The first in a generation of game-changing, small Triumph Roadsters.In recent years this car has formed part of a large collection and as such has received little or no use and an element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again. Your inspection pre-sale is welcomed and encouraged to appreciate the potential of this rarely offered motor car which is strictly sold as seen.Until October 1954, the first 4,000 TR2s were produced with 'long door' body shells and were lighter and more agile than later carsPowered by a notably torquey twin-carb version of the 2-litre Vanguard OHV engine which produced 90bhp and, fitted with the four-speed gearbox, could propel the little car to 60mph in 11.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 107mphOwned and restored as an ongoing project by an engineer, Mr Peter Vickery-Jones from 1974 until 2012Very nicely presented in Old English White with a smart black interiorEarly (1954) TR2s were successful in International Motorsport and these rare 'long-door' cars are the preferred choice in modern Historic motorsportYou can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 11th and 17th September.

1970 Bentley T Series mulliner park ward 2-door fixed head coupe Grey paintwork with red coach-lining Magnolia seat leather, automatic transmission Bentley Motors chassis CBH 8237 Rolls-Royce 6230cc V8 engine 8237 Matching numbers, driven only 85,285 miles by three owners Original registration ‘BLC 750H’ Note: The Bentley T was the Bentley version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, a total of 1868 being produced 1966-1970, the majority 4-door saloons and only 114 of them 2-door coupes, of which 1 was bodied by Pininfarina, 15 by James Young and 98, as this car, by in-house coachbuilders Mulliner Park Ward. When launched, the more understated luxury Bentley T saloon’s pre-tax ‘list price’ of £5,375 undercut the equivalent Rolls-Royce by £50, while the price charged for a more sporting Bentley coupe was some 50% greater than that of the standard saloon. The Bentley differed from its Rolls-Royce sibling by having a more rounded grille, while the badging on the wheel covers, boot lid and gauges naturally featured Bentley motifs rather than the Rolls-Royce logo. Although some of the panels on a Bentley coupe were shared with the standard 4-door saloons, their 2-door body-shells featured a distinctive dipping upper wing with parallel crease, and revised, more rounded rear bodywork. One of only 89 Bentley badged MPW coupes in right-hand drive, this statistically rare 1970 T Series 2-door 8237 was registered BLC 750H, the registration that has remained on the car to this day (confirmed in a current V5C registration document), when sold new 8 April 1970 by supplying London West End Bentley dealers Jack Barclay Ltd (their plate in door aperture) to first owner Ruth Matilda Brown of Staplefield, near Haywards Heath. After 21 years in her care, the Bentley was purchased 06 September 1991 by second owner Peter M Afia of Hatton Grange Shifnal, before being auctioned nine years later in a Halls Fine Art sale 30 April 1999 with 83,000 mileage. The original invoice for the sale is the history file along with an impressive run of tax discs from 1971 to 1999. Since acquisition by our Shrewsbury client however, who was therefore only the third owner, the 50 year old Bentley has only been driven a further 2,285 miles in just over 20 years (an expired tax disc from 2011 is still on the screen), having been mainly preserved in the dry sanctuary of a damp-free residential garage. Previously repainted bodywork is clean and the chrome shines today. Patinated seat leather, which may be original, although lightly age-cracked in the front, is still soft, and the dashboard wood and door top capping are all present and correct. While after half a century, the engine bay presentation is fair for the year. Although well stored and cosmetically tidy, the battery has been flat for some time however and the car has not been maintained or serviced recently. It is therefore being sold as seen and as a ‘Non-Runner’. The fullest professional recommissioning of all electrical and hydraulic systems would therefore be advised and the potential renewal of tyres, brake and steering components and an MOT test pass prudent before the car is driven on the public road. This still stylish Bentley, which is categorised by the DVLA as a ‘Historic Vehicle’ and eligible for free road tax, has nonetheless been most realistically estimated.

A RUBY AND DIAMOND BRACELET BY WEST, CIRCA 1970 Of openwork textured gold design, set throughout with circular-cut rubies and brilliant-cut diamonds within collet-setting, mounted in 18K gold, diamonds approximately 2.50cts total, Dublin hallmarks for 1970, length 18.1cm During the 70's, independent British jewellery designers challenged the established manufacturers with their innovative designs, mass produced jewellery using new materials was startling in design and easy on the pocket. The top end jewellers had to rethink their output to keep a foothold on the market. They had to work out how to push back the boundaries while retaining wearability for their customers. The result was a move towards striking sculptural designs, new cuts of gemstones and different textured finishes. One of the most important exhibitors was the influential Andrew Grima. His groundbreaking ideas using textured gold with rough or unusual stones, in organic shapes, based on rocks, leaves and shells, was copied throughout the decade and his ideas still influence jewellery designers today. Another exhibitor was John Donald who used innovative ways of producing texture and sculptural effects in gold, using heat and flame. This included working molten gold in water. He combined these effects with uncut precious stones and crystal. West jewellers is considered the oldest European jewellery store and one of the oldest companies in Ireland. The fine-jewellery retailer has been trading on and off in Dublin for 290 years. It first opened as West Sons on Capel Street in 1720. In 1845, the firm moved to College Green and then to 102 Grafton Street. In 1965 it relocated to its current premises at 33 Grafton Street, on the junction of South Anne Street, and finally closed in 2010. West has always attracted a wealthy clientele and had links with Queen Victoria. The British Royal Collection has two brooches that Prince Albert bought for Queen Victoria from West & Son on a visit to Dublin in 1849.
