JIMMY DICKINSON OF ENGLAND, MATCH WORN INTERNATIONAL JERSEY, 15TH APRIL 1950 worn vs. Scotland in the Home Championship match, embroidered crest inscribed SCOTLAND V ENGLAND APRIL 1950, ST. BLAIZE label to interior, number 6 verso, long-sleeve Note: Jimmy Dickinson MBE (1925–1982) is a Portsmouth F.C. legend, with a record total of 764 appearances for the club.'He signed for Portsmouth as a trainee and made his debut in 1946 against Blackburn Rovers. Settling into the side quickly at either wing-half or left-half, he was part of the team that won successive league championships in 1948–49 and 1949–50. His performances earned him a call-up to the England national team. He went on to win 48 caps for England, making him Portsmouth's most capped English player of all time. During his record 845 club appearances for Pompey and his 48 England caps he was never once booked or sent off, earning him the nickname 'Gentleman Jim'.'This shirt was worn during the 1950 Home Championship tie vs. Scotland. It is offered as part of the collection relating to Rangers and Scotland legend, Willie Woodburn, and was gained as a swap.'England once again clinched the Home International Championship—and with it a place in the World Cup finals—with this hard-fought win in front of a massive crowd of 133,250 spectators. It was a very close game with both sides grappling for supremacy.'Match Report as appears in the F.A. Yearbook 1950-51, pages 24-25On April [15th] at Hampden Park, Glasgow, England played Scotland in the last home international of the season, and won back the international championship by a 1-0 victory. Though the teams were very evenly matched. England's slight superiority in finish probably turned the scale. Scotland were, however, unlucky not to force the draw which would have kept them in the World Cup. Scotland attacked strongly at the start and kept the initiative through most of the first-half, Williams making flying saves from the menacing drives of Waddell, Steel and Liddell. In the second-half England's superior power of combination, particularly at wing-half, began to tell. But they still had not found effective form in forcing home their good approach play. The solitary goal of the match came in the 64th minute, when Langton at outside-left cut down the wing and sent a low pass to Bentley, who drove hard into the Scottish net. In the last twenty minutes Scotland attacked strongly, but the English defence stood firm. On the 1949/50 Home Championships,'1949–50 British Home Championship was one of the most significant competitions of the British Home Championship football tournament. This year saw the competition doubling up as Group 1 in the qualifying rounds for the 1950 FIFA World Cup. It was the first time that either England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland (IFA) had entered a World Cup competition. It was also a significant moment in the history of Irish football as it was the last time that the (Northern) Irish Football Association entered a team featuring players born in both Northern Ireland and what is now the Republic of Ireland.

Two months before, one of the cars was sent to Brooklands for tests, driven by LG Hornsted and CD Day, Sunbeam’s subsequent production manager."); plus image of racing cars on ferry with one car about to be unloaded, presumably Douglas IoM, these images of IoM TT mainly approx. 8 x 13cm; 13 photographs of luxury/racing cars of the period, some with the compiler of the album seated, including series of 4 images of a Darracq c.1910, number plate BHH1, three of which with the compiler of the album posing seated within, pencil note to card leaf of album "Self & the 20 Darracq", each image approx. 10 x 16cm, another image with pencil caption above "Algy & Bill in 1913 GP Sunbeam after conversion", depicting Algernon Lee Guinness and 1 other in Sunbeam car, approx. 8.5 x 13.5cm, 8 other images various cars of the period, one with pencil caption beside "Father's 25 Darracq", others captioned "Metallurgique", "Charles Cotton", "100 x 160 Brooklands", etc; 8 contemporary postcards of grand prix motor racing, including one depicting K.

Louis Coatalen's oustanding light car designs and other technological innovations made Sunbeam highly competitive during this period, even against the large Grand Prix cars of the period with engines three and five times the capacity of the Sunbeam. Wins included the legendary success at the 1912 Coupe de l’Auto to winning the 1914 and 1922 Tourist Trophy and 1923 and 1924 Grand Prix. Coatalen designed the 1914 Isle of Man TT cars with four-cylinder 3.2-litre twin-cam 16-valve engines, with which Kenelm Lee Guinness was to win that two-day 600-mile race over the punishing Manx mountain course, involving driving for 10hr 37min 49sec. Dario Resta’s car broke a big-end bolt on the first lap and Algy Guinness’s Sunbeam, after being in a secure second place on day two, retired when a propellor-shaft joint seized. But KLG had vanquished two sleeve-valve Minervas and three other cars, out of 22 starters, to win at 56.44mph. His fastest lap was 59.3mph, an indication of how difficult was the IoM course. (In the 1922 TT over the same course Jean Chassagne in an eight-cylinder Sunbeam averaged 55.78mph in the now one-day race, but in rain.) The fourth unnumbered Sunbeam car MN 525 driven by LG Hornsted must have also participated in the race, as evidenced by the photograph in the album of it in action chasing down the Vauxhall of WJ Watson. All four Sunbeams were driven from Wolverhampton to the Fort Ann hotel in the IoM. They wore number plates MN 523 to MN 526, these apparently being trade plates, indicating that Coatalen disdained paying tax on cars intended to uphold British prestige. The three main Sunbeam cars that competed in the 1914 IoM TT (MN 523, 524 & 526, race numbers 4 for KLG, 15 for Resta and 21 for Sir Algernon), are miraculously all still intact (see Motorsport Magazine online article May 2006, 88, Array of Sunbeams).

Registration No: A5 ERD Chassis No: SCBZS0T01ECH08959 MOT: October 20251 of just 322 right-hand drive examples madeCherished by a single family (1984-2024)33,000 miles from new with fourteen corroborating services (the latter two totalling over £9,000)A landmark model in Bentley’s history, the Mulsanne Turbo (and its Turbo R successor) expanded the marque’s popularity and desirability to an unprecedented degree. Thus, ‘Winged B’ sales went from accounting for three percent of Crewe production in 1980 to fifty percent a decade later! Launched at the 1982 Geneva Salon, the Mulsanne Turbo was substantially more potent than its normally aspirated sibling (300bhp/487lbft vs 170bhp/369lbft). Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7 seconds and 135mph, the luxury saloon could outrun many a sportscar whilst still retaining its ‘drawing room on wheels’ ambience. Hand-built, a mere 322 were completed to right-hand drive, short wheelbase specification.Finished in the gorgeous and special order combination of Coral Inmont with a Cream Everflex roof and chrome radiator grille, chassis H08959 was supplied new via the SMAC Group of Thorpe Bay, Essex to businessman Edward Coventry Esq. Remaining within Mr Coventry’s extended family until very recently, a handwritten letter on file confirms that the Bentley ‘has been garaged and cherished all its life having never had any paintwork or accident damage’. Warranted to have covered just 33,000 miles from new, the Mulsanne Turbo has been serviced fourteen times by SMAC(x10), P&A Wood (x2), Harvey Wash and Shadow Motors. Recognised marque specialists, bills from the latter two totalled £4,466 and £4,603 respectively and show that particular attention was paid to the luxury saloon’s steering, suspension and brakes. The factory-fitted Magnolia leather upholstery (which extends to the roof lining) and contrasting red carpets remain in excellent order, while the boot and engine bay are highly presentable too. A rare machine made triply so by its low mileage and originality, this Mulsanne Turbo is worthy of close inspection.PLEASE NOTE: According to the website howmanyleft.co.uk only sixty-four Bentleys registered during 1984 are still known to the DVLA (of which forty-nine are currently SORN). The vendor believes that ‘A5 ERD’ is one of the very best examples among this select group and invites potential purchasers to observe the lack of wear to the Mulsanne Turbo’s pedal rubbers and boot as proof of the way in which it has been mollycoddled for the past forty years.PLEASE NOTE: The V5C Registration Document for this lot is in transit and will be forwarded to the successful purchaser.

Lot 19

Registration No: KSG 557 Chassis No: TDC 1490 MOT: ExemptEntered from a deceased estate Dry stored for a number of years, but started and driven during our recent photography sessionDesirable (and transferable) cherished registration number Supplied with the original folding logbook Current ownership since 1993The first car to carry the Triumph badge following the company’s takeover by the Standard Motor Company, the Triumph Renown was rushed out within months of the end of the war to cash in on the booming post-war export market. The cars were coachbuilt by Mulliner of Birmingham in the ‘Razor Edge’ style that was all the rage on prestigious models of the late 1930s/early 1940s from makes like Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Due to post-war steel shortages, most of the body panels were in lightweight aluminium over a traditional ash frame. In 1949, the original 1.8-litre engine was replaced by the excellent Standard 2,088cc unit and three-speed column-change gearbox which literally transformed the car, giving 75mph performance. In 1949 things got better still with the launch of the TDB which had much-improved coil spring front suspension (rather than transverse leaf) and the option of overdrive. From 1952 a stretched TDC model was available which gave significantly more legroom for rear seat passengers, had a larger rear window and push-button rather than lever-operated door handles. Just 9,301 Renowns were built in total of which only 2,609 were TDC models and only a tiny handful survive today, making this a rare car indeed.This Renown TDC dates from 1953 and has been consigned to us from a deceased estate. Finished in striking Black, with a contrasting Cream interior; the Saloon is described by a representative of the vendor’s family as ‘Average’ with regard to the paintwork, ‘Good’ with reference to its bodywork and electrical equipment, whilst the engine, transmission and interior trim are described as ‘Very Good’. Starting easily and running nicely as we moved it around for these photographs, this extremely rare and quirky pocket limousine looks excellent value (considering it is being offered entirely without reserve!). Offered with a large selection of paperwork and history, including the original folding logbook, expired MOT certificates, tax discs and sundry correspondence.

Registration No: AGC 496 Chassis No: GAW 36 MOT: ExemptSupplied with a healthy history files with chassis cards, invoices for maintenance and moreDescribed as 'a well-maintained' example with matching chassis and engine numbersFeatured in Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club Magazine - 1978 and 1991Subject to an extensive engine overhaulThe Rolls-Royce 20/25 was built between 1929 and 1936 and succeeded the 20hp as Rolls-Royce's "small car". It was intended to appeal to owner drivers, but many were sold to customers with chauffeurs. The in-line 6-cylinder overhead valve engine was similar to that used in the 20hp but was enlarged to 3699cc by increasing the bore from 76mm to 82mm with the stroke remaining at 114mm. A single Rolls-Royce carburettor was used and both coil and magneto ignitions were fitted. The four-speed gearbox was mounted in unit with the engine and a traditional right hand change used. Synchromesh was fitted to third and top gears from 1932. The substantial chassis had rigid front and rear axles suspended by half elliptic springs with braking on all four wheels assisted by a mechanical servo. Separate rear brakes were fitted for the handbrake. The famous Rolls-Royce radiator with triangular top was used with vertical louvres, the angle of which could be adjusted to control engine cooling. To begin with, the radiator shutters were operated manually via a lever on the dash with later cars fitted with automatic control via a thermostat. The larger engine allowed the top speed to increase to but many owners had large limousine bodies fitted to the chassis with the predictable decline in performance. As far back as the 1880’s, Thrupp & Maberly began its move from making horse-drawn carriages to car bodies. By the spring of 1897, Thrupp & Maberly held the British licence for the Duryea Motor Wagon. More commissions followed and the business grew, leading to large numbers of bodies for staff cars being made during World War I. After the war, Thrupp & Maberly produced a range of bespoke bodies for up-market British and European marques and in 1924, they moved to new premises in Cricklewood, London, but kept a showroom in North Audley Street which in 1925, was bought by the Rootes brothers. Thrupp & Maberly remained a prestige coachbuilder, concentrating on luxury bodies for Rolls-Royce, Daimler and Bentley automobiles and in 1929, they built the body for Sir Henry Segrave's land speed record car, the Golden Arrow.Known as ‘Lady Primrose’, this is a 1932 Rolls Royce D-Back Limousine with coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly. A delightful example of early ‘30s luxury motoring it is said to have been 'well-maintained' with matching chassis and engine numbers. It has featured in the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club Magazine 1978 and 1991. Purchased by the current owner in 2021 it has since received an engine overhaul including new white-metal bearings and a balanced crankshaft assembly. A new aluminium cylinder head is also present, accompanying a recently rebuilt water pump and Calorstat. It also benefits from the addition of an over-drive fitted by Ben Smith Restorations. Ben Smith has looked after maintenance for many years and in this time has compiled several reports, including a large photo album of restoration.A regular participant of overseas trips, many with the RREC, before 1997 the Limousine resided on Guernsey. It was here that the Primrose Yellow coachwork was acquired, together with some additional restoration work also detailed in the file. The 'occasional seats' were also removed and a drinks cabinet fabricated, however, the seats are included in the sale. The interior is very tidy, with the fawn cloth to the rear seat and headlining in almost excellent condition. Sound deadening has also been added under the carpets. Tools also included are for the removal and refitting of the Ace wheel discs, the wheel hub spanner and jack. The large Lucas P100 head lamps with foot operated dipping solenoids are fitted and calibrated with modern improved halogen bulbs to aid night driving whilst the side lights use an MG B hazard repeater, utilising them as indicators, as well as the working trafficators. Floating along on soft suspension, this is a car to be used and enjoyed. Supplied with a V5C, a healthy history file – including journey logs, chassis cards, invoices for maintenance, extensive restoration and engine overhaul documentation, copies of the magazines in which it has featured and the 'occasional seats'.
