1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SprintRegistration no. 569 UYVChassis no. AR 1493 08616Odometer reading: 89,848kmsMOT expiry date: Exempt*Low mileage with good history*Good paintwork and interior trim*A stylish sports GT *Left-hand driveThe 750 and 101 Giulietta series was Alfa Romeo's first foray into the 1,300cc class and proved immensely popular; it probably saved the carmaker. With its beautifully balanced design and jewel-like 1,290cc twin overhead cam engine, it found nearly 180,000 buyers in berlina, spider and various coupe forms, in its production run from 1954 to 1965. Of course many have succumbed to corrosion and neglect but the example seen here has obviously been cherished and preserved beautifully. Delivered in March 1959 to a customer in Italy, according to its Alfa Romeo Centro Documentazione Provenance document, this Giulietta was originally Bianco Gardenia but is now presented in a beautiful period dark blue, with a lovely correct blue/grey vinyl and cloth interior. Purchased by the present owner at the 2016 Automotoretro fair in Padua, Italy, it has been mechanically and electrically restored by marque experts DTR Sports Cars at a cost of some £30,000 (bills available) in 2020. This is a matching numbers car, fitted with the rare 5 speed gearbox option and an expensive handling kit which makes it even sweeter to drive. A great opportunity to acquire a Giulietta that is a delight to drive and just as pleasing on the eye.Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:Vendor Score Total: 93/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1983 Matra MurenaRegistration no. A692 EHNChassis no. DX 704441EEngine no. N/AOdometer reading: 114,393 (184,099 kilometres)MOT expiry date: 03/02/22 * A rare model of an idiosyncratic sports car* Mechanically totally overhauled with significant performance upgrades* Good history with previous ownership of 27 yearsThe Matra Murena is a rare car in any form and this example is particularly special. At the last count there were only 18 Murenas on the road in the UK, the majority of which are 1.6s, this example is the only one with this engine specification, having a 2.2 litre motor that has been tuned to give more power than the top of the range 'S' model.The engine was rebuilt by Roy Gillard of Redwood Repairs and consisted of a reground crankshaft, re-bored block, water pump reconditioned, cylinder head replaced, and a new camshaft especially made by Piper Cams. Invoice on file.The engine was converted to accept twin reconditioned 45mm Dellorto carburettors and was set up on a rolling road where it achieved 144 bhp. Putting all this power down is a new clutch on a lightened flywheel and a 10% higher top gear has been fitted. The suspension and cooling systems have been overhauled and upgraded, including replacement trailing arms, a known weak point. These and the complete chassis have been extensively Waxoiled, part for works totalling more than £6,600. The coachwork was repainted some 20 years ago but is wearing its age well. A rare example ready to be enjoyed.

1962 Ford Zodiac ConvertibleRegistration no. 657 BKGChassis no. 206EZ62B017018Engine no. Z247697Odometer reading: 50,696MOT expiry date: N/A*Rare convertible survivor*Consistently serviced and maintained by long term owner*Sensitively updated and improved while maintaining originalityPlease click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:Combining the practicality of Ford running gear and the glamour of its American-inspired styling and luxury, the 'Mark 2' Zodiac was the top of the line offering from the Blue Oval in 1962. Add to this the convertible top of the car offered here and you have a truly beguiling family-size fast tourer. With its powerful 2553 cc engine and 3-speed manual gearbox, the car offered has the benefit of the optional overdrive and front disc brakes with servo assistance.Further refinements include a power operated hood and extra front driving lights atop the rechromed front bumper. Purchased by the present owner in 2012 and always dry stored and used sparingly, this Zodiac was restored some years ago and is said to be running and driving very well. It has been consistently serviced and maintained and the engine has been updated with a performance-enhancing six branch exhaust manifold (the original 'log' exhaust manifold was the major restriction to the six cylinder engine's standard performance) and electronic ignition. With its lovely combination of two-tone blue over white paintwork being matched by the retrimmed interior, this Zodiac from the last year of Mark 2 production represents excellent value for a fast and stylish four seat tourer.Vendor Score Total: 64/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1995 Bentley Turbo RRegistration no. M315 RMSChassis no. SCBZR15C3TCH57067Odometer reading: 76,350MOT Expiry: 23/02/2022*Dry stored*Low mileage*MOT February 2022The Bentley Turbo R is one of the most significant performance saloons produced by Bentley during its history. Not only was the car incredibly luxurious but it was also very powerful, producing 384bhp from its turbocharged 6.75 litre V8. This rare short wheelbase example of the 1996 Model year specification was initially retained by Rolls Royce as a company car and has been resprayed and is finished in Diamond Blue Silver 'Lechler Special Mix' livery and strikingly furnished with wild berry leather upholstery with a full sheepskin over-rug set as well as having its original toolkit, triangle and jack in fitted compartments in the boot. The car sits on original factory specified 17' Continental 'R' wheels. This low mileage 1995 example is in excellent condition and runs and drives very well and as it should. Overall, the bodywork and leather and wood interior presents very well bar a slight mismatch of paint on the wings and some small rust spots. The current owner purchased the car from a Bonhams Auction in 2009 from a past chairman of the Rolls Royce Enthusiasts Club, and has stored the car in a dry garage since taking ownership. The car has been kept running and used sparingly once or twice a week. The vendor had been advised by a previous owner that the car had belonged to the Chairman of Rolls-Royce when Bentley and Rolls-Royce were under the same ownership. The car comes with its original service book (plus full history) and is fully stamped with receipts. The car has recently been fully serviced with a new MOT expiring February 2022.Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:Vendor Score Total: 98/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1961 Mercedes-Benz 300d 'Adenauer' LimousineRegistration no. 440 XUGChassis no. 189.010.22.002641Odometer reading: 63,485MoT expiry date: exempt*The last word in automotive luxury in its day*Automatic transmission*Rare right-hand drive model*Superb history file with thousands spentIntroduced in 1951, the Mercedes-Benz 300 owed the design of its independently suspended oval-tube chassis to the 170S of 1949, and would later provide the mechanical basis for the incomparable 300 SL sports car. Additional refinements appropriate for the company's top-of-the-range luxury saloon included an improved steering mechanism and remote electrical control of the rear suspension ride height. Initially developing 115bhp (DIN), the 3.0-litre, overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine was increased in power for succeeding models. Other improvements included larger brakes (with servo-assistance from 1954); optional power steering; and three-speed automatic transmission as standard on the 300d. Custom built by Mercedes-Benz's most experienced craftsmen, the conservatively styled 300 was luxuriously appointed and trimmed with materials of the highest quality. Fast and elegant, it was one of very few contemporary vehicles capable of carrying six passengers in comfort at sustained high speeds. It was the car of choice among West German government officials, and throughout Europe and the USA was widely favoured by businessmen, financiers, and politicians. Indeed, 'Adenauer' became the 300 saloon/limousine's unofficial model name, after German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, its most famous customer. This 'Adenauer' formerly belonged to Sir Freddie Laker. There are numerous bills on file amounting to vast sums spent on the vehicle, which include a full respray and interior trimming. which is vendor-rated as in very good condition and comes with an old-style logbook, article trimmings featuring the car and various model related manufacturers brochures/manuals.Footnotes:Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereVendor Score Total: 61/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

The SEb featured an elegant design, offering a wider radiator shell, wrap around windscreen, wider rear window, vertically positioned headlamps and discrete tailfins. The high purchase price meant that relatively few were sold in the UK, most with the automatic transmission. This example is still wearing its original Havana Brown paintwork, and is not only right-hand drive, but also a manual. Inside the car retains many original features but will require work. The car is in need of a full restoration inside and out. The engine starts and holds good oil pressure, but will require work to get moving having been in storage for many years.

1939 Albion FT3 LorryRegistration no. AVP 366Chassis no. 158023Odometer reading: N/AMOT Expiry: N/A*Beautiful Albion flatbed lorry*Rare model*Previously restoredFounded in 1899, Albion Motors was a Scottish automobile manufacturer that also specialised in commercial vehicles. Sadly the company and was sold under British Leyland, but it is notable for producing iconic vehicles such as the Albion Ventura double decker bus. In production from 1939 until 1954, the Albion FT3 was in fact the company's longest lived model, and was originally powered by six-cylinder petrol engines. However, out of practicality and rising fuel prices many were later converted to diesel. This 1939 Albion FT3 is a wonderful early example that was previously restored in 1986. It is finished in a beautiful blue and red contrasting colour scheme that is painted to match the vendor's father's transport company. The colours really help to make the vehicle stand out. This example comes with little history, but does come with original wooden crates on the rear bed. The vehicle runs and drives well, and overall is in a presentable condition. The running gear and suspension are also in good condition. There is still an active Albion owners club for a new owner to join if desired, with many rallies held each year. This is a beautiful vehicle that is now increasingly hard to come by.

N/AOdometer reading: N/AMOT expiry date: N/A *Powerful 4,425cc six-cylinder engine and six-wheel drive*Consistently serviced and maintained by military engineers*Low hours/miles as museum piece for many yearsThis GMC DUKW model 353 2.5 ton 6 X 6 amphibious troop carrier was manufactured by General Motors in 1943 and was delivered to the British armed forces in June of that year. It served the 19 Amphibious Squadron of the Royal Corps of Transport but unfortunately there is no record of its war time involvement with the D Day landings. A rare survivor, it transferred to the Royal Corps of Transport Museum in the early 1970s.The DUKW was held as part of a collection at the School of Mechanical Transport in Leconfield and remained the property of the Ministry of Defence. The collection was loaned to the Museum of Army Transport in Beverley, Yorkshire where the DUKW was displayed and kept in running condition until the museum's closure in 2003.

1983 Land Rover Series III 109' Pick UpRegistration no. DJV 467YChassis no. SALLBCAG1AA170178Odometer reading. 68,418MOT expiry date. TBA*An honest and rugged vehicle with great character*Recent galvanised chassis with good bodywork and recent new interior*Fitted with excellent dropside body and very rare winchThis 1983 Series 3 109' chassis cab pickup is believed to have been restored in the late 1990s when it received a galvanised chassis and the nicely constructed wooden drop side bed. Its diesel engine is of course very economical and it starts easily in all weathers. It is fitted with the very rare genuine Land Rover hydraulic winch - said to have cost as much as the base vehicle from Land Rover when new. This is one of very few working MK 2 winches known to survive. In keeping with its rugged background, it is fitted with a set of ex army wheels and very good Goodyear G8 tyres. There is a newly fitted interior with three seats, in the superior deluxe trim. The body is in generally in good order and the door frame bottoms were refurbished this year. The drop sides of the attractive wooden rear body may be removed in moments to give a useful flat bed arrangement.The mileage is believed to be correct but there are no records and the truck was built at a time before Land Rovers became collector items. The Land Rover benefits from mainly original factory paint and the original stickers in the engine bay seem to be original and untouched. Refreshing in its workaday honesty, this Land Rover is said by the owner to be a faithful friend with more patina than a rusty shovel! It passed its last MOT in June 2018 and has seen almost no use since.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 61/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

STEINBECK, John (1902-1968). The Pastures of Heaven. New York: Brewer, Warren & Putnam, 1932. 8vo. Original publisher's green gilt-lettered cloth, top edge stained black (some minor fading to spine ends, very slightly leaned); original silver dust jacket lettered in blue with gold stars (some minor soiling, creasing or rubbing, chipping with small losses to spine ends and a few edges, slight rubbing primarily to folds). Provenance: Louis Paul (ca 1902-1970), American author and Steinbeck correspondent (presentation inscription, autograph note by Steinbeck tipped in, see below).FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, IN THE FIRST ISSUE DUST JACKET. PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY STEINBECK: "For Louis Paul: that I wish I could write as good as him, John Steinbeck, Los Gatos, 1936." Steinbeck adds a postscript: "I wonder what will become of us now! And I could wish that this book might possibly give you as much pleasure as your wanting me to sign it gives me. J.S." Of the 2,500 copies printed, only 1,650 were bound, and of those, only 650 sold. Ballou later bought the remaining copies, and it has become the most popular of Steinbeck's three earliest novels. A SUPERB ASSOCIATION COPY. [Tipped in:] STEINBECK. Autograph note, to Louis Paul, n.d., n.p. In full: "Where'd you get hold of this. The double imprint B. W. & P. is very rare. Ballou tipped in his house information almost the day of publication. This super first edition I'm told is hard to get. I see that Shumlin has turned down my new playing novel. I grow more and more convinced that any book which gets by easily is a lousy book. It can almost be made axiomatic. Anyway I'll get this off."Steinbeck struck up a friendship with Louis Paul after reading his contribution to the O. Henry Prize Stories of 1934. Steinbeck shares his endorsement of Paul in a 24 November 1937 letter to his literary agents Elizabeth Otis, Anne Laurie Williams and Mavis McIntosh: "I'm bringing you a new client. Louis Paul. He's a swell egg and you will like him. And he's well enough known so that it may not be hard to sell his stories. I like him immensely" (Steinbeck, A Life in Letters, p. 144, 1975).
