The particularly fine Second War immediate ‘Augsburg Raid’ D.F.C., D.F.M. group of seven awarded to Hampden and Lancaster navigator, Warrant Officer F. S. Kirke, Royal New Zealand Air Force, a veteran of at least 41 operational sorties prior to taking part in the Augsburg Raid, including on one, 5 November 1941, when he suffered a fractured skull and severe burns. Kirke distinguished himself during the famous low-level unescorted daylight raid on the M.A.N. diesel factory at Augsburg, 17 April 1942, when in a Lancaster piloted by ‘Ginger’ Garwell. Their Lancaster was the only one of 44 Squadron to reach the target - other than the one flown by Squadron Leader J. D. Nettleton, who was awarded the Victoria Cross for the raid. Garwell’s ‘aircraft was hit badly in the fuselage as it ran in towards the target, but Kirke, lying face down over the bomb sight in the nose, cooly directed his pilot. The aircraft lifted as its bombs went but it was streaming fire and doomed. A couple of miles out of the city Garwell found an open field and accomplished a masterly crash-landing. Four of the stunned and shaken crew, Kirke among them, stumbled from the blazing wreck. The other three died. The survivors were captured.’ Kirke was taken prisoner of war, and interned at the infamous Stalag Luft III, Sagan. He became, ‘the first member of the RNZAF to wear the dual ribbons of the D.F.C. and D.F.M...’ Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1942’, and reverse additionally engraved ‘N.Z.39864 Sgt. F. S. Kirke RNZAF’; Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (N.Z.39864. Sgt. F. S. Kirke. R.N.Z.A.F.) suspension claw re-pinned, and loose; 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; New Zealand War Service Medal, mounted as worn - the DFM in reverse, cleaned, generally nearly very fine or better (lot) £4,000-£6,000 --- D.F.C. London Gazette 5 June 1942. Jointly listed with Flying Officer 65503 A. J. Garwell, D.F.M. (for the award of the DFC), and Sergeants 778173 L. L. Dando and 999625 J. Watson (both for the award of the D.F..M.): ‘On 17th April, 1942, Flying Officer Garwell, Warrant Officer Kirke and Sergeants Dando and Watson were members of the crew of a Lancaster aircraft which took part in the daring daylight attack on Augsburg, involving a flight of some 1,000 miles across enemy territory. Soon after crossing the enemy's coast their aircraft was damaged in a running fight with 25 to 30 enemy fighters. Despite this they pressed on until the target area was reached. In the face off fierce and accurate anti-aircraft fire which further damaged the bomber and set it on fire the bombs were released on the objective. The task accomplished, it was necessary to make a forced landing in a field some 2 miles from the target. In the most harassing circumstances this very gallant crew displayed great fortitude and skill which has set a magnificent example.’ D.F.M. London Gazette 6 June 1941. The original recommendation states: ‘This N.C.O. has carried out a total of 24 operations against the enemy during the course of which he has completed 172 hours flying as Navigator. He has always shown the greatest keenness at his work. His navigation in all kinds of weather has been of the very highest order. Throughout all these operations, he has shown outstanding ability, determination and devotion to duty.’ Frank Skipworth Kirke was born in Wellington, New Zealand in March 1917, and was educated at Marlborough College, Blenheim. He enlisted in the Royal New Zealand Air Force at Ohakea as a Leading Aircraftman in October 1939, advanced to Temporary Sergeant, and embarked for the UK in April 1940. Kirke was posted for training as a Navigator to No. 12 O.T.U. in June 1940, before briefly being posted to 106 Squadron in September 1940. He was posted for operational flying to 83 Squadron, 6 October 1940, and then on to 61 Squadron, 17 March 1941. Kirke was awarded the D.F.M. for his service with 83 Squadron, and the following is given in Night After Night: New Zealanders in Bomber Command by M. Lambert: ‘On the otherhand, Kirke, 25, was vastly experienced [by the time he joined 44 Squadron - February 1942] and held the D.F.M. He’d enlisted in the RNZAF in October 1939, and by May 1941 had flown 34 ops on Hampdens, 25 with 83 Squadron, the rest with 61 Squadron. He’d been decorated after all that, the citation saying his navigation ‘has been of the very highest order’. After five months instructing he was posted to 455 Squadron, RAAF, also on Hampdens. He did four trips with 455 before surviving a nasty crash on Guy Fawkes Day 1941, which left him with a fractured skull and burns. Recovered after four months, he joined 44, completing three ops on Lancasters before the Augsburg raid.’ Kirke wrote to his sister about his investiture at Buckingham Palace, 5 October 1941: ‘There was nothing in it really. I just staggered up to the King, he stuck the medal on my chest and away I went... There was the usual crowd of sightseers floating around outside the main gates so I sailed passed in lordly disdain inside the taxi... Naturally all the women were staring at the heroes and all the fellows were wish it was over so they could go and have a beer.... All the crowd cheered and created hell so I sneaked smartly into the nearest pub and did a spot of steady drinking....’ Kirke had advanced to Flight Sergeant in September 1941, and to Warrant Officer in April 1942. He served as an instructor at No. 25 O.T.U., Finningley, at the same time as A. J. Garwell [whose D.F.C., D.F.M. group was sold as part of the Ron Penhall Collection, in these rooms in September 2006]- whom he was to be later crewed up with at 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron for the Augsburg Raid. In November 1941, Garwell joined the ‘Intensive Flying (Lancaster) Flight’ at Boscombe Down, at which establishment he flew on occasion as 2nd Pilot to Squadron Leader J. D. Nettleton, a timely encounter for before too long they would be flying alongside each other in the Lancasters of 44 Squadron and, more significantly, in the famous daylight raid on Augsburg. By that stage - April 1942 - the recently commissioned Garwell had flown two further sorties to Germany with his new unit and had very much become Nettleton’s right-hand man. On the way out to dispersal in a squadron truck for the Augsburg raid, the pair of them agreed that they would not take evasive action if attacked by fighters, but rather hold their course. As Garwell put it, “The only thing to do is press straight on and keep flat on the ground. If anyone gets crippled I suggest he throttles back and belly-lands straight ahead.” Kirke was one of two Kiwis to fly on the Augsburg Raid. The Augsburg Daylight Raid, 17 April 1942 No better account of this extremely gallant enterprise may be quoted than that written by Chaz Bowyer in For Valour, The Air VCs: ‘At 3.12 p.m. John Nettleton lifted Lancaster R5508 ‘B’ off the Waddington runway, followed by six other Lancasters from 44 Squadron. Once all were airborne and beginning to close up in tight formation, the last Lancaster to leave circled and returned to base, being simply a reserve machine to slot into any gap at the start of the sortie. The remaining six aircraft settled into two Vics of three as they drummed low across Lincolnshire heading southwards. In front Nettleton had Warrant Officer G. T. Rhodes in Lancaster L7536 ‘H’ to his left, and Flying Officer J. Garwell, D.F.M. in R5510 ‘A’ to starboard. The second Vic close behind was led by Flight Lieutenant N. Sandford in R5506 ‘P’...

Icon of the Lord Pantocrator, made in 1891 in Moscow. The icon shows a half-length image of the Lord Pantocrator in traditional iconography: with an open book in his left hand and a blessing gesture of his right hand. The image was painted by a professional master in the academic style typical of Moscow workshops of the late 19th century. The silver gilded frame is decorated with shining enamels on the crowns, fields and corners, emphasizing the high artistic level of the icon. The icon is a striking example of the neo-Russian style, combining the features of historicism and modernism in Russian art at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. Hallmarks: silversmith`s marks in Cyrillic AM, presumably Mukhin Alexander Alekseevich, hallmarks of the Moscow assayer - Oleks Lev Fedorovich - initials L.O - 1891. Dimensions: 27x22.5 cm. Historical background: Mukhin Alexander Alekseevich - owner of a silver products factory in the 2nd half of the 19th century. In 1879 there were 12 workers.

Registration No: WC 1431 Chassis No: GS 138 MOT: ExemptRare Vintage-era French cycle carSubject to an extensive restoration during the 1980sFitted with an upgraded 1,098cc OHV Chapuis-Dornier engine and four-speed gearboxEligible for events such as Vintage Montlhery and VSCC hillclimbsFounded in 1912 by Bertrand Montet, Derby was initially engaged in general engineering and after the Great War dealt in War-surplus Harley-Davidson motorcycles. From 1921, the firm began producing lightweight Voiturettes (Cyclecars) that were fitted with the Harley Davidson V-Twin motorcycle engines with which they had become so familiar. Very quickly the marque started to produce larger models and would fit these chassis with four-cylinder, overhead valve 1,098cc engines sourced from Chapuis-Dornier. Competing with the likes of Amilcar and Salmson, Automobiles Derby exhibited a British bodied 9hp 'Sports' model at the 1923 Olympia Motor Show which was a direct descendant of their 9hp Racer that had competed in the Brooklands 200 mile race. Unfortunately, Derby failed to attract much interest at the show, but it would inspire the imagination of one Vernon Balls. Balls was a Gentleman motor racer who had trained as a motor engineer and made a name for himself by purchasing the remaining stock of Mors spares, and his business would handle all repairs and servicing for the firm right up until 1923. Later in that year, on a business trip to Paris, Balls purchased an Amilcar for sporting use and saw great potential in French cyclecars in British sporting events, and merely a few years later, his firm would become the main sales agent for Derby and market them under the name 'Vernon-Derby' from 1927. The 9hp Grand Sports Special was a slightly more updated version of the 9hp Sports Model, and featured more elegant bodystyling with louvred side-panels upon the chassis, wrap-around cycle wings and a four-speed gearbox in place of the earlier three-speed unit.Dated to 1926, little is known about the early life of chassis ‘GS 138’, but it managed to survive some fifty years before its discovery by the previous owner in France in a dilapidated state during the late 1970s. According to the vendor, the previous owner was a very good friend of his who was responsible for the restoration of several interesting pre-war sports cars; but was particularly fanatical about the Derby marque. The rare sports car is said to have been found to be remarkably complete despite having been disassembled, so the decision was made to perform a full restoration which would continue throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s. A chemical engineer by trade, the previous owner had nearly every steel part treated by dipping them in vats of Jenolite Rust Converter, a process that he had sworn by on previous restorations. After treatment, the chassis and body were prepared in Red Oxide and painted in its resplendent red by a professional coach working firm, which has survived in very fine form to this day, testament to the rust treating process that the restorer swore by.Mechanically, the Derby was treated to the same level of attention and a full overhaul was performed on the four-cylinder Chapuis Dornier engine, which was re-bored and fitted with new pistons whilst the crankshaft was re-ground and mounted within freshly white-metalled bearing shells. The cooling system was uprated with the addition of a water pump instead of the original thermo-syphon arrangement, which fed a freshly re-cored radiator. The gearbox, front axle and back axle were completely overhauled with new components made up where necessary and the electrics were also subject to attention, with a new wiring loom fitted to power the reconditioned lighting system and period gauges set into the dashboard. Finally, a complete replacement interior was constructed with a high-quality black leather used to trim the off-set seats which is pleasingly complimentary to the red panel work.Having completed the restoration, the Derby would remain in the previous owner’s possession up until 2019 as part of his private collection and was used sparingly whilst being maintained to a very high standard. The vendor, a long-term fan of pre-war cars and motorcycles himself would acquire it directly from the previous owner to join several interesting stablemates (including another Derby). Described by the present owner as having survived in ‘very good to excellent’ condition all round, old age has unfortunately now forced his hand with his decision to sell.A rarity on the open market, this Derby 9hp Gran Sport is fully registered for use in the UK and presents as an interesting alternative to better known French cyclecar brands for either competition use in the many events that it is eligible for, or perhaps it would make a very eye-catching talking point as part of a private collection.

Registration No: T916 BPO Chassis No: WDB2020262F839319 MOT: October 2025Residing in single ownership since 2002Just c.72,000 miles from newFinished in the vibrant and attractive colour combination of Vivianite Green paintwork with Black cloth interiorDesirable Sport modelMercedes-Benz's internal designation for its compact saloon from 1993-2000, was W202. As the first generation of the C-Class, replacing the 190 series/W201 in June 1993, the C-Class sedan was Mercedes' entry-level model until 1997, when the company launched the A-Class. Production reached 1,847,382 over model years 1994–2000. The C240's displacement was enlarged from 2.4L to 2.6L in the last four years of production, but output remained at 168hp. Four distinctive trim levels were offered, Classic, Elegance, Esprit and Sport. The Sport featured lowered and uprated suspension, alloy wheels, sport seats, a carbon effect dash, leather rimmed steering wheel and a sunroof, being aimed at the more sporting driver.Manufactured in 1999, the C240 Sport offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered on the 30th June that year. Specified from new with the air conditioning, outside temperature sensor, electric windows all round, speakers front and rear, outside temperature indicator, front folding armrest and the Sports package, the Mercedes is finished in the rare and desirable Vivianite Green with Black cloth interior upholstery. Entering into current registered ownership in January 2002 (although equating to two registered keepers due to the transfer from business to private keeper), the C240 is offered now having covered a modest c.72,000 miles. Starting readily and running and driving well during our recent photography session, the Sport is accompanied by a history file including a 'no advisory' MOT until October 2025.

Registration - JSL 457Chassis No. - AN527803M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 16,775‘JLS 457’ looks every bit the archetypal small and nippy 1950’s British sports car in its Old English White livery with crimson hood and interior. ‘JLS 457’ has benefitted from a full, body off, seemingly diligent restoration as well as recent expenditure in the region of £10,000. Despite ‘JLS 457’s’ 65 years it has passed through the hands of just eight keepers to date. The current owner acquired ‘JLS 457’ in October 2019 and records show that only around 1,000 miles have been covered in the last 10 years. With a new double duck hood (and the original), a zipped tonneau cover and full MOT exemption and zero rated road tax, ‘JLS 457’ is a highly useable example of the fabled “Frogeye” Sprite.The Austin Healey Sprite was designed as a low cost, entry level sports car costing just £669 and marketed as a car "a chap could keep in his bike shed.” Its stock has risen considerably in the intervening years with it becoming a much loved staple of the classic car scene. ‘JLS 457’ represents the fully restored end of the spectrum. With a documented previous body-off restoration ‘JLS 457’ seems to present beautifully throughout. Every type of prevailing weather seems catered for with a new crimson hood, the original black PVC item and a crimson, zipped tonneau cover. The interior seems delightfully original with just a modicum of use-related patina in evidence. The box pleated bucket seats exhibit just a few age-appropriate creases and a little wear to the matching piping.The current owner reports significant recent expenditure, around £10,000, so the mechanical condition of ‘JLS 457’ is thought to be very sound. Power is provided by the perennial 948cc A-series engine used across so many BMC vehicles. In the Sprite it benefits from twin 11⁄8 inch SU carburettors and would have originally been good for around 43 bhp. In a car weighing around just 670 kgs, this makes for some surprisingly competitive road dynamics, some may call it “sprightly.” Complete with a generous and informative paperwork archive.In summary:· A charming Sprite benefitting from a full, body-off restoration· Offering a high level of all important originality· Registered as an Historic Vehicle, so MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax
Registration - PJI 6757Chassis No. - SCBZS0007HCH21188M.O.T. - March 2025Odometer - 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 and a detailed and well documented provenance including 18 service stamps and original manuals and book pack. 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. Two service books with a total of 18 stamps between them and lots of supporting bills and invoices also bodes well for ‘PJI6757’s’ mechanical condition.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· Complete with a generously documented service history
Registration - GVM 9EChassis No. - 23923M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 25,000‘GVM 9E’ is a superb looking example of Volvo’s svelte coupe, made famous by Roger Moore’s “The Saint” television series. ‘GVM 9E’ has reportedly enjoyed a “no expense spared” restoration and light resto-modding in previous ownership. The previous keeper was thought to have spent over £40,000, during an ownership that spanned 33 years! The current keeper acquired ‘GVM 9E’ in 2022 and it is offered here with NO RESERVE. One of the later, and more desirable Swedish built cars (the non-S models were built under license by Jensen in West Bromwich), ‘GVM 9E’ is offered with a literal box full of paperwork and invoices and numerous valuable spare parts.The previous owner treated ‘GVM 9E’ to a tasteful level of popular resto-modding during the restoration. The curvaceous Pelle Petterson design has accepted these rather well and ‘GVM 9E’s’ dark metallic grey livery lends it an additional level of modernity and presence. A bumper delete and Petterson’s vestigial rear fins lends the car the look of something Batman might drive when he is off duty. The fitment of a set of 15-inch, Minilite style alloy wheels rounds of the look perfectly. ‘GVM 9E’ also benefits from a Webasto style folding fabric sunroof.The crimson hue of the sporty cabin contrasts perfectly with the exterior treatment. The slimline, folding front seats have clearly benefitted from a professional retrim in supple looking, bright leather. The rear occasional seats are no less pristine and fresh looking. Complimentary red carpets are fitted. The dashboard fascia is finished in a machined alloy and the original gauge set and steering wheel are present and brimming with 1960’s character and charm.For 1967 the P1800S B18 engine was uprated to a competitive 115 bhp and we presume that is what ‘GVM 9E’ is fitted with. This is mated to a four speed manual gearbox with an electrically actuated D-Type Laycock de Normanville overdrive. It is worth remembering that the world record for the highest mileage car is still held by Irv Gordon’s 1966 Volvo P1800S.In summary:· Stunning, lightly “restomod” look· A reported £40,000 spent in previous 33 year ownership· Complete with huge paperwork archive and numerous spares
Registration - FJ06 JJYChassis No. - WAPRS34005PE50297M.O.T. - April 2025Odometer - 155,000This striking silver 2006 Alpina Z4 Roadster S is a rare and desirable two-seater that definitely offers enthusiasts something a bit different. Number 297 of just 370 built (as recorded by a plaque inside), it was supplied new by Sytner, and is finished in Titanium Silver with black mohair soft-top plus a black leather interior with stitching in the Alpina colours of blue and green. Bespoke Alpina features include the seats, steering wheel, carpets, door sills and blue instrument dials. Outside, it has 19-inch alloy wheels in Alpina’s trademark deign, plus front and rear spoiler and, underneath, bespoke suspension. ‘FJ06JJY’ comes with all the original handbooks, service schedules, spare key, locking wheel nut, warning triangle and a comprehensive file of maintenance documents and invoices. It has evidence of being serviced almost annually since 2006. The most recent service and MOT was in April 2024. The vendor describes the hand-built engine, which has an Alpina-specific crankshaft and cylinder head, Mahle pistons and a stainless-steel Boysen exhaust, as being in ‘excellent’ condition, with ‘good’ bodywork, paintwork and interior. The car also comes with a generous level of standard equipment including electric seats, climate control and Dynamic Traction Control. The Alpina Z4 Roadster S was derived from the E85 BMW Z4. Like all Alpinas, it was custom-built from a BMW body-in-white – it was derived from the Z4 3.0i but received thousands of Alpina-specific modifications. The hand-built engine was enlarged to 3.4 litres, producing 300bhp, and combined with a ZF six-speed manual gearbox. 0-62mph takes just 5.1 seconds and it has a top speed of 159mph. A very rare machine, it was only built between 2003 and 2007, with 370 cars built in total – of which just 167 came to the UK. In summary:Ultra-rare Alpina Z4 Roadster S number 297 of 370Very comprehensive service history covers almost every year since 2006Highly collectable Alpina two-seater
Registration - G11 VOWChassis No. - SCBZS00AXLCH32946M.O.T. - August 2025Odometer - 63,000With its delightfully appropriate personalised registration number, ‘G11 VOW’ has been doing sterling service as wedding transport since January 2021. This archetypal wedding head turner is being offered with NO RESERVE and comes complete with its personalised registration plate which itself is worth several hundreds of pounds. The current keeper is ‘G11 VOW’s’ twelfth with a very sensible 63,781 miles having been covered to date. The Mulsanne S shares many enhancements with the range topping Turbo R model making ‘G11 VOW’ well equipped and appointed even by exalted Bentley standards. Complete with an advisory free MOT valid until August 2025, ‘G11 VOW’ comes with copious maintenance records back to the 1990’s.‘G11 VOW’ today presents in bright Polar White livery, updated from the original red hue in 2010. The condition appears to be very sound with the current keeper reporting no dents or dings. The quad, round headlamps and turbine style, 15-inch alloy wheels are hallmarks of the Mulsanne’s ‘S’ specification. The latter are fitted with a matching set of 70 profile Nexen tyres to help insulate brides and grooms from the dreaded potholes still further. The sublime and commodious cabin is awash with Parchment Conolly hides, deep lambswool carpets in Cherry Red and varnished burr walnut veneers. It’s a heady combination and presents nicely and conducive to ‘G11 VOW’s’ sensible mileage. Electric everything is order of the day and there is a contemporary Alpine head unit fitted – presumably playing “Chapel of Love” on repeat.‘G11 VOW’ utilises the long serving 6.75-litre, V8, L-series engine. Optimised for refinement and whaftability rather than raw power, the robust unit still endows the Bentley with an impressive turn of speed if and when needed.

Registration - LA51 BXBChassis No. - WDB2200732A266205M.O.T. - May 2025Odometer - 114,038‘LA51 BXB’ represents a rare example of the performance variant of the popular W220 S-class. Being an early example of the breed, ‘LA51 BXB’ is one of the much scarcer, in the UK, naturally aspirated 5.5-litre V8 iterations of this autobahn express. With 360 bhp originally on tap, ‘LA51 BXB’ could hit 60 mph in under six seconds yet cosset and pamper its occupants with the best. ‘LA51 BXB’ is now in the hands of its twelfth keeper with 114,038 miles covered to date. With some cosmetic repairs thought to have been undertaken during 2023, ‘LA51 BXB’ is offered here with NO RESERVE and in a well looked after condition. Complete with an MOT valid until May 2025, two keys (only one unlocks the car but both start it), original book pack, ample service paperwork and spare wheel.The big W220 S-Class executive car suited the AMG treatment surprisingly well. By modern AMG standards, ‘LA51 BXB’s’ exterior enhancements are surprising subtle and eminently tasteful. There are a pair of big, oval AMG embossed chrome tailpipes, AMG badging and the original set of 18-inch, deeper rimmed, five spoke AMG monobloc wheels. These do exhibit a little surface corrosion but are charmingly original. Inevitably there are a few minor dings and a few paint bubbles around the bodywork, but it all appears commensurate with ‘LA51 BXB’s” age and mileage. The commodious cabin is significantly sumptuous, however, and replete with every enhancement Mercedes-Benz and AMG of 2001 could muster. The black leather comes in perforated, ruched and smooth varieties and the front seats are electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated. The rear passengers even enjoy their own fold down, fully illuminated vanity mirrors. Even the rear seats are heated, ventilated and electrically adjustable. An early satellite navigation system is fitted, and the very 2001 Nokia car phone has its own home in the front armrest.Along side that AMG fettled V8, the technical specification includes uprated and larger discs and callipers, Active Body and Active Level Control courtesy of active dampers. A rarely seen example on our shores and certainly one for modern classic, uber saloons.In summary:· Presenting in a good condition for the age and mileage· Seemingly admirably original with an impressively equipped and presented cabin· Complete with a long MOT and ready to luxuriate in immediately
There was, in the early days of the Ford Escort, a higher performance version for rallying and racing. The Mk. I Escorts became very successful as a rally car and eventually went on to become one of the most successful rally cars of all time. The Ford works team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s; arguably the Escort's greatest victory was in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally being driven by Finnish legend Hannu Mikkola. This gave rise to the famous Escort Mexico special edition road versions in honour of the rally car. The Mexico was built at Ford's Advanced Vehicle Operations (AVO) facility located at the Aveley Plant in South Essex. As well as higher performance engines and sports suspension, these models featured strengthened bodyshells, making them an ideal model for rallying. Today, Mk. I Escorts are still popular in the amateur rally scene.The car we have here is fresh from an extensive restoration overseen by our enthusiast vendor, who has left virtually no stone unturned throughout the process. The car presents in absolutely excellent condition and is truly just as clean underneath as it is on top. Our vendor is a member of the AVO Owner’s club and has been a long-term enthusiast of these cars, so he has thoroughly enjoyed restoring this example back to its former glory, but a downsizing of house and workshop space means it is now time to sell the car, fresh from completion of a circa seven-year nut and bolt restoration to concours quality. The car was originally built in June 1973 and specified in Sebring Red, which it still wears today, this is confirmed by its AVO plate, present in the engine bay. This restoration has been carried out to ensure the car is as close to factory specification as possible in all departments, the only change we can see is a stainless-steel exhaust system including manifold, which looks beautiful in the engine bay. The restoration of this car has been extremely comprehensive, the body has been totally stripped and etch primed and repainted with new front wings fitted. Supplied to auction with a V5C registration document and a history file containing some old invoices and magazines, we are also advised it will be presented for an MoT prior to the auction, though it is exempt due to its age. Viewing would be highly recommended to fully appreciate the amount of work that has been carried out, this is a genuine AVO built Mexico which is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.

Restoration project1.8 litre exampleBy the late 1960s, both Volkswagen and Porsche were in need of new models; Porsche was looking for a replacement for their entry level 912, and Volkswagen wanted a new range topping sports coupé to replace the Volkswagen Type 34 Karmann Ghia coupé. Volkswagen needed to contract out one last project for Porsche to fulfil and decided to make the 914 that project. Ferdinand Piëch, who was head of research and development at Porsche, was put in charge of it. On March 1, 1968, the first 914 prototype was presented and production was ended in 1976. All engines were placed amidships in front of a version of the 1969 911's ‘901’ gearbox and for 1974, the 1.7 L engine was replaced by an 85bhp, 1.8 litre.This 1.8 litre example of the 914 we believe was initially delivered to Vermont in the US but in 1991 was imported to the UK. Photos from the 90’s and invoices in the history file shows that the car was restored and continuously MoT’d until 2000 as found in the history file. It has of late been stored under a tarpaulin but has suffered from the exposure to the weather. It is currently a non-running project that will require full restoration but could be a great project for any 914 enthusiast.

Official Porsche Classic Restoration exampleRecently magazine featuredVolkswagen's decision not to proceed with their designed-by-Porsche 914 replacement led to the latter taking on the project themselves. Launched in November 1975, the resulting 924 drew heavily on Volkswagen/Audi components: the two-litre, four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine being a development of the Audi 100's, and the four-speed transaxle a VW unit. A five-speed Porsche-designed gearbox and improvements to the suspension were early developments, and in 1978 came the first truly high-performance 924 - the Turbo. The latter's extra 45bhp raised top speed to around 150mph.First registered on 1st July 1980, this 924 had travelled some 96, 000 miles when the car was selected to participate in a nationwide competition run by Porsche. This well-documented concours level restoration was carried out in-house at the official Porsche centre to compete against the country’s other official dealers. There was an edge to this friendly competition with each official workshop keen to show the nation they were superior!Three main philosophies drove Porsche Centre Bournemouth’s publicised account of the restoration: to find a car that needed the most attention in all areas, to find a rare model and to retain the integrity of the original car. They state that to achieve their third objective, it was imperative to approach the restoration methodically, beginning with a complete vehicle strip-down and assessment of the interior, bodywork and mechanical work required.With a comprehensive bare metal repaint in the original Guards Red and a subsequent complete nut/bolt rebuild restoration, documented photographically and together with corresponding Porsche invoices included within its history file. An understated 550+ man-hours, this Porsche 924 Turbo must be the best example in the world. Should anyone look to replicate and use official Porsche workshop labour complete with all genuine Porsche-supplied parts, this restoration would have an estimated cost more than £150,000.After completion, Porsche recreated the original 1979 advert using this car and a framed copy of each sits neatly with the full photographic restoration folder and extensive invoice file on display. The car remained the property of the Official Porsche Centre Bournemouth until 2021, proudly displayed in their state-of-the-art showroom before moving to a private collection from which it is offered today. Having only covered minimal miles since the restoration, this rare 924 remains in exemplary condition and would fit into any serious Porsche collection.

He told me that, some years before, he was living in California and happened to have in his possession two 210mm Schneider lenses. He phoned Peter Gowland who was at that time in his nineties and asked him if he still had any Gowlandflex bodies. Peter said that yes he had four of five still and, in view of his age, was quite willing to sell one and invited the Australian to bring himself and his two lenses over. They had a very pleasant conversation while Peter fitted the lenses onto one of the very last model Gowlandflex bodies. Peter Gowland passed away in 2010.

The elephant and castle provenance mark is indicative of being issued by the "Royal African Company of England" as it had been so reconstructed by the Duke of York from 1672.

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.

Not only did it share the name of one of the company's popular 1960's saloons, but the Geoff Lawson styling appeared to have been heavily influenced by an array of iconic Jaguar models from the same era - not least the immortal MKII.The V8 engine produces close to 300hp and the trim level includes heated front screen, sat nav and electric powered and heated front seats.OPW had a major service in September at 110,327 miles which included rear discs and pads, and a full set of tyres in 2021.
