Registration No: EWK 959 Chassis No: 48053 MOT: ExemptSubject to over £5,000 of mechanical works in the current ownership since purchased from H&H in 2021The beneficiary of previous extensive restoration including a new ash frameOffered with much documentation plus maintenance literatureIntroduced in 1937, the Daimler EL24 featured a 10ft 4in wheelbase and more interior space than many rivals thanks to the forward positioning of its 3.3-litre straight-six OHV engine. Based around a cruciform-braced, box-section chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, Luvax shock absorbers and Dewandre servo-assisted Girling drum brakes, the newcomer was available with a choice of open and closed coachwork some of which was crafted in-house, but most six-light Limousines were bodied by Charlesworth. The four-speed pre-selector gearbox was allied to the marque’s fluid flywheel and employed a direct drive top gear. It is believed that only 710 examples were made up until 1940.First registered on the 19th February 1940, chassis 48053 is understood to retain its original registration number ‘EWK 959’ which denotes that it was first delivered to the Coventry area. Little is known about its early history, but having survived its birth and early years during the depths of the Second World War it made its way to Mr Ron Rostron who acquired it during the late 1960’s. The vendor contacted Mr Rostron after acquiring the stately Limousine from the H&H May 2021 Duxford Sale and Mr Rostron remembered ‘EWK’ well. He recalled that he purchased the car from a roadside for £46 and the long lost buff logbook stated that the car was ‘destroyed in action’ in the Coventry factory where it was made – yet the car survives?Fast forward some years however, and the car was in the possession of a Mrs Anne Cannon who acquired it during 2003. It is understood that between Mrs Cannon's custodianship and it being sold to the previous owner during 2016 that 'EWK' was subject to a complete body and mechanical overhaul which included a new ash frame, respray, rewire, re-plating of the bright work and a re-trim with black leather in the driver’s compartment and a West of England Wool cloth trim in the passenger compartment. The car then spent some time in a museum on static display until the vendor acquired it in 2021 and entrusted the car to Connaught Cars to perform recommissioning works. In total, around £5,000 was spent during this time and the vendor now rates its all-round condition as ‘very good’ mechanically and cosmetically.Now offered for sale due a house-move within London that means that storage space is being lost, ‘EWK 959’ is a rare survivor that should be an excellent addition to any collection. This magnificent Daimler is offered complete with a large history file that evidences expenditure, plus a copy of ‘The Driving Member’ (The Daimler & Lanchester club’s magazine’ that features the car.

Registration No: VSV 526 Chassis No: 1210426503065 MOT: ExemptSubject to a complete body and mechanical overhaul during the 2010sPresented in the desirable colour scheme of Mercedes Silver over a Dark Blue leather interiorRecently subject to mechanical recommissioning after a period of dry storageSupplied with matching body-colour genuine hardtopThe 190SL was introduced in 1955 – the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR. Indeed, the graceful convertible grand tourer was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR – the 300SL - whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the ‘Ponton’ saloon (W121) platform, which was of monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine - an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 120bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a manual four-speed gearbox. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all round. Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the 230SL (W113). By this time 25,881 190SLs had been produced.According to build records on file, chassis 1210426503065 was despatched from the factory on the 14th July 1956 and originally painted in White, with black leather upholstery. Little is known of the early history of the two-seater, however it is known that the car was first delivered to the German home market before being registered in the Netherlands in 1968, where it was to remain until 2015 when it was imported to the UK by the previous owner. Upon arrival on UK shores, the 190SL was given the registration number ‘VSV 526’ by the DVLA and it is understood that it was around this time that the car was treated to a complete cosmetic and mechanical refresh and was repainted in the very attractive Mercedes Silver-Grey over Dark Blue Leather livery that it presents in today. A bill on file from Red Castle Classics of Caerphilly dating to 2019 evidences the fitment of a new mohair hood, painting of the hub caps and a major service which included setting valve clearances. The vendor acquired ‘VSV 526’ in 2022 after having spent over a year searching for the ‘right’ car and having viewed at least 10 examples. A now semi-retired master mechanic, the vendor was very specific about the car retaining a certain amount of originality and that the bodywork had to be in his view ‘tip-top’. Having found the Roadster, he purchased it with the view that he would be able to complete small mechanical tasks where necessary and use it during the summer months. Unfortunately, due to the vendor’s busy lifestyle, the 190SL has been sat relatively unused in his dry garage since acquisition and having performed minor tasks to improve the car and set it up ‘as well as it can be’, an imminent house move has taken priority, and it has been decided that the car should now find a new home.Upon inspection, it was noted that this example of Mercedes’ baby-roadster is certainly a very good-looking example, and the colour scheme has been particularly well chosen. Still running on the original twin Solex carburettors, it was noted during our short run to the photography session that the car was particularly pleasant to drive and resultingly evoked nostalgic thoughts of 1950’s and 60’s sunny Hollywood, where so many of these cars found favour with the moving picture stars of the time. The vendor’s opinion of the car is that it is ‘very good all round’ and pointed out only minor imperfections to us such as a small pinhole in the rear bumper that was chromed over, although this does evidence the car’s originality.The appeal of the 190SL has never faded and ‘VSV 526’ is now offered by the vendor having had some mechanical improvements ready for the H&H Duxford sale on April 9th. Offered complete with a hard to find body-coloured hardtop, the history file is complete with UK V5C, import paperwork and a photocopy of the aforementioned Mercedes-Benz build record.

Registration No: PN53 FBL Chassis No: WVWZZZ1JZ3D508840 MOT: August 2025Upgraded by Volkswagen specialists The Phirm, Surrey with a bespoke turbocharger installationStill retaining a very original look One of c.2,391 MkIV iterations of the R32Displaying a low mileage of some 54,518By the time Volkswagen got to the MkIV version of the Golf GTI, it had got heavier and slower. Something clearly needed to be done. Behold, the entry of the Golf R32 in the last two years of MkIV production, and undoubtedly the flagship of the Golf MkIV range. Built for just a few years from 2002 to 2004, it was loosely based on the same running gear as the Audi TT 3.2 Quattro. According to mkivr32.com, some 2,391 MkIV versions of the R32 were produced for the UK market. Rare in 2003, and even rarer to find today. The 3.2-litre V6 engine fitted to the R32, was a massively revised version of the perennial 2.8-litre V6 (née VR6) unit. The Golf is said to hit 60mph in a blink under 6.5 seconds and will only stop accelerating at 153mph. Rivals of the day included the Subaru Impreza and the original Ford Focus RS. The R32's design was more classless and more understated than them both. With subtle changes to the GTI looks, it is easy to spot an R32 from a plain GTI, it sits around 20mm lower, and then there is the addition of a body kit, with a roof spoiler and a large front bumper. Unique 18-inch multi-spoke alloys were fitted along with a bespoke exhaust. On the inside, body-hugging sports seats were fitted, ideal for when you were pressing on. Once again there was a hot Golf, ready to thrill and excite.Which brings us to this rather special MkIV Golf R32, first registered on 6th September 2003, the vendor purchased the R32 in February 2008, with some 14,000 miles on the clock. Having owned a few Volkswagens over the years, he knew the VAG specialists The Phirm, in Surrey, and set about discussions about turbocharging the R32. There was an EIP turbo-kit sourced from the USA and The Phirm made plans for a bespoke fit. A number of parts were sourced at a cost in excess of £15,000. A further substantial amount was then spent on ceramic coating with a company called Zircotec, specialists in reducing temperatures under the bonnet. The alloys are standard but diamond-cut to give them a stunning look and shod with Goodyear F1s. Large AP Racing brakes were sourced and modified to fit the R32, at a cost of some £5,000. The main request on the conversion was to make it look 'factory OEM', so, to the untrained eye, the engine looks much like any other R32. Inside, the double DIN stereo was replaced to house 3 gauges with matching trim to blend with the rest of the cockpit. The Phirm have looked after this car in our vendor's ownership. All in all, over £30,000 has been spent to get the R32 to the standard he wanted. The conversion took nearly a year to fully complete. All parts used were 'the best available' and with the timing chain replaced at c.37,000 miles, it now displays some 54,518 miles. Part of a small collection, the Golf is kept in a warm garage, only driven in sunny weather and never raced or tracked. It has covered some 35,000 miles since the modifications and serviced and MOT’d regardless of the mileage. There's a current V5, a comprehensive service history, receipts for works done, old MOTs, the bookpack and 2 keys.

Ca. 30 BC - AD 200. A gold ring composed of a round hoop and discoid bezel with a ropework border. It depicts an image of a bird of prey perching with wings spread and head turned. It has an inscription in an arc above the bird's head '·al : for : ye : best ·' (all for the best). The ring's find location is close to an estate which was owned in the 14th century by the Skrene family and which included among their number a senior barrister and sergeant-at-law named William Skrene who was an Irish-born barrister and judge. The family name lives on to the present day at Roxwell with Skreens Park and for local road names nearby. William spent his professional life in England, being appointed King's Serjeant and a judge of assize, as well as Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer in 1395-7. In addition to the estate at Roxwell, he acquired various lands in Essex, including at Writtle, Great Finborough and Stanford Rivers. William died in 1419-20 and left sons and a daughter; his heir, also called William, married Alice Tyrrell, widow of Hamo Strange, and daughter of John Tyrrell, who was Speaker of the House of Commons of England for three terms. The exact combination of motto and crest or badge has eluded researches thus far. However, the ring was found near Roxwell, Essex, and evidently belonged to a person of some wealth and status given the quantity of gold used in its manufacture and the quality of the workmanship. The style of the ring is close in appearance to a number of early 15th century examples, which began to appear with the badge and motto rather than the full armorial bearings, so it is very possible that this is the personal signet ring of William Skrene, or possibly of his sons, William or Thomas.
