2017 Aston Martin DB9 GT Volante Registration no. not registered Chassis no. SCFFDAFM3HGB17559•Historic last-of-the-line model•Built to Swiss specifications•Believed one owner from new•Offered from storage•Circa 100km on the odometerFootnotes:'The Aston Martin DB9 is a thoroughbred sports car with GT levels of comfort and refinement. Combining Aston Martin's unique character with an uncompromising design philosophy, the DB9 was borne out of a synthesis of traditional craftsmanship, high-tech manufacturing, modern components and use of the finest materials.' - Aston Martin.Launched in 2003 as successor to the DB7, the DB9 was the first model to be built at Aston Martin's new factory at Gaydon, Warwickshire. Like its predecessor, the DB9 was styled by Ian Callum, with finishing touches applied by Henrik Fisker. State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques were employed in making the aluminium/composite body, which was robotically assembled using a combination of self-piercing rivets and adhesive. Although some 25% lighter than that of the DB7, this advanced bodyshell possesses double the structural stiffness. The DB9 was powered by a development of the 5.9-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine found in the DB7 Vantage producing 470bhp, an output sufficient to propel the aerodynamic coupé to a top speed of 306km/h (190mph) with 60mph attainable from a standing start in a neck-snapping 4.8 seconds. The aluminium engine was mounted as far back as possible in the chassis, while the transmission/final drive was positioned ahead of the rear axle, resulting in 85% of the car's mass being sited between the axles and a perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution. Transmission options were a six-speed manual or six-speed 'Touchtronic 2' semi-automatic.Inside the DB9 one finds the typically elegant, luxurious and supremely comfortable hand crafted interior traditionally associated with Aston Martin, featuring primarily wood and leather trim as well as the latest in modern technology, subtly deployed. Although scheduled for a slightly higher production level than previous Aston Martins, the DB9 remained an exclusive product affordable only by a privileged few. Its price at launch was £111,000, with the Volante some £14,000 more. After a dozen-or-so years in production, the DB9 bowed out with its final edition: the DB9 GT. Introduced in 2015, the GT had a power output of 540bhp and maximum torque of 457lb/ft; acceleration times improved marginally while the DB9's top speed remained unchanged. Production ceased in 2016.Believed owned from new by the current vendor, this DB9 GT Volante was built for the Swiss market and left the factory finished in Cumberland Grey with Bitter Chocolate interior trim. Kept in storage, the Aston comes with a scan of an old Middle-Eastern registration document and will require re-commissioning before further use.Please note that if this vehicle is to stay in the UK, it will be subject to Import VAT at the standard rate of 20% and Import Duty at 10% (plus VAT) on the hammer price.

2017 Force India-Mercedes VJM10 Formula 1 Racing Single-Seater Chassis no. VJM10-01• Offered without reserve• Offered directly from the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team• Nine points-scoring finishesFootnotes:Offered in show-car condition less engine and transmission.Here Bonhams offers this most attractively presented, ten-times-raced, modern-era Formula 1 car preserved in non-running 'show car' display condition. It is offered as assembled in show car form around its original 2017 monocoque chassis, but with bodywork and livery representing the taken-over and renamed team's 2019 Racing Point RP19 Formula 1 contender.This is an historically significant Formula 1 car since at core it was one of the vital tools which carried the relatively under-funded and tiny Force India team to an incredible fourth place finish in the 2017 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship. Chassis 'VJM10-01's racing record during its active period in the Force India team's 2017 campaign – for which it was driven by Esteban Ocon to no fewer than nine points-scoring finishes from its nine starts - is as follows:Australian GP, Melbourne – Esteban Ocon – q.13th – 10th – points-scoring finishChinese GP, Shanghai - Esteban Ocon – q.17th – 10th– points-scoring finishBahrain GP, Sakhir - Esteban Ocon – q.14th – 10th– points-scoring finishRussian GP, Sochi - Esteban Ocon – q.10th – 7th– points-scoring finishSpanish GP, Catalunya - Esteban Ocon – q.10th – 5th– points-scoring finishMonaco GP, Monte Carlo - Esteban Ocon – q.15th – 12thCanadian GP, Montreal - Esteban Ocon – q.9th – 6th– points-scoring finishAzerbaijan GP, Baku - Esteban Ocon – q.7th – 6th– points-scoring finishAustrian GP, Red Bull Ring - Esteban Ocon – q.9th – 8th– points-scoring finishBritish GP, Silverstone - Esteban Ocon – q.7th – 8th– points-scoring finishAs can be clearly seen from the above racing record, here is a small-team Formula 1 car which punched way above its supposed weight at World Championship level when guided by the promising young French driver – today a Grand Prix winner, of course, having triumphed in the 2021 Hungarian GP when driving for the Alpine (Renault) team. Esteban José Jean-Pierre Ocon-Khelfane is a French racing driver whose father was a Normandy garage owner of Spanish extraction, and who sold both the family home and the garage to help fund his son's early racing career. By the age of 14 Esteban had achieved such karting success he was signed up by an affiliate of Renault F1 enabling him to learn the ropes of world-class circuit racing in Formula Renault single-seaters 2012-13. Over the following three years he worked his way through Formula 3, winning the 2014 European F3 Championship and in 2015 he won the GP3 title while also serving as reserve driver for Renault F1. When another Force India driver candidate fell ill, Ocon tested for the team in Barcelona, but in 2016 made his Formula 1 debut with Manor Racing, before being signed for Force India's 2017 campaign, teamed with the admired Mexican Sergio 'Checo' Pérez.While the pair had some controversial moments during that 2017 season, Pérez and Ocon both finished so consistently well that they placed seventh and eighth overall in the Drivers' World Championship standings come year's end. And only three teams accumulated more Formula 1 Constructors' Championship points than Force India; Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull. With these VJM10 cars, Force India headed the likes of Williams, Renault and McLaren that year.Focus of the Force India VJM10 Formula 1 design was to prove competitive under revised Formula 1 technical regulations for 2017. The Mercedes power unit and gearbox defined the general layout of the VJM10 as a long-wheelbase car, but the Force India technical team under Andy Green pursued a high-rake aerodynamic concept in contrast to the works Mercedes team's low-rake preference. Chief aerodynamicist Simon Phillips worked with the Toyota wind tunnel in Cologne, Germany. Team direction was by Otmar Szafnauer, under whom Force India displayed an immensely practical, common-sense approach to racing strategy, particularly with tyre choice.Some rear-end instability became characteristic of the VJM10 design but it was improved as the season progressed though never fully corrected. This trait was believed to be aero-derived but certain aspects of the rear suspension geometry had been compromised because the Mercedes gearbox's suspension pick-up points had been tailored to Mercedes' own low-rake concept, whereas Force India's was increasingly high-rake – the cars running nose down/tail high to achieve their optimum performance. Through the 2017 season the four Force India-Mercedes VJM10s built saw the design's superior reliability and consistency offset its mid-field rival Renault's greater development budget and pace. The Force India Formula 1 racing team was founded in time to enter competition in the 2008 Formula 1 World Championship series, but the organisation's background dated back as far as 1991 when former racing driver Eddie Jordan's rapidly-growing équipe first entered the premier-league Grand Prix racing category, operating from its headquarters adjacent to the historic Silverstone circuit in Northamptonshire, England. Jordan Formula 1 enjoyed many years in World Championship contention, winning four Grand Prix rounds and securing third place overall in the 1999 Constructors' Championship. However, fortunes deteriorated thereafter and eventually in 2005 Eddie Jordan sold the team to the Midland Group. Midland F1 Racing struggled at that level until owner Alex Shnaider sold the team to Dutch-managed entity Spyker Cars in mid-2006.Spyker F1 took one World Championship point in 2007 and - after driver Markus Winkelhock briefly led the rain-swept European Grand Prix at the Neue Nürburgring - the team was once again sold, this time for 88-million Euros to the hyper-enthusiastic Indian chairman of the United Breweries Group and Michiel Mol, Spyker's contemporary Formula One Director. The venture became renamed the Force India Formula One Team for the 2008 season. Led by the experienced Colin Kolles, with Mike Gascoyne as chief technology officer, and drivers Adrian Sutil and Giancarlo Fisichella, the revised team finished tenth place in that year's Constructors' Championship, best placing being tenth in the Spanish Grand Prix.Force India retained the same drivers for 2009 when its VJM02 cars were powered by Mercedes-Benz engines, with McLaren-Mercedes gearboxes, hydraulic systems and kinetic energy recovery systems. Force India took its first pole position at the year's Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, when Fisichella qualified fastest, and finally finished second overall. For the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Adrian Sutil qualified second before finishing fourth and setting fastest lap of the race. Ninth in the end-of-season Constructors' table did not reflect vast strides made by Force India that season. The team's other podium finishes would go on to include five third-places, in the 2014 Bahrain Grand Prix, 2015 Russian Grand Prix, 2016 Monaco Grand Prix, 2016 European Grand Prix and the 2018 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, all achieved by Sergio Pérez.In 2018, the team's assets were bought by a consortium of investors, named Racing Point UK and led by Lawrence Stroll, the father of then Williams d...

1958 Porsche 356A T2 Coupé Coachwork by Reutter Registration no. 823 XVU Chassis no. 102714 Engine no. P68580•Supplied new to Kenya•Right-hand drive•Only four owners from new•Professional restoration completed in January 2022 (bills and photographs available)•Concours conditionFootnotes:Although Ferdinand Porsche had established his automotive design consultancy in the early 1930s, his name would not appear on a production car until 1949. When it did, it graced one of the all-time great sports cars: the Porsche 356. Having commenced manufacture with a short run of around 50 hand-built aluminium-bodied cars at Gmünd, Porsche began volume production of the steel-bodied 356 coupé at its old base in Stuttgart, at first in premises shared with coachbuilders Reutter and then (from 1955) in its original factory at Zuffenhausen.The work of Ferdinand's son, 'Ferry' Porsche, the 356 was based on the Volkswagen designed by his father. Like the immortal 'Beetle', the 356 employed a platform-type chassis with rear-mounted 1,100cc air-cooled engine and torsion bar all-independent suspension, yet somehow contrived to offer level of performance that belied the basic layout's humble origins. In part this had been achieved by the 356's aerodynamically efficient body, designed by Porsche employee Erwin Komenda. In its report on the 1949 Geneva Motor Show, scene of the 356's international debut, Motor commented: 'Despite the conservatively stressed engine, a weight of only 11.7cwt gives 68bhp/ton and the beautifully formed body offers such low drag that the car has been timed by an independent tester to cover a kilometre at 84mph (134km/h).'Porsche was anxious to prove its new sports car in competition, and on 11th July 1948 the open prototype had won its class at a race meeting at Innsbruck. In 1951 an aluminium-bodied works car finished first in the 1,100cc class at the Le Mans 24-Hour Race and 20th overall, thus beginning the marque's long and illustrious association with La Sarthe. Aluminium cylinder heads were an early improvement (introduced in November 1949) while constant development would see the 356's engine progressively enlarged, with 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre units first becoming available in 1951. As the engine increased in both size and power, the inadequacies of the Volkswagen-type transmission were exposed, leading to the introduction of Porsche's own synchromesh gearbox - the Type 519 - in 1952. That same year the original split windscreen was replaced by a one-piece, while 1955 marked the arrival of the revised 356A model, the newcomer being readily distinguished by its curved windscreen and 15' - down from 16' - wheels. Regularly revised and updated, Porsche's landmark sports car would remain in production well into the 911 era, the final examples being built in 1965.The right-hand drive Porsche 356A offered here was supplied new from the factory (complete with a US-specification front bumper) to a Mr N Fallon in Nairobi, Kenya in January 1958, subsequently passing through the hands of two further owners in Kenya before being acquired by the current vendor in 1999. The car then remained in Kenya until it was shipped to well respected Porsche restorers RSC Automobile in Belgium for a complete 'last nut and bolt' restoration. This concours-standard rebuild was completed in January 2022 at a cost in excess of £150,000. Related bills are on file together with 450 digital images of the rebuild plus some lovely period shots showing the Porsche with its first owner in Kenya. Imported into the UK and registered here on 1st July 2022, this expertly restored Porsche 356A is worthy of the closest inspection.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Sydow, S. 105Johannes Grützke (1937 Berlin - 2017 ebenda) (F)'Komposition geheimer menschlicher Beziehungen', tempera and oil on panel, 120 cm x 85 cm, monogrammed, dated 66, additionally signed and dated 1966 on the reverse, with some minor abrasions, a small hole in the canvas, literature: Cat. rais. Sydow, p. 105 ''Art isn't modern, art is eternal!'' (Johannes Grützke) In a dark room, a man in a suit stands before a naked older woman with her hair piled up who seems to emerge from a box. A third, shadowy figure can be seen standing in a doorway. The work may depict one of the artists dreams, one that conjures up a meeting from the past. Johannes Grützke was born on 30th September 1937 in Berlin and studied at the Berlin Hochschule der Bildenden Künste from 1957 to 1964. The painter, draughtsman, printmaker and medal caster participated in Oskar Kokoschka's summer academy in Salzburg in 1962. From 1976 to 1977 he held a position as a visiting professor at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg and later took over from his former teacher Oskar Kokoschka at the summer academy in Salzburg. He was also among the founding members of the Künstlersonderbund in Germany, an organisation founded to support artistic proponents of realism. In the 1970s his style of representational art, which he mastered with an exceptionally high level of craftsmanship, went against the international trend towards abstraction, which was directed above all against the prescribed art form of Socialist Realism. His most important works include the monumental figural frieze of German parliamentarians in St. Paul's Church in Frankfurt from 1991.

Sergei Vasil'evic Chekhonin, Russian 1878-1936 - Projet de tissue; collage, signed lower right 'S. Tchehonine', 18.5 x 26.5 cm Provenance: Tajan, Paris 14th May 2014 lot 289, where purchased by the present owner Note: Chekhonin was a painter, illustrator and designer for the theatre and of porcelain. A student of Ilya Repin and Princess Tenisheva, he became an active member of Mir Iskusstva while engaged as an illustrator which brought him public recognition. He served as Artistic Director of the State Porcelain Factory from 1918 to 1923, whose creations from this period are still much admired by connoisseurs today. The artist likely remains the most important point of reference for the creation of post-revolutionary porcelain. His profound knowledge of culture and his impeccable sense of design, mixed with an adventurous approach to colour, place Chekhonin on a level rarely attained by any other artist.

Byrne, Bray, where purchased by the present ownerExhibited: Dublin, Society of Dublin Painters Gallery, May-June 1929 and May 1931; Dublin, The Dawson Gallery, April-May 1957.This relatively large painting dates from the late 1920s or early 1930s and embodies many of the conceptual and technical concerns that had preoccupied Evie Hone for almost a decade.  Its strong, sonorous colours and simplified modulated forms, its expressive almost gestural brushwork, its sense of animation and rhythm reflect how Hone, working between the Parisian avant-garde and her home in Dublin, developed ideas emanating from the radical experiments of Cubism (form and space) and Orphism (sound and colour) to create a new pictorial language of pure abstraction. With the absence of any form of representation it is a palette of pale and deep blues and greens and contrasting accents of purple and teal that construct the composition.  These bands of pure colour are underscored by accents of fleshy pink, yellow and orange which provide balance but also add warmth and depth and activate the composition’s circular rhythmic movement.  The canvas is arranged in an almost architectonic manner into two distinct parts – a larger upper compartment and a smaller horizontal predella panel.  The interlocking concentric shapes in the upper level clearly denote figures, possibly a Madonna and Child, framed by an arched canopy complete with architectural tracery in the form of a lopsided trefoil (left) and quatrefoil (right).  The predella with its composite of shapes in deep ochre, emerald and jade green as well as accents in lavender and blue suggests a recumbent figure stretched across the plane.  Contrasting dark and light shades of brown are used to fix the composition in place like the gilt frame of a gothic or early renaissance altarpiece.   Hone’s use of colour, rather than conventional drawing, to generate an arrangement of abstract almost biomorphic forms locates her in the vanguard of European modernism and is without parallel in Irish art.  Although born in Dublin, Evie Hone had studied at a secession of London art schools from 1912, where she had gone to access specialist medical treatment for the paralysis she suffered after contracting polio as a child.  But it was on a trip to Italy in 1914 that Hone decided to devote herself to painting and make art her vocation.  Here she was profoundly moved by the medieval and early renaissance art she encountered – often still located in the churches and religious buildings it was originally designed to decorate.  Her developing interest in primitivism, colour theory, spirituality and non-representational art would lead her to study with the painter and theorist Albert Gleizes in Paris from 1921.  Accompanied by her friend and fellow Dubliner, Mainie Jellett, Hone worked with Gleizes in his studio and exhibited her abstract work in Paris as well as in Dublin.  The ideas generated by the group Gleizes consolidated in an essay, and later in a book, entitled Le peintre et ses lois (1922-4), which argued that the representation of an object should be a form of ‘translation’ (its relation to other objects in space) and ‘rotation’ (how the object itself exists in space).  Pictorially these ideas were worked out through a process of reduction of an object to a series of elemental forms and the synthesis of these into a multi-layered image that was not dependent on the system of single-point perspective that had dominated European art since the fifteenth century.  This painting is a work of some significance and part of the group of mature abstract paintings shown in Hone’s two major solo exhibitions in Dublin in May-June 1929 and May 1931 at the Society of Dublin Painters Gallery at 7 St. Stephen’s Green.  These were last displayed together in the posthumous exhibition of Hone’s abstract work staged by Leo Smith at the Dawson Gallery in Dublin in April-May 1957.  Dr. Joseph McBrinn, October 2022

Bernard BuffetToréador1958/1965Öl auf Leinwand; gerahmt64 x 25,5 cmSigniert und datiert rechts oben: Bernard / Buffet / 58Rückseitig auf der Leinwand nummeriert und datiert: II. 1965Neumeister, München, 15.05.1998, Nr. 131;seither österreichischer Privatbesitz"La peinture, on n'en parle pas, on ne l'analyse pas, on la sent." (Bernard Buffet – Musée Bernard Buffet)Andy Warhols Lieblingskünstler, der Maler und Grafiker Bernard Buffet, wurde 1928 in Paris geboren und studierte am Lycée Carnot und von 1943 bis 1945 an der École des Beaux-Arts Kunstgeschichte (vgl. Udo Kittelmann (Hg.)/Dorothée Brill (Hg.), Bernard Buffet. Maler, painter, peintre, (Kat. Ausst., MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt/Main, 19.04 - 03.08.2008), Frankfurt/Main 2008, Köln, S. 19)). Als Mitglied der Künstlergruppe L’homme Témoin, die den vorherrschenden abstrakten Tendenzen den Rücken kehrte, blieb Buffet ein Leben lang der figurativen Kunst verhaftet und schuf ein über 8000 Gemälde, Aquarelle, Zeichnungen und Druckgrafiken umfassendes Œuvre von unverwechselbarem Wiedererkennungswert.Ob Porträts, Stillleben, Stadtansichten, historische oder religiöse Sujets – die thematisch vielseitigen Werke zeichnen sich durch Buffets bereits früh entwickelten und unverkennbaren, persönlichen Stil aus: In dunklen, entschlossenen Linien gewähren sie den Blick auf oftmals karge, trist anmutende Szenen, die das menschliche Dasein in einer von den Schrecken des Krieges geprägten Zeit und Welt thematisieren.Das Lebensgefühl der Nachkriegsjahre in seinen Werken widerspiegelnd, wurde Bernard Buffet in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren – am Höhepunkt seiner Karriere – als Maler des Existenzialismus und würdiger Nachfolger Pablo Picassos gefeiert, bevor Kunstkritiker seine Malerei als Kitsch bezeichnen sollten und sein Werk beinahe in Vergessenheit geraten sollte.Das vorliegende Gemälde "Toréador" stammt aus Buffets berühmter Stierkampfserie – ein Bildthema, dem sich der Künstler seit den späten 1950er Jahren immer wieder zuwandte und dem er 1967 unter dem Titel "La Corrida" auch eine Ausstellung in der Galerie David et Garnier in Paris widmete: "It was a […] religious level of ceremony, tradition, flamboyant colour and sombre gravity that had attracted him to the corrida and inspired him to produce his remarkable series of paintings, and to return again and again during the 1960s to the subject of the torero." (Nicolas Foulkes, Bernard Buffet: The Invention of the Modern Mega-Artist, London 2016, S. 353).Mit dem Sujet der Corrida griff Bernard Buffet eine Thematik bzw. Symbolik auf, die zuvor auch schon das Interesse anderer Künstler und Schriftsteller – wie Francisco de Goya, Pablo Picasso und Ernest Hemingway – geweckt hatte. Auch Buffets Frau Annabel teilte die Faszination ihres Mannes für das traditionsreiche Schauspiel des Stierkampfes und stand dem Künstler als Inspirationsquelle immer wieder für seine variierenden Torero-Darstellungen Modell.Ein Spiel auf Leben und Tod, Gefahr und Anspannung, Widerstandskraft und Stolz – in der Figur des Matadors fand Buffet nicht nur ein Motiv, um die Schwierigkeiten des Lebens und die Stimmung einer ganzen Generation zum Ausdruck zu bringen, sondern auch seiner persönlichen Ungewissheit als Mensch und Künstler Gestalt zu geben.Allen Kritikern und Vorwürfen trotzend, setzte Bernard Buffet seinen einst eingeschlagenen, künstlerischen Weg unbeirrt fort, bis er seiner künstlerischen Tätigkeit aufgrund einer fortschreitenden Parkinson-Erkrankung nicht mehr nachgehen konnte und sich im Oktober 1999 das Leben nahm.Aufgrund zahlreicher Ausstellungen – unter anderem einer umfassenden Retrospektive 2016/2017 im Pariser Musée d’Art Moderne – und Publikationen erlebten Buffets Werke auf dem Kunstmarkt wieder eine Aufwertung.(Barbara Berger)

BRZESKI STANISLAW: (1918-1972) Polish fighter ace of World War II, credited with 8 confirmed kills. Portion of a World War II date D.S., S. Brzeski, one page, slim oblong 8vo, n.p., n.d., evidently neatly clipped from a combat report, the narrative stating, in part, 'I was flying with my Squadron….at about 5,000 feet…..At 19.30 hours I heard a warning given by the W/Cdr. leading my Sqdn, about two F.W.190's, and then I heard that they broke away at full speed…..I dived to sea level and I noticed 5 F.W.190's in line….I followed them at sea level for about 4 minutes, having behind me 3 Spits. of my Section led by F/O Gladych. The F.W.190's then reduced speed and began to climb. I suppose they didn't expect to be followed all the time. I decided to attack the F.W. on the extreme right…..I pulled up and gave him a long burst from about 350 yards…..I observed a small explosion in the fuselage. The e[nemy] a[ircraft] made some uncontrolled moves and went into a spin and I saw him crash into the sea. The other Spits. of my section were behind me about 600 yards…..Being seen, and much lower than the F.W.'s we decided to set course for home. The F.W.'s didn't follow us. About 25 minutes later at 20.10 we landed at Coltishall….I claim 1 F.W.190 destroyed'. Neatly trimmed, VG

2007 Range Rover HSE TDV8 Transmission: automaticMileage:83500Having steadily increased in popularity since its beginnings in the late 1980s, the SUV really came of age in the 2000s. With around 20 years of development behind it, it had become something not only large and capacious but also fast and luxurious, and the Range Rover had come to represent the very best in the field, so much so that €˜Range Rover' and €˜SUV' are now almost synonymous. The third-generation Range Rover had been in production since 2001, and although it was a luxury model in its own right equipped with a powerful BMW V8, Land Rover decided it could be better yet. Enter the Sport. Hitting the roads in 2005, the more aggressive-looking Range Rover Sport was actually adapted from the Discovery 3's semi-monocoque chassis, but in terms of performance and refinement it was a true Range Rover. Various V8 engines to meet different needs were installed in the Sport, with an automatic gearbox as standard. Available from 2007, the TDV8 designation denoted the 3.6 litre twin turbodiesel V8, which produced 268bhp and would push the car to 130mph, with a 0-62mph time of 8.6s. It was available in HSE trim level only.This very tidy example of this practical and powerful SUV is presented in black with black leather interior. It comes with satellite navigation, heated electric memory seats, electric folding mirrors, adaptive cruise control and a Harman Kardon sound system. Although able to be used as a tow vehicle, this actual 4x4 has never had a tow bar fitted which means that no stress has been placed on its V8 engine. It has had 12 stamps in the service book with its last service being carried out at 78,000. These are great €˜work horses' or tourers but either way, this cars' powerful TDV8 engine provides terrific performance and it is being sold without reserve, what an opportunity!

1955 Cadillac Coupe de Ville Transmission: automaticMileage:73556The Cadillac Series 40-62 was produced by Cadillac from 1940 through 1964. Originally designed to complement the entry level Series 65, it became the Cadillac Series 6200 in 1959, and remained that until it was renamed to Cadillac Calais for the 1965 model year. The Series 62 included a lower sleeker body, a new cellular grille insert and inverted gullwing front bumpers and tapered Dagmar style bumper guards. Round jet style dual exhaust outlets were incorporated into the vertical bumper extensions and the rear bumper was entirely redesigned. The Series 62 could be distinguished by the lack of rear fender louvers. Tubeless tires were a new standard Cadillac feature and sales reached a record 118,190, accounting for nearly 84% of all Cadillac's sold. Standard equipment included back-up lights, turn signals and automatic transmission. Mechanics rated the 0-60 mph time as 17.3 seconds at the time and air conditioning was provided by Frigidaire optionally and consisted of a self-contained unit that was retrofitted at the customers request.Presented in Champagne over Silver gunmetal, this well-known and respected Cadillac Coupe de Ville has been owned and loved by its current owner since 2012, it is published in American Car magazine that the owner even re-mortgaged her house in order to purchase this example! Nicknamed €˜King' (Elvis too had a 1955 Coupe de Ville), to say this is a cherished example would be somewhat of an understatement with the owner and the car frequenting many car shows together and on occasion winning best in show. In 2014 it was decided €˜King' required some engine work and thus the vendor researched long and hard and after numerous recommendations settled upon Kevin of Zodiac Motor Services, the work as it turned out was obviously very good as the pair have since married and have enjoyed car shows together! As a side note the vendor never had to pay for the full engine rebuild but it is documented in the history file alongside the story of the purchase within the four page feature in American Car magazine. Also found within the history file are the original manuals and a photo book of the body restoration alongside the UK V5C registration document. It must be stressed that many 50's Cadillacs lack the credentials to lace the boots of TSY 305 and we feel this estimate is very good value for such an iconic car in great all-round condition and especially with the assurance of a relatively recent full engine rebuild.

1930 Austin Seven Van Transmission: manualMileage:4850The Austin Seven was produced from 1922 through to 1939 and nicknamed the 'Baby Austin'. It was one of the most popular cars ever produced and sold equally well abroad. It wiped out most other British small cars and cycle cars of the early 1920's and its effect on the British market was similar to that of the Model T Ford in the USA. Prior to the Austin Seven though, larger cars were the order of the day but the forward thinking of Sir Herbert Austin felt a smaller car would be more popular. Austin put a large amount of his own money into the design and patented many of its innovations. In return for the investment, he was paid a royalty of two guineas on every car sold. Nearly 2,500 cars were made in the first year of production (1923), not as many as hoped, but within a few years the 'big car in miniature' had transformed the fortunes of the Austin Motor Co. and by 1939, when production finally ended, over 290,000 cars and vans had been manufactured.Built in 1930, this charming Austin painted in brown and cream bodywork, with contrasting black wings and cream wheels, looks delightful from every angle. The simple interior boasts a Smiths speedometer, amperes gauge and black seats. Sign written €˜R.G. Moriarty', a butcher in Theydon Bois, this utterly charming van even boasts ornamental meats hanging in the back! Believed to have been converted into a van from a standard car, the history file points to plenty of love and attention being given to the car along with a charming picture of one owner posing with this granddaughter and the van outside the butcher's it is sign written to advertise.The car is supplied with a UK V5C registration document, owner's handbook, file of receipts and many past MoT test certificates and tax discs. Whether as a fantastic entry level vehicle to classic motoring or as a promotional vehicle for your business, this little Austin Seven van oozes charm.

1950 Jaguar XK120 Roadster Ex-Duncan Hamilton Transmission: manualMileage:3675The Jaguar XK120 was manufactured between 1948 and 1954 and was their first sportscar since the SS100 which ceased production in 1940. It was launched in roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a show car for the new Jaguar XK engine. It caused a sensation thus persuading Jaguar founder and design boss, William Lyons, to put the car into production. The '120' in its name referred to its top speed which made the XK120 the world's fastest standard production car at the time of its launch. It was available in two open versions; first as the roadster, then also as a drophead Coupé from 1953 and also as a closed, or 'fixedhead' Coupé, from 1951. With alloy cylinder heads and twin side-draft SU carburettors, the double overhead-cam 3.4 litre straight-six XK engine was comparatively advanced for a mass-produced unit of the time. With a standard compression ratio of 8:1, it developed 160bhp.This is no ordinary Jaguar XK120. Chassis number 660332 was raced in period by Duncan Hamilton.Manufactured on 22nd November 1950 and delivered via Henlys of London to its first owner, a Mr. Philip Fotheringham-Parker a little over two weeks later bearing the registration number LXF 731.Fotheringham-Parker was an amateur racing driver of the immediate pre and post-war years combining sufficient levels of wealth, talent and enthusiasm to enjoy a respectable level of success in both national and international events. His friend Duncan Hamilton, an ex-Lysander pilot was building his reputation as a very competitive racing driver. XK120's were proving to be successful after their competition debut at Silverstone in 1949. Hence the reason why Fotheringham-Parker purchased one. When he took delivery of LXF 731 in late 1950 he lent it to Hamilton who proceeded to race it at national and international events throughout 1951 and so began a very fruitful relationship between the Jaguar marque and Duncan Hamilton, gaining victories with the Works team at Le Mans in 1953 and Rheims in 1956. The first recorded event for LXF 731 was the one-hour production car race at the Daily Express Silverstone Trophy Meeting held on 5th May 1951. With Hamilton at the wheel, LXF 731 came home in third place behind Stirling Moss and Charles Dodson. The next outing at the Portuguese Grand Prix on 17th June was less successful with Hamilton retiring, he soon made amends by securing two victories in the XK120 at Boreham in the Williams Lyons Trophy race and the Unlimited Race on 11th August 1951.In later years the car found its way to Northern Ireland where it was purchased by David Bazire. The car was fully restored in 2011 to its early race specification and has since been maintained regardless of cost as is evident from its current immaculate presentation. The car was sold by JD Classics in 2014 for £1,250,000 and we understand that during the last few years, LXF 731 has successfully completed the Mille Miglia on two occasions and the Le Mans Legends Support Race. A comprehensive history file accompanies the Jaguar, including correspondence between Bazire and Hamilton. This is a hugely important historical car, both from Jaguar Cars point of view and from the immensely charismatic and successful works driver Duncan Hamilton.Period Race History19515th MayTrack: Silverstone, Daily Express Trophy MeetingRace: 1 hour Production Car raceDriver: Duncan Hamilton.

1964 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda Transmission: manualMileage:33000The Mercedes-Benz W113 roadsters, designed by Paul Bracq, were produced from 1963 through to 1971 and were known as the 'Pagoda roof' SL. All models boast an inline six-cylinder engine with multi-port fuel injection. Rear wheel drive configuration was complemented by independent rear suspension, a feature that greatly improved road handling. The 230 SL made a remarkable debut at the prestigious Geneva Motor Show in March 1963 where the famous German engineer Fritz Nallinger introduced it as follows It was our aim to create a very safe and fast sports car with high performance which, despite its sports characteristics, provides a very high degree of travelling comfort. This Mercedes-Benz 230SL Pagoda was originally registered in 1964 in the US and was imported to the UK from Florida in 2008. Owned by our vendor since 2012 and presented in burgundy paintwork which matches the supplied colour from new and has lovely €˜as new carpeting' complimented by its black trim. Restored circa four years ago and presenting in similar condition today, this example boasts the desirable manual gearbox and is offered with over £40,000 in receipts. It benefits from new brake and suspension components, new complete exhaust and new tyres (all done less than 500 miles ago). Since passing its MoT in March this year, the vendor has been driving and enjoying whilst having any final work completed. Within the history file, you will find the latest receipts reflecting in April of this year a sum of £900 has been spent on having the servo overhauled, an engine fuel and air ratio adjustment for £751.43 in July and finally in September this year, the latest receipt for £3405.16 which shows the engine timing chain and adjuster were replaced. The engine timing and vacuum advance have been set up and the alternator overhauled. This work was carried out by renowned classic Mercedes specialists Colin Ferns ltd, showing a good level of care for what has been a joy for our client to drive over the summer months. Supplied with both soft and hardtops, this is a very desirable manual Pagoda which is offered at an extremely realistic price. A perfect example ready for a European tour perhaps or 2023's long summer days motoring

Jewad Selim (Iraq, 1919-1961)Pitcher ceramic sculpturesigned 'J.S' and dated '1949' (on the base), executed in 194920 x 11cm (7 7/8 x 4 5/16in).Footnotes:A highly significant 1949 ceramic work by Jewad Selim exhibited at the Institute of Fine Arts, BaghdadProvenance:Property from a private collection, EnglandFormerly property from the collection of the renowned Iraqi architect Said Ali Madhloom (1921-2017)Acquired directly from the artist by the aboveExhibited:Fourth exhibition of the Baghdad Modern Art group, April 13 - 19, 1956, Institute of Fine Art, Baghdad'My heaviest burden is to decide how to divide my energy between painting and sculpture. I think that someday I must give up one of them because my creative ability is split between the two. I am thinking of giving up painting for good.''- Jewad SelimThe present work is a highly important ceramic composition by Jewad Selim which shows the confluence of various styles and influences on his work in the late 1940's when the artist had completed his artistic education in Europe and was returning to his native Baghdad. While at Slade (1946-49) Jewad witnessed the huge emergence of studio pottery in Britain which left a profound impression on his practices. Studio potters such as Bernard Leach aimed to raise the profile and reputation of pottery to a level where it would be regarded as equal to painting and sculpture.For Jewad there was something singular about the opportunities that working with clay provided for his creative process. Appreciating the plastic and technical possibilities of three-dimensional forms, he approached ceramic production in a more playful and whimsical manner. The work contains deliberate references not only to the playful 20th century pottery compositions of artists like Picasso, but to a Millenia old ceramic tradition in the Middle East where the production of drinking vessels (rhyton) and pottery idols would often incorporate exaggerated phallic and fertility symbols as well as zoomorphic and anthropomorphic elements, highlighting the seamless integration of function and creativity which characterised ancient craft production.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

RARE METHUSELAH OF 1983 MAS DE DAUMAS GASSAC (6ltr) Vin de Pays de L'Herault, Languedoc, presented in its original wooden case complete with a magazine article of the estate by Connoisseur Magazine dated May 1985, one of just twelve 1985 Methuselah bottled by the estateProvenance:private collection from Vale of Glamorgan, passive storage, consigned via our Cardiff officeAuctioneer's Note:First planted by the Romans, the vineyards of Languedoc-Roussillon have enjoyed a chequered history. By the 1980's, when this extraordinary wine was made, the area was infamous for growing vast amounts of commercial, over-cropped fruit, producing coarse, dilute wines often bolstered with more robust wines from Algria and Spain. At its qualitative nadir, the region was responsible for staggering 10% in the planets wine production!Encouraged by a geology report from Professor Henri Enjelbert, Veronique Guilbert de la Vassiere and husband Aime, new owners of an abandoned farmhouse (Mas) once owned by the Daumas family and close to the Gassac river, embarked on a journey to create a 'Grand Cru' wine of the region. Slowly, around 8 hectares were planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Tannat, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Pinot Noir, and with the aid of oenologist Emile Peynaud the first fruit was harvested in 1978. By the early 80's the wine started to appear in Parisian bistros, and just a few years later in 1982 the influential French magazine Gault & Millau described Mas de Daumas Gassas as 'the Lafite of the Languedoc', with Jane MacQuitty proclaiming 'actually, more like Latour'. The rest, as they say, is history.Condition Report:damage to wax seal and minor signs of seepage, however the ullage level is excellent at in-neck. Both front and rear labels are in good condition

One of the 90 examples finished by Ford in the more refined road car specification and just 7,800 miles from new.Ask any rally fan to name their favourite era and chances are that the wild Group B years will be at the top of most people’s list. It was a time of uncompromising and completely unhinged machinery, with designers and engineers really pushing the edge of the envelope when it came to interpreting the rules and endowing these four-wheel-drive turbocharged monsters with the maximum possible performance. Perhaps the wildest of them all was Ford’s RS200 and where the Audi Quattro, Peugeot 205 T16 and even the Lancia Delta S4 were very obviously derived from their more mundane production cousins, Ford took a different route, designing and building a Group B car that looked – and drove – like no other Ford before or since.Ford had, of course, been part of the rallying furniture ever since the rear-drive Escort made its debut, but as the WRC entered the Group B era, it found itself without a machine to compete at this level. Unusually for Ford, the solution proved elusive and, with the Escort RS1700T failing miserably, they were forced to return to the drawing board and start all over again. The result was the RS200, however, they had now become ‘late starters' and were effectively three years behind. The car was styled by Ghia and, unusually, the bodywork for the majority of cars was entrusted to Reliant of Shenstone, a company who knew a fair bit about building fibreglass cars. The chassis engineering was looked after by F1 gurus Tony Southgate and John Wheeler. Naturally, four-wheel drive was essential and it was built around a space-frame chassis, Kevlar bodywork, and a potent mid-mounted engine courtesy of well-proven race engine builder Brian Hart. Add to this an innovative front-mounted gearbox for better weight distribution and balance, plus a variable torque-split differential from Ferguson, and you have a serious rally car. The RS200’s mid-mounted engine was a development of the RS1700T’s, but capacity was increased to 1803cc with a bore and stroke of 86.0 and 77.62mm respectively. It featured Ford/Bosch injection, and with an 8.2:1 compression ratio allied with a Garrett turbocharger in road-going trim it developed 246bhp at 6500-7000rpm and a maximum torque output of 215lb ft at 4000-5000rpm. The rally cars had significantly more to play with – 444bhp at a screaming 8000rpm and 361lb ft at 5500rpm.It looked like Ford finally had the package to win and things were looking promising after Kalle Grundell came home third in the Swedish Rally of 1986, however, the fickle finger of fate was soon to be pointed at Group B. After a series of tragedies with both drivers and spectators being killed, it became obvious that 600bhp, lightweight rally cars being threaded at three-figure speeds through banks of standing spectators was not the way forward and the decision was taken by the FIA to pull the plug on Group B at the end of the ‘86 season. As a result, after just one year in competition, it was all over for the RS200 so it never got to show off its full potential, however, it did prove that it had enormous promise with many of the cars being spectacularly successful in Rallycross particularly in the hands of Norwegian Martin Schanche.FIA Homologation Rules for Group B required the construction of at least 200 road-legal vehicles, however, the demise of Group B meant that only 144 were completed. Of these, 20 were further developed and sold as the RS200 Evolution with a 2.1-litre power unit, a number were disassembled for spares, and records indicate that 90 were converted to road cars with improved build quality and a number of creature comforts.In the true tradition of RS Fords, Silverstone Auctions are proud to offer this RS200 as one of the 90 cars Ford returned to the more refined road specification. Well documented, it was supplied by Frews of Perth, one of the nine Rallye Sport Dealers in Scotland, to Mr Brian Holmes in Derbyshire who was the former Managing Director of Chesterfield-based Auto Windscreens, which probably explains why it comes with a new boxed spare windscreen. The RS joined his Collection which included an RS500, also supplied by Frews. It was fitted with the 300bhp upgrade, a multi-light grille lamp-pod, full competition Sabelt harnesses and finished in Ford Motorsport’s iconic blue and white livery.The RS200 remained with the Holmes family until 2010 and had still only covered around a 1,000 miles when it was entrusted to RS200 expert Geoff Page for a total engine refresh. The work is fully documented in the history file. It revisited GPR again in October 2012 for a throttle pot and full spanner check before being exported to a collector in Japan. He decided to reduce his collection and it returned to the UK last month with an indicated mileage of 7,794. It's supplied with the original alloys, spare screen, light-pod cover, original exhaust and its factory owner's manual.Group B rally cars with the cachet of the RS200 seldom come to market and, with its solid timeline and lovely condition, this is a super example and we welcome and encourage your close inspection.If this lot remains in the UK it will be subject to a reduced rate of import duty of 5% on the hammer price.  SpecificationMake: FORDModel: RS 200Year: 1988Chassis Number: SFACXXBJ2CGL00118Registration Number: F666 MSLTransmission: ManualEngine Number: GL00118 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images

The rare and desirable 'Side Oil Fill' 2.4S.The first of countless upgrades to the perennial 911 came in 1966, two years after production had commenced, with the introduction of the 911S. Easily distinguishable by its stylish Fuchs five-spoked alloy wheels, the 'S' featured a heavily revised engine producing 160bhp. In 1967 the 911T (Touring) was introduced as a new base model, initially with the 2.0-litre engine in 110bhp form before adopting the 2.2-litre unit along with the rest of the range in 1969, by which time the 911's wheelbase had been extended by 57mm to tame the sometimes wayward handling.Such was the 911's success that within a few years Porsche was selling cars faster than it could build them, a state of affairs that led to a substantial proportion being manufactured by coachbuilder Karmann at its Osnabrook factory. By this time the models on offer had stabilised at three: the entry-level 911T, middle-ranking 911E, and top-of-the-range 911S, all of which were available as either a closed Coupé or Targa convertible. With the 2.2-litre engine's arrival, a common type of cylinder head was adopted, the differing power outputs being determined principally by valve timing rather than valve sizes as had been the case hitherto. In 1972, all 911 variants received the 2,341cc (nominally 2.4-litre) unit, which in 'S' specification produced around 190bhp, 60 more than the original 911 of 1963. For 1972, in addition to the larger engine, the' E' series had a further two revisions. An aggressive new front spoiler was incorporated below the bumper and in an attempt to move as much weight as possible towards the centre of the car, the oil tank was re-positioned inboard of the right rear wheel arch, resulting in the introduction of an external oil filler cap on the right-hand side rear wing behind a flap ('Oel Klappe'). The propensity for petrol station attendants to fill the oil tank with fuel, and the resulting warranty claims, quickly persuaded Porsche to change the design and 1972 'Oel Klappe' cars became difficult to sell, possibly resulting in their comparative scarcity today. As is often the case, that rarity has resulted in the 'Oel Klappe' cars now being the most sought after.The car on offer today is a left-hand drive 1972 2.4S finished in Sepia Brown with a black interior. It was originally supplied to Italy and following a number of years there, it was purchased by a Dutch enthusiast who retained the car until 2002 and looked after it well judging from the number of invoices on file from a Porsche specialist. The 911 arrived in the UK in 2002 and was obviously in largely original condition at the time as indicated in a pre-purchase inspection report completed by Andy Prill.The 911 has remained in the UK ever since 2002, passing through a few Porsche collectors over the past 20 years, who all used well known Porsche specialists during their ownerships such as Gantspeed, Autostrasse, Autofarm and Peter Chambers Automotive with invoices on file detailing the work carried out on the car over this period of time.In more recent years, under current private ownership, the 2.4S has been entrusted to the renowned Classic Porsche restoration specialists, Historika, who carried out a full £20K plus engine rebuild in 2021, again with invoices on file detailing the extensive work.This 2.4S really is in super condition with good detail yet retains a really nice original feel. Reported to drive well and has clearly been sorted and well set-up offering all those wonderful 911 qualities that make these early cars so addictive.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911Year: 1972Chassis Number: 9112300845Registration Number: NADrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDClick here for more details and images

A RARE AND LARGE 'LADIES AND BOYS' WUCAI DISHYu tang jia qi mark, ShunzhiFinely potted with deep rounded sides rising from a short foot ring, the interior exquisitely decorated with two ladies and five boys, one lady carries a young boy in her arms while the other with her back to us plays with a Cassia flower, one boy hiding behind a lady humorously pulling his face at the viewer, another two boys playing with a drum gaze in the distance, all within a balustraded garden with large craggy rocks and prunus, a three character inscription reading tanhua lang 'The Flower Snatching Gentleman', the underside of the dish with maker's mark in underglaze blue within a double circle. 33cm (13in) diam.Footnotes:清順治 五彩仕女嬰戲圖盤青花「玉堂佳器」楷書款Provenance: S. Marchant & Son, London, 27 September 2005來源：倫敦古董商 S. Marchant & Son，2005年9月27日The painting on the present lot has multiple allusions to examination success. It is particularly remarkable however, for the humorous twist the craftsmen took in making the child behind the lady pull his face at the viewer; making a common trope of hopeful wishes for examination success into something unique. The image shows a lady plucking a cassia flower before the child held up to her. To 'pluck the cassia' was a euphemism for passing the Imperial civil service examinations. The phrase has its origins from the biography of Xi Shen (郤詵, exact dates unknown) in the Book of Jin (晉書), an official history of the Jin dynasty (266-420). Xi Shen was sent to Yongzhou as a Provincial Governor, but before he journeyed, Emperor Wu of Jin (236-290) asked him: 'how does our minister [i.e. you] consider yourself? [for the role]'. Xi replied saying: 'I, your servant, esteem virtue and am good at strategies in running a state, [I am] first under heaven, like a branch from the forest of cassia, or jade from Kunlun'. The link between plucking flowers and examination success is further reinforced by the inscription on the dish reading 'The Flower Snatching (or Plucking) Gentleman' (tanhua lang 探花郎). Tanhua was the title given to the third highest ranking candidate in the examination for the jinshi ('presented scholar') degree, the highest level. Zhuangyuan (literally meaning 'top thesis author') was the title given to the highest scoring candidate, while Bangyan (literally 'eyes positioned alongside') was the title awarded to the second highest scoring. The child reaching out for the flower held by the woman is literally a 'flower snatcher' or tanhua, embodying the hopes of later achieving examination success.

Marchant & Son，《Chinese Blue and White - Wanli to K'ang Hsi》，1980年，編號71Han Xin 韓信 (died 196 BC) was a military general who served Liu Bang 劉邦 (died 195 BC) in founding the Han dynasty. Initially, Liu Bang was not impressed with Han Xin and put him in charge of food supplies. After a while, Han Xin became discontented and attempted to desert under the cover of darkness. Xiao He 蕭何 (died 193 BC), one of Liu Bang's chief advisers, recognised Han Xin's talent, however, and heard that he left. Xiao He immediately chased after Han Xin to bring him back, whereupon Han Xin was promoted to the rank of general. According to some versions of the story, Xiao He was able to catch up to Han Xin because the rise in water level prevented Han from crossing the river. In the Jin dynasty, Jin Renjie wrote the play 'Xiao He Chasing after Han Xin under the Moon' in which Xiao He invited Han Xin for a boat ride after catching up with him; several other Ming dynasty versions of the story also existed. The original story, recorded in Sima Qian's Shiji (史記), would have resonated strongly with many scholar-officials during the late Ming dynasty, who felt their talents to serve in the government were not being appreciated under the waning Ming empire.

After viewing successive Matisse exhibitions at Bernheim-Jeune, Paris in 1922, 1923 and 1924, Hunter had been more than ready to push forward. When he re-located to Provence in the South France in 1927, it inspired a life-affirming liberation of his own sense of bold colour, form and pattern. By late summer 1928 he was feeling confident that his work had reached the kind of level that would benefit from showing in New York, where he knew Matisse, Picasso et al were gaining a significant following. He was also free to organise it himself as crucially his contract with art dealers Reid & Lefèvre exempted him from paying commission to them where the United States was concerned.Gathering together his best work, he sent it in advance to Arthur. On 19 November 1928, he sailed to New York to reside with Arthur and his family for six months while he scouted for a gallery to exhibit his work. Peploe and Fergusson had recently shown at Kraushaar Art Galleries, but it was Ferargil Galleries who specialised primarily in American art that offered Hunter his much longed-for solo exhibition in New York. In the meantime, Hunter's compulsion to paint continued and this he carried out in Arthur's apartment. According to Arthur's daughter Peggie, The Blue Teacup was painted there.The Ferargil exhibition opened in April 1929 to much fanfare and enthusiastic newspaper reviews including in The New York Times by no less than Lloyd Goodrich (1897-1987) who went on to become Director of The Whitney Museum of American Art.Will Irwin (1873-1948), Hunter's friend from San Francisco days, a journalist of international renown wrote the introduction to the catalogue. He commented on meeting Hunter over the years in New York, Paris, London and Glasgow:'I had laughed with him many times over these recurrent meetings of ours before I realised how much the boy I knew and starved with in San Francisco was coming to mean in modern art.'(Bill Smith and Jill Marriner, Hunter Revisited, the Life and Art of Leslie Hunter, Atelier Books, Edinburgh, 2012, p.151)The Blue Teacup, is very much Hunter's bold statement that he has arrived in his naturalised country demonstrating a firm grip on what it means to be modern. And this was in no small part, thanks to the unfailing support of his cousin Arthur Leyden.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

c.1981 Villa-Sebring 125Registration no. not registeredFrame no. FV-S*4073* DGM0M50957Engine no. FV125S4064Brothers Francesco and Walter Villa began building their own machines in the mid-1960s. Walter raced Villa bikes before his rise to stardom, securing three consecutive 250-class World Championships for Harley-Davidson between 1974 and '76, to which he added one in the 350 class. Manufactured up to 1988, the firm's lightweight roadsters used proprietary engines at first, while its successful moto-cross and enduro models used motors of Villa's own design. From the early 1980s the roadsters featured water-cooled engines of Villa's own manufacture, such as the Seebring offered here (idiosyncratic spelling is correct).The production Seebring's cockpit fairing was mounted directly on the front fork while this one's is fixed to the frame, as seen on the later version of this model: the Daytona. It also has a low exhaust pipe, whereas the standard Seebring had a high-level pipe. Probably this is a pre-production machine built for a trade show prior to the start of series production in 1982. Noteworthy features include reed-valve induction, a six-speed gearbox, Motoplat electronic ignition, mono-shock rear suspension, disc front brake and 18' alloy wheels. We are advised that the machine has been homologated but is not licensed. Purchased by the vendor at the Bonhams Spring Stafford Sale 2016 (Lot 230), it has been dry stored since and is offered with a NOVA declaration.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1936 Rudge 248cc SportsRegistration no. UJ 7686Frame no. 57852Engine no. T1317Motorcycle manufacturers from 1910 to 1939, Rudge were renowned for championing the four-valves-per-cylinder engine layout, employing it for the first time on a 250 in 1931, its previous offerings in the class having used two-valve JAP engines. The contemporary 350's fully-radial valve arrangement was used for the new quarter-litre Rudge, rather than the semi-radial arrangement of the sports and racing 500s or the parallel layout preferred for the touring Special. The Rudge 250 was unusual for its day in having coil ignition, though a magneto became optional later and was standard issue on the works racers and the TT Replica. A two-valve Tourist version joined the existing four-valve Sports 250 for 1935 and became the Rapid the following year when it adopted the marque's characteristic coupled brakes. With the deletion of the four-valver at the end of 1936, the Rapid became the sole 250 in the range (a new Sports version with high-level exhaust was added for 1938) and the only Rudge to retain the left-side gear pedal to the end. Sold strictly as viewed, this four-valve Sports was purchased from Bonhams' sale of the Geeson Brothers' Collection in March 2003 (Lot 231). Offered from the collection of noted collector, the late Ken Senior, the machine comes with an old-style continuation logbook; a copy old V5; and an old-type V5C document. Offered without keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of the late Warrick Blackwell c.1969 Yamaha 350cc 'TR2' (see text)Frame no. TR2-90032 (see text)Engine no. R3-900179The mainstay of 250cc and 350cc class racing at national and international level for many years, the twin-cylinder two-stroke Yamaha well deserved the title of 'privateer's friend'; indeed, without it, grids in these classes would have been depleted in extremis during the 1970s. The 250cc TD2 arrived in 1969, replacing the TD1C, and immediately proved capable of winning Grands Prix, privateer Kent Andersson triumphing in the German round at Hockenheim that year, one of Yamaha's most significant classic victories. The giant leap forward from the TD1C had been achieved thanks to a comprehensive redesign that saw the engine porting and exhaust system updated; superior Mikuni carburettors adopted; and the chassis, suspension and brakes greatly improved. Looking like a scaled down Manx Norton Featherbed, the TD2's chassis was a development of that used for the RD56 works racer of 1963. Broadly similar as far as its frame and cycle parts were concerned, the 350cc TR2 differed mainly by virtue of its different porting and horizontally-split crankcases, a feature not introduced on the 250 until the arrival of the TD3 in 1972. A TR2's six-digit frame and engine numbers should match, and both should be prefixed 'R3'. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the provenance and correctness of this motorcycle and its component parts prior to bidding. The machine comes with a quantity of instruction manuals and is sold strictly as viewed. Its history and usage are not known.
