Registration No: 565 BOL Chassis No: 630001328 MOT: ExemptOffered with a large history file that includes the buff logbook and the original sales invoiceJust c.77,851 credible miles recordedMOT certificates dating back to 1975 at 47,685 milesLaunched in September 1958, the Rover P5 was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and later Coupe guises - both of which employed four doors - the big Rover was luxuriously-equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes. The initial 3.0 litre OISE straight-six engine was a development of the one used by its P4 stablemate (the production runs of the two models overlapped). Automatic transmission, overdrive on the manual, and Burman power steering were all optional, with overdrive becoming standard from May 1960.Originally supplied to Hatton Motors Ltd, Broad Street, Birmingham, the first keeper was Messrs. S C Bilsby and Co, Tipton on 2nd June 1960, the car stayed within the same family until at least 1970 and within the Birmingham area. Benefitting from a restoration by the previous owner, this P5, presenting in period two-tone paintwork, has been in current ownership since 2017. Displaying some 77,851 credible recorded miles, the mileage can be evidenced by the plethora of MOT certificates dating back to 1975 at 47,685 miles. 'BOL' has been the subject of much improvement in recent years, in addition to the previous restoration work, mechanical work has included many new items that include: the battery, a master cylinder, brake components (both discs and pads), brake servo, wheel bearings, hoses and a stainless-steel exhaust. Other beneficial work has included the original radio having been upgraded to include Bluetooth and phone connectivity. The P5's tool-kits are to be found in the car, with the tool-kit in the boot believed to be the original. There's an original sales invoice from Hatton Motors Ltd and an original sales brochure present. Offered with a large history file that includes the original sales invoice and a further collection of invoices, there's also the original logbook and the current V5C.

Registration No: TDJ 770L Chassis No: BBAFNP19116 MOT: Exempt1300 XL model presented in the attractive combination of ‘Sunset’ with contrasting Biscuit vinyl interiorJust 32,457 Miles on the odometer with 4 former keepersOffered with a comprehensive history fileFord’s phenomenally successful Escort made its debut at the 1968 Brussels Motorshow. It was a direct replacement for the long running Anglia range and, while much of the mechanicals were carried over, the styling was far more contemporary. Power came from a choice of 1100 or 1300cc versions of the Crossflow ‘Kent’ engine, which drove through a slick four-speed manual gearbox or three-speed automatic unit and on to the rear wheels. Suspension was by MacPherson struts at the front and live axle mounted on leaf springs at the rear, while the Escort was the first Ford to feature rack and pinion steering. The XL trim variant included the GT-Style six dial instrument binnacle, two speed wipers and heater/demister, ashtrays and simulated wood fascia to the dashboard and door cappings. On the exterior, stainless-steel finish sill plates, wheel trims and more.This particular Escort, presented in ‘Sunset’ with contrasting Biscuit vinyl interior was first registered on 01 May 1973 and delivered to Liverpool. ‘TDJ 770L’ would have just 2 keepers until it was purchased by its third owner, an R J Gourley, also living in Liverpool in August 1975 at just two years old. The car would remain with Gourley for the majority of its life, for some 42 years between 1975 and 2017. During his ownership, the car covered 14,374 miles and was dry-stored in his single garage and used sparingly. Following his ownership, the car was passed to a family friend, before being sold to the previous owner, and the current owner in June 2019. Amazingly, ‘TDJ 770L’ is believed to be in remarkably original condition, with its original paint still showing touch-ins from Gourley accidentally scraping the car on either side of the rear arches when pushing the car in and out of his small garage; adding to its charm. The condition of the interior and notably the boot further corroborate the story that this car spent most of its life garaged, and cherished.Included with the vehicle is a charming history file. Included within are various documents such as an AA Road test report dated November 1972, Escort comparison guide, Lubrication and Maintenance Chart Service Schedule and more. Also included within are numerous Tax discs, laid out nicely, a significant collection of MOT certificates from 1983, showing a clear progression in the car’s mileage over that period. An original ‘The Ford Escorts’ brochure, a Ford Warranty Facts booklet, Esso Recommended Lubricants booklet, Its original Owner’s handbook and Ford Sure booklet are also included, along with a handful of invoices, further literature and the current V5C document which displays 4 former keepers.In current ownership, ‘TDJ 770L’ has been enjoyed for numerous car shows and events, and now presents a fantastic opportunity for its next owner to cherish.

Registration No: AUB 48E Chassis No: 1E1819 MOT: ExemptAn original UK home market, right-hand drive Series 1 first registered in swinging 60s LondonComprehensively restored during the 1980's by Rawdon Restorations and subsequently a previous concours winner during the 1990sFeatured in a Classic & Sports Car magazine artcle in 1997 in which it was reviewed and driven by John SurteesMeticulously maintained and sensibly upgraded by the long term current owner and rated as an 'excellent' driver's carAmong the last century's great motoring icons, Jaguar's E-type has always inspired loyalty and devotion. Born out of the fabulous D-type racer, the model soon acquired a strong competition heritage of its own. Launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the Big Cat proved faster and more glamorous than virtually any production rival. Certainly, few could match its reputed 150mph top speed. At a time when Ferrari's lauded 250SWB and 250GTO made do with 'live' rear axles, the E-type utilised a sophisticated independent rear set-up with inboard disc brakes. While, rack and pinion steering enhanced the monocoque chassis's excellent roadholding and handling; putting it light years ahead of American designs like the Corvette. Revised in 1964, the E-type gained a torquier 4235cc powerplant and four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox of Jaguar's own design.Chassis 1E1819 was manufactured on 2nd May 1967 and despatched to Henlys of London on 19th May. First registered as ‘PLU 608E’, the Roadster’s first owner was a Mr B Kanarek of London W1. It appears the E-Type lived a rather modest life and only nine years after it was supplied new, its then owner, Mr Alan Jones of Shipley, Yorkshire would lay the car up in storage, waiting to find a new life.Forgotten about, until a Chris Denton of Bradford purchased it and sent the Roadster to Rawdon Restoration of Leeds c.1985/6, for whatever reason, Mr Denton sold on the car when the restoration was 95% complete, being purchased by a Mr Timothy Garnett of Ilkley and finally returning to the road in August 1987 with 50,732 miles on the clock. Mr Garnett was fastidious with the E-Type’s ownership and deservedly successful in concours events. Subsequently, The E-Type Centre of Chilcote, chose to purchase it for use as their brochure car, also becoming the cover star for an issue of Classic & Sports Car magazine, with an article that would feature F1 World Champion John Surtees comparing ‘the world’s best drivers’ cars’.The vendor purchased the two-seater from The E-Type Centre in August 1999 with an indicated 56,923 miles. During his 25-year ownership, he has regularly used it for several events including the E-Type 50th anniversary trip to Geneva with Jaguar Heritage plus much more. In 2021, the vendor’s son drove the car to the Goodwood Revival. Fastidious with maintenance, the vendor has kept the car maintained to a very high standard with some subtle upgrades for modern road use. He commented, ‘there are some stone chips around the bonnet nose which is to be expected with a 37-year-old restoration that has been used. …it is still, however, a credit to the people who restored the car in 1986.’ For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

The design and development had begun in the late 1960s by the code name of project XJ27, with an initial shape penned by Malcolm Sayer, but after his death in 1970 it was completed by the in-house Jaguar design team, headed by Doug Thorpe. In 1983, the new 3.6-litre Jaguar AJ6 straight-six engine was introduced along with a new convertible model called the XJ-SC. The coupé's rather small rear seats were removed in order to make space for the removable soft top, making it a strict two-seater car.The XJ-SC was not a full convertible but was a fixed profile variant with a non-removable centre targa-type structure, fixed cant rails above the doors, and fixed rear quarter windows. The six-cylinder cars can be identified by a raised bonnet centre section.

VOLTAIRE: (1694-1778) French Enlightenment Writer and Philosopher. Voltaire is a pseudonym, his name being François-Marie Arouet. Voltaire is known for his attacks on Catholic Church, and his advocacy of freedom of religion and expression, and separation of church and state. Rare A.L., one page, 8vo, n.p., 17th January 1753, to Johann Heinrich Samuel Formey, in French. Voltaire, openly expresses his opinion to his correspondent, explaining and reproaching to him his written attack against deists, stating `...où diable prenez-vous cette jérémiade? Je vous dis que vous avez parlé de Louis 14 d´une manière peu convenable, et que vous avez tort, comme j´ai dit au Roy qu´il avait eu tort de faire une brochure, et moi tort d´en avoir fait une autre; et je vous dis cela entre nous... Qui songe à vous faire de la peine? Ce n´est pas moi. Vous avez écrit contre les déistes, qui ne vous ont jamais fait de mal; et le Roy et moi, qui sommes déistes, nous avons pris le parti de notre religion.´ (Translation: "...where the devil do you get this jeremiad? I tell you that you have spoken of Louis XIV in an unsuitable manner, and that you are wrong, as I told the King that he was wrong to make a pamphlet, and I was wrong to make another; and I tell you this between us... Who thinks of hurting you? It is not me. You have written against the deists, who have never done you any harm; and the King and I, who are deists, have taken the side of our religion.") Further, Voltaire refers to Madame de Montespan, the most celebrated mistress of King Louis XIV, saying `Je vous dis encore une fois qu´il n´y a qu´à rire de tout cela. Vous ne voyez les choses que par le trou d´une bouteille. Ne vous affligez pas et ne pleurez point parce que Mme de Montespan était aimable. Encore une fois, soyez tranquille´ (Translation: "I tell you once again that you can only laugh at all this. You only see things through the hole of a bottle. Do not be upset and do not cry because Madame de Montespan was kind. Once again, be calm") Johann Heinrich Samuel Formey (1711-1797) German Churchman, Educator and Author. He was the son of an immigrant French family, and for this reason he taught, and wrote in French. He popularized scientific and philosophical ideas, and also contributed to Diderot´s Encyclopedie. Marquise of Montespan (1640-1707) Françoise-Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart, commonly known as Madame de Montespan. French noblewoman and the most famous Royal mistress of King Louis XIV. During their romantic relationship, which lasted ten years, she was sometimes referred to as the "true Queen of France" due to her influence at court. She was a lady-in-waiting to Queen Maria Theresa. Noted for her great beauty, she carefully cultivated a relationship with Louis XIV and supplanted the King´s former favourite. Madame de Montespan had seven children by the king, six of which survived infancy and were later legitimised. She is an ancestress of several royal houses in Europe, including those of Spain, Italy, Belgium, and many more.

It is light to handle and its exceptionally low build ensures safety in all conditions’, the Lincock sold well on the nine chassis, with around 300 examples produced in 2 years. An original and honest example, this genuine Lincock is fitted with the Special Series engine featuring twin SU carburettors and a sportier camshaft, which has more recently been paired with a free breathing four-branch exhaust manifold. The Lincock is finished in beige with black wings, complemented by a bottle green leather interior and fitted still with the correct Riley 9 engine and crash gearbox. The car’s frame appears to be solid, with no play evident in the doors. The Riley has covered a tad over 100,000 miles in its 90 years, with only around 6,000 miles in the last 40 years. We understand the Lincock starts and drives well, steering and stopping as a Riley Nine should, with good oil pressure and a brisk turn of speed. This stylish coupe benefits additionally from a folding back sunshine roof for sunny days. A great first preservation class pre-war car or alternative to the more commonplace Austin’s or Morris’s of the period.
