Louis Constant Wairy, Napoleon's valet, remarks in his memoirs of the Empress that her '...hair was strong, beautiful, long and silky; its light chestnut hue blended admirably with that of her skin, dazzling with finesse and freshness. At the beginning of his supreme power, the empress still liked to do her hair in the morning with a red madras that gave her the look of Creole, the hottest to have' (Mémoires de Constant, premier valet de chambre de l'empereur, sur la vie privée de Napoléon, sa famille et sa cour, 1830). Doctor Barry O'Meara, Napoleon's doctor on St. Helena, noted during his visit on 5th March 1817: 'On my return from Longwood, I found Napoleon in very different spirits from yesterday. He was reclining on his sofa, in a very positive attitude, his head resting upon one of his hands, and apparently melancholy. His morning gown was on, a Madras round his head and his beard unshaved' (Barry O'Meara, Napoleon in Exile or A Voice from St. Helena, 1822). General Montholon, remarked on 13 April 1821 during the Emperor's illness '...the night was not so good, possibly because of the heavy sweating. Seven times I changed the Emperor, and each time flanelle and linen were soaked, until the madras of which he surrounds his head. These linen changes are very difficult to do without making him impatient, because he does not want to; no light in his room, there is only one candle in the next room, and that's the weakest glow of this light that I need, not to give it, but to give it everything it needs, even tie the madras on his head.'This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1929 Ford Model A RoadsterReg. no. BF 5120Chassis no. t.b.a.Engine no. t.b.a.Henry Ford was, for many years, convinced that his ground-breaking Model T was the only car the world would ever need. It was indeed an excellent car – 15 million being sold in its 21-year production run, a record for a single model that stood for many years. By the mid-1920s, however, it was becoming obvious that the T’s days were numbered. Newer models from other manufacturers were now faster and easier to drive, with convenient features such as electric starters, which Henry Ford disliked, making the T seem outdated. After much pressure from both Ford’s sales staff and his son Edsel, Henry finally relented and allowed the development of a successor. The resulting design – largely Edsel’s work – was a much more conventional car, with a standard gearbox instead of the T’s epicyclic unit, and various features that by that time were commonplace on its competitors, four-wheel-brakes and an electric starter, for example. So different in concept was the new car that Ford decided to give it a clean-slate name – instead of the Model U, it was the Model A, representing just how big a step this was for the company. After nearly a year’s break in Ford production while the factories retooled for the A, the new car went on sale in December 1927. Dispelling any worries Henry might have had, the A sold extremely well, with nearly 5 million produced by the time production ended in March 1931.BF 5120 was imported from the USA in 2009, previous to which the car had been campaigned widely in Indiana, Texas and Arizona. This Roadster example was purchased by the current owner in December 2013 and he has regularly driven it between Walton-on-Thames, Surrey on a 200-mile round camping trip to the VSCC Hill Climb at Prescott, Gloucestershire. Sadly, due to lack of space and other projects, this Ford is now ready for new adventures. This Model A runs well and keeps pace with modern traffic, no mean feat for a 92-year-old car, even being driven to our premises, we are told cruising at 55-60mph on the motorway. Now fitted with the sensible upgrade of a modern alternator this highly useable vintage car is offered with a V5C.
