A very capable touring machine, restored and enhanced to 'S' specification, maintained by XK specialists, and routinely driven to the Le Mans Classic.The XK150 was the final incarnation of the XK Series when it appeared in May 1957 and was offered as either a Fixed or Drop-Head Coupé. A more refined and capable machine than its predecessors, the 150 was noticeably different from earlier versions of the XK theme, with a higher scuttle and door line, whilst the radiator grille reverted to the thinner slats of the XK120 but was altogether wider. The bumpers were deeper and wrapped around, a curved windscreen replaced the divided one on the XK120 and 140, and much needed servo-assisted Dunlop disc brakes were fitted at each corner. However, the XK150 retained much of the mechanical layout of the 140, sharing the same 180bhp 3.4-litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six.The car offered for sale here was built on the 9th December 1959 as a UK-market, right-hand drive, 3.4-litre FHC fitted with the desirable manual overdrive transmission. It was supplied via Henlys Ltd. London to the dealership, Norton Thames Jaguar, and onwards to its first owner, a Mr D. Hewitt of London.As wasn’t uncommon with XK cars of this era, this example’s original engine was subsequently replaced by a more powerful 3.8-litre XK unit (ZA 3378-8). Sometime later, in 1985, the then owner commenced a full bare metal restoration but during this process sold the car, in early 1992, to the Carriage Company. They took on the restoration, taking a further 18 months to complete it, ensuring all necessary chassis work (including ball joints, track rod ends etc.) and perishable items were up to MOT standard, plus oven-painting the bodywork in ICI 2-pack Carmen Red and re-chroming parts as necessary. The interior too was completely renewed and retrimmed in black Connolly hide piped in red.Building on its bigger and more powerful 3.8-litre engine, the Carriage Company engineers carried out all relevant work to the powerplant to bring the XK up to factory ‘S’ specification. This included completely stripping the engine, regrinding the crankshaft, replacing the shells and engine seals, whilst also cleaning the pistons and fitting new rings. The ‘S’ specification included changing the head to a straight-port type with new valves, guides and a head overhaul with new gaskets. Triple 2.0” SU HD8 carburettors were then fitted with all the necessary linkages and throttle assemblies. All alloy parts were stripped, cleaned and polished. This enhanced engine was refitted, tested and tuned as near as possible to factory standard, generating an impressive 265bhp at 5,000rpm.Our vendor acquired the car some 18 years ago (in 2005), during which time it has further benefitted from extensive work by XK specialists (notably Marcus Barclay of Buckinghamshire) to keep it in tip-top condition. We understand that he has invested around £25,000 during his ownership on its upkeep and servicing, supported by paperwork and invoices in the car's history file. Improvements include bodywork maintenance, electronic ignition, a header tank, inertia seatbelts, an alternator, stainless-steel exhaust, a Kenlowe fan and halogen headlights. The car has featured at The Hurlingham Club's ‘Salon Privé’, regularly attended the Le Mans Classic and, in more recent times, the Spa Classic – trips its does with ease, with occupants travelling long distances in complete comfort and with style and reliability – the brief of any high-performance Jaguar sportscar.This venerable XK is in need of very little and starts and drives very well with good oil pressure and efficient cooling. It's offered to auction following a long and conscientious ownership period, where it was much-loved. Eminently driveable, this is a really lovely example of a timeless design with a desirable modern specification all tucked away inside the outstanding profile of this classic Jaguar roadster. SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK150 FHCYear: 1959Chassis Number: 5824722DNRegistration Number: 236 PFTransmission: Manual Engine Number: V6045-8 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 80395 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

An older restored Lotus Cortina from long-term ownership.In 1961, Colin Chapman was commissioned by Harry Mundy to design a twin-cam version of the Ford Kent engine and its first appearance was at the Nürburgring in a Lotus 23 driven by Jim Clark. Soon after, the engine appeared in the Lotus Elan. During the engine's development, Walter Hayes at Ford asked Colin Chapman to fit the twin-cam into 1,000 Ford saloons for Group 2 racing homologation. Chapman accepted the contract and the type 28, or Lotus Cortina as it became known, was born. Whilst Ford supplied the two-door body shells and took care of the marketing, Lotus engineered the mechanical and cosmetic changes which included the 1,558cc engine along with the Elan's close-ratio gearbox, front quarter bumpers and Lotus badges. They also made changes to the interior with a new centre console to accommodate the revised gear lever position, different seats and a later styled dashboard that incorporated a tachometer, odometer, oil pressure, water temperature and fuel gauges. A wood-rimmed steering wheel was the finishing touch.On offer from long term ownership, which is always a good sign, ECL 82D has been with its current keeper since 2008 and with eight previous owners since 1966. The car underwent a full refurbishment around 2006 and still looks fresh today. Our vendor has added electronic ignition and an alternator as opposed to the old dynamo but, cleverly, its appearance is that of a dynamo (all the original parts are supplied with the car). The interior remains standard, however the original dash top has been recovered in leather. Our vendor is in the trade and consequently has maintained the car himself with all works logged using quality components and always 20/50 motor oil.The car is supplied with a small history file containing some previous MOTs etc. and some technical/mechanical data. Classically finished in Ermine White with Sherwood Green, this rather smart Lotus Cortina is guided very sensibly and represents an ideal opportunity to get behind the wheel of one of Chapman's finest.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: LOTUS CORTINAYear: 1966Chassis Number: BA74FP59933Registration Number: ECL 82DTransmission: ManualEngine Number: FP59933Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

JUVENILE THRESHER SHARK,Alopias vulpinus (Bonnaterre), Atlantic, North Sea, Mediterranean, 105cm longProvenance: the collection of Dr. J. Gordon Todd MBChB FRCA.McTear’s is privileged to offer the Dr. J. Gordon Todd collection of marine natural history.Dr. Todd was a well known and much respected member in Scottish natural history circles, having formed an impressive and extensive collection of natural history alongside his other passions, fossils and minerals. This collection was proudly displayed in a dedicated gallery in his home, fondly referred to as The Cabinets of Dr. Todd, where it played host to fellow enthusiasts, be they amateur or professional, collectors, academics or dealers.Dr. Todd, who received his medical degree from Glasgow University developed a close association with the Hunterian Museum at Glasgow University as a visitor, donor and lender of material for display, carrying the torch of the amateur geologist and naturalist which has been a crucial part of the British scientific and institutional exhibiting tradition for centuries.A lifelong fascination with conchology began on a childhood visit to Chennai when Gordon collected his first shell – an Indian chank from the Bay of Bengal which is regarded as sacred and is often used in Hindu ceremonies. This first ‘acquisition’ fuelled a passion which lay behind the collection we are offering at auction this month; Dr. Todd selected his shells with care so that each would bring a certain quality to his collection, a quality which we are sure a new generation of collectors will appreciate. His wider enthusiasm for the marine world is reflected in the diverse accompanying lots which include a juvenile thresher shark, an impressive selection of crab species and even a giant worm shell.It is our pleasure to bring this collection to auction and we hope that you will share our, and perhaps more importantly Dr. Todd’s, enthusiasm for these fascinating specimens.

A scarce collection of 30 Anglo Boer War letters 1899-1903 and 2 Great War letters 1915, all from Lieutenant William Rice Jeudwine to his sister Alice, later Mrs S F Barnes, the letters are mainly lengthy with much of an interesting content and all barr one with the original envelopes which have various postage stamps where applicable. Lieutenant Jeudwine writes of his journey from Alexandria to Ladysmith and of the bad state of sanitation he encounters there, he quickly travels on to Dundee and gives an account of the Battle of Talana "we kicked them out, our artillery simply smashed what they had of guns to bits..". Taken prisoner in Novemer 1899 and held at Pretoria in a POW camp for Officers he encounters Winston Churchill "..he was here for about a month and I don't think he stopped talking the whole time, the most terrible buckstick I've ever come across...". By August 1900 he is no longer a prisoner and between September and November is a patient ".. leg in plaster.." at Princess Christian Hospital near Durban, his next letter is not until October 24th 1901 from Scheepers Nek transval ".. I don't believe this war will ever end..". A letter of December 29th from Springfontin relays that ".. in the last fortnight just under 1000 Boer's have been caught..". The penultimate Anglo Boer letter of June 15th 1902 ".. it is very nice to think that there is now no more war.. soon the men will be withdrawn from the blockades as they [the blockades] are to be sold to the Boer's for £20.00 as living houses...". Final letter dated April 4th 1903 (no envelope) there now follows 2 Great War letters the first dated February 15th 1915 ".. the weather is still beyond description and our trenches as bad as ever so are the lice in our dug outs..". The next letter dated October 17th 1915 Junior United Service Club notepaper "..given three months further leave.. we were in the Gaity Theatre the night of the last zeppelin raid and bombs were dropped on it not at all pleasant..". Lietenant Richard William Rice Jeudwine jointed Princess Victoria's (Royal Irish Fusiliers) in 1899 from 3rd Batallion the Suffolk Regiment together with 7 letters dated 1919 to Alice from her son Gilbert and a letter to Gilbert from Uncle Jack [Jeudwine] 8th Battery 3rd West Riding RFA BEF dated 13 Sept 1915 ".. we live like bunny rabbits underground..we see a few Germans now and then in the distance and when we send a few shells at them they send just as many back.. the Germans fire big shells full of horrid gas which burns your eyes.."
