Major Commandant of the Ayr and Kilmarnock Volunteer Riflemen, by the Non Commissioned Officer`s and Privates of that Corps, in testimony of their attachment, respect and gratitude to him, for his unremitting assiduity in promoting the interest of the regiment. October 1804 Alexander West Hamilton (c. 1765-1837) was the second son of John Hamilton of Sundrum, Ayrshire, (1739-1821) and Lilias Montgomerie (1743-1827), sister of the 12th Earl of Eglinton, who married in Edinburgh in April 1762. As well as being substantial and well-connected merchants and landed proprietors in Ayrshire, that branch of the Hamilton family owned sugar plantations in Jamaica and it is known that Alexander West Hamilton spent some of his early years in that island, perhaps gaining his first military experience there. He is recorded as being a lieutenant in the artillery company of the 1st (or St Mary`s) battalion of the St Mary`s and St George`s Regiment of Jamaica Militia in 1790 and was appointed aide-de-camp to the Governor of Jamaica, the Earl of Balcarres, in the rank of lieutenant-colonel in December 1800. Following the collapse of the Peace of Amiens and the outbreak of the war with Napoleonic France in 1803, troops of yeomanry and companies of volunteer infantry were raised throughout Britain for home defence. In Ayrshire, the Ayr Volunteer Riflemen and the Kilmarnock Volunteer Riflemen were both raised in August 1803, the Ayr Riflemen 100 men strong and the Kilmarnock Riflemen with a strength of 60 men. Hamilton was given command of the Ayr Riflemen in the rank of captain. In February 1804, the two units amalgamated to form the Ayr and Kilmarnock Volunteer Riflemen and Hamilton was promoted major commandant. Throughout 1804 and 1805, as the threat of invasion from France increased, the unit grew in size; by October 1805, when Hamilton was promoted lieutenant-colonel commandant, it comprised six companies, containing nearly 400 men of all ranks, and had changed its title to the Ayrshire Volunteer Rifle Battalion (sometimes referred to as the Ayrshire Rifle Battalion). By 1806, the battalion was dressed in green jackets with green facings, green breeches and black lace. In September 1808, the battalion was subsumed into the Ayrshire Local Militia but retained its separate identity and title; it may have continued in existence until 1816, although Hamilton is recorded as having been in Jamaica in 1814. While the ending of the war with France in 1815 removed the threat of invasion, periods of domestic unrest (at a time when Britain lacked a police force) continued to necessitate the existence of units of volunteer soldiers whose role was to maintain law and order and the status quo for the governing classes. One of these was the Loyal Ayr Volunteers, also known as the Ayr Infantry; it was raised in an initial four companies in November 1819 under the command of Hamilton as its lieutenant-colonel; its officers were all commissioned in April 1820 but Hamilton relinquished command on 12th August 1822. Hamilton`s two wives were found from the landed gentry of Ayrshire. His first wife was Mary, daughter of James Ritchie of Coylton, whom he married in March 1805; she died in January 1806, probably in childbirth. His second wife was his cousin, Hamilla (d. 1852), daughter of Alexander Montgomerie of Annick Lodge (1744-1802), whom he married in January 1816; the couple had eight children, seven daughters and a son. In 1829, Hamilton inherited the Ayrshire estates of Belleisle and Pinmore from his uncle, Hugh Hamilton. Following the ending of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, Hamilton received more than £2,000 (more than £100,000 today) in compensation for the freeing of the 102 slaves that until their emancipation were retained on his two estates in Jamaica. Henry Tatham, a prominent Royal sword cutler, worked at this address from 1798 until his death in 1835 after which the firm continued until 1860. See Southwick 2001, p. 237. An identical sword, though unsigned, to Lieutenant Colonel the Honourable William Monson and dated 1802 was sold in these rooms 25 June 2008, lot 195.

1986 MASERATIi Bi-TURBO CABRiOLET Châssis n° AM452/09 Première main/ One owner Excellent état génaral Titre de circulation européen Quand DE TOMASO rachète la marque MASERATI à Citroën en 1975. Il développera la fameuse Bi-Turbo qui sera présentée à Modena le 14 décembre 1981. Ce tout nouveau moteur V6 possède deux arbres à cames par rangée de cylindres deux turbocompresseurs comme son nom lÂ’indique et trois soupapes par cylindre. Sa cylindrée de 2 000 cm3 est dictée par la loi fi scale italienne qui surtaxe les cylindrées supérieures mais pour lÂ’exportation elle passe à 2 500 cm3. La ligne générale est très classique et ne manque pas dÂ’élégance la belle nÂ’emprunte pas son style à ses prédécesseurs et propose des courbes anguleuses typiques des années 80. LÂ’aura de MASERATI un prix contenu et les qualités dynamiques de lÂ’auto vont engendrer un succès sans précédent. Avec le temps le modèle évoluera en cylindrée et en puissance une version cabriolet et une quatre portes verront aussi le jour. En ce qui concerne le cabriolet son dessin est dû à la Carrozzeria Zagato. Cette version est lancée en 1984 sur un empattement raccourci de 110 mm à 2 400 mm. Les MASERATI biturbo ont été produites de 1981 à 1998 à près de 38 000 exemplaires dont seulement 3 176 cabriolets entre 1984 et 1993. Son tempérament et ses excellentes performances rendent le modèle très agréable à utiliser. Coté fi nitions intérieures cÂ’est un luxe raffi né qui est privilégié sans être ostentatoire la voiture est discrète dans lÂ’ensemble mais reste une petite « bombe » le V6 permet une utilisation quotidienne avec conduite raisonnable. Par contre à partir de 3500 tr/min accrochez-vousÂ… les deux turbos sont diablement effi caces ! Notre modèle fi dèle à lÂ’esprit du véhicule se présente dans un élégant gris métallisé la capote noire y trouve parfaitement sa place et lÂ’intérieur cossu vous rappelle que vous êtes avant tout chez la prestigieuse marque au trident. La voiture nÂ’a jamais été restaurée car cÂ’est une première main et quÂ’elle a toujours été parfaitement entretenue par un propriétaire Italien très méticuleux. Le modèle est donc en version V6 Bi-turbo 1996 cm 3. La courroie de distribution a été changée récemment et lÂ’ensemble a été révisé. Dans lÂ’ensemble cÂ’est une voiture qui se présente dans un très bel état général et pourtant elle date quand même de 1986 ! When DE TOMASO bought MASERATI 1975 he wants to stop prestigious vehicle which haven a good reputation and which was a semi-failure. For example Bora was stopped because it was no longer profi table and there was no much demand from the public. MASERATI needed to change the response by DE TOMASO is a Bi-Turbo V6 more affordable and less prestigious but still sporty and luxurious. Typical from 80Â’s design angulous curves are well integrated the car is unobtrusive polyvalent and dynamic. A convertible Version by Zagato was launched in 1984 3176 cars were produced on 38000 products initially. Our car is an Italian version: in order to avoid state vehicle taxation it is a 2000cm 3 not a 2500cm3like models dedicated to the exportation. ItÂ’ a metallic grey version with classy beige leather and wood panels on it. The hood is blue and everything looks in a very good shape! The vehicle is a fi rst hand by a meticulous Italian owner. ItÂ’s a 1986 version with the 1996cm3 V6 Bi-Turbo on it. Timing Belt kit was fully replaced recently and car has been completely serviced recently.
