The restoration was carried out by the Highway Service Automotive Centre of Beeston, Notts.

Other new mechanical parts included: competition clutch, master and slave cylinders, brake system, Minilite style wheels and Yokohama tyres, electronic ignition, electric fuel pump, battery, Scorpio alarm and quadruple spotlights. Before re-insertion the 1380cc A-Series engine was refurbished and equipped with a professionally-tuned 45DCOE Weber carburettor. This unique almost as-new Mini comes complete with MOT to August 11th 2016.
Lot 115
Bernard of Botone, - Glossa ordinaria on the Decretals of Gregory IX Glossa ordinaria on the Decretals of Gregory IX, large decorated manuscript in Latin on parchment [Italy, late thirteenth century or c. 1300] 133 leaves (plus 1 original endleaf at front, and another 2 at back), wanting a gathering after 4th quire and a few leaves at end of codex (but in this state since the fourteenth or early fifteenth century), else complete, collation: i-vii12, viii8, ix9 (last a blank cancel), x-xi12, xii8 (wanting viii and ix), double column, 53 lines in a small and fine university bookhand, paragraph marks and running titles in red and blue, small initials in same with contrasting penwork, one large variegated initial R on frontispiece with elaborate penwork infill and text border of red and blue leaf-shapes in French style, one or 2 leaves with sections of blank borders cut away, some cockling and discolouration to edges of leaves (notably top and bottom of volume), with losses to blank edges of some leaves and parchment brittle in places, else good condition with wide and clean margins, 320 by 225mm., fourteenth- or just perhaps early fifteenth-century binding of blind-tooled pigskin with panels formed of triple fillets enclosing small flower heads, with horn nameplate nailed to upper board (discoloured through age, but with …sus Bernardi …decretales in apparent fourteenth-century script visible on parchment slip underneath), binding fragments of a bifolium and a long strip cut from German manuscripts of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and one medieval metal boss on front board, the 4 on back board wanting and their mounting places now marked by small holes, remains of 2 clasps, back board much lighter than front due to centuries of storage in medieval style (see below), some slight cracking along spine and small scuffs to boards, but solid in binding Provenance: (1) Most probably written and decorated in a university centre in Italy or southern France (perhaps Bologna or Montpellier) by scribes and artists familiar with both Italian script and French methods of decoration, in the thirteenth century or perhaps the first few years of the fourteenth century. (2) Within a century the book appears to have been in a German monastic or Cathedral chapter library, and had lost a gathering and a few leaves from its end. It was given an index on its last endleaves and bound up into its current binding. It presumably entered private hands during the secularisation of the early years of the nineteenth century. Text: This is a handsome and clean medieval codex in almost the same state as it was in fourteenth century. Its front board preserves a rare survival of medieval bindings, a horn covered nameplate, and the slight discolouration of that board in comparison to the lower shows that the book was stored in the medieval monastic fashion for many centuries (lying flat on its back on a shallow shelf leaving just its top and nameplate visible, and kept away from the potentially damp shelf surface by the bosses on its back). It contains the Glossa ordinaria on the Decretals of Gregory IX of Bernard of Botone (also of Parma, his birthplace), who studied law and subsequently taught in Bologna University. He stands in a line of great medieval legal authorities, having studied under Tancred of Germany (d.1230/36) and had William Durand (d. 1296) as his pupil. In later life, he served as chancellor of the university and as chaplain to Pope Innocent IV. This work was his magnum opus , completed just before his death in 1263/66.
Lot 121
Augustinian Monastic Book of Hours, - Use of Rome, in Latin, decorated manuscript on parchment [Italy, Use of Rome, in Latin, decorated manuscript on parchment [Italy, (Florence), dated 1 January 1467] 136 leaves (plus an endleaf at front and back reused from a contemporary choirbook), foliated modern pencil 1-137, complete, collation: i6, ii-xiv10, ornamental catchwords in calligraphic penstrokes sometimes touched with yellow, and leaf signature in purple ink in 6th gathering, single column, 16 or 17 lines of 2 sizes of a fine late gothic bookhand, rubrics in red, capitals and flourishes in litany touched in yellow, large initials in blue or red with ornate contrasting penwork infill and surround, terminating in trailing tendrils with line-drawn leaves and buds, text somewhat scuffed in places with flaking of ink (notably on last 2 leaves), some small spots and stains, but overall in good and sound condition, 130 by 100mm., Italian nineteenth-century binding of dark brown blind-tooled leather, some small scuffs and wear to spine edges Provenance: Almost certainly written and decorated for an inmate of an Augustinian monastery in Florence, perhaps Santo Spirito (the calendar is monastic, and the high grading of SS. Augustine and his mother Monica in the calendar, and the presence of Sancte pater Augustine in the litany, indicate it was Augustinian, while the presence of SS. Miniatus and Reparatus identify the site of this house as Florence). Its scribe finished it on 1 January 1467with a Latin verse colophon on fols.136rv: Finito libro isto referamus gratia Christo, Qui scripsit scribat semper cum domino vivat, Vivat in celis in suo nomine felix. Anno dni. Mo.cccc.lxvij. die I in mensis Ianuarii . The Augustinian house of Santo Spirito, Florence, was constructed c . 1300 near the Ponte Vecchio, and received the library of Boccaccio in 1375 as a bequest. It is pleasing to think that this modest volume may have shared shelf space with his celebrated book collection. Text: The volume comprises, a Calendar (fol.1r); the Hours of the Virgin (fol.7r), with Lauds (fol.12r), Prime (fol.18r), Terce, Sext, None, Vespers (fol.25v), and Compline, followed by variants for days of the week (fols.31v-36r) and liturgical seasons (fols.36v-43r); the Hours of the Passion (fol.43r); the Hours of the Cross (fol.55v); the Seven Penitential Psalms (fol.57r); Litany and petitions (fol.64v); the Gradual Psalms (fol.71r); the Office of the Dead (fol.78v); Psalter of the Virgin (fol.109r); and a hymn attributed to St Bernard: Salve mundi salutare, salve, salve, Iesu care … (fol.131r).
