Lot 1
John Makepeace, an oak boardroom table and fourteen oak open armchairs, last quarter 20th century, the rectangular table top with slightly curved sides on an angled cross-stretchered base, 63cm high, 449cm long, 159cm deep; each chair with a scroll rear support and twin diagonal stretchers, 101.5cm high. Provenance: The property of De La Rue Plc, commissioned for the boardroom of Portals Plc. This suite was designed for the converted mill used as the boardroom of the paper manufacturers Portals Plc. Makepeace has noted 'A major consideration of the design of the chairs was their comfort during extended meetings. The structure of the chairs is unusual in that the diagonal braces stiffen the chairs both laterally and back to front. The curved seat frame has a woven platform of hemp and upholstery of natural fibres with an unbleached leather cover. The chairs are finished with an oil. The double curvature of the back provided excellent lumbar support. The slats are laminated for flexibility and strength'. See Sothebys Olympia sale 'Fine Decorative Arts and Design from 1870' sale 27th February 2003, lot 236 for a pair of prototype chairs from this commission

1928 ROLLS-ROYCE 20 HP OPEN FOUR SEAT TOURER PRESENT OWNER 23 YEARS & NICE EXAMPLE Estimate £18000 - 22000 Registration Number SV 6837 Chassis Number GFN 47 Engine Number B2B Engine Capacity 3127 Paint Colour CREAM/BLACK Trim Colour BLUE MOT Expiry Date MAY 2007 Introduced in 1922, the Rolls-Royce 20HP was shorter, lighter and wieldlier than its 40/50HP Silver Ghost stablemate. Boasting an overhead-valve 3127cc six-cylinder engine that was less than half the size but almost two-thirds as powerful as the sidevalve unit which propelled its sibling, the model appealed to new and existing customers alike. Specifically designed to be cheaper and easier to maintain - though built to the same exacting standards which had made the marque world famous - the 20HP utilised all-round leaf-sprung suspension and a fully floating 'Hotchkiss Drive' back axle (complete with spiral bevel differential). Progressively updated with a four-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel brakes, the 'baby' Rolls remained in production until 1929 by which time some 2,940 are thought to have been made.Finished in cream over black with blue leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "reasonable" (paintwork), "good" (electrical equipment, interior trim) or "very good" (engine, four-speed manual gearbox, chassis, bodywork, wheels / tyres) condition. Rebodied as an open four-seat tourer prior to entering the current ownership in 1984, chassis number 'GFN 47' is understood to have been "on the road for summer use every year since". Apparently found to have an excellent 'bottom end' while it was being rebored and fitted with new Hepworth pistons some 1,500 miles ago, the engine is said to "show normal Rolls-Royce oil pressure". Benefiting from a rear-mounted luggage trunk, flashing indicators and weather equipment, this appealing 20HP is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until May 4th 2007 and historic class (free) road tax valid until April 30th 2007. A measure of his confidence in 'GFN 47', the seller has informed us that he intends to drive it the 70odd miles to Cheltenham!

1936 RILEY KESTREL FOUR DOOR FASTBACK SALOON RARE SPECIAL SERIES 66K & REALLY LOVELY Estimate £10000 - 12000 Registration Number ANP 999 Chassis Number S66K1694 Engine Number 60344 Engine Capacity 1089 Paint Colour RED/BLACK Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. "We make far too many models of course. But then we have a pretty fertile design department, and we like making nice, interesting cars" (Riley Advertising, September 1936). Introduced in 1926, the Riley 9hp range heralded the beginning of a golden era for the Coventry firm that lasted until its acquisition by the Nuffield Organisation during 1938. While the efforts of Freddie Dixon and others helped to establish a formidable competition record, the road cars won acclaim for offering performance levels that belied their relatively small engine capacities. Launched in late 1932, the 9hp Kestrel was based around a low-slung ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. A compact, fastbacked four-door saloon, it was powered by the marque's jewel-like 1087cc 'twin-cam' four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Distinguished from its brethren by a lower roofline and twin horns, the Kestrel was bodied in aluminium over a timber frame. Boasting a surprisingly spacious interior trimmed with good quality hides, thick carpets and plenty of wood veneer, it remained in production until 1936. Registered on the 11th May 1936 to a Mrs. E.M. Whittaker, who strangely only kept it until the October that year, this rare and highly desirable Special Series 66k four door fastback saloon has had just six further known owners since. Following the short first ownership the second, a Mr. C.F. Dearing, made up for it by keeping the car until 1965 whereupon, after passing though three more owners, it arrived with Richard 'Dickie' Adams in 1996. He started a 4000 hour restoration which took 30 months and it's first outing was to a Riley meeting on New Years Day 1999. It covered about 3000 miles before a piston failed whereupon the engine was rebuilt by Riley expert Barrie Gillies with new high compression pistons, a block twin exhaust cam conversion for increased performance, the radiator was modified for the fitment of a temperature gauge and a stainless steel exhaust was fitted - all less than 250 miles ago. We are informed by the vendor that ANP 999 was restored to the highest standards, as befits an aircraft engineer, and as testament to this it received several awards at Riley and other events. The upholstery has been carefully preserved and the trim, opening glass and sunroof are all excellent. The inflatable airbag seat cushions were remanufactured, the chassis was galvanised and zinc sprayed, all the rust was removed, all the rotten woodwork was replaced and it was rewired. A delightful car that performs well with an extremely good ride, an excellent steering response but it will benefit from use and settling in, especially now that it has more power.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now comes with MOT and Road Fund Licence until February 2008.

1940 LAGONDA V12 DROPHEAD COUPE WORKS DEMONSTRATOR, LATER MADE INTO DHC Estimate £45000 - 50000 Registration Number JPG 654 Chassis Number 16063 Engine Number 16063 Engine Capacity 4480 Paint Colour MID BLUE Trim Colour LIGHT GREY MOT Expiry Date NONE If not W.O. Bentley's greatest achievement then certainly his final masterpiece, the Lagonda V12 was unveiled at the October 1936 Olympia Motor Show (but not officially launched for another year). Intended to marry limousine refinement to sportscar performance, it was based around a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with independent front suspension, a Salisbury hypoid back axle and Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes. Powered by an advanced overhead-camshaft 4480cc V12 engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the Lagonda flagship boasted 100mph plus performance. Available in 10'4", 11'0" and 11'6" wheelbase lengths, just 200 or so were made before production ceased during 1940.According to information kindly supplied by the Hon. Registrar of The Lagonda Club, Arnold Davey, chassis number '16063' was among a batch of approximately twenty cars that were still under construction when WW2 broke out. Put into storage at Flood St, Chelsea until summer 1940 (when the government sanctioned its completion), the 11'0" wheelbase car was clad with Lagonda's own saloon coachwork. Retained by the Works as a demonstrator, the V12 was road tested in the September 1941 issue of Motor Sport. Purchased by its first private owner, North Country comedian Frank Randall, during 1945, the car was to remain in his possession for a decade. Known to have passed through the hands of A.A. Russell and Tom Pinguey thereafter, '16063' was acquired by its previous keeper Dr F.W. Landgrebe of Clwyd Wen, Glamorgan in 1962. Reportedly treated to an extensive engine overhaul by Cotswold Engineering during 1992, the Lagonda was later stripped back to a bare chassis. Confronted with a rotten ash frame, the decision was taken to rebody the V12 in the style of a Vanden Plas drophead coupe (the famous coachbuilder's design was the only convertible one the seller could find for the 11'0" wheelbase chassis). Thought to retain its original factory coachwork from front bumper to A-posts and then from rear seat to tailpipes, the restoration / conversion work also saw '16063' repainted and re-trimmed. Upgraded with a "Jaguar four-speed overdrive gearbox" so as to allow more relaxed high-speed cruising (a straight forward modification given the original unit's separate location), the V12 has apparently had its instruments recalibrated to suit. Off the road since 2001 with starter motor problems (after seven rebuilds the offending component has now been replaced by a more modern alternative), '16063' is variously described by the vendor as being in "sound" (bodywork), "good" (gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, wheels / tyres) or "excellent" (4480cc engine, chassis) condition. Though, he concedes that the paint "needs work".PLEASE NOTE: The vendor has informed us that the original gearbox for this vehicle is available via separate negotiation.

1997 HONDA DREAMEstimate £1800 - 2200 Registration Number N/A Frame Number AC15-1007341 Engine Number Engine Capacity 49 Paint Colour RED MOT Expiry Date RFL Expiry Date The Honda Dream 50 was released initially as a limited edition model drawing it's inspiration from the CR110 of the 1960's. Although the little twin cam CR110 is best known in Europe as a pure racing motorcycle it was available in Japan as a high performance road bike restricted to approximately 62mph with full road equipment. The Dream 50 replicates the appearance of its predecessor with its red frame and silver fuel tank and seat unit. A front disc brake is an improvement over the drum unit fitted to the sixties machine. Honda offered a comprehensive range of tuning parts and accessories for the little machine which has established a cult following since its release. The example offered is in brand new, unused condition. The protective polythene wrapping is still present on the saddle as are all of the warning stickers. The odometer displays approximately .5 of mile accrued when it has been moved around. It is offered with a C&E 386 demonstrating that it is vat and duty paid in the UK.

1965 DUCATI RACER BUILT FOR CLUB RACING & TRACK DAYS Estimate £1600 - 2000 Registration Number N/A Frame Number DM200X154230 Engine Number DM250M101043 Engine Capacity 250 Paint Colour RED/BLACK MOT Expiry Date RFL Expiry Date Modified Ducati singles have for a long time provided a cost effective and competitive means to go racing. A wealth of tuning knowledge and parts exists for the machines facilitating the metamorphosis to take place. This pretty example was restored in approximately 1995 for club racing and track day use. The narrow case 250cc engine is housed in a frame equipped with rear sets, fibreglass racing tank and seat unit and clip-ons. The condition of the engine, transmission, cycle parts and suspension are all described as being in good to excellent condition although it should be noted that it has not been used recently.

1935 ALVIS FIREBIRD TWO SEAT OPEN TOURER A LOVELY EXAMPLE READY FOR SUMMER Estimate £15000 - 18000 Registration Number BCE 720 Chassis Number 13437 Engine Number 13887 Engine Capacity 1842 Paint Colour GREEN Trim Colour PLUM MOT Expiry Date MAR 2007 Introduced in September 1934, the Alvis Firebird was built to the same high standards as its more expensive brethren. Notably low-slung, it was based on a 'double-dropped' ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, friction dampers and four-wheel 14in drum brakes. Utilising a 9ft 10.5in wheelbase and 4ft 4in track, the model was praised by the contemporary motoring pressing for its ride / handling capabilities. Powered by a 1842cc OHV engine - essentially a four-cylinder version of that found in the contemporary Speed 20 SC - allied to four-speed all-synchromesh transmission, the Firebird was reputedly capable of 75mph. Available with a choice of saloon, tourer or drophead coupe coachwork, it remained in production until 1936 by which time just 449 are thought to have been sold.First registered in Cambridgeshire (or so its number plate would imply), 'BCE 720' is said to have been reconfigured from saloon to tourer during the current family ownership. Reportedly underpinned by a new wooden frame, its sleek green bodywork is offset by a freshly trimmed plum leather interior complete with matching carpets and Cherry Wood dashboard / door cappings. A measure of the thought that went into the restoration / conversion, the Firebird's hood frame was apparently computer designed. While, other nice touches include a side-mounted spare wheel, discreet flashing indicators, double-duck weather equipment and avian mascot. Understood to have done "no mileage since last MOT" due to the sad death of the project's instigator, this lovingly wrought Alvis is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until March 25th 2007 and historic class (free) road tax valid until March 2008.

1963 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER CLOUD III LWB EXCEPTIONAL CAR WITH ELECTRIC DIVISION Estimate £22000 - 26000 Registration Number DRS720A Chassis Number CAL43 Engine Number 5150 Engine Capacity 6230 Paint Colour BURGUNDY Trim Colour BEIGE MOT Expiry Date APRIL 2007 Final evolution of the Rolls-Royce Cloud Series, the Cloud III was launched in late 1962. Sporting the same imposing silhouette as its predecessors, the newcomer was distinguished by quad headlamps, a lower bonnet line and correspondingly sleeker front wings (complete with indicator units frenched into their leading edges). In keeping with its sharpened appearance, the imposing front and rear chrome bumpers wore more modest over-riders. To the interior, the driver and front seat passenger gained separate chairs, while those in the rear benefited from a more upright back to their bench seat and narrower side bolsters. Mechanically, the model's massive cruciform-braced box-section chassis featured independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a hypoid bevel rear axle, all round drum brakes, power assisted steering and four speed automatic transmission. Though, to capitalise on the smaller frontal area, its 6230cc V8 engine gained more power via a carburettor modification and higher compression ratio. Thus, the Cloud III claimed both a higher top speed and better acceleration than its predecessors at 116mph and 0-60mph in 10.8 seconds respectively. Available in either standard or long wheelbase guises, the latter variant accounted for some 254 special orders. Of these a mere forty-seven were entrusted to outside coachbuilders, the rest being despatched to Park Ward's West London works where their Standard Steel Saloon bodies were deftly modified to incorporate elongated rear doors and enlarged rear three-quarter windows. Finished in metallic pink champagne over burgundy with beige leather upholstery, this particular long wheelbase example is variously described by the vendor as being in "good" (6230cc engine, four-speed automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim) or "A1" (chassis, bodywork, paintwork, wheels / tyres) condition. Thought to retain its original upholstery, 'DRS 720A' further benefits from an electric division, electric windows and rear picnic tables. A rare and striking motor car, it is offered for sale with MOT certificate and historic class (free) road tax until April 2007.
