A genuine period Trans-Am car driven by John Hall from the early 1970s and prepared and campaigned successfully by the current long term owner in the UK and North America in more recent times. Offered here is a very special period Boss 302 Mustang that was campaigned by John Hall in the early 1970s in the well known SCCA Trans-Am series. There is a list of period results below and the car is accompanied by a large history file detailing much of its history. There is simply too much to list here, so we recommend interested parties come along and see the car and history file for themselves or call our car specialist for further details.The current owner is a real V8 enthusiast and this example has formed part of his prominent racing stable since 2003. He spent a lot of his time in the US during the early part of his ownership, enjoying much success at circuits such as Lime Rock and Watkins Glen, with results included in the file. The Mustang was then shipped to the UK in 2013 as the owner lives over here and after being prepared to European-spec, has been raced competitively in Europe ever since, including circuits such as Spa and Silverstone.The car has been the recipient of significant investment in recent years, including an engine refresh by Peter Knight, fitment of AST custom dampers, a new clutch and more. It's powered by a 337ci 'stroker' with ported Boss 302 heads, roller valvetrain and a dry-sump. The car has obviously been prepared to a high standard by Richard Moore (Moore Racing) as is evident from its consistent results over the years and there are a good number of spares accompanying the car including two body panels, L+R front headlamp surrounds and three spare diffs with different ratios. By separate negotiation, there is also a brand new FIA 302 V8 by Peter Knight. It's currently finished in white and wearing the period correct 'Boss GTX 302' livery applied originally for the very successful 1972 season.Quite simply, this is an extremely rare opportunity to own a period race car with continuous history that is available for the first time in 22 years and offers access into some of the best historic motorsport around the globe. Estimated very competitively when you consider the quality and provenance on offer, we welcome and encourage your earliest enquiry.SCCA Trans American Championship (known as Trans-Am);September 20, 1970-Kent, Washington DNF Placed 23 of 30 carsOctober 4, 1970 -Riverside, California Placed 13thJune 20, 1971 -Edmonton International Speedway Placed 9thJuly 4, 1972 -Donnybrook, Brainerd, Minnesota Placed 32ndJuly 16, 1972 -Elkhart Lake (Road America), Wisconsin Placed 24thOther US races entered in period;May 3, 1970 -Canadian, Oregon, Washington, Pacific, Amateur Championship (COWPAC)October 10, 1971 -Province 500 7 hours Endurance Race at Westwood, BC-finished 2ndApril 29, 1972 -COWPAC Westwood, BCJune 4, 1972 -COWPAC Westwood, BCOctober 6, 1972 -PIR National Rose Cup, Portland, OregonJune 23, 1972 -Olympia June Sprints, SCCA National, Laguna Seca Raceway, CaliforniaSpecification Make: FORD Model: BOSS MUSTANG Year: 1970 Chassis Number: 0F02GIB1933 Registration Number: N/A Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Make: LHDClick here for more details and images

(8) Jem Mace (1831–1910) was a bare-knuckle prizefighter and a talented violinist. He was a pioneer of gloved boxing and even fought a bout with the Marquis of Queensberry. Although the title of world champion had not yet been formalized during his career, Mace is universally recognized as such. Over the course of his life, he amassed and lost millions of dollars.In his later years, Mace worked the music hall circuit, performing sketches that combined dialogue with exhibition rounds of boxing and violin performances. He often collaborated with his family in these acts; his daughter Ruby, a notable figure at the time, participated in one of the comedic boxing sketches.Of local interest, in the early 1880s, Mace traveled to Timaru, New Zealand, where he established a boxing school and organized the first boxing championships in the country. It was here that Bob Fitzsimmons, originally from Helston, made his professional debut. From the archives of the Boxing family: The Millers of Birmingham, early 20th century.

Mrs Ruth Tennant (d. 1943), Needwood House and St Anne's Manor, Sutton Bonnington Thence by descent to their nephew, Sir Charles Buchanan, 4th Baronet (1899-1984), St Anne's Manor Thence by descent to the present owner The present picture depicts a key incident in George III's review of the fleet at Portsmouth, 22-25 June 1773. The fleet specially assembled for the purpose was in three divisions: nine line-of-battle ships, commanded by Thomas Pye, Vice-Admiral of the Red, four ships commanded by George, Lord Edgcumbe, Vice-Admiral of the Blue (of whom there is a fine portrait by Reynolds in the National Maritime Museum), and six ships commanded by Richard Spry, Rear-Admiral of the White and commander-in-chief at Plymouth. The last came up from there for the occasion. The painting commemorates the honours conferred on Pye as commander-in-chief at Portsmouth and in overall operational charge of the 1773 review. The King is on board the Barfleur, shown flying the Royal Standard at the main, the Admiralty flag at the foremast and the Union flag at the mizzen. This was a 90-gun, second-rate ship of the line which was to enjoy a distinguished career in the War of American Independence (1775-83) and the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1793- 1815). At this time, however, it was Pye's Portsmouth flagship, from which he had been displaced for the period of the royal visit into the 74-gun Royal Oak, seen to the right. Having dined in state on the Barfleur shortly after 2 p.m. the King knighted a number of senior officers on the quarter-deck of the ship, including Pye and Spry, and formally advanced Pye from Vice-Admiral of the Red to Admiral of the Blue. As Spry's blue flag was broken out at the mainmast-head of the Royal Oak, all the ships of the fleet other than Barfleur saluted him 'by the King's permission'. In return, as the London Gazette reported the moment and as this painting shows: 'The Admiral, in acknowledgement of the Honor conferred upon him, saluted the Royal Standard with all the Guns on board the Royal Oak.' In comparison to Pye's new blue flag at the main in the Royal Oak (as shown here) denoting his rise to full Admiral of the Blue, the same colour at the foremast of the ship to rear left in the painting identifies it as the Dublin, Edgcumbe's temporary flagship for the review as a Vice-Admiral of the Blue. At 5.30 p.m. George III left the Barfleur for the Augusta, yacht, in which the royal party returned to Portsmouth harbour, accompanied by flag officers and captains in their barges, landing at the dock at 7.30. Despite the high honours conferred on Pye, he did not enjoy an unblemished reputation. He was known among his junior officers as 'Goose Pye' and is described by the naval historian Nicholas Rodger as 'something of a naval grotesque who aroused mingled amusement and contempt.' Who commissioned this painting is unknown but Pye is a strong possibility. Condition Report: The canvas has been lined. Craquelure throughout, and heavier in some places than others, most noticeably an area about 10cm long to the cloud in the upper left corner. There is also some old paint shrinkage, some of which has been filled in. Rubbing and abrasions to the framing edges, including some associated loss. There is a small area in the sky to the right of the union jack flag (approx. 3cm) where the canvas has been knocked and the paint is starting to lift, and flake. Inspection under UV light reveals light scattered retouching throughout, however this has been very sensitively done. Also with a green cloudy varnish.Condition Report Disclaimer
