The chair is named after him after a similar chair that appears in several of his paintings. Many discerning collectors of period pieces regard the Gainsborough chair as exemplifying the very best in English furniture.Visiting dignitaries to the White House are regularly seen together with the United States President seated in a pair of Gainsborough chairs or perhaps more correctly a pair of Martha Washington chairs as is their American name.Gainsborough chairs are characterised as being wide with a high back, open sides, and short arms set well back from the seat to which they are connected by a concave curving support. The legs may be fluted or carved. Here, the stuff-over seat is raised on scallop shell-headed cabriole legs that terminate on hairy lion paw feet to the fore while the back legs are carved with acanthus leaves. The chair bears an inventory number (7645) and is dated as being circa 1740 – 1760.

Launched in late in 1994 was Jaguars new XJ Range or “X300” the first to be done under the company’s new Ford ownership. While on the outside it looked fairly different to its predecessor the “X40”, underneath it was more of an evolution. But in amongst the various options available was a first for Jaguar, a “super-charged” version of their superb straight six 4 litre engine that with its Eaton M90 supercharger and an air-water intercooler was quoted as producing a very healthy 322 brake horse power, enough to get it from 0 – 60mph in sub 6 seconds! The “X306” XJR6.This particular Margch 1996 example has been off the road in a doctor’s garage since apx. 2011 but now with a new battery is running beautifully and will have a new MOT prior to being sold. Unfortunately one problem it does have and common to these cars, is the pixels on the Odometer reading and clock have deteriorated to the point it makes the mileage covered hard to read. You can see its 90 something thousand and the mileage at its last MOT was 93155, in fact all its MOTs are listed back to 2006 where it had only covered 65859 miles, so not a high miler for sure.The Interior is very good and points again to its low recorded mileage. Just the driver’s outer side seat back bolster showing signs of duress. Otherwise the leather has survived very well indeed and you get that lovely air of quality when sat inside that so many other companies try so hard to replicate but somehow just don’t get it right? The electrics all appear to function, 4 way electric windows, heater blower, electric front seat etc. Even the original stereo is still in place and working along with its electric aerial.Body work is good but never having been restored there are areas where the lacquer on the paint has thinned from excessive polishing, mainly on the boot lid. Some dinks and marks here and there but very little rust and still looks great! The special alloys the “R” came with are very good, in fact the spare looks brand new!The engine? Well that’s as silky smooth as the day it left the factory with the 4 speed “switchable” Automatic box it is coupled to, changing gear seamlessly. Oil pressure is very good, temperature sits just on the normal mark and does not move. In fact if it was not for the Rev counter, on tick over with the windows closed, you would think it had stalled! Press the throttle and no being thrown back in the seat like a turbo charged car does, just an instant increase in power, no lag, just a constantly increasing “push” until the box changes gear, then off you go again.General mechanics and electrics are all good and as said will be up to or past the MOT requirements. Cars such as this just could not be available for such little amounts of money for much longer in fact values are now up and will continue in that direction we are sure. With only 6500 “XJR’s” being built over a 4 year production run, this is already a rare car!NOTE: New MOT in place and the vendor tells us it had 4 new tyres fitted.
Lot 112
Ford Escort MK1 4 Door LHD 1100L 1973 - This very pretty rust free 1973 1100L MK1 Escort has recently arrived in the UK from sunnier climes in the south of France, hence being left hand drive.Having been one family owned from new, who used it rarely, the odometer displays a low 53,451 KMs. While the vendor has no official way to support this and draws the conclusion that this could be correct on the strength of that was what he was told and its general condition. We do not state this is a warranted mileage, so have a good look and make your own mind up.The body itself is very good with no signs or damage repair or rust, while under the bonnet where the suspension top plates that are famous for rusting are, same thing, never been replaced and basically as good as you will find. The silver paint still looks fresh and the chrome work is excellent.Interior is also very good apart from a mis-match of the brown on the driver’s seat due to a retrim being off colour and one small split on the dash, apart from the seat cover though all is original .Mechanically the vendor reports that it drives very well, assisted by the fact that although only an 1100cc it has under French law the required brake servo which vastly improves the brakes over a standard 1100’s system. All electrics function correctly and the general mechanics are all good including the tyres on their original rims with original hub caps.While the values of 2 Door cars continue to rise month on month, pricing many people out of the market, 4 door variants are now becoming much more desirable (let’s face it they are more user friendly if more than two people are going to regularly travel in it). Any MK1 Escort is hard to find in this condition and with a small amount of effort this car could be a show winner.Supplied with French papers to allow age related registration if its to be registered here in the UK (advice freely given) or for the proof you need to register if exported out of the UK. Offered here with a very sensible reserve.
Lot 144
Norton 750 Atlas 1963 “Cafe Racer” - Now if you are reading this, the likely hood is you were of an age in the sixties when you either walked round in tight fitting trousers and a Parka style jacket and rode small two stroke Italian motorcycles with ten inch wheels or you spent most of your time hanging around outside places like London’s “Ace Café” in jeans and a leather jacket trying to look like Marlon Brando. If you fit into the latter category then your bike of choice might well of looked like this 1963 Norton Atlas .From its “dropped bars” through the skinny alloy tank and its single seat with bum stop, it just looks right. Originally designed for the American market, to satisfy their lust for big cc motors (the Atlas name, apparently, came from the name of America’s Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) its 750 cc twin engine was mounted in Norton’s legendary “Featherbed” frame. Giving the engine a frame that handled as well as it went.With only 5 keepers and having spent the last few years in a private collection, it will need some amount of recommissioning. Condition is lovely if you want something that is a useable bike. There are some marks etc on it but that is what makes this particular bike look so right in our opinion.Long overshadowed by the single cylinder bikes from Norton, these big twins are now coming into their own, being a third of the price helps! But with very few new examples coming to market, values are now moving upwards quickly so this bike represents a rare opportunity to own one at a sensible price. Plus you can dress up like Marlon Brando but that’s another story!
Lot 198
Mini Mayfair 1000 1987 - Described as a “Bonny little car that makes you smile when you drive it!” When you drive a Mini, even a bad one which this one certainly isn’t, you can understand just what the vendor means. Why the Mini is loved throughout the world and is probably the most recognised car ever built. Even BL in their darkest hours could not kill it, just “EU” impact laws finally killing it off!This nice “Mayfair” Edition has the 998cc motor and manual gearbox, giving crisp performance and the better more “Up-Market” interior complete with nicer seat trim and wooden dash. The vendor bought the car as a bit of a project for himself, running and good on the body but needing things like a new rear sub frame and as he says “A good overhaul”. This has all now been done by him and there is a current MOT through to January next year.The mileage is showing as 57K but the car came with no history so no guarantee that as correct, but the condition of things like the interior trim, which is all good, would suggest this could be correct. The engine and gearbox are both very good and again could point to the low miles showing. Exterior is very good and helping with this are a nice set of period alloy wheels that have been fitted instead of the standard wheels the Mayfair came with. Paintwork is shiny and all the bright work is good.Mechanically and electrics are now good, with any problems recently being addressed for its MOT. This is a good example of a sought after car that is ready to go and make a new owner smile.
Lot 131
MGB GT 1979 Manual with Overdrive - This nice and unusual in white, MGB GT was last used when it participated a European road Rally which it completed without a problem, then on its return home it was parked in a garage which is where it has been since 2008.Overall the body work is very good, nice and straight with only minor areas that could be improved on and in no way to be mixed up with the rusty hulks often offered for sale. Its solid condition you would think, is due in the main by the anti-rust treatment this car has had, the presence of anti-rust treatment plugs in the holes they drill to fill the chassis doors etc with treatment proving this. It is equipped with a rare Webasto slide back vinyl roof which does have two small splits, one each side where it folds, but is still serviceable and looks to be the original.Interior is good with the original seat covers in place. There are no nasty rips etc but there are some marks from where items had been stored in the car, these may clean. Roof lining is very good, as is the dash that has no damage at all, the floor carpets are good as well. Mileage on the clock reads 85387 and looks like it could be original, but with no history there is no proof of this. There is however, a very nice “Moto-Lita” steering wheel in place. This was fitted prior to the European trip and that is the only use it has had.Mechanically the engine and box are both good, with the engine showing very good oil pressure even when hot. The general mechanics are good with brakes etc working and all the electrics function properly. To sum up, this is not a show car but one you can use and improve as you go, or just leave it alone and just enjoy owning one of Britain’s favourite and much loved classic cars.With prices on these “Rubber Bumper” models now heavily on the up, it’s refreshing to have a running driving solid car being offered at a sensible reserve.
