Registration No: PHM 842L Chassis No: LD206450 MOT: March 2026Pleasingly retains its Triumph 3 litre V8 mated to a manual overdrive gearboxFitted with a Holley carburettor and tubular free flow exhaustOffered with history file and current V5CSubject to mechanical fettling in current ownershipIntroduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard and soft-top roofs. Despite being in production for seven years, during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.Finished in the classic combination of White with Black upholstery and a Black soft-top, this ‘home market’ example was first registered on April Fools’ Day 1973. Featuring the more desirable four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission, the Triumph pleasingly retains its original 3-litre V8 engine which has been uprated with a Holley four-barrel carburettor and freer-flowing tubular exhaust. Treated to a new clutch (including uprated thrust bearing) and associated master / slave cylinders, the Stag has also had attention paid to its rear crankshaft seal, fuel pump, viscous fan assembly, rocker cover gaskets and rear bushes. Expected to be MOT tested by the time of the auction, despite being eligible for exemption, ‘PHM 842L’ is said to ‘drive very well’. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.**PLEASE NOTE** Since the catalogue has gone to print, the vendor has identified a £15,884.26 bill from ‘Racestorations’ in 1997 which included:Full engine rebuild, unleaded, new clutch.Holly carburettor conversionKenlowe fan auto kitStainless steel exhaustGearbox rebuilt and upratedOverdrive rebuiltDifferential rebuilt New radiatorNew alternatorSuspension reconditioned see listingBodywork repaired all major rust removedRepainted Glacier White including engine bayWax oyled and stone chipped undersideElectrics repaired where requiredNew windscreenBest quality Carpet Set & KitInterior Trim Kit reconditioned as required plus new hoodStrut gaiters x 2Tie Rod End x 2Strut Inserts x 2Engine Mounts & GearboxFan BeltsEngine HosesGear Lever Binnacle & Surround ReconditionedBrake Pipe KitRear Brake LiningsU/j's x 6Trailing Arm bushes x 4Aeroquip Brake Flexy’sFront/Rear Road Springs x 4 For more information, please contact: Oliver Fernyhough-Martin oliver.fernyhough-martin@handh.co.uk 07483 361000
Registration No: L28 MGR Chassis No: SARRAWBMBMG000330 MOT: June 2025Desirable ‘home market’ example (1 of just 307 UK cars from the total 1,982 produced)Finished in British Racing Green metallic (1 of just 205)Just 34,500 miles from newNicely presented example, now fitted with adjustable power-assisted steeringOffered with a substantial history file including the original book packLaunched at the 1992 Birmingham Motor Show, the RV8 signalled MG's return to the open sports car market. Just as the Cobra grew out of the unprepossessing AC Ace, so the RV8 evolved from the immortal MGB Roadster (hence the car's 'Project Adder' development code). Built around a thoroughly re-engineered and neatly restyled version of its predecessor's monocoque bodyshell, it was powered by a 3948cc V8 engine that developed some 190bhp and 318Nm of torque. Said to be capable of 135mph and 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds, the adoption of telescopic shock absorbers and anti-roll bars all round brought a notable improvement in handling. Trimmed to a high standard, its inviting interior boasted leather upholstery and rich wood veneers. With the vast majority of the limited production run (just 1,983 are thought to have been made) going to a retro hungry Japan, RV8s remain a rare sight on British roads.Supplied new by Wrights of Lincoln being registered new on the 10th of November 1993, this example was one of just 205 examples finished in British Racing Green metallic. The interior is 'Stone Beige' Connolly leather with Burr Elm dashboard and door cappings in uncracked or blemished condition. Covering regular but minimal mileage each year, the RV8 is now offered having covered just 34,500 miles from new. In the ownership of the vendor since 2021, the MG has benefitted from over £8,000 worth of expenditure during his custodianship, with notable works including a new fuel pump, attention to the wiring, a new rotor arm, and fan belt in 2024; new steering rack with EZ adjustable power steering and rolling road set-up in 2023; and new rear wheel cylinders and brake shoes, and new front brake pads in 2021. Furthermore, the underside was wax oiled a little over two years ago, and a new stainless steel exhaust and catalytic converters were fitted in January 2025.Always garaged and never taken out in adverse weather conditions by the vendor, the bodywork and windscreen surround are reported to pleasingly show no signs of corrosion. Well serviced during its life, chassis ‘0330’ has benefitted from fifteen services documented across the service book and invoices, with the most recent completed in 2024 at 34,181 miles. The large history file comprises the original book pack in MG wallet, a large collection of invoices and MOT certificates, a current MOT certificate until June 2025 with no advisories, past tax discs, technical information, previous ownership history, and a current V5C document. Offered with both the full and half tonneau covers, the MG pleasingly also retains its original tool kit. One of the highly desirable 307 UK-supplied RV8s, this example in BRG and with excellent history is certainly one to consider!

THOMAS GRIGNION LONDON- A GILT BRONZE MANTEL CLOCK IN THE ROCOCO TASTE LATE 18TH/EARLY 19TH CENTURY 3.5" white enamel dial, signed twin fusée movement 36cm high overall, base 24cm wide Provenance: Acquired from Sotheby's, Clocks, 10 May 1990, Lot 324 Condition Report: Movement appears to be early 19th century hence probably later than the case. We have not removed the movement form the case to investigate further. Mechanism is in clean working order; there are spare holes towards the top of the plates suggesting that the movement may well have originally had a verge escapement. The dial has some chipping around the winding holes and some hairline cracking at three o'clock. The hands appear to be replacements. The surround and bezel are of a more copper-gilt tone than the case itself so may be non-original to the case. The case has overall rubbing and oxidation to the gilding otherwise is in sound original condition. The frets appear complete and are of good quality with engraved detail.Clock has pendulum and a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
