A CARVED GILTWOOD CONSOLE TABLE 18TH CENTURY AND LATER, IN THE MANNER OF WILLIAM KENT The rectangular Portor marble top above an acanthus-carved frieze on paired massive eagle supports with spread wings and rocky plinth bases, regilt 95cm high, 184cm wide, 74cm deep Provenance: The Hon. Claude J. Yorke, and thence by descent Illustrated: The Connoisseur, May 1965, p.3  This console table relates to a giltwood table with a rectangular black marble top inlaid with pietre dure created by William Kent (1685-1748) for the 'Lords Dressing Room and Closet' (now the Blue Velvet Room) at Chiswick House, London, in c. 1727-32, for Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington; it is now at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire (illustrated ed. S. Soros, William Kent: Designing Georgian Britain, New Haven and London, 2014, p. 495, fig. 18.37). Another pair of similar tables with eagle supports, attributed to Kent, is in the collection of the National Trust at Hatchlands Park, Surrey (NT 1166453.1-2). The eagle supports derive from antiquity, from Ovid's Metamorphoses when the shepherd Ganymede was borne aloft by an eagle to serve as Jupiter's attendant at the banquet of the gods. The design may have been invented by Kent, who depicted a pair of warring eagles atop a low table for Alexander Pope's rendition of the Odyssey (1725-26), and again for the tailpiece at the end of the list of plates in vol. 2 of his Designs of Inigo Jones (1727) (Soros, p. 422, fig. 16.12; p. 423). The Edinburgh cabinet-maker, Francis Brodie, included an eagle table on his trade card, published in 1739 (F. Bamford, Dictionary of Edinburgh Furniture-Makers, Leeds, 1983, pl. 24a). Eagle consoles include a pair formerly at Glemham Hall, Suffolk, sold Christie's, New York, 13 April, 2016, lot 30 ($245,000 inc. premium) and a single eagle table sold by the late Sir John Gooch, 12th Bt., Benacre Hall, Suffolk, Sotheby's house sale, 9-11 May 2000, lot 163 (£10,800 inc. premium). Condition Report: Good, structurally secure with dents marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks due to age and use. The marble top in good condition with some edge chips. The frame entirely re-gilt, the carcase timbers showing traces of a yellow wash and with old labels from Maples Depository. The wholesale redecoration of the table renders it difficult to determine with confidence the age are materials used but it appears the rectangular frame supporting the marble is 18th century, the applied leaf decoration may well be later. The eagles are probably also later, they don't seem to have the spirit of the 18th century and are very close mirror images suggesting they suggesting they were produced in a very considered way (untypical of the 18th century). That said the table is a handsome and imposing piece with great presence and in `showroom condition'. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y &nbspA PAIR OF GEORGE IV ROSEWOOD AND RED LEATHER UPHOLSTERED BERGÈRE LIBRARY ARMCHAIRS OR 'CURRICLE' CHAIRS CIRCA 1825, IN THE MANNER OF GILLOWS Each of typical 'tub' form and with reeded legs to the front 89cm high, 55cm wide, 73cm deepThis form of bergere was named a 'curricle', after the Roman magistrate or consul's seat, by Thomas Sheraton in The Cabinet Dictionary, London, 1803.

RICHARD WESTMACOTT (1775-1856) A MARBLE PORTRAIT BUST OF CHARLES JAMES FOX 1818 Signed and dated "RD. Westmacott R.A 1818" 70cm high It is likely that this exact bust is the one referred to in the National Portrait Gallery summation of the known portraits of the Whig statesman Charles James Fox (1749-1806): "1816- Statue by Richard Westmacott jr., whole-length seated, the Magna Carta in his right hand. Bloomsbury Square, London (illus. M. Busco, Sir Richard Westmacott, 1994, p 73). Engraved S. W. Reynolds and W. Ward 1817. A bronze model formerly at Holland House. The head based on Nollekens's 1801 bust. Separate marble busts by Westmacott sold Christie's, 28 January 1988, lot 189, and formerly at Alscot Park; bronze busts sold Sotheby's, 15 July 1998, lot 38 (as Nollekens), and in Brooks's, London." As the NPG indicates, the Bloomsbury Square statue of Fox and the accompanying separate busts may well have drawn inspiration in their depiction from Nollekens's 1801/1802 bust- a version of which is held in the NPG itself (NPG 3887). The other portrait by Westmacott is in Westminster Abbey- Fox's monument, depicted supported by Liberty, mourned by Peace and thanked by Africa. (illus. M. Busco, Sir Richard Westmacott, 1994, p 70).

Registration No: Y834 MWL Chassis No: SCFAC133X1B500004 MOT: July 2025Loaned by Aston Martin to EON Productions for a photoshoot at Pinewood Studios with Pierce Brosnan to promote the twentieth James Bond film, 'Die Another Day'Finished in the same Tungsten Silver with Charcoal leather and an aluminium centre console as the hero cars in the film (hence the reason it was requested for the photoshoot)A notably early production example and one of seven cars which were initially retained by the factory for press dutiesSubsequently road registered as 'M16 SPY' and 'A12 AML'Part of a prominent Aston Martin collection since 2003The lead car in a parade to commemorate the opening of the M6 Toll roadJust c.37,800 miles from newPLEASE NOTE: The check engine light has recently appeared on this lot.A landmark model in Aston Martin’s history, the Vanquish MkI was unveiled at the 2001 Geneva Salon. Styled by Ian Callum and notable as his first ‘clean sheet’ design for the marque (as opposed to the DB7 which sat on a modified Jaguar platform), the newcomer featured a bonded composite aluminium chassis with carbon fibre backbone. Developed in conjunction with Lotus, the structure was equipped with all-round independent suspension and four-wheel, ventilated ABS disc brakes. A true Grand Tourer available in two-seater or 2+2-seater guises, the Vanquish was powered by a 6-litre V12 DOHC engine allied to automated six-speed manual transmission. With some 460bhp and 400lbft of torque on tap, the Fixed-Head Coupe was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5 seconds and 190mph. Although it broke a lot of new ground, the Vanquish was also notable as the last Aston Martin to be handbuilt at Newport Pagnell, with just 1,503 being completed before the arrival of the Vanquish ‘S’ in 2004. Confident that it had produced a winner, Aston Martin readied seven early production cars for UK press duties road registering them as ‘Y829 MWL’ through to ‘Y836 MWL’ during June 2001 (with the exception of ‘Y830 MWL’). The septet then appeared in a plethora of magazines and brochures. Taken on a road trip to Scotland, this particular example – ‘Y834 MWL’ – was the subject of a multi-page article entitled ‘Loch, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’. However, its true claim to fame came was when it was delivered to Pinewood Studios to be photographed alongside Pierce Brosnan as part of the promotional campaign for the twentieth James Bond film, ‘Die Another Day’.Notable as the first 007 outing since ‘The Living Daylights’ in 1987 to star a current Aston Martin model as the hero car, ‘Die Another Day’ signified a re-forging of the links amid the British manufacturer and EON Productions such that the world’s most famous spy has remained a resolute Aston man ever since! Invited to the factory before filming commenced, Brosnan was sufficiently bowled over by the Vanquish to acquire one which remained with him until 2015 (when it was sadly destroyed in a house fire). Finished in the same Tungsten Silver with Charcoal leather and an aluminium centre console as the Vanquish's that lit up the silver screen but sadly lacking their ejector seat, missiles and machine guns, ‘Y834 MWL’ was an obvious choice for the Pierce Brosnan / Pinewood Studios photoshoot which was subsequently syndicated worldwide. Indeed, images from the iconic collaboration between James Bond and ‘Y834 MWL’ are still being used by numerous newspapers, magazines and websites today. Having graced the front cover of Aston Martin News in February 2002, the GT sported the appropriate number plate ‘M16 SPY’ for a brief while before being sold to the vendor by JCT600 of Leeds the following year. A prominent (and prolific) Aston Martin collector, the seller has enjoyed exhibiting his ‘James Bond’ Vanquish at numerous events and shows over the years, not to mention touring abroad with the Aston Martin Owners’ Club to the Le Mans 24-hours and Portugal etc. However, his favourite memory of the Tungsten-hued Coupe is from 9th December 2003 when he headed the parade of cars which were the very first to use the M6 Toll road. Registered as ‘A12 AML’ at the time (aping the ‘V12 AML’ number used by the factory), the GT reverted to its most famous plate ‘Y834 MWL’ during February 2022. Accompanying service invoices suggest that the Vanquish has covered 18,000 of its warranted c.37,800 miles in the vendor’s hands (albeit less than 4,000 of those have been accrued over the past decade). Highly original, the GT looks very much the same as it did when promoting ‘Die Another Day’ twenty-two years ago. Any Vanquish is a special car with Evo magazine naming the model as one of its 25 most significant performance cars of the last 25 years in 2023 and commenting thus: “If the DB4 of 1958 signalled the start of Aston’s original golden era, the Vanquish kick-started a new golden age that would see Gaydon-built cars, led by DB9 and Vantage, achieve unprecedented sales. Quite simply, it sparked the most successful period in Aston history, and for that Aston fans – and really anyone who enjoys the rich tapestry of performance cars – should be forever grateful”. However, as a bona fide piece of James Bond memorabilia, ‘Y834 MWL’ has a significance all its own. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file, owners handbook and service book plus current MOT certificate valid until July 2025.

Registration No: 161 XUL Chassis No: BC49CH MOT: Exempt1 of just 45 RHD S1 Continental chassis bodied by Park Ward to its Design Number 701Subject to an extensive restoration which included conversion to Drophead Coupé format by A&B PriceThe beneficiary of approximately £200,000 worth of expenditure with marque specialists such as Frank Dale and Jonathan Padgett in the current ownershipUnveiled in Autumn 1955 some six months after its Bentley S1 Standard Steel Saloon sibling, the Continental version was only available to coach-built special order. Featuring a higher compression ratio and taller back axle ratio, the newcomer was found capable of over 120mph. Underpinned by the same cruciform-braced box-section chassis as the ‘basic’ S1, complete with independent front suspension, a well-located ‘live’ rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes, most of the coachbuilders that clothed it favoured aluminium over steel. Lighter and nimbler than the standard factory offering, Continentals were typically some fifty per cent more expensive too. Long considered among the best engines Bentley ever made, the S1’s 4.9 litre straight-six was famed for its blend of torque, refinement and durability and was thus well-suited to the standard fit four-speed automatic transmission. Among the era's fastest and most exclusive four-seaters, the last of 431 S1 Continentals was completed in 1959. Mentored by A.F. McNeil at J. Gurney Nutting & Co Ltd during the mid-1930s and subsequently promoted to Chief Designer there, John Polwhele Blatchley joined Rolls-Royce during WWII. A stylistic influence on every generation of Bentley from the MkVI through to the T-Series, he took control of in-house coachbuilder Park Ward’s designs from 1952 onwards and was later credited with penning the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Decidedly elegant but with various a la mode twists such as its subtly integrated vestigial tail finds, Park Ward’s Design Numbers 700 and 701 for the Bentley S1 Continental chassis were typical of Blatchley’s creative ethos. Evolving through issues one and two, later versions of the sleek, two-door Drophead Coupé and Fixed Head Coupé variants utilised the same tail-lights as the Standard Steel Saloon integrating them into the base of the tailfins. Park Ward bodied a total of sixty-nine Bentley S1 Continental chassis to its Design Number 701 (with forty-five being to right-hand drive specification) with a further eighty-nine Drophead Coupés to Design Number 700. The aluminium clad Drophead Coupé is considered to be one of the most desirable Bentley Continental variants and therefore examples today are regularly seen for sale at more than £1,000,000. This has resulted in a small number of Fixed Head Coupes being converted to Drophead Coupe specification. According to Martin Bennett’s authoritative book ‘Bentley Continental, Corniche and Azure’, chassis BC49CH was bodied by Park Ward as a Fixed Head Coupe to its Design Number 701. Delivered in November 1957 to A. Beatty, it was initially registered as ‘UXF 100’. The ‘A. Beatty’ in question is understood to have been Sir Alfred Chester Beatty; an American-British mining magnate who moved to London from New York City in 1911. Known as the ‘The King of Copper’, his donations were pivotal to the establishment and survival of what is now The Institute of Cancer Research. Little else is known about the four-seater’s early history until 1990 when the previous owner entrusted it to A&B Price for restoration and conversion to Drophead Coupé specification. Reportedly using an original Design Number 700 Drophead Coupe as a template, A&B Price carried out a limited number of such transformations around this time which were noted for their quality and accuracy. A taller gentleman, the last keeper requested that the rear hood line be raised slightly so that he could ride comfortably in the back should someone else take the wheel. Part of the vendor’s imposing Bentley Continental collection since 2008, when he purchased it from marque specialist Frank Dale & Stepsons, ‘161 XUL’ has been lavishly maintained and improved to the tune of over £200,000. Acknowledged specialist Padgett Motor Engineers have thoroughly overhauled the original engine, not to mention attending to the automatic transmission and back axle. The hood has been re-profiled and renewed in Dark Green mohair, while the interior upholstery, boot and wood veneers have been refurbished (the associated SimTrim of Spalding bills totalling £50,000 plus). The cubbies to the driver and passenger doors house a seemingly unused picnic set, while the dashboard contains a digitalised Becker Mexico stereo. Performing notably well on a recent outing, the Bentley has lived up to its name making numerous trips to mainland Europe with the seller. Accumulating sundry stone chips as a result, it nonetheless remains highly presentable to our eyes. A rare coachbuilt Bentley S1 Continental in both its original and secondary guises, ‘161 XUL’ has been better maintained than many of its siblings. A singularly elegant motorcar, it is worthy of close inspection. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: JNP 570 Chassis No: GS2501760 MOT: ExemptA clean example that was subject to a comprehensive overhaul in the late 80s / early 90sFloor gearchange exampleSporting a delightful original 'special order' interiorSubject to recent cylinder head overhaul and attention to the bodyworkIntroduced in 1947, the A40 was Austin's first 'clean sheet' post-WW2 family saloon design. Based on a sturdy chassis frame equipped with independent front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by a 1200cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission. With 40bhp on tap, it was reputedly capable of over 70mph. Once production was in full swing and the principal Devon (four-door) and Dorset (two-door) saloon models firmly established, other variants joined the A40 line-up including a Jensen-designed sports four-seater, 10cwt Pickup, 10cwt Van and Estate car (or 'Countryman' as it was known).First registered on 29th July 1950, ‘JNP 570’ is a rare example of an Austin A40 Devon, that was supplied from new in the attractive colour scheme of Black over a special order Grey interior with a rare Smiths clock rear-view mirror and a floor-change gearbox. Little is known of the early history of the Austin, however, it has been evidently very well looked after and has retained much of its original interior, even following a comprehensive body restoration during the late 1980s / early 1990s.Purchased by the vendor in 2015, ‘JNP 570’ has been cherished as part of a small private collection and has been maintained impeccably throughout his period of ownership. Recent works include a cylinder head overhaul during which hardened valve seats were fitted so that the car could comfortably be run on unleaded petrol. The front of the body has received much attention to the metalwork and paint. Now offered at No Reserve at our Duxford auction, the Austin is described as being in ‘very good’ order all round and will instantly transport any prospective owner back to an age when these now rare cars were de rigueur on the streets of Britain.PLEASE NOTE: A previous owner has been in contact and described that this A40 Devon is a very well known car with an extensive history file. We are indebted to previous owner, Mr David Whyley for his description: The car was first registered on 29th July 1950 to Victor Morral of the Motor House Broadway Road Evesham and in the early 1980’s, the car was then taken in payment for a job by a worker at a house in the Evesham area. It would later be offered for Auction at a Wolverhampton car auction and then Trevor Bradley acquired it on the 20th March 1981 when it was re-commissioned for the road. David and Anne Whyley bought it from him on 30/05/8 when it had covered just 49,000 miles. David and Anne would be custodians of the A40 for thirty years during which time it would be featured in many magazine articles and documentaries including "The Car is the Star". David also overhauled the engine at 89,000 miles and replaced all of the chromework with new old stock fittings. David is a highly regarded Austin historian and described 'JNP 570' as "one of the best preserved examples left in existence today."

Registration No: URK 397 Chassis No: BN1223802 MOT: ExemptUnderstood to have been despatched directly to Donald Healey Garages in 1955 before receiving a full conversion to M-specificationBelieved to have been raced in the US and at the Nassau Speed week before being repatriated to the UK as early as 1958Retaining its original M-specification engine plus a BN2 four-speed gearbox with overdriveMille Miglia eligibleDonald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show. It was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and sported a notably sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. It was dubbed the 'Healey Hundred' (a moniker chosen to reflect the car's ability to reach the magic 100mph), and, subject to a suitably encouraging response, Healey planned to build production versions in-house at his factory in Warwick. As things transpired, not only did the Ice Blue prototype more than impress the public, but it also excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, so much that he struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin-Healey 100/4. The rest, as they say, is history.The 100/4's chassis was a departure from the company's previous backbone designs and comprised a pair of three-inch square box-section side members running the length of the car, some 17 inches apart. These were braced by parallel and cruciform cross-members to which the steel floor pressings were attached. After the first 25 cars had been constructed at Healey's own premises in Warwick, the production of the mainstream bodyshells was turned over to Jensen. Once complete, the shells were transported to Longbridge, where the Healeys were assembled alongside the A90.As part of his tireless publicity campaign to promote the newly introduced Austin-Healey 100/4 BN1, Donald Healey entered a team of four pre-production cars for the 1953 Le Mans 24-hour race. Running with standard windscreens, interiors and even bumpers, two of this mildly tweaked quartet survived to finish 12th and 14th overall (an amazing result for such comparatively inexpensive cars in near showroom condition). Eager to capitalise on this success (and also to comply with the event's homologation requirements) Healey persuaded BMC to list a 'Le Mans kit' (twin 1.75 inch SU carburettors, high-lift camshaft, revised distributor advance curve and stronger valve springs etc) in its parts catalogue for 1954. Known officially as part P-280, it was available to fit on new or old models alike, and by dealers or private individuals. A handful of BN1 100s were to be delivered from Longbridge directly to the Donald Healey Motor Co. to be fitted with the 'Le Mans Modification Kit' when new; but upon launch of the BN2 it was to be adopted by BMC themselves for the 100M version and subsequently introduced at the 1955 London Motor Show. The upgrade has remained a popular modification package ever since and continues to be reproduced today.According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, chassis BN1/223802 was built on 8th February 1955 in right-hand drive configuration for the Australian market. It is said to have all the hallmarks of a car that was uprated to ‘Le Mans’ specification at Donald Healey’s Warwick factory rather than being modified (either in period or more modern times) by a dealer or private individual. The requisite ‘telltales’ apparently being: a bend in the shroud bracket to clear the cool air box, aluminium louvred bonnet (crafted by Jensen cars) and hand etched numbering to the uprated SU carburettors etc. Seemingly shipped to the Bahamas when new (rather than Sydney), the 100 is further understood to have participated in that year’s Nassau Speed Week. Sadly, there are no reliable records to confirm its participation. The Big Healey is understood to have had a damaged rear end and have been repainted British Racing Green over Yellow when it was found by Dr Pryor whilst holidaying in the Bahamas during 1957. The vendor believes there is a chance that BN1/223802 was diverted to Nassau at the behest of Sir Sydney and Lady Greta Oakes who were prominent members of the Caribbean racing scene at the time and friends with Donald Healey.Repatriated by Dr Pryor in 1958 and issued with the Croydon registration number ‘URK 397’, he took the two-seater off the road following an accident in which his daughter was injured but retained possession until 1971. First owned by the vendor from 1980-1985 during which time he had it restored and repainted in its original Ice Blue over Old English White colours, the 100 later passed to Tony Elshof who previously served as the Austin-Healey Club’s Competitions Secretary and amassed a collection of significant examples of the marque. Changing hands several times thereafter, including a sojourn in France, ‘URK 397’ was reacquired by the seller during 2018. Entrusted to Rose’s Garage and Bushell’s Vehicle Restorations for servicing and maintenance since then, the Big Healey is deemed to be in ‘very good overall’ mechanical condition. Running and driving well during our recent photography session, the improved BN2 four-speed manual gearbox and gearlever-operated overdrive were both a boon. Although no longer concours, the two-seater remains presentable. Potentially eligible for such prestigious events as the Mille Miglia Storica, ‘URK 397’ is offered for sale with extensive history file, spare wheel, hood, tonneau cover and spare parts (the original, very rare distributor vacuum unit and the original cylinder head). It will also be accompanied by the V5C Registration Document.i For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: BAS 324 Chassis No: 824.041.1328 MOT: August 2025One of only 847 Flaminia GT Convertibles builtSubject to a full restoration during the 1990s with a high standard of maintenance work continuing through to todayRegarded as the best handling GT car of its timeOffered with a comprehensive history file dating back to the late 1980s, which includes images of restoration worksIntroduced at the Turin Auto Show in 1957, Lancia’s Flaminia line was the successor to the ground-breaking Aurelia. The Flaminia inherited the Aurelia’s revolutionary DeVirgilio-designed V6 and rear-mounted transaxle, but the earlier model’s sliding pillar front suspension was replaced by a more modern unequal-length double-wishbone front suspension and the V6's stroke was decreased while the bore sizes increased for higher revving. The Flaminia platform was so excellent that it was subject to a number of coachbuilt designs to complement the factory Pinin Farina offering from the likes of Zagato for the 'Sport', Pinin Farina themselves for the 'Coupé' and 'Speciale' and of course Carozzeria Touring for the 'GT' and 'GTL' models.The very rakishly designed Carrozzeria Touring 'GT' first appeared in 1959 and was constructed with an attractive Aluminium 'Superleggera' body. Available in both Coupé and Convertible forms, the GT featured ultra modern twin headlights, finned rear wings and a shortened wheelbase to be proportionally more satisfying as a two seater. The early cars were powered by the 2458cc version of the V6 engine fed by a Solex Carburettor, which was considerably 'hotted up' for the GT and produced 117hp - an increase of 16hp over the more pedestrian Berlina.As expensive as its rival Aston Martin DB4 when launched, the Flaminia GT was out of the league of the 'many' and its stunning looks appealed to major continental stars such as Marcello Mastroianni and Jean-Paul Belmondo. The Flaminia's other party trick, its handling characteristics, appealed to the likes of Juan-Manuel Fangio and Peter Collins, with Enzo Ferrari committing to print that the GT was 'the best handling car available'. Now a hugely under-appreciated Italian thoroughbred that is both incredibly usable and astonishingly pretty, these rare Lancias represent fantastic value for money against their contemporary peers.According to an email from Massimo Castagnola of the Fiat Group, referencing original Lancia factory records that are on file, chassis 824.041.1328 was manufactured on the 17th April 1961 with its body painted in the attractive colour scheme of 'Grey Newmarket' with the interior in 'Red Sky'. Purported to have been in the custodianship of its first owner in Salinas, USA from 1961 to 1989, the first officially documented part of the car's history was from its purchase by a Mr R D Pardilla of San Diego in 1989, by which time it was clothed in a Light Metallic Blue. Mr Padilla would keep the Lancia for 9 years, and having found the Light Metallic Blue rather distasteful opted to have it re-painted Red prior to its sale to a Mr Burbani. Mr Burbani immediately exported the Flaminia from the USA to his son, a resident in Ravenna, Italy, where it was immediately stripped down to begin a comprehensive restoration for which there are many photographs on file. It is understood that Mr Burbani only got to the stage of having the colour painted and assembled as a rolling shell with a re-trimmed interior and new Black mohair hood before its sale in 2001 to the previous long-term keeper, Mr I G Harmond - who was a British resident, who continued with the completion of the restoration. It is noted in the history file that the engine was changed around this period to a unit from a Lancia Flaminia Berlina, due to a fault with the original engine, which is understood to be missing. Mr Harmond then imported the Flaminia into the UK where it was registered as 'BAS 324' before it was purchased by the current keeper through esteemed restorer and sales outfit, Thornley Kelham.In the vendor's ownership and since restoration, 'BAS 324' has been subject to a comprehensive maintenance schedule - with an extensive file of receipts from specialists such as Tanc Barratt, Thornley Kelham and Omicron on file. The most recent of these invoices was from Tanc Barratt for dynamic balancing of the flywheel, replacement of the prop shaft coupling and refitting of the clutch (which had been recently replaced in a previous invoice), due to a small vibration that the vendor had picked up on. The vendor drives his car collection regularly and expects nothing less than mechanical excellence, so when a small fluid leak from the transaxle was picked up during our inspection, he immediately booked the car in for inspection and rectification in this area. As a result, the vendor describes the mechanical condition of the Lancia to be 'very good' to 'excellent' making this a fine driver's car. Cosmetically, the restoration (now the best part of 25 years old) has stood up well to the test of time, however, interested parties should note that some paint rectification will be needed to make the Flaminia a Concours D'Elegance winner. The vendor describes the cosmetic condition as 'good' as a result, but advises it will still makes a gorgeous show car for the time being.Having decided that he is simply not using the Lancia due to the ownership of a collection of modern classic Aston Martins, and an impending house move, the vendor has decided that it is now time to find a new custodian for his prized Italian soft-top. It is offered with a V5C Registration Document. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: AGW 127G Chassis No: 11501022021898 MOT: February 2025An extremely original M-B 220 SaloonPart of a beautiful small family collectionSupplied with extensive history, pictures, and trophies as a M-B show winner 2016Previously displayed at the London Classic Car Show and the NEC Classic Motor Show 2017The Mercedes-Benz W114 (6-cyl. petrol) and W115 (4-cyl. petrol) were the internal designations Mercedes-Benz used for a generation of front-engined, rear-drive, five-passenger Saloons and Coupés introduced in 1968, with three-box styling by Paul Bracq, chief designer at Mercedes-Benz 1957 to 1967 - a period that included models such as the 600 ‘Grosser’ and manufactured until model year 1976, when the W123 was launched. Mercedes used an '8' on the W114/115 ID plates, indicating their 1968 launch year, giving rise to their 'slash eight' or 'strich acht' nickname. It was announced as a ‘new generation’ for the upper medium-size category, sitting below the S-Class. It set the benchmark for a whole generation of cars with its outstanding qualities.In 2008, the vendor purchased what is an extremely original 1969 example of the 4-cylinder 220, ‘AGW 127G’, following an advertisement in the Mercedes-Benz Club Gazette. With just 4 previous keepers recorded, the first, a Mr Jack Daniels, owned the car for some 27 years and the second, a Dr Bliss, owned ‘AGW’ for 12 years before entering into a third custodianship, that of a lady in Kent, only covering a few hundred miles before a house move to the United States initiated the sale of ‘AGW’ and the vendor's ownership.Described as ‘original’ and having never been restored, wearing 'one or two small imperfections', ‘AGW’ currently displays some 59,600 credible miles, evident from service invoices and MOT paperwork. ’AGW’ is said to have been regularly serviced and MOT'd annually (paperwork on file). With automatic transmission and power steering, there’s the promise of an easy drive and a refined and comfortable Mercedes driving experience; the vendor has stated how well the car drives. Many 220s would have seen use as ‘workhorses’, so, imagine finding a car with such beautiful original pattern Cream leather. In addition, the interior is furnished with a period-correct Becker Europa radio with an adapter in the glovebox enabling music to be downloaded and played back. As you’d expect, there’s a pleasing amount of original paperwork, invoices, an original logbook and photographs present, along with trophies that this very original car has deservedly earned over the years. Examples of the Saloon iteration of the ‘slash eight’ series are seldom seen these days. A much admired, original and very driveable classic, 'AGW’ is ready to be enjoyed by the next custodian.

The North West Frontier campaign medal awarded to Captain S. M. Bruce, 37th Lancers, who was killed in action in South Persia in May 1918 India General Service 1908-35, 1 clasp, North West Frontier 1908 (Captn. S. M. Bruce, 37th Lcrs.) toned, nearly extremely fine £500-£700 --- M.I.D. London Gazette 31 October 1917. Stanley Malcolm Bruce was born on 6 August 1878 at Hythe, Kent. He was educated Aberdeen House Ramsgate, under George Simmers, Clerk in Holy Orders, and at Wellington College, passing for Sandhurst. He was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the 4th Dragoon Guards on 16 February 1898; Indian Staff Corps, 19 May 1900; Lieutenant, 7th Bombay Lancers (Baluch Horse), 25 June 1900; Captain, 37th Lancers (Baluch Horse) 16 February 1907; Brevet-Major, 1 September 1915; Major, 6 April 1917. D.A.A.G. 25 October 1917. He was present at the punitive action against the Zakka Khel Afridis, 13th-27th February 1908. The rapid advance of Major-General Sir James Willcocks' column combined with the use of the new 10-pounder breech-loading mountain gun using smokeless powder so surprised the Afridis that they submitted quickly to the British forces. He was mentioned in despatches in October 1917 for operations against the Lashanis, Tutakis, Charrahis and other robber tribes in South Persia. Sykes states from his History of Persia, ‘In April a section of the 23rd mountain Battery under Major R. S. Rothwell, a squadron of the 37th Lancers under Major S. M. Bruce, and a wing of the 124th Baluchis under Lieutenant-Colonel E. F. Twigg, reached Bandar Abbas from Bushire. This tiny force may perhaps claim the “record” for distance marched during the Great War, most of the troops covering 5,000 miles during the next three years. It also won considerable success in the field.’ Major Bruce is mentioned continuously throughout the narrative and was also involved in reconnaissance work with Major V. P. B. Williams, 4th Cavalry, in surveying 113 miles of roads for military use when Bruce was in charge of the Niriz Column. By May 1918 warfare had broken out among the tribes and Shiraz was invested by up to 5000 Qashqai tribesmen. Between 24th-26th May, Colonel E. F. Orton, 37th/15th Lancers, led a force out of Shiraz to break the siege. IOR/L/MIL/17/15/30 contains Captain N. De Brath’s despatch of the action in which Major Bruce was killed. Bruce's small force had lost communications with the main army by helio and were forced to keep a 700 yard distance from the deadly accurate Qashqai riflemen. In the ensuing skirmishes the force was outmanoeuvred in the difficult terrain by an enemy that was both cunning and ruthless. As he lay dying Major Bruce said to his Senior Indian Officer “I shall be dead soon. Hold on to this position and beat then off with fire”. Volunteers were called to assist bringing in Major Bruce and the wounded; two men of the Burma Mounted Rifles and four men 37th/15th Lancers were taken out at a gallop. Major Bruce is buried in the British War Cemetery Tehran. He was 39 years old and a bachelor. The Medal Index Card for the 37th Lancers shows that he was entitled to the British War and Victory Medals which were issued by the Indian government. Their whereabouts are unknown but it is probable that they were sent to his brother, Major John Bruce, serving in the Indian Remount Department who had taken over the administration of his brother's Will. Sold with an extensive file of copied research, including a photographic image of the recipient. For the C.B. pair awarded to the recipient’s father, see Lot 63.

A Great War gold memorial locket of Lieutenant R. G. Hunter, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders A fine locket by Solomon Blanckensee & Son. Ltd., 35mm, gold (9ct., 13.92g, hallmarks for Birmingham 1918) with top wearing loop, rose gold to exterior, yellow gold to interior, bearing the Regimental crest of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders engraved to obverse and monogram 'R.G.H.' to reverse, with miniature portrait of the recipient to interior in full officer's dress uniform with tied lock of hair mounted behind glass lunettes, further engraved to interior 'Lieut R. G. Hunter, 7th. A. & S. H. Born 26 Sept. 1892, Fell at Roeux, France, 23 Apl. 1917.’, extremely fine £300-£400 --- Robert Gibson Hunter was born in Falkirk on 26 September 1892, the youngest son of iron works founder Robert Hunter of Glenfuir Mansion House, Falkirk. Educated at Morrison's Academy, Crieff, and Edinburgh University, he graduated Master of Arts (1913) and took employment as a law apprentice with Messrs. Miller Thomson and Co., in Edinburgh. A member of the University O.T.C., Hunter began the process of studying for a Bachelor of Law degree in 1914, but this was soon placed on hold upon his appointment to a commission in the 7th Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, in February 1915.  Posted to France 28 July 1915, Hunter was advanced Lieutenant in 1916 and was killed in action in command of "A" Company, 7th Battalion, on the Western Front. A contemporary newspaper article adds a little more information: 'In a letter to the recipient's mother, his C.O. wrote: "It is with the greatest regret that I have to tell you that your son was killed on the 23rd April 1917 while gallantly leading his Company in the attack. He was doing splendidly, and was proving himself a most capable officer, while his cheery disposition always encouraged the men. We will all feel his loss very much...' Hunter is buried at Level Crossing Cemetery in the Pas-de-Calais, France. A short while later his mother would hear the news that another son, Captain Archibald Smith Hunter M.C., was killed on 29 August 1918, her third child lost to war following the death of Lieutenant John Hunter during the South African Campaign in 1900. Sold with a copied photograph of the recipient in military uniform from which the miniature portrait was posthumously modelled. For the Queen’s South Africa Medal awarded to the recipient’s brother, see Lot 395.

Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, no clasp (Lieut: J. Hunter, V: Co: A. & S. Highrs:) nearly extremely fine £280-£340 --- John Hunter was born in Leith in 1878, the eldest son of iron works founder Robert Hunter of Glenfuir Mansion House, Falkirk. Educated at Falkirk High School, he fell under his father's wing and took initial employment at Portdownie Iron Works. On 27 December 1895, Hunter attested for the 4th Volunteer Battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Appointed to "D" (Falkirk) Company as Private, he was advanced to a commission in July 1897. Sent to Chelsea Barracks in London, he secured the P.S. Certificate (distinguished) and another for knowledge of tactics. He also proved himself a crack shot at Bisley.  An eager and enthusiastic young officer, Hunter ranked amongst the first to volunteer his services at the outbreak of the Boer War. Sent to the Cape, his active service proved fleeting when he was struck down with enteric fever at Heilbron in the Free State. Evacuated to hospital, he succumbed on 30 June 1900. The Falkirk & Midland Counties Journal of 7 July 1900, adds: 'Lieut. Hunter was well-known and respected, and where his readiness in volunteering for active service was regarded as showing a praiseworthy and patriotic spirit, his death has caused widespread and profound grief, and many deeply regret the end that has thus been brought to what gave promise of being a successful career.’ Four days later, the Falkirk Herald added a brief line from his commanding officer: ‘A better soldier and a better man I never wish to meet.’ For the Great War gold memorial locket relating to the recipient’s younger brother, see Lot 569.

watercolour on paper, signed and titled mounted, framed and under glass image size 38cm x 28cm, overall size 60cm x 50cm Note: After the war, Patrick returned to Dundee with his wife and family and began painting outdoors rather than in the studio which he had upstairs in his house. By the 1950's he had perfected his style and technique in outdoor landscape painting and began recording his beloved Angus countryside on canvas, working in all seasons and all weather conditions. His style was traditional and he didn't have much time for ''contemporary'' interpretations of landscape. ''The Tay Bridge from My Studio Window'', painted in 1947, is probably the best known of Patrick's works and illustrates the detailed style which he had finally decided upon as suiting his temperament best. He was elected a full member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1957. His reputation grew throughout the sixties and seventies and by the early eighties, he was a giant in the Scottish art world. James McIntosh Patrick was an exemplar in his life and work and imparted his knowledge freely. He was, without doubt, the most able landscape painter that Scotland has produced in the 20th century and stands on equal terms with most of Europe's best landscape painters of that era. Sixty of his pictures are held in UK public collections at many of the finest museums and galleries in the UK.

High-grade archival paper. Printed to the edge of the sheet. Fine, quality printing. Very good to fine condition. Provenance: Through the photographer Wolfgang Sievers; from an extensive private collection, Melbourne, Australia. Comment(s): From Newton's Private Property Collection #1. It features actress and model Vibeke Knudsen “standing alone in a lamplit Parisian street. Styled in a deliberately androgynous outfit made up of Yves Saint Laurent's cult Le Smoking dinner jacket, pin-striped wide leg formal trousers and white tie, the photograph was to immortalize the Yves Saint Laurent aesthetic that took over the 1970’s. Newton loved to shoot outdoors and this night-time scene, using only the street lighting available, was directly drawn from the nocturnal photographs of his hero, Brassai. Recalling the shoot in an interview with New York Magazine in 1988 Newton said: 'Vibeke was a girl I often worked with in those days. The idea was a man-woman standing in the street at night - the street, in fact, in Paris' Marais district, where I lived for 14 years.’ Newton’s own house can be seen in the background.” Image copyright © Helmut Newton Foundation.
