Lot 209
1917 Lancia Theta 35hp Tourer Registration no. RG 9540 Chassis no. B3950 Engine no. 3913•Present enthusiast ownership since 1973•Long-term restoration completed 1997•Well known in Lancia and VSCC circles•Comfortable cruising at 50mphFootnotes:This magnificent Lancia Theta is believed to have been imported as a rolling chassis by the UK's Ministry of War in 1917; many were used initially to mount anti-aircraft guns, and later served as mobile searchlight units. The car was bought by the current owner in 1973 as a project that would occupy him for some 20 years, with the fully restored car attending the 50th anniversary rally of the Lancia Motor Club in 1997. The rally was successfully completed, including ascending Prescott Hill in several demonstration runs. Since then, the car has lived near Bath in a heated garage and is well known among VSCC members and Lancia enthusiasts. It is believed that only 19 Lancia Thetas survive worldwide, built between the commencement of the marque in 1908 and 1917 when this example was made. Its owner Roland Grazebrook, now in his mid-eighties, has been involved with Lancias all his life, including roles as both Chairman and Librarian of the Lancia Motor Club. He has owned 20 Lancias including both inter-war and post-war cars. The Theta is the only car to have remained in his constant ownership for all of the last 49 years. In regular use, the engine (a replacement of correct type) is described as in sound condition, starting easily on its electric starter motor. This and the original dynamo have been converted to 12v. The gearbox was fitted with many new components as part of the restoration and is said to function well. The clutch is an 18-plate unit, light in action, which we are advised makes for a smooth gearchange that is well in advance of its time. The chassis is said to be in good condition, having been totally stripped and coated with specialist chassis paint during the restoration. The Holcombe body was built circa 1995 with an ash frame and aluminium panelling. The decision on body style was made when the owner, having looked at examples of the Theta clad in a variety of bodies, found a photograph in the Beaulieu library of a 35hp Theta owned by Noel Macklin: he of Invicta and Railton fame, and designer of the Fairmile torpedo boat. Subsequently a second photograph was found, confirming his ownership of such a car in the early 1920s.Chosen to match period fire engines, the two-pack paint - chosen for its durability - was applied circa 1995. The colour maintains a deep lustre, which beautifully complements the brass lights and fittings. The interior is reported as excellent, having been reupholstered in the 1970s with deep-buttoned Connolly hide typical of the original cars. The brass instruments are all original and working, although the speedometer could usefully be re-calibrated. The gear lever is original with a brass handle, and the handbrake likewise has a brass handle and the original plated lever. The steering wheel was rebuilt in the 1970s with a new rim and grips. The levers for ignition timing and hand throttle are original. The steering wheel and levers have been re-covered as original. The car was re-wired using mainly aluminium-bound wiring. The headlamps are original, as is one sidelight, while the second side light was hand-made as a close copy. Both taillights were hand-made using photographs and the parts manual for reference. All lights function correctly, as do the modern indicators, which are painted black. A great deal of care has been taken to restore the car to factory specification in every possible detail. The original Lancia front axle is still fitted; this was a folded axle in deference to Vincenzo Lancia's commitment to saving weight. Many improvements have been made in the light of experience, particularly to the steering, which involved correcting and adjusting the Ackerman angles. Five rear axle ratios were available in 1917, and the second highest has been chosen for easy cruising, although the torque is so great that top gear can be used to pull away from 15mph! The Theta cruises comfortably at 50mph with an occasional maximum in excess of 60mph. The car is never used in winter conditions and is kept garaged in a heated building.Details of the Theta's history were recounted in an illustrated article in the Lancia Motor Club magazine, a copy of which is on file together with Veteran Car Services Ltd's dating report and certificate. This Lot is available to view at Classic Car Storage near Petersfield, Hampshire (by appointment with the Car Department only) from Monday 24th October to Wednesday 2nd November. It will then be available to view at Bonhams, 101 New Bond Street on Friday 4th November from 10am.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1898 Peugeot Type 15 8hp Twin-Cylinder Double-Phaeton Registration no. CH 71 Chassis no. 439 Engine no. 174•Delivered new in France•Formerly part of the Museo di Rodo collection•Restored in the 1990s by Tony Smallbone•Many-time London-Brighton finisher•Past winner of the Regent Street Concours Footnotes:'The Peugeot is the French car that still maintains its excellence and is the only firm of long- standing repute still manufacturing two-cylinder engined cars and with a range of models from 8 hp to 50 hp ... it is made apparent that the Peugeot cars are fully worthy of the high place they have taken in the motor world.' - Max Pemberton. The Amateur Motorist, 1907.Established producers of tools, coffee mills, umbrella spikes and corsetry, Peugeot commenced its long-standing connection with wheeled transport in 1885 when it added cycle manufacture to its portfolio. Among the world's oldest surviving motor manufacturers, the company commenced car production in 1889 with a steam-powered tri-car but soon abandoned steam in favour of the internal combustion engine to Daimler design, building a succession of ever larger automobiles before introducing the first of its famous Bébé light cars in 1900. Step by step Peugeot modernised its designs, adopting the steering wheel in 1901 on the Type 36 and front-mounted engines on all of its new models in 1902. From that time forward Peugeot unashamedly copied the Mercedes style in miniature. Singles, twins and four-cylinder cars were produced at this time, some with chain and others with shaft drive, the latter becoming universal after 1909. This car's early history is recorded in the Peugeot factory records, which show that it was delivered on 16th July 1898 to a customer (name not recorded) in the Muriac region of France. However, it seems that this car received special attention as evidenced by the larger-than-usual number of nickel-plated parts in addition to Peugeot's liberal stamping of the car number on the chassis, body, and various other components, including some nuts and bolts. These numbered parts were discovered during restoration, confirming the car's unusually high degree of originality, and are still in place today. This Peugeot Type 15 has a horizontal 8hp twin-cylinder engine displacing approximately 2.2 litres, which drives via four-speeds-plus-reverse gearbox, making it an advanced design for the day. It also has an early form of governor-controlled 'cruise control', and we are advised that the hot tube ignition has never given any trouble. The Peugeot must have been well cared-for during its early life and subsequent storage, as by the 1950s, when the car came into the possession of the Museo di Rodo at Uzès in the Gard department of southern France, it was complete and un-restored. When the museum closed in the 1980s, the Peugeot was purchased at a London auction by Tony Smallbone. From early 1990 to 1996, Tony carried out a full 'last nut and bolt' restoration retaining every original part possible. The finished car completed the 100-year celebration, London to Brighton Run in 1996 without a fault. It has successfully completed the run many times and is a past winner of the Regent Street Concours. Subsequently the Peugeot passed to Robin Loader and latterly to the present owner, both of whom have enjoyed numerous successful London to Brighton Runs (including several very early arrivals), many other Victorian events and Lac Leman runs. Tony Smallbone has continued to look after the car for the current vendor.There is a substantial amount of paperwork with the car, including numerous invoices and photographs dating from when it was restored in the early 1990s, together with a VCC dating certificate, a V5C document, and plenty of marque-related information. This Lot is available to view at 101 New Bond Street from Friday 28th October to Friday 4th November during normal business hours For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY (1991) - T-800 Articulated Metal Endoskeleton ArmA T-800 articulated metal endoskeleton arm from James Cameron's sci-fi action sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day. During the film's opening scenes, an army of T-800 terminators dominated the wasteland war zone of 2029 Los Angeles during the conflict between the artificial intelligence Skynet and the human resistance. These genocidal machines were created by Cameron's long-time collaborator, Stan Winston, who originally helped bring one to life in 1984's The Terminator. Stan Winston Studio was tasked with creating numerous endoskeletons for the sequel's "Future War" opening sequence, including both cable-controlled puppets and static endoskeletons.The arm has been separated at the elbow, and is made of cast metal with a chrome finish. It features flexible metal cables encasing plastic tubes, which run down the centre of the forearm and would have operated the movable fingers. The finger joints of the hand are still fully flexible but can no longer be posed or moved mechanically. The arm exhibits some scratches and minor tarnishing from production use and age. Dimensions: 54 cm x 10 cm x 9 cm (21 1/4" x 4" x 3 1/2") Estimate: £30,000 - 50,000 MThis lot will be auctioned on Thursday, November 3rd.
