Territorial Efficiency Medal Awarded 1943. Citation. Sergeant Thwaites has commanded a troop of tanks since October 1942. During this period he has continued to show the greatest skill determination and daring. On 27th March Sergeant Thwaites manoeuvred his own tank forward into position from which he engaged and knocked out a Mark II and Mark IV special within a few minutes of each other. On the 29th March Sergeant Thwaites again manoeuvred his troop into position from where they destroyed an 88mm and two 50mm guns, thereby making it possible to bring up tanks which were ultimately responsible for the taking of the position. Sergeant Thwaites skill and bravery has been of the highest order. Ernest Thwaites enlisted into the Sherwood Rangers TA in 1933 and was fully mobilised in September 1939. The regiment was posted to Palestine and he would have seen action in Crete and in the successful first Siege of Tobruk. He was reported wounded in early 1944 by shrapnel to the temple, resulting in temporary blindness. After the war he worked on the railways and in 1969 moved with his wife to South Africa he died in 2007 at the age of 91.

('Motorsport' May 2006 issue "Array of Sunbeams" article states "A spare car with the same body and bolster fuel tank as the other 1914 cars, as it might have had to be nominated for the race, was taken to the IoM. Two months before, one of the cars was sent to Brooklands for tests, driven by LG Hornsted and CD Day, Sunbeam’s subsequent production manager."); plus image of racing cars on ferry with one car about to be unloaded, presumably Douglas IoM, these images of IoM TT mainly approx. 8 x 13cm; 13 photographs of luxury/racing cars of the period, some with the compiler of the album seated, including series of 4 images of a Darracq c.1910, number plate BHH1, three of which with the compiler of the album posing seated within, pencil note to card leaf of album "Self & the 20 Darracq", each image approx. 10 x 16cm, another image with pencil caption above "Algy & Bill in 1913 GP Sunbeam after conversion", depicting Algernon Lee Guinness and 1 other in Sunbeam car, approx. 8.5 x 13.5cm, 8 other images various cars of the period, one with pencil caption beside "Father's 25 Darracq", others captioned "Metallurgique", "Charles Cotton", "100 x 160 Brooklands", etc; 8 contemporary postcards of grand prix motor racing, including one depicting K. Lee Guinness and signed by him in black ink "Kenelm", the image of him in his Sunbeam at the Circuit de Picardie, Grand Prix de l'A.C.F. 1913, another of Dario Resta in his sunbeam at same Grand Prix, signed in pencil "Yours Dario Resta" (slightly faint), plus postcard Caillois in his Sunbeam French Grand Prix 1913, 3 postcards 1908 French Grand Prix, two colour art postcards motor racing of the period; 3 other photographs motor racing of the period, appears to be the 1913 French Grand Prix, Circuit de Picardie, Amiens, 12th July, as one image showing the No.19 Sunbeam car crashed at foot of short steep hill in a river, with a group of spectators and people surrounding the car and nearby - Kenelm Lee Guinness drove the No.19 Sunbeam car in this race and is stated as having retired after 15 laps, having crashed into a river, a spectator was killed in this accident, the two other images, presumably the same Grand Prix, of Dario Resta in his Sunbeam, and cars and mechanics working in pit enclosure, all approx. 9 x 13.5cm; the motor racing material in album preceded by 76 further contemporary photographs of Ceylon and many of the corresponding sea voyage, mounted folding menu of SS Warwickshire, September 27th, 1912, containing several pencil signatures, several of photos of people on board the ship playing family games on deck, posing etc. Oblong contemporary cloth album, approx 25 x 30cm. Louis Coatalen's oustanding light car designs and other technological innovations made Sunbeam highly competitive during this period, even against the large Grand Prix cars of the period with engines three and five times the capacity of the Sunbeam. Wins included the legendary success at the 1912 Coupe de l’Auto to winning the 1914 and 1922 Tourist Trophy and 1923 and 1924 Grand Prix. Coatalen designed the 1914 Isle of Man TT cars with four-cylinder 3.2-litre twin-cam 16-valve engines, with which Kenelm Lee Guinness was to win that two-day 600-mile race over the punishing Manx mountain course, involving driving for 10hr 37min 49sec. Dario Resta’s car broke a big-end bolt on the first lap and Algy Guinness’s Sunbeam, after being in a secure second place on day two, retired when a propellor-shaft joint seized. But KLG had vanquished two sleeve-valve Minervas and three other cars, out of 22 starters, to win at 56.44mph. His fastest lap was 59.3mph, an indication of how difficult was the IoM course. (In the 1922 TT over the same course Jean Chassagne in an eight-cylinder Sunbeam averaged 55.78mph in the now one-day race, but in rain.) The fourth unnumbered Sunbeam car MN 525 driven by LG Hornsted must have also participated in the race, as evidenced by the photograph in the album of it in action chasing down the Vauxhall of WJ Watson. All four Sunbeams were driven from Wolverhampton to the Fort Ann hotel in the IoM. They wore number plates MN 523 to MN 526, these apparently being trade plates, indicating that Coatalen disdained paying tax on cars intended to uphold British prestige. The three main Sunbeam cars that competed in the 1914 IoM TT (MN 523, 524 & 526, race numbers 4 for KLG, 15 for Resta and 21 for Sir Algernon), are miraculously all still intact (see Motorsport Magazine online article May 2006, 88, Array of Sunbeams).

Lot 187
Works Sunbeam AlpineTwo time Le Mans competitorFIA HTP papers valid until 2026The Sunbeam Alpine is a plucky little British sports car that was produced by the Rootes Group from 1953 to 1955 and then again from 1959 to 1968. It quickly gained popularity, especially in the United States as it was offered as a two-seater convertible or roadster. It went through several different series and models during its production run, with various engine options and design changes, but importantly, it became a properly impressive competition car. A real David amongst Goliaths.9201 RW is one of the three Sunbeam Alpines built by the Rootes Competition Department for the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans race. It was the first of the three cars to be completed and took part in the pre-race test day in April 1962, where it was driven by Peter Harper, lapping the Circuit de la Sarthe in just five minutes 8.6 seconds - some 12 seconds per lap faster than had been managed by either of the Alpines in practice for the previous year's race.Both 9201 RW and 9202 RW were equipped with a 1,592cc inline-four-cylinder engine known as the 'Rapier 1725' engine, derived from the standard Sunbeam Rapier engine found in the road-going Sunbeam Alpine. Initially generating approximately 83bhp, this figure proved somewhat conservative, especially after Brabham's team worked their magic in preparation for the 1963 race.9201 RW was a reserve entry for the 1962 race and, whilst it was unable to start, it took part later in the year in the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood, piloted by Peter Harper, where it was the fastest of the three Alpines in the race, finishing in 12th place overall and sixth in class.With competition in motorsport continually evolving and intensifying, the Rootes engineering team realized that more significant modifications were imperative for the Alpine's prospects at Le Mans. In preparation for the 1963 campaign, weight needed to be shed and more power had to be harnessed. The most notable changes revolved around the engine compartment. Jack Brabham's organisation prepared the engines, lightening and polishing crankshafts, lightening pushrods, and replacing Zenith carburettors with 40 DCOE Webers, while increasing the compression ratio to 12.5:1. These modifications, along with further lightening of the body, had the desired effect as far as speed was concerned, but at the expense of reliability.Two of the 1962 cars were retained by the factory team and entered for the 1963 Le Mans race. 9201 RW was driven by Peter Harper and Peter Procter (race number 33), while Keith Ballisat and 'Tiny' Lewis took the reins of 9202 RW (race number 32). The Harper/Procter car retired after 13 hours with a blown head gasket, whereas the Ballisat/Lewis car made it to hour 19, until it broke its crank while leading the under 2-litre class. As well as the Le Mans races, both 9201 RW and 9202 RW were used on a number of rallies, including the Monte Carlo, RAC, Tulip and Tour de France.During the tenure of its previous owner, from 1988 to 2015, 9201 RW received an extensive yet very careful restoration to then enjoy a second racing career, retaining its original 'Works' colours, registration number and 1963 Le Mans specification, albeit with a milder compression ratio to increase reliability. Unsurprisingly, its second wind of racing was significantly busier than its original career with the Rootes works team, including taking part in several Le Mans Classic races as well as appearances at the Goodwood Revival - on one occasion being driven by former Rootes works driver Peter Procter. When the car was stripped for restoration, numerous period modifications were found still to be intact, and were thankfully retained including the alloy panels, original Microcell seats, dual electrics, and BR front disc brakes.This well-preserved car, accompanied by current FIA HTP papers valid until 2026, is eligible for a wide array of events worldwide. Whether you choose to embark on long-distance HERO rallies or vigorously compete at Le Mans and Goodwood, it offers an underrated but exceptional slice of British racing history, steeped in decades of experience and captured through a multitude of period photos spanning decades. We are informed it not only runs and drives well but races even better, making it an excellent choice for global competition. All these remarkable qualities make this car an enticing addition to the world of historic racing.

Lot 188
Fantastic restoration opportunityDesirable 2/4 seater exampleWith more short chassis cars than tourers being produced in 1929, the efforts of the Aston Martin Works were clearly going towards the sports end of the market. By the end of the year the ‘Standard Sports Model’ had developed into the ‘Four-seater "International" Sports Model’, more commonly known simply as the "International". It was quickly and widely regarded as one of the best light sports cars of the day. The appearance of the cars at Brooklands racetrack and in rallies, sprints and hill climbs all around the country alongside the works team cars, increased the cars’ sporting reputation. The "International" was expensive but performance was good enough for the motoring press to praise the car highly. A significant amount of advertising was placed in the popular motoring press highlighting competition successes.The four-seater "International" Sports was built on the short chassis, most of the first series cars were bodied by E. Bertelli Ltd. The standard "International" coachwork was a slightly perpendicular open 2/4-seater, with minimal space in the back for passengers. It was characterized by a rather high profile stemming from a tall ‘wet case’ radiator (the shell forming the water tank) which was further emphasized by the 21" wheels. The fuel tank was enclosed beneath the rear of the body and the spare wheel bracketed on to the body at the extreme rear. The exhaust system was taken from the cylinder head in a simple manifold with the downpipe going down inside the bonnet to the tail pipe and exhaust box below the car. The windscreen folded forward from the base, not flat onto the scuttle (with the exception of the "International Le Mans" model).The engine, a Renwick & Bertelli designed overhead camshaft four-cylinder eight valve engine with dry sump as per the ‘Standard Sports Model’ had a power output approximately 60 bhp at 4,750 rpm. With twin SU 1â…›" side draught carburettor, Magneto ignition and two ‘Autopulse’ fuel pumps mounted on the rear of the chassis. Aston Martin designed a 4-speed crash gearbox with straight cut gears, constant mesh main shaft and layshaft, dog clutch fourth speed and reverse. Performance was brisk! approximately 80 mph and the price new in 1932 was circa £595.Originally purchased and registered in April 1931 to a W.H. Birmingham of Pyford near Woking, Surrey, this International 2/4-S passed to Viscount Curzon (later sixth Earl Howe) who was a known racing driver and Vice-Chairman of the Royal Automobile Club, director of Automobile Proprietary Ltd., Motoring Services Ltd., and a member of the RAC Public Policy Committee, the British Motor Sport Council. AMOC records show that GO 825 was never raced and thus presumably used on the road by the Viscount.In 1950 AMOC records show that a Mr R.G. Phillips in Cardiff owned GO 825 before the buff logbook shows Mr Gregory purchased it in Wimbledon in July 1952. Later Mr Norman and Mr Todd both owned the car in 1957, both residing in Surrey before Todd sold it to PO W.P. Dymund of RAF Debdon, however he also owned the car for less than a year before our vendors father Dr N. Powers of Cambridge purchased the car. He eventually moved to Binstead on the Isle of White with the car and has owned until his passing recently.The 1931 Registration document lists the car as cream with maroon but in 1957 the colour changed to green, the colour still found on the body today. The car has been in the Powers family for 65 years and his daughter had hoped to restore it with her father. The car, even in its current state will be missed by the family but unfortunately, they are unable to undertake the restoration themselves. An open bodied sports car in 2/4 configuration as denoted in the AMOC records. The original books and the International information are also available as collected by Dr Powers over his ownership.When Dr Powers passed away, the car was in two separate locations, but it has now been bought together and catalogued as you can see on the Historics website. The car is believed to be a fairly complete but requiring full and detailed restoration. The chassis number can be found stamped on the chassis but sadly the original chassis plate is not present. The items will all be at the auction location for collection with a selection of parts on display, with a pull photo catalogue reflecting that of the website to ascertain what is included in the sale.Included with the Lot are AMOC documents from the car’s early history and photos of the car in its original state, Buff logbooks and some later invoices from Dr Powers Tenure. A fantastic and unique opportunity to own and restore an Aston Martin International with known history from new.
