Following the take-over of Bentley Motors Ltd. by Rolls-Royce Ltd., the first design from the Derby works to wear the Bentley name was a chassis geared to the sporting market with a 3,669cc engine and first deliveries were made in the last quarter of 1933. In spring 1936, deliveries of the 4,257cc version commenced and in late 1938, came the first of 201 of the so called ’overdrive’ cars with the gear ratios changed to 2.38:1 for 1st gear, 1.49:1 for 2nd, direct in 3rd and 0.85:1 for 4th. The production register found within CC4, reveals that most buyers opted for a sports saloon body and that Park Ward’s design proved the most popular with 822 produced.This extremely rare Shooting Brake or “Woody” bodied model was supplied originally as a sporting saloon by Thrupp and Maberly to a Mr Edmonds of Birmingham and is believed to have been rebodied circa 1952 by Jones Brothers (Coachbuilders)Ltd of Willesden NW10 as evidenced by plaques on the door shuts. It appears that Jones made only a handful of these bodies for Rolls-Royce / Bentley chassis but quite a number for other luxury brands such as Armstrong Siddeley and Healey amongst others. It was not uncommon at the time as it changed the taxable status of the car to commercial, reducing road fund licence to £12-10-0p from £37-10-p, a not insubstantial saving !DOC 666 has had an interesting life having been owned at one time by J.J. Astor VI, the so called ‘Titanic Baby’ and heir to the Astor fortune. It has also spent time being a grocer’s delivery van presumably ensuring your fruit and vegetables arrived in style and unbruised in the South Downs region!Bought by a well-known Sussex based Bentley collector the car was sent to Blackmore Engineering in Shoreham, Sussex where it received a thorough but sympathetic restoration including complete engine rebuild, chassis work, brakes, radiator etc. Subsequently the car has been used regularly including numerous trips to France and a six-week tour of New Zealand where it covered over 3,300 trouble free miles on unmade and tarmac roads at an average of 17mpg.Finished in black with oxblood leather and a beautiful wooden dashboard, this car has a delightful patina and comes with a huge history file and invoices dating back to the 1960s.Supplied with current V5 and offered with no reserve, this extremely rare machine is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian with a taste for the unusual and which is sure to create attention wherever it goes !

Lot 23
A PAIR OF GEORGE III STYLE MAHOGANY LIBRARY ARMCHAIRS AFTER THE DESIGN ATTRIBUTED TO WILLIAM VILE, PROBABLY 19TH CENTURY The rectangular padded backs, arms and seats upholstered in machine-made floral needlework, the arm supports carved with florets and with incised hatched trellis decoration, on square legs carved with similar hatched panels and wrapped with carved foliage, fruit and acorns on guttae feet and headed by pierced 'Chinese' angle brackets, with metal castors, the backs unusually low and possibly reduced in height 89cm high, 66cm wide, 68cm deep Provenance: Acquired August 1919, `A pair of fine Chippendale stuffed back chairs with carved arms & straight legs with raised fruit & flowers £300' The chairs feature distinctive foliate-wrapped legs carved with oblong trellis panels and guttae feet derived from the pattern for the celebrated drawing-room suite commissioned by Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 4th Earl of Shaftesbury (d. 1771) for St. Giles's House, Dorset, which originally comprised four settees and at least twenty-five open armchairs. For many years the manufacture of the suite was credited to Thomas Chippendale who illustrated such chairs which he described as being in the 'Modern' style in his Director, indeed, the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury (d. 1885) described the St Giles' furniture as being 'very valuable and fine, being by Chippendale'. However, the suite is now attributed to William Vile (d. 1767), who worked with William Hallett (d. 1773) before receiving his appointment as 'cabinet-maker' to George III. Vile adopted guttae feet for the stools which he and his partner John Cobb supplied in 1753 for the Vyne, Hampshire (A. Coleridge, Chippendale Furniture, London, 1968, p. 27, fig. 28). The attribution also derives from the superb and intricate carving of the suite corresponding to furnishings supplied by Vile and Cobb to George III and Queen Charlotte for Royal residences including St. James Palace and the Queen's House, now Buckingham Palace. A related suite of seat furniture in walnut, attributed to Vile, was at Harleyford Manor, Buckinghamshire, presumably supplied around 1760 to William Clayton (d.1783). The house was built from a design by the architect Sir Robert Taylor who pulled down an earlier house bought by Sir William Clayton, 1st Bt. (d.1744) and replaced it with the design that survives today. The Harleyford suite was sold from a private Eaton Square collection at Christie's, London, 2 May 2013, lots 79 (ten side chairs and a (pair of sofas), 80 (pair of stools) and 81 (single stool) The ten chairs and sofas were sold again anonymously at Christie's, London, 17 March 2022, lots 11 and 13 respectively.

1966 Velocette 499cc Viper Clubman 'Special'Registration no. HRT 518DFrame no. RS 18816Engine no. VR 4516Engine development of the MSS pursued as part of the scrambles programme bore fruit in 1956 in the shape of the high-performance Venom and its 350cc sibling, the Viper. The MSS frame and forks were retained for the newcomers but full-width alloy hubs were adopted to boost braking power, and smart chromed mudguards fitted to enhance the models' sporting image. In 1960 'Clubman' versions of both were introduced, minus the enclosure panels of the standard models, which featured a raised compression ratio, Amal TT carburettor, 'racing' magneto, rear-set footrests and a close-ratio gearbox among many other improvements. When supplied with the optional dolphin fairing, these models were known as the Clubman Veeline. This Viper Clubman 'Special' has been fitted with a Venom engine top-end, raising the capacity to 499cc. The machine comes with a dating letter revealing that it retains matching frame/engine numbers and left the factory on 30th March 1966 as a Velocette Viper Clubman in black, destined for Wrights of Lowestoft. The first owner was one I J Coleman of Lowestoft. Our vendor purchased the Viper in 2003, since when it had been used for summer runs and kept in dry storage; it last ran earlier this year.

Framed Portrait Photograph of D-Day Veteran Percy Lewis. Overall size including frame 76cm x 56cm. This is his story: "I was a wireless operator and we arrived at Queen’s Section, Sword Beach at 11am on D Day. There were boats everywhere! Eventually we went ashore and I was told to set up my Wireless Set No. 18 on the beach, as it was our job to communicate with the men back on our ship. Problem was that when we had the wireless set up, there was no one back on the ship left to receive our messages anyway, so we sat there on the beach from 4pm until 10am the following day doing nothing! We were posted to a captured pillbox near the canal, that had two German Spandau machine guns and a periscope and we were told to keep an eye on the Germans who were still on the far side of the canal. Eventually we broke out of Normandy and when we got to Holland, I was injured by a mortar in my ankle and was flown home on a Dakota. As soon as I was fit again, I was sent straight back to the line. One night, twelve of us were advancing into a village. We knew the Germans were around because on a quiet night with no wind you could smell them, as they used a soap that was scented. I discovered that my wireless arial was broken and I was out of spares, so my officer told me to go back. Now on my own, I headed for a house for some cover when two German Paratroopers came out and I thought that this was it! Instead, they took me prisoner. While you knew the dangers that you faced, you never thought that you’d ever be taken prisoner. I was the only one of the twelve that night to survive without a scratch, as all the others were killed or injured. Then I was sent to a POW camp in Germany called Stalag 11B, which I found out later was right next to Belsen. I was 10 st 10lbs when I arrived and only 6 st 2lbs when I was liberated by our lads on 16th April 1945. This is the army for you! Instead of sending the Catering Corps with something like soup for us all, they sent tinned fruit that gave us all severe dysentery. Eventually I arrived home, although the kind chap who gave me a lift to my house asked me if I was alright because I looked so thin and ill. Dad opened the door and shouted Mum, who nearly smothered me. All they had received was a telegram telling them that I was missing in action and had obviously feared the worst. Two days after later, a telegram arrived saying that I was alive and well and would be home soon!".
