Edward McGuire (1932-1986)Barn OwlOil on board, 30 x 22cm (11¾ x 8¾'')Signed with initials and dated (19)'85; also signed, inscribed and dated 1985 versoEdward McGuire’s paintings are unmistakable for their slightly uncanny, surreal quality. Their dreamlike character emerges, almost paradoxically, from the sense of heightened reality he achieves in his portrait and still life subjects. The latter consisted chiefly of taxidermal birds, particularly owls, and occasionally dead game birds.McGuire was a son of the charismatic Senator Edward McGuire, a high profile sportsman and at the time owner of Brown Thomas. Despite fragile health in his early years, the young Edward grew up to be a sports enthusiast himself. Half-hearted efforts to guide him towards the family business never gained traction. He studied art history, then painting, in Florence and Rome – with a subsequent spell at the Slade in London, where he came into contact with Lucian Freud. Freud and a good friend of his, the Irish painter Patrick Swift, were by far the most important influences on McGuire’s painting.Like Freud, he combined an often bohemian lifestyle with a focused commitment to his work and, again like Freud, he was a slow, painstaking worker: to complete four paintings a year was a good average, he reckoned. Many consider him to be the best Irish portrait painter yet. He had an affinity for poetry and poets (many, including Seamus Heaney, John Montague, Michael Longley, Michael Hartnett and Paul Durcan feature in his impressive roll-call of subjects). But it’s fair to say his heart was in his bird paintings.He was just 20 when he met the Natural History Museum’s venerable taxidermist and acquired three birds from him, an owl, a lapwing and a duck. That same owl is probably the bird in this and several other paintings. “I am not a genius…” McGuire wrote, “I know my limitations and that is why I lay so much stress on the technical side.” He painted with reference to his own colour dictionary and tonal scale, compiled over a ten-year period and, he noted, regardless of subject, each painting was for him a precise construction and an exploration of colour and tonal values.Aidan Dunne, October 2021

Registration No: B3 MKKChassis No: SAJJNADW3DA154771MOT: August 202280,200 recorded miles, 7 former keepers and current ownership since 2008Offered with original bookpack, handbooks plus service book with 15 entriesLarge collection of invoices and old MOT certificatesOil and filter change in 2017 plus new rack and pinion assembly in 2013Private registration number included and said to be a 'joy' to driveOffered with a pair of replacement rear wingsLaunched in 1975, Jaguar's XJS was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post 1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form. Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Registration No: AXG 992 Chassis No: 2802719HS0 MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since 2009One of just c.3,500 80’s manufacturedAn older restoration with a large quantity of photographs accompanyingFitted with a SU pump and carburettor conversionIntroduced in June 1948, the Sunbeam-Talbot 80 was Rootes’ first new post-war design and the first Rootes car to be fitted with an overhead valve engine. Utilising an OHV version of Minx 1185cc engine (producing 47bhp), the separate chassis was derived from the 2-Litre and featured beam front axle and semi-elliptic springs. The ‘Streamstyle’ full-width body featured enclosed headlights, enclosed door hinges, ‘Opticurve’ curved windscreen and teardrop-shaped rear wheel spats. The four-speed gearbox was operated by fashionable ‘Synchromatic’ column gear change. The 80 was available as a four-door Sports Saloon and two-door Sports Convertible Coupe. Production ceased in 1950 after approximately 3500 had been built.This Sunbeam-Talbot 80 Saloon was manufactured in 1950 (the final production year) and was supplied new to the home market. Powered by the aforementioned 1185cc four-cylinder engine mated to the four-speed column change transmission. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Green with Brown leather interior trim upholstery. Entering into current ownership in 2009, the Sunbeam-Talbot is now offered from a deceased estate.An older restoration, ‘AXG 992’ has come from a period of dry-storage following the passing of the vendor (approximately six months previous) and while is running, may require some light recommissioning. Offered with a history file including an owners handbook, large quantity of restoration images and V5C document.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: RK54 ZBU Chassis No: WUAZZZ4B05N999295 MOT: October 2022Just two former keepers from newCurrent ownership since March 2013Much expenditure with marque specialists 'Unit 20' and 'Rye Motors'Number 295 of just 999 European RS6 'Plus' models producedBuilding on the standard RS6 of the time, the Plus variant not only featured a more powerful engine, but was also equipped with a sports exhaust. The ride height was also lowered by 10mm, and firmer shock absorbers were installed. The Plus model could accelerate from 0-62mph in just 4.4 seconds, and go on to a top speed of 174mph.This Audi RS6 Avant Plus is a powerful and practical family car, presented in good condition throughout and with relatively low mileage of just over 86,500 at the time of cataloguing. Under the bonnet lives a 4.2-litre twin-turbocharged V8, producing 473bhp, coupled to a five-speed ZF automatic transmission. Originally supplied here to the UK and first registered in September 2004, this RS6 Plus has just two previous registered keepers. The current owner acquired the car in 2013, and has since covered some 23,000 miles behind the wheel.Today, the bodywork presents in good condition, with flush shut lines and consistent panel gaps. There is no history of accident damage and the 'Ebony' metallic black paint appears to be the factory finish throughout. It rides on the correct set of 19-inch five-arm alloy wheels finished in anthracite, which have been recently refurbished.Finished to an extremely high specification when ordered (with the original build sheet options totalling just over 4 pages), the cockpit's tan leather contrasts pleasingly with the stealth dark exterior - it remains in very good order, with only minor marks and wear commensurate with the age and mileage. Mechanically, this RS6 Plus appears to be in fine fettle, remaining untemperamental during our recent photography session - Offered with a large file of paperwork, the vehicle has been maintained regardless of cost with servicing carried out by both main dealers and marque specialists. Back in 2018, 'RK54 ZBU' was treated to a new set of coil-over shock absorbers at a cost of £1250.00 plus VAT and earlier this year, a new battery, full service and pre-MOT inspection was carried out, later resulting in an MOT certificate being issued with zero advisories. This Audi RS6 Avant Plus is a very rare ‘super estate’, presented in original and unmolested condition with an enviable factory specification. This era of RS6 is a functional, supremely competent piece of German automotive engineering, with modern-classic status and few are still seen in use here on the UK roads.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Adam Sykes adam.sykes@handh.co.uk 07429 600332

Registration No: G10 ALP Chassis No: VFAD5030500086051 MOT: December 2022One of just 68 UK-market Alpine A610sOnly four owners from new with current registered ownership since 2006Approximately 68,000 miles from newOffered with a history file including service book displaying over 20 service stampsManufactured by the Renault-owned French carmaker Alpine and was introduced in 1991 as a replacement for the outgoing Alpine GTA. Both cars used a fiberglass body on a steel backbone chassis with a rear-mounted engine, although only a few parts were interchangeable between them. Pop-up headlights, rear-engined and rear-wheel-drive layout complete the attributes for a 1990s sports car with power provided by the considerably more powerful turbocharged PRV V6, producing some 247 bhp. With just 68 UK-supplied, right-hand drive examples of the Alpine A610, they are undoubtedly a rare and desirable French sportscar worthy of closer inspection.Manufactured in 1995, this final production year example was registered new in the UK on the 14th of March 1995. Finished in Monza Red paintwork with Black leather interior upholstery, the Alpine has just three former keepers, residing in current registered custodianship since 2006. Having covered approximately 68,000 miles from new, with a documented speedometer change (a common occurrence with A610s), at 22,348 miles in April 2002. Benefitting from air-conditioning remediation work recently, the A610 is supplied with a history file comprising a stamped service book illustrating 24 stamps with many from both main dealer or Renault specialists, along with a selection of past MOTs certificates, two sets of keys, book pack and V5C document. Offered with a fresh MOT certificate with no advisories. Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Incorporating some 40 percent new panels, the rejuvenated model range sported a revised grille, headlamps, tail-lights, bumpers and rear wings. Its cabin, meanwhile, gained a new walnut facia and improved sports seats. The new version was powered by either a punchy straight-six (3980cc) or a soporific V12 (5343cc) engine; the former DOHC unit developed some 223bhp and 283lbft of torque. Featuring a five-speed manual transmission as standard, the 4.0-litre XJS could also be had with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of over 140mph, the model proved to be a refined and relaxing drive, and production continued until 1996.Condition report: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Registration: YL05 YNJChassis No: SCFAC01A45GA03361MOT: January 2022Aston Martin DB9 presented in Titanium Silver with Falcon Grey and Obsidian Black interiorOffered with just c.25,000 miles from new and 4 former keepersBoasts specification including parking sensors, 19 inch 15 spoke wheels, desirable Michelin Pilot Sports 4S tyres and serviced in August this year First shown by Aston Martin at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show. Available both in coupé and a convertible bodystyles, the latter being known as the Volante, the DB9 was the successor of the DB7 and was the first car to be built in Aston Martin’s new factory at Gaydon in Warwickshire. The new car was considered to be such an advance on the old that Aston Martin had decided a straightforward sequential numbering would be considered inappropriate, hence why it was not titled DB8. Its bodyshell weighed 25 per cent less yet had twice the torsional rigidity, thanks to its aluminium bonnet, roof and rear wings and composite construction front wings and boot lid. The vehicle was powered by the 5.9-litre V12 used in the Vanquish, which generated 450hp, propelled the car from 0 to 60mph in 4.7 seconds and generated a top speed of 186mph. The engine largely sat behind the front-axle line to improve weight distribution, and its great handling resulted in the DB9 being adapted for use in sports car racing by Aston Martin Racing, a collaboration between Aston Martin and Prodrive. Called the DBR9, the car won in its debut at the 2005 12 Hours of Sebring, and has gone on to take wins in the American Le Mans Series, Le Mans Series, FIA GT Championship, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Indisputably one of the most beautiful cars ever designed, BBC Top Gear gave the DB9 its own section on their ‘Cool Wall’ after Jeremy Clarkson declared that it was too cool even to be classified as "Sub-Zero". Manufactured in 2005 and presented in the desirable Titanium Silver with Falcon Grey and Obsidian Black interior, YL05 YNJ is offered with just c.25,000 miles from new and shows 4 former keepers on the V5 document. Boasting factory options including piano black waterfall, heated front screen, parking sensors and 19 inch 15 spoke wheels, as well as desirable Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres, YL05 YNJ was recently subject to a healthcare check at HR Owen Aston Martin Cheltenham and comes accompanied with the original logbook containing 8 Aston Martin main dealer stamps, with the most recent in August 2021.

Registration No: Un-RegChassis No: HDC26/1235MOT: ExemptMG TF 1250cc chassis, engine and gearboxA rare survivor and potentially a rewarding winter projectMatching chassis and engine numbersPreviously dry stored for over 40 yearsBased in the town of the same name on the Isle of Man’s west coast, the Peel Engineering Company established itself as a manufacturer of fibreglass boats and motorcycle fairings before branching out into sports car bodies during the early 1950s. The company’s first foray was commendably lightweight (c.56lbs) but not self-supporting. The P1000 which followed was altogether more sophisticated. A bolt-on entity, it featured integral wheelarches, instrument panel, door pillars and double-moulded doors etc. Priced at £75 ex works, the roadster body was designed to sit atop a 7ft 6in wheelbase chassis and thus offered customers the opportunity to transform a tired pre-WW2 Morris or Ford saloon into a handsome sports car (although, some are known to have used a MG A as a donor). The P1000 was so accomplished that Ford approached Peel to supply them with fibreglass bodies for a proposed sports car project; a sort of Dagenham-made, scaled down Chevrolet Corvette if you will. However, the Isle of Man government put pay to the idea by refusing Peel planning permission to enlarge its production facilities. Peel subsequently became a manufacturer in its own right, the P50 achieving fame as the world’s smallest production car. However, the P1000 remains arguably its most attractive creation.Recently emerged from long-term storage, this Peel P1000 sports body sits atop a MG TF chassis that pleasingly retains its original 1250cc XPAG engine (and thus has the potential to be a better performer than many Ford sidevalve-engined Specials). Although, not currently registered with the DVLA, the two-seater sports a ‘WTA 220’ front number plate which would have been first issued in Devon. A potentially rewarding winter project, this handsome Peel P1000-bodied Special comes with a quantity of paperwork relating to its MG donor chassis.

Crisply styled, its smooth flowing lines and Kamm tail hid a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, disc/drum brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by a refined 2498cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed plus overdrive manual transmission, it was deceptively fast with contemporary road testers recording 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and a 121mph top speed. Writing in 1969, Autocar magazine went as far as to comment that "Even if the Austin-Healey 3000 had not been dropped, the TR6 would have taken over as the he-man's sports car in its own right".Manufactured in 1971, this TR6 is understood to have been exported when new to a left-hand-drive market. Fitted with the aforementioned 2.5-litre straight-six engine fed by twin-carburettors and mated to the four-speed manual transmission, the Triumph was repatriated in approximately 1990. Provided with a comprehensive restoration shortly after its return to the United Kingdom, this included a full respray in Green, as presented today. Residing in current ownership since 2009, the Triumph has been fitted with wire wheels shod with Pirelli P6000 tyres all-round as well as an attractive, aftermarket wood-rimmed steering wheel. With a recorded mileage of 94,832 miles (at time of consignment), ‘SVN 773K’ is offered with a current V5C document.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

An upmarket range with superior performance and price tag to match, the 8 Series was designed to be a standalone premium model although seen to be the successor to the 6 Series. The 8 Series was offered in 830i, 840Ci and 850i/Ci form and, when introduced in mid-1993, it was fitted with a 4 litre, V8 engine mated to either a five-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. Producing a very healthy 282bhp, this version could achieve the 0-62mph sprint in an impressive 6.9 seconds; importantly with the naturally aspirated V8, acceleration was effortless and refined. Over $1 billion dollars are said to have been spent on the car's design with CAD design and wind tunnel technology. From mid-1995, production phased in the newer 4.4 litre M62B44 engine, the 4.4 Sport offered a better driving experience with considerably more torque.Manufactured in 1997, this 840 CI Sport was UK-supplied when new having been ordered for ‘Dealer Own-Use’ by Sytner Nottingham. Fitted with the aforementioned 4398cc V8 engine mated to the automatic transmission, ‘V374 GAW’ was ordered new in the special-order colour of Dakar Yellow II (one of just 38 E31’s understood to have been finished in this colour) with matching special-order Black with Yellow piped interior upholstery.

More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post 1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.

In an effort to fully capitalise on the many respected names in its care, the company embarked upon a programme of 'badge engineering' and the new MG Midget was essentially a MKII Austin-Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes. In christening its new small sports car 'Midget', BMC revived a name made famous by a range of pre-war MGs. Certainly, the Midgets, old and new, shared the same basic concept - i.e. they were two-seaters clothed in a simple, relatively light body and equipped with front-mounted engines driving the rear wheels. Moreover, they had suspension and brake components etc common to other cars, making them easy to replace or repair and cheap to service. The Midget MK I was introduced in 1961 and ran for a couple of years only with the 948cc engine. In 1962 it was upgraded and the 1098cc engine was fitted and this ran for three years, but surprisingly less examples were made. It was in essence an Austin Healey Sprite with a more attractive grille and side chrome trim; and from 1962 disk brakes were standard.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Good'Engine: 'Good'Electrical Equipment: 'Good'Paintwork: 'Good'Gearbox: 'Good'Interior Trim: 'Good' Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Registration No: IOM-Reg (previously 'AWM 5') Chassis No: GFT2 MOT: ExemptExhibited at the October 1931 Salon d’Automobiles in Paris’s magnificent Grand Palais, chassis GFT2 provided coachbuilder Barker with an opportunity to showcase its talents to a truly international audience. Thought to be unique, the Swept Tail Sports Saloon body that the London firm created for the occasion was a stylistic masterclass. The Rolls-Royce’s previous owner, Julian Bowen, was unaware of its significance when he took possession in May 2008. A renowned furniture designer, the car’s lines enchanted him so much that he rejected a host of other 20/25s and spent well over a year politely badgering his immediate predecessor to sell. Applying to the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club for a set of copy build records revealed that GFT2 was a former ‘Paris Show Car’. Suitably enthused, he tracked down relevant copies of Motor and Autocar magazines which confirmed the 20/25 had originally sported a bold two-tone livery and wheel discs. Determined to return the Swept Tail Sports Saloon to its former glory, Mr Bowen embarked upon a meticulous restoration the story of which is recounted in his own words below: “We decided to start with the body repairs, keeping an eye for traces of the original colour scheme - Green and Cream! It took time to be satisfied with a hue match, but after weeks of experimentation we felt it was perfect. I was lucky to be using a small body shop outside Grantham whose approach was as fastidious and perfectionist as my own. The chromework was re-plated and the bonnet hinges remade in stainless steel. In removing the hinges, the original rivets had to be sacrificed. I purchased replacements but they stood too proud. A retired friend heard of the problem and offered to machine over 400 rivets to the correct profile! He also remade the Barker patented dipping system in stainless steel. At the same time all the dome headed coach bolts on the body were remade in stainless steel. A commercial supplier supplied new wheel discs. The original windscreen had delaminated so a new one was obtained. The chrome went back on, the locks were repaired, and the headlamps sent to Sheffield to be refurbished. It was time to tackle the trim. Around 1960 'Arabella' (as she is known) had been sold to America spending the next 25 years in Florida. Painted Copper Bronze, fitted with Buick bumpers and shorn of her wheel discs, she also suffered heat damage to the interior. Thankfully, the original but heavily cracked horsehide leather was covered over with vinyl rather than being discarded. A small tannery in Southern Spain, who tanned leather by hand, were able to colour match using cowhide. I already knew a trimmer whose work was of very high quality and was confident he would maintain the standards already achieved. The original stuffing of horsehair and latex was re-used. There were no carpets or headlining present, so we chose colours that suited the rest of the livery. Basically the engine and drivetrain were in good condition, but some ancillary equipment had gone missing over time. The most difficult items to source were the under trays and the starter solenoid. The engine had been worked on by the previous owner and already boasted an aluminium cylinder head and re-metalled bearings. The engine compartment was tidied, and all electrics re-wired using correct colours. After steam cleaning the chassis and re-painting, she was much admired by all who saw her. Over the course of the restoration, research into the car's history proved very interesting. The first owner, who saw it at the Paris Show in the Grand Palais was a well-known enthusiast for the marque, Captain JF Kruse MC. Born in 1892, Jack Kruse was the eldest son of a successful banker who, having survived a torpedo attack in WWI, left the Royal Navy with the rank of Captain. Following the war, he established successful business enterprises in England and The Netherlands, married an American hotel heiress, and cultivated various connections among British high society. By the end of the 1920s, Capt. Kruse maintained residences in London and the French Riviera. During this period, Capt. Kruse also developed a passion for elegant, high-performance motor cars. He owned some of the finest thoroughbreds of the era including an Alfa Romeo 6C 1750, Bentley 6 1/2 Litre, Bugatti Type 35, Mercedes-Benz SS, Low-Chassis Invicta, and Lancia Lambda, among others. Inspired by his close associate Lord Rothermere, the co-founder of the Daily Mail and an early patron of Rolls-Royce, Capt. Kruse became one of the firm’s most important customers, purchasing three Silver Ghosts, four 20 HPs, four Phantom Is, four Phantom IIs, and four 20/25s. Due to his friendship with Frank Manning, the showroom manager for Barker & Co., most of Capt. Kruse’s Rolls-Royce were bodied by this prestigious coachbuilder. The next owner, the Marquis de Portago, who bought the car in 1933, was a personal friend of Captain Kruse, the two having met on the polo pitch at the Hurlingham Club. In 1928, he had had an only son named Alfonso, whose mother used the car until it was disposed of just pre-WW2. Alfonso became a famous racing driver before his death in the 1957 Mille Miglia. The car spent World War Two in storage in Montpelier Square, London, emerging in the ownership of another Captain - Captain Drummond MC, a member of the banking family and a distant relative of the Queen Mother. Around 1960 she was sold to an American Serviceman based at Bicester and subsequently shipped to Florida. He registered her '1931 RR', and over 20 years allowed her to descend into dilapidation. She was spotted in Miami and brought back to the UK by Porters of Kensington and, shortly afterwards, c.1985, acquired by the retired motor engineer in Lincolnshire from whom I bought her in 2008. Built as a 'one off', she remains unique although rumours exist of a similar body built on a Phantom chassis. Since completion 'Arabella' has travelled c.16,000 miles. The first ride overseas was to the Classic Le Mans meeting, then a tour was made under the auspices of the ‘Club d'Auto’ around the Champagne vineyards of Epernay. We then attended the Circuit des Remparts at Angouleme before being invited to attend the British Car Club Meeting in St Moritz where we participated in the Rally, negotiating two Alpine Passes of seven and eight thousand feet before coming second in the Concours. She has made two trips to the Goodwood Revival and in 2012 she won Best in Class and Best in Show at the RREC Annual Rally at Rockingham. The achievement shortly afterwards of winning 'Best in Show' at the 2013 NEC Classic Car Show is a fitting testimonial to the craftsmen and friends who have helped to create the masterpiece that is the first Rolls-Royce to win this coveted award” Purchased by the vendor from Mr Bowen via our 2015 RREC Burghley House auction, GFT2 has continued its winning ways. Much appreciated wherever she goes, ‘Arabella’ was crowned 'Best in Show' at the 2018 RREC North of England Rally. Apart from this, ‘Arabella’ has been used for many local events on the Isle of Man since being acquired by the vendor. The last couple of months have seen the 20/25 treated to a new battery and full service. Worthy of close inspection, this decidedly special Rolls-Royce’s return to market has only been prompted by impending medical treatment. Offered for sale with large history file, handbook, car cover, hazard light kit (unfitted) and sundry tools.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Time and again, the motoring press have extolled its handling and roadholding, frequently finding it more fun to drive than cars costing even four times as much. While it is heartening to appreciate that the DNA of such classic British stalwarts as the MGB, Austin Healey Sprite and Lotus Elan is embodied in this Japanese wonder car, it surely also a little sad to consider what an opportunity was missed by the British motor industry. Nowadays, first generation MX-5s have become desirable cars, with those in good condition increasingly hard to come across and thus fetching significant premiums.Registered on 12 May 1995 and presented in Red with contrasting black interior, M823 DBY presents a rare opportunity to acquire a UK supplied first generation MX5.
