Registration - PJI 6757 Chassis No. - SCBZS0007HCH21188 M.O.T. - March 2025 Odometer - 124,000 ‘PJI6757’ hails from 1987, the first model year of the “S” variant. The “S” carried through many enhancements from the range topping Turbo R, to give the Mulsanne a mid-life glow-up. ‘PJI6757’ showcases these, including the alloy wheels, interior upgrades and sportier handling courtesy of stiffer suspension. ‘PJI6757’ has covered 131,226 miles to date which is moderate for a 37-year old car with what Bentley described as “unstressed” mechanicals. Offered here with NO RESERVE. The current MOT is valid until March 2025 to allow for immediate, elegant wafting by the next owner. ‘PJI6757’ holds a category N – non-structural – insurance marker from 2018. Given the regal nature of ‘PJI6757,’ its Georgian Silver livery seems highly appropriate. Whilst ostensibly a rebadged Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit on the SZ platform, ‘PJI6757’ offers plenty of Bentley specific differentiators. First there is big, matrix meshed radiator cowl complete with “flying B” emblem. The 15-inch, “S” specific alloy wheels with big “B” inscribed centre plates also catch the eye, shod as they are with deep 70 profile tyres with subtle white-wall details. The paint and bodywork are rated “average” by the vendor with the bulk of the imperfections being located around the sills and wheel arches. ‘PJI6757’ seems to have been well cared for mechanically, throughout its life. Its mechanical provenance includes a new engine at around 34,500 miles, a conversion to unleaded fuel friendly valve seats in 1991 and a new gearbox and torque converter at 80,000 miles in 1995. The spacious, leather clad, Oyster hued cabin seems to have lost none of its “special occasion” grandeur for which the marque is known. Just the right level of patina appears to grace the commodious and well padded seats and accompanying contrasting piping. Deep lambswool rugs are present, except for the driver’s footwell where it is noted that the carpet is worn through in places. Surely this represents an enticing opportunity to acquire an honest and delightful Bentley at a merest fraction of its original £90,000 plus cost. In summary: · An honest and original example of the enhanced Mulsanne S model · In a very regal and Bentley appropriate colourway

CRAIGELLACHIE 1973 22 YEAR OLD RARE MALTS SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1972Bottle Number: 286060.2% ABV / 70cl Craigellachie is another distillery that actively encourages sulphurous notes in its spirit by minimising copper contact during the distillation process. This is balanced by a long fermentation beforehand, allowing tropical fruit notes to emerge. Much like fellow Speysiders Mortlach, Benrinnes and Cragganmore, this makes it highly sought after by blenders. In 2014 the brand was relaunched as a single malt, and several of their expressions have won industry awards. Some creases on label and box. Fill level lower neck. Please see additional pictures.
Lot 161
GLENMORANGIE 1971 CULLODEN VINTAGE HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1971Bottled: 25/10/1995Bottle Number: 212343% ABV / 70cl Famous for their unique stills, each as tall as an adult giraffe, and their passion for innovation, Glenmorangie remains one of the best-selling single malts in the world. They were one of the first distilleries to experiment with cask finishing; the process of transferring spirit from one cask type to another in order to impart additional characteristics and flavours. To further this agenda of innovation, in September of 2021 Glenmorangie began production at their new “Lighthouse” facility, a futuristic R&D department protruding from the heart of their traditional distillery complex like a monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Off limits to the public, it is home to a “sensory lab” as well as two of Glenmorangie’s signature stills, each of which plays host to several classified modifications. Only time will tell what exciting innovations will filter down to the rest of the industry. Bottle and box are both in good condition. Fill level mid-shoulder. Please see additional pictures

NAGO FIGURE, REPUBLIC OF BENINbocio wood, rope, locks, keys, metal, feathers, clay, sacrificial patinaHeight 23 cmProvenanceAnne & Jacques Kerchache, ParisLiteratureKerchache, J. et al., Vaudou, Paris, 2011, p.136, p.203, fig.2, and p.226, fig.15ExhibitedParis, Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, Vaudou, Paris, 5 April - 25 September 2011Footnotes:'For Primitive Art and notably for Vodun, there is only one person, and that is Jacques Kerchache' André MalrauxKerchache first visited Bénin (then Dahomey) in the 1960s where he met Vodun priests and was initiated into its cults. He started to form what would become an unprecedented collection. This lifetime's passion was exhibited at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in 2011, as Kerchache himself had requested before his death in 2001. In Kerchache's own words: 'A 'fetish' is a sacred object which embodies the spirit or the force of a god, It is not, strictly speaking, a representation or a portrait of the god, but rather an object that is a receptacle of the god's power.''The practice of Vodun has always been confined to an intellectual elite. Its objects or fetishes can only act once they have been rendered sacred. They are the material signs of divine affirmation and their longevity depends on their use.''Picasso never knew the art of Vodun and yet there are astonishing affinities between his artwork and the works of these committed artists, works that are provocative on an aesthetic as well as a magical level. The contemporary artists that have come into contact with such art have quite naturally been fascinated by the extraordinary questions they raise. Vodun art contains all of these things at once: a constant connection between the aesthetic and the sacred, the perfect creation of a sort of three-dimensional ideogram taken to its extreme, an art of subversion in which everything signifies, a process that is surprisingly modern and highly inventive, an experimentation in form, as well as a stab at humour on an aesthetic level.' 'At the head of the Dahomean pantheon is Mawu, the supreme god, who is surrounded by adjunct gods grouped together in a sometimes hierarchical pantheon. The great nature gods are accompanied by an entire spectrum of deified beings: clan ancestors, monsters, the aborted foetuses of royal families, the gods of conquered tribes that have been incorporated or even purchased, such as the serpent of Ouidah.''In addition to this collective aspect, Vodun may also be used for individual aggressive or defensive purposes, as a means of neutralizing or protecting oneself from an adversary.''The vodun are protectors of property: enclosures surrounded by palm branches, objects topped with a small mound of sand, knotted grasses are clear signs that touching any of these objects will anger the vodun who has been called upon to watch over them. They also protect the villages from devastating plagues. During purification ceremonies that are held once a year, devotees take part in huge processions that travel across the land to symbolically drive away potential diseases.'
