Lot 130
A 1955 Austin A90 Westminster historic FIA rally car, registration number PSV 545, black. This A90 has formed part of a collection of rally cars. It was discovered as a barn find and the vendor informs us that it was exchanged for fabricating a trials sump guard. The Austin has been in the vendor's possession for over 20 years and was previously registered FVV 1344. The A90 was restored to compete in the 1994 Monte Carlo Challenge and was initially rebuilt to original specification apart from twin 1½ SU carburettors, seat belts, fog lights, a Halda trip meter and snow tyres. On its first Monte the Austin as described by the vendor had lost all brakes by the time it had reached Beaune in France but still managed to finish a very creditable and impressive 20th overall. By the time the Austin was ready for its second Monte, the car had been extensively uprated. It now featured a three litre engine from a Wolseley 110, four speed floor change gearbox from an Austin Princess, Wolseley 110 front disc brakes and the ability to fit snow chains to the rear wheels. The Austin has been campaigned in several other rallies, including LeJog finishing 7th overall on one occasion. The Austin is offered for auction with a comprehensive spares package including a spare 2600cc engine, two gearboxes, rear wheels with snow chains and a complete set of glass. The accompanying history file contains numerous receipts, handbooks, past MOTs and expired FIA documents. V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustration
Lot 131
A 1955 Humber Hawk historic rally car, registration number SLJ 205, Mist green. This Humber Hawk has been in the current ownership for over 20 years and has formed part of a collection of rally cars. It has been prepared for classic rallying and has competed in several international rallies including LeJog. This Hawk was acquired by the vendor with two other Humbers in 1995. The cars had been in storage since approximately 1976 and required restoration. The vendor was looking for a new challenge having completed three previous Monte Carlos and he saw the Hawk as a natural entrant for the LeJog reliability trial. A plan was hatched to restore the Hawk in readiness for the 1996 event and the car was restored with a rebuilt engine, floor change four speed gearbox with overdrive, servo assisted brakes, telescopic shock absorbers all round, seat belts front and rear, a Halda trip meter, fully fused wiring loom and tow bar. The rally was completed covering a total of 3,000 miles door to door at an average fuel consumption of 22 mpg. There is a large accompanying history with receipts, expired MOTs (last 2013), LeJog paperwork, finisher certificates for various international rallies, SORNs, a handbook and recollections of its LeJog experience. V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustration
Lot 156
A 1971 Triumph Spitfire Mk IV, registration number BAC 778J, Saffron yellow. This garage proprietor owned Spitfire has been the subject of a photographic full nut and bolt body off restoration. During the rebuild all suspect areas were cut out of the body and new panels were installed as necessary. A full respray was then undertaken inside and out in Saffron yellow. The black interior has been renewed throughout with new carpets, dashboard top, door cards, seat covers and renewed sear diaphragms and foams. The chassis and running gear have all seen a similar thorough restoration with all bushes, brake linings, brakes, brake pipes and other ancillaries all renewed or recondition as necessary. The engine was removed, checked, cleaned and serviced and has been tuned by Sigma Engineering before the engine bay was detailed with all new components. There is an accompanying history file containing numerous receipts for thousands of pounds and a photograph album of the restoration. This beautifully prepared and detailed Triumph is now offered for auction at a fraction of the cost one would expect to pay for a similar restoration. V5C, ***MOT to April 2016 (not February 2017)*** See illustration
Lot 132
A 1967 Humber Hawk estate historic rally car, registration number MDD 456F, Burnt almond. This now rare Humber estate has been campaigned by the vendor in various international rallies, including the arduous London to Cape Town Reliability Rally (a grueling 12,000 mile endurance test which passes through 27 countries along the way), and the Lands End to John O'Groats (LeJog) amongst others. In preparation for the London to Cape Town, the Humber was completely stripped and rebuilt with some creature comforts to aid comfort and driver pleasure. These included an air conditioning system, individual front seats, a 20 gallon fuel tank, the chassis was strengthened (with over plates), an oil cooler was fitted, rerouted fuel and brake lines inside the car, adjustable telescopic dampers and springs, and a Rootes floor change four speed gearbox with overdrive was fitted. All of the preparation certainly paid off as the car was very reliable with only minor problems being encountered on the epic journey. Since returning from Cape Town the Humber has seen some of the modifications returned to original specification including refitting of the bench front seat. This well proven historic rally car is offered for auction with a history file containing receipts, photographs of its exploits, magazines, handbooks and correspondence. RF60, V5C, no MOT, tax exempt See illustration

The solid wood frame with baluster turned front legs and rail, the two back rails carved, the rear legs with top scroll, the feet of the legs trimmed and repaired and the frame reinforced with iron strips and rods; the seat panel a later replacement cut down from a Victorian marquetry veneered piece. Property of a Kent collector; by inheritance 1970; formerly property of Jack Smith, antiquarian and collector of Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, UK, acquired 1920s-1960s. It was a common occurrence for the lower parts of furniture legs/feet to decay from the practice of washing down stone-flagged floors and the defective parts are then trimmed away. 8 kg, seat 46cm, height 102cm (Seat 18, height 40"). [No Reserve] Fair condition; legs trimmed, frame reinforced, seat panel split.

Property of a Kent collector; by inheritance 1970; formerly property of Jack Smith, antiquarian and collector of Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, UK, acquired 1920s-1960s.

Lot 486
19th-early 20th century AD. A very large canvas Qajar style painting with wooden frame depicting a female sitting on a padded divan with her right hand to her face, left hand holding a small glass, shelf with vase and fruit to the rear; the dress, seat, headdress and bracelets with ornamental bands and jewels; signature at bottom left. Property of an American lady; acquired 1970s-1990s. C.f. Ferrier, R.W. (ed), The Arts of Persia Yale, 1989, pp. 225-231 for a discussion on post-Safavid painting. In the eighteenth century European tastes began to filter into the Iranian court and this is most notable in the Qajar dynasty which took over the rule of the country at the end of that century. The style of painting shows many traditional Persian forms that are apparent in manuscripts, but there is an increase in western style clothing and particularly folk art styles that were popular in Europe at the time. Towards the nineteenth century a more fluid style appears and which remained popular into the early part of the twentieth century. 2.5 kg, 137 x 101cm (54 x 39 1/2"). Fine condition.
Lot 341
Early 20th century AD. A tall bronze decorative vase with high-relief flowers and birds to the body, openwork base with branches and blossom, two lateral handles each formed as a Fo lion modelled in the round; separate ebonised wooden stand. Property of a North East Essex collector; acquired in the 1980s. Vases such as these are generally found in pairs on the altars of Buddhist temples, or as a decorative element on the formal seating area of a high official. The use of these vases originated in China, where again, they are found in Buddhist and Daoist temples, or as a formal decorative arrangement around the seat of a elite member of society, or even the emperor himself. Vases can be seen, along with incense burners, in the throne hall of the Mansion of Heavenly Purity in the Forbidden City, Beijing, where the throne rooms served a ritual function, as opposed to business and administrative roles such as those in India and Europe. 14.9 kg, 81cm overall with stand (32"). Fine condition, repaired.
