- Built for Hugh C. Hunter by R.R. Jackson of Brooklands fame with input from Zillwood `Sinbad' Milledge - Raced pre- and post-WW2 at Brooklands, Crystal Palace, Shelsey Walsh, Silverstone and Goodwood etc - Current ownership since 1990 with numerous HGPCA, VSCC and Goodwood Revival outings - Supercharged Alta DOHC engine, independent suspension and ENV pre-selector transmission - The subject of a feature article by Mick Walsh in Classic & Sports Car magazine Further Info: `I consider Geoffrey Taylor, the Alta's designer, as a sort of pre-war Colin Chapman ahead of his time and very concerned with lightness. And he designed and built virtually everything the engine, supercharger and chassis. I think the Alta's rigid chassis and independent suspension would have had much more influence if the war hadn't got in the way. It was very light - the car weighed 11.5cwt, less than the ERAs, the 4CLT Maserati or the MG and Riley specials it was up against. With a 2-litre engine it began to match, even sometimes beat the ERAs, which were the top voiturettes at the time' (F1 and Indy Car designer Len Terry, Motor Sport May 2001). Born into a wealthy family, Hugh Curling Hunter became altogether more serious about his racing during 1937 when, at the age of twenty-six, he bought a Frazer Nash-BMW 328 and Alta Voiturette Single-Seater. Designated chassis 62IS (I = Independent Suspension, S = Supercharged), the latter was delivered to R.R. Jackson's Brooklands premises as a kit of parts. An Alta owner himself, the famed tuner / special builder entrusted the project to his lead consultant Zillwood `Sinbad' Milledge who had proven adept at sorting suspension geometry, designing crankshafts / conrods / brake drums and crafting aerodynamic bodywork. Aside from Hugh Hunter's Alta, Milledge helped hone the Multi-Union, Appleton Special, Bentley Jackson and Freikaiserwagen among others. Sporting a higher headrest fairing and more enveloping silhouette than George Abecassis' similar Alta (chassis 61IS), Hugh Hunter's car yielded him a coveted Brooklands 120mph badge and also showed considerable pace at Crystal Palace and Shelsey Walsh. Campaigned throughout 1938 and into the following year before being supplanted in Hunter's affections by an ex-Mille Miglia winning Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B, chassis 62IS changed hands several times during WW2. Reputedly resident in a china shop for a while, the advent of peace saw J.H. Williams acquire the single-seater. Rebodied in the style of a post-WW2 Alta Grand Prix car with what is rumoured to have been factory assistance, chassis 62IS resumed its racing career at a variety of sprint and hillclimb venues not to mention such new circuits as Goodwood and Silverstone. Sold by Mr Williams to Basil Tye, the Alta is known to have belonged thereafter to Lady Mary Grosvenor (who campaigned it in 1.5 and 2.0 litre guises), Albert Wake, Frank Lockhart, Bill Little, Hugh Clifford, John Bateson, Vintage Racing Autos, Hugh Clifford (again), Peter and John Moores, John Pearson and Bob Jones before entering the current ownership during 1990. Extensively fettled thereafter - including the fitment of a more pre-WW2 looking body - chassis 62IS has enjoyed numerous outings with the Historic Grand Prix Cars' Association and Vintage Sports Car Club. Invited to participate in the first Goodwood Revival meeting some seventeen years ago, it has since contested the Goodwood Trophy for Grand Prix and Voiturette cars on several occasions the last being in 2010. Understood to displace over 2 litres, its four-cylinder DOHC Alta engine is allied to ENV four-speed pre-selector transmission. Not campaigned of late, the single-seater is nevertheless in running order and has recently been driven by Mick Walsh as part of a multi-page feature article due to appear in an upcoming issue of Classic & Sportscar magazine. Eligible for numerous prestigious events, this historic Alta is offered for sale with a spare set of wheels, expired FIA papers plus sundry other documentation and spares.

Spares include bodywork, long-range fuel tanks, wheels and gear ratios etc. Further Info: David Good had an impressive racing career. He annexed the 1961 British Hillclimb Championship driving a Cooper JAP 1100 before moving to seemingly ever more potent machinery, including a Group 7 Lola T70, F5000 McLaren M10B, F1 four-wheel-drive BRM P67 and DFV-powered Lyncar. These cars would have tested the resolve of even the most talented able-bodied racer, let alone one such as Good, who was born minus right forearm and hand, and therefore forced to change gear with his left hand while steering with his stump. This extraordinary driver was the first owner of Chevron B8 Chassis No.DBE38 and purchased the bright Yellow racer part way through the 1968 season to replace an older version of the same marque. By removing the road-going equipment that defined it as a GT car he was, at some venues, able to enter it as a sports racing car and therefore be eligible for championship points. At Great Auclum near Reading for example, he finished an astonishing 3rd overall among the single-seaters. At Loton Park he was only beaten by Peter Lawson in Good's old four-wheel-drive BRM. Presumably impressed, former hillclimb champion Lawson purchased the Chevron in order to go circuit racing in 1969. He had his first win at Rufforth in Yorkshire on the Easter Saturday and that was followed by several more in club events, but it's fair to say he was not as assured at going round in circles as up hills, and by 1970 the Chevron had passed to another renowned hillclimb exponent, Reg Phillips, the chairman of James Fairley Steels. Despite not treating his hillclimbing too seriously by this stage, the 55-year-old Phillips still finished third in that year's Shell Leaders Championship. For 1971 he converted it to sports racer specification courtesy of an open body produced by GP Metalcraft, and with it in this guise he notched up some impressive results against far more potent machinery. Nevertheless, before the end of the season, the Chevron seems to have passed briefly through the hands of former Works Cooper driver and keen hillclimber Mike MacDowel (though he apparently has no memory of this!) before becoming the property of Barry Greenaway of Hayes, Middlesex. It was in 1972, while Greenaway and Dave Wellings were giving the car a shakedown in a Snetterton event, that Wellings had a hefty shunt, finally landing upside down after two or three (he was apparently unsure exactly how many!) somersaults. It transpired the oil tank pressure relief valve had become blocked, causing the reservoir to burst and spray hot lubricant over the front tyres and brakes. The damaged Chevron then passed via Roger Andreason (later the MD of Chevron Cars) to Peter Hemming, who subsequently became the manager of actor Paul Newman's Can-Am racing team. Hemming quickly discovered the crumpled alloy body was beyond reasonable repair and instead converted the Chevron to accept a Scottish-built Gropa one. This open design had been created to allow the B8s to run in Group 6 events, but required strengthening of the sills in order to retain the right level of stiffness. Hemming discovered this the hard way and reported he could 'actually lift wheels while cornering'. In c.1974 he therefore sold the Gropa to an Italian in exchange for a Lancia Fulvia and a bag of Lira. Precisely which Italian is not now 100 percent clear, but it's thought to have been Enrico Grimaldi di Nixima. Whatever, the car, by now Dark Green in colour, then became the property of Italian collector Flavio Tullio. According to Flavio's son, Matteo, it was at this point the Gropa body and the chassis (ie DBE38) were separated, with the latter being sold to a currently unknown person in England and the former hung on Matteo's wall, where it reputedly remains to this day. The next appearance of #DBE38 was during 1982 when it was advertised for sale in Autosport magazine by Richard Thwaites of Huddersfield. As well as describing the car as a 'Chevron B8' his listing made mention of it being 'ex-Gropa but with complete new B8 bodywork' which tallies with Matteo Tullio's account. Thereafter, it was sold by David Parkinson of Otley, Yorks, to Gary Dunkerley of South Africa in the April of 1984. The car was reportedly described on the related invoice as 'CH/DBE 38' and the major items of hardware were accompanied by BMW engine No.1694748 and Hewland FT200 gearbox No.779. Dunkerley apparently recalls the car arriving in many pieces and devoid of all plumbing or electrics. Nevertheless he had it trackworthy by the second half of 1984 and continued to race it until early 1992, during which period he competed at all the major circuits in South Africa as well as in the street races organised by David Piper in 1988. He was successful too, winning the 1986 HRCR club championship. Once he'd ceased competing with it, Dunkerley stored the car until selling it to Simon Leighton of Staines Middlesex in March 2004. Having repatriated the Chevron, Leighton entrusted it to Ian Jones' Racing Fabrications business, where it was fully restored in Yellow, as raced by David Good all those years before. He then campaigned the car from 2006 to 2009. It was at this point that it was acquired by the vendor, Nick Fleming, who first drove it in the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park. He has subsequently won the HSCC Autosport 3-Hour race an unprecedented three times with the B8, as well as the HSCC Guards Trophy Championship and several individual events of note - not least the Spa Summer Classic of July 2013, at which it topped a podium of B8s and finished 2mins 20secs ahead of its nearest rival. Meticulously prepared for each event by Jones, this car has been incredibly well looked after and is very well known around the historic paddock. It is still fitted with its Spa-winning Lester Owen engine, and is on-the-button and ready to race. DBE38 comes complete with long range fuel tanks that can be dropped in with minimal work, the original Gulf-liveried South African bodywork, and a number of other spares such as wheels gear ratios etc. In a 'Statement of Authenticity', Allen Brown, to whom we are grateful for the foregoing facts and figures, summarises the car's late '70s period as follows: "Although the Italian history is still incomplete, the link of the Gropa bodywork connects Hemming through to Flavio Tullio, and the testimony from Matteo Tullio that the car was sold back to England definitely places it back in the UK in the early 1980s. Although the connection from the Tullios is not yet proven, it is now possible to be very confident that this car is Chevron Chassis No.DBE38." Just 44 examples of the iconic Chevron B8 were made. Much of the racing fraternity regards the model as one of the best-looking sports racers ever produced. It has also proved to be one of the most successful, with its long career continuing unabated courtesy of today's flourishing historic racing scene. Now offered in pristine order and resplendent in its original colour, there is no obvious reason why DBE38 can't continue on its winning way for many years to come. It therefore provides a rare opportunity for any budding or established sports racing car driver to add to the already extraordinary story of Chevron - the marque created by the late, multi-talented Derek Bennett and currently celebrating its 50th anniversary.

- Pre-production car used for twin-cam engine and disc brake testing etc - Bought and campaigned in period by MG development engineer John Sharp - A well-documented and important part of MG A history Further Info: The original buff logbook which accompanies this historically significant MG reveals that it was first registered to the MG Car Company Ltd as `ORX 885' on 22nd January 1958. Listed as a `MGA Twin Cam Car' with chassis number NDL13/500 and engine number XSP S72/3, the two-seater took to the road some six months or so before the model was officially introduced. One of several prototypes / pre-production examples, `ORX 885' was used to test the nascent sportscar's Dunlop four-wheel disc braking system as well as being put through its paces by the BMC Engines Branch and subjected to 120mph runs at MIRA (the latter filmed by Associated British Pathe Ltd for The Nuffield Organisation - http://www.britishpathe.com/video/the-sports-car-of-the-year - 4mins 59secs onwards). The original buff logbook also shows that `ORX 885' was reclassified as a `MGA 1600 De Luxe' complete with 1622cc OHV engine before being sold to John Sharp Esq in January 1962. An MG development engineer, Mr Sharp made his racing debut aboard the disc-braked two-seater at the MG Car Club's May 26th 1962 Silverstone Meeting. Noted MG historian and author F. Wilson McComb was commissioned to write a report on `ORX 885' during July 1985 and recalled not only piloting it in the 750MC's 12th National Six-Hour Relay Race (August 11th 1962) but also asking MG Competition Department guru Syd Enever to give John Sharp a special MGB / MGA engine / gearbox unit for the car. Driven to and from events (sometimes full of camping gear), the former Prototype became ever more competitive. Indeed, F. Wilson McComb noted that `During 1963, `ORX 885' was extremely successful as an MGB-engined MGA. John won 35 to 40 awards and beat the best lap times of any previous MGA at Silverstone Club Circuit, Brands Hatch, Aintree, Oulton Park, Snetterton and Mallory Park. But in 1964 he had to switch to an MGB because the MGA was no longer homologated'. As well as its UK exploits, the two-seater ventured to Ireland finishing 3rd overall in the July 1963 Leinster Trophy. Purchased from Mr Sharp by fellow racer Norman Lefton (who had previously campaigned the ex-John Gott Twin Cam), `ORX 885' suffered an engine blow-up and thereafter is known to have passed through the hands of R.C.F. Charnley, Frederick Roberts, Roy Turner, Frederick Roberts (again), John Mills, Kenneth Tugwell and Colin Pearcy before entering the current ownership some twenty years ago. Ken Tugwell returned the car to `Twin Cam' power in circa 1973 and ran it at numerous MGCC speed events into the following decade. No longer `factory fresh' by the time Colin Pearcy acquired it, `ORX 885' was entrusted to marque specialist Brown & Gammons for a thorough overhaul. Writing in the March 1985 issue of `Safety Fast', Mr Pearcy commented: `The chassis up rebuild exposed many problems and it must have been a good old `war horse' in its time as there was evidence of many mods (some still fitted) and several repairs! The engine was built by Dennis Seabrook with new parts obtained from Peter Wood'. Although, the inner panels are steel Mr Pearcy had lightweight aluminium panels crafted and fitted to the MG along with a lightweight hardtop, lightweight trim and fresh air vents etc. In his hands `ORX 885' was raced with both `Twin Cam' MGA and three-bearing MGB engines. A handwritten note on file relating to the former describes it as follows: `1762cc Le Mans type, twin 45DCOE Weber carburettors, large valve polished / flowed cylinder head, extractor exhaust manifold, steel crankshaft, rods, flywheel, twin plate clutch, Cosworth camshafts, large capacity oil sump, special distributor etc. 156bhp @ 5,800rpm'. The vendor has used `ORX 885' sparingly since acquiring it from Mr Pearcy via auction in 1995 and thus not had cause to strip the engine or verify its internal specification / power output. Invited to numerous events over the past twenty years, the Prototype was last displayed at the June 20th-21st 2015 MG Live meeting. Starting readily upon inspection, the two-seater is deemed by the seller to possess a `good engine with no known faults', `generally good bodywork (alloy wings and shroud)', `sound electrical equipment with no known faults' and `good upholstery'. The Red paintwork is said to have `some microblisters with a larger one on top of the offside front wheelarch', while recent mechanical work has seen the four-speed manual transmission fitted with new gears, the limited slip differential checked over and a fresh competition clutch installed. Able to boast a continuous ownership history, this historically significant MGA is offered for sale with original buff logbook, F. Wilson McComb report, expired FIA HVIF papers, V5C Registration Document and several copy articles.

Francois Briot, French c.1545-c.1620, An Important Pewter Charger, c.1585-1600, the central roundel depicting Mars, the god of war, seated with burning city behind, surrounded by richly decorated relief with four allegories of Bellum, Invidia, Pax and Abundatia (war, hunger, peace and abundance) in oval cartouches, the outer rim depicting the four continents alternating with famous generals from Antiquity, Caesar, Ninus, Cyrus and Alexander Magnus, embellished with floral garlands and ribbons, dia. 48.8cm Note: this charger is a fine example of Edelzinn, literally 'noble or precious pewter' which was produced in France and Germany during the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, exclusively for display. Unlike silver, the relief ornament on pewter is always cast, as such designs could be produced in multiples, few known copies have survived but an example of this charger is held in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. The charger was most likely commissioned by one of Briot's patrons, Fredrich I Duke of Württemberg (1557-1608), Count of Montbéliard (1581-93). The allegories are thought to be related to engravings by the French goldsmith Etienne Delaune (1519-1583). With Mars, god of war, as the central figure, one is drawn in to consider the narrative of the allegorical figures together with the generals of Antiquity representing the world as part of a wheel of fortune revolving around war. The charger is dated c.1585-1600; it could date as early as 1593 when Briot moved to Stuttgart however it is considered to be before 1601 as this was when Briot's moulds were seized four unpaid dates, with Fredrich I being named in the case as one of Briot's creditors. A closely related work to this is the 'Temperantia' charger found in the V&A collection. This design was used by Elkington & Co. in the 19th century to model the Wimbledon Ladies Singles Title Trophy on. CONDITION REPORT: in good condition
