• Extensive restoration over a number of years • Complete with original hardtop and storage frame • Comprehensive history file including new MoT test certificate Originally spotted by the vendor during a drive through the German countryside, this 190 SL was in classic ‘barn-find’ condition and had been in this state for a number of years, the result of a deceased spouse. After an equitable arrangement was arrived at, it was then imported into the UK in 1973, as per the original H.M. Customs & Excise document shown in the history folder. Including, of course, a number of other official import documents, including notification of vehicle arrival (NOVA). The official date of manufacture was later confirmed by Mercedes-Benz as the 21st March 1960, a formal document received after an extensive period of restoration with initial UK registration taking place in April 2016. MoT test certificates are also filed for 2015 and 2017 with a brand new one for the year 2025/2026 as well as vehicle tax from 2017 onwards, despite the zero historic vehicle cost. Almost all parts that were damaged or corroded have been sourced by official German and English SL specialists, notably rebuilt Solex carburettor kits, all suspension components amongst many more from SLS in Hamburg and Motorvation, a complete new subframe from AFL in London, Niemöller in Mannheim and bumpers, carbs, brakes and steering as well as numerous other parts and labour from Hilton & Moss in Essex. Much of the later restoration took place by Motorvation, a classic car restoration specialist based in Hertfordshire and established back in the 1980s. Over the past 40 years, Motorvation has been involved in classic car servicing, restoration, classic race/rally preparation and caring from a basic oil change right up to fast-road suspension set-up for a Goodwood Group 5 Lancia Stratos. Much work was undertaken including a rebuilt dynamo, a hood frame that was prepared for the preparation and fitting of all material panels to include the removal and re-fitting of the front windscreen and wooden dashboard sections. Quite apart from the complete engine bench-strip and rebuild in 2012, significant restoration of the coachwork has also taken place with new front floors, exhaust sections and other parts to fit. Needless to say, all bright-work has been re-chromed and refitted with magnificent reflective surfaces all round. Steering was built back up as indeed were the electrics throughout. In fact, from the suspension to the heater matrix and pretty much everything in-between has been stripped down, re-built and re-installed costing many thousands of pounds. If fact, going through the heavy Leaver-Arch file of invoices, the costs are significantly more than the reserve set by the vendor. Indeed, the process as a whole took, reportedly, nigh on 15 years. The rebuild was thorough and included stripping the engine down, polishing the crankshaft, resurfacing the valves and seats, re-boring the block and grinding the thrust faces to suit the shells. The radiator has been re-cored by the right people, Feltham Radiators Ltd. There were numerous issues to overcome but all were addressed methodically and correctly until the engine was fully installed and ready to run. This was all taken care of by Motorvation and Bob Harman Performance Ltd of Hertfordshire. Motorvation rebuilt the Solex carburettors although, at time of writing, they are still problematic and so Silchester Garage in Hampshire, well respected SL specialists are going through the car in preparation for the sale which will include the carburettors, headlights, some trim and various other elements that need tidying up. The interior appears to be in excellent condition with good but original front leather seating and completely re-upholstered fresh carpet, trim and all associated additional detailing. New Vredestein Sprint Classic tyres are fitted to each corner with matching chrome and painted hubcaps as well as an original (but worn) spare in the boot, even the correct jack is present. All instruments and lighting have been re-wired correctly and linkages re-aligned right down to the glove compartment lid and associated chrome strip. It has clearly been well restored over the years with body panels correctly by Smooth Classic Restorations and mechanically overhauled by a series of professional and dedicated specialists right down to the soft and hardtop. This represents an extremely fine example, well documented and arguably in one of the most desirable and marketable colour schemes. Furthermore, it benefits from a matching hardtop, something that is not always present with these W121's and certainly not easy to find. Supplied in splendid condition with a comprehensive history alongside and certainly an example that could carry off any amount of winner’s silverware. Consigned by Edward Bridger-Stille Interested parties should note that, once this car has been sold, it will be collected by Mercedes-Benz specialist, Silchester Garage, and have the works finished on the hardtop/rear-screen and fitted prior to delivery. All this to take place at the vendor's expense.

This is a finely crafted scale model of the USS Missouri (BB-63), the iconic Iowa-class battleship that played a pivotal role during Operation Desert Storm (1990-1991). This detailed replica captures the essence of one of the most storied naval vessels in U.S. history, known as the "Mighty Mo." The model showcases intricate craftsmanship, featuring a helicopter landing pad, powerful gun turrets, radar arrays, and deck detailing. Mounted on a polished wooden base with brass supports, this piece is a stunning homage to the naval might of the USS Missouri during its final combat deployment. The USS Missouri was part of Task Force 155, providing critical firepower in the Gulf War. During Desert Storm, it launched Tomahawk cruise missiles and delivered devastating naval gunfire support, cementing its legacy as one of the greatest battleships in U.S. naval history. Key details include: Highly detailed representation of the USS Missouri during its Desert Storm configuration. Features helicopters, deck weapons, and radar systems in precise detail. Painted in authentic naval greys with operational deck markings. Mounted on a polished wooden base for an elegant display. Historical Significance: The USS Missouri, commissioned in 1944, is best known for serving in World War II, the Korean War, and its final mission during Operation Desert Storm. It was on the Missouri's deck that Japan signed the Instrument of Surrender to end World War II. In Desert Storm, it proved the enduring value of battleships, launching 28 Tomahawk missiles and firing over 700 16-inch shells, supporting coalition forces during one of the largest military campaigns of the 20th century. This model is a tribute to the ship's legacy, celebrating its role in Desert Storm and its place in naval history. This item has a base included.

An exceptional Kongo "Nkisi Nkondi" figure" Few African sculptures are as iconic as human figures covered in hardware. Such figures,variably called “nail fetish”, “power figure”, or “nkisi nkondi”, were long considered byEuropean observers as quintessential expressions of witchcraft and superstition. They are, in fact,sophisticated medical and legal remedies of the Kongo peoples, a cluster of ethnic groups thatlive at the mouth of the Congo River in Central Africa. The Kongo made such figures to housespiritual beings that could be activated in order to intervene in human affairs. They were adjuredto heal illnesses, settle disputes, take oaths, punish wrongdoers, and protect the community.In its original setting, this sculpture functioned as the vessel for a spirit. It is called nkisi, a termthat designates both the ancestor or nature spirit that inhabited it, and the container itself. Nkisican also be translated as “sacred remedy”. A nkisi-receptacle can take a variety of forms, like abasket, a shell, or a glass bottle. A container in the shape of a human figure with pieces of iron iscalled a nkisi nkondi, “a hunter spirit-vessel”. Such a power figure used to hunt thieves,bewitchers, and people who had broken taboos or who did not keep their word. Each nail, screw,and blade driven into the wood corresponds with a specific request for action addressed to thenkisi-spirit, whose supernatural powers were invoked and stirred up. The figure now constitutes anotarial record, so to speak, documenting in iron all the pleas, agreements, oaths, curses anddemands for vengeance that it was presented with and of which it took care.Works like this resulted from the collective vision of several people rather than a single artist,and changed dramatically in appearance over time. A sculptor carved an empty figure in wood,which a ritual expert subsequently loaded with sacred medicines. These magical substances werelocated in the square box on the belly and in the charge on top of the head, both sealed in placewith resin. Spirit-embedding medicines were necessary to attract and fix a nkisi in the vessel, andoften included earth from a grave site. Once “contained”, spirit-admonishing medicines wereused to entreat the spirit in a controlled manner so that it could act for the benefit of an individualor a community. Over the course of decades, priests, healers, and users added substances to thefigure, to trigger its powers, to seal agreements, or to remind the nkisi what to do and where togo. Today, the figure is covered with shreds of cloth tied to nails or bundled into small packages,and with pierced shells, fruits, seedpods and tops of gourds attached to metal rings or hangingfrom pieces of rope. The attachments also include different kinds of glass beads, as well as smallcarved wood pieces, one of which may show a stylized face. The additions are so dense that thefigure’s left arm, with the hand resting in the hip, is no longer visible.All the body poses and attachments of a nkisi nkondi have specific meanings. The raised rightarm, which once held a knife, is at once defensive and offensive. The four fingers of the right hand, forming a circle, with the long thumb pointing upwards, refer to the earth and heaven, thussymbolizing the unbreakable bond created by the spirit when activated. The combination of onehand upraised and the other in the hip is common among persons of authority. It signifies theability to review a situation and act accordingly. The figure’s open mouth indicates, among otherthings, the need to feed the spirit in order to encourage it to perform a particular action, as wellas its eloquence in administering justice. The mirror that covers the abdominal box and the glasseyes, made from imported materials, were meant to enhance the nkisi’s clairvoyance, necessaryto perceive the human and the spirit worlds. Many attributes of a power figure make sensebecause of sound associations and word puns in the Kongo language. For instance, one of theshells attached on the front, which appears also on other nkisi nkondi, has a spiral form. Such aform is called nzinga, a word that evokes luzinga, “long life”. The various seedpods attached tothe figure have not yet been identified and we do not know their indigenous names. Yet we canassume that these names, too, reveal some desired outcome.This nineteenth-century nkisi nkondi, with its exceptionally dense and well-preservedattachments, belonged to the Belgian botanist and folklorist Jean Chalon (1846-1921). Hementioned it in a publication from 1920. The power figure has not been altered since it leftAfrica. The countless additions testify to its long-lasting success as a protective guardian andpunitive hunter."Jan-Lodewijk Grootaers45 cmProvenanceBelgian botanist and folklorist Jean Chalon (1846-1921).LiteraturePublished in CHALON, Jean. 1920."

CRIMEAN WAR. Provost-Marshal William Donald MacDonald, 93rd (Sutherland Highlanders) Regiment of Foot Four autograph letters signed to his mother, father, and sister, Mary, June 1854 - February 1855, written from Balaklava and Scutari, totalling 13 sides, some letters with multiple date entries. Sold with full typed transcripts for each letter. The letters offer firsthand accounts of military movements, daily life, and the realities of war during the early period of the Crimean campaign. Some excerpts include:Scutari and Varna, June 1854Macdonald's letter to his sister Mary begins with gratitude for correspondence from home and transitions into detailed accounts of military operations. He describes the combined British, French, and Turkish forces assembling near Varna, expressing optimism for their campaign: "What various rumours we hear daily respecting the war and the probabilities of peace... the combined army will present so respectable an appearance that I can almost fancy your reading some day about 20th July, in the Times, by Elec. Telegraph, important victory etc etc.” Remarking on daily activities, "I have now plenty to do, out riding about from 8am to 6pm only coming home to get another horse & passed by having to prosecute some natives before the Pasha or soldiers before their Col(onel): I am going to prosecute 5 natives today for being concerned in firing into our Artillery camp, one of them will certainly come to great (bastinadoed)" (foot whipped). He captures the volatile local atmosphere: "Everyone here is armed with guns, pistols & knives. I never go out without some sort of weapon & the inhabitants think nothing of human life." He praises the Turkish troops: “I saw some of these latter drilling yesterday & they made a very respectable appearance.”Macdonald details his personal circumstances, including his establishment of horses and staff: “On the whole though unlucky I am contented with my establishment which consists of self & 3 horses, an Interpreter & 2 servants.” Reflecting on his surroundings, he describes Varna: "Varna is a tolerable place for a town in Turkey, but still it is as bad as the meanest village in England."Scutari, February 1855 Addressed to his mother, this letter captures the grim realities of wartime mortality and hospital conditions. Macdonald contrasts traditional funerals with the harrowing scenes at Scutari: “50-60 dead bodies [are] huddled in one large hole daily, one service read over the whole & that is all.” He highlights the staggering death toll: “In the month of January 1482 were buried here alone, not reckoning the Crimea, Varna... Malta & Corfu where we have respectively 1000, 400, 250 & 460 sick.”The logistical challenges of managing the sick and wounded dominate his narrative: “The officers really available for work here are 6 in number which gives them plenty to do.” Despite the bleak conditions, he conveys a glimmer of optimism as he notes improvements: “An officer just come in from the Crimea has told me matters are greatly improved within the last few days so it is really to be hoped they will continue improving.”Balaklava, Crimea, December 1854 This letter, addressed to his father, showcases the campaign's challenging logistics and labour-intensive efforts. Macdonald describes the vast scale of labour: “300 Highlanders & 200 Marines 400 French troops are daily employed carrying 10-inch shells from this to the heights – 2 men to each shell & 500 Turks carry gabions, fascines, planking for guns to rest on & to build houses.”He recounts the strain between the British and French forces: “The French are very much annoyed with us at our shortcomings in the line of the Commissariat.” He also notes the anticipation of significant military action: "We are all expecting something great to come off about the New Year so many heavy guns & large shot & shell having gone up of late.” Macdonald offers personal insights, such as his remarks on Russian deserters under his command: “Out of 14 only one could sign his name, but all are contented with their lot.” Lastly, he reflects on his career prospects, hoping for recognition: “I am looking forward to when this is ended being made a Bt Major shd [should] I have performed my work satisfactorily.” Footnote: Lieutenant-Colonel William Donald Macdonald (b.1827, Scotland - d.1862, India) Footnote:Wiliam Donald Macdonald, born 15th September 1827. Married Emma Lindsay, 30th Augst 1860. His brother, Major Henry Macdonald, Bengal Infantry, was murdered at Fort Michni, 1873.
