On offer from a private Collection, this Immaculately restored Morris Mini Pick-Up is about as good as you will ever find.Introduced in January 1961, the Mini Pick-Up was based around the same stretched platform as its Panel Van sibling. Similarly exempt from sales tax as a commercial vehicle, it sported a pressed steel grille, sliding windows and external door hinges throughout its 22-year production life. Initially powered by an 848cc four-cylinder, it could be specified with the more powerful 998cc engine from1967 onwards (both A-series units being mated to the same 4-speed manual transmission). Benefiting from a 4"-longer wheelbase, taller rear suspension turrets and underfloor fuel tanks, the Pick-Up/Panel Van derivatives were arguably even more fun to drive than their saloon equivalents. Mini became a standalone brand during October 1969, with parent company, British Leyland, dropping the compact saloon and its derivatives from the Austin and Morris ranges, a change signified by simplified badging and a new logo. The otherwise unchanged Pick-Up could still be had in 850 or 1,000 guises.Dating from 26th February 1962, this pretty little Morris Mini Pick-Up found it's way into the hands of our vendor in January 2011 and underwent a comprehensive and meticulous nut and bolt restoration, leaving no detail overlooked. Now very smartly-presented in Willow Green with black trim, it retains its original 848cc engine and 4-speed gearbox, and can truly be described as excellent in every area, one of the best we have ever seen. Part of our vendor's significant Collection, it's kept safe and dry, regularly maintained, with a small history file including the Heritage Trust Certificate, and used for a bit of fun and the occasional trip to Goodwood.For collectors and enthusiasts alike, 6396 MU presents a golden opportunity to acquire a meticulously restored 1960s classic, offering more than its fair share of nostalgia.SpecificationMake: MORRISModel: MINIYear: 1962Chassis Number: MAV4217735Registration Number: 6396 MUTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 197961 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 6365 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

An incredibly accurate tribute to the 1966/7 Works Rally Cars from almost 25-years of care.Having followed the exploits of Paddy Hopkirk, Henry Liddon, Rauno Aaltonen and Tony Ambrose in their little red and white Mini Coopers during the mid-1960s, our vendor grew up wanting a 1275 S for longer than he could remember. The Works Cooper S Monte Carlo victory of Makinen and Easter in 1965 set the seal on it, and nothing else would do until he was the proud owner of a proper 1275 S.His first Mini was a nearly-new Mini Deluxe, but the prohibitive cost of a Cooper S, at the time, ruled it out. Until one day, he acquired LTV 444F, a one-owner car back in 1989 that was in a serious state of disrepair, essentially a rolling shell. The plan was to create a 'Works tribute' with the intention of doing a bit of rallying. Plan A was to paint it Tartan Red and Old English White and do a quick job, however, 'the best laid plans of mice and men' and all that meant that Plan B or perhaps a bit further down the alphabet was the reality when he realised quite how much needed to be done. The car was almost complete, however it was mostly in boxes. There were a good number of parts missing and this is where the timeframe simply got away.Off it went to RestoraSports, his local specialists, for a full restoration, welding and painting and so on, but they were professionals and enthusiasts, and it was decided by all concerned that they should do it properly. Stripped to the bare metal, the shell was seam-welded, as per the original works cars, to build the structural integrity. The engine was rebuilt by Dave Palmer, likewise the suspension and drivetrain. A straight-cut box was purchased complete and the dry suspension maintained. Our client had gradually realised during the early 1990s that he was becoming disinclined to actually rally the car as it meant too much to him and had become a labour of love, and rally cars have a hard life and bump into things, so the decision was taken to transform LTV into the very best Works Replica he could create. Acquiring parts was to prove difficult, of course, as many parts had been tailor-made for the original cars. The original engine is still fitted, but its now been taken out to 1,310cc and has a Richard Longman 12G940 head. With compression ratio of 11.5:1, its important to be careful about the fuel used.An Autospark wiring loom of the works-type was located and fitted and period-correct harnesses were sourced with aircraft buckles of the type in the works cars. Likewise, twin Heuer clocks and a Halda Twinmaster were acquired at a substantial cost even then, and if you could find them now they may cost £5,000 or more alone. The dashboard in Works cars was padded to prevent distractions when driving at night, likewise here and the small frame above the steering wheel to contain driver’s notes is replicated. Many an expert has been fooled by just how well put together this tribute is, even some drivers of a similar vintage. Parts were acquired over a long period of time by our vendor, never willing to compromise, he simply waited to find the right part rather than making do. Who knows where you would find a set of original BMC mud flaps? The replication of every detail of the factory cars is remarkable, perhaps even a little obsessive, but the end result was absolutely worth it. 13-years later, the car was almost ready, but our vendor couldn't bring himself to put it at risk, and so it has simply been cherished ever since. First running and shown in 2002, this tribute is a remarkable testament to the ingenuity and determination of one man. LTV 444F has a BMIHT Heritage Certificate and is supplied with a substantial quantity of invoices and correspondence from the last 30-yearsGiven that Works cars now command prices well in excess of £150,000, this remarkable tribute is offered at a guide so inviting, that anyone who ever wanted to be Paddy Hopkirk, Rauno Aaltonen. Timo Makinen or Tony Fall might be tempted to acquire this one, whether for their own Collection or to enjoy occasionally on club road rallies or regularity runs.SpecificationMake: MINIModel: COOPER SYear: 1967Chassis Number: CA2571046916ARegistration Number: LTV 444FTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 9FSAY46622 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: GreyClick here for more details and images
Lot 701
The Professionals Capris are offered as a pair and as one Lot in recognition of their cultural significance and historical importance.By the mid-1970s, most of the flamboyant British spy shows had been decommissioned in favour of grittier crime-action dramas filmed on location with live action car chases. The Sweeney’s debut in 1975 set the standard for real life action-dramas, pubs replaced casinos, gone were exaggerated karate chops and rep-mobile saloons screeched around grimy street corners. British police departments didn’t issue Aston Martins, and few blue-collar sports coupés were affordable or reliable enough to be featured regularly. The producer and screen writer, Brian Clemens, who was behind the definitive British spy series , The Avengers, back in 1961, had just seen his 1975 re-launch end after two years. Although The New Avengers had live action scenes to rival American imports, audiences failed to connect with the outlandish plots, but did appreciate the cars. The deal with British Leyland to supply the cars for the series was ground-breaking, a marketing masterstroke, but reliability issues caused problems and the continuity department had to deal with replacement cars, often in different colours.Ever the innovator, Brian Clemens could see that audiences were tiring of the cops and robbers formula and, with the realities of domestic terrorism a daily threat and foreign atrocities widely reported, The Professionals was launched in 1977 against the backdrop of the Cold War. The two heroes, who were neither police officers or members of the security services, were instructed by the Home Secretary to use any means to deal with crimes of a serious nature. The fictional department, Criminal Intelligence-5, was headed by George Cowley, and our heroes, Ray Doyle and William Bodie, were his best operatives. Doyle, an ex-detective constable who worked the seedier parts of London, partnered with Bodie, a former member of the SAS.Their regional accents and high-street style connected with audiences and, for the first time on British TV, there were heroes that were both relatable and inspirational. The conversation in the typing pool (this was 1980) discussed who was the sexiest out of the two, and lads in pubs admired the cars and the driving. Having learned the significance of a motor manufacturer as an important partner in supplying the cast with specific, character-oriented cars, Ford of Britain were approached and were happy to supply a Ford Granada for George Cowley and, later in the process, this pair of rather special Ford Capris.Designed to be the Ford Mustang of Europe, the mind-boggling array of options meant that the Capri could be whatever you wanted it to be; just like the Mustang. The Capri was in fact a far more varied animal with engines ranging from 1,300cc to 3,100cc as well as a myriad of trim specifications. The most popular engine was the 1,600cc unit, but the object of most desire was the 3-litre version, which was available from the 1969 Mk 1 through to 1981 as the 3.0 S. Over time, the 3.0 S became synonymous with our action duo and undoubtedly inspired a generation of car enthusiasts whilst coincidentally giving a bit of a boost to Ford's performance car market.We are therefore privileged to offer these fabulously-presented cars on behalf of our vendor from his 16-year ownership. Most people seem to agree that these two cars should always be garaged together and consequently they are to be offered as a pair and sold as one Lot with the auction estimate of £200,000 to £230,000.1980 Ford Capri 3.0 S - as driven by Bodie.First registered on 4th June 1980 to the Ford Motor Company, Essex as OWC 827V, it was loaned to Mark 1 Productions Ltd. for the filming of Series four. Ford stipulated that the car was to wear the false registration plate 'OWC 827W' on screen so that the vehicle appeared new on the first TV transmission date of Series four on 19th October 1980. So when the first episode 'Blackout' went out the W suffix had already been released by the DVLA on the 1st August 1980. Ford therefore received free advertising of a 'new' Ford Capri 3.0S on a W plate. Production notes and filming schedules confirm the car’s original “V” registration as does the definitive book of the TV series, The Professionals by Bob Roca and Julian Vogt.Supplied in Stratos Silver and fitted with roll-top head rests as opposed to Recaro fish-nets, it was allocated to Lewis Collins who played William Bodie and the car went on to feature in 10 episodes of the series: Black Out, The Gun, Wild Justice, Blood Sports, Hijack, You'll be All Right, Kickback, Discovered in a Graveyard, The Ojuka Situation, and The Untouchables.OWC 827V has the distinction of appearing on screen more than all of the cars used in the five series of The Professionals between 1977 to 1981. Bought by our vendor on 1st October 2007, it was sympathetically restored in 2021 with meticulous attention to detail, retaining many original features, most notably the interior. The original engine and gearbox have been fully reconditioned and a stainless steel exhaust was fitted at the same time. The vehicle still features its original alloy wheels which are shod with period-correct Goodyear Grand Prix 185 x 70 x 13 tyres. The speedometer reading, at the time of cataloguing, was 53,939 miles and the car is presented to auction with a detailed history file, V5C, receipts and memorabilia.

Lot 653
With just one former keeper and a genuine recorded mileage of just 14,438, this 40-year old 2.8i remains in stunning condition.Restyled three times in its 33-year life, the Capri always remained close to its roots. The initially exaggerated 'belt line' would smooth and the impression of almost scalloped sides would flatten out. By the Mk III of 1978, Capri sales were in decline although the model was still an attractive, roomy and individual coupe.Consequently, in 1982, Ford decided to launch a new fuel-injected power plant and dropped the 3-litre V6 in favour of the all-new 2.8-litre injection Cologne V6, with a power output of 160bhp and a top speed of 130mph through the existing 4-speed gearbox. This was swiftly upgraded to a 5-speed and, along with an interior facelift, it enabled Ford to keep the Capri in production until it finally bowed out in 1986.The increasingly popular ‘Performance Ford’ market keeps on revealing hidden gems, many of which are unrepeatable, with this Ford Capri being no exception and a prime example of the breed. With just one former keeper and a genuine recorded mileage, at the time of viewing, of just 14,438, its condition has to be seen to be believed. This unrestored 2.8i is exceptional throughout with the word ‘concours' never being more appropriate. Mothballed and stored correctly for 30-plus years by the previous owner, due to ill health, nothing has been altered or changed from the original specification, even the original Bill of Sale is present detailing the ‘on the road cost’ as being £7,732.50. It's complete with both its original keys and, of course, the original book pack as presented by the supplying dealer, Bristol Street Motors, Bromley, Kent on 3rd August 1983 who also kindly included a pin badge which is still present stating 'Go Capri, Go Bristol Street’, a true time-warp marketing tool for the next custodian to enjoy. It even sits on the original tyres it was wearing when it rolled off the production line.Now fully recommissioned with a totally overhauled fuel system, this benchmark Capri is ready to grace the home of any serious Ford collector or fanatic, and will surely be welcomed at, and be one of, the stars of any Blue Oval event.

Lot 732
The lowest-mileage VX220 available? Probably. With just 800 miles - an amazing example of the 'other' lightweight British sportscar of the era, but with a 0-62mph time of 4.7 seconds.The noughties gave us some true future classics, although not all were appreciated equally at the time. Take the Vauxhall 220, which made its debut in 2000. The two-seat roadster may have a following today, but it failed to ignite the wider buying public’s enthusiasm during the early years of the new millennium - despite its eye-catching looks and a genesis that involved the expertise of one of the finest sports car makers in existence. Under the skin, the VX220 shared much with the contemporary Lotus Elise as the product of a partnership between Lotus and Vauxhall; it was built at Hethel and shared many crucial parts with the Elise S2, including the stiff, aluminium chassis tub. It also benefited from Lotus’s know-how with glass-fibre bodywork and suspension tuning.Being a mainstream car maker - and to put a bit of distance between the VX220 and the Elise - Vauxhall opted to temper its new roadster by giving it a longer wheelbase and a wider rear track than the Elise, plus a driver’s airbag and ABS. It chose 17" wheels over the Elise’s 16s, too, although it stopped short of adding air-con and electric windows.Rather than the Elise’s K-series powerplant, a strong, 145bhp 2.2-litre Ecotec petrol engine was shoehorned in, which was enough to propel the 870kg VX220 to 62mph in 5.6 seconds. In 2003, the option of a 2-litre turbo petrol unit from the Astra GSi became available, resulting in blistering performance, as a 0-62mph time of 4.7 seconds attests, despite being heavier than the previous model, at 930kg; the new VX220T also sported cosmetic changes, such as large side air intakes and a spoiler.The car presented here is a 2004 Vauxhall VX220 Turbo and is, we believe, the lowest mileage example of its type in existence - just 800 miles covered in total from new. Quite remarkable. This striking sportscar was used for a very brief period when new by its more senior custodian, who not long after, sadly passed away, meaning the car was returned to its garage in 2008. As can happen, life continued by and the VX220 became somewhat overlooked. It was eventually rescued from hibernation by a Lotus enthusiast, who undertook a full recommissioning process of it which included draining and renewing all fluids, a new cambelt, water pump and battery - it responded as well as you’d expect an 800-mile example to, as fresh as it was in 2004.This completely standard, basically as new VX220 is truly a time-warp example; the paintwork is still bright and the leather elements of the interior remain supple, the whole car is in quite superb condition (testimony to its excellent storage location, being both dark and dry). Underneath, everything is almost as new too, with most of the original wishbone coating still in situ - the car has obviously never seen any rain/salt during its 800 miles.The value for these focussed diminutive sportscars perhaps bottomed-out a few years ago and is now very much on the climb. An active forum supports owners, whilst specialists have begun to remanufacture unobtainable parts, all clear signs that the VX220 has reached modern-classic status. This must be one of – or even the - lowest mileage VX220s available anywhere, carrying a certain kudos for both the collector and enthusiast alike.SpecificationMake: VAUXHALLModel: VX220 TURBOYear: 2004Chassis Number: W0L0EBR973N007260Registration Number: NR04 YMPTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 31025523 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 816 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Bought new by the legendary comedian and offered with his original registration EM 100. Unrestored and a unique opportunity.For a couple of decades during the middle of the 20th Century, it seemed almost compulsory that celebrity Rolls-Royce owners had to be pictured alongside their car, posing self-importantly. Yet there was one gentleman at the very top of his game who just could not take himself or the trappings of his success seriously in front of the camera. The photograph included in this very special car’s history file defines the late Eric Morecambe in one image. Although a household name, he still looked, and importantly behaved, like everyone’s favourite uncle, he just wanted to get a laugh.By the mid-1960s, and having worked hard since their double act was formed in 1941, Eric Morecombe and Ernie Wise had started to make some serious money. In 1968, the same year as the launch of The Morecambe & Wise Show, Eric bought one of the most expensive sports cars at the time, a Jensen Interceptor. The car played a significant role in saving his life during a period of ill-health, and his subsequent interview with Michael Parkinson also inspired our Chairman, Nick Whale, decades later to track down and restore that particular Interceptor. In 1971, Eric’s ambition of owning a Rolls-Royce was fulfilled when he bought his first of two Silver Shadows. As confirmed by his long-term chauffeur, the late Mike Fountain, Eric would usually sit up front and only used the back seat when he wanted to stretch out for a nap.On 11th October 1974, this Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, finished in Walnut Brown with a Beige interior, was supplied new to Eric and bore his private EM 100 registration. The only registration the car has ever had, it is generously included by our vendor in the sale in recognition of its historical importance. The car was much loved by Eric, and it's poignant that he still had the Rolls ten years later when he sadly passed away, at the age of 58, on 28th May 1984. The family kept the car for a further 20-years until they sold it at auction in December 2004. The car had 74,000 miles on the odometer at the time, and the previous owner, from whom our vendor bought the car, had travelled an additional 3,000 miles to account for the odometer reading of 77,452 miles at the time of cataloguing.Having never been restored, the bodywork and chrome bumpers present as one might expect, the beige leather has aged well and the lambswool rugs are pleasingly still in place although the walnut veneers show the usual bloom of old lacquer. With bills of £15,000 over the last ten years, the mechanical aspects of the car appear to have been maintained to a very high standard.We conclude that few celebrity cars are available at this estimate and, with a number plate worth a significant sum on its own, this fabulous Rolls-Royce will surely bring you sunshine wherever it goes.SpecificationMake: ROLLS-ROYCEModel: SILVER SHADOWYear: 1974Chassis Number: SRH19679Registration Number: EM 100Transmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 19679 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 77500 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Beige LeatherClick here for more details and images
Lot 622
Understood to be one of just 27 UK-supplied cars, matching numbers, a fabulous history file and presenting beautifully today.Introduced in September 1975 for the 1976 model year with production only running until 1977, the Porsche Carrera 3.0 is rightly regarded as somewhat of a special and rare model amongst the impact-bumper era, 911 model range. Following on after the MFI-engined Carrera 2.7, the 3.0 Carrera heralded the adoption of the newly developed Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection engine. This torque-rich, smooth and free-revving 3-litre engine, with a distinctive 'cam' effect from 4,000rpm, produced 200bhp and was effectively a naturally-aspirated version of the 930 Turbo's drivetrain, using the same die-cast aluminium crankcase and gearbox housing for durability.Having considerably more torque than the outgoing Carrera 2.7, the Carrera 3.0 was one of the earliest Porsches to return economical fuel consumption figures without any significant performance loss and acceleration times from 0-60 mph and 0-100 mph were almost identical to the original 2.7 RS and 2.7 Carrera. Performance was aided further by the relatively light weight of the 3.0 Carrera compared to its successors. During its short two-year life span, only 3,687 cars were built in total - a tiny amount compared to nearly 58,000 911 SCs and 76,500 3.2 Carreras produced. Worldwide production ran to 2,564 Coupés of which 1,123 were Targas. Only around 1,064 Coupés were manufactured in right-hand drive and it is understood that this car is one of just 27 Targas.According to the copy Bill of Sale on file, dated 26th July 1977, a William Findlay, Esq., of Stranraer, Scotland bought this car, chassis 9117610526, in the fabulously retro Platinum Metallic, a special order paint costing £259.00. The interior was specified as Cork Leatherette with beige pin-stripe velour to the seats, whilst the black Porsche lettering cost an additional £27.00, bringing the total price to a, not inconsiderable, £15,467.14. The accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirms the engine number as 6671537/930/02 whilst the 5-speed manual transmission is recorded as 7175674/915/61. Listed as optional equipment are impact absorbers, forged alloy rims, sport seats, chrome trim (instead of black), front and rear spoilers, Bilstein Shock Absorbers, the 5-speed gearbox and coloured windows.The original service book lists the name and addresses of two subsequent owners whilst the maintenance record show dates, stamps and mileages for the appropriate schedules. The detailed history file includes reams of period receipts, whilst the most recent invoices are a mix of specialist workshops and Porsche main dealers. It was bought by our vendor, a longstanding customer with an enviable car collection, on 27th September 2020 from long-term family ownership. The coachwork has been painted to a high standard and the interior remains remarkably original and still wonderfully 1970s. The MOT is valid until September 2023 and the V5C is present.Presented to auction with an odometer reading, at the time of cataloguing, of 74,029 miles, this car, as one of the rarest UK-market production Porsches, represents good value against the 930 Turbo and is the smart choice for those who respect history, rarity and condition.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911Year: 1977Chassis Number: 9117610526Registration Number: CDS 876STransmission: ManualEngine Number: 6671537 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 74029 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Cork LeatheretteClick here for more details and images

A collector-quality example of Renault's never-to-be-repeated, limited-edition, design-classic with just over 5,000 miles and an extensive service history.The idea for the Renault Spider was formulated in the early 1990s, in the midst of a revival, after a difficult second half of the 1980s, Renault wanted a car to promote as a sporting brand (similar to the Renault 5 Turbo from a decade earlier) and as a result the Spider was the first car to be produced under the new brand name of 'Renaultsport'.The Renaultsport Spider started life as a futuristic concept car dubbed ‘Laguna Roadster’ that made its international debut at the 1990 edition of the Paris Motor Show. Public response to the Laguna Roadster was surprisingly positive, so Renault’s top executives attempted to make a reasonable business case for it. The project was a tough sell at first, few automakers can justify investing in a low-volume niche model, but it was finally given the green light for production in September of 1993.The Spider was intended to serve as both a racing car in a one-make series organised by Renault and as a slightly more civilized road car. The first prototypes for 'Project W94', as it was known at the time, were completed in mid-1994, and a concept version was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995. The car went on sale in late 1995, assembled at the Alpine factory in Dieppe.Designed from the outset as a driver's car, the chassis was made of aluminium (combining low weight and substantial strength) clad in a GRP body. The gearbox and engine were one unit, transversally fixed in an oscillating hinge (an arrangement inspired by aeronautical design), which all but eradicated the interference of engine vibration with the chassis. The pedals of the Spider were adjustable as well as the seat so the driver could achieve the absolute optimum driving position. The heart of the Spider was a mid-mounted 2-litre, DOHC F7R four-cylinder engine which was borrowed from the Clio Williams and later used in the Mégane Coupé. Tuned to generate 148bhp and 129lb/ft. of torque, the 16-valve unit was linked to a five-speed manual transmission that sent power to the rear wheels. The 930kg two-seater sprinted from 0 to 62mph in 6.9 seconds and went on to a top speed of 133mph.According to the official production numbers there were just 1,685 examples of the Spider assembled in Alpine’s Dieppe factory from 1996 to 1999. Each car was hand-built from start to finish and took about 90-hours to complete, which partially justified its relatively high price at the time. The Spider model was unfortunately discontinued after only a year and a half of production.400 LHD cars were produced as 'saute vente' with a wind deflector (instead of a windscreen) which created an air-screen in front of the driver. For the UK-market, a number of RHD cars were built with windscreens, but only 60 RHD cars were sold. The remainder of the cars were sold in the German market converted back to LHD with the addition of a driver’s airbag.The 1997 Renaultsport Spider presented here is one of those 60 windscreen-equipped, right-hand drive examples sold new to the UK-market and has covered just over 5,000 miles since new. It's finished in the original three-stage Pearlescent Liquid Yellow paintwork – arguably a Spider’s signature colour. Incredibly original and still in 'showroom condition', there cannot be many better examples available. It has quite obviously has never seen any rain or winter roads, its condition being wholly commensurate with its low-mileage, fully backed-up by servicing records. It was supplied new on 16th December 1997 through Bailey’s of Hanley Ltd. (Renault) and is still accompanied by its owner’s book-pack, service book, numerous receipts and invoices, V5C, previous MOT Certificates, and both keys, as well as clear and weatherproof cockpit covers. It also retains its original ‘briefcase’ in the front luggage compartment which houses the locking wheel nut, spares, tow hook, and jack.The service record is impeccable too, the most recent (with cambelt) being done at Renault specialists Cedar Motors Ltd. of Leicestershire.Aug 2022 - 5,018 miles - Vasstech NorthallertonSep 2021 - 5,008 miles - Vasstech NorthallertonSep 2020 - 4,999 miles - Vasstech NorthallertonJul 2019 - 4,993 miles - Vasstech NorthallertonSep 2007 - 3,322 miles - Parkwood Service CentreJun 2006 - 3,125 miles - Parkwood Service CentreMay 2004 - 2,675 miles - Parkwood Service CentreJun 2003 - 2,307 miles - Parkwood Service CentreJun 2002 - 2,081 miles - Parkwood Service CentreJun 2001 - 1,852 miles - Globe Motors LtdNov 1999 - 1,034 miles - Renault LeedsThis is a very rare opportunity to acquire a special little sports car, rarely seen on British roads, that is sure to be the talking point at any classic car show.SpecificationMake: RENAULTModel: SPORTS SPIDERYear: 1999Chassis Number: VMKAF0H0515801676Registration Number: R137 EFATransmission: Maual Engine Number: C000322 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 5215 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Bell (Vanessa).- Recent Paintings by Vanessa Bell with a Foreword by Virginia Woolf, first edition, one of 500 copies, 8pp., original wrappers, lightly toned, Favil Press, 1930.⁂ With Virginia Woolf's foreword, a charming essay about her sister's paintings: "One defies a novelist to keep his life through twenty seven volumes of fiction safe from our scrutiny. But Mrs. Bell says nothing. Mrs. Bell is as silent as the grave. Her pictures do not betray her. Their reticence is inviolable. That is why they intrigue and draw us on; that is why, if it be true that they yield their full meaning only to those who can tunnel their way behind the canvas into masses and passages and relations and values of which we know nothing - if it be true that she is a painter's painter - still her pictures claim us and make us stop. They give us an emotion. They offer a puzzle."
