Lot 1015
1974 AUSTIN MAXI, 1748 cc, Registration number SOA 515M, Chassis number AH5SC200755M, Engine number 31321, The Maxi (code name ADO14) was the last car designed under the British Motor Corporation before it was incorporated into the new British Leyland group, and was the last production car designed by famed designer Alec Issigonis. It was in production from 1969 - 1981. Underneath the Maxi's practical and spacious body shell lay an all-new front wheel drive chassis, which was interlinked with an innovative five-speed manual transmission. Power came from a 1485 cc, E-Series engine, the 1750 and win-carburettor 1750 HL models, were added to the range in 1971. One unusual feature of this car was that the rear back seat, as well as folding forward as in a conventional hatchback, also folded back In combination with fully reclining front seats this gave sleeping accommodation. This well-kept example has been in the family since 2002 and has only four owners, they are long term Maxi owners, this being the fourth example the family have owned. The overall good condition of the interior and MOT's from the early 2000's would suggest that the mileage of some 67,000 could well be original. Having been stored for the last couple years the car is now surplus to requirements. Sold with the V5C, owner's handbook, a 2015 invoice for £755 for works associated with the MOT that year, various old MOT's and tax discs. It should be noted that as the car was produced before the 1st January 1976 it no longer requires road tax as it is a historic vehicle.

1961 BSA A7 Shooting Star 500cc, registration number 940 UYS, frame number GA717862, engine number CA7SS8639. In 1954 BSA introduced its answer to Triumph's Tiger 100, in the shape of the A7 Shooting Star. This sporty 32bhp version of the A7 used an alloy cylinder head, as also fitted tothe 650 Road Rocket version, with special valve seat inserts, higher comp pistons, sports cam and manual ignition control, operated by the rider's left hand. The Shooting Star also incorporated full width aluminium hubs and central cast-in alloy drum brakes. BSA claimed these were 'extremely powerful' and indeed they could stop the A7SS from 30mph in 29 feet on dry tarmac. The Motor Cycle Magazine tested a machine back in 1957 when it was brand new. They said that "ease of handling, sweet transmission and smooth low speed pulling make the Shooting Star a delightful machine to ride in traffic, whilst zestful acceleration and steering cater admirably for the rider who wants something out of the ordinary in 500cc performance". The A7SS reached 98mph and covered a standing quarter mile in 16.9 seconds. According to our vendor this example has been extensively renovated by the previous owner with a fully rebuilt engine and gearbox, the frame has been powder coated (covering the frame number) and then resprayed in the correct period Mist Green. Please note that it has only covered 12 miles since the rebuild so one should change the oil after some 500 miles. Said to be "on the button" it should require very little recommissioning to put on the road. Sold with the V5C, VE60 which lists the original registration number as 1048 WY and confirms the matching chassi and engine numbers and an MOT until March 2018.

A finely detailed handmade contemporary 1/10th scale static model; 1954 Ferrari Hydroplane, Nando Dell'Orto, with stand, rudder deficient.Achille Castoldi was good friends with Ferrari Formula One drivers Alberto Ascari and Luigi Villoresi and was also a wealthy powerboat racing privateer. In 1940 Castoldi set the world speed record of 81.1mph in the 400kg Class with his boat, "Arno". By 1953, Castoldi had decided to concentrate on setting top speed records. So he commissioned an 800kg Class, three-point hydroplane hull, and then approached marine construction newcomers, Scuderia Ferrari, to build the engine. What Ferrari supplied was a Type 375 V-12 Grand Prix engine that displaced 4493.7cc and produced approximately 385bhp. This engine spun the twin bladed propeller at up to 10,000rpm!At the January 1953 Campione d'Italia races, Castoldi piloted "Arno XI" to an unofficial top speed in excess of 124mph during the shakedown testing, prior to the official two-way run. However, his rival, Mario Verga achieved a speed record of 125.68mph. Two weeks later, he surpassed his own record with a two-way top speed of 140.74mph.In preparation for another attempt at breaking Verga's new record, Castoldi had a new engine built. This time, "Arno XI" was fitted with a new methanol burning, twin supercharged 4.5L Ferrari powerplant that now produced 600bhp.Ferrari sent Stefano Meazza, the chief race engineer of the Scuderia to help prepare the new supercharged engine. On the morning of October 15, 1953, Achille Castoldi succeeded in smashing the 800kg Class speed record with an average "flying kilometre" two-way speed of 150.49 mph. He followed up the performance later that day by setting another record in the "24 Nautical Miles" event.When Castoldi retired from hydroplane racing in 1954 he sold "Arno XI" to a wealthy engineer named Nando Dell'Orto. Dell'Orto revised the body lines of the engine cover and front fairing, added a large fin behind the driver for stability, and went on to race the boat for a few more years. The most notable success was a 2nd place finish in the 1965 900kg World Championship. It is the Dell'Orto revised boat which this model replicates...Scratch built to an exacting standard and measuring more than 36" (or 3ft) in length, this imposing model boasts Heartwood Honduras Mahogany wood, similar to that used by real boat builders, which has been expertly painted and varnished to a fine finish. The hood is wood (thin and light), not plastic as some lesser models are, and hundreds of copper nails and chrome trim combine to precisely duplicate the real boat's elegantly curved hull. Finally, in the cockpit, realistic gauges and switches, plus a leather seat complete the accuracy of the 1954 Dell'Orto hydroplane. The 'real thing' was sold at auction in March 2013 and fetched £765,000 this is a rather more cost effective option!
