Flemish School. 16th century.‘Mary as the Gateway to Heaven. Allegory of the examination of conscience to achieve a Good Death’.Oil on panel. Accompanied by an imposing carved and gilded wooden frame.92 x 70 cm.Magnificent panel depicting the final moment of a human being lying in the centre of the bottom of the composition, taking stock of his good and bad deeds, the examination of conscience of his life; a prayerful reflection on his thoughts, words and actions in the light of the Gospel to determine how he may have sinned against God and others. The artist must have been familiar with the theology of the time, as taught by St. Ignatius of Loyola in his Spiritual Exercises, which taught: ‘at the end of the day, at the time of going to rest’ ‘to make a daily peaceful reflection on all that has happened [...] to find God in all things [...] even in those where God had apparently hidden himself’. 'The human conscience imagines its life at the ‘hour of eternal rest’. The painter places Mary, the Gate of Heaven, at the centre, as the Mother of Mercy who always awaits with open hands on her heart. In Glory,  the Holy Trinity awaits, God the reigning Father, the Suffering Son and the Holy Spirit who flies over everything and everyone. When contemplating this work, we see three differentiated levels, in which numbered phylacteries fly, like speech bubbles, which arrange the conversation. Above in the sky: Son (11) ‘PATER RESPICE VULNERA MEA...’ (‘Father, remember my wounds...’). And he also addresses his mother (14): ‘MATER MEA, FIAT TIBI SICUT VIS’ (‘My mother, let it be done as you will’). God the Father (12) ‘VENIT TEMPUS MISEREN DIEORUM’ (‘The hour has come for the miserable days’).The Father, who addresses the Virgin and calls her Daughter: ‘FILIA FIAT TIBI SICUT VIS’ (‘Daughter, be it done as you will’). And the third from heaven is the Dove or Holy Spirit (1) ‘SPONSA FIAT TIBI SICUT VIS’ (‘Bride, be it as thou wilt’). On the second level, horizontally speaking, and in the centre, the Virgin responds with three phylacteries (8): ‘PATER RESPICIE IN FACIEM CHRISTI’ (‘Father receive and look at the face of Christ’), (9) ‘FILI ASPICE UBERA QUAE TE LACTAVERUNT’ (‘Son, look at the breasts that suckled you’), and (10) ‘S. Se. DEUS ECCE QUOS AMAS INFIRMANTUR‘ (’God, Holy among the Saints, strengthen those you love"). The angels on the left, over which he prays: ‘PER HANC NOS AD DEUM’ (‘Through these, we go to God’), ask their Queen (7): ‘IUUA PUSILLANIMES, MARIA ANGELORUM REGINA’ (‘Mary, Queen of Angels, look upon the fainthearted youth’). On the right are saints and the Church: Saints Peter and Paul, Popes and Holy Fathers, and Saint Peter the Martyr, among others. Above them: ‘PER HANC DEUS AD NOS’ (‘Through these, God goes to us’), and they respond to their Mother: ‘SU COURE MISERIS SANCTORUM MATER’ (‘Merciful Mother of Saints, attend this tribunal with your heart’). On the earthly level, rests the conscience, lying in the form of a sick human being, who speaks to the Virgin (2): ‘MARIA, TU AB HOSTES PROTEGE ET HORA MORTIS SUSCIPE’ (‘Mary, protect yourself from the enemy and listen to the hour of death’). To which she replies from heaven (16): ‘CONFIDITE FILII, EXAUDITE EST ORATIO NOSTRA’. (‘Son of trust, hear our prayer’). And St. Michael the Archangel, who is named, brandishes his sword over the devil, and says to him (17): ‘IMPERET TIBI DEUS’ (‘God will annihilate you’). And that devil, who is leaning over the recumbent, says (1): ‘PECCAMUSTIS NON SPERETIS VENIAM’ (‘You must sin, do not expect forgiveness’). To the left of the couch, is an angel looking up and praying (5): ‘OCURRITE ANGELI DOMINI’ (‘Angels of the Lord, come’). To the left of his wing we read ‘STOS’ (‘he who remains standing’). To the right of the sick man Saint John the Evangelist (‘PROTECTOR’, behind him, above the shield) cries out: ‘SUB VENITE SANCTI DEI’ (‘Saints of God, come to him’). Two saints pray with the sick man, a Carmelite and an Augustinian, behind whom ‘death breathes, symbolised by the caravel waiting patiently with its shining dart’. The sick man communicates that he has had only one thought, of the fear of God (‘TIMOR DEI’), his whole life rests on the theological virtues, Faith, Hope and Charity (pillows), rests on his good works, thoughts and words (‘BONAE OPERA, BONAE COGITATIONIS, BONAE LOQUTIONES’), and rests on the cardinal virtues (legs of the bed) Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance. The devil, who stalks the dying man, sticks out from under his bed, which raised on a platform covered with a valance: ‘CONFUNDANTUR QUI ME PERSEQUNTUR ET NON CONFUNDAR’ (‘Those who persecute me will be confused, and they will not confuse me’); while the dying man prays and speaks to all: ‘MISEREMINI NOSTRI SALTEM VOS, AMICI NOSTRI’ (‘At least, you, our friends, have mercy on us’). All this theological life ‘has a face, an owner, a face, a family’, represented by the heraldic shield on the right of the evangelist and beloved disciple, either the person who commissioned the work or its painter. A shield in gold, gules and black with a heart surmounted by the Holy Cross of Jerusalem with initials B, E, P, O.Finally, we should note that an almost exactly similar panel, although not so dark in the background colour, with more light, with the same iconography, perhaps also by the same artist, is in the Pilgrimage Museum in Santiago de Compostela.

This exquisite Sasanian agate stamp, skillfully carved with a bust of a dignitary, is a remarkable artifact from the ancient Persian Empire. The stamp, made from a beautifully polished red-orange agate, features a finely detailed engraving of a noble figure, showcasing the characteristic attire and regal bearing typical of Sasanian royalty or high-ranking officials. The reverse side of the stamp bears an inscription in Pahlavi, the Middle Persian script used during the Sasanian era, possibly identifying the individual depicted or offering a message of power and authority. The agate’s vibrant color and translucency add to the visual appeal of this piece, making it not only a functional object but also a work of art. Such stamps were used to seal documents and items of importance, symbolizing the identity and authority of the owner. The craftsmanship evident in this piece reflects the high level of artistry and the importance of personalized seals in Sasanian culture. H: 1.7cm  

Registration No: G111 RDM Chassis No: WAUZZZ8AZLA158710 MOT: June 2025Rare Audi 90 luxury Saloon in striking Pearlescent WhiteAir conditioning and electric sunroofPreviously stored by a collector for 8-9 yearsIn September 1986, Audi released a new Typ 89 Audi 80 for the 1987 model year on the European market and introduced it elsewhere within a year. It introduced a new aerodynamic look and a fully zinc-coated galvanised bodyshell. In 1987, the Audi 90 was reintroduced as an upmarket, more luxurious variant of the 80. To begin with it would again feature a choice of 10-valve inline five-cylinder petrol engines, and could be specified with or without quattro. The 90 differs visually from the 80 by a full width tail-light panel; headlights that featured additional high-beam lights and a slightly different front grille. Indicator lamps were moved from beside the headlights to the bumpers next to the fog lights, which were standard fitment on the 90. Brightwork surrounds for the windows, tops of the bumpers and side rubbing strips were also standard. Interiors were upgraded over the 80 featuring velour seat coverings and a slightly more generous level of equipment.The vendor, a Saab specialist garage, took this rare 5-cylinder 4 door luxury Saloon as a part exchange. Finished in Pearl White with Grey velour, this Audi 90 more recently belonged to a car collecting friend of the vendor. His ownership was over a 5-year period, however, it was stored for 8-9 years in a heated garage at TK Autos, Kendal. The Audi’s condition is said to be ‘exceptional’ for its age, with a few marks that could be remedied. The lack of corrosion is likely due to a galvanised body from Audi on these special iterations of the Audi 80 model series. The Audi 90’s specification was beyond that of many marques in 1990. There’s a Blaupunkt Montreux radio cassette player, electric windows on all four doors, an electric sunroof and air conditioning; unusual to find both specified.The alloy wheels are 15-inch and colour-coded, similar to the original 14-inch alloys also offered with the car. There are some accompanying brochures and an untested Blaupunkt Melbourne radio cassette player. The '90' passed its last MOT with a couple of advisories and subsequently a new track rod end was fitted. There are 3 former keepers recorded on the V5C logbook, a book pack is present and shows stamps up to c.40k in the service booklet (now displaying c.80,060).

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: FBH 30G Chassis No: 1J52239DN MOT: ExemptPresented in the colour scheme of British Racing Green over its original Black Ambla interiorStraight port cylinder head, four-speed all synchromesh gearbox with overdriveAn ideal Jaguar for a running cosmetic project, as it is described by the vendor as in 'very good' mechanical orderThe last evolution of the MkII line, the revised 240 and 340 models were introduced for the 1968 model year. Visually distinguished by their new slimline front and rear bumpers, they also benefited from sundry hidden changes such as the adoption of the E-type's straight port cylinder head design. Fitted with twin SU carburettors, the 340 model's 3442cc DOHC straight-six was quoted as developing some 210bhp and 215lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 120mph in manual guise, the 'compact' Jaguar also boasted four-wheel disc brakes (a defining feature of the entire MkII range from 1959 onwards). Short-lived, just 2,265 right-hand drive specification 340s are thought to have been made.First registered on the 3rd October 1968, ‘FBH 30G’ was supplied with a manual overdrive transmission and is an example of one of the very last 3.4 Litre models built. The documentation has been lost to time, however, the V5C records three former keepers. Subject to a 'Category N' insurance write-off in August 2023, due to what is described as a ‘very mild bump’, it was purchased by the current keeper in October 2023. The 340 has formed part of the vendor's private collection of Jaguars since and has benefitted from some mild works to repair the damage and ensure its good running for use during the classic car show season this year.The vendor describes the 340 as being ‘a good, running and entry-level MkII', however, although the body is solid, the paintwork would benefit from some tidying. Inside, the 340’s original Black Ambla interior ‘presents well’ and could be lifted with some re-lacquering. Mechanically, a good starter, the vendor enthused about its ‘very good mechanical shape’. Now offered for sale due to the seller looking to thin his collection due to space becoming an issue, this 340 would be the ideal classic Jaguar for anyone who wants a solid basis to improve but is happy to spend their weekends improving the car’s cosmetic condition, or use it 'as is', regardless of its appearance!

Registration No: PN07 KTU Chassis No: WP0ZZZ98Z7U753659 MOT: January 2025Finished in the classic combination of Arctic Silver with Black leather upholsteryDesirable five-speed manual gearbox, Porsche side script, Black roof and Black alloysQuoted 242bhp / 201lbft and reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and 162mphDetailed service history with expenditure since 2018 totalling over £17,000 (including an engine refresh)Great value, mid-engined Porsche fastbackLess powerful but more reliable than the ‘S’ variant, the entry level Cayman arrived in July 2006. Faster than many previous generation 911s, Porsche’s hardtop, mid-engined, two-seater was also more dynamically balanced and driver friendly. Possessing greater torsional rigidity than the Boxster Convertible with which it shared a platform, the Fixed Head Coupe was able to utilise stiffer suspension and thus enjoyed even better handling / roadholding. Powered by a DOHC 2.7 litre ‘Flat Six’ engine allied to either manual or Tiptronic transmission, the Cayman had some 242bhp / 201lbft and was reportedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and 162mph. Styling cues borrowed from Porsche’s back catalogue (356, 550 Coupe and 904 Coupe) helped with the aesthetics, while the ergonomically designed cabin was suitably driver orientated. A serial Porsche 911 and Cayman owner, the vendor was drawn to ‘PN07 KTU’ because of the fastidious way it had been looked after by its previous custodian. A Metropolitan Police Royalty and Specialist Protection officer, the latter spent over £17,000 on the car between 2018 and 2023. Marque specialist 911Box carried out most of the work including: a thorough £7,931.88 engine overhaul (new IMS and crankshaft bearings, clutch and timing chains etc) at 79,833 miles, fitting a Dansk sports exhaust (£2,387.87) at 85,819 miles and the most recent major service (£876) last October at 103,405 miles. Other expenditure encompassed new rear brake discs, replacement front springs and air-con re-gassing. Ordered via A I Motokinisi of Cyprus to take advantage of the Mediterranean island’s lower taxes, chassis 753659 was built to right-hand drive specification complete with heated, hard-backed sports seats, 18-inch Cayman S alloy wheels and Black leather upholstery. Attractively finished in Arctic Silver with a contrasting Black roof, rear spoiler and side scripts, the two-seater is warranted to have covered some 110,000 miles from new. Housed within the accompanying leather-bound history folder, the service book contains ten stamps as well as numerous invoices, old MOTs and a Porsche Certificate of Production.

G. Hunter, 7th. A. & S. H. Born 26 Sept. 1892, Fell at Roeux, France, 23 Apl. 1917.’, extremely fine £300-£400 --- Robert Gibson Hunter was born in Falkirk on 26 September 1892, the youngest son of iron works founder Robert Hunter of Glenfuir Mansion House, Falkirk. Educated at Morrison's Academy, Crieff, and Edinburgh University, he graduated Master of Arts (1913) and took employment as a law apprentice with Messrs. Miller Thomson and Co., in Edinburgh. A member of the University O.T.C., Hunter began the process of studying for a Bachelor of Law degree in 1914, but this was soon placed on hold upon his appointment to a commission in the 7th Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, in February 1915.  Posted to France 28 July 1915, Hunter was advanced Lieutenant in 1916 and was killed in action in command of "A" Company, 7th Battalion, on the Western Front. A contemporary newspaper article adds a little more information: 'In a letter to the recipient's mother, his C.O. wrote: "It is with the greatest regret that I have to tell you that your son was killed on the 23rd April 1917 while gallantly leading his Company in the attack. He was doing splendidly, and was proving himself a most capable officer, while his cheery disposition always encouraged the men. We will all feel his loss very much...' Hunter is buried at Level Crossing Cemetery in the Pas-de-Calais, France. A short while later his mother would hear the news that another son, Captain Archibald Smith Hunter M.C., was killed on 29 August 1918, her third child lost to war following the death of Lieutenant John Hunter during the South African Campaign in 1900. Sold with a copied photograph of the recipient in military uniform from which the miniature portrait was posthumously modelled.

HEPWORTH BARBARA: (1903-1975) English sculptor. A significant correspondence and archive of photographs relating to Hepworth´s sculpture Cosdon Head (1949) comprising four A.Ls.S., Barbara, ten pages (total), 4to and one written to both sides of a correspondence card, Trewyn Studio, St. Ives, Cornwall, 12th July - 3rd October 1950, all to James Archdale. Hepworth writes in detail regarding her sculpture, and some possible damage caused in transit, as well as her personal life and impending divorce from painter Ben Nicholson -(i) A.L.S., Barbara, one page, 4to, St. Ives, Cornwall, 12th July 1950, to James [Archdale], thanking him for going to so much trouble with the Cosdon Head and informing him that ´The weight is about 2 3/4 cwt. perhaps only 2 1/4 - it rests on a slight wood base which has a turntable set under it & moves quite easily. This enables it to be moved in the light. Both here, & at the Biennale it looked well on a strongly made wood plinth with a dull finish of a warm pale grey colour´.(ii) A lengthy A.L.S., Barbara, five pages (separate leaves), 4to, St. Ives, Cornwall, 13th August (1950), to James Archdale (´Dear Jim´). Hepworth apologises for the delay in writing to Archdale, explaining that his letter had arrived ´just at the moment when I was in a state of collapse´ and adding ´my personal difficulties reached a peak as Ben arrived in St. Ives with Mrs. Littler [Rhoda Littler, an artist, and Nicholson´s lover at the time] & is living with her here. In a small town like this it produced so many problems quite apart from the horrid divorce proceedings which I have had to set going, the difficult situation for the children & the fact that Ben´s & my life has been so interwoven professionally for 20 years that one hardly knows how to cope with it´, further writing of how ´desperately upset´ she feels that some damage may have occurred to the Cosdon Head, remarking ´If you remember the back of the head was a solid block of calcite crystals - I worked the matrix down to a level surface but it was a scarred & discoloured surface. If the surfaces have become broken or chipped in any way it can only be inadequate packing on the part of the packers in London (if as you say your unpackers are blameless) & as it was completely in order when my assistant went up to the Tate Gallery to inspect it on its return from the Venice Biennale. He cleaned it & reported to me that it was in a perfect state......The point that worries me considerably is why was I not informed by the Art Gallery the moment it arrived & was found damaged. I am deeply grieved that a work which can go to Venice & back in safety should be hurt between London & Birmingham & of course no insurance in the world compensates the artist.....I would suggest dealing with it in this way. 1) Report to the Insurance people. 2) Establish the damage by comparison with the set of photos I sent you. 3) Have it very carefully packed & sent by Goods here to me so that I can assess the cost of the damage & repairs if repair is possible. Forgive me for saying this - but I´m not convinced that your unpackers are blameless. I fear they may have tried to lift it by brute strength (which is impossible as it is slippery) & that it may have fallen. The British Council packed it several times - always lifting it in a net´.(iii) A.L.S., Barbara, to both sides of a printed correspondence card, St. Ives, Cornwall, 16th August (1950), to James Archdale (´Dear Jim´), apologising for both having sent him such a dreary letter and for the trouble he has been put to with the Cosdon Head, remarking ´It was such a terrific labour working that stone (& one of my best works) I could not bear to think of the damage. Perhaps it is not so serious?´.(iv) A.L.S., Barbara, two pages, 4to, St. Ives, Cornwall, 3rd October (1950), to James Archdale (´Dear Jim´). Hepworth states that the photographs of the Cosdon Head have just arrived and that she can not detct any damage at all, explaining ´The white mark on the nose is calcite crystal & was always there....& the back of the Head was full of calcite crystals or their pockets. This is a metamorphic stone & the back was the matrix. The fine white lines are innate in the rock. This stone took 9 1/2 solid weeks carving - it is worse than flint to carve. If you object to the white marks I would suggest that they are tinted a neutral colour to tone it down, but on no account should the one on the nose be touched as it is part of the form & expression. It would be disastrous to alter it. The sculpture was just like this when you saw it at Carbis Bay & Lefevre´.Together with five different vintage signed 6.5 x 8 studio photographs by Hepworth, each of the images depicting the Cosdon Head from various angles, four of them signed (´Barbara Hepworth´) in ink to the versos, further adding the title and date of the sculpture in her hand, as well as identifying the stone (´Armenian blue marble´), and the fifth signed to the verso in pencil by Hepworth with her initials, and also adding St Ives in her hand beneath. Also including a second example of one of the photographs with a printed caption to the verso relating to its entry in the Venice Biennale of 1950.Further including a T.L.S. on behalf of Dr. Mary Woodall, Keeper of the City Museum and Art Gallery in Birmingham, one page, 4to, Birmingham, 11th October 1951, to James Archdale, on the printed stationery of the Department of Art. Woodall informs her correspondent that she has sent him all of the photographs they had of the Cosdon Head, declaring ´It is a most confusing affair altogether´ and further remarking ´Personally, I have a feeling that our photographs are much better quality than Barbara Hepworth´s and therefore show the defects in more detail´. Accompanied by the photographs referred to, being four original 6 x 8 studio photographs showing the Cosdon Head from different angles, each with the copyright stamp of the City of Birmingham to the versos.An excellent archive of letters and photographs relating to one of Hepworth´s works (which the scupltor herslf describes as one of her best pieces). VG, 15The Cosdon Head was one of the first works created by Hepworth at her Trewyn Studio and after being entered at the Venice Biennale it was gifted to the Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery by James Archdale in 1951. The Cosdon Head also formed part of an exhibition entitled Sculpture of the Twentieth Century which toured between the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Modern Art in America between 1952-53.

BOOTH WILLIAM: (1829-1912) British Methodist Preacher, founder and General of The Salvation Army. A good autograph statement signed `William Booth´, one page, 8vo, green paper, n.p., 22nd September 1902, on the Salvation army printed stationery, bearing the "Blood and Fire" red crest of the Salvation Army to the heading. In bold purple fountain pen ink Booth states `Yours for the service of God and my generation up to the highest level of my capacity and opportunity. William Booth - General of the Salvation Army´. Laid down to a very slightly larger page. Small overall minor creasing, otherwise GBooth´s organisation was at first ridiculed, but his success in establishing homes and training centres, particularly for unmarried mothers and ex-prisoners, made him a national figure. In 1902 Edward VII insisted that he receive an invitation to his coronation.

The quite extraordinary album of autographs collected by Mike Ormerod during his period as a DJ for the Mecca Group, this unbelievable album is full of autographs including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, The Small Faces, The Who, The Drifters, The Searchers, The Animals, The Supremes, The Moody Blues, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard and The Shadows, The Merseybeats, Manfred Mann, Lulu, Joe Cocker, The Kinks, Otis Redding, Cat Stevens, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard, The Troggs, Patty LaBelle & The Blue Belles, Wilson Pickett, The Walker Brothers, The Drifters, Petula Clark, Roy Orbison, Gene Pitney, The Everly Brothers, and Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders to name a few. The second half of the album is full of stars of stage and screen including cast members of Coronation Street, the cast of a stage production of Les Misérables, and other noted actors and actresses of the last fifty years. Provenance: The album is presented with a letter from Mike Ormerod confirming that every single autograph and set of autographs were obtained personally by him directly from the act or acts.Provenance: The Mike Ormerod Autograph Collection. This particular album featured on an episode of BBC One's The Antiques Roadshow discussing its rarity and importance.Further to a discussion with Mrs Ormerod (13.09.24) regarding the authenticity of the autographs she states very clearly that:Mike was like a dog with a bone when he was getting the autograph he would wait for hours to obtain autographs and would never give up. In the 60’s he saw the Beatles at 3 venues which included The King Georges Hall in Blackburn and ABC Cinema in Wigan as well as one other venue possibly Manchester, he would not have left without signatures.He had a ‘pal’ named Ron who was a promoter for many of the groups in the 60’s and it was Ron that got Mike into many venues. Mike would never buy autographs because the excitement for him was meeting the stars.Mike spent a lifetime collecting autographs and it would be fair to say he had a specialist level of knowledge.

A Victorian Silver Mug, by Charles Boyton, London, 1898 tapering cylindrical and on spreading foot, with loop handle, engraved slightly later with initials 'ER from L&S' and dated 'May 8 1905'13.5cm high, 13oz 8dwt, 417grFully marked near rim. The marks are generally clear. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. There are some bruises, particularly one on the base which causes the mug to rock when placed on a level surface.

The original V8 Vantage was a legendary old brute, and we’re all familiar with Bond driving one into a barn in The Living Daylights. The X-Pack took things to another level, although it did away with the deployable skis, missiles and jet engine as seen on the Bond car. Built between 1986 and 89, the X-Pack introduced a raft of updates over the base V8 Vantage including four dual-barrel Weber carburettors, Nimrod racing-type heads, larger valves and high compression pistons from Cosworth. This upped the 5.3-litre V8’s output to 432hp, not far off what supercars of the day were capable of. Telling the X-Pack apart from the regular Vantages is easy, too, looking as though it could deck you just for staring at it. Flared wheel arches give it a particularly muscular look, along with a, er, sizeable power bulge on the bonnet and a far deeper front bumper that acted as an air dam. Probably the most recognisable X-Pack feature is the blanked-out grille (not entirely sure how that helps with cooling) but some cars were specced with a more conventional mesh finish. Blanking plate or not, the X-Pack is an exceptionally rare variant of a car built in the hundreds.This fabulous and extremely rare example is allegedly one of only two right hand drive examples produced in Litchfield Black with black leather interior and walnut trim inlays. The specification includes air conditioning, electric windows, an analogue dashboard clock, heated rear screen and a lockable glove box. It is accompanied by a service booklet, handbook, a good history documenting maintenance and images of the car whilst in Jay Kay’s ownership. Production numbers vary here and there, but the listing claims that only 95 examples were produced, with this particular car being just one of two finished in Litchfield Black Metallic. The X-Packs were offered with an automatic gearbox, what with it being a massive grand tourer at heart, but this model comes with a manual gearbox. This is one of the greats of British motoring and certainly one of the greatest Aston Martins ever built – rare as hens teeth, brutish good looks and performance to match. This particular example has a great pedigree of ownership, having been in the ownership of one of most prolific private collectors in the UK and this would definitely grace any avid Aston Martin collectors garage or indeed be driven in anger by any who dare!

The Lotus Carlton was a Vauxhall Carlton upgraded by Lotus Cars to be a 177mph sports saloon with acceleration equal to contemporary supercars. When released, it was the fastest four-door saloon car in the world. The external differences were minimal with the addition of a rear spoiler, air intakes on the bonnet, Lotus badges on the front wings and bootlid, a bodykit and considerably wider wheel arches. The car was only sold in one colour, a shade of British Racing Green called Imperial Green, a very dark green that in anything but direct light appears black.Lotus re-worked the 2969cc, 24V straight-six used in the Carlton GSi and bored it out to 3615cc. In addition, twin Garrett T25 turbochargers were attached resulting in 377bhp and torque at 419lb/ft. Power was transmitted through a six-speed ZF manual gearbox and power was driven to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential. The brakes were supplied by AP with 330mm ventilated discs all round and racing callipers.First registered on the 18th March 1992 this truly stunning example of the ultra-collectable 90’s super salon is presented in unmarked Imperial Green with contrasting luxury black full leather. Our vendor always dreamt that his dad would turn up from work in a Lotus Carlton when he was younger but having not experienced it as a child, when the opportunity to purchase his own in 2013 arose he jumped at the chance. The car he purchased in 2013 was a indeed a very good example, just four previous owners with documentation back to when new and in 1996 at 49,478 miles had benefitted from a brand new replacement engine under warranty, which is documented as the last Lotus crate engine in existence, therefore the last-ever factory Lotus re-worked 3615cc, 24V straight-six engine is fitted to this very car.Although happy with his pride and joy, in 2022 he decided to contact his local trusted Bodyshop to tidy up a few aspects, this brought what eventually became an unplanned, comprehensive and frankly breathtaking cosmetic restoration. The car was treated to any necessary work to sills and underside before all nuts and bots were replaced and treated before being fully photographed and then undersealed. Then the body, initially planned to rectify any areas in need, our vendor decided to strike a deal with The Bodycentre, Norwich and they could showcase this car for their work… and boy did that pay dividends, where some body shops would take the route of least resistance The Bodycentre took the philosophy that this was their opportunity to demonstrate the highest level of workmanship, indeed three days alone were taken on one wheel arch to ensure the work was exactly as it would have been from new before replicating it on others. It was handy that another original Lotus Carlton was already in the bodyshop, so no stranger to the cars they could make sure all necessary details were seen to. The fit and finish of the panels and even the body kit is exemplary, the finish being part of the reason our vendor is selling ‘it’s just too good that now I’m worried about driving it and getting even a stone chip’.The car is no trailer queen… yet, recent mechanical works include full brake rebuild front and rear with refurbished calipers, new discs, new pads and new hoses all round, fully powder coated and rebushed suspension, new OE wheel bearings all round, new ball joints and new steering control arms and the car performs impeccably and remains garaged between short trips.The interior wasn’t left out of the works, the headlining and A pillars all retrimmed to sustain the ‘fresh’ feel and as original by an original Lotus factory trimmer, which compliments the original stereo and leather trim which feels like it has done ½ the 76,941 miles on the odometer, even the optional over mats feel fresh and are a nod to the sheer opulence of this car when it was new. On that note, the car is completely standard and incredibly original with all work completed as such, the original unused spare is in the boot alongside the unused medical kit and of course the car is complemented by a comprehensive from day-one history file including full book pack and various dealer booklets and magazines of the day. Never intended to be such a comprehensive restoration project, with the plan to simply tidy the car up, our vendor has for want of a better word ‘shot himself in the foot’ striving for perfection he has created one of the best if not the best example on the market, as new yet drivable, boasting the last Lotus re-worked straight-six and with provenance that cannot be replicated, viewing is imperative to appreciate the opportunity to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY LONGCASE CLOCK OF ONE-MONTH DURATIONJOHN BARROW, LONDON, CIRCA 1695The five finned pillar outside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 11 inch square brass dial with ringed winding holes, 'triple crown' decorated scroll border engrave calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword-hilt half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed John Barrow, Londini fecit to lower margin, with fine scroll-pierced sculpted blued steel hands and applied winged cherub mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles and incorporating leafy scroll engraved decoration to the margins of the plate between, the case with ogee moulded cornice and fretwork frieze over floral marquetry trail decorated hinged glazed dial surround applied with ebonised three quarter columns to angles, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with floral bloom decorated convex throat moulding over 42 inch rectangular door centred with a circular lenticle and with three shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and scrolling foliage into an ebonised ground, with half-round edge mouldings and triple-line strung surround, the sides veneered with three line-edged panels within crossbanded borders, the base with stepped ogee top mouldings over conforming rectangular marquetry panel within crossbanded surround, on bun feet.204.5cm (80.5ins) high, 47.5cm (18.75ins) wide, 25,5cm (10ins) deep. John Barrow is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born around 1657 and apprenticed to Frances Ireland 1671-78. He gained his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1681. He took-on numerous apprentices including several from his own family such as Samuel Barrow 1688-69, William Barrow (his son) 1700/01-10, and George Barrow (probably son of William Barrow of Churton, Cheshire) in 1706. John Barrow signed the oath of allegiance in 1697, he was made Assistant in 1705, Warden from 1710 and served as Master in 1714; he died in 1718 and was buried at St. Paul's Covent Garden. Loomes further notes that he worked from an address at the Hermitage hence may have had some form of relationship with Samuel Barrow who was also based there. The engraved 'triple crown' decoration around the calendar aperture of the current lot is a feature sometimes seen on longcase clocks dating from the 1690's and is generally thought to represent the unification of the three Kingdoms of England, Ireland and Scotland, which was first envisaged during the reign of James II in 1688 and was cemented by Act of Parliament in 1707. Indeed, it is possible that this decoration commemorates the signing of the clockmaker's oath of allegiance (to the crown) in 1697. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements other than the escapewheel and pallets which look to be 19th century service replacements. There is some historic rebushing and a gentle clean/service is advised if intending to put into long term service. The dial is in fine condition with only slight oxidation to the silvering; hands appear original and undamaged. The movement rests on what appears to the original seatboard at the correct level in the case with no visible evidence of adjustments to the cheek uprights of the case. With this in mind we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is in sound condition but would benefit from a little attention in places, The hood has replacements columns and bargeboards to the rear. The front fret is also not original and the upper edge of the hood now has slips of timber applied to the top edge (for no apparent purpose). There is no evidence to indicate that the hood was made as a rising and door is veneered on the inside hence hood may have originally been made with a door. The right-hand side has section cut into the lower leading corner to allow the late brass column base clearance when the door is opened. The trunk is in sound condition although the hinges are replacements. The backboard continues down into the base stopping around 3 inches up from the lower level of the box, the sides of the trunk continue further hence it is likely that these elements retain their original length. The carcass has a general wash of black stain (appears 19th century). The trunk door has the usual slight shrinkage cracking/small losses within the marquetry towards the upper and lower margins (where the horizontal clamps are applied to the door board). The base retains its original marquetry but with some repairs and replacements/filling within the decoration; there is also some shrinkage cracking. The side veneers of the trunk are in good condition and nicely figured; the sides of the base have noticeable shrinkage and patching/replacements within the veneers (most noticeably towards the front corners. The underside of the plinth has strip of timber applied to both the front and sides and the bun feet are later. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to bumps, scuffs, a few small veneer patch repairs and other age-related blemishes.Clock is complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y&nbspA FINE CHARLES II OLIVEWOOD AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH TEN-INCH DIALRICHARD JARRATT, LONDON, CIRCA 1685The five finned and latched pillar outside countwheel bell striking movement with tall plates measuring 7.5 by 5 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the backplate with distinctive decorative aperture for the pallet arbor, the 10 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands, applied cast winged cherub mask spandrels to angles and signed Richard Jarratt, London to lower margin of the plate, in an oyster olivewood and floral marquetry veneered case with part ebonised ogee moulded architectural cornice and foliate scroll pierced fret to frieze over hinged front with glazed dial aperture flanked by ebonised Solomonic twist three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with convex throat moulding over 41 inch rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle between two line-edged shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and a central stylised urn into an ebony ground within an oyster veneered olivewood field, the upper and lower angles with conforming marquetry spandrel panels within half-round ebonised edge mouldings, the sides with veneered with repeating oysters within banded surround, the base with part-ebonised stepped ogee upper moulding over oval floral marquetry decorated panel and four conforming quadrant panels to fascia, on ebonised bun feet, (the hood formerly rising).191.5cm (75.5ins) high, 45cm (17.75ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) deep. Provenance:The Leonard Fuller Collection, purchased from G.H. Bell, Winchester, 26th August 1965 for £850. Richard Jarratt is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as a freeman of the Salters' Company who became free in the Clockmakers' Company in January 1670/1. He was made a Steward in 1672, an Assistant in 1674, served as Warden 1681-83 and was elected Master in 1686. Jarratt was the son-on-law of Jeremy Gregory having married Rebecca Halstead (nee Gregory) widow of clockmaker Richard Halstead in 1678. Richard Jarratt worked in Lothbury and ceased attending Court in 1693 through illness. He received occasional charity from the Clockamakers' Company from 1694 including 18s sent to him at 'Ludgate' prison in 1695. Jarratt continued to pay quaterage up until 1697 but did not sign the oath of allegiance that year. He is believed to have died by 1698. The present lot is a good example of the earliest form of marquetry longcase clock with ebony-ground bird inhabited designs set into shaped panels composed with curved quadrants to the trunk door and shaped spandrels around an on oval to the plinth. Indeed a case housing a movement and dial by Thomas Tompion, exhibiting a related arrangement of marquetry panels to the present clock, is illustrated in Dawson, P.G; Drover, C.B. and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks on page 266 (Plate 363). The movement of the present clock is also highly typical of the produced by London makers during the mis 1680's with tall slender latched plates and external countwheel; a nice, individual feature, is the decorative cut-out to the backplate for the pallet arbor. The dial is of an attractive restrained design again typical of the period with the signature executed in the same manner (and probably by the same hand) as an example by Joseph Knibb illustrated in Lee, Ronald A. The Knibb Family * Clockmakers on page 108 (Plate 107). Condition Report: Movement is in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is clean but we would suggest that a precautionary gentle clean/lubrication is advisable if intending to put into long term service. The dial is in good original condition; the plate is not gilded but is of nice even mellow colour being coated in toned lacquer. The chapter ring has overall light oxidation hence is also of fairly mellow colour. The hour hand is an unusual pattern hence may be a replacement; the spandrels are good quality castings. The seatboard is a replacement but rests at the correct level in the case on cheek uprights that appear free from any visible adjustment. The top left corner of the backplate has evidence of movement-to-case securing bracket being fitted at some point (no longer present) there is no corresponding evidence of a being fitted to the case backboard which would suggest that the movement and dial are not original to the case (although movement and case are a very good match).The case is generally in very good condition. The hood was originally rising but has been converted to be drawn forwards and the front now opens. The conversion to opening front was clearly executed a long time ago and very neatly preserving the original veneers to the sides. The top board is a replacement and the rear edges of the extremities of the cornice have been cut at an angle to allow for standing in the corner of a room. The front right hand tip of the cornice has a small loss to the moulding, and there is a very small section out of the chin moulding to the right hand side towards the front edge. The frieze fret and bargeboards are replacements, the rear quarter columns may also be replacements. The top board is a replacement and the rear interior edges also have some wear (near the runners for the former rising action). Faults to the hood are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage, wear and historic repairs commensurate with age and use. The trunk and base are in fine condition with the door retaining its original lock and hinges. Although the backboard and sides panels do not continue all the way down to line up with the lower edge of the base (stop a few inches short) they appear to retain their original lengths with no evidence if being shortened. The box base appears original but with some historic worm damage to the carcass (not active). The veneers have small repairs to the banding at the edges (to address chips); both sides have a full-height sections of veneer let-in towards the rear edge - these appear to be an original feature and both side veneers match. The bin feet are replacements and there is a later applied slip of timber dressing the rear of the box beneath the backboard Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to small historic bumps, scuffs, a few very minor veneer repairs and other age-related blemishes.Clock is complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, case key and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A simply incredible example with just 1,179 miles from new, family ownership and in truly amazing condition that needs to be seen to be appreciated. Back in 1999, if you wanted a back-to-basics roadster that was quick, handsome and had a stiff chassis with 50/50 weight distribution, you didn’t have too many options. The MX-5 wasn’t far off, but you could hardly call that quick – and the MG F was little-better.Before the S2000, roadsters generally came with scuttle shake – that awful vibration of the windscreen and dash when you hit a bump – and Honda’s motorsport engineers, who were tasked with building the S2000, were determined to eliminate this. The solution was the high 'X-bone' frame which, in conjunction with the steel monocoque chassis and body structure gave the S2000 levels of rigidity previously unheard of in open-top cars. There hadn't been a roadster with this level of focus on the driver since the Lotus Elise.The S2000's engine also set the Honda apart from the rest, producing 237bhp from a 2-litre block, impressive enough today, let alone back in 1999 and it did so without forced induction. Cutting-edge dynamics, a rev limit of 9,000rpm and the engine's position far back in the engine bay (almost front/mid-engined) meant that it had no real competition, no other sporting two-seaters could come close to its combination of speed, handling, brakes and good looks. The car was available in GT-spec which included headlight washers, traction control, PAS, CD and a factory hardtop.The S2000GT offered here is probably unrepeatable as it has covered an incredible 1,179 miles from new and presents as such. It's a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example finished in Nürburgring Blue Metallic with a matching hardtop, complemented by a blue convertible roof with a black leather interior. Equipment includes an electrically operated convertible roof (with stand and cover), heated rear window, air-con, radio CD player, electric windows and electrically adjustable door mirrors.Despite the incredibly low mileage, the service book has been stamped a remarkable seven times and accompanying the car are the owners manuals, service book, toolkit, MOTs and service invoices. The car has been garaged from new and this is clear to see from its spectacular condition, which needs to be seen to be appreciated.The Honda S2000 GT is becoming very collectible and quite right for such an involving sports car. This particular example will certainly be hard to repeat considering its condition, mileage and diligent history. A true 'best of breed' contender, we welcome and encourage your inspection at our Silverstone Festival auction to fully appreciate the quality on offer.Specification Make: HONDA Model: S2000 GT Year: 2002 Chassis Number: JHMAP11302T201116 Registration Number: HG02 MLE Transmission: Manual Engine Number: F20C21021066 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 1179 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

An original UK, right-hand drive, manual gearbox 190 SL fully rebuilt from a bare shell and superbly finished in Opalescent Blue. During the 1950s, when Mercedes-Benz were the dominant force in top-level motorsport, the undisputed flagship of the firm’s production car range was the stunning 300SL sports car. Highly desirable as it was, it was also financially out of the reach of most enthusiasts. Keen to capitalise on the 300 SL’s numerous competition successes and find a foothold in the increasingly lucrative sports car market, Mercedes-Benz introduced its smaller stablemate, the equally beautifully engineered 190 SL. The 190 SL was powered by a new, slightly over-square, 1.9-litre straight-four SOHC engine that developed 120bhp with twin-choke dual Solex carburettors and when mated with a 4-speed manual gearbox, endowed the sleek aerodynamic and comparatively light roadster with a top speed of 115mph and a respectable 0-60 time of 13 seconds. The fact that the 190's ride was more 'boulevard' than sporting and that many contemporary sports cars could out-perform it while costing a good deal less did nothing to deter sales. The 190 SL cemented Mercedes-Benz's reputation as the car manufacturer for those who wanted elegance, build quality and a good turn of speed and unsurprisingly, most of the 26,000 units were sold to the North American market, with some 562 arriving in the UK in right-hand drive.Offered from long term ownership with a full restoration completed some nine years ago, this original UK, right-hand drive Mercedes 190 SL has had the benefit of being fully rebuilt from a bare shell with the bodywork superbly refinished in Opalescent Blue by PF Autos of Stoke on Trent. Redcastle Classics Ltd, Mercedes Specialists, based in Caerphilly, were entrusted with a complete engine overhaul including new pistons, liners and balanced crankshaft all breathing through twin Weber 40 DCIOE carburettors. Additional upgrades included a fully recommissioned steering box, an alternator upgrade and a fully refurbished drivetrain illustrating that this clearly was a no expense spared exercise. Internally, the same attention to detail continued with a full Burgundy leather interior and replacement carpets as required, all beautifully highlighted by the distinctive padded dashboard with an abundance of period chrome details such as the horn ring and courtesy light and the Bakelite steering wheel and gear knob.The car is accompanied by a comprehensive history file containing numerous bills and invoices and a photographic record of the extensive refurbishment. This is a lovely example of these late-1950s Continental Roadsters and would be welcome in any Collection or, as was obviously the intention, very much at home out on the open road with numerous trophy-winning outings covering the UK and even longer road trips to Classic Le Mans already under its belt. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the charismatic styling that truly epitomised the bright sense of optimism and 'anything is possible' feeling that pervaded Western Europe ten years after the end of hostilities.Specification Make: MERCEDES Model: 190 SL Year: 1956 Chassis Number: R121042650361 Registration Number: DEY 202 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: TBC Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Red HideClick here for more details and images

This 4.2-litre Coupé, a charming, older restored example finished in Warwick Grey with a red leather interior, is offered without Reserve. Jaguar continued to develop the E-Type throughout its life and the first results of this programme of improvements were introduced in 1964 when the newly enlarged 4.2-litre XK engine was installed. Maximum power remained unchanged at 265bhp, however torque was usefully increased which, combined with the arrival of a fully synchronised Moss gearbox and more consistent fuel flow from the twin SU petrol pumps, contributed greatly to smooth progress.The Series 2 of 1968 was a further quantum leap with an improved cooling system and better Girling brakes addressing those less than endearing Series I characteristics of getting too hot and not being able to stop. The Series 2 also introduced several design changes, largely due to US Federal legislation and the most noted exterior features are the open headlights, a larger grille opening, re-positioned and larger front indicators and rear lights below the bumpers. The 4.2-litre XK straight-six now featured ribbed cam-covers, whilst inside there were better seats with headrests, new switchgear and the ignition switch was now on the steering column.Dating from 1971, the chassis number on this right-hand drive Series 2 Coupé indicates that it was one of the last few dozen S2 Coupés built, immediately prior to the arrival of the Series 3. We understand that it was subject to a bodywork restoration in the early 2000s and refinished in Warwick Grey although the red leather interior appears to be original. The history file contains a photographic record of the restoration.The Jaguar was purchased by our vendor in 2013 and there is an invoice in the file from Bishops of Peterborough dated 30th September 2013 covering various items including the fitting of a flat-bottomed Moto-Lita steering wheel and boss (£276) to make getting in and out easier. Bishops have continued to look after the car and there are a further three invoices in the file from them totalling £3,023.This is a charming example of a late-production S 2, nicely mellowed with an original interior and is on offer without Reserve. Running and driving, it wouldn't need much to take it to the next level and is well worth your close inspection.Specification Make: JAGUAR Model: E-TYPE Year: 1971 Chassis Number: 1R21040 Registration Number: AGG 182J Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 7R14203-8 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 15063 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Red leatherClick here for more details and images

His house, (since sadly demolished) in the grounds, on what is now known as Bennelong Lawn was directly across from and level with the doors of Sydney Opera House. It afforded what the late Duke of Edinburgh described to him as 'the house with the best view in the world'.

Registration - ABW 330MChassis No. - 549854M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 11,042 kmThis superb Innocenti Mini Cooper Export 1300, which is being offered with no reserve is a real rarity that will appeal enormously to Mini enthusiasts the world over. The vendor has this LHD car for 16 years, in which time it has benefitted from a “first-class” full nut-and-bolt restoration. This saw them “take it to another level” with a series of expertly-configured upgrades to create what they believe to be one of the most special original Innocenti Minis in the world. ‘ABV330M’ has an upgraded 1,310cc engine with Aldon electronic ignition and a specialist hand-made cooling system that includes a bespoke heater matrix, oil cooler and twin-core radiator. It also has Swiftune trumpets and an LCB three-branch exhaust manifold feeding into a Maniflow exhaust. The vendor says this is a car built not simply for pootling to the shops but, thanks to its extra power, “jumping in and crossing continents”. This 1973 Innocenti Mini Cooper Export 1300’s suspension has been expertly improved to handle its extra power as well. It has Koni dampers all-round, and adjustable Hi-Lo suspension. Handling is further improved by a negative camber kit. A big box folder of history helps confirm the many upgrades that have helped engineer what is a very special car indeed. ‘ABV330M is finished in the wonderfully original 1970s colour of Pescanero, with a grey and black vinyl and cloth interior. Is packed with delightful period details that mark out Innocenti Leyland Minis from home market British Leyland models. These include badges and logos, front grille and boot pressing, desirable ‘Export’ badges on the front wings, and other touches that identify this as a bespoke Mini built in Italy. ‘ABV330M’ also showcases the bespoke Innocenti Mini interior, with a horizontally-arranged six-dial instrument pack featuring gauges carrying lettering in Italian. Distinct eyeball air vents, door trims and door pockets are different from British Mini too, while Innocenti even fitted a bespoke heater system and steering wheel. Overall, the vendor describes this car as being in ‘excellent’ condition throughout, making this a rare opportunity for aficionados to obtain an ultra-desirable example of the Innocenti Mini Cooper Export. Innocenti was established in the 1930s and was originally famous for its Lambretta scooters. In 1961, it struck a deal with BMC to build the Mini under licence, with the original Innocenti Mini 850 introduced in 1965. The cars were originally assembled using CKD kits of parts shipped to Italy from the UK, before production of locally-sourced shells in Italy began. Mini fans can spend hours detailing the differences between UK and Italian cars. Production continued for 10 years and the Innocenti Minis were a huge success, although further plans to work with Innocenti were halted when BLMC was effectively nationalised in 1975. In summary:Collectable Innocenti Mini Cooper Export 1300Subject of a full restoration to a very high standardExtensive history documents a fascinating and ultra-rare model

Registration - 946 UYLChassis No. - 589K06030M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 40,300This grand and graceful 1958 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight is a real high-impact LHD American classic – with added celebrity kudos, having appeared in an episode of The Crown on Netflix. Originally sold by Bradley Oldsmobile in Tulsa (whose dealer emblem remains on the bootlid) in August 1958, it remained in the state for 33 years, before moving to Kansas, and eventually being imported into the UK. In terms of condition, the vendor reports it is ‘excellent’ throughout, including exterior, interior and mechanicals. “High points are superb original seats, carpets, trunk area, chrome, stainless trim and glass.” They add that the body is corrosion-free, the paint is original and they have resisted the temptation to paint it: to make truly perfect, the bonnet would benefit from some attention. In 2002, it enjoyed a full engine and transmission removal and overhaul, with the vendor regularly servicing it during their stewardship. ‘946UYL’ comes with a very comprehensive history that includes a trophy for winning the Classic American Magazine Stars & Stripes event at Tatton Park in 2017, plus a prize for best 1950s American car at the 2019 event. The car was later displayed at the NEC on the Classic American stand. It has also been featured in a detailed magazine article, a copy of which will be included in the sale. The 6.1-litre V8 engine is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, with an odometer reading 40,300 miles. The vendor reports it drives very well, starting easily with no smoke or noises. ‘946UYL’ is fitted with the rare factory-fit air conditioning, but because this wasn’t working, the vendor has removed the compressor and condenser to store them in a dry place for future attention. The vendor adds they have owned American cars for nearly 50 years “and know what a good car should be like: this is a superb find”. The Oldsmobile 98 (also spelled Ninety-Eight) was the American firm’s full-size range-topper that ran from the 1940s right through to 1996. The name refers to it being a ‘Series 90’ fitted with a V8 engine. Naturally, being a top-line model (the Oldsmobile equivalent of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, if you like), it pioneered many high-tech features of the time, such as automatic transmission and automatically-dimming headlights. The fifth generation Oldsmobile 98 was introduced in 1957, with avant-garde styling including dramatic side feature lines, and with high-level equipment such as power steering, power brakes and electric windows. All were powered by a 6.1-litre ‘Rocket’ V8 engine, with a four-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission. The cars measured an astonishing 5.5 metres long, and were offered in both two-door and four-door hard-top and convertible versions. The fifth generation lasted just two years before a complete redesign in 1959. In summary:Classic American award-winning carFeatured in ‘The Crown’ on NetflixHighly original with plenty of period features and historical records

Registration - F11 TYPChassis No. - SAJAC65B6E8K03512M.O.T. - July 2025Odometer - 12,000Resplendent in racing red, this Jaguar F-Type S convertible is an early example, and offered at no reserve. Fitted with a cherished registration, which is included in the sale, ‘F11 TYP’ uses Jaguar’s 3.0-litre supercharged V6 and eight-speed Quickshift automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddles. Performance when new saw 380hp help move the F-Type S from 0-62mph in just 4.8 seconds, seeing this roadster continue Jaguar’s fine tradition of open-top sportscars. The interior features black leather seats with red stitching, while the dashboard and centre console is in black with silver highlights. Factory-fitted features include Jaguar’s high-performance braking system with red brake callipers, adaptive sports suspension, active sports exhaust, sports seats, and multi-function steering wheel.The F-Type S has had just two owners from new, with the current keeper’s tenure lasting more than eight years. It has been looked after by Jaguar dealerships from new, and features a full service history, as well as having no advisories on the last MOT. ‘F11 TYP’ has been kept in dry storage for some time, due to health issues, and as such has had a new battery fitted. It also helps explain the low indicated mileage, with just 12,000 miles showing on the odometer, and fewer than 1,000 of those in the last three years according to MOT reports. The vendor describes ‘F11 TYP’ as being in 'superb' overall condition, with only the paintwork described as ‘good’; the rest of the car, including engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, and interior are all reckoned ‘excellent’.Offered at no reserveLow mileage exampleStunning supercharged Jaguar roadsterJaguar launched the F-Type in 2013, based on the well-received C-X16 concept shown at Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011. Pitched as the spiritual successor to the E-Type, clear styling cues from Jaguar’s most famous model are clear, but it’s a thoroughly modern design, penned by a team led by Ian Callum. Despite the concept car being a coupe, it was the roadster that was launched first, followed by the coupe a year later in 2014. Each were available in standard, S, and R specifications, all super charged, with the former two using V6 units, and the R powered by a supercharged V8 producing almost 500hp. A high-performance SVR version arrived in 2016, before a facelift was introduced in 2019. This saw slimmer light clusters and sharpened design, as well as the introduction of an entry-level 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, beneath the two V6 units and the V8. Production ran until 2024, with almost 88,000 models produced.

Registration - GOV 750WChassis No. - TPADJ7AT205451M.O.T. - TBCOdometer - TBCCheerfully presented in sky blue, this example of Triumph’s TR7 convertible is powered by the firm’s 2.0-litre straight four and manual gearbox. Offered at no reserve, ‘GOV 750W’ is fitted with Triumph’s multi-spoke star wheels and folding roof, while inside the interior is specified to complement the exterior bodywork. The seats and door cards are trimmed in blue vinyl with tartan cloth panels, and the centre console has wood veneer trim - matching the wood-rimmed steering wheel and gear knob. ‘GOV 750W’ is offered as a project car, in need of some TLC. The odometer reads only 29,262 miles, which is an incredibly low figure for what is a 44 year old model, and as such is unwarranted. MOT records support that figure back to 2006, however, the TR7’s MOT last expired in April 2017 and hasn’t been tested since. ‘GOV 750W’ comes with a folder of paperwork and, although can be seen in the photos, is far from concours level, represents good foundations for someone to stamp their mark on the car.Offered at no reserveIdeal project modelDesirable convertible example of Triumph’s TR7Representing a significant departure from the TR6 that preceded it, the Triumph TR7 came with wedge styling typical of the time, and proved a successful export model for the British manufacturer. Introduced in 1975 in the United States, it took more than 12 months for the TR7 to go on sale in the UK because of demand overseas. Powered by a four-cylinder petrol engine and four-speed manual gearbox initially, later developments saw the option of a five-speed manual or three-speed automatic introduced. Triumph also developed a V8 powered version - technically the TR8 - which used a Rover 3.5-litre V8, focused on the US market, and the firm also took it rallying as the TR7 V8. Production lasted until 1981, after around 115,000 models had been built, and marked the end of Triumph as a sports car manufacturer.
