Please read our terms and conditions With V5C, HPI clear AA badge & St Christopher on dash will be retained (shown in photos) View video Information from the owner: General History up to 2024 This car was bought new in November 1933 by my father, then a serving Flying Officer with the RAF who had just returned from a 3 year posting with No 27 Squadron in the North Western Frontier region of India (now the Pakistan/Afghanistan border areas) flying the Westland Wapiti” 2 seater Bomber/Army support aircraft and had saved enough to pay the £200 for his new J2 At the time he was based at RAF Henlow and during the 6 month guarantee period there was a good bit of correspondence between him and the MG company, I have copies of the Abingdon responses from which it seems that he had problems with performance 'maximum speed only 68 mph' and other small matters including vibration. It seems that in April 1934 a new gearbox and remote were fitted plus new front engine bearings etc. These seem to have been dealt with promptly and efficiently. Mileage by then was over 4,000 Sometime in 1934 father and friend took the car on a long tour into Southern Germany and there are several photos taken on that trip including loading (or unloading) onto channel ferry, just guessing Newhaven/Dieppe The next report is it taking part in the Great West Motor Club’s London to Bournemouth trials at the end of March 1935 and I have a photo of it taken at the Bovington Camp section. As father married later in April that year it seems unlikely that he was the entrant so he must have traded it in by then for the 2 Litre Lagonda he next had. The only clue as to its location after 1935 is a repair plate on the radiator header tank by Sercks of Maidstone, Kent and a tax disc issued by London C C expiring end of June 1938. The next phase in the story is that in 1937 or 1938 the car was bought by a young Lincolnshire man, Colin Muncaster. I was able to contact the widow of Colin’s brother, Ray, and she (Phyllis) was able to tell me quite a lot and the rest of the history comes from her and another name she mentioned, Mike Hewson, who lived very near the Muncasters in Horncastle. Mike Hewson’s father was with Colin when he bought the car and they took it to the British Grand Prix held at Donington Park in 1937 or 38. Colin was keen on some competition driving and had the car worked on by the well known MG fettler Harry Lester. The engine had a Laystall crank fitted, cylinder head modified with polished ports enlarged to 1 1/8 inch dia and bigger 1 1/8 inch carburetters fitted. The brakes were converted to hydraulic using components from a Wolseley Hornet with 9 inch drums. Ignition was by 'Scintilla' magneto. Phyllis told me that Colin and Ray were coming home from the pub when they ran off the road near Horncastle and Ray, being thrown forward, lost his front teeth on the dashboard. She asked if the marks were still there on the aluminium panel. I looked and indeed they were and still are! I imagine this was the cause of the bent chassis discovered during restoration. Apparently during the war Colin bought another MG (understood to be a J1 salonette) to use that engine to 'save' the original 'good' engine until war was over, but the car was taxed for a while in 1941 and 1943. Colin was born in 1914 but for some reason wasn’t called up for military service. He had a Garage business and after the war worked for the Council. I have photocopies of ALX 934 taken from late 1930’s on some showing his Hill Climb runs and trophies won, all presumably in the Lincolnshire general area up to about 1952 when by then it was fitted with 16 inch rear wheels. The 19 inch wheels went back on for everyday use until 1955 when it was pushed into an open ended Nissen hut until bought by Harry Dickinson of Bucknall, Lincs, in 1978 where it sat unused for another 27 years until I bought it from Harry’s widow. Before that a chance conversation with another J2 owner at a car show in 2005 led to the discovery that father’s old car still existed and was for sale. I went up to Lincolnshire to see it; very much as I would have expected after so long unused although the engine had been started and run occasionally. It seemed complete and original and there was a large amount of spare parts included. My offer was accepted and we hauled it back to Suffolk a week or so later in July. It soon became apparent that it needed much more than a tidy up and it looked like a total strip down was needed, everything that could wear was worn and the woodworm had consumed most of the plywood trim. The first thing to do was to drain and refill the engine oil, water in radiator, connect to a battery and take a fuel feed from a petrol can. Starter pushed, and engine started and ran strongly, still on its magneto, so this was encouraging. So began over 2 years of work whenever I was able. The most useful tool was the angle grinder to cut off all the rusted up nuts and bolts and with body off I could see what had to be done. The body and chassis went up to David Wall in Wroxham where he repaired and replaced any damaged and rotten timber and re panelled in steel or aluminium where necessary. The chassis was straightened and new stubs welded on the rear chassis cross members to take the spring trunnions. Other steel fittings, plates, brackets, stainless battery box etc. were made up for me by the people at the metal fabricators whom I then worked for. A trip to Sports and Vintage in Shrewsbury supplied me with all the other bits and pieces I thought I needed as well as relining the clutch plate. This was followed by a trip to Jones Springs to recondition the springs. This lot must be collected by 12.30pm on Friday 25th October. If the buyer has not collected by this time it will automatically be removed and placed into storage, incurring a removal charge of £100 + VAT, to include the first week of storage, unless otherwise noted.

Ca. 1800 - 1815.A flintlock pistol with a smoothbore barrel. There is a stamped crowned cypher on the lock plate immediately underneath the powder pan, though the letter beneath the crown is unclear. This style of gun is similar to the New Land Pattern pistol adopted by the British Army in the early 1800s but lacks a retaining spring for the ramrod and ordinance marks, suggesting that it was a civilian purchase possibly for an officer or member of the East India Company.

Registration No: Y834 MWL Chassis No: SCFAC133X1B500004 MOT: July 2025Loaned by Aston Martin to EON Productions for a photoshoot at Pinewood Studios with Pierce Brosnan to promote the twentieth James Bond film, 'Die Another Day'Finished in the same Tungsten Silver with Charcoal leather and an aluminium centre console as the hero cars in the film (hence the reason it was requested for the photoshoot)A notably early production example and one of seven cars which were initially retained by the factory for press dutiesSubsequently road registered as 'M16 SPY' and 'A12 AML'Part of a prominent Aston Martin collection since 2003The lead car in a parade to commemorate the opening of the M6 Toll roadJust c.37,800 miles from newPLEASE NOTE: The check engine light has recently appeared on this lot.A landmark model in Aston Martin’s history, the Vanquish MkI was unveiled at the 2001 Geneva Salon. Styled by Ian Callum and notable as his first ‘clean sheet’ design for the marque (as opposed to the DB7 which sat on a modified Jaguar platform), the newcomer featured a bonded composite aluminium chassis with carbon fibre backbone. Developed in conjunction with Lotus, the structure was equipped with all-round independent suspension and four-wheel, ventilated ABS disc brakes. A true Grand Tourer available in two-seater or 2+2-seater guises, the Vanquish was powered by a 6-litre V12 DOHC engine allied to automated six-speed manual transmission. With some 460bhp and 400lbft of torque on tap, the Fixed-Head Coupe was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5 seconds and 190mph. Although it broke a lot of new ground, the Vanquish was also notable as the last Aston Martin to be handbuilt at Newport Pagnell, with just 1,503 being completed before the arrival of the Vanquish ‘S’ in 2004. Confident that it had produced a winner, Aston Martin readied seven early production cars for UK press duties road registering them as ‘Y829 MWL’ through to ‘Y836 MWL’ during June 2001 (with the exception of ‘Y830 MWL’). The septet then appeared in a plethora of magazines and brochures. Taken on a road trip to Scotland, this particular example – ‘Y834 MWL’ – was the subject of a multi-page article entitled ‘Loch, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’. However, its true claim to fame came was when it was delivered to Pinewood Studios to be photographed alongside Pierce Brosnan as part of the promotional campaign for the twentieth James Bond film, ‘Die Another Day’.Notable as the first 007 outing since ‘The Living Daylights’ in 1987 to star a current Aston Martin model as the hero car, ‘Die Another Day’ signified a re-forging of the links amid the British manufacturer and EON Productions such that the world’s most famous spy has remained a resolute Aston man ever since! Invited to the factory before filming commenced, Brosnan was sufficiently bowled over by the Vanquish to acquire one which remained with him until 2015 (when it was sadly destroyed in a house fire). Finished in the same Tungsten Silver with Charcoal leather and an aluminium centre console as the Vanquish's that lit up the silver screen but sadly lacking their ejector seat, missiles and machine guns, ‘Y834 MWL’ was an obvious choice for the Pierce Brosnan / Pinewood Studios photoshoot which was subsequently syndicated worldwide. Indeed, images from the iconic collaboration between James Bond and ‘Y834 MWL’ are still being used by numerous newspapers, magazines and websites today. Having graced the front cover of Aston Martin News in February 2002, the GT sported the appropriate number plate ‘M16 SPY’ for a brief while before being sold to the vendor by JCT600 of Leeds the following year. A prominent (and prolific) Aston Martin collector, the seller has enjoyed exhibiting his ‘James Bond’ Vanquish at numerous events and shows over the years, not to mention touring abroad with the Aston Martin Owners’ Club to the Le Mans 24-hours and Portugal etc. However, his favourite memory of the Tungsten-hued Coupe is from 9th December 2003 when he headed the parade of cars which were the very first to use the M6 Toll road. Registered as ‘A12 AML’ at the time (aping the ‘V12 AML’ number used by the factory), the GT reverted to its most famous plate ‘Y834 MWL’ during February 2022. Accompanying service invoices suggest that the Vanquish has covered 18,000 of its warranted c.37,800 miles in the vendor’s hands (albeit less than 4,000 of those have been accrued over the past decade). Highly original, the GT looks very much the same as it did when promoting ‘Die Another Day’ twenty-two years ago. Any Vanquish is a special car with Evo magazine naming the model as one of its 25 most significant performance cars of the last 25 years in 2023 and commenting thus: “If the DB4 of 1958 signalled the start of Aston’s original golden era, the Vanquish kick-started a new golden age that would see Gaydon-built cars, led by DB9 and Vantage, achieve unprecedented sales. Quite simply, it sparked the most successful period in Aston history, and for that Aston fans – and really anyone who enjoys the rich tapestry of performance cars – should be forever grateful”. However, as a bona fide piece of James Bond memorabilia, ‘Y834 MWL’ has a significance all its own. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file, owners handbook and service book plus current MOT certificate valid until July 2025.

Registration No: T.B.A Chassis No: 130308 MOT: ExemptFormerly part of the Aalholm Automobil Museum, DenmarkEuropean spec 356 displaying c.48,240kmRefurbished, retaining some original patinaSupplied with an extensive history and many original partsA fantastic, regularly driven iconic Porsche that could be taken to the next levelThe Porsche 356 was Porsche's first production automobile when it appeared in 1948, from their Gmund, Austria facility. The model designation crossed-over the introduction of the 911 (1964), with production of the 356 ending in 1965, North America still sending orders to Zuffenhausen, Germany, through 1965. The last revision was the 356 C and more powerful stablemate 356 SC, were both introduced for the 1964 model year. The ‘C’ possessed a version of Porsche’s 1600cc air-cooled flat-four boxer with a 4-speed transmission and with disc brakes all round. A lightweight and nimble-handling, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-door, available both in hardtop Coupé and open configurations, its engineering innovations continued throughout production, contributing to its motorsport success and popularity.Acquired in 2012, this former resident of the Aalholm Automobil Museum, Denmark, is a European market left-hand drive example. It was brought to the UK in 2002 and has had just two previous UK owners recorded, the current since 2011. Condition-wise, there’s a mix of original patina on top, however, underneath it's been refurbished. In ownership, the 356 C has been the subject of an engine, gearbox (new clutch, flywheel and mounts) and suspension overhaul (new bushes and bearings etc.) and refreshed brake calipers. The engine has seen the addition of Prill 1720 pistons & cylinders, new valves and guides and a Prill fast-road camshaft etc. Furthermore, the Zenith carburettors have been overhauled and the generator refurbished, noticeably producing more voltage.To the benefit of improved performance, heat exchangers and related heater components were removed and the Karmann Konnection Sebring exhaust fitted, all removing significant weight, the vendor not requiring any heater in the summer months he has driven the car. Inside, the seats have been reupholstered, with new internals, powder-coated frames etc and enhanced with Pepita inserts, more 'grippy' seats which were introduced from December 1963. The original steering wheel & gear knob are in a box of removed parts. The vendor comments, ‘it drives well - notably since the suspension and engine were done'. Kept in a heated and dehumidified garage, it has seen use as a, as the vendor puts it, as a ‘great dry-day daily driver’. It’s now time for another custodian and our vendor admits he will miss it. The 356 C is offered with a history file, a number of removed parts and an up-to-date V5C Registration Document will accompany the sale. The aforementioned removed parts will need to be collected from Poole, Dorset after the sale. The cherished plate ‘DCJ 1A is not sold with the car and we believe the Porsche will be put back on its previous plate, ‘DUJ 204B’.

Notably compact, its 7ft 6in wheelbase chassis featured all-round leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and an underslung rear axle. Fed by twin carburettors and utilising an (optional) Scintilla magneto, the two-seater’s free-revving 1.1 litre engine developed some 42bhp and was allied to four-speed transmission. Tipping the scales at just 17cwt, the Imp was reputedly capable of 80mph (a speed few class rivals could match). Total production figures are unknown but have been estimated at 120–150 cars of which some 80 are known to have survived. According to its accompanying buff logbook, chassis 6027484 was first issued with the London number plate 'BXO 32' on 20th May 1935. Surviving World War Two, the Riley belonged to K.F. Rouse Esq of Birmingham for almost thirty years (1948-1977) before being bought by noted collector Graham Galliers. Finished in White with Cream upholstery at the time, the Imp then passed to Tony Smith of Cheshire who had specialist Bill Morris overhaul and uprate the ENV four-speed pre-selector gearbox (needle roller bearings supplanting the original bronze bushes) as well as attending to the oil pump and brakes etc. Taking possession in 2006, the two-seater’s previous keeper entrusted it to marque specialist Blue Diamond Services for a full service and thorough going over. The same company were tasked with repainting the Riley in its original Maroon hue and overhauling its factory-fitted engine. The latter having its white metal bearings renewed, Omega pistons fitted, power-sapping, lag tappets removed and crankshaft balanced etc. The SU carburettors were refurbished and the copper piping renewed / replaced as necessary. A dyno report on file shows an increased power output of 57bhp (some thirty-five percent up on standard). Entering the current ownership via Bonhams’ 2013 Goodwood Revival auction for £74,300, the Riley is said to have since benefited from a further £20,000-plus worth of expenditure. A former yacht skipper and horologist with a consequently fine eye for detail, the vendor has had the rear axle ratio raised from 5.25 to 4.55 which he feels has ‘transformed the car’ by making first gear a usable ratio and increasing the cruising speed. A Riley Register member, the seller considers the Imp to be in ‘very good’ mechanical condition such that he is ‘not afraid to use it for any occasion’. Deemed to be ‘very good’ cosmetically aside from the odd blemish, ‘BXO 32’ is potentially eligible for a variety of Vintage Sports Car Club events. Pretty and rare in equal measure, this delectable Imp is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, numerous bills / invoices and history file.

Registration No: UIL 430 Chassis No: ZFFEZ59C000164409 MOT: June 2025Stunning right-hand drive F430 Spider F1Finished in Nero Daytona complemented to a Sabbia leather interiorBelieved to be 1 of the last 10 examples made37,471 miles from new, owner's wallet, handbook and service bookFactory options include carbon ceramic discs and carbon interior trimUnderstood to have been previously owned by Tony Iommi from Black SabbathA 'superbly' maintained example, extensive service history and no-expense spared in current ownershipHere's a milestone car. The F430 was the first no-buts Ferrari, the first Maranello product for which no excuses needed to be made. It was regarded by most critics as, if not perfect, as close to theoretical Ferrari road-car perfection as a Ferrari had ever been' (John Simister, EVO magazine, March 12th 2013).Unveiled at the Geneva Salon in March 2005, the F430 Spider was a modest 70kg heavier than its Berlinetta sibling. However, the structural strengthening this weight gain allowed meant that the newcomer was a dynamic match for its fixed roof stablemate under most circumstances (Richard Bremner commenting, in Autocar magazine, that he was only aware of any loss of rigidity perhaps one percent of the time). Styled by Pininfarina under the guidance of Frank Stephenson, the F430 Spider featured a reinforced windscreen and twin steel rollover hoops and could retract its fabric roof under an aluminium 'double bubble' tonneau cover in twenty seconds. The elliptical air intakes which dominated its nose recalled those of the Ferrari 156 'shark nose' F1 car, while its tail treatment echoed that of the marque's revered Enzo hypercar.Derived from that of its F360 predecessor, the two-seater's aluminium chassis boasted improved torsional stiffness and played host to all-round independent suspension, four-wheel vented disc brakes (complete with ABS) and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Displacing 4308cc, its 'quad cam', 32-valve V8 was quoted as developing 483bhp and 343lbft of torque. Allied to either manual or F1-style 'paddle shift' transmission (both six-speed), it enabled the F430 Spider to sprint from 0-60mph in 4.1 seconds and onto over 193mph.Supplied new by Lancaster Ferrari, Sevenoaks, this Spider with the F1 gearbox (paddle shift or auto) is a 2009 model and is understood to be one of the last batch of 10 to be manufactured. Presenting in Nero Daytona with ‘Scuderia Ferrari’ shields, Nero Black soft-top and complementing Porsche ‘Aurum’ coloured wheels and Inlet Manifold. The Nero Daytona bodywork has seen ceramic coating, along with paint protection film, to keep the sumptuous Black hue looking its best. A nice touch is the ‘F430’ relevant number plate accompanying the sale.The Nero Daytona paintwork would certainly have suited the F430’s previous owner, member of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi who has often been described as one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time.The 430’s interior wears Sabbia (Sand) Roll-bar upholstery, windscreen surround and roll-over hoops. With complementing Nero (Black) carpets, juxtaposed with a carbon steering wheel and interior inlays, Carbon dashboard inserts, heated leather seats, RadioNav system with Bluetooth connectivity, Navtrak anti-theft system and front and rear parking sensors. The 430 has the benefit of a carbon-ceramic brake system, a £20,000 option when new. The Ferrari Yellow-shield colours are carried over to the brake calipers and the Yellow instrument panel lights.With Ferrari main dealer service history throughout, for the last 3 years the car has been maintained at JCT600 Ferrari Leeds, since 2021, by Danny Dawson who has won Ferrari World’s Best Technician for the last 2 years running, with the last service at 34,736 miles in May 2024. Expenditure has included the purchase of a plenum and importantly new exhaust manifolds in 2021. There are JCT600 print-outs, dated 16th May 2024 and at 34,534 miles, that record the level of wear of both the clutch and the discs, with both results summarised as ‘OK’.Driven on a nine-country European tour quite recently, the Spider is now offered to a new custodian. Possessing a full set of books in its Ferrari leather folder, there is also a collection of invoices that accompany the owner’s wallet with the handbook, fully stamped service book and the V5C Registration Document. Additionally, there are the 2 Ferrari keys and the full tool-kit. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: AYE 979 Chassis No: Z 10464 MOT: ExemptSupplied new to Harris and Russell Ltd of Tottenham Court Road, LondonIn current ownership since 2007 and continually improved throughout the vendor's ownershipA comparably late 3-Litre with the stronger ‘ZM’ type chassisRe-bodied in the late-1980s/early-1990s in the style of Vanden Plas tourerThe Lagonda 3 Litre began production in late 1929 as successor to the 2 Litre. In fact, the 2 Litre continued to be made in various guises until 1933, while the 3 Litre was phased out the following year. The early 3 Litres utilised a Z-Type 10ft 9in wheelbase chassis which was an extended and modified version of that employed by the four-cylinder 2 Litre. Elongated from the scuttle forwards, the revised frame could thus accommodate the newcomer's six-cylinder engine. The 'heavy pattern' Z-Type gearbox and ENV rear axle were used providing a final drive ratio of 4.1:1. The 3 Litre model's initial bore and stroke stood at 72mm x 120mm providing 2931cc capacity. These earlier engines are instantly identified by six camshaft tunnel covers on the side of the block. On later cars this capacity was increased to 3181cc with a bore of 75mm - the larger engine is recognised by corresponding 3 plate camshaft tunnel covers and a deeper rocker cover to accommodate longer valve stems. Both engines boasted a robust seven-bearing crankshaft and a fully flooded roller cam follower and valve actuation design. This provided a quiet and smooth operation with a longer operating life than was commonly achieved amongst its peers.A true thoroughbred, the 3 Litre attracted a select clientele and enjoyed sundry competition success (most notably Lord de Clifford's fine performances aboard a Works 3-Litre on the 1931 Monte Carlo and 1932 RAC rallies). Testing a Lagonda 3-Litre in 1929, The Motor reckoned it was ‘difficult to imagine a car nearer an ideal than one which combines the full performance of a speed model with the top gear performance of the best modern touring car.’ The 3-litre was, indeed, exceptionally flexible, being able to accelerate from 5mph to its maximum of around 80mph in top gear. Motor Sport summed up the 3-Litre Lagonda as ‘a very pleasant car of very high quality and possessing that indefinable but very definite character which stamps the thoroughbred in every walk of life’ – sentiments with which we can only concur.Chassis number ‘10464’ was supplied new to Harris and Russell Ltd of Tottenham Court Road, London being first registered on the 16th of October 1933, initially clothed in Pillarless Saloon coachwork. Retained by them until 1942, the later wartime history is unknown, before being acquired by eccentric car collector Henry Elland of Waddens Brook Estate. Upon the passing of Mr. Elland in 1984, a large auction of the collection was held, through which the Lagonda was purchased by Robert Goodchild of Chapel-on-le-Frith. However, by this stage, the coachwork was beyond renovation, and it is believed that Mr Goodchild fitted a Tourer coachwork by Mulliner. Sold at a H&H auction in Buxton in 1996, the 3-Litre passed through a couple of other owners and was provided with another Vanden Plas style Tourer body, before being exported to Belgium.Repatriated by the current owner in 2007, the vendor is a long-term Lagonda Club and Aston Martin Owners Club member, and ‘10464’ has been well-used throughout the vendor’s custodianship, on multiple clubs runs and tours, including to Le Mans and of the Yorkshire Dales. Continuously improved during the time with the vendor, with notable works comprising new hood, sidescreens (never used), hood bag and tonneau cover costing c.£5,750 in 2008; engine overhaul and repainting to the cost of c.£11,800 in 2014; further engine improvements in 2017 costing c.£2,200; refurbished water pump £550 and a re-cored radiator £1,700 in 2019; and improvements to the Borg & Beck clutch in 2023 costing some £880, as well as multiple services. Starting readily and both running and driving well during the recent photography session, the Lagonda is accompanied by a history file comprising Lagonda Club records, a collection of invoices, and a current V5C document.

Registration No: GD 4233 Chassis No: 1171 MOT: ExemptOne of just twenty-four Bentley 3-Litre cars known to have survived with its original J. Gurney Nutting coachworkMatching chassis, bonnet, steering box and rear axleFitted with a period 3-Litre power unit from a Speed modelNow presenting with gorgeous patination after an extensive restoration in the 1970s and well maintained sinceA wonderful and imposing Vintage Bentley"It was not the means whereby the 3-Litre Bentley performed, but the manner in which it did it, that endeared the car to sportsmen who took pride in their driving. The engine was remarkably flexible, strong and reliable, the gear ratios admirably chosen, the handling excellent and the quality unremittingly high. So, also, was the price, but an ever-growing reputation, augmented by striking racing victories - including the Le Mans 24 hours of 1924 and 1927 - ensured its success" ('Classic Sports Cars' by Cyril Posthumus and David Hodges).A railway engineering apprentice turned aero engine designer, Walter Owen Bentley previewed his first creation, the immortal 3-Litre, at the October 1919 London Motor Show (though, he would not deem it production ready for another two years). Inspired by a 1914 Humber TT racer, the newcomer's ladder-frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and rear-wheel drum brakes (four-wheel brakes becoming the norm from 1924 onwards). The car's heart and most advanced feature was its 2996cc engine. A long-stroke four-cylinder (80mm x 149mm) that prioritized torque over top-end power, it boasted a five-bearing crankshaft, shaft-driven overhead camshaft, monobloc construction, twin ignition, four valves per cylinder and aluminium pistons.Developing between 65bhp and 88bhp, the unit was allied to a separate four-speed gate-change gearbox. Supplied in bare chassis guise only, albeit with a choice of wheelbase lengths and engine tune, the 3-Litre remained in production until 1929 by which time some 1,621 are thought to have been made. As well as its two Le Mans victories, the Bentley enjoyed considerable success at Brooklands and even broke the 24-hour world record around Montlhery setting a 95mph average speed.According to Dr Clare Hay’s authoritative book, 'Bentley - The Vintage Years', chassis 1171 was built as a 1926 model on the standard 10ft 10in wheelbase and fitted with four-seater Tourer coachwork by Gurney Nutting. Supplied new by G.M. Gladstone Motors Ltd of Glasgow to J.D. Cousin Esq of Kinachoile House, Dunblane, the Bentley was first registered as ‘GD 4233’. Remaining north of the border, the 3 Litre then belonged to Peter Sinclair Esq of Alloa and Frederick Shanks Esq. of Arbroath (the latter’s family being well know industrialists with links to Queen Victoria and St Andrew’s Golf Course). Post-WW2, the Tourer had passed to ‘A. Peduzzi’ who may or may not have been Anna Maria Peduzzi (the first woman to race for Scuderia Ferrari). Fitted with a Ford diesel engine during the 1960s, the following decade saw chassis 1171 extensively restored by Liverpool businessman, Matthew Wright Esq. Sympathetically done, the refurbishment included the sourcing and installation of a correct-type replacement powerplant from a Speed Model (engine number LM1336) and chassis overhaul by Rubery Owen. Repainted Black and re-trimmed in Red, the 3 Litre was also rewired and had attention paid to its gearbox, steering brakes and suspension etc. Changing hands thereafter, chassis 1171 joined the vendor’s impressive collection in 2015. Remarkably well-preserved given the age of its renovation and a tribute to Mr Wright’s thoroughness, the Tourer now exhibits a gentle patina. Starting readily and running well during our photography session, ‘GD 4233’ is due to be driven to IWM Duxford for the sale. Aided by his W.O. Bentley owning neighbour who has advised on, and helped with maintenance, the vendor believes chassis 1171 to be more than up to the journey and indeed has used it on a frequent basis albeit for modest journeys. Pleasingly retaining its original bonnet, magneto switch plate, back axle and steering column (all of which are numbered correctly) not to mention its original Gurney Nutting coachwork which still carries its Bentley Motors tag, this delightful 3 Litre has much to recommend it. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and full weather equipment. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: GF 5087Chassis No: 46163MOT: ExemptSupplied new by Col. Sorrel to 'Montmorensie' and subsequently the property of J.M. Carrick, J. Montgomerie, A.R. Gooda, R.J. Rickards, D.E. Crowther and the vendorOriginal chassis, engine and transaxle. Front axle understood to be of Molsheim manufacture but no number discernedDecidedly elegant Weymann coachworkThere is no doubt ‘La Petite Royale’ succeeded where ‘(La Grande) Royale’ failed in terms of cementing Bugatti’s status as a luxury motorcar manufacturer; little wonder then that the model was reputedly among Ettore’s favourites. Le Patron would surely have approved of this particular example – chassis 46163 – too on the basis that it sports a scaled-down version of the magnificent semi-panelled Weymann Coach body which adorned his personal Type 41 ‘Royale’ when it won the 1929 Grand Prix d'Honneur Concours d'Elegance complete with ‘letterbox’ windscreen, kick-forward A-pillar, D-back and asymmetric rear windows. Invoiced to UK concessionaire Colonel Sorrel on 7th January 1930 for the princely sum of FF63,000 (including FF2,570 of extra fittings), the two-door Fixed Head was delivered a month later. Issued with the London number plate ‘GF 5087’ on April 2nd 1930, the Type 46’s first owner is simply recorded as ‘Montmorensie’ who we presume to have been the artist Sir Miles Fletcher de Montmorency, 17th Baronet Morres of Knockagh. Deriving an income from his Irish estates but residing in the English Capital, de Montmorency seemingly kept the four-seater until 1939/1940 when it was bought by Rodney Clarke Esq. for a mere £30! The co-founder of renowned Bugatti and Maserati specialists Continental Cars (and later Connaught), Clarke believed chassis 46163 to have been the Type 46 that he loaned to Cecil Clutton and Laurence Pomeroy for a test drive which was subsequently written-up in the April 1942 issue of Motor Sport magazine. Hand- and typewritten correspondence on file also reveals that ‘GF 5087’ was the car in which Pamela Clarke ‘missed being born by five minutes’ during 1943.Migrating to Scotland thereafter, the close-coupled four-seater belonged to J.M. Carrick Esq. of Coldstream, Berwick and then John Montgomerie Esq of Castle Douglas. The latter acquired it in 1954 and as the proprietor of James Gordon (Engineers) Ltd set about a ‘chassis up, body off’ restoration. Amazingly, much of the work is chronicled via a series of accompanying black and white photographs. Done on a piecemeal basis, the project had yet to be completed when Robert Prosser (acting on behalf of Robert Gooda Esq.) tracked the Bugatti to Castle Douglas during 1973. In two minds about selling, Montgomerie asked what he felt was an overly ambitious £4,000 for chassis 46163 and was somewhat taken aback to be pretty much handed a deposit there and then. Custodian for less than a year, Mr Gooda had the Type 46 re-registered as ‘GF 5087’ but apparently did little else prior to his premature demise. Advertised for £6,500 in the Thursday February 21st 1974 issue of Exchange & Mart, the Bugatti had in fact changed hands earlier that month being bought by R.J. Rickards Esq. Entering into correspondence with Mr Montgomerie, Mr Rickards received a wealth of information about the mechanical overhaul and was even sent the water pump. The engine is the original factory-fitted unit and is clearly stamped with the numbers ‘79’ and ‘195’. The former is the actual engine number, while the latter is the assembly number (and not that of a correct-type replacement, as had been previously posited). Mr Rickards would own the Bugatti for no less than thirty years during which time he repaired the ash frame, had the fabric panelling renewed in Blue by coachbuilder I. Wilkinson & Son of Derby and retrimmed the interior etc but, like his predecessors, did not finish it. Sold to its previous keeper Douglas Crowther Esq via the agency of Gavin McGuire Fine Automobiles in 2004, the Type 46 was further improved with all six of its alloy wheels being expensively refurbished before entering the current ownership a decade later.An automotive engineer by profession whose career took him all over the globe on various troubleshooting and project management missions, the vendor has had a lifelong passion for motorcars. Inspired by a petrolhead stepfather and racing driver mother, he has undertaken numerous restorations over the years and still has a 1932 Alvis which has been in his family since new. As well as completely rewiring the Weymann Coach including rejuvenating the ignition system (no mean feat given the lack of available information on the twin-plug set-up), he has had the instruments restored and the interior trim completed. Thought to have begun life with Marchal lighting, ‘GF 5087’ switched over to Scintilla components early in its life (the fuse box and horn are marked Scintilla too). More original than many surviving Bugattis, chassis 46163 has recently been inspected by the marque historian and Honorary Registrar of the Bugatti Owners’ Club, Mark Morris. Keen to be as authentic as possible in his endeavours, the seller has persisted with the Smith-Bariquand carburettor and reinstated the full-length running boards (a task made easier by the presence of the factory mounting holes). The ‘Metro Fully Flush Sliding Roof’ remains in situ and operational. Although a going concern, ‘GF 5087’ has yet to be run-in and / or de-bugged since the completion of its protracted, seven-decade, refurbishment. Housed within an engine-turned aluminium panel, the Jaegar instruments encompass a 150kmh speedometer and zeroed odometer.Aesthetics are subjective but we consider chassis 46163 to be among the most attractive Type 46s to have survived. Our sentiments being presaged by Cecil Clutton in Motor Sport eighty-two years ago: ‘This particular car is undoubtedly one of the most handsome ever, as is universally agreed by all beholders . . . The body is a two-door, four-light Weymann, with a large travelling trunk behind. The wheels are of the aluminium type. Some 5-litres are rather “lumps” in appearance, but this one is essentially “sleek.” An overall height of only 5’ 3”, as against a wheelbase of no less than 11’ 6”, largely contributes to the exceptionally fine appearance’. The potential jewel in many a collection and a fabulous opportunity for Bugattistes everywhere, this glorious ‘Petite Royale’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file, Mark Morris report and spare block (which was purchased from marque specialist ‘Ivan Dutton’ on a ‘just in case / you never know’ basis).For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: 208 UXF Chassis No: B332FV MOT: April 2025The subject of an extensive and high quality past restorationA 'cut above' the majority of surviving MkVI Saloons and worthy of close inspectionNotably good body, paint and chromework plus much of its original interiorPrevious engine overhaul by a leading RR&B Specialist Association MemberIntroduced in 1946, the MKVI was Bentley's first post-war model. Built around a massive cruciform-braced chassis equipped with independent front suspension and a leaf-sprung rear axle, its freshly developed 4257cc OISE straight-six engine was mated to four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph when clad in the factory's understated but stylish 'standard steel saloon' coachwork, the MKVI developed a reputation for being a refined yet responsive drive. No ordinary MKVI, chassis B332FV was for many years the property of a classic car restorer who specialised in post-WW2 Bentleys. Refurbished to award winning condition as a calling card for his business and proudly exhibited at the 2016 Bentley Drivers’ Club’s Concours d’Elegance, the four-seater remains extremely presentable. The front seats have been partially retrimmed and seatbelts added but the rest of the interior appears pleasingly original with leather bound carpets and the correct matt finish to the wood veneers etc. Indeed, the seller considers ‘208 UXF’ to represent ‘originality at its finest’. Starting readily and running well during our visit having had a major engine overhaul circa fifteen years ago, the MKVI has been enjoyed for a variety of journeys this year including a 200-mile plus round trip to Silverstone. The sunroof is operational and most of the original tools present. Proudly featured on the restorer’s website and Facebook page, there is even a video of the Bentley in motion on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8uyN9SKg8U). Built in 1949 but not registered until January 1950 when it was bought new by a Kings Lynn-based solicitor, the Sports Saloon subsequently belonged to Major-General Sir Allan Henry Shafto Adair, 6th Baronet, GCVO, CB, DSO, MC & Bar, JP, DL; a hero of both World Wars. Off the road for a time, the four-seater was re-registered with the DVLA during 1979 sporting the number plate ‘GVF 1’ for several decades. Treated to a renovation which would far, far exceed the guide price if carried out today, ‘208 UXF’ is worthy of close inspection.

Registration No: F350 RNM Chassis No: SCAZ500A1KCH24656 MOT: May 2025Presented in an attractive Blue with contrasting Cream leather interiorIn current ownership the last 9 years and in a previous ownership 15 yearsJust 72,530 miles on the odometer, with 5 owners from newPLEASE NOTE: The registration number in the photographs is not included in the saleA square-cut, broad-shouldered design, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit was styled in-house by Austrian-born Fritz Feller. Although derived from that of the preceding Silver Shadow, the newcomer’s floorpan offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling thanks to its novel Girling automatic ride height control and gas shock absorbers. By combining copious amounts of sound deadening with the finest quality upholstery, Crewe's engineers kept intrusion from the 6.75 litre V8 engine and automatic transmission to a muted hush (unless the model's reputed 120mph potential was explored). Driver inputs were minimised with power-assisted steering and disc brakes. Only in production between 1980 and 1989, just 8,129 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit Saloons are thought to have been made.First registered on 1st August 1988, this particular Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit is presented in the attractive combination of Blue with contrasting Cream leather interior. Having had just 5 keepers over its lifetime with its first keepe change in December 1993 and the following in March 1997, a large proportion of the car’s life was spent with a Mr D Sherwood; a Solicitor from Brighton, East Sussex. The history file is picked up in his ownership in 1997, and remained with him registered to him and his company, Thompson Sherwood Solicitors until March 2012. During his ownership, the car was used sparingly; maintained with Harwoods and latterly with a local garage, Grants Garage.Purchased by the current ownership since February 2015, this charming Rolls-Royce has been enthusiast-owned, with maintenance when required and MOT’d every year. Now showing just 72,530 miles on the odometer and with a no-advisory MOT valid until 14 May 2025, this car is offered for sale for its next custodian to enjoy. Accompanied with the vehicle is a history file containing numerous MOT certificates dating back as far as 1995, Invoices dating back as far as 1995, as well as the current V5C document which displays 5 former keepers. Please note the current registration, ‘F20 RJD’ is to be removed prior to sale, with the anticipated return of the previous plate, as above.

Registration No: TJH 525D Chassis No: DB6/2453/R MOT: ExemptSupplied new via Plough Motors to Aegues Properties Ltd of Cheltenham and initially registered as 'GDD 222D'In single ownership from 1972 - 2024, by which time it had been repainted from Silver Birch to Fiesta Red and granted its current 'TJH 525D' number plateMatching chassis and engine numbers and desirable ZF 5-speed manual gearboxAccompanying paperwork dates back to 1971 when the DB6 underwent a major service at the factoryTreated to a partial re-trim and new battery by the vendor. Running and driving with decent oil pressure but would benefit from further recommissioningUnveiled at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was the first Aston Martin model to be engineered following the company's move from Feltham to Newport Pagnell. Although a direct development of the DB5, with the same visage, the newcomer enjoyed notably better high-speed stability thanks to the provision of a Kamm tail, and superior interior space courtesy of a 3.7-inch longer wheelbase and taller roofline. Grafted over a sheet steel platform chassis, the four-seater's hand-finished aluminium panels helped contribute to a claimed kerb weight of 3,232lbs that was actually only 17lbs heavier than its predecessor. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its poise, the DB6 employed all-round coil-sprung suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by the famous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine, the model boasted some 325bhp and 288lbft of torque in uprated Vantage tune and could be had with five-speed ZF manual or three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. A contemporary road test found a manual DB6 Vantage to be capable of 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds and 150mph. A total of 1,327 MkI Saloons were produced between October 1965 and the MkII's July 1969 arrival. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis DB6/2453/R was completed on 20th January 1966 and despatched to Plough Motors (Stroud Valley) Ltd some six weeks later. Originally finished in Silver Birch, the Aston Martin’s impressive specification also encompassed the more powerful Vantage engine, ZF 5-speed manual transmission, heated rear windscreen, powered aerial and chrome wire wheels with three-eared spinners. Supplied new to Aegues Properties Ltd of Cheltenham, the DB6 was returned to the factory for a major service during November 1971, by which time it belonged to G.A. Darlington Esq of Newton Hall, Suffolk and had exchanged its first number plate ‘GDD 222D’ for the current one ‘TJH 525D’. Repainted Fiesta Red prior to being bought by C.E. McKinney Esq the following year, the 2+2-seater remained in his care until 2024. A pilot by profession, Mr McKinney used the Aston Martin for commuting in the 1970s but only on high days and holidays thereafter. Invoices on file show that the DB6 has covered a mere 20,000 miles since having its cylinder head overhauled by W. Rennie-Roberts of Colchester during April 1975 (the warranted odometer reading stands at just 98,000). Other bills from Aston Martin Lagonda, Aston Service Dorset, Puddleduck and Rikki Cann attest to ongoing maintenance. The brake system has been refurbished (2002-2003), the starter motor rejuvenated (2010) and the fuel pump renewed (2011). Entrusted to Classic and Retro of Sible Hedingham in late 2012 at a recorded 97,585 miles, the 2+2-seater had attention paid to its ignition system, interior trim (headlining, carpets, rear seat base etc), window rubbers and brakes not to mention being treated to new wire wheels and tyres. Further improved by Woodbridge Classic Cars at a cost of £2,947.18 during June 2015, they replaced the engine and fuel tank mounts, installed new steering rack gaiters, changed the left-hand servo gaskets and tuned the triple Weber carburettors. Reluctantly put up for sale after more than half a century due to the physicality of driving it, ‘TJH 525D’ entered the current ownership in January this year. A lifelong Aston Martin enthusiast, the vendor has partially re-trimmed the cabin (new front seat facings and boot carpet) and begun the recommissioning process. Starting readily during our recent photography session (August 2024) and driven to and from the location, the DB6 recorded good oil pressure but would nevertheless benefit from more mechanical fettling. The underside appeared sound during our cursory inspection, with evidence of new sills and jacking points being fitted in the past. The seller had intended to return the 2+2-seater to its initial Silver Birch hue. However, the acquisition of another DB6 whilst waiting for a slot at his preferred body shop has meant that ‘TJH 525D’ is now surplus to requirements. Pleasingly retaining its original Vantage engine albeit with the bonus of comparatively fresh Weber carburettors and a stainless steel exhaust, this much-loved and archetypal British GT is now ready for its next long-term custodian.

Registration No: T.B.A Chassis No: SAJAC44P075B05181 MOT: March 2025Warranted 47,000 miles from newJust two former keepers, having been retained in first ownership until 2019Striking colour combination of Zircon Blue paintwork with Caramel interior upholsteryOffered with a history file including the original stamped service bookIntroduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK range was styled by Ian Callum. Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse, and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured aluminium construction, independent suspension, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. A rival to the Porsche 911 and Mercedes-Benz SL, the Jaguar XK / XKR remained in production until 2014 by which time a mere 54,000 had been sold (vs 212,704 997s and 169,443 R230s).Manufactured in 2006, the XK Convertible offered was registered new on the 16th June and is finished in the striking colour combination of Zircon Blue paintwork with complementary Caramel leather interior upholstery and a Black hood. Wearing plate ‘LJ 9’ from virtually new until exiting first ownership in 2019, the Jaguar is offered now having covered just 47,000 miles from new and had just a mere two former keepers. Supplied with a history file that includes the book pack with stamped service book which illustrates thirteen services, almost all from Jaguar main agents, with one from a Rolls-Royce/Bentley specialist (the most recent) last year at 45,010 miles. Rated by the vendor as having ‘very good’ electrical equipment, paintwork and interior trim, the bodywork, engine, and gearbox are all rated as ‘excellent’.

Registration No: BOG 6 Chassis No: 860657 MOT: May 2025Entered from The Merlin CollectionA 'home market' car supplied new via Henlys of LondonExtensively restored and reconfigured for competition use in 2000 - 2001Subsequently campaigned at the Spa 6-Hours, Goodwood Members Meeting, Zolder and the Nurburgring etcAluminium bonnet, tailgate and doors plus plexiglass side / rear windows (previously weighted at 1,100kg kerbwieght)Rob Beere engine developing over 340bhp yet docile enough for road usePurchased from Jaguar Land Rover Classic's 'Works Legends' showroom (where it was advertised for £249,940)Used by the vendor as an exhilarating 'fast road' car with its suspension recalibrated accordingly and a bespoke 'peg drive' space saver wheel made especially for itFIA HTP valid until 2027According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Production Record Trace Certificate, chassis 860657 was completed on 14th June 1962 and despatched to distributor Henlys Limited of London some three weeks later. Originally finished in Opalescent Silver Blue and issued with the Soke of Peterborough number plate ‘PFL 478’ on 3rd August 1962, the Fixed Head Coupe belonged to Robert Henry Williams Esq of Dunstable, Bedfordshire the following decade. Sold to Michael Moore Esq of Broomstick Cars in 1984 (arguably better known for their BS120 homage to the Jaguar XK120), the E-Type was uprated to ‘Semi Lightweight’ specification around the turn of the Millennium. Stripped to bare metal, its aluminium bonnet, tailgate and doors were sourced from the renowned RS Panels. First issued with FIA papers during 2001, the two-seater raced at Zolder, the Nurburgring, Spa 6-hours and Goodwood Members’ Meeting thereafter. Acquired by historic racer and serial E-Type campaigner Paul Kennelly in 2011, he initially tasked marque specialist CKL Developments with further lightening and improving chassis 860657. However, it would be another five years before he commissioned John Arnold of Brooklands Motorsport (and later Revival Motorsport) to ‘turn the Coupe into a well-prepared, competitive race car’. Disassembled once more, the Jaguar was refinished in its original Opalescent Silver Blue and trimmed in Dark Blue to match Mr Kennelly’s existing Lightweight Roadster ‘245 YUB’. Air duct cooling was added to the front and rear brakes and the existing Rob Beere 3.8 litre XK DOHC ‘full race’ engine refreshed. Numbered as ‘7B55246-8’ the unit in question remains in situ. Breathing through triple Weber carburettors and incorporating a ‘wide cheek’ crankshaft, Saenz steel conrods and Cosworth pistons, a past dyno sheet records the straight-six as developing 342.8bhp and 317.7lbft of torque. A ‘track legal’ Hayward & Scott stainless steel exhaust was added and the existing rollcage replaced by a more comprehensive one from Custom Cages. The wiring was tidied and a new FIA Historic Technical Passport issued on April 4th 2017. Something of a ‘spare’ during Paul Kennelly’s custodianship, the E-Type had seen comparatively little action by the time that it appeared in Jaguar Land Rover Classic’s ‘Works Legends’ showrooms with a £249,940 asking price. Purchased by the vendor from its original manufacturer during October 2020, the Coupe joined a Bryan Wingfield C-Type, very early Lynx D-Type and Lister ‘Knobbly’ Continuation as part of the Merlin Collection. Finding the Rob Beere engine to be surprisingly tractable if warmed through properly, the seller reconfigured the ‘Semi Lightweight’ E-Type as a fast road car. Sourcing a second set of magnesium peg drive alloys from RS Panels, he treated the two-seater to new Avon tyres all round and had a bespoke ‘space saver’ alloy spare wheel made. Perspex side and rear windows are still fitted but the car is now fully road legal. Boasting a prodigious power to weight ratio (it was previously weighed at just 1104kg), the Jaguar has sufficient performance to embarrass many a modern sportscar sounding epic in the process. Entrusted to marque specialist CMC of Bridgnorth last year for a thorough overhaul of its four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox, ‘BOG 6’ also had its AP Racing clutch renewed. As clean underneath as it is on top, this exceptionally smart ‘Semi Lightweight’ is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, FIA HTP (expires 2027), numerous CKL / Brooklands Motorsport / CMC / RS Panels invoices, MOT certificate valid until May 2025, restoration photos and a second set of magnesium ‘peg drive’ alloy wheels.

Registration No: TTH 9 Chassis No: AN5/16380 MOT: ExemptA 'barn find' having last been taxed for road use in 1987Current family ownership for the last forty-five yearsSubstantially complete (including the correct-type steel bonnet)A worthwhile project with ready parts availabilityIntended as a spiritual successor to pre-WW2 sports cars such as the MG M-type or Austin 7 Nippy, the Austin-Healey Sprite was launched in May 1958. Fruit of the partnership between Donald Healey and Austin's Leonard Lord, its design costs were kept to a minimum through some inspired parts bin raiding. Built around a lightweight monocoque, it utilised the Austin A35's independent front suspension and four-speed gearbox. Powered by a twin-carburettor fed 948cc A-series four-cylinder engine developing some 43bhp/52lbft, it was capable of over 80mph. Put on sale for just £669 rarely before or since has a sports car enjoyed such a large fun-to-price ratio. According to the DVLA and HPi databases, chassis AN5/16380 has been in the current family ownership since August 1979 but off the road for the last thirty-seven years. Now presenting as a ‘barn find’, the Austin-Healey appears substantially complete and comes with a wealth of extra spares including an additional A-Series engine and dashboard etc. Currently painted Blue, the two-seater carries traces of Red paint to its engine bay and an intriguing ‘Peking to Paris’ decal to its nearside door. Pleasingly retaining a correct-type steel bonnet, the Frogeye’s distinctive ‘TTH 9’ number plate which was originally issued in Carmarthenshire is understood to still be ‘live’. A potentially rewarding and hopefully straightforward project. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

"Agassiz was not the first to observe the phenomena of glaciation, but he was innovative in the wide-ranging character of his research, his measurements of ice formations, and his elaboration of local geology into a theory explaining Continental natural history" (D. S. B.). His concept of an "Ice Age" during which glaciers advanced and retreated over a large part of the northern land-mass not only accounted for the area's topography and rock distribution, but gave naturalists such as Darwin and Lyell a means of explaining the geographical distribution and subsequent genetic kinship of species now separated by land or water barriers."
