A rare low production run Bentley in stunning order throughout.Number 130 of a total production run of 148Comprehensive history file with known ownership from day oneRREC aficionado owned and maintainedChosen as Best Example of the Model at the RREC Annual Rally at Burghley House in 2019A rare low production run Bentley in stunning order throughoutYour earliest inspection is encouraged and welcomedIntroduced in 1991, the Continental R was the first Bentley in 26 years that did not share its bodywork with a concurrent Rolls-Royce model and was inspired by the very stylish Continental R-Type of the 1950s. The elegant two-door coachwork was styled by John Heffernan and Ken Greenley, a duo whose résumé included sports cars like the Aston Martin Virage. At £175,000, however, this newcomer was one of the world's most expensive cars, although at least it was also one of the fastest. At launch, this latest Continental used the familiar 6.75-litre V8 with a big Garrett turbocharger and an intercooler in the same state of tune as in the Bentley Turbo R. Crewe still declined to provide official power outputs at the time, although it's estimated that around 325bhp was on tap, along with a huge amount of torque. Top speed was governed to 145mph, with 60mph arriving in just 6.6 seconds - all in a car weighing around 2.5 tons, on a 120-inch wheelbase and with an overall length of 17.5 feet!Five years later Bentley introduced a short-wheelbase version dubbed the Continental T that was equipped with an uprated engine developing 420 hp and an impressive 650 foot-pounds of torque available at only 2,200 rpm and it wasn't long before Bentley customers were expressing an interest in equipping the "wide-body" Continental R model with the T's more powerful engine. Shortly afterwards, the Continental R Mulliner was introduced at the 1999 Geneva Salon, its nomenclature paying homage to H.J. Mulliner, the British coachbuilder responsible for the original R-Type's breathtaking fastback bodywork. The R Mulliner's wide-body configuration offered spacious interior elegance restoring the rear legroom lost in the 'T', while the turbocharged V-8 was capable of rocketing the car to a top speed of nearly 170 mph. Individually tailored to customer order, the R Mulliner was Bentley's ultimate 20th-century combination of luxury and performance, produced in a modest quantity of as few as 148 examples.This superb example is finished in Silver Storm over Nero leather and is one of only thirteen produced in 2002 out of a total production run of just sixty-three right-hand-drive cars. Although the dealer's list price was a, not unsubstantial, £225,000 the first owner of this particular 'R' obviously did not leave too many of the boxes on the 'Options List' unticked as the final purchase price just over £242,000 in May 2002. The entire production run (1992 - 2003) amounted to just 148 in 'wide-body' configuration and our vendor's car is Number 130. In exceptional condition throughout and with a recorded mileage of just 32,338, this four owner from new and retired engineer owned Bentley is accompanied by a total and comprehensive service history including detailed invoices and every prior MOT and is offered freshly serviced and with a recently issued MOT Certificate.Our vendor is a very knowledgeable RREC and BDC supporter and although the car is regularly used, it remains beautifully presented as illustrated by being chosen as the Best Example of the Model in the 100 years of Bentley parade at the RREC Annual Rally at Burghley House in 2019.This is an opportunity to acquire one of the very best, if not the best Bentley 'Wide-body' on the road today.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveOne of approximately 243 Series 1 cars built and consequently now very rarePurchased and built by period Lotus stores man Jay 'JJ' Hall on 20/11/1959Immediately entered a long competition career, with period film capturing some eventsRelocated to Scandinavia in the mid 1960's and bought by Per Roxlin in 1985 Roxlin undertook a full restoration and upgraded it to 'Series A' spec with the desirable BMC 'A' Series 1098cc engine and 4-speed gearbox. The bodywork was restored by Williams & Pritchard, original Lotus coachbuildersRepatriated in 1995 by Rod Leach and remained in a private collection for around 20 yearsFabulous period competition history (separate panel) and eligible and welcome in historic motorsport todayStill immense fun on the road, and nicely restored with great history, this is a charming example of the embryonic Lotus SevenTypifying the maxim that a whole can be greater than the sum of its parts, the Lotus Seven was introduced at the 1957 Earls Court Motor Show. Based around a multi-tubular spaceframe chassis, the aluminium-panelled newcomer was powered by a choice of Ford 100E, Coventry Climax FWA or BMC A-series engines. Popular with sporting motorists and club racers alike, the Lotus Seven evolved through Series 2, 3 and 4 guises before the design rights were sold to Caterham in 1973.Sevens dominated club racing in the late 1950's and early 1960's, and with Team Lotus starting to give the established 'Scuderia' cause for concern internationally, the fever to go racing was rife for Lotus' in-house store's man, Jay 'J J' Hall. Astonishingly, our research into this car led us in early 2020 to catch up with Jay, who is now in his 80s, and discover the story of this Lotus direct from the source.Jay started working for Lotus in 1958 and, like all new recruits, was told upon his induction not to have any wild fantasies about 'staff discounts'. So when the itch to race needed scratching, Jay and some like-minded and highly talented colleagues sought to build their own cars instead. Led by renowned car designer Len Terry, the group's resulting sports car specials were known as the Terriers and they proved very effective. Too effective, in fact. Several wins and podiums not only upset Lotus owners, who disliked being beaten by something built by the factory workers, but Colin Chapman himself was furious. Len Terry was fired over the fiasco and, on the advice of Mike Costin, Jay sold his Terrier back to Len so that he could "build a demon Seven instead."Jay ordered this Seven as a complete set of un-assembled parts from Lotus Components, which was an option many Seven owners took as it saved the new car purchase tax that was applied to a car completed by the manufacturer, and was released from Lotus's new Cheshunt factory on 20th November 1959 - Jay's birthday. Lotus had moved its operations from Hornsey earlier in the year and Jay had found accommodation at the nearby White Horse Inn, negotiating the use of its garage in the process, and it was here that Lotus Seven chassis No.787 was delivered after Jay had pulled a favour from Lotus's van driver.Jay also persuaded Hertfordshire's registration office to allocate him the very appropriate registration number '787 JJH' - the car's chassis number, followed by his initials!All that was left to do was build it. The build was gradual, using spare weekends and evenings, and completed with the help of Lotus colleagues who all helped each other build their various projects. Jay would later ease the financial burden by selling a share in the car to colleagues Peter Hutcheon in 1960 and Mark Roberts in 1961.A 'Series F' car this Seven was fitted with the ubiquitous and reliable Ford 100E engine and 3-speed gearbox, and its 40bhp was more than enough to make this sub-500kg Lotus a real giant-killer. Once built, all that the Lotus needed was a livery and Jay commissioned sign-writer Roy Elmore to replicate the scheme adorning his traditional pudding bowl crash helmet: pale blue with a central white stripe.Jay and his 'shareholder' Peter Hutcheon spent their first three race meetings finding their feet at Silverstone over May & June 1960 and, in this evocatively innocent era, taught themselves to drive quickly using a book called 'How to Drive a Racing Car." This culminated in a 5th place for Jay in the 10-lap scratch race on 18th June. Jay and Peter continued entering as many events as possible throughout the summer and into September and even entered the hotly contested 1172cc Chapman Trophy series. Their exploits were captured in a number of stunning images, a film recording and a few column inches in Autosport. By the end of 1960, 787 JJH's scorecard read: one win at Silverstone, a third at Snetterton and 12 further top-ten finishes.Having campaigned no fewer than 26 races, 787 JJH required some attention in preparation for 1961. Mark Roberts, Jay's best friend at Lotus, took over Peter Hutcheon's share and as an extraordinary engineer helped Jay improve the Seven by canting over and boring its engine. Mark Roberts went on to found his eponymous film and TV camera company, which was awarded an Oscar for its innovation before being acquired by Nikon.The time spent working on the Seven left little time to race it in 1961, but Jay and Mark crammed in no fewer than 10 race meetings between August and October. The highlight was Jay taking his first win at Mallory Park. Jay sold the Seven after 1961, a consequence he says of getting married, but a chance encounter saw him reunited with it a few years later in Brighton, where he'd gone to see the finishers arrive from the Veteran Car Run and recognised 'his' Lotus parked on the seafront. From that point in the mid-1960s, the Seven relocated to Scandinavia and was the property of Mr Per Roxlin by 1985. Recognising it as a rare and very special Series One, Roxlin undertook a full restoration of the Lotus and upgraded it to 'Series A' specification with the celebrated BMC 'A' series 1098cc engine and 4-speed gearbox. The bodywork was carried out by Williams & Pritchard no less, who were the original coachbuilders for Lotus.Repatriated in 1995 by the classic car dealer and AC Cobra specialist Rod Leach, the Seven was in a private collection for around 20 years before being acquired by our vendor.Eligible for and positively welcomed in historic motorsport today, the Series One is the purest, prettiest and most coveted of the breed. Still immense fun on the road, and nicely restored with great history, this is a charming example of the embryonic Lotus Seven.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

(Source: The Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science, published by Marcel Dekker, Inc. 1976). Note this was not a Public Library, but rather a subscription-based business venture; each shareholder was required to pay a semi-annual contribution of one dollar on each share. Persons not holding shares could, however, pay 12 1/2 cents per week to borrow a book and were required to pay the Librarian a deposit equal to the value of the book before it could be removed from the premises. The library, located "above Robertson and Eliot's Bookstore" on the Public Square, was open two days a week. This pamphlet is the earliest known inventory of the books in the collection. 7 3/4" x 5".

Although they are called lakes, from the point of view of a lighthouse keeper these bodies of water share nearly all the characteristics of seas -- including the difficulties that are often encountered in the construction of light towers. America's Great Lakes, like the nation's Atlantic and Pacific waters, require coastal lights, harbor lights, lightships and channel lights to provide safe passage for the vessels that ply their waters. Lighthouses are much-needed beacons that were built in a variety of challenging locales, including atop a reef, at the end of a pier and on a precipitous cliff. Image Size: 11.5 x 13.25 in.

Vladimir Beilin (Russian, 20th C.) "USSR/US Cosmonauts/Astronauts Exploring" Original Watercolor painting. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Maximum Card for the Russia Space Exploration stamp issued May 29, 1992. Even when vast political differences separated the United States and Soviet Union, scientists from both nations' space programs were working together on a cooperative basis. Their first great success was the unprecedented Soyuz-Apollo joint mission in 1975, which saw three astronauts and two cosmonauts exchange handshakes and gifts -- and even share a meal of borscht -- in their docked spaceships. But during the next 16 years, marked by events in Afghanistan and the Middle East, that first small tear in the iron curtain seemed to have been sewn closed forever. Today, however, as a result of momentous changes in the former USSR, hopes for mutual exploration of space have been reborn in a planned joint mission to Mars. The design of this First Day of Issue Postcard depicts that hoped-for 21st century mission of exploration, showing an American and Russian exploring in friendship the ruddy planet named for the ancient Roman god of war.

America's Great Lakes, like the nation's Atlantic and Pacific waters, require coastal lights, harbor lights, lightships and channel lights to provide safe passage for the vessels that ply their waters.

Yeats, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Oil Paintings, Volume I, Andre Deutsch, London, 1992, p.322, cat.no.355 (ill.b&w)The painting depicts the last scene of Charles Guonod's 1867 opera Romeo and Juliet, based on William Shakespeare's famous tragedy. In the final act after a tumultuous duet, Romeo expires and Juliet takes her own life. Their entwined bodies lie in the deserted tomb. Guonod's opera was performed in the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin on 2 March 1926. The Irish Times review of the production praised the music and the performers although it noted that Cynlais Gibbs, who played Romeo had a lighter voice than Miss Hill who played Juliet, and was at a slight disadvantage. But it concluded that the orchestra 'gave a fluent account of the strongly coloured instrumental music'. The O'Mara Opera Company, which staged the production, was founded by the celebrated Limerick born tenor, Joseph O'Mara, in 1912 and performed opera seasons regularly at the Gaiety. In 1926, the year before his early death, O'Mara was the first opera singer to perform live on the newly inaugurated Radio Eireann, the Irish Free State's national radio station.Yeats was in attendance at the Gaiety and outlined the scene depicted in the painting in his sketchbook. His book also features drawings of the celebrated staging of Lennox Robinson's play, Cyclops which was performed by the Dublin Drama League in the playwright's home in Dalkey in August 1926. Yeats was an avid theatre goer and playwright. He wrote several plays for children in the early 1900s and his later experimental plays Harlequin's Positions, La La Noo and In Sand were staged at the Abbey Theatre between 1939 and 1949. Several of Yeats's paintings are inspired by his experiences of the theatre. These include Singing The Minstrel Boy (1923, The Model, Sligo), Now (1941, Private Collection), The Talent (1944, Private Collection) and Man Hearing an Old Song, (1950, Private Collection). These paintings like, Romeo and Juliet, incorporate the audience and its involvement in the performance. Yeats's cursory sketch notes the two candles, the balcony to the right and the prominent form of the conductor which are all key elements in the final painting. The figure of the conductor can be seen in the painting on the extreme left. His head is erect and his arms extended as he conducts the concluding notes of Guonod's score. The ghostly bodies of Romeo and Juliet lie next to each other in front of the tomb. Flecks of white, yellow and pink subtly indicate their faces and the flowers that adorn the sturdy sepulchre behind them. The tall ethereal forms of the candles are delicately painted and they and the single flame torch add to the sense of solemnity.The figures are dwarfed by the vast blue expanse of the set. One contemporary reviewer noted the emotional power of this colour in Yeats's painting. 'The surrounding blue seems to be the mystery of life – to symbolise every love-story that was ever lived or written – and birth and death and passion and sacrifice, and everything that is significant in human struggling. It is as if the universe had paused to mark a fleeting perfection'. The stage is framed by the warm reds and yellows of the surrounding auditorium. The heads of the front row of the audience fill the bottom of the composition. On the right hand side the towering structure of the interior of the Gaiety throws the perspective of the stage into stark relief. The elaborate gilt and maroon decoration is richly conveyed by loose swirls of deep colour which take on an organic quality, suggestive of movement and warm reflected light. A spectator is shown seated in the darkened theatre box looking at the performance. The ledge of this box, which stands out in sharp relief, is modelled out of thick brown paint while black lines indicate the railings. This unusual perspective emphasises the collaborative nature of live theatre in which the performers, musicians, and the spectators share in the illusion of the drama. It also draws attention to the artificiality of the set and the theatre itself as an extraordinary site where the human imagination is enabled to take flight. Romeo and Juliet was included in Yeats's one-man exhibition at the Engineers' Hall in Dublin in 1927 and was subsequently shown at the Ruskin gallery in Birmingham and the Arthur Tooth gallery in London. It features in many of the reviews of the acclaimed Dublin exhibition. George Russell described Yeats's work as 'intensely personal' noting that in the paintings, 'the psychic temperament is breaking through the limitations of the physical'. Another critic remarked on the 'powerful and almost audacious wealth of conception and composition' of Romeo and Juliet, which ' is bound to be one of the most discussed of the collection'. Finally the international art journal, The Studio, proclaimed that Yeats 'has now acquired a power over his medium which can only be described as masterly'.

A fine Swiss Louis XVI grande-sonnerie striking Pendule d'Officier with pull trip-repeat and alarmRobert & Courvoisier, La Chaux-de-Fonds, late 18th centuryThe circular four pillar movement with chain fusee and verge escapement regulated by sprung three-arm monometallic balance with rack-and-pinion regulation to the going train, the hour and quarter striking trains driven by a single spring barrel striking the full hour on a bell followed by ting-tang notation for the quarters on a second smaller bell every quarter hour, the alarm with standing barrel wound via a line and pulley and sounding on the smaller bell, the backplate fitted with six-spoke balance bridge, adjacent regulation dial and full visible quarter and hour strikework, the 4.25 inch circular convex white enamel dial with vertical Arabic numerals and signed Robert & Courvoisier to centre, with fine lattice and scroll pierced and engraved minute and hour hands, steel alarm setting hand and Arabic quarter hours within the outer minute track set behind hinged milled convex glazed cast gilt brass bezel, the case with hinged handle formed as a looped snake consuming its own tail over concave-sided hipped superstructure applied with laurel wreath and oak leaf cast mounts to front and back and engraved with panels of fruiting plants over stepped shoulders to sides, the front with acanthus cast infill to lower quadrants and the sides with fluted banner panels over generous laurel rosettes, the rear matching the front but centred with a lattice pieced sound fret, on four turned feet, 19cm (17.5ins) high excluding handle. The partnership between Louis Courvoisier (1758-1832) and his father-in-law Captain Louis-Benjamin Robert (1732-1781) was established in 1781. In 1787 Robert died leaving his share of the business in control of his widow, Charlotte. This arrangement continued until 1811 when Louis Courvoisier took his son, Frederic Alexander took in his son to form 'Courvoisier et Cie'.The current lot is a fine textbook example of an early design of pendule portative termed 'Pendule d'Officier'. Although this form of portable timepiece originated during the 1780's they apparently became popular during the period of the Napoleonic wars, particularly amongst the officer class, hence the term 'Pendule d'Officier'. The firm of Robert and Courvoisier were the leading makers of this type of portable timepiece during this period.Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The strike train is working correctly with the exception of the selection lever which the 'Ordinaire' function is currently no different to 'Grande Sonnerie'. The alarm mechanism appears to be permanently tripped hence will sound when the line is pulled (winding the alarm barrel) regardless of the position of the setting hand. The dial has a faint diagonal hairline crack and minor chipping around the winding holes otherwise presents well although the enamelling appears to have been restored. The case has some light tarnishing/discolouration to the finish otherwise appears to be in fine condition.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A rare Charles II eight-day longcase clock movementJohn Fromanteel, London, circa 1675The four finned and latched pillar movement with plates measuring 7.5 by 5 inches, the going train with bolt-and-shutter maintaining power and anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum incorporating long one-piece brass crutch, the strike train with internal countwheel and great wheel positioned forward next to the frontplate and striking on a vertical bell mounted above the plates, with a dial measuring 9.125 by 9.375 inches incorporating calendar aperture and shuttered winding holes to the matted centre within narrow applied laminated brass and silver Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised trident half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with pierced sculpted steel hands and fine gilt winged cherub mask spandrels to angles over an engraved signature Johannes Fromanteeel Londini Fecit to lower margin, (no pendulum or weights). The current lot can be closely compared to an eight-day longcase clock with one-and-a-quarter seconds pendulum by John Fromanteel described and illustrated in Garnier, Richard and Carter Jonathan The Golden Age of English Horology -Masterpieces from the Tom Scott COLLECTION on pages 386-87. In particular both movements share the same layout with four pillars and strike greatwheel fitted with countwheel set forward adjacent to the frontplate rather than side-by-side at the rear (presumably to allow the mechanism to be more compact). This configuration is sometimes seen on other clocks by John Fromanteel including a three-in-two quarter striking table clock movement signed 'Johannes Fromanteel..' (formerly at Cassiobury Park) which was sold at Sothebys, London sale of Important Clocks, Wristwatches and Barometers 13th October 1988 (lot 178). In addition to this the pronounced projection of the movement pillars where they pass through the frontplate are mirrored in both the current lot and the example from the Scott collection. The long one-piece brass pendulum crutch is also of a type often used by the Fromanteel workshop as is the single-footed back-cock, although the pendulum suspension block extension has been removed with suspension now from a shaped bracket set above the plates. The illustrious Fromanteel family of clockmakers has its roots with Ahasuerus Fromanteel who was born in Norwich in 1607 and was apprenticed there to Jacques van Barton before moving to London in 1631 where he became a freeman of the Blacksmiths' Company. The following year he was admitted as a Free Brother to the newly formed Clockmakers' Company. Fromanteel initially worked from East Smithfield but by 1640 he had moved to the Parish of St. Mary's Whitechapel and then finally to St. Saviour's, Southwark by 1650. His son John Fromanteel was born in 1638 and was apprenticed to his father in 1654 as were his brothers Abraham in 1662 and Daniel in 1663 (not freed). As part of his apprenticeship John was sent to The Hague to work with Saloman Coster from whom he acquired the knowledge of the first pendulum clocks. Subsequently, in September 1658, Ahasuerus Fromanteel posted his now famous advert in Mercurius Politicus announcing the introduction of the pendulum clock to England. The first of these timepieces appear to have been spring-driven however the longcase clock was subsequently developed/introduced within a year. This sequence of rapid technological advancements can almost entirely be attributed to the Fromanteel workshop leading many to describe Ahasuerus Fromanteel as the 'Father of English clockmaking'. Ahasuerus Fromanteel is believed to have left London in fear of the plague in around 1665, first travelling to Colchester, then onto Amsterdam where he set up in business in 1668. The fact that John Fromanteel took-on apprentices in 1670 (Thomas Crettenden) and 1673 (William Coward) suggests that he remained in London to run the family business during his father's absence. By 1676 Ahasuerus Fromanteel was back in England (presumably leaving the Amsterdam business primarily in the hands of his son, Ahasuerus II). John Fromanteel appears to have split his time between Amsterdam and London until his death in 1689 when his burial at St. Bartholemew's the Less. He was outlived by his father who died in 1692/3 and was buried at St. Mary's Whitechapel on 31st January 1693. Condition Report: The movement presents in its original configuration with no evidence of alteration and is in working condition. The strike train hammer wheel has a different pattern of collet from the others suggesting that the wheel has been reset on its pinion; the fourth wheel is not crossed-out hence is probably a replacement. The bellstand is probably a restoration and the bell itself is modern. The escape wheel and pallets are restorations using the original pivot holes. The maintaining power appears to be a restoration although the main arbor appears to have age. The backplate two spare holes adjacent to the bellstand foot almost certainly for a bracket to secure the movement into a case. The extreme upper right hand corner of the backplate (viewing from the rear) has a tight group of three filled holes, again most likely for a different securing bracket. The pillars and dial feet retain all of their latches with no evidence of being drilled. The bottom movement pillars are filed with slots to the inside edges of the knops for locating the movement onto a seatboard (most likely via corresponding lugs applied to the top of the board. The dial is intact and in relatively clean condition with no evidence of alteration. The chapter ring is constructed from silver laminated onto brass (rather than chemically silvered). The engraving is relatively clear with little evidence of wear and the general feel is such that we cannot rule-out that it is a well-made restoration although there is no direct visible evidence to support this view. The dial plate appears to have genuine age with all fittings to the rear appearing as they should with wear/patination commensurate with the apparent age of the dial. The spandrels are fine quality castings with highly detailed hand finishing and gilt finish. The centre of the plate has slight distortion towards the centre hole and the matting feels relatively sharp hence it would seem that work has been done to strengthen the matting. The calendar aperture however would appear to retain old gilt finish to the chamfered border. The signature is finely executed and exhibits no details which would cause us to doubt it. The hands are reasonably well made replacementsGenerally the movement and dial appears genuine but the appearance of the front of the dial (in particular the relatively 'fresh' feel of the chapter ring and the matting to the centre) will no doubt cause some to perhaps doubt its originality. We are willing to state that we are of the opinion that the dial has age and appears original to the movement but for the reasons stated above cannot offer any categorical assurances/guarantees to this effect. Indeed it is probable that opinion will most likely be divided depending on whether these details are viewed as attempts at honest restoration or evidence of the dial being later purpose made for the movement. Movement does not have pendulum, pulleys, weights or seatboard.The present lot has been consigned by an individual acting on behalf of a widow of an antiquarian horologist. Consequently we do not have any indication of long-term provenance and do not know how it came into his possession although it is believed that it was acquired without a case.

British Highways Broadside. A Proposal for mending our Highways, in a considerable Advantage to the Publick , circa 1710-20, single sheet printed to one side only, caption title, decorative woodcut initial, folio, together with: Broadsides & Tracts , The Case of the Mercers and Traders in the Silk and Woollen Manufactures of this Kingdom. Humbly offered to the Consideration of the Honourable House of Commons, circa 1710-20, single sheet printed to one side with caption title, docket title to verso, folio, The Case of the Woollen Manufacturers, and particularly those of the City of Worcester, with Relation to the Turkey Trade, circa 1710-20, 3,[1]pp., caption title and docket title to final page, folio, Observations on behalf of the Bill, for the better Employing the Poor, and Encouraging the Manufactures of this Kingdom, by preventing the clandestine importation of wrought Silks, mix'd with Gold, Silver, or other Materials, [1729], single sheet printed to one side only, caption title, decorative woodcut initial, lower 5cm of gutter margin excised, folio (Hanson 3960) (Qty: 4)NOTESNo institutional locations of the first title found. The first title refers to the Highway Law of 1692, which stated that parish rate payers could be charged up to six pence for every pound of yearly income from land and other real property. The six pence rate represented a 2.5% tax on property income, which was substantial considering there were also parish taxes for poor relief and constables. The broadside also describes the increasingly poor condition of the roads largely due to the transport of wool to London "the irons of our wheels enlarg'd, our horses hindred from growing single, and limited to a number, turn-pikes, etc. and our ways still growing worse: it seems reasonable to consider and find out the true reason from whence this calamity springs. And I believe, in the first place ... that the city of London, like Polyphemus, is at this time eating up most cities and towns in Great Britain" and considers the consequences of movement of goods within the country, "At Shrewsbury is an establish'd Fabrick of Cottens, as heavy and bulky Commodity, which, at this time, cost almost five per cent in their land carriage to London, when for a trivial expence they may be shipp'd at Bristol. At Worcester a considerable fabrick of fine cloth, most of which is sent to Turkey, all carried by land carriage, when it is much nearer to Turkey from Bristol than London; and London merchants may as well order the shipping of it there, as they do their North-Country Cloth at Hull, and save our highways. At Kidderminster a considerable new drapery which go to Spain and Portugal; the same at Tewkesbury, and Cheltenham abundance of stockings for exportation which are carried to London; but more particularly the Stroud water Fabrick of cloth within four or five miles of the city of Gloucester, most of which is sent to Turkey; ten waggon loads a week are now carried up to the city of London, and the waggons for the most part loaded down with wooll". The broadside calls for "all cities and towns to have an equal share in the exportation of our woollen manufactures". The second title concerns the smuggling of Indian silks & textiles into Britain which had a detrimental effect on the British silk & woollen manufacturers.

After a series of clerical preferments in 1554 he was elected bishop of St Davids, only to be deprived in 1559 for refusing to accept religious change. However, perhaps because he did not preach against the changes, or perhaps because the queen favoured him, Morgan was permitted to retire quietly to Wolvercote, Oxfordshire, where he lived among friends until his death there on 23 December 1559.

From its debut with Ari Vatanen, it was the car that provided 2 years of almost complete domination of the WRC by the Jean Todt-led Peugeot Talbot Sport team. As well as Vatanen, Bruno Saby, Timo Salonen, & Juha Kankkunen contributed to a total of 13 outright wins between 85/86, placing Peugeot at the pinnacle of Group B until it was eventually banned on safety grounds in 1987. The car's clever, mid-engine 4 x 4 packaging with transversely-mounted engine & suspension, great derivability made it almost unbeatable. With a 16-valve head, mechanical fuel injection compressed by a turbocharger running at approximately 1.5 BAR, the little four-pot developed as much as 400 bhp at an incredible 8,000 rpm. Peugeot factory stats quoted max torque was 332 lb.ft at 5000 rpm coupled with a relatively svelte 2,160 pounds, acceleration was almost linear prompting some drivers to complain of 'tunnel vision'. The example offered here is 'the' Jon Woodner Car # S007. Commissioned by American Real Estate Developer & rally driver in 84, it was built by Peugeot Sport UK under the guidance of Des O'Dell, before being exported to the USA for Jon's outings in the SCCA Rally Championship. The Peugeot arrived in the US late 84 & its 1st 'shakedown' was at the Carson City International Rally on Dec 8/9. The rally was won by Hannu Mikkola but unfortunately 'S7', co-driven by Ty Holmquist, recorded a DNF. The following year, with Tony Sircombe navigating, only 2 rallies were entered but 86 proved a more productive year with 7 SACCA events rewarding Jon & Tony with 5 podiums. The high spot of 86 was undoubtedly the Olympus Rally in early Dec which, was an official round of the World Rally Championship & consequently Jon & S7, as leading 'privateers' were treated to 'works support' & an abundance of factory upgrades. 87 was to be another full season for the team with events in Ireland, France & Belgium however the Peugeot remained at home in the States enjoying 5 outings in SACCA achieving two 2nd & a 3rd in very competitive fields. In early April 1988, Chassis S7 made its final appearance in Jon's hands at the intriguingly named Chattahoochee Forest Pro Rally poignantly resulting in an 'Open Class' win. Sadly, Jon was killed in an aeroplane crash 2 weeks later the 24th of April 1988. Having acquitted itself brilliantly over the previous three years, Jon's beloved T16 was put into storage by his widow in 89, however, in 2000, Peter Johnson, a New Zealand businessman purchased S7 & it was immediately shipped to NZ accompanied by a substantial quantity of spares. Shortly after its arrival, Ron McMillan of Road, Race & Rally in Auckland was asked to fully strip & assess the car and he entrusted Alistair Wickens to dismantle the rolling shell & evaluate its condition prior to the rebuild. Having fully considered all the options, Peter Johnson decided on a 'no-expense-spared' rebuild with some minor modifications to make it more approachable & acceptable for rallying in the early 2000s. There were small changes made to the bodywork, engine management, turbo & the car was fitted with Pectel fuel injection, new wiring, seats, safety equipment & a comprehensive replacement & upgrade of the suspension (Proflex), wheels & brakes. NB; the gearbox is now an original, period-correct, 6-speed, H-pattern E1. This more-modern spec enabled the car to qualify for current events & it subsequently enjoyed outings in the world-famous, 5-day Targa NZ & even UK/Ireland based rallies such as the Killarney International. Peter then formed an agreement with Lancashire-based, ex-works Peugeot driver, Kevin Furber, to buy & keep the car in the UK. Kevin had been around the factory in period & knew the car well so this was a dream fulfilled. In 2005, Andy Medlicott purchased a 50% share in the car to become its joint owner. The car has been maintained to the highest of standards, regardless of cost it’s been invited to & appeared at lots of major motoring events, both in the UK & Europe - Goodwood, Rallycar Day, Rally GB, Race Retro etc. not just as a static display but one that is ready to be driven & enjoyed. To quote Andy Medlicott; "As an ex-works Peugeot driver, Kevin does most of the display driving because the car is still fast and aggressive & needs to be treated with respect, however, I have had the opportunity to drive on several display events & test it. I remember driving in front of ten thousand people in Holland & feeling very nervous, not wanting to make a mistake but also feeling the need to put on a good display for the crowds, I'm always blown away with the crowd's reactions to this car & I'm very humbled when people ask for my autograph. Thanks to the Peugeot 205 T16, we’ve been to places we never would have been to & met people we never would have met. This includes many works drivers of the Group B era who have subsequently put their signature on the car - Ari Vatanen, Juha Kankkunen, Miki Biasion, Harri Toivonen & even Paddy Hopkirk". To accompany the T16 there is a history file that includes a District of Columbia Certificate of Title for Jon Woodner & his SCCA Rally Log Book detailing events 1984-87, the New Zealand Certificate of Registration, import & shipping papers for New Zealand & the UK, a 2003 Targa New Zealand Programme featuring S7, photographs of the car prior to the rebuild in, a T16 Service Manual & access to numerous films, videos & photographs of the car in the UK with such luminaries as Ari Vatanen, Colin McRae, Didier Auriol, Malcolm Wilson and Chris Ingram amongst others! A package of spares is included.Rarely do such iconic machines with known history from day one venture on to the open market making this an opportunity that may not come around again for a very long time.

Home market, right-hand drive Elan Sprint Coupe, indicating just 52,710 miles (atoc) Beautifully presented in the desirable Sprint livery of Pistachio over Cirrus White Replacement chassis in 1997 then subject to an extensive restoration between 2001 - 2003 Offered with a large history folder documenting the life of this remarkable example A fabulous little Lotus. Elan by name and Elan by nature The desirable 'Sprint' model was introduced in 1971 and was the ultimate incarnation of Lotus'revolutionary little Elan. It justified its name thanks to a substantial increase in power to 126bhp resulting from the adoption of a big-valve head with high-lift cams, a raised compression ratio and (initially) Weber 40 DCOE 31s. The drivetrain was suitably toughened and braced and the front callipers were redesigned to cope with the increased performance. This home-market Sprint Coupé was first registered in the height of summer 1972 and is particularly striking in the attractive period 'Sprint' livery of Pistachio Green over Cirrus White. 48 years later this example presents superbly and could almost be described as being in showroom condition. We are advised that it was fitted with a new chassis in circa 1997 and that between 2001-2003 the car was subject to extensive restoration. The latter involved a complete strip-down and re-spray, an engine rebuild (believed to have been completed by marque specialist 'Nick Stagg Engineering'), conversion to unleaded compatibility, an overhaul of the steering, suspension and brakes, a new interior, and the fitting of a host of other new parts. A fascinating history file accompanies the little coupé and includes a record of all journeys from 1979 at 23,377 miles through to December 1985 at 47,133 miles, showing just how cherished this car has been. In the years that followed, it appears that the car was only lightly used after being restored, as by 2007 the mileage indicated was still just 48,000 (approximately) and to date is only 52,525. There is an invoice for a recent service at 52,498 miles, MOT Certificates from 2006 to 2018, plus numerous invoices for work/maintenance/parts (from 2002 up to 2018, totalling almost £15,000) from specialists Christopher Neil Lotus, Paul Matty Sports Cars, and QED Motorsport Ltd. Furthermore, there are specific invoices from 2008 that indicate further restoration, plus £3,131 spent with Paul Matty in 2012 for various maintenance items. There is no doubt that NHN 620K has received more than its share of care and attention and continues to look sharp and fresh. We understand that it's as agile and eager as a 'Sprint' should be and imagine that Mr Chapman, whose signature is etched into the steering wheel, would be proud that his inspired creation is as desirable now as the day it rolled out of Hethel all those years ago.

The Continental R Mulliner was a combination of the 'wide-body' Continental R model with the Continental T's more powerful, 420bhp, engine Only 46 of these remarkable cars were made between 1999 and 2003 at a basic price of £225,000 Special order silver exterior at considerable extra cost. Dramatic Mulberry leather interior Bespoke Mulliner features include the drilled pedals, starter button, engined turned-aluminium dashboard and cockpit panels, unique ribbed seating and fluted headlining, external wing vents and more 39,300 miles (atoc).11 Official Bentley Dealer Service Stamps Full Book Pack, Manuals etc Impressive specification. UK-supplied and in private ownership since 2013 Introduced in 1991, the Continental R was the first Bentley in 26 years that did not share its bodywork with a concurrent Rolls-Royce model and was inspired by the very stylish Continental R-Type of the 1950s. The elegant two-door coachwork was styled by John Heffernan and Ken Greenley, a duo whose résumé included sports cars like the Aston Martin Virage. At £175,000, however, this newcomer was one of the world's most expensive cars, although at least it was also one of the fastest. At launch, this latest Continental used the familiar 6.75-litre V8 with a big Garrett turbocharger and an intercooler in the same state of tune as in the Bentley Turbo R. Crewe still declined to provide official power outputs at the time, although it's estimated that around 325bhp was on tap, along with a huge amount of torque. Top speed was governed to 145mph, with 60mph arriving in just 6.6 seconds - all in a car weighing around 2.5 tons, on a 120-inch wheelbase and with an overall length of 17.5 feet! The rest of the Continental R's running gear was also taken from the Turbo R, with fully independent coil-spring suspension (featuring hydropneumatic self-levelling at the rear) and power-hydraulic brakes with ABS, plus variable-assistance power steering. To add to the sporting feel of the newcomer, this was the first Crewe-built automatic-transmission car to have the gear selector in the centre console rather than on the steering column. The selector handle incorporated a Sports button, which would simultaneously quicken the gearbox's reactions and delay upshifts while firming up the suspension. Five years later Bentley introduced a short-wheelbase version dubbed the Continental T that was equipped with an uprated engine developing 420 hp and an impressive 650 foot-pounds of torque available at only 2,200 rpm and it wasn't long before Bentley customers were expressing an interest in equipping the "wide-body" Continental R model with the T's more powerful engine. Shortly afterwards, the Continental R Mulliner was introduced at the 1999 Geneva Salon, its nomenclature paying homage to H.J. Mulliner, the British coachbuilder responsible for the original R-Type's breathtaking fastback bodywork. The R Mulliner's wide-body configuration offered spacious interior elegance restoring the rear legroom lost in the 'T', while the twin-turbocharged V-8 was capable of rocketing the car to a top speed of nearly 170 mph. Individually tailored to customer order, the R Mulliner was Bentley's ultimate 20th-century combination of luxury and performance, produced in a modest quantity of as few as 131 examples. If you plan to use your Bentley to attend Shareholders Meetings and the occasional funeral, this example may not be the car for you and an understated Arnage in respectful Masons Black may be more appropriate, however, if you feel the need to remind the world that 'you have arrived', this striking Continental R Mulliner may well be perfect. Finished in a 'Special Order' Silver enhanced by flared wheel arches, aerodynamic door sills, wing vents and purposeful bumpers, it appears to have been hewn from a block of solid aluminium and finely sculpted by a set-designer from 'Space:1999'. If the car's exterior is rather special then its interior can only be described as dramatic. Bentley offered buyers of the R Mulliner a bit of a free hand when it came to the cars internal specification and, in this case, the car's first owner has created something akin to the control room on 'Moonbase Alpha'. As well as all the traditional Mulliner features including chrome instrument bezels, red starter button and drilled pedals, engined turned-aluminium panels are used extensively on the dashboard and elsewhere in the cockpit and when combined with the single-tone, Mulberry hide used in the bespoke seats, deep-fluted headlining, roll-top and steering wheel, the overall effect is more Lear Jet than passenger car. This example was UK-supplied in right-hand drive (1/46) by P&A Wood during March 2000 and has been in private ownership since 2013 covering a warranted 39,300 miles. The service records show 11 official Bentley Dealer service stamps (most recently by Harwoods in Sussex at 36,486 miles) and during our vendor's ownership the car was entrusted to Frank Dale and Stepsons for minor adjustments, wheel alignment etc and we understand that they felt that it was 'one of the best they had ever seen'. Unique is a word frequently misused but it certainly applies to this 'extrovert' Continental R Mulliner. These desirable models are rightfully stretching their legs in the classic car market, so don't miss out before these rare sporting Bentleys arrive in six-figure territory.

Lot 250
A unique and important collection of WWII Second World War RAF Royal Air Force memorabilia from a 188297 Flying Officer Jack Shelley of 120 Squadron. The effects comprising; Shelley's original named Type C leather flying helmet (named to interior ' F/O J. Shelley - 120 Squadron - RAF ') and a wealth of personal photographs, letters and correspondence to his sweetheart (and later wife, Gladys Wright of Macclesfield). The helmet of leather construction and generally in good used condition - leather straps present, and in good order. The letters - spanning well over one hundred - include lots of fascinating content both regards his actions during the period, but also charming and heartfelt content to his sweetheart. Shelley appears to have started off his military career in the British Army (Middlesex Regiment) before transferring to the RAF. It appears that at some point Shelley was injured in an aeroplane crash and suffered some scarring / injury to his head and face. Many of the later letters make remarks to such. He also appears to have been stationed in Canada, Italy, India and the USA at several points, with letters addressed as such. His many letters to his sweetheart are full of sentiment and have the most incredible outpouring of love. The letters are a perfect representation of young love - with Shelley even proposing to Gladys via Airgraph, and the couple appear to get married during a brief period of leave sometime during 1944. Some extracts from letters of note, include; - a letter dated 12-11-1945 from Jack at RAF Waterbeach, Cambridge - an unusual tone for a service airman in which he goes on to say; 'You know I'm fed up to the teeth with this life in the RAF - and I shall be glad when I get back to my old job again....as far as I'm concerned this Air Force is a dead end and a sheer waste of very valuable time...(they're) arranging for me to see another nerve specialist and you can rest assured that I've made up my mind I'm not going to fly again.'- an Airgraph dated 10th Feb 1944 - '...you needn't worry about the scars on my face because they aren't so bad when you get used to them. They are not very plain and I'm not the least bit disfigured.'- an Airgraph dated 18th March 1944 which contains Shelley's proposal to Gladys '...I'll probably be with you 18 months from now - let us hope so. Anyway.... what do you say to us getting married when I get home on my first leave - personally, I'm all for it!'- a three page letter on blue paper dated June 29th 1942, with Shelley noting himself as 656047 Sgt J Shelley stationed in Canada. The letter contains some lovely content regards him being in love with Gladys and his hopes and dreams for their future together. - an Airgraph dated 22nd May 1944 '...(I) pray that it won't be long before we're back together again...shall we go away again for a day or two and just make whoopie in the old home town?'- an Airgraph dated 1st March 1944 '...I don't think I told you about Freddie Bloss - he used to work in May & Wains the lawyers...anyhow he used to be on this Squadron but he's been missing for quite a while now; you might tell Adrian if you see him around. '- a letter dated 2nd Nov 1941 (during Shelley's training in Moose Jaw, Canada) '...I..don't do anything more than fly in aeroplanes, work reasonably hard and occasionally go to the pictures...I still keep building up my flying time, I've got well over 100 hours in now, both day and night. Night flying is rather awkward here because there are so many large changes in the wind direction. It is perhaps as well because it teaches us to take nothing for granted and always to keep our wits about us.'- an Airgraph dated 26th Sep 1943 in which Shelley describes his accident '...I suppose you know by now that I was involved in an aircraft accident - fortunately however I'm not seriously injured and although I'm in hospital at the moment I hope to be out in a few days. I lost all my kit in the crack-up (it was a fire) including the presents I had bought for you....however I managed to save my neck even though I hit the ground with an awful wallop - I only got two cuts on my face, nothing else anywhere.' - a letter dated 1st March 1941 - Shelley notes himself as 4128817 Private J. Shelley or B.Company, Middlesex Regiment- The collection also includes several personal photographs of both Shelley and pals / family members, Squadron photographs (including one of No.3 Flight No.3 Squadron, June 1941) as well as Shelley's RAF uniform patch and epaulettes. A fascinating and important collection of WWII RAF effects, the letters in particular contain some of the most heartfelt sentiment we have ever had the pleasure of reading. About 120 Squadron; Reformed as part of Coastal Command in Northern Ireland in 1941 at RAF Nutts Corner, the unit was equipped with the Consolidated Liberator, flying against the U-boat threat in the war in the North Atlantic. The squadron received the first Mark I Liberators in June and began flying nine of them in September from bases in Aldergrove, Northern Ireland and Reykjavik, Iceland. The number of Liberators in September 1942 had increased to six Mark I, two Mark II, and three Mark III. No. 120 Squadron remained the only Coastal Command squadron flying VLR (Very Long Range) Liberators in February 1943 with five Mark I and twelve Mark III. The squadron was very successful in this role, sinking 14 U-boats outright; and was credited with a share in sinking three more, plus eight damaged.This was the highest kill total in Coastal Command, achieved while flying from Northern Ireland, Iceland, and in support of Operation Overlord – the Allied invasion of France in 1944.
