[GREENE, GRAHAM]Hultoniana [Cover title]. London: mid-18th century. Manuscript in ink in at least two period hands, inscribed in ink on the front free endpaper by the author Graham Greene (inscription undated but likely 1940s): "This was the source for my essay A Hoax on Hulton in The Last Childhood. In this way, when it was published in the Spectator I recuperated [sic] myself for the five guineas I had spent at David Low's shop off St. Martin's Lane. Graham Greene." Period vellum over boards, titled in ink on the upper cover and spine. 7 3/4 x 6 3/8 inches (19.5 x 16 cm); 135 pp. with 67 letters or dialogues, [8 pp.] index, plus blank leaves at the end; written in several hands in ink, the letters copied within dating January–December 1744. Laid-in is a postcard to Graham Greene from R. N. Green-Armitage of the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution, regarding some of the individuals mentioned in the manuscript, dated November 8, 1939; and two letters by Sir Ambrose Heal, the designer, businessman and antiquary, on the same subject. Binding worn and soiled, front board bowed, becoming disbound, lacking some leaves in the middle and at the end as described by Greene in his essay on the manuscript. The bizarre, protracted, and rather cruel practical joke outlined in this manuscript was the basis for Graham Greene's entertaining essay A Hoax on Mr. Hulton, first printed in The Spectator and later reprinted in The Lost Childhood and Other Essays, London: Eyre, 1951, as Greene notes in his annotation. Greene purchased it from his friend, the redoubtable bookseller David Low, for whose memoirs With All Faults Greene later wrote the introduction.Greene was unable to establish the authorship of the manuscript, but as he writes in the essay "It is hard to believe that any innocent person could have known so much," a judgment with which we concur. It takes the form of a copybook for a series of letters by Hulton and others, creating in essence an epistolary account of the hoax, and it includes additional dialogues that are claimed in one place to be recorded "verbatim from memory." There are marginal notes on the behavior of the characters from someone who seemingly had inside knowledge of the matter "Mr. Jer. Pierce, who was a man of humor, sent Hulton, ten letters one after another, and drove him, into his usual fury & distraction." Poor Hulton, who was a London printseller and frame-maker of some prominence, together with his wife and son, was beset for months by deliveries of goods and services that he had not ordered, and the repercussions drove him to the point of near-insanity.Greene rejoiced in the minutiae of eighteenth-century tradesman's London revealed in these pages, and Sir Ambrose Heal helped him identify some of the (most likely unwitting) participants, who included such eminences as the great engraver and antiquary George Vertue. Greene's amusing essay does not disclose how the hoax ended—how could it, as the last leaves of the manuscript are torn away?—but he provides a wonderful and evocative summary of Hulton's various misadventures, and those he visited on others as a consequence of his growing (and justifiable) paranoia.No condition report?

JPR WILLIAMS | BRIDGEND | c.1980sJPR’s match-worn Bridgend RFC jersey in blue with narrow white stripe, white collar, embroidered crest and embroidered Umbro diamonds to chest, black number 15 to white square, Umbro International label to collar. To accompany, blazer patch pocket with Bridgend RFC braided crest.During his years at London Welsh JPR had felt that he was sheltered from the criticism and pressures that were felt by a Welsh player playing for local clubs. He was able to mature at London Welsh, which put him in good stead to return to Wales and accept the new challenge of playing in front of more critical eyes.JPR (family notes, 2023):"It was by no means a foregone conclusion that I would be moving out of London in ‘76 to take up a 3-year rotating surgical post in Cardiff. I needed to pass part 1 FRCS first then I was in my way to a career in surgery. I joined the squad at Bridgend in the September and played underMeredydd James, a stalwart of the club for a few years. The big differences with London Welsh were the muddy pitches and mid -week evening matches: it gets very cold by 8.45 pm!I was Captain for the ‘78-9 year of Bridgend’s Centenary and we had plenty of extra fixtures, sometimes playing three times a week. But the big event was to be the visit of the All Blacks on their’78 tour in the December. As Captain of Wales, I was still smarting at the injustice of losing the Wales match against them three weeks earlier. Their line out tricks fooled the referee and won the game for them at the end.But I wasn’t prepared for the vicious play against us; three of us at least received bad lacerations, but mine was the most severe. Much has been written about my returning to the field (against the advice of my father and three brothers: all medics) but I simply felt I couldn’t let the team down as Captain. The photo with Graham Mourie shows his concern as the trainer led me off and he made apologies at a later date. Not so the prop who stamped a second time when he realised who I was.This jersey is the replacement Bridgend one as my original playing jersey was washed as best as possible but there were still blood stains."The incident was the lead to writer Ed Smith’s story in GQ Magazine, entitled ‘Who Dares Wins’. Smith opening with "When does courage become madness? Perhaps we should ask JPR Williams…"Additional playing days images courtesy of Colorsport (Copyright)
DOUG ROLLERSON | NEW ZEALAND | 1980Traditional All Blacks International Rugby Union match-worn jersey in black with white collar, embroidered ‘silver fern’ and printed number 15 to reverse, Canterbury label to inside collar. In good condition, some inevitable wear to printed number.Believed to have been worn by full-back D L Rollerson (1953-2017) in their emphatic victory against Wales, November 1st, 1980.Rollerson played 24 games for the All Blacks, including eight tests, between 1976 and 1981. Rollerson won the Ranfurly Shield with Manawatu in 1976, kicking the match-winning drop goal as the province won the 'Log of Wood' for the first time. He played 91 games for Manawatu. Rollerson played against South Africa in the controversial 1981 Springbok tour of New Zealand. In the third and deciding test he alternated the goal kicking with fullback Allan Hewson. Rollerson being a right footed kicker took the penalties and conversions from the left-hand side of the field and Hewson, being left footed kicked from the right-hand side. The All Black narrowly won the series 2-1.In 1982, aged 28, he signed to play two seasons of rugby league with North Sydney, where he was a clubmate of Kiwis great Mark Graham.

Jason Wason (1946). Bowl Unglazed with applied stud decoration, impressed personal seal mark, height18.5cm, diameter 35cm. Mollie & Graham met in Wimbledon in 1978. He, a Cornishman, born in Gulval in 1930, acquired an early appreciation of art visiting Newlyn Gallery with his family. In his early career Graham worked in London writing for the Daily Express and he was responsible for one of the first Arts columns in a tabloid paper, but in 1960 he opened an antique shop in Chelsea. Inspired by trips to Italy, he displayed early furniture and antiquities in an uncluttered modern setting, a technique he later utilised in his own home. The Darks moved back to Cornwall in 1980 and at their home in Flushing, and later Truro, curated an impressive body of art and antiquities with a particular focus on Cornish artists such as Paul Feiler and Terry Frost, who both became close friends. The paintings were displayed alongside mid-century modern designer furniture by Eames, Bertoia and Magistretti, and arrangements of antiquities, thought of as ‘ensembles’ by Graham. Warm, charming, and generous hosts, they entertained their artistic circle of friends in their exquisitely arranged home, and it is a privilege for us to handle their beautiful possessions today. We hope to present them to you with as much care and consideration as the Darks used, and that those two remarkable connoisseurs would have approved.Graham Dark 1930-2015Mollie Dark 1928-2024 The stud decoration displays some wear. One has a rather large chip to the tip, and the others suffer loss to the black decoration.

Registration No: VHJ 461H Chassis No: 1R35598 MOT: Exempt1 of just 1,040 RHD home-market examples builtMatching chassis, engine and gearbox numbersExtensive mechanical improvement while in the vendor's ownership to the sum of c.£10,000Pleasingly unmolested and original specification, and finished in its original colour scheme of Signal Red with Black interiorSupplied with a history file including the Heritage CertificateTriumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its supercar performance, stunning looks and modest price tag. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer's reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine-cradling front sub-frame, the E-type's combination of all-round independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack-and-pinion steering resulted in excellent road-holding and handling capabilities. Introduced in 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. The range expanded with a 2+2 derivative joining the Coupe and Roadster and evolved through steady stages until the final Series 3 V12s bowed out in 1975.1 of just 1,040 RHD home-market examples built, this 2+2 was manufactured on the 19th of September 1969 and was supplied new by Henlys of London to its first owner, F R Lockett, through Abbott Motors. Finished from the factory in Signal Red paintwork and Black leather interior upholstery, chassis 1R35598 is pleasingly still presented in the original colour scheme today. Boasting being in its original specification including the original wheels and being sunroof free, the E-Type features the desirable manual gearbox, and a matching chassis, engine, and gearbox numbers example too! In previous long-term ownership from 1995, the Jaguar was lavished with a comprehensive restoration in 2000 including a full engine overhaul by VSE (Jaguar specialist). More recently benefitting from a substantial bodywork restoration in 2009, the E-Type was provided with new sills, door skins, complete respray, and all internal areas protective coated.Purchased by the vendor in 2016, during this ownership ‘VHJ 461H’ has benefited from an extensive mechanical restoration, following on from the previous engine overhaul, with some £10,000 worth of expenditure. The work completed has included complete overhaul of the IRS (independent rear suspension) and IRS frame sandblasted and stove enamelled; full gearbox overhaul by Klassic Transmissions; all new clutch and accompanied parts; new wheel bearings; full suspension overhaul with extensive new parts including shock absorbers; renewed brake system with overhauled callipers and new pads, brake hoses, and pipes; prop shaft overhaul with new UJs; new master and slave cylinder; new stainless steel exhaust system; new Hi-Torque starter motor; steel heating pipes (from bulkhead behind dash) replaced; all wheels blasted stove enamelled and fitted new original size Pirelli Tyres; and ignition switch and steering lock renewed.Supplied with a history file that includes the Jaguar Heritage Certificate; a vast collection of previous invoices; numerous past MOT certificates and tax discs; a service manual; a parts catalogue; and a current V5C document, the E-Type also has its Jaguar tool roll. Matching numbers, original colour combination, and the desirable manual gearbox, for those looking for an unmolested UK-car, this has got to be worth considering! With less than 8,000 miles covered since the full engine overhaul, and the mechanicals extensively further sorted in the vendor's ownership, 1R35598 is ready for pressing into use with a new custodian.

Registration No: JSS 868P Chassis No: 11501520276230 MOT: June 2026Just 25,000 miles from newExtensive history file which includes a collection of MOT certificates & invoicesOffered with current V5c document & original manual and service booksFinished in Pastel White (Code 131) complemented with Blue cloth upholstery (Code 062)Introduced in 1968, Mercedes-Benz’s ‘New Generation’ W114/115 models (otherwise known as the /8 series) were intended to attract new buyers to the marque and hence broaden its customer base. Typically well-engineered, they featured all-round, independent coil-sprung suspension and four-wheel disc brakes together with revised manual and four-speed automatic transmissions. Mainstay of the W115 range, the four-door 200 saloon was powered by a 1988cc four-cylinder engine that developed some 94bhp and 115lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 99mph, the Stuttgart factory's legendary build quality helped make it a strong sales success. A true ‘timewarp’, this remarkably well preserved W115 is warranted to have covered a mere 25,000 miles from new. Supplied to its first owner by main agent, Callanders Engineering Co of Aberdeen, on August 18th 1975, the 200 has self-evidently been cherished ever since. Finished in Pastel White (DB131) with Blue fabric (062) upholstery, the Saloon was even deemed smart enough to join Graham Dacre’s famous Mercedes-Benz collection being stabled alongside a 300SL ‘Gullwing’ and the ex-John Lennon 600 etc. As well as the original book pack, accompanying paperwork includes a box file of invoices showing that ‘JSS 868P’ has had the gear linkage for its four-speed manual transmission re-bushed, exhaust renewed and even its petrol filler flap spring replaced! Entrusted by the vendor to marque specialist Derrick Wells for a service and checkover last June, the 200 had attention paid to its brakes and screen wash pump too at a cost of £1,405.56. Worthy of close inspection and MOT’d until June 17th 2025, ‘JSS 868P’ is surely worthy of a place in another marque collection.

Registration No: WHJ 516M Chassis No: 9256 MOT: Exempt1 of just c.130 right-hand drive Espada S3s reputedly builtNotably previously in the ownership of the well-respected Ferrari specialists Reeder BrothersJust 67,000 recorded milesDiscovered as a garage find in 2022 and fully recommissioned by the vendor sincePrevious full engine overhaul by the Reeder Brothers at c.60,000 milesIntroduced at the 1968 Geneva Salon, the Lamborghini Espada was a true four-seater supercar. Styled by Marcello Gandini of Bertone, it was visually indebted to the carozzeria's previous 'Marzal' and 'Pirana' show cars. A low-slung menacing 'wedge' (actually no longer than a contemporary Ford Mustang), its Giampaolo Dallara honed pressed-steel platform chassis featured all-round coil-and-wishbone suspension, Koni dampers, disc brakes and anti-roll bars. Although, the 'quad-cam' Bizzarini 3,929cc V12 was front-mounted and mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, the Espada enjoyed near ideal front-to-rear weight distribution (52:48). The world's fastest four-seater at some 155mph, it was praised for its handling and ride quality. Debuting at the 1972 Turin Motor Show, the Series III came with power steering and air-conditioning as standard. Boasting 365bhp and 290lbft of torque, it also carried a revised interior, re-jigged rear suspension and uprated brakes. In production at Sant'Agata Bologna for just six years, a mere 472 were supposedly made.Chassis number ‘9256’ is a very rare right-hand drive Series III example, which was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being first registered on the 9th of October 1973. Passing through the dealership of Lamborghini ‘guru’ Del Hopkins, who owned the Lamborghini Dealership in Alie Street, London at the time, it is understood that at this time, one of his business partners at the dealership, Bob Hennessy used the car for his wedding in 1976. Known to have been registered as ‘TTK 2’ during the early stages of its life, the Espada was subsequently acquired in 1984 by the highly respected Ferrari specialists Mike and Graham Reeder, the brothers stripped the car to bare metal, bodily restored ‘9256’, and provided a full repaint into Ferrari Rosso Corsa (there could be no other colour with their specialism!). In 1987, at c.60,000 miles, the engine was removed from the Lamborghini and provided with a full engine overhaul which included new pistons, timing chains, bearing shells, etc.Between March 1984 and May 1995, the Espada led a charmed life, being driven exclusively by partners of the Reeder brother's business. Sold out of the Reeder ownership in 1995, the Lamborghini entered into the previous ownership in June 2000. Used for a very short period (less than a full year) the Espada, now registered ‘WHJ 516M’ was parked in the custodian's garage, where it remained for the following twenty-two years. Unearthed by the vendor in May 2022 who came to know of the car as a family friend of the previous owner, the Espada has since been comprehensively mechanically recommissioned. Works completed have included overhauls of the carburettor and distributor; new spark plugs and condensers; partial re-wiring; brake system recondition with many new parts; new front wheel bearings; renewed ignition system; full interior refresh including leather treatment; new fuel pump and battery; re-conditioned rear tailgate struts; clutch overhaul; and new tyres, amongst much more cosmetic and mechanical improvement. The whole re-commissioning process is fully illustrated in a document in the history file, with the expenditure totalling some £10,700 in total. A regular attendee of classic car events in East Anglia since the completion in April 2023, the vendor informs the only thing the Espada still requires is the fitment of air-conditioning belts.Offered with a history file that includes original sales literature, a handwritten log documenting the maintenance work completed by the Reeder brothers during their ownership, a collection of invoices and previous MOTs, images of the car throughout its life (including in Del Hopkin’s ownership and as a garage find), and a current V5C document. Starting readily and both running and driving excellently during the recent photography session, chassis ‘9256’ is due to be driven to the sale, and has covered just 7,000 miles approximately since the full engine overhaul by the Reeder brothers, with a believed genuine c.67,000 on the odometer now. Very few Espadas were manufactured in right-hand drive so finding one with such an interesting ownership history and with the desirable manual gearbox, adds to the appeal of this example. A 155mph, four-seater, 1970s supercar, what's not to like! For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
Registration No: 264 PPO Chassis No: TS63903 MOT: ExemptA 'home market' car registered in West Sussex on January 1st 1960The subject of an extensive past restoration by marque specialist Racetorations and still highly presentableOffered for sale with extensive history file and hardtopDue to be driven 160 miles to the saleFinal evolution of the Triumph TR2/TR3 sportscar line (save for the American market TR3B), the TR3A was introduced in September 1957. Its tough boxed section chassis featured independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a leaf sprung 'live' rear axle and disc / drum brakes. Fitted with a 1991cc four-cylinder OHV unit developing some 104bhp and 117lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of 110mph. A great sales success on both sides of the Atlantic, the model provided a rather more visceral alternative to its MG and Jaguar competition. Great fun to drive, the ‘sidescreen TRs’ have long enjoyed a keen following among enthusiasts. Although, finding a 'home market' example can be a challenge given that just 1,896 of the 58,236 cars made remained in the UK. Assembled by its previous (eighth) keeper, a British aerospace engineer, this rare, ‘home market’ TR3A comes with one of the most voluminous history files we have ever encountered. Specified with a heater, hardtop and Michelin X tyres, the Roadster was despatched from the Works on 15th December 1959 to S. Hicks & Son of Truro. Reallocated to a Sussex-based Standard Triumph dealership, it was supplied new to a Mr Clifford of Worthing. Thereafter, the nominal 2+2-seater is known to have belonged to K.S. Sparling, A.I. Graham, J. Carlton, Racetorations, R.A. Forsyth, W.R. Washbourne and D.J. Lee before entering the current custodianship during 2023. Having been prepared for road rallies by marque specialist Racetoraions some thirty years earlier at Mr Carlton’s behest, the TR3A had its original engine overhauled and enlarged (87mm bore), suspension and brakes uprated and a TR4 all-synchromesh gearbox with overdrive installed. A Kenlowe fan and stainless steel exhaust were added too, the recorded mileage at the time being a believed genuine 47,750 or so. Subsequent owner Mr Forsyth then tasked the same company with carrying out a bare metal bodywork restoration plus an interior re-trim and sundry re-chroming etc in 1995. Showing 60,086 miles when bought by Mr Lee, he kept the Triumph for the next sixteen years using it on numerous Mendip Classic Tours and Chipping Sodbury Classic Runs. As well as routine maintenance, he treated the Roadster to a new crank seal, facet fuel pump, hi-torque starter motor and brake hoses etc. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, ‘264 PPO’ has some minor blemishes but remains, to our eyes, highly presentable. Enjoyed on a run to the Goodwood Revival last year and due to be driven some 160 miles to IWM Duxford, this delightful TR3A is thought to have covered a mere 68,000 miles from new. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Heritage Certificate, hardtop, weather equipment and history file.
