Lot 147

2005 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Transmission: automaticMileage:43000The Bentley Continental Flying Spur (2006 - 2013) is the second Bentley manufactured since Volkswagen Group purchased the brand in 1999, after the Continental GT. The Flying Spur is essentially a four-door version of the GT, with a longer wheelbase and greater length for more spacious rear seating. The two models are similarly priced and the Flying Spur carries the same twin-turbo 6.0-litre W12 used in the Continental GT, for an output of 600bhp. It has a 0 to 60 time of a very impressive 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 195 mph. The steering column-mounted paddle shifters enable direct access to the six-speed gearbox when the ZF transmission is in sports mode or the car can be driven at a more leisurely pace in automatic mode. Twelve inches longer than the GT and sharing the same permanent four-wheel drive platform and twin-turbo 6.0-litre W12 engine, although it must be said the Flying Spur is not just about eye-watering performance, the cabin is whisper quiet at any speed thanks to the silky engine and the extensive noise insulation measures that extend to double-pane glazing.This Bentley benefits from a full main dealer service history. To drive such a car is a memorable experience, when they have been cosseted in such a way as this example has it enhances the driving experience even further. The specification of a Flying Spur is exceptional with climate control front and rear, heated seats, electric memory seats and air conditioned seats. Finished in silver with black interior and supplied with a V5C registration document together with an Mot test certificate valid until 10th February 2022. This has been an exceptionally well cared for example having had ten services throughout its life all at Bentley main dealers, the last one was carried out by Jack Barclay on 12th March 2018 at 40,410 miles. The ergonomics of a Bentley Flying Spur are superb and the interior is remarkably sumptuous with ample leather and wood. Without doubt this car offers exceptional value for money.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1966 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda Transmission: manualMileage:6305Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 1963, the 230 SL was a very different car to its predecessors. Intended as the replacement for the 190 SL, the 230 SL abandoned the four-cylinder engine in favour of a 2.3 litre fuel-injected six cylinder engine, producing 150bhp. The new engine was derived from that of the great 220 SE. The Paul Bracq penned body was an all new, stylish design which became an instant classic. Beneath the skin, the running gear was conventional Mercedes-Benz, featuring independent suspension, disc brakes on the front and rear drums. Top speed was in excess of 120mph. Soon after the 230 SL was announced, Eugen Bohringer drove one to victory in the Spa-Sofia-Liège Rally and, although competition outings are rare, this was the sort of debut one would expect from the Stuttgart factory. These SL models were amongst the most-loved sports-tourers of their day and continue to be highly sought after by collectors.This fabulous 230 SL is finished in the striking colour combination of Signal Red with black interior and with a black hardtop. Subject to a huge restoration programme, this Mercedes-Benz presents in remarkable condition and must surely be one of the best available on the market today. The quality of the restoration work needs to be viewed in person to appreciate the workmanship. We are advised she drives as good as she looks, the 2.3 litre engine is mated to a manual gearbox. Now UK registered and supplied with a V5C registration document this Mercedes-Benz is in left hand guise;this is an opportunity to purchase one of the best Pagoda’s we have seen.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

Lot 152

2005 Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG Transmission: automaticMileage:79844The C55 signified a return to AMG’s V8 roots, after barely a three-year flirtation with a supercharged V6. AMG found 8,100 homes for the C32, but the AMG engineers seemed much happier now that there was a serious, big-capacity, naturally aspirated 5.4litre V8 powering the meatiest C-Class and the badge is there to, well, to ensure the owners don’t forget.It is not the performance, AMG claimed 5.2 seconds to 62mph for both C55 and C32, or even the transformation to a deep, wonderfully muscular exhaust note, but the makeover in the dynamics that stood the new sports saloon apart. The C55 marked a small, but perceptible, shift towards a sharper, more sporting focus, that set it closer to the M3 than any previous AMG hotrod C-Class.This example of this brute of a car is presented in silver with black leather interior and comes with electric heated front seats, sunroof, air conditioning with climate control. Also accompanying the car is its original service book showing frequent servicing at almost yearly intervals from 31st June 2005 to October 2019. With the values of the earlier Cosworth-inspired super sports Mercedes rocketing well into six figures, this pure-blood AMG super saloon in the lightweight C-Class bodyshell is already a collectible Mercedes AMG hot rod, with blistering performance and that oh-so-inspiring and famous AMG V8 exhaust note.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

2010 Porsche 911 / 997 Gen 2 Turbo S Cabriolet Transmission: automaticMileage:7018Porsche has traditionally raised the appeal of the 911 Turbo during the latter part of its lifecycle with a heavily optioned 'S' model and the 997 Turbo is no exception. The twin-turbocharged 3.8 litre engine of the regular Turbo model has been subtly tweaked to boost performance and receives a nominal 1.0 bar of boost (against 0.8 bar on the standard version) along with lightly modified turbocharger vanes and a carbon fibre air manifold to endow the S with 530bhp and a continuous (not over-boosted) 516lb ft of torque. That’s 30bhp and 37lb ft more than the Turbo resulting in a class-leading (at the time) 0-62 mph in 3.1 seconds although the top speed remained unchanged. The facelifted version of Porsche’s 997 Turbo was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. It was fitted with a completely new 3.8 litre engine generating a maximum power output of 530bhp, thanks to revised Borg-Warner variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers, whilst the optional seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox replaced the Tiptronic. With PDK and the, also optional, Sport-Chrono package, which includes the availability of electronically controlled launch control and an over-boost function for temporarily increasing the turbo-pressure, Porsche claimed the 911 Turbo would accelerate from 0–62 mph in 3.4 seconds and before reaching a top speed of a staggering 194 mph.This one family owned from new, low mileage, example is a second generation, 997 Turbo S cabriolet, which was delivered by Porsche and first registered on 27th November 2010. Resplendent in the rare PTS (paint to sample) specification of Ice Blue metallic with a wonderful black and cream full leather interior. One should not overlook the high specification of this 997, it comes with the desirable GT sports steering wheel with aluminium paddles amongst many other important features. Diligently maintained by both a Porsche main dealer and a specialist, this wonderful example showing a mere 7,018 miles from new has had two services, the drive belt being replaced during the later and four new tyres also being fitted. Offered from a private collection and in very good order throughout, the paintwork presents extremely well as does the alloy wheels and interior, as you would expect with such a low mileage car. Presented to auction in superb order, this 997 comes complete with a history file including the service and maintenance booklets, the current UK registration document and a MoT test certificate valid until September 2021.The vendor reports that the 997’s PDK gearbox makes for an unforgettable driving experience. Combining earth-shattering performance with genuine day-to-day usability, the Turbo S cabriolet is untouchable, and in this delightful colour combination and low mileage, appears irresistible.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.

1989 Toyota Supra Turbo Transmission: automaticMileage:35360The initial four generations of the Supra were produced from 1978 to 2002. The fifth generation has been produced since March 2019 and went on sale in May 2019. The styling of the original Supra was derived from the Toyota Celica, but it was both longer and wider. Starting in mid 1986, the A70 Supra became a separate model from the Celica. In turn, Toyota also stopped using the prefix Celica and named the car Supra.This lovely UK supplied from new example, is presented in Supra White with full blue leather interior. The car had a major service carried out by the previous owner in 2019 costing £2,471 which included the cambelt. It has had little use in the last nine years, covering less than 700 miles in that time and the present odometer reading is believed to be genuine. The history file includes the original service book with fifteen stamps, eleven of which are main dealer, between 1989 and 2007 at 24,013 miles, all MoT test certificates from when first due in 1992 until this year, handbooks and wallet. The original spare wheel, which has never been used, remains with the car. It comes with air conditioning, electric windows, sports seats, overdrive, cruise control, Sony CD player and ECT Power (extra power at the touch of a button). These models have reached ‘cult status’ in our opinion and a low mileage example such as this is a great proposition.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1963 Daimler SP250 ‘B’ Specification Transmission: manualMileage:82225The controversially styled Daimler Dart was introduced at the New York Motor Show in 1959 and had its European debut at the 1959 Earls Court Motor Show; the Dart name was soon dropped after the threat of legal action from Chrysler who had a car of that name within their Dodge division. Thereafter this new sports car was known as the Daimler SP250. Power was provided by the 2.5 litre, Edward Turner designed, V8 that soon became revered for the smoothness in its power delivery with 140bhp on tap. Independent double wishbone front suspension at the front and half elliptical springs at the rear with a live rear axle kept the car on the road with stopping power supplied by hydraulic disc brakes on all four corners. The coachwork was constructed with glass reinforced plastic providing a tough, strong and lightweight shape that enhanced performance with exciting and non-traditional looks. The 120mph plus capability was recognised by the police and they were soon being used as high-speed chase cars.This very good Daimler SP250 ‘B’ Specification was first registered on Valentine’s day 1963 and was restored in the 1980’s. In the late 1980’s, after the restoration, it was purchased by Mr. John Hill who kept the car for 18 years before selling it to the current owner in 2007. Over the next few years, the car has had various specialist work carried out, mostly by John Kemply historic sports and race car specialists of Sussex. This work included a full engine rebuild which involved it been fully balanced and using original ‘old stock’ Hepworth pistons and crankshaft, the gearbox fully rebuilt and fitting a diaphragm clutch with a thrust bearing conversion, Spax shock absorbers with replacement rear springs, a fast flow radiator and additional electric fan, a complete stainless steel exhaust system, electronic ignition, a new fuel tank with integral reserve fuel solenoid, Coopercraft front brake calipers and brake discs and new tyres. Finished in red with black interior, this SP250 is supplied with the complete original front bumper, a V5 registration document and a file containing invoices for the work carried out over recent years. The MoT history shows that this car has covered less than 10,000 miles whilst in the current owner’s possession. This car comes from a private collection of a discerning collector and enthusiast, which can be seen in the care taken with this car. This is a great opportunity to own a rare ‘B’ Specification SP250 which is very usable and appreciating car.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Range Rover CSK Transmission: manualMileage:158,438The limited edition Range Rover CSK is named after Charles Spencer King, the man who designed the original two-door Range Rover over 20 years ago. The CSK was intended primarily to publicise the new anti-roll suspension and was promoted as a sportier Range Rover but most elements of its specification were drawn from the four-door Vogue SE or from US-market models. Each car has an individually numbered plaque on the radio panel confirming its exclusivity, discreetly bearing his insignia and, in 1990, would set you back £28,995 for the manual or £30,319.32 for the automatic. The CSK features a number of modifications improving both performance and passenger comfort and became the fastest production Range Rover ever built at that time with the proven and re-chipped version of the 3.9 litre, V8 engine developing 185bhp. The increase in performance was complemented by improved handling at high speeds with the introduction of front and rear anti-roll bars and sports dampers to give a smoother, more comfortable ride.  Standard equipment includes a six-speaker security coded stereo system, air-conditioning, central locking and electrically operated tilt/slide sunroof, electric windows and heated door mirrors. Also, standard is one of the world's most advanced four-wheel drive ABS braking system which prevents wheel-lock in the worst conditions on any combination of surfaces.This CSK is number 181 of 200 examples manufactured. An extensive restoration was carried out between 2012 and 2018, this was a ‘body off’ restoration giving clear and encumbered access to the chassis. The restoration cost was an eye-watering £113,000,this gives an indication to the extensiveness of work carried out and more importantly the quality of the work. Described as being in ‘great running order’ and sitting proudly on a relatively new set of Michelin tyres, this limited edition and highly sought-after Range Rover comes with a V5C registration document and the restoration invoices Interested parties should note that this vehicle developed a fault with the transfer box on the way here. This will be repaired at the vendors expense and the vehicle delivered to the new owner free of charge (within reason).Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:92902 With the R107 shape Mercedes-Benz, you are very much buying into an image. The style and flair are there in spades married, obviously, to renowned German build-quality. There are many variations on the theme in terms of engine size and the larger the size, generally, the more desirable, the car and so it is with this ‘Sports Licht’ roadster. The biggest on offer in Europe was the five litre, V8 engine and it is this well-engineered power plant that can be found under this bonnet today.Presenting well in the rare but attractive colour combination of Almandine Red with cream interior, this classic looking Mercedes has benefitted from recent extensive work by the SL Shop, N J Restorations and D-Class automotive that has totalled over £35,000. These comprehensive works included: replacement bulkhead, a new soft top, extensive work on the suspension, brakes and engine with new tyres, new carpets and seat covers. In addition to this a bare metal respray has been completed by NJ Restoration and the replacement bulkhead is still under warranty from the SL Shop. There is both a photographic history of the restoration and a file of receipts, invoices and old MoT’s to accompany ten years of service history. This 500 SL is one of the last of the R107 models to leave the world-famous Stuttgart factory (registered in December 1989) and features the optional rear seats and the desirable removable hardtop. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until July 2021 and given the values achieved at auction recently, G794 CLK can only be described as extremely well estimated. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

Lot 199

1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3 427ci Transmission: automaticMileage:90000This rare NCRS Top Flight 1968 Corvette Coupé is presented in Silverstone Silver with a black interior and is powered by its original matching numbers IM-L68, 427 cubic inch 400 bhp engine with correct numbers, fitted with 3x2 Holley carburettors, all of this is mated to a four-speed transmission.Boasting air conditioning, tinted glass, power steering, power brakes and complete with the original tank sticker, this car is in impeccable condition and we are informed in perfect working order. The paint is described as flawless; indeed the entire vehicle is in incredible concours condition including the undercarriage and frame.Built in early March 1968 it is believed only 116 Corvettes were built with the 427ci /400hp block mated to a four-speed gearbox. Understood to have had just three owners, the current owner has had the vehicle for 10 years. It appears to have a genuine 90,000 miles on the odometer, substantiated by the original owner’s personal maintenance notes in the Owner’s Manual which contains hand-written maintenance notes to 77,280 miles.This stunning car received an NCRS Top Flight award in 2004 and again in 2019; an award which was created by the National Corvette Restorers Society in 1974 to recognise cars that have been preserved or restored to the highest level of achievement through the NCRS Flight Judging Process. The overall score was 96.48% in 2004 and the deficits noted on the judging sheets have been corrected as noted in available documents. In September 2018, the vehicle was treated to a refresh in excess of $21,000 which included an overhaul or replacement of all major systems, key components and appearance items; receipts for which are included in the history file.Provenance is provided by way of the original tank sticker, Owner’s Manual with original owner’s maintenance notes, 2004 NCRS Regional Top Flight certificate judging sheets, receipts from the 2004 restoration and complete documentation of the freshening completed in September 2018 at Masterworks Corvette in Madison Heights, Michigan. Masterworks was founded by Werner Meier, a General Motors engineer/manager who spent over 25 years in the Corvette group and earned him admittance in the Corvette Hall of Fame and also an NCRS senior judge and group judge at the Concours D’Elegance of America. Regarded as one of the best in the world at Corvette judging and restoration, Werner restored dozens of notable Corvettes, some of which have been on display at the National Corvette Museum. Few people understand, or know how to, restore Corvettes as this man does.During restoration, only the highest quality rebuilt, N.O.S. or premium reproduction parts were used, and no unknown manufacturers were utilised as sources. In the latest restoration, the major systems of the car were replaced, overhauled or repaired including the intake manifold and removal of the oil pan and internals inspected. The compression check was very good with all cylinders registering between 108-116 psi on the 1st cycle, and 128-135 psi on the 3rd cycle. The oil pan, oil pan gaskets and rear main engine seal were replaced. Push rods, lifters, rocker arms, etc. were inspected and found to be in good condition.The transmission and rear axle were overhauled by a GM engineer and all parts found to be out-of-spec or visibly worn were replaced and the internal specs were checked and corrected. The factory specified rear axle ratio of 3.08:1 was changed to 3.36:1 during restoration (the speedo gear was also changed and is accurate to +1 mph) - this change allowed the vehicle to perform better than it did as new but can easily be returned to the original 3.08:1 ratio with little cost or effort. U-joints, driveshaft, axles were inspected, found to be in good condition and marked with appropriate paint.The brake system was extensively redone with new vacuum booster, master cylinder, master cylindercover (with bail tag), calipers, and pads. The fluid was replaced and discs were refaced. The carburettors were replaced with N.O.S. units with correct date codes, before fuel lines/blocks, linkage, cable, choke coil/cover and brackets were replaced.Key electrical components were replaced, the entire interior was removed and each assembly was then inspected and replaced if function or appearance were compromised before painted items received fresh paint. All key electrical switches were replaced and even the FM/AM radio, speakers, speaker wires, fresh air outlets replaced. The front and rear suspension was inspected, aligned and placed in spec and shocks were replaced. The tyres are correct reproduction from original moulds as red line bias-ply Sup-R-Belt - a rare option only available on late production cars.The paint and chrome appear factory new and gives the appearance of being dipped in a liquid coating. The panel fit is as original and we are informed there is no damage to body or trim and no missing trim.After the 2018 work this example was imported to the UK where in 2019 it gained a fresh NCRS Top Flight award, and in the face of much stricter criteria than in previous years it achieved an impressive overall score of 97.4 %. Offered with the dealer-installed accessory luggage rack together with a comprehensive history file, this Corvette gives an accurate impression of what the car would have looked like when new 50 years ago. With its impressive looks and performance, the quality of this car is targeted at the Corvette enthusiast who does not want to compromise on their investment but instead wants a verifiable, documented history of responsible ownership and restoration as befits one of America’s true sports cars.Ready for showing or just for recreational driving, opportunities to own such a desirable car are rare and the new owner would undoubtedly be the envy of every Corvette enthusiast.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1959 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:21934Despite having a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically modernised. A one-piece windscreen replaced the split screen and the wing line no longer dropped as much over the doors. The bonnet was widened, opened down to the wings and on the roadster, the bulkhead was moved back four inches to make the bonnet longer. In the interior, the XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced by one trimmed in leather and chrome. On the early drophead coupés, an aluminium centre dash panel with an ‘X’ pattern engraving was fitted which looked similar to the early 3.8 E-Type. It was discontinued after June 1958. The standard engine, the same as fitted to the XK140, was the 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight six rated at 180bhp at 5750rpm. These were high performance, well-appointed sports touring cars capable of 137mph and 0-60 in 7.8 seconds and could accomplish long distances with comfort and in great style.This superb Jaguar was manufactured in 1959 as a genuine UK registered right hand drive example. However it was built as a coupé and was professionally converted to a drophead coupé to exacting standards some years later. Mechanically, the car has also been sensibly modified; the engine upgraded to ‘S’ specification which is fuelled by a trio of two-inch SU carburettors. She also benefits from a high torque starter motor, twin fuel pumps, an alternator, high volume radiator and a stainless steel exhaust system. The gearbox is a five-speed Getrag unit and this is linked to an S-Type rear axle with a limited slip differential. To be expected, the brakes have been upgraded to four-pot Coopercraft front calipers and the suspension has adjustable Spax shock absorbers all round. Sitting proudly on 15” chrome wire wheels, perhaps the most significant upgrade is power steering making this XK150 a delight to drive. Finished in British Racing Green with magnolia interior and a tan hood, this delightful example is a joy to drive and will easily keep up with modern day traffic.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Triumph Vitesse Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:96000Introduced in May 1962, the Triumph Vitesse was a six-cylinder sports saloon based upon the four-cylinder powered Triumph Herald. Having designed the Herald, Giovanni Michelotti made revisions to the design evolving it into the Vitesse and resulting in the ‘slanted’ four-headlamp design.This is a superb example of one of the very first Vitesse convertibles with the ultra-rare single clock. We are informed this example has benefitted from significant expenditure and is referred to as a ‘go anywhere anytime classic’ and a Best in Show winning car on multiple occasions. Fitted with overdrive on third and fourth gears to ensure this example has no problem keeping up with modern traffic. Sitting on wire wheels with the sporty twin exhaust, this Vitesse has a concealed stereo and benefits from a new clutch. Our vendor has owned this car for over nine years and states that when not in use the car has always remained garaged away from the elements. This is quite possibly the very best example of this great British classic and we are informed a total pleasure to both own and drive.Guide Price £13,000 - £17,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III Coupé 2+2 Transmission: automaticMileage:87704There is no denying the legendary status that is enjoyed by the Jaguar E-Type, from its arrival on the motoring scene in 1961 until the final car was built in 1975, this sports car from Coventry had an impact that is still felt today. Even with its sportscar heritage, Jaguar depended on saloon vehicles for its survival and had developed its twelve-cylinder engine to power them with sufficient torque and refinement. Larger and softer in nature with weight redistributed 53/47, the Series III had lost the wilds of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile to which it was arguably better suited.Originally registered in July 1973, this 2+2 coupé presents well in Primrose Yellow with cream leather upholstery. This usable automatic example benefits from a Webasto sunroof and has been owned by the vendor since 2005. During her tenure this car has been used infrequently and always dry stored. The history file for this classic Coventry cat contains recent servicing work, a V5C registration document and, although exempt, a fresh MoT test certificate. Realistically estimated this Jaguar offers an opportunity to own a most iconic British classic.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III 2+2 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:76220By the mid-1960s, the Jaguar E-Type was appealing to the man with a young family but who were restricted by the size of the current Jaguar E-Type Coupé and its open topped sibling. This prompted Jaguar to offer a third option in the form of a 2+2 Coupé. By adding nine inches to the wheelbase and two inches in height, it was then possible to fit a rear seat capable of seating two adults in tolerable comfort. Of course the rear seat was more suited to children or, as 'The Motor' put it at the time, the car could 'extend Dad's youth for another seven years'. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that all we expected to try was a new engine but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car.Manufactured on 3rd March 1971, this E-Type was built as a left hand drive model and was intended to be sold in Italy. However as the Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms, this order was cancelled and the car remained with Jaguar Cars. The car appears to have undergone a colour change from light blue to British Racing Green and converted to right hand drive before it was finally despatched to Coombs in Guildford on 30th March 1973. Presenting now in very good order throughout, this E-Type starts on the button and runs exceedingly well; these long-legged tourers are ideal for a trip to the coast or to the South of France. With only four previous keepers, this Jaguar has clearly been very well cared for. The beige leather trim complements the exterior colour and she also has a full length Webasto sunroof. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a good history folder, this classically dynamic design is still a head turner. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2014 Renault Megane Renault Sport Trophy RS/S Transmission: manualMileage:1973Imagine a riot in four-wheeled form. While the regular Trophy already sports this car’s uprated 271bhp 2.0-litre turbo petrol and Akrapovic titanium exhaust, the R features expensive Öhlins adjustable dampers, exotic Allevard composite front springs and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres for extra handling. It is also almost 100kg lighter – so although Renault will let you option back the radio for £500 (the price including sat-nav for your trouble) that would be tangential to the spirit of the thing. The standard seats are also entirely absent – the fronts replaced by a gloriously focused pair of fixed-back Recaro buckets, the rears by a strut bar and shopping-saving storage nets. The Trophy-R is surprisingly refined at a cruise. Nail the accelerator, however, and like the R26.R before it, the combination of induction roar and Ti exhaust makes this incredibly distinctive scouring noise. Further popping and banging is also present and correct for all your tarmac rallying fantasy pleasure, the steering weight is meaty and accurate, and you get to change gear with a proper six-speed manual gearbox. Only 30 Trophy-Rs were offered for sale in the UK, out of a total production run of 250 – so it is rare as well as exceptionally rapid.

1991 Honda NSX Transmission: automaticMileage:34772The Honda NSX was produced between 1990 and 2005 and is equipped with a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive layout powered by an all-aluminium V6 featuring Honda's Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) system. In 1984, Honda commissioned the Italian car designer Pininfarina to design the HPX (Honda Pininfarina Experimental), which had a mid-mounted 2.0 litre, V6 configuration. Following Honda's decision to pursue the project, the management informed the engineers that the new car would have to be as good as anything coming from both Italy and Germany. The HPX concept car evolved into the NSX (New Sportscar experimental). The original performance target for the NSX was the Ferrari 328; subsequently revised to the 348 as the design neared completion. The bodywork design had been specifically researched after studying the 360° visibility inside an F-16 fighter jet. The car's strong chassis, rigidity and handling capabilities were the results of Ayrton Senna's input with NSX's chief engineers while testing the prototype car at Honda's Suzuka Circuit during the development stages. Today, the NSX is still considered by owners of the marque as one of the most reliable exotic cars ever manufactured with many examples comfortably exceeding 100,000 miles without serious reliability issues.This superb example is presented in black with a black leather and Alcantara interior which is in wonderful original condition. The car has covered only 34,772 Kms from new and is powered by the smooth 3.0 litre Honda engine which is mated to an automatic gearbox. The car was imported from Japan (as were many of these models) and has been lovingly looked after and lightly used ever since. It was purchased by the present owner in 2017 from a well-known garage in London. The car comes with its original Japanese history as well as a fully stamped service book from the UK and all MoT test certificates which confirms light and consistent use over the last few years. A recent service was carried out at a Honda main dealer which included a cambelt service. Its superb and totally relevant registration number is included with the car and it is fitted with a Global Telemetrics tracker which can be monitored via an app. This car is an appreciating classic that can be driven every day, without the problems associated with many classic sports cars. Equally capable of being driven from home to the shops on a Sunday morning, or a blast down to the South of France. The car has also recently undergone a meticulous and thorough detailing, which has resulted in it looking absolutely stunning throughout.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster (3.8 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:41419Introduced in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation when it appeared with its instantly classic lines and 150mph top speed. While, inevitably, the car's stupendous straight-line performance and gorgeous looks grabbed the headlines, there was a lot more to the E-Type beneath the skin. The newcomer's design owed much to that of the racing D-Type and, indeed, the E-Type would be one of the last great sports cars developed directly from a successful competition ancestor. Just as in the D-Type, a monocoque tub formed the main body/chassis structure while a tubular space frame extended forwards to support the engine. The latter was the same 3.8 litre, triple-carburettor, 'S' unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150. With a claimed 265 horsepower on tap, the E-Type's performance did not disappoint. Mainly because it weighed around 500lb less than the XK150 but also, because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used experience gained with the D-Type to create one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motor car.Delivered new in 1963, this wonderful matching numbers example is finished in the very elegant colour combination of British Racing Green over a tan leather interior and comes complete with the desirable factory hardtop. Presented in its original left hand drive guise, this E-Type is fitted with an aluminium dashboard and centre console. Professionally restored by marque specialists it has undergone a full bare metal respray as well as a complete interior retrim, including a new hood and, consequently, presents fabulously. During the restoration, this Jaguar was treated to an engine, gearbox, and rear differential rebuild undertaken by Rushton Engineering Ltd and as such is in very good order throughout. This very well-presented example comes complete with a history file detailing the restoration, many sundry invoices and the current UK registration document. The perfect candidate for those long-distance continental tours or that summer trip to the south of France.  Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2009 Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk. 5 Transmission: automaticMileage:The Volkswagen Golf Mk. 5 was the fifth generation of the Volkswagen Golf and the successor to the Mk. 4. Sharing the Volkswagen Group A5 platform, it debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in October 2003 and went on sale in Europe one month later. The Golf Mk. 5 was replaced in 2009 with the Mk. 6. The GTI comes with VW's four-cylinder 2.0L Turbo engine (FSI) which gives it 197 bhp. Transmissions include a six-speed manual or six-speed DSG. The Mk. 5 is now regarded as probably the best incarnation of the legendary GTi after the original Mk. 1 of 1976-1983 and is fast acquiring modern classic status.This superb, very low mileage, one owner from new example of this iconic German ‘hot hatch’ is presented in white with grey GTi check cloth interior. It comes with electric windows, air conditioning and full Volkswagen service history with no fewer than 11 stamps in the service book. Its lively 2.0 litre turbo engine is mated to a six speed automatic DSG gearbox which provides great performance as one would expect from such a car. This is a practical sports hot hatch with five doors, with such incredibly low mileage and in this condition, it is surely one of best on the market today.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1990 Aston Martin Virage Transmission: manualMileage:38000Introduced at the 1988 Birmingham Motor Show, the Virage was Aston Martin’s replacement for the decades old V8 models. The Virage was launched as the top of the range car for Aston Martin. It is easy to see why this handbuilt, all aluminium V8 was king of the Astons. The 32 valve, 5.3 litre engine elevated the performance of the Virage to near sports car level. It was stated by Sports Car International on an early test that 'acceleration just never seems to run out' and they also praised 'the eager and quicker revving' nature of the engine, with its Callaway designed heads and Weber-Marelli fuel injection. They concluded that 'nothing sounds quite like an Aston V8'. This handsome Aston Martin Virage presents extremely well in British Racing Green over a cream leather interior and benefits from much renovation work over the years. More recently the car has been treated to an extensive engine rebuild and a front end rebuild including suspension components. Upgraded 18” alloy wheels have also been fitted and are shod with new tyres all round. The paintwork and interior are both in good order showing little sign of age and the engine sounds fantastic when on song. The history file that accompanies the car includes various sundry invoices, previous MoT test certificates and a UK registration document.These cars regularly require deep pockets when it comes to maintenance but this example having had a fortune spent on it is in very good order and we are sure will bring a lot of enjoyment for the new owner.Interested parties should note that the private registration plate shown is to be retained by the vendor and a new, age-related registration issued instead.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2004 Bentley Continental GT Transmission: automaticMileage:85000Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2003, the first-generation Continental GT differed from previous incarnations due to it no longer being a coachbuilt car. However, as a result, the price at launch was significantly less than the Continental R (approximately half) which exposed the car to a much wider customer base. Despite the lower price however, the new GT was still roundly well received with celebrities, sports personalities alike buying in droves due to the six litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine with 552bhp coupled to opulent surroundings and an ultra comfortable ride. After all, this was designed to be a mile crunching continent cruiser and with that huge W12 engine coupled to a smooth six-speed automatic box distributed by the Quattro four-wheel drive system, it was equally at home in Mayfair as it was on the Autobahn where it was capable of an astonishing 196mph and a 0-60 time of just 4.7 seconds. The Continental offered the most comfortable way of reaching supercar speeds and, still to this day, is a fabulously capable GT.This example of an early GT is presented in Sapphire Blue over a cream hide interior and is finished with burr walnut wood trim. This Bentley boasts massage and heated front seats with electric memory, satellite navigation, electric folding mirrors and 19” alloy wheels. Offered with a stamped service history booklet, the last of which completed at circa 85,000 miles. Accompanying the Continental is an MoT test certificate valid until January 2022, various sundry invoices and the current V5 registration document. Continental GT's are incredible value for money and combine opulence with speed like no other, this example is without doubt very well priced and could represent fabulous value for money.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Jaguar SS100 by Suffolk Engineering Transmission: manualMileage:9941The SS100 was built between 1936 and 1940 by SS Cars Ltd of Coventry, England. The nomenclature was to reflect the theoretical 100mph maximum speed and once approved by Sir William Lyons, the name 'Jaguar' was given to a new saloon version in 1936. Widely considered to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing Jaguar cars ever built, it is also one of the rarest with only 198 of the 2.5 litre and 116 of the 3.5 litre models being manufactured. Most stayed on the home market but 49 were exported. Cars in good condition will now regularly fetch in excess of £300,000. It is of little surprise, rather like its later stable mates, the C and D-Type, that those of us of a more impecunious persuasion looked for an alternative and a number of boutique car manufacturers then set about to feed this demand, supplying good quality recreations at a fraction of the cost of a real one.Built in 2006, this totally accurate recreation of the 1938 Jaguar SS100 is finished in Old English White with Connolly leather in Claret Dark Red with dark red Wilton carpets and sitting on 72 spoke stove, enamelled in Rosso Alfa Red, wheels fitted with Blockley high performance tyres. The engine is a Jaguar XK 3.8 litre engine fully remanufactured by VSE with a manual four speed with overdrive gearbox. Boasting balanced internals and fitted with lightened flywheel, twin 1 7/8-inch SU HIF carburettors, polished E-Type smooth cam covers engine fan and electric fan.When reimagined by Suffolk Sports Cars the rebuilt engine ancillaries included starter motor, alternator, distributor, water pump and a twin pipe stainless steel exhaust system being fitted. Also fitted were disc brakes, all as new, with adjustable shock absorbers on a six coil-spring suspension system, rack and pinion steering before finishing off with a louvered alloy bonnet.Offered with the side screens, tonneau cover, hood bag and fitted hood in double duck and with a heater and fan, this car is equally adept in inclement conditions. Supplied with the car is the history file which includes the build sheet and supplying invoice from Suffolk Sports Cars who also serviced the car. Registered as a 1963 Jaguar (Historic Vehicle) this is a superb example in condition tantamount to one having just been finished by Suffolk and with the value of the original cars soaring, great value for money.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Fiat 500 Cabriolet Transmission: manualMileage:8900The Fiat 500 was produced between 1957 and 1975 with limited production of the Fiat 500 K Estate continuing until 1977. Despite its diminutive size, the 500 proved to be an enormously practical and popular car throughout Europe capturing the hearts and minds of the public. Launched as the Nuova 500, it was marketed as a cheap and practical town car. They only measured three metres long and were originally powered by a tiny 479cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 redefined the term 'small car' and is considered one of the first city cars.On a kilo for kilo basis, this fabulous little Fiat 500 Supern convertible must be about as much fun as any car can be and perfect for the small streets and summer motoring. A showstopper that the vendor informs brings people out of shops and restaurants to take pictures and elicits waves from just about every passing car. Finished in beautiful unmarked yellow paintwork, we are informed this car has been fastidiously rebuilt with the engine sporting 695cc and an exhaust note to turn heads. The conversion by Supern was carried out in Germany and coupled to a total engine rebuild with new pistons, sports camshaft, electronic ignition, reinforced driveshafts and disc brakes to ensure the lively performance is kept in check. This car is unique and will certainly be the centre of attention, no matter the Ferraris and McLaren’s are parked alongside. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1988 Jaguar XJRS Le Mans Coupé Transmission: automaticMileage:22944The Jaguar XJS design, codenamed XJ27, started around 1965 with the first production car being sold in 1975. It was primarily designed by Malcolm Sayer with input and control from Sir William Lyons. Although the public assumed the Jaguar XJS was a successor to the very popular E-Type it was in fact intended to be very different. It would be comfortable and luxurious, less a sports car than a sports tourer. This allowed it to use the same suspension layout as the recently introduced and supremely cosseting Jaguar XJ6. Externally the Jaguar XJS is most noticeable for its ‘flying buttresses’, sweeping from the top of the rear roofline down to the rear of the wings. It also gave the quite large Jaguar XJS an excellent drag coefficient, better than the E-Type and allowing the XJS easily to attain over 150mphThis stunning, limited edition, XJRS was originally registered on 25th August 1988 and is a bespoke model produced by JaguarSport and Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) Group to commemorate the marques triumph at Le Mans in 1988. Only 100 examples were built, this is number 22 and appears to be in original condition. Finished in Tungsten metallic with a cream Connolly leather interior, a burr walnut dashboard and sitting on the correct 15” JaguarSport alloy wheels. Standard equipment on these luxurious grand tourers includes electric seats with lumbar support, air conditioning and cruise control. This example is fitted with an original trip computer and Jaguar radio system. This extremely low mileage example is still sporting the original coachlines bearing the 1988 race winning XJR-9, this is a great indication of originality. The car is supplied with a V5C registration document showing only one previous keeper and an MoT test certificate valid until July 2021.The car has benefitted from a recent service and the rebuilding of the brake calipers. Given the mileage, condition and low ownership, this is a tremendous opportunity to purchase such a rare and well-preserved piece of Jaguar and TWR motoring history.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Citroën SM Transmission: automaticMileage:62072In 1961, Citroën began work on 'Project S', a sports variant of the revolutionary Citroën DS. As was customary for the firm, many running concept vehicles were developed, increasingly complex and upmarket from the DS. Citroën purchased Maserati in 1968 with the intention of harnessing Maserati's high-performance V6 engine technology to produce a true Gran Turismo car combining the sophisticated Citroën suspension. The result was the Citroën SM, first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1970 and which went on sale in France in September of that year. Factory produced cars were all left hand drive, although right hand conversions were available in the UK and Australia. The origin of the model name 'SM' is not completely clear. The 'S' may derive from the Project 'S' designation and the 'M' perhaps refers to Maserati, hence SM is often assumed to stand for ‘Systeme Maserati’ or ‘Sports Maserati’.This Citroën Maserati SM is in delightful condition, the gold paintwork is in good order and is complemented with a tobacco leather interior. The fastidious vendor has advised us that this impressive Citroën drives extremely well. He also informs us that on one of the cars first outing under his tenure which was to a Citroën X rally at Burghley House his stunning example was awarded ‘Best of Show’, and he only went for a day trip! The file for this SM contains various servicing bills and shows that in 2016 the interior carpets were completely replaced. To drive a Citroën Maserati SM is a memorable experience, power, comfort and prestige all in one package and LAF 875L is no exception. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, interested parties are advised to inspect this Citroën to ascertain for themselves the fantastic value of this iconic car. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1974 Citroën DS 23 Safari Transmission: automaticMileage:55000After 18 years of secret development, the DS19 was introduced on 5th October 1955 at the Paris Motor Show. In the first 15 minutes of the show, 743 orders were taken and orders for the first day totalled 12,000 cars. To a France still deep in reconstruction after the devastation of World War II, the DS was a symbol of French ingenuity. It was the first mass-production car with front power disc brakes. It also featured hydro pneumatic suspension including an automatic self-levelling system, variable ground clearance, power-steering, a semi-automatic transmission and a fibreglass roof which reduced weight. It also sported inboard front brakes as well as independent suspension. Despite the rather leisurely acceleration afforded by its four-cylinder engine, the DS was successful in motorsports like rallying, where sustained speeds on poor surfaces are paramount. It won the Monte-Carlo Rally in 1959 and, controversially in 1966, after the disqualification of the BMC Mini-Cooper team. The Citroën DS placed fifth on Automobile Magazine's '100 Coolest Cars' listing in 2005. It was also named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine after a poll of 20 world-renowned car designers.Originally registered on 19th August 1974, this right hand drive Citroën presents in splendid condition. The 2347cc engine runs well, this mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. These larger engine DS’s are delightful to drive offering a good performance and a ride that is difficult to surpass. The Safari offers a significant load space as well as being very stylish. Supplied with a V5C registration document, these Citroëns are an automotive masterpiece, offering beauty, functionality, and practicality all in one. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1954 Riley RME Transmission: manualMileage:404Despite producing some fine small saloons and sporting cars while carving out an enviable competition record for itself during the early 1930s, Riley had lost its battle to remain independent and was part of the Nuffield Organisation by the decade’s end. Rileys of the immediate post-war years were, nevertheless, recognisably products of the ‘old firm’. Most popular of these was the 1.5 litre RMA sports saloon, which came with torsion bar independent front suspension, hydro-mechanical brakes and Riley’s classic twin-camshaft, overhead-valve engine in four-cylinder guise. An improved version, the RME, with fully hydraulic brakes - appeared in 1952 and continued in production until 1955.This lovely example of this British classic is presented in black over ivory with tan leather interior. The car was purchased by the present owner in 2007 from a lady owner who had the car stored in a barn for many years. The car was then fully restored by the renown classic car restorer, Michael Hibberd Motor Engineers. The engine and chassis were rebuilt and a full body restoration was carried out also. The car was painted, new carpets and headlining were installed, all the woodwork was restored and a new stainless steel exhaust system was fitted. This wonderful classic Riley comes with a lovely history including original manuals, toolkit and parts invoices. A delightful classic in great condition which is ready to be enjoyed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1958 Jaguar Mk. I (3.4 litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:52500Launched in 1955, the Mk. I extended Jaguar's domination of the high-performance car market in Britain, slotting neatly into the Coventry firm's range alongside the big Mk. VII M saloon and the XK140 sports car. The medium size newcomer broke new ground for Jaguar, being its first model to employ unitary construction of the chassis/body. Jaguar's engineers were understandably cautious in their approach, making the bodyshell stronger than in fact it needed to be and employing rubber mountings just about everywhere to insulate occupants from vibration and noise. The Mk. I was released with a new, short stroke, 2.4-litre version of the proven XK 'six', but demands for more power, especially from American customers, prompted the introduction of the 3.4-litre version early in 1957. With 190bhp on tap the 3.4-litre Mk. I was good for a top speed of 120mph and could reach 60mph in nine seconds, though if used to the full, this greatly improved performance severely taxed the drum brakes. All-round disc brakes were hurriedly announced as an option, becoming an almost universal fitting thereafter. The Mk. I was progressively updated throughout its life before a wholesale revision of the basic design saw it re-launched as the Mk. II in October 1959.This lovely example is presented in Sherwood Green (repainted in 2016) with its original tan leather interior (re-Connollised), new door cards and carpets and comes with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate confirming that it is a full matching numbers car which is all important. The car was the subject of a major professional ground up body restoration, approximately costing £20,000, with new inner and outer sills fitted in 2016. Its wonderful interior is complimented by its woodwork which typically shows off all that was luxurious with Jaguar motor cars and its smooth six-cylinder 3.4 litre engine is mated to an automatic gearbox. This car has been the subject of some considerable work over the last four years and with its colour coded spoke wheels matching its superb bodywork colour, this example really is one of the finest available. In 2016, the car had its disc brake system rebuilt, complete re-wire with new wiring loom. In 2020, the engine was rebuilt with all new bearings, rebuilt SU carburettors, fuel pump, piston rings, timing gear and oil pump. This wonderful example comes with its original Jaguar workshop manual and spares book is on its original UK registration.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1951 Bentley Mk. VI Transmission: manualMileage:34237The Mk. VI four-door standard steel sports saloon was the first post-war luxury car from Bentley. Announced in May 1946 and produced from 1946 to 1952, it was also the first car from Rolls-Royce with all-steel coachwork and the first complete car assembled and finished at their factory. These very expensive cars were a genuine success. These models had a shorter wheelbase chassis and the engine was a variant of the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith of 1946 and, with the same standard steel body, became the cautiously introduced Silver Dawn of 1949. In 1952, both Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn and Bentley Mk. VI standard steel bodies were modified to incorporate a boot of about twice the size and the result became known as the R-Type Bentley. Mk. VI engines and chassis were modified to provide higher performance and sold to be bodied by selected coachbuilders as the first Bentley Continentals.This 1951 manufactured Bentley is finished in green with a beige leather interior. We are advised this right hand drive example runs well although the brakes are a bit sticky after the car has been standing for a while. Clearly some recommissioning is required but these handsome Bentleys are becoming increasingly popular and are well worth the time and investment. The car is supplied with a NOVA certificate for the new owner to register the car in the UK if required.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1966 Jaguar S-Type (3.4 litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:Produced from 1963 to 1968, the Jaguar S-Type was technically a more sophisticated development of the Jaguar Mk. II, offering buyers a more luxurious alternative. It was available with either 3.4 or 3.8 litre XK engines and featured longer rear bodywork among other styling and interior changes. Despite its extra weight, the S-Type's independent rear suspension allowed it to corner faster than the Mk. II, especially on uneven surfaces, providing better traction and a much smoother ride for rear seat passengers with the consensus that the S-Type offered significant improvements over the Mk. II in road holding, safety and ride comfort. It was described as 'a convenient family car, a businessman's express, a sports coupé and a grand tourer.'The file for this Jaguar S-Type contains pictures showing the car in all its glory following, what appears to have been, a previous comprehensive restoration. The colour of the car is the classic combination of red with a beige leather interior. This 3.4 litre Jaguar does not run and requires attention but shows tremendous potential. Originally registered in February 1966, the DVLA website shows this car has only having two owners in its 54 years. This Jaguar is offered without reserve and the potential of a stunning car.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

 AN IMPORTANT POCKET JOURNAL FROM 1870/71 RELATING TO CLAPHAM ROVERS, THE HISTORIC SPORTS CLUB, WITH HANDWRITTEN ENTRIES BY REG BIRKETT (1849-1898)Reg Birkett documents matches played in season 1870/71 by Clapham Rovers, revealing the chaotic nature of Victorian sport as players juggled between Rugby football and Association football. The 1870/71 season was crucial to the future of both sports. The journal with leather hardcover & lined paper, 15.5 x 10.5cms. in excellent condition. Entries in handwritten ink and newspaper reports. To accompany, a photocopy of the Rugby Football Union First General Meeting, 1871. The  1st page within the journal inscribed ‘Clapham Cricket Club Matches, 1867’ then 20 or so pages with opposing cricket clubs to be played against by Clapham, together with players for the fixture, and location of venue. From page 24- 34 these fixtures are repeated in much the same way, except with comments as to the outcome of the match. There also some changes to the previously selected players. We do not believe this part of the journal involved Reg Birkett.Entries relating to Clapham Rovers begin on P.38, as follows;‘Clapham Rovers / foot-ball club / Captain – R H Birkett / Committee – A Nash, J Field, A W French, E Field, E C Lygath (?), W R Bryden, A Luzzer (?) / Secretary & Treasurer W E Rawlinson / Season 1870-71’.The next pages lists the ‘Addresses of secretaries not on the foot-ball association’ with addresses for the following representatives / Sydenham – R W Abbott / Hornsey – E N Alfie (?) / Lausanne – F H Moore (?)  / Mohicans – Geo Ellis (?) / Harlequins – E Ellice Clark /Brighton -  Walter Foster (?) /Barnes – Walter Powell’ The next entries are ‘Members Playing Rugby Rules’ with R, P & L (Reg, Percival and Louis) Birkett at the top. Then following this is a list of ‘Association Rules’ with R & P Birkett as the second entries on the list.Then ‘A good Association team to play against first rate club like Charterhouse & Wanderers’ with Reg Birkett at top of this page suggesting he would be the first on the team-sheet if all available.   Evidently Reg is now club-captain so receives the journal and the remaining pages are handwritten by the 21-year-old.  Each page Reg includes a match fixture, the venue, Rovers’ selected players, and the outcome of match with comments, usually with a cut-out newspaper report. The matches are divided using ‘rugby’ rules and using ‘association rules’. 42 fixtures entered, 22 for the Rugby fashion, the remainder for Association code. Note that some of these entries were not played. Reg Birkett was in the team for 27 matches, mostly as captain (top of team-list). Many of the opponents were inaugural members of the 1st Rugby Union, ie. Richmond, Gipsies, Harlequins, Ravenscourt Park, Lausanne, Civil Service, Marlborough Nomads & Mohicans. There is evidence of the frustrations of acting as club captain during this period - many of the fixture dates having the two codes played on the same day. Adding to Reg’s problems would have been that 13 matches were called off (the winter of ‘70/71 was cold). Two other fixtures were called off as one of the sides could not raise the numbers. While on Feb’ 18th, with resonance to present times, a clash against Wimbledon was off ‘on account of vaccination’ (likely to be smallpox vaccination). The 1870 / 71 season was a critical season for the future of ‘foot-ball’ and especially that in the Rugby School tradition. Rugby until 1871 had been played to various rules. But in 1870 Edwin H Ash, secretary of Richmond Football Club wrote a letter to the newspapers stating, ‘those who play the Rugby-type game should meet to form a code of practice, as various clubs play to rules which differ from others, which makes the game difficult to play.’ So, 32 members of London and suburban football clubs gathered on the evening of 26th January, 1871, in the Pall Mall Restaurant, London, ‘to codify the rules of the game and to provide a central governing body.’ At this meeting, presided over by Edward Carleton Holmes (captain of Richmond Football Club) the RFU was founded. The meeting was held halfway through Reg’s journal, so it is not inconceivable that the pocket-journal was present in Reg’s breast pocket as the Rugby Union was formed.Laws were drafted, a secretary and a president were elected together with a committee of thirteen gentlemen including Reg Birkett of Clapham. Two months later, Reg Birkett was playing in the world’s 1st International Rugby match between England & Scotland at Raeburn Place, Edinburgh, scoring the 1st ever Rugby International try. It was one of four International rugby matches that Reg played in. The 1870 /1871 foot-ball season also saw the first three internationals according to Association rules, played at Oval, London. It was a seminal year - Rugby Union was born, the sport formalised, and International matches of football and Rugby commenced their 150 year history.Reg was born in 1849, he was the son of a surgeon, his brother’s Percival and Louis were also players at Rovers and are in many of the selections. Louis also played rugby for England. Reg was educated at William Jacob’s School, then Lancing College where he learned both foot-ball codes. His switching between the two codes continued at Lancing Old Boys and then Clapham. He also represented Surrey FC.Six years after scoring the first ever try in the first ever Rugby International, Reg Birkett was goalkeeper for Clapham in the 8th FA Cup Final v Old Etonians at The Oval (1879), which Clapham lost. A year later in 1880, Clapham Rovers were FA Cup Winners with Reg again goalkeeper, they beat Oxford University AFC, 1-0. Reg Birkett was now an FA Cup Winner.The comprehensive nature of Reg’s journal reveals a great deal about Reg’s character. Evidently, he was committed to both codes, perhaps knowing there could be exciting times ahead, as both sports were maturing in this age of change. Reg died at 49, when, suffering from diphtheria he leapt from a window of his home. A verdict of suicide whilst delirious was returned.Reg Birkett left his mark:-Scorer of first try in the first rugby international. -FA Cup winner and International association player-Committee member of the inaugural Rugby Union. -Association’s special sub-committee member to draw up the rules for the FA Cup competition-England selector for Association. - One of only three players to represent England in rugby and footballEvidently Reg Birkett was highly influential in the two sports which today give millions of people pleasure and generate billions in the sporting economy.The journal also represents the last days of a confusing relationship between our national sports before their eternal separation.Provenance: the Birkett Sporting Archive from the great-great grandsons of Reg Birkett, see our digital catalogue for this collection with further images here https://bit.ly/2PixOMn

ENGLAND INTERNATIONAL RUGBY UNION JERSEY WORN BY JOHN GUY GILBERNE BIRKETT (1884-1967) believed be his ‘International career jersey’ and worn on the Harlequins player’s England debut, versus Scotland in the Calcutta Cup match of 1906The jersey in traditional all white with fine cotton collars and with felt rectangular patch stitched to chest having a finely embroidered red, maroon, and pink English rose with two tone green and brown stems with five leaves. The sleeves are in the three-quarter length style for the England team during that period, two original buttons remain intact and there is a stitched name label to the inside of collar ‘JOHN BIRKETT’.As with the John Birkett’s England cap (Lot 574) the jersey is in super condition without notable damage. Please see Lot 574 John Birkett’s associated England cap in this auction with regards to John Birkett’s playing career, records, and achievements which include being the top try scorer and most England caps gained, the first try scorer at Twickenham and winner of the inaugural 5 Nations Championship in 1910. In this early period of International Rugby Union, players were expected to retain their jerseys for matches, even after players returned to International duty from a 4–5-year hiatus of military duty in World War 1. The English Rose badges at the time were individually embroidered for each player with differences in detail. Lot 578 in this auction is an album containing John Birkett’s England team photographs. In his debut photograph in 1906 against Scotland, one can see through a magnifying glass that the different tones of black and grey on the stem and leaves match the emblem on the jersey, proportions seem to be correct as does the angle of the stem and rose. John Birkett did play in other jerseys which can be seen in the team photographs, but we believe this to be his debut jersey and used on several England appearances. Copy of the 1906 photograph shown with this description but is not part of this lot.Auctioneer’s Note:Making his debut with Birkett in 1906 versus Scotland was James ‘Jimmy’ Peters who was the first black rugby player to represent England, and the only black player until 1988. Also playing for England was Belgian John Raphael, part of a millionaire banking family, who also played first class cricket and was killed in his home-country in 1917 during the Battle of Messines. While Adrian Stoop, the legendary Harlequins whom which their ground ‘The Stoop’ is named after played at half-back. The captain was V H Cartwright who was president of the RFU in 1928/29. In the Scottish line-up was Kenneth Grant McLeod, who was inducted into the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame for his all-round sporting ability, winning 9 caps for Scotland while also playing for Manchester City FC, cricket for Lancashire and was a successful golfer too. Also in the Sottish team was British Lions captain David Bedell-Sivright who was killed during the Gallipoli campaign.The match was played at Inverleith, Edinburgh on the 17th March, 1906, watched by some 20,000 spectators. Against expectations, after a terrible losing streak of six matches, England were the victors 9 points to 3 (3 tries to one). The victory was despite England’s forward Simpson not completing the match due to injury sustained in scoring the winning try. Newspapers including ‘The Referee’ commended the English Selection Committee and bringing in John Birkett for his debut, while The Daily Mail wrote ‘Birkett, the young Harlequins centre, whose claims to international honours have been advocated throughout the season, showed himself to be possessed of rare judgment and a considerable amount of pace; he had a hand in the obtaining of all the three tries scored by his side’. The reports of Birkett’s debut being a glorious success continued in The Morning Post, The Field and other newspapers.Provenance: the vendors of the Birkett Sporting Archive are the great grandsons of J G G Birkett (1884-1967), and the great-great-grandsons of Reg BirkettSee our digital catalogue for this collection with further images here https://bit.ly/2PixOMn
