which has a uniform photograph of Bendel. Also with the book is a very crudely printed citation for the award of the War Service Cross 2nd class and the original medal and Eastern Front medal with its ribbon. As part of the XXXXI Panzer Korps, Bendel, would have been serving with the unit in the area South-East of Rshew when the Soviet Russian forces launched operation Mars, to capture the German held Bridgehead at Rzhev. The unit was then heavily involved in one of the most famous tank battles of WW2 and the Eastern Front, the battle of Kursk. His position as a radio man in the unit would have made his role pivotal to the Panzers involved in the battle at Kursk.
