18th Century Irish SchoolThree-quarter-length, "Portrait of Sir Marmaduke Coghill, sitting in his robes," A letter on a table beside him reads, 'To the Rt. Honble Doctor Coghill, Chancelour of the Exchequer, Dublin, 1735,' O.O.C., 129cms x 103cms (51" x 40 1/2"), in narrow gilt frame. (1)Marmaduke Coghill (1673-1739) was the elder son of Sir John Coghill of Drumcondra. MP for Dublin University from 1713, he was an active parliamentarian and a friend of Speaker Conolly. He was a zealous promoter of the Irish economy, of the building of Dr Steevens's Hospital, and of the affairs of Trinity College. He was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1735.He succeeded his father as a judge of the Prerogative Court in 1699. This court dealt mainly with wills and marriages. He himself never married, his engagement having been allegedly broken off by his fiancée after he delivered a judgement that it was lawful for a husband to beat his wife in moderation, using a little cane or switch.Inheriting Drumcondra House (now All Hallows College), he had it rebuilt on an elaborate scale in 1727, possibly by Edward Lovett Pearce. He lived there "in luxury" with his unmarried sister Mary, who after his death had an elaborate marble monument by Peter Scheemakers erected to his memory in the Protestant church at Drumcondra.Attributed variously to Francis Bindon (1690-1765), Stephen Slaughter (1697-1765) Philip Hussey (c. 1713-1783). But is this the famous portrait of him painted by Charles Jervas?Provenance: Drumcondra House, Dublin, the Coghill family by direct descent. (1)

MG Magnette Mk4 “Farina” 1963 LHD Automatic - In 1961 MG replaced their Mk3 Farina bodied Magnette with the MK4 improving the handling and engine along the way with new anti-roll bars front and rear, suspension that lowered the ride height of the car plus a longer, wider wheel base. The engine was replaced using the 1622cc unit from their successful sports car the MGA. All this gave these later MG saloons handling and performance more akin to the sports car heritage associated with the “MG” name. This superb example is a very rare automatic gearbox equipped Left Hand Drive model that was manufactured for the USA home market and first registered in 1963. Having spent most of its life prior to re-importation in a warm dry climate and with only 67000 odd miles recorded in total, it has survived excellently both externally and internally. Presented in a lovely hue of dark green, the paintwork appears to be original with only small areas where the expected odd scratch etc have been rectified over the years. As the vendor states, this car has never been rusty or restored. The interior is the same, still original in Dove Grey leather and having never had a radio fitted the dash is un-cut with the original matching wood blanking plate in place and unused standard speaker mount below. There is a small area of discoloration to the driver’s seat bolster which seems to be where something was spilt and then cleaned at some point. Easy to recolonise to lose this which the vendor resisted doing as he preferred its originality. Mechanically the vendor describes the engine as “runs as quiet as a mouse” with the auto gearbox operating as it was designed to, as do all the other mechanics on the car. In fact in 2015 he completed a 1000 odd mile trip through France visiting the famous WW2 sites such as Normandy, all without the car missing a beat. The car comes complete with a large file of old MOT’s, invoices etc etc plus handbooks, manuals and period sales literature, it even has an original American “Pink slip” . The vendor also wants to bring to attention to all perspective owners, the car is so original it is still running as a “positive Earth” car as designed. With only 7 in total Farina bodied MK3 and 4 Magnettes now left taxed for road use and one more on SORN, these cars are getting exceedingly rare and are increasing in value every day. This is a turn key ready to go car with the vendor placing a new MOT prior to its sale at the auction. Being offered at the sort of reserve that makes it a must buy for any collector or somebody looking for an entry into affordable classic car ownership. NOTE. Personal plate has been removed now back on the correct Age Related “A” suffix plate and a “Heritage Certificate” for the car is in the paperwork. The original amber front lenses are supplied if the new owner wishes to replace the clear ones with amber bulbs that are currently fitted. MOT now carried out which it passed with flying colours.

To many, the TR6's sharp styling - Karmann's reinterpretation of the Michelotti-penned TR4/TR5 - looks ever better with age, and this notably smart red example certainly strikes the right pose. Trimmed in Black and riding on Minilite-style wheels, it benefits from a restoration in 2012 and a range of mechanical upgrades. These include: competition clutch; oil cooler; EBC Green Stuff brake pads operating on drilled/grooved discs; and a roll cage. Further additions to the specification include a factory hardtop, superior four-speaker stereo and USB connectivity. The vendor informs us that the Triumph 'drives and handles beautifully' and regards the bodywork, paintwork, original Black vinyl interior, straight-six engine and manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. He says the car has travelled just 5,000 miles in the last 11 years and believes the indicated total of 79,396 to be genuine. He is now offering 'SVR 43H' complete with an MOT valid until July 20 next year.
