Mel Crawford (Canadian, B. 1925) "Great Seal of California" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This paintingis the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood Great Seal of the State of California Commemorative Cover issued September 9, 1984. "Eureka" -- "I have found it!" -- heads the Great State Seal of California. And truly, this state motto has been oft applied. For California has offered her people riches untold, not just in the tons of gold extracted from her soil, but also in the majesty of her mountains, the glory of her sea, and the warmth of her sun. Her state seal reflects all this as the Goddess Minerva emerges full grown from the brain of Jupiter -- symbol of the birth of the state without ever having gone through territoriality. As Goddess of Arts and Sciences, Minerva also honors wisdom. A Grizzly bear -- sign of strength and power -- crouches beneath her, eating ravenously from a grapevine -- fruit of the land. To her left, a miner with his tools recognizes the golden riches of the state, and the industry of its people, while a sheaf of wheat honors those who chose agricultural pursuit. A backdrop of glorious masted ships sailing peacefully among the towering Sierra Nevada Mountains gives due homage to the commerce and the natural blessings of California. Thirty-one stars recognize California's admission to the Union in 1850 as the thirty-first state. Image Size: 12 x 12 in. Overall Size: 15 x 15 in. Unframed. (B08661)

Not for the faint hearted.Essentially a street-legal drag car, powered by 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI SRT V8. 840bhp and 717 ft.-lbs of torqueAll this power is fed through an eight-speed automatic transmission with steering-mounted paddle-shiftImported through Clive Sutton to its one and only owner in 2018 at a cost of £136,950. Presented in Pitch Black Clear Coar (PX9) with Demon Logo Laguna/Alcantara seats in blackOther options include ‘Customer-preferred package 26M’, monotone paint, rear leather seat option, comfort audio group, Demon vehicle storage packageRed seat belts, truck carpet kit, left-hand drive and accompanied by the coveted serialized Demon Crate of parts, a staggering $1 option (tools, skinny wheels etc. all parts needed for the drag strip!)The Demon is capable of thundering past 60mph in just 1.9 seconds prior to going through the quarter mile in 9.14 seconds at 152mphThis menacing example has covered a remarkable 245 miles only from new. An extremely rare and exciting opportunity, especially in the UK, to acquire a simply amazing American muscle carIn common with most US car builders, all searching through their back catalogues for ideas, Dodge reintroduced the Challenger in 2008 as their contribution to the industry’s retro-inspired muscle-car renaissance. Drawing largely from the 1970 Challenger R/T, the new Challenger had a wide, menacing stance and was available in a variety of bespoke colours and with a selection of powerful engines, highlighted by the 425bhp, SRT8. It was an instant hit with MOPAR fans who had been waiting years for a new Challenger.The first face-lift was in 2015, with the high-performance SRT8 replaced by the SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat. The Hellcat was claimed to generate an astonishing 707bhp and was capable of thundering up to 60 mph in only 3.6 seconds on its way to 199 mph. However, the Hellcat was just the beginning of Dodge’s foray in the contemporary horsepower wars.In April 2017, at the New York Auto Show, Dodge debuted the Challenger SRT Demon. Essentially a road-legal drag car, the Demon was powered by 6.2-litre, supercharged HEMI V-8 putting out an incredible 840bhp and 717 foot-pounds of torque, the sort of numbers that would normally apply to a small ocean liner. A redesigned, eight-speed HP90 automatic transmission was created to deal with the power and gear changes could be summoned through steering-mounted paddles. The Demon is capable of screaming past 60 mph in just 1.9 seconds (about half the time it takes to read this sentence) prior to going through the quarter-mile in 9.14 seconds at 152 mph.This, left-hand drive, 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is a one-owner example and has covered just 245 miles from new. Ordered and imported new through Clive Sutton at a cost of £136,950, this special car has been tastefully specified in Pitch Black Clear Coat (PX9) with Demon Logo Laguna/Alcantara seats in black. This Demon even retains its yellow front-splitter shipping protector, which has become a popular item to preserve and offers a stylish bit of flair.Other options include ‘Customer-preferred package 26M’, 6.2-litre Supercharged HEMI V8 SRT engine, 8-spd auto HP90 transmission, monotone paint, rear leather seat option, comfort audio group – leather seats, Demon vehicle storage package, Red seat belts and boot carpet kit.Importantly the car is accompanied by the coveted 'Demon Crate' of parts, a staggering $1 no-brainer option which includes everything required to convert the car on a short-term basis to a Dragster. Please note, this crate will be available to collect from our vendor's storage after the auction.In summary, this is an extremely rare and exciting opportunity, especially in the UK, to acquire a simply amazing American muscle car, offering collector quality and unbelievable performanceSpecificationMake: DODGEModel: CHALLENGER DEMONYear: 2018Chassis Number: 2C3CDZH90JH102215Registration Number: KF18 HNCMake: Click here for more details and images

Offered directly from the collection of Richard Hammond, this is a lovely, five-owners from new, example of Bentley's game-changing S2.Standard Steel S2 from 1959 looking fabulous in Silver Blue over Midnight BlueSubject to extensive bodywork refurbishment in the recent pastThe gearbox was replaced two years ago. New tyres fairly recently The current indicated mileage is in the region of 63,000 Supplied with some original tools, torch etc., photographs of the refurb, an old log book, Chassis build-sheet and its V5 As the sixties approached, Bentley turned to V8 power as a way of keeping up with its luxury rivals, especially in America. A radical change was on the cards in 1959 as Bentley felt their faithful straight-six engine was getting a bit 'long in the tooth' and in the search for a more modern power unit, they turned to the General Motors-inspired 6,230cc, all-aluminium V8. The new engine was an entirely new departure for Bentley and caused some consternation amongst traditional Bentley customers, however, in execution, their worries were short-lived, as the new power unit delivered more performance with unparalleled smoothness, creating a standard for the rest of the century and ultimately the 'S2' set the benchmark for others to follow.The extra power produced by the V8 enabled the Bentley to now exceed 110 mph, with a respectable 0-60 time of 10.9 seconds. Visually, the new model was near identical to the previous six-cylinder cars, but with a 120 mph speedo now fitted and a more suitable smaller steering wheel, as power steering was now standard. Additional advancements included fully automatic transmission, electrically operated ride-control and a redesigned and more flexible heating and fresh air ventilation system. Most Bentley S2s carried factory 'Standard Steel Saloon' coachwork, satisfying the company's commercial requirements, and in total 2,308 Bentley S2s slid quietly through the doors of the Crewe works. This delightful S2 dates from 1959 and has been enjoyed by five owners in total including our vendor, Richard Hammond. We understand that it's been subject to extensive bodywork refurbishment fairly recently to return the venerable Bentley to top form and it's now resplendent in its original colours of Silver Blue over Midnight Blue with an excellent blue hide interior. The gearbox was replaced two years ago and the current indicated mileage is in the region of 63,000 miles.We are advised that the tyres are recent and the car is accompanied by its original tools, torch etc. and photographs of the refurb, old log book and the Chassis build-sheet. The V5 has been applied for.

A delightfully restored example of the rare 1500 MGTF, the final iteration of MG's long-lived T-Series Midgets. #HDE43/6505 was exported to the USA, as were the vast majority of TFsHaving spent the last 20 years stored in a barn in Nevada, it was shipped back to the UK by its present owner in January 2019He owns a body shop and has returned the little MG to top formCompletely mechanically and cosmetically refreshed with a bare-metal respray in MG GreenAccompanied by its original tools, side screens, tonneau cover and its V5cLots of classic MG touches, octagonal instruments, beige 'Bakelite' wheel, chrome luggage rack, fly-off handbrakeA lovely example of a very rare car ready for its next owner to cherish and enjoyIntroduced in September 1953, the MG TF was based on the same chassis and mechanical components as the TD Mark II. The centre section of the body shell remained virtually the same as that of the TD but the most significant change was to adopt a sloping radiator grille that, for the first time, concealed a separate radiator. The bonnet also had a marked forward slope achieved by lowering the radiator shell by three and a half inches in relation to the scuttle top. The front wings were restyled to accommodate faired in headlamps instead of the traditional bolt on fixings on the wing stays as on the TD and the wings, in turn, were faired into the bonnet sides which all in all helped to create a new streamlined image. The rear of the car received some general restyling with modifications to the fuel tank and spare wheel mounting to help tidy up the overall appearance. The end result was very pleasing to the eye but still a little dated compared to the offerings of other manufacturers of the era. Initially the car was launched with the faithful 1250 cc XPAG engine that made its debut in the TB Midget back in 1939, however, late in the summer of 1954, a new 1466 cc engine was introduced to the TF designated XPEG. It was in the main very similar to its predecessor the XPAG TF. 'Siamesing' of the cylinders allowed a larger bore in the same block and with larger pistons, stronger con-rods and an increase in the compression ratio to 8.3:1, the new engine produced a meaningful 63 bhp which equated to a 10.5% increase in power. Externally there were no visual clues other than engine numbers to distinguish the two power units and there was little on the car to give away its identity as a TF 1500, other than two discreet 'TF 1500' motifs on each of the bonnet side panels and the addition of two rear reflectors. The larger power unit did give the TF a boost in sales mainly in the United States and out of the 3,412 TF 1500s produced, only a handful were sold in the UK. It is well known that Abingdon would rather not have produced the TF had the MGA project been given earlier approval, nonetheless the TF, and particularly the 1500 version have become one of the most desirable classic MGs of all time. An early production car, the chassis number, # HDE43/6505, denotes that it was exported to the USA after it came off the production line as were the vast majority of TFs. Having spent the last 20 years stored in a barn in Nevada, it was shipped back to the UK by its present owner in January 2019.Since then, ‘756 XVG’ has undergone a complete overhaul. The vendor lists his extensive efforts here:The brakes have been fully stripped, brake cylinders and shoes have been replaced. All wheel bearings have been removed and re-greasedThe wheels have been refurbed and tyres and tubes have been replaced. The track-rod ends have been replaced and wheel alignment carried outSuspension bushes have been replaced where required. The radiator has been fully restored and re-coredThe water hoses have all been uprated and replaced. A new thermostat and housing have been fittedAll cork engine gaskets have been replaced and the carburettors have been fully stripped, balanced, and rebuilt. The fan belt and spark plugs have been replaced.The steering bushes and engine mounts have also been replacedThe car has a four-speed gearbox and all fluids have been changed and the linkages have been upgraded. A new stainless steel upgraded exhaust has been fitted.The bodywork has been fully stripped back to bare metal (the panels showed no signs of rust or corrosion when stripped), and then re-painted in MG Green to give the car a refresh and eliminate some previous poor paintwork. The bodywork was finished off with a protective ceramic coatingThe wheels were also repainted in their original Satin SilverThe cockpit area has been tidied up – a new (original copy) steering wheel was sourced, but the original was also retained to be kept with the car.The clocks and dials have been restored and are all in full working order. The dash has been finished in the original satin colour.The seats, hood and carpets are all in pristine condition and have been thoroughly cleanedAll of this work has been carried out to a professional standard with the aim of preserving as much originality as possible and where original parts could not be repaired or restored, period counterparts have been diligently sourced.Remaining in left-hand drive and looking the part in its gleaming coat of MG Green, this lovely TF is supplied with a complete toolkit of original tools, side screens, a tonneau cover and is now UK registered as ‘756 XVG’. The 1500cc TF is a rare car over here with the vast majority heading Stateside and this pretty example is ready for its next owner to cherish and enjoy.NB: We welcome and encourage interested parties to book an appointment to come and see the car either at our storage facility before the sale or during the Silverstone Classic weekend itself.

A fully restored, HY pick-up, now UK-registered and ready to be enjoyed or promote that business.The versatile H-Type or HY van, in various configurations, was produced by the French automaker Citroën between 1947 and 1981Very evocative of the French 'joie de vivre' and ideal for food trucks, mobile bars, brand advertisingAn original configuration pick-up style HY vanDiscovered in a very original state in the South of France, bodywork was exceptional for its age and was still accompanied by its original tools and wheel-braceImported to the UK where it was fully restored by 'Autostore' of Cambridge, including a complete respray, a rebuilt engine (with new liners), and new brakes; passed its MOT just requiring new tyres, which it is now fitted withAll the hard work has been done, just needs a new owner to utilise its marketing potential The Citroën H Van is a light truck (or delivery van) produced between 1947 and 1981 and was developed as a simple front-wheel drive van after World War II. A total of 473,289 were produced in 34 years in factories in both France and Belgium but were not sold in the UK in right-hand drive.The engine, gearbox and many smaller parts are well known from other Citroën models; the headlights and speedometer were identical to the 2CV for many years. The distinctive corrugated body work was inspired by the German Junkers aircraft of the 1930s with the ribs providing strength without adding weight and requiring only simple, low-cost press tools. The flat body panels were braced on the inside by 'top hat' box sections at right angles to the ribs. Rear hinged 'suicide' cab doors were used until the end of production in 1981.The HY pickup-configuration van presented here is from 1970 and was discovered in an original state in the South of France; the bodywork was exceptional for its age and, remarkably, it was still accompanied by its original tools and wheel-brace. Imported by a friend of our vendor (our vendor subsequently fell for this characterful van and bought it) with the intention of using it for his building firm, adding a bit of PR as it was driven around London. After restoration, which included a full respray and engine rebuild, with respected engineers at 'Autostore' of Cambridge, it was deemed just too good for a builder’s run-around.It has been thoroughly enjoyed and attracted much attention wherever it goes, but our vendor is finding he has less time to use it. Professionally stored with Autostore since restoration, this is a fantastic classic vehicle, as iconic in its own way as the heralded Citroën DS, and will turn as many heads! Offered at ‘No Reserve’, this HY van would add brand awareness or presence to any business or make a great base for a French-themed carnival float!
