Vauxhall PA Cresta 1958 - The VauxhallPa Cresta was a pure nod to the cars our friends over the pond were producing. Masses of chrome, wrap round bumpers and dare I say itrear fins! These cars were pure Rock and Roll.This lovely examples previous owner spent thousands sensitively renovating it to the condition you see here today. The exterior body work was stripped and any corrosion that was either present or likely to be if left, was removed and treated (remember 50ês cars were almostBio-degradable when mixed with our weather). Then it was professionally painted to a very high standard and is just as shiny today. Another thing that is nice is its exterior chrome work. It is original so unlike parts that have been re-chromed, the chrome on these has that deep lustre and is very presentable for its age.The interior received the same care and attention. The carpets were replaced throughout while the seats and door panels were retained and fully refurbished, in an effort to try and maintain some originality rather than just swapping out for new. The dash and steering wheel are original and in very good but used condition.Mechanically the 2200cc engine and its gearbox are excellent. The vendor reports it asVery nice to drive with no whines or grinds The rest of the general mechanics and electrics are all good and fully functioning. The sort of car you can get in and use.With only 28 PAês left registered for road use here in the UK, you would be right for thinkingBlimey! Not seen one of those for a long time They really are a true 50ês Classic, pleasing to the eye, as rare as henês teeth and some might sayBest of all being a 1958 car it is both road tax and MOT free.So rare to be offered on the open market outside of owners clubs etc. This PA represents a rare opportunity to own a bit of 50ês nostalgia while being an excellent investment as well.
Volkswagen T25Pop -top Subaru powered ! 1982 - Fresh from storage, is this nice classic VWPop top Camper but one with a difference. Gone is the original and slightly asthmatic engine, now in the back is a Subaru flat 4 motor which has been mated to the original 4 speed manual Volkswagen gear box, so same gearing just more power. Along with this clever conversion is the fitment of a Vauxhall derived electrically assisted power steering, both of these modifications help to make this 1982 V-dub easier to live with on todayês roads.Body work is very good having benefited at some time recently from a refresh of its paint. No it is not concourse but still nice, shiny and well, white! The rare and desirablePop- Top is fully functioning with good condition material inserts.Inside you will find what would be calledperiod fixtures and fittings. Looking to be original all the various appliances are said to be functioning by the vendor but we have to say we would recommend a full service by a qualified engineer prior to use and all risks are borne by the user. Condition throughout is good with a nicerock anê roll bed fridge and sink.Mechanically everything is said to be good and the vendor will be putting a fresh MOT on the Van before the auction, so all electrics, brakes etc will be up to current UK standards.Having spent many periods over the last years, stood up while the various modifications and improvements have been carried out, in fact according to the MOT history less than 500 miles have been recorded in the last 11 years, this very popular model VW has survived very well and now is available only due to its loss of storage in the workshop where it has been kept. It is being offered with a reserve set well below where we advised as the vendor wants it to sell and this way its more or less guaranteed to do so. Someone is going to get a bargain!

After C *** J *** W *** Winter (English Provincial School, 1845) The Tragedy of the Yarmouth Disaster - the Fall of the Suspension Bridge on 2 May 1845 inscribed lower right "Fall of the Suspension / Bridge May 2nd 1845" watercolour 36 x 52cm (14 x 20in) Cooke's Circus had come to the town of Great Yarmouth and Nelson the Clown planned to ride the flood tide in a tub drawn by four geese to promote the circus - from Haven Bridge at Hall Quay to the Suspension Bridge at North Quay. The trains from Norwich had been crowded as people travelled from far and wide to witness the great spectacle which was to take place on 2nd May 1845. As the clown came into view, the crowd all went to one side of the bridge, but the it could not stand the weight and it collapsed. Four hundred people went into the river and there was a scene of absolute panic as the horrified bystanders attempted to rescue those who were struggling to reach the banks. Others managed to scramble ashore by themselves. A call was immediately put out for every medical person in the town to attend and the injured were treated in Vauxhall Gardens on the west side of the Bure and in private houses along the east side. As the evening progressed, the full horror of the death toll became apparent as the bodies of the victims were laid out in the Norwich Arms Inn, the Admiral Collingwood and Swan public houses. Of the 79 who lost their lives, 58 were aged 16 or under. A report in the Norwich Mercury on the 10th May said: "In every street are to be seen one or more bodies extended on biers, returning to that home from which but short minutes before they had passed in health and life. The consternation - the agony of the town is not to be described - it is as if some dread punishment was felt to have fallen upon its inhabitants - every face is horror stricken - every eye is dim." Many of the victims were buried in St. Nicholas' churchyard in the town of Yarmouth, and there is now a permanent memorial to those who died near to the spot where the suspension bridge once stood. Some loss of colour.

MANUSCRIPT. THE DIARY OF A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF CAPTAIN EDWIN SANDYS DASHWOOD OF THE ROYAL HORSE GUARDS, 1831 containing one or several brief, daily (with very few exceptions) entries and his expenditure in London and when residing at Brighton, written in a clear hand in black ink, occasionally pencil, in The Commercial Ledger or Gentleman's, Merchant's and Tradesman's ...Memorandum-Book for...1831, engraved folding frotispiece of William IV, signed on the ffe E Dashwood Esq R. H Gds January 1st 1831 Cecil House King's Road Brighton, original dark blue morocco wallet binding, 16 x 10cm An unpublished diary that evokes rather more the social, than military aspects that day to day life for a well connected junior officer in the Household Cavalry entailed, more especially at Brighton in the year immediately following the death of the monarch who, as Regent, had made it the most fashionable resort in England. The diarist, Edwin Dashwood (1797-1835, sometimes recorded as 1846) was born at West Wycombe Park, the 4th son of Sir John Dashwood-King, 4th Bt (1765-1849), half nephew of the rake Sir Francis Dashwood, founder of the Hellfire Club. Edwin Dashwood married, in 1821 Amelia Hare (1795-1857) daughter of the Rev. Robert Hare Naylor of Herstmonceux Castle. There were two children of the marriage, a daughter, also Amelia (1824-1847) and a son, Sir Edwin Hare Dashwood, 7th Bt (1825-1882). The diarist refers throughout to mother and daughter by the pet names of 'Emily' and 'Little Emily'. There are also many references to individuals, such as those with whom Dashwood went hunting, to Balls or on visits. Some national events are mentioned. He noted (on 2 March) that the 'Reform question came on last night'. On 8 September he was one of the Guard of Honour at the Coronation of William IV and Queen Adelaide, by far the grandest of the several royal events in which he had a role. On his 34th birthday (29 April) he 'went into the city and bought earrings for Emily of Rundell & Bridge'. In August, accompanied by his friend Gillon, he went to Vauxhall where he supped. The consequences of the punch & champagne being a 'Headache next day'. Other diversions after a Field Day at Wormwood Scrubs, included Covent Garden or the Haymarket Theatre, sometimes accompanied by Lady Dashwood or his wife's family and dinner, on one occasion meeting the author Augustus Hare (1792-1834). On 29 December the evening was spent at Lewes Ball, from which he did not return until 6.30am. The year ends with his going home to Brighton in Capt Streatfield's gig, when there was a sharp frost. Despite feeling 'seedy', he concludes 'So ends this year, the last few weeks of which have been extremely pleasant.'

ATTRIBUTED TO JOSEPH NICHOLLS (BRITISH, ACTIVE 1726-1755) VIEW OF A COUNTRY HOUSE IN A PARK, WITH FIGURES ON A WALK Oil on canvas 76cm x 94cm (30in x 37in) Note: The enigmatic artist Joseph Nicholls, sometimes known as Nichols or Nickols, is known as the painter of a number of topographical views of London, in particular around Chelsea, Vauxhall and West London and can be seen as a forerunner of Canaletto and his British equivalents, Samuel Scott and William Marlow. Comparatively little is known about Nicholls. He was from Bengeo in Hertfordshire, the son of a husbandman, and apprenticed to Thomas Batten in 1713. He was painting views of London views by 1738 and two of them - "Stocks Market" and "Fountain in the Temple" - were engraved in that year. A pair of views of Twickenham by Nicholls are in the Mellon Collection at Yale, one of Pope's Villa and the other Orleans House. A painting by Nicholls in the collection of the Royal Bank of Scotland depicts Charing Cross in 1746. Another of the Fountain in the Middle Temple is in the collection of the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple. Another work by Nicholls, originally on the collection of the Earl of Ilchester depicting a View of the Rotunda, Ranelagh, sold at Christies in 1940 and 1948. A further painting of Ranelagh House, attributed to Nicholls, was offered by Christies in 2002. Nicholls worked as an illustrator for works including Captain Johnson's Famous Highwaymen, Murderers, etc published in 1734 and it seems probable that he also worked as a scenery painter as he is mentioned in the context of the decoration of Vauxhall Gardens as the painter of 'a beautiful landscape painting of ruins and running water'.
