In November 1879, Edward Burne-Jones ordered a set of bed hangings in this pattern and it is possible that this hanging may have formed part of this order.

Registration No: WC 1264 Chassis No: 151112 MOT: ExemptRecently fitted with a handbrake, ratchet quadrant and starter motorConverted in-period to a Pickup by a Dordogne butcher during WWIIOffered with some original documentation, various manuals and the current V5C documentAn evolution of its B2 and B10 predecessors, the B12 was introduced in October 1925. Available with a diverse choice of all-steel bodywork (made to Budd patents), its uprated, quarter-elliptic leaf-sprung chassis featured worm and roller steering, rear shock absorbers and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a willing 1452cc four-cylinder side-valve engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox, the B12 was quick to establish a reputation for durability and economy. In production for less than two years, surviving examples are an understandably scarce sight today.This Citroen B12 was built in 1925 (verified by Stellantis-Citroen UK) as a Saloon. Purchased as a non-runner in 2021, some missing parts have since been sourced in France and the now engine starts and runs via the starter motor or starting handle. The vendors purchased the B12 due to an interest in WWII history, of which there is plenty. It was converted to a Pickup (Plateau) by a butcher in the Dordogne during WWII, to enable him to obtain fuel from the Nazi occupiers who issued coupons to owners of commercial vehicles. When Germany finally retreated and liberation came, vehicles were painted with Free French Independence (FFI) insignia to participate in victory celebrations. The butcher then sold it to a local vineyard owner. An Englishman spotted the Pickup in a field in the late 1980s and purchased it, subsequently featuring in a number of magazines.Since 2021 the Pickup has benefitted from much expenditure, including replacement of the flat bed, the fuel lines, battery and cradle and the 6v windscreen wiper motor; refurbishment of the steering wheel, wiring loom, matching door cards and fabricating period registration plates. The Citroen was granted an age-related number in January 2024. Some original documentation and various manuals are included along with the V5C.

Lot 134
Registration No: AWS 382 Chassis No: 47K3177 MOT: ExemptBelieved to be the most original example of the nine 15/6 Kestrels believed left in existenceFastidiously maintained throughout the current ownershipOffered with extensive history file including two buff log booksUsed regularly by the current owner who is a member within the Riley RegisterRecently featured in The Automobile magazineAmong the prettiest saloons fielded by any manufacturer pre-WW2, Riley’s Six-Light Kestrel was an Art Deco masterpiece. Powered by a ‘twin cam’ 1726cc straight-six engine (based on Percy Riley’s famous 9, modified by Hugh Rose and associated with ERA) mated to an Armstrong-Siddeley built four speed Wilson preselector gearbox, the 15/6 Kestrel was reputedly capable of 80mph and was the last six cylinder Riley. Only nine 15/6 Kestrels are thought to have survived due to the ravages of time and special builders.First registered on the 21st May 1937 as ‘AWS 382’, this rare 15/6 Kestrel is believed to have been supplied new to Mr H W Haldane of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is believed that he would keep ‘AWS 382’ until 1947, and the second buff continuation logbook records that it was purchased by Stephen Wallis of Palmerston Place Lane. In 1955, W.A Angell acquired the 15/6 from Edinburgh Motor Engineering Co Ltd and he would own the car for the next 59 years, covering only minimal mileage in that period.Fast forward to 2014, the Kestrel was discovered and purchased by Riley Register member Duncan Whyte who immediately recognised that this car was significantly well-preserved and conducted a full mechanical overhaul with a view to preserve as much originality as possible. The engine was overhauled by marque specialist Ian MacFarlane which included new white metal bearings and the fitment of ‘Sprite’ specification camshafts from Kent Cams. When back on the road, ‘AWS 382’ became wildly recognised as 'the most original Kestrel left in existence' and has won awards at events for this attribute.The vendor, who is a senior member of Riley Register also, purchased the rare Saloon in 2020 and during his ownership, he has become well known for using it extensively for many Riley events. In 2021, esteemed motoring magazine The Automobile compiled an article about the car, in which it was positively described. Within his ownership, the vendor has replaced most of the ignition system to aid good-running, and describes the car as being in ‘very good to excellent’ mechanical fettle. He has advised the only thing he personally feels necessary to do would be to replace the original wiring loom. Confidently described as a ‘true connoisseur’s Riley’, the original leatherwork remains very much intact, along with the original rear window blind and stringing.Now offered to market, as the vendor has other Rileys that require a substantial amount of his time, this is an excellent opportunity for any collector to own a true time-warp that simply could not be replicated.

Lot 78
Registration No: DLO 936Chassis No: B-135-FCMOT: ExemptEntered from The Merlin CollectionWarranted 15,800 miles from newThe most original and best conserved Derby Bentley we have ever encounteredAccompanying documentation includes correspondence between Messrs Hayward and Angell, handwritten receipts from Mr Webster of Edinburgh Motors for the purchase price (£1,350, 7th May 1954) and tax / insurance (£32, 18th May 1954) plus another for seven driving lessons (£5 8s 1d, 8th June 1954). To have depreciated by just £140 over seventeen years indicates that Mr Angell's appreciation for 'a motor car the like of which is grace personified compared to the pressed-steel, bloated tin-can automobiles as produced by my country today' was not hyperbole. Treasuring the Bentley, its new owner acquired a Riley Kestrel 15/6 for everyday usage and later a Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster to drive on high days and holidays. Stored at Edinburgh Motors until December 1973 when the oil crisis forced its closure, the 3½ Litre accompanied the Angell family to first Glasgow and then Kirkliston. Accompanying MOT certificates issued in May 1970 and April 1980 list recorded mileages for the Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe of 15,030 and 15,195 miles respectively. One of its few public outings being to the 'Bentley Shell 500 Golden Jubilee 1919-1969' celebrations at Oulton Park (a sticker for which remains affixed to the windscreen). Ever wary that a road traffic accident would compromise its remarkable originality, Mr Angell ensured that 'DLO 936' spent less and less time on the public highway. Parked up in his Kirkliston garage for thirty odd years, it benefited from surroundings that were not only watertight but also conducive to preservation in terms of moisture and light levels. Reluctantly offered for sale by Mr Angell's heirs in 2013, the Bentley joined The Merlin Collection that same October via our IWM Duxford auction for £213,750. Blown away by the Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe's exceptional originality, the vendor set about recommissioning it to an exhaustive, obsessional degree. For instance, he spent a week soaking the original fanbelt until it could be reused and was genuinely upset that the period spark plugs could not be made to perform satisfactorily! Losing count after investing 1,500 hours of labour in the project, his efforts meant that all but one of the factory-fitted leather gaiters have been successfully reconditioned. Very few professional restorers, regardless of their calibre, would have matched the seller's attention to detail or patience. He re-used almost all the original nuts and bolts with most of the modern interlopers being found in the stainless-steel exhaust system (complete with correct cut-out mechanism). Keen to do the best job possible, the seller enlisted the help of renowned Derby Bentley expert and the W.O. Bentley Memorial Foundation's Chairman of Trustees, Ken Lea who carried out a first-hand inspection and advised on works. Mr Lea was reportedly amazed to discover that the ash frame was so sound even down to the fillets used between the running boards and their brackets and the sawn-off ends of the scuttle hoops. A careful strip down of the original engine (number E9BC) revealed bore wear in keeping with the recorded mileage and more surprisingly that all six pistons were stamped with the engine number and individual serial numbers. After much deliberation the decision was taken to rewire the four-seater for safety reasons. Needless to say, the replacement wiring loom is faithful to factory blueprints with an authentic cloth-bound look. The vendor also chose to install a higher final drive ratio inside the original rear axle casing and, replace the hood and upgrade the fuel system. The initial final drive ratio and petrol pump come with the car as do letters between Mr Angell and Vanden Plas concerning the soft-top's deterioration (the former coachbuilder advising that as a subsidiary of Austin it was no longer in a position to renew the hood). Indeed, the very few modifications made to improve drivability in today's traffic - including discrete indicators - are all easily reversible without affecting the car's fundamental essence. Where one of Vanden Plas's standard Drophead Coupe bodies for the Derby Bentley chassis would feature plain wings, limited bonnet louvers and plain rubber covers for the running boards as standard, the one fitted to 'DLO 936' sports more sculpted wings, louvers that extend through to the scuttle and individual rubber strips for its running boards. Interestingly, chassis B135FC was delivered some eleven months later than chassis B133FC (a Thrupp & Maberly Saloon supplied new to Lord Harris MC) so the former may well have been built to special order. There really is no substitute for inspecting 'DLO 936' at first hand. Only then can one appreciate its freakish originality and state of preservation. A matchless testament to the craftsmanship of Bentley and Vanden Plas, the car is also a great credit to each of its three custodians: Robert S. Hayward (1937-1954), W. Randolph Angell (1954-2013) and The Merlin Collection (2013-present). A worthy competitor in the conservation class of any major Concours d'Elegance, this incredible ‘matching numbers' 1937 Bentley 3½ Litre Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe is accompanied by its original Bentley Motors Guarantee complete with covering letter and carboard tube (dated 11th March 1937), a continuation buff logbook, old MOTs, assorted storage bills, Bentley 3½ Litre Instruction Book (with B135FC on the inside front cover), copy RREC chassis cards, false starts to Mr Angell's handwritten memoirs (as they relate to the Bentley), sundry Bentley Drivers Club correspondence / publications, circa £20,000 worth of bills from Ristes, Will Fiennes and MWS International etc plus assorted other paperwork. Sliding behind the wheel, it is entirely appropriate that one's view forward is given a sepia tinge by the windscreen (the cellophane sandwiched between its glass layers having yellowed with age) because driving 'DLO 936' is liking stepping back in time. 'Unique' is an overused word but chassis B135FC is that and so much more. For anyone hoping to amass the definitive Bentley collection, it surely deserves a place.For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737
