Pedestrianism.- Wilson (George) A Sketch of the Life of George Wilson, the Blackheath Pedestrian; Who Undertook to Walk One Thousand Miles in Twenty Days!...Written by Himself, engraved portrait frontispiece, tissue-guard, contemporary ink gift inscription to head of title (small loss to upper corner), some leaves with fraying to margins or roughly opened, particularly first few ff., occasional light soiling, heavier to frontispiece verso, modern paper wrappers, uncut and partly unopened, for the Author, by Hay and Turner, 1815 § [Thom (Walter)] Pedestrianism; or, an Account of the Performances of celebrated Pedestrians...with a Full Narrative of Captain Barclay's Public and Private Matches, first edition, engraved portrait frontispiece, armorial bookplate of George Barclay, contemporary calf, sympathetically rebacked, corners repaired, rubbed with some wear to extremities, Aberdeen, D. Chalmers and Co., 1813, some very light spotting or browning; and another on Captain Barclay with hand-coloured frontispiece, 8vo (3) *** Pedestrianism became a popular spectator sport in 19th century Britain, with Wilson one of the most successful pedestrians of his day. In 1814, while in debtor’s prison, he walked 50 miles in the prison yard in 12 hours, earning a small prize. He continued his competitive pedestrianism after his release in prison, and in 1822 attempted to walk 1,000 miles in 20 days. Although he only completed 750 miles, this was still a significant achievement. A limited number of printed catalogues are available to purchase for this auction.

1961 Ducati 175TS Registration Number: 130 XVC Frame Number: MD 53622MD - Restored, matching engine/frame Designed by Fabio Taglioni, the first Ducati overhead-camshaft single - the 100 Gran Sport - appeared on the racetrack in 1954 and soon proved unbeatable in its class. Taglioni’s versatile design proved capable of considerable enlargement, being produced in various capacities from the original 98cc up to 450cc. The 175cc class was popular in Continental Europe and Ducati’s first offerings in that category appeared towards the end of the 1950s. A pair of 175cc roadsters was introduced for the 1956 season, the Sport version of which (known as the ‘Silverstone’ in the UK) was capable of more than 80mph in road trim and close to the ‘ton’ when stripped for racing, an astonishing achievement at the time and one that helped establish the giant killing reputation long enjoyed by Ducati’s miniature masterpieces. Alongside it Ducati offered the 175 T (Turismo), which was made in a lower state of tune and became the TS (Turismo Speciale) for 1958. Manufactured for only a few seasons, these 175cc tourers are today quite rare. Manufactured 1961, this wonderful example was imported from Spain in 2016. Nicely restored, the Ducati still retained its matching numbers engine and frame. This super looking bike has been finished to a high standard, and unused since restoration. Starting and running very nicely, this beautiful classic Ducati is offered for sale with V5C and catalogue of parts used in the restoration.

1952 Gilera 150 Lusso Registration Number: XXG 411 Frame Number: 184234 Engine Number: 191557 - Now eligible for the Motogiro d'Italia - Restored by Italian specialist, rare model Motogiro d 'Italia is the historical re-enactment of the oldest and most prestigious Italian motorcycle race in stages. Born in 1914 In the early 50s, new regulations in Italy allowed access to motorways for motorcycles with a minimum capacity of 150cc, so Gilera upgraded its 125 to 150cc. The 150 presented in 1952 became Gilera’s best selling motorcycle, ever with 96,000 units produced. The 150 was what the public wanted, and Gilera responded with the introduction of the Gran Turismo in 1955, followed by the Super Sport and Super Red in 1957. This lovely example was lovingly restored by an Italian bike specialist, more recently being UK road registered, and so is ready to be enjoyed on British roads. The vendor advises us the bike is now eligible for Motogiro d'Italia, "Ride The Legend", the historical re-enactment of the oldest and most prestigious Italian motorcycle race.

2004 Honda CRF-50 Registration Number: N/A The Honda CRF-50 is the bike that made Honda a go-to choice for first-time riders, creating a generation of dirt bikers who started on these small, but mighty machines.

1990 Ducati Paso 906 Registration Number: H665 VGT Frame Number: ZDM906PC-001543 Engine Number: 001445 - Very rare example in the UK Introduced in 1986, the Ducati Paso 750 was a bold departure for the Bologna-based manufacturer, featuring fully enclosed bodywork and a radical design by Massimo Tamburini. Named in tribute to Ducati factory racer Renzo "Paso" Pasolini, who tragically lost his life at Monza in 1973, the Paso was Ducati’s vision for the future of sport touring. It launched with the slogan "Il nostro passato ha un grande futuro" (Our past has a great future). By 1989, Ducati had refined the concept with the Paso 906—technically a 904cc machine, though Tamburini preferred the symmetry of "906" for the name. It retained much of the 750’s underpinnings, including its 16-inch wheels and Weber 44 DCNF twin-choke carburettor—borrowed from a Fiat 128 and notorious for its tuning challenges. Improvements included a move to liquid cooling and a power increase from 73 bhp to 88 bhp, yet production remained limited, with only 1,802 examples built before the model was discontinued in 1990. The majority of Paso 906s were destined for North America, with just 300 officially imported into the UK. Online records suggest that only a single example remains road-registered today, making this a rare sight on British roads. Chassis #1,573 of 1,802, this example, H665 VGT, was first registered in the UK on 1st January 1990 and currently displays 24,507 miles. It has recently undergone a light recommissioning after a period in dry storage, including an oil change, air filter service, new spark plugs, ultrasonic carburettor cleaning, new fork seals, brake servicing, fresh hydraulic fluids, coolant replacement, new timing belts and tyres. No time or expense has been spared in recent years to keep this Italian thoroughbred running beautifully. Very rare to come to market, and offered at No Reserve to the highest bid on the day.This Paso 906 presents a unique opportunity to acquire a distinctive model from Ducati’s experimental era—one that remains as striking today as it was in 1990.
Lot 626
Offered from the estate of the late Jim Graham, a beautifully presented, first generation, GT3 RS with just 550 miles from new. From two years in storage but will have a fresh MOT by the time of the sale. When it was launched in 2015, Porsche's 991 GT3 RS moved the Rennsport game on substantially from its predecessors. Equipped with a 4-litre flat-six producing 500bhp in a body that developed more than double the downforce of the 997 GT3 RS 4.0, the 991 boasted rear-axle steering, a 7-speed PDK gearbox and huge 21" rear wheels borrowed from the 918 Spyder.It featured unique front bumper louvres, rear side-quarter intakes and a large adjustable rear wing. Lightweight materials such as carbon fibre were used for the bumpers, engine cover and bonnet and the roof was magnesium in an effort to render the GT3 RS as svelte as possible, not entirely successful as the result was the biggest, widest and heaviest RS ever, but that didn't matter. The car was quicker, faster and more efficient than ever too, with a Ring lap time of seven minutes 20 seconds, confirming its status as the most accomplished RS ever and about as close to a 'Cup' car as you were ever going to find.The GT3 RS is rocket ship quick, with 8,250rpm in second gear providing 73mph and the same in third propelling you to a licence-departing 102mph, very impressive, particularly with four more gears to go. Realistically, this is a 'racer' for the road but anyone in the market for a 991 GT3 RS will be fully aware of this.Distinctively finished in Ultra Violet over Black/Silver Grey leather, this 2016 (M/Y), C16, right-hand drive 991 GT3 RS was supplied to Porsche Centre Dublin in October 2015 and was purchased by its second owner, our vendor, through Porsche Centre Nottingham in November 2016. There is a four-page spec sheet with the car, far too long to list here, but the key options include the 'Clubsport Package' which consists of a bolt-in half roll cage, racing bucket seats, cockpit-mounted fire extinguisher, 6-point harnesses, larger rear spoiler, front wing louvres, rear-axle steering, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus and a fully variable rear limited-slip differential. Other options from new include a tilt/slide sunroof, front axle lift, cruise-control, Sport Chrono Package +, PCM 3 and more.It's obviously accompanied by the entire dealer pack, keys etc. and the service record displays a service stamp from Porsche Centre Solihull in June 2022 at 507 miles. The last MOT expired in June 2023 but the car will be freshly tested before the Sale.This fabulous 911 has always been kept in dehumidified storage in current ownership but has been unused for the past few years because of ill health. Offered in 'as new' condition and estimated very sensibly. You have probably always wanted one and now may be the time.Specification Make: PORSCHE Model: 911 Year: 2015 Chassis Number: WPOZZZ99ZGS188374 Registration Number: SP65 FUG Transmission: Auto Engine Number: MA176 GO1840 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 550 MilesClick here for more details and images

**SALEROOM NOTICE - Please note in order to register the car a BMW dating certificate is required, which has already been applied for and will follow post-sale** Well presented example of the ever-desirable E30 M3, arriving from a faraway land. The pedigree of the original E30 M3 is evident from the first glance, all the way from its race-bred four-cylinder engine (designed to rev past 9,000rpm in race form) and dog-leg, 5-speed gearbox to those bulging yet square rear arches created not to look cool on the Kings Road, but to accept slick tyres of up to 10" in width. It has a design purity and simplicity of specification that hardly any modern car and certainly not a new M3 could hope to match. Admittedly today's M3 has over double the power but it isn't all about bhp. To really understand the ethos of the M3 you need to get behind the wheel and drive one and really drive one. Get hold of it by the scruff of the neck and give it the 'Full Monty' and you'll be approaching automotive nirvana. Today the E30 M3, in any of its iterations, is a wonderful device, but it's the way the car handles, combining brilliantly crisp turn-in with unlikely stability and poise, truly putting you in the seat of a car that despite its short production life won a dozen Touring Car Championships across the globe and made it, without doubt, one of BMWs finest cars ever.Offered here is a well presented and maintained 1987 E30 M3 that is the first car we have ever consigned from sunny Barbados. The car was supplied new in Atlanta, Georgia and lightly used by its US-owner who brought it with him when he moved to Barbados in 2005, licensed it there and used it occasionally as a show car. In 2014, its next owner apparently didn't need it for transport either so took it off the road and polished it a lot. In 2022 our vendor, a lifelong BMW enthusiast, purchased the BMW and set about bringing the car up to his high standards, fitting all new service items and replacing some non-M3 parts with new original parts from BMW. The car was then sent to specialist engine and transmission mechanics to go over it thoroughly and once again it was hardly used, prompting the realisation that the car was simply not getting enough use to warrant keeping it, so it has been shipped to the UK for us to bring to market.Originally finished in Diamond Schwarz, the car has been resprayed Brilliant Red with the original Anthracite Uberkaro Grey Sport fabric interior being changed to quilted leather, and the odometer, at the time of cataloguing, was showing 134,000 miles.This is a lovely car that has clearly been looked after with a fascinating story. With prices for E30 M3s skyrocketing in recent years, this realistically estimated example could be a great entry into the fun world of E30 M3 ownership.Please note that if the car remains in the UK there will be 5% Import Duty to pay on the hammer price and a NOVA fee of £75. The vehicle has been brought into the UK on a temporary admission. If the vehicle is not remaining in the UK a temporary admission fee of £150 per month will be due until proof of export has been provided.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: E30 M3Year: 1987Chassis Number: VBSAK0306J2195678Registration Number: NOT UK-REGISTEREDTransmission: ManualEngine Number: VBSAK0306J2195678Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 134000 KMMake: Only LHDInterior Colour: Grey ClothClick here for more details and images

Not to be confused with Jaguar-Sport, the JaguarSport XJR S was a unique, 6-litre XJR developed jointly by Jaguar and TWR. Only 115 right-hand drive cars were built and this is undoubtedly one of the best. One of the rarest of all XJS, the XJR S was a special development by JaguarSport, a conjunction between Jaguar and Tom Walkinshaw’s TWR. Owned 50/50 by both parties, JaguarSport was launched in 1988 and planned to produce the epitome of all things Jaguar. With the XJR S, they certainly achieved that. Hand-built at JaguarSport in Kidlington by the TWR engineers who had worked on the XJ220. With the focus of the car not just being upon the unique engine fitted to those cars made post 1989, the chassis was developed to ensure this was the most competent it could be to handle the 160mph top speed from its V12 engine. Compared favourably to Italian and German competitors of the time, the work between Jaguar and TWR certainly ensured these of all XJS are the most sought after.The JaguarSport XJR S may have looked similar to their production counterparts, but differed immensely with many parts unique to the model and of course, its 6-litre V12 engine. The engine was rated at 318bhp and was 700cc larger than the previous 5.3-litre V12. A modified intake system, Zytek engine management and a low-loss true dual exhaust system were part of the car’s advanced specification. The Hydramatic GM400 was modified with different 'changing points' to better suit the 6-litre car and a Salisbury limited-slip differential was standard. The suspension was further-developed by TWR with increased coil spring rates and the Bilstein shocks, front and rear, were specially tuned for the XJR S.Externally, the cars were modified with a subtly aggressive body kit, 16" 'Speedline' aerodynamic wheels and a host of modifications inside included a bespoke Connolly Autolux leather interior and the steering wheel was made for JaguarSport by Momo of Milan. They were normally built to order, with cars being transported from Browns Lane to Kidlington to be hand-finished. At £45,500, it was £11,000 more than the 5.3 which explains why a little over 500 were made (115 in right-hand drive) before production stopped in 1993, making them highly sought after today.This low ownership, very low-mileage example is accompanied by an excellent history file, detailing services from delivery in 1993 until 2005 with just a few periods of inactivity until the odometer had reached 23,000 miles approximately. It has covered very few miles since that point, indeed only showing a touch over 29,800 miles at the time of cataloguing, having formed part of a large private Collection for the last few years.Sold by us two years ago from seven years of second ownership, it's supplied with its original book pack, tool roll and more as well as a history file detailing relatively recent expenditure including brake pipe replacement, a power-steering refresh and some interior cosmetic work to ensure that the car remains at its best. With a fresh MOT and at an estimate that can only be described as sensible given the results for some recent XJS sales, this very special car is offered for sale purely due to our vendor’s advancing years and is sure to create interest from collectors of the very best Jaguars.Specification Make: JAGUAR Model: XJS COUPÉ Year: 1993 Chassis Number: SAJJSAES3EK185754 Registration Number: K615 GOO Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: 8W010745SB Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 29580 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Magnolia LeatherClick here for more details and images
