Plt/Off Bill Green WW2 RAF Battle of Britain Pilot signed colour print 12 x 8 inch signed in Pencil. Image of him in uniform. Flight Lieutenant William James Bill Green 23 April 1917 7 November 2014 was a British Battle of Britain Fighter pilot, who served with the RAF. Flight Lieutenant Green flew Hawker Hurricanes for 9 days during the Battle of Britain, between the 20 and 29 August 1940. During that time he was shot down twice: the first time on 24 August 1940, crash landing at Hawkinge and the second time on 29 August over Deal in Kent. Green joined the Royal Auxiliary Air Force as an engine fitter in December 1936, and later trained as a pilot. On joining No. 501 Squadron RAF on 19 August 1940, Green had flown only about 5 hours on Hurricanes and had only flown one for the first time the day before but was sent into action regardless on 20 August 1940. Green considers himself to have been one of the least trained pilots during the Battle of Britain and lucky to have survived. The first thing Green knew of being shot down on 29 August 1940 was a large hole appearing in his armoured windscreen and he never saw the aircraft that shot him down. He managed to exit his aircraft, but his parachute initially failed to open as his drogue parachute lines had been cut about nine inches above where they joined the main parachute. His boots were ripped off his feet during the ensuing high speed fall and he remembers quite clearly wondering whether his wife of 12 weeks, Bertha, would wonder whether he had wondered what it would feel like to hit the deck. Bill had resigned himself that this was the end, but just as he neared the treetops, the parachute eventually opened without the drogue and he landed almost immediately in a farm in Elham Valley near Folkestone only to discover that he couldn't stand as he had been wounded in the leg: Two blokes came out of the farmhouse with shotguns and realised I was English. They helped me up and I couldn't stand because I'd been hit, without knowing it, in the leg. They took me back to the farmhouse and gave me a cup of tea and that was the end of the Battle of Britain as far as I was concerned. He continued to serve in the RAF, rising from the rank of Sergeant Pilot to Flight Lieutenant. Good Condition. All signed items come with our certificate of authenticity.

Unfortunately, we had to leave before his return!’

A 1949 MG TC, unregistered, ***Sequoia cream (not Primrose yellow)***. This charming TC has recently returned from a dry USA state. The MG was the subject of a body off rebuild prior to returning to these shores. The tub was rebuilt with new timber and much attention was lavished on the panels and gaps before the MG was re-sprayed in the most attractive shade of Primrose yellow. The engine has been rebuilt with new pistons and modified with a polished and ported head. The inlet manifold has been modified to match the head with polished ports. All of this attention has created a well-balanced free revving engine which pulls well and shows excellent oil pressure. The interior is trimmed in ***red (not tan)*** leather with a walnut dashboard sporting re-conditioned instruments. There is a full complement of weather gear, the side screens are new, and both the full tonneau and hood are in excellent condition. Unusually for a TC, the windscreen is tinted and the headlights are the original fisheye type. The MG is in the process of being issued an age related number allocated by DVLA, which should be issued by the time of the auction. The vendor advises us that the MG drives well and is thoroughly sorted. V5C to follow, MOT and tax exempt See illustrations
A 1933 MG J2 Midget, registration number ALX 603, chassis number J23658, engine number 2585AJ, blue. Following on from the successful M-Type the two seater J2 would establish the classic MG look of Abingdons sports cars into the 1950s. With its deep cut away doors, fold flat windscreen and fixed cycle type wings they epitomised the British sports car look. The new J2 featured the Wolseley derived 847cc overhead camshaft engine coupled to a four speed gearbox installed in a simple chassis frame equipped with 8 inch diameter brakes. By the standards of the day, handling and performance were perceived to be exemplary, and they endowed the MG with an exhilarating top speed of 65 mph. ALX 603 is an extremely original example of the model, having been in the vendor's possession for over 40 years it oozes originality. The body work is finished in light blue and has a delightful patination which cannot be replicated. The interior has an aluminium dashboard with complementary black seating. Our vendor advises us that the original engine has been rebuilt with a Phoenix crankshaft. He further advises that he feels that the MG now needs tidying up but I for one think that the MG should be preserved as much as possible. Coming to the market for the first time in over four decades. ***There is no history file to accompany the car.*** V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustrations

1954 Triumph TR2Triumph's TR Series began with the unveiling of a prototype at the 1952 London Motorshow. It was built around the chassis of the pre-war Flying Nine, the suspension from the Mayflower and the engine out of the Vanguard. Trials showed it to handle poorly, however, and the design was not progressed - the improved TR2 being launched the following year instead. Motor magazine's road test of a TR2 in 1954 achieved 11.9 seconds for the 0-60mph sprint and an ultimate speed of over 107mph. The publication apparently commented that the Triumph was 'the lowest-priced British car able to exceed the magic 100mph barrier'. The test vehicle concerned was priced at £900 with taxes, and included £56 for the optional overdrive. The model was a success for Triumph, who achieved their aim of making a two-seater Roadster of appeal to the American market. A total of 8,628 TR2s were built, just 2,823 of which were for the home market.This exceedingly handsome original 'home market' example was first registered in November 1954 and is one of the later 'short door' versions. The car has had just four owners since 1970 and was acquired by the last keeper some 10 years ago. It has just emerged from a decade-long body-off 'nut-and-bolt' restoration, during which it was treated to many replacement body panels and new: front disc brakes and 60-spoke powder-coated wire wheels; brightwork; front and rear lights; windscreen; tonneau cover; Red leather upholstery and carpets; and Moto-Lita steering wheel. The vendor regards the TR as 'being restored to a very high standard, with an as-new interior and detailed engine bay'. He is now offering it with extensive history file including photographic record of the restoration, TR Register correspondence, and old-style green logbook dating from 1970. A splendid specimen of an increasingly sought-after model.
1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Speedster PLEASE NOTE: We have been contacted by David Titchener to say that he bought this lot new from Dick Lovett of Swindon and had it registered as 'THE 89S' (The '89 Speedster) PLEASE NOTE: We have been informed by the vendor's family that this lot retains its original front tyres. Apparently, the rear tyres were only replaced in April 2012 because of a nasty cut to the nearside one. They believe that the presence of the original front tyres lends further credibility to the odometer reading of 17,500 miles. PLEASE NOTE: This lot is now registered with the DVLA under the number plate 'G542 TTV' - 1 of just 64 UK-supplied (C16 specification) examples - Factory-fitted with 'Turbo look' bodywork and electrically adjustable sports seats - 17,500 recorded miles, original Blaupunkt Toronto stereo, tyre compressor and tool kit Given the 356 Speedster's cult status, it seems amazing that Porsche took twenty-five years to launch a similarly minimalist drop-top 911. Brainchild of Peter Schutz and Helmuth Bott (the company's then President and Technical Director respectively), the Carrera 3.2 Speedster was visually distinguished from its Cabriolet sibling by a bespoke, more steeply raked aluminium-framed windscreen, simplified hood hidden beneath a distinctive `double hump' moulded polyurethane tonneau cover, lower slung sports seats and frameless side windows. The work of in-house stylist Tony Lapine, its distinctive lines were enhanced still further by the option of `Turbo-look' bodywork (which also entailed uprated suspension and brake components). A strict two-seater unlike the rest of the 911 range, it was powered by a 3164cc flat-six engine allied to the preferred G50 five-speed manual transmission. Living up to its name, the Speedster was capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and 152mph. Although previewed as a concept car at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show, the model did not enter production until January 1989. Notable as the last 911 variant to be derived from the same basic bodyshell as the 1963 original, the Carrera 3.2 Speedster was also the final 911 to be assembled at the old Zuffenhausen factory. Known internally as Option M503, the last of 2,104 examples rolled off the production line during July 1989. All but 171 customers specified the more dramatic `Turbo-look' bodywork with America and Germany proving the biggest markets. Of the 129 right-hand drive Speedsters made, just 64 were to UK `C16' specification. Embracing the less is more philosophy, Porsche charged a not insubstantial premium for the Speedster despite terming its roof a `rain hat' and demanding that original purchasers sign a disclaimer as to water and wind ingress! One of the sixty-four UK cars, chassis WPOZZZ91ZKS151277 was built to the following specification: Impact absorbers front and rear (058), Blaupunkt Toronto Radio Cassette player (330), Sports seat left, electric height adjustment (383), Sports seat right, electric height adjustment (387), Front and rear spoiler delete - i.e. none fitted (470), Turbo-look bodywork (491), Amplifier (494), Luggage compartment velour carpet (975), Guards Red paint (L80K) and Cashmere Beige upholstery (LC). First road registered as `THE 89S' on August 1st 1989, it had had three previous keepers prior to entering the current ownership twenty years ago the last of whom was Christopher Nowicki of Loughborough. Although, the vendor's ill health means that the low recorded mileage of 17,500 cannot be warranted, it certainly appears correct. Factory stickers are still present in the door jamb and under the luggage compartment lid. Pleasingly retaining its original engine and running well during our recent photography visit, we could not discern any sign of previous accident damage or repair. Maintained in-house by the owner's ex-Holbay mechanic, the Speedster still carries its original space saver spare wheel (with unused Vredstein tyre), Porsche plug-in air compressor, jack, tool roll and Blaupunkt stereo (complete with instructions). Issued with an `advisory free' MOT certificate which runs until January 2nd 2019, the two-seater is currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer. Rare, desirable and coming to market for the first time since 1998, this seemingly low mileage `C16' Speedster is worthy of close inspection.
1975 Jaguar XK140 Evocation- Unique Autotune Aristocat which has been further enhanced by the vendor- Recently treated to a quality re-spray- 4.2-litre Jaguar XK engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox'XK2 545' is a unique Jaguar XK140 Evocation based on Autotune's Aristocat kit and further enhanced by the vendor. Finished in Red allied to a sumptuous Red-piped Black interior, the car was originally built by a Captain Jim Roberts and correctly registered by Autotune. Roberts regularly used the car open-topped until removing it from the road to recondition the engine, change the transmission from automatic to manual, install twin alloy fuel tanks etc. However, in the middle of the process his job took him abroad and the Jaguar lay untouched for some five years until rescued by the vendor. He subsequently invested two years extensively modifying and generally improving the car. He treated it to a quality respray after modifying every bodywork panel; fitted a curved windscreen, quarter-lights and wind-up windows; and installed a bespoke interior, new lights, rechromed bumpers, and custom-made copper exhaust system. In common with the original keeper, he took a 'no-expense-spared' approach to the project, as the intention was to keep it indefinitely. However, his circumstances changed and somebody else will now benefit from the time and money that have been lavished on the car - the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 4.2-litre XK engine, and four-speed manual gearbox of which he now regards as all being in 'excellent' condition. Designed by Autotune of Rishton, Lancs., the Aristocat was an Evocation 'within the spirit of' the Jaguar XK140, and employed the running gear from a donor XJ6 or XJS housed within a purpose-designed steel spaceframe chassis. Created to suit a range of budgets, it could be built using as much as 80 percent of the donor car components, even including the seats and dashboard. Utilising unmodified XJ suspension resulted in the Evocation being a more practical five inches wider than an XK120 or 140, but only and inch more than the XK150.
