Bulova: A military issue wristwatch Model: A-11 Date: Circa 1944 Movement: 16 Jewel Cal.10AK CHS manual wind Dial: Black, white Arabic numerals, 'railroad' outer minutes track, centre seconds, luminous hands Case: Chromium-plated tonneau form, screw-down back stamped 'Type A-11 Spec No. 94-27834', inner cover, pull-out crown Strap/Bracelet: Associated black leather Closure: Steel buckle Size: 32mm Footnote:The Type A-11 was introduced in 1942, with three American watchmakers being commissioned — Elgin, Waltham, and Bulova — following U.S. Government specifications. Although these three brands were already making watches for the military, the Government determined that a more robust, more accurate wristwatch was needed for the United States’ entry into the war.Many thousands of the Type A-11 were produced for the infantry and paratroopers, designed and built to be solid and reliable. As with other military watches, the emphasis was on mechanics above looks, requiring a manual-wound and hackable movement (to time precise military operations), a centre seconds hand, and a shock-proof acrylic crystal. Because they were manufactured during the war, cases were typically made of chromium-plated brass for higher corrosion resistance but also because steel was reserved for munitions and vehicles.To be as robust as possible, the movements used 16 jewels to reduce wear and tear on the main gears caused by perpetual friction and were built to withstand extreme use. The Elgins were powered by the calibre 539, the Walthams by a 6.0 Premier movement, and the Bulovas, as with the present lot, by the calibre 10AK CHS. Condition:Case and back: Heavily scratched. Plating worn with the base metal showing through in places.Crystal: Typical abrasions but has been polished. Small bruise to the edge at 5.Dial: Good with clear indices. Tiny mark on minutes track at 5.Hands: Tarnishing and craquelure to lume.Strap: Heavily worn and grimed.Movement: Winds, sets and runs. Unable to access movement to inspect as dust cap is sealed in by vulcanised gasket.Accompaniments: None present.Unless otherwise stated, all watches are likely to have been serviced and/or repaired in their lifetime and may have had parts replaced. While a watch may be described as 'working' at the time of the report, they are not guaranteed for timekeeping, mechanical durability or waterproofing (where applicable) - it is advised that all watches are inspected and serviced by a qualified jeweller or horologist before full use. The cost of servicing can be significant and so we strongly advise obtaining a quote before placing your bid.

Registration No: SXS 579 Chassis No: S1E132674 MOT: ExemptFitted with rare wheel trims and pleasingly still retains its original air filterCurrent ownership since 2016Benefitting from 12v electrics and fuel pumpSubject to a bodywork repaint in current ownershipUnveiled in 1935, the Morris Eight was better equipped than most of its competitors and boasted electric wipers, synchromesh on the upper two gearbox ratios and effective Lockheed hydraulic brakes. The range included both Two- and Four-Seat Tourers and was powered by a Morris UB series 918cc four-cylinder side-valve engine with three-bearing crankshaft and single SU carburettor with maximum power of 23.5bhp.First registered on 2nd February 1937, this attractive Tourer has been in current ownership since 2016 and has only 2 former keepers recorded on the V5C. Finished in Maroon with a Black hood tonneau, this example is fitted with rare wheel trims and pleasingly still retains its original air filter. The weather gear comprises of the soft-top hood and a set of side screens . Cosmetically, the bodywork has been subject to a repaint in current ownership, whilst mechanically the Tourer is fitted with a 4-speed gearbox, however, the old 3-speed unit accompanies the car to the sale. Also benefitting from a conversion to 12v electrics there is also an electric fuel pump fitted. It is offered with older invoices on file, an old buff logbook, some old MOT history, the original operation manual and the current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: SFO 926 Chassis No: 57104809 MOT: ExemptIn current ownership since 2008Subject to new paintwork throughout the bodyFitted with 'Bikini' top and rear tonneau coverThe Land Rover’s 1595cc, 50bhp four-cylinder Rover engine might seem under-powered today, but its 80lb-ft of torque was impressive. There was permanent four-wheel drive, leaf-sprung suspension and not much else for your £450 when it was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948. Any kind of extra equipment came at an additional cost, but the orders started to come in. The very first Land Rover registered was one of the Amsterdam Motor Show cars on 21 May 1948, and full production began at Solihull shortly after. Rover soon saw that the vehicle’s appeal went beyond expectations. In 1949 the British Army placed its first order. It wanted 1,878; so many, that the decision was made to paint all Land Rovers in the Army’s Dark Green and they saw their first action the following year, in the Korean War. The Red Cross ordered its first Land Rovers in 1954, and its relationship with the marque endures to this day.In 1954, Solihull made its 100,000th Land Rover and by the time the Series I was replaced in 1958, nearly 200,000 had been produced. With 70 per cent exported, the principles that Maurice Wilks first sketched in the sand at Red Wharf Bay in Anglesey had been put into practice across the world.This Series 1, from 1955, has resided in current ownership since 2008. In that time the current vendor has refreshed the look of 'SFO 926' with new paintwork throughout the body. The wheels have also been refurbished and repainted. Currently wearing a recently added 'Bikini' top; light and open enough for summer driving, the Series 1 is also offered with a full canopy frame without the fabric and a rear tonneau cover. Inside, new seats have also been added in the vehicle's current ownership. 'SFO 926' is offered with a V5C document.

Registration No: KVN 335 Chassis No: TF4373 MOT: July 2025Registered on Mille Miglia Registro with FIVA Identity CardAccepted on to the 2024 Mille MigliaDesirable home market and original right-hand drive example in its original colour schemeSupplied with a comprehensive restoration to an excellent standard in 1984Last of the MG T-series line, the TF was introduced in October 1953. Although mechanically near identical to its TD predecessor, the provision of a raked radiator, revised wing line and faired-in headlamps lent it an altogether sleeker and sportier air. Powered by a revised version of the well-proven, four-cylinder XPAG engine but this time using larger valves, a higher compression ratio and twin SU 1.5in carburettors, the new model was reputedly capable of over 80mph. Equipped with both rack-and-pinion steering and independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, it helped maintain the marque's 'Safety Fast' reputation. Around 6,200 TF1250s were made, followed by 3,400 1500s.Despatched new on the 30th March 1954, chassis ‘TF4373’ is a desirable original right-hand drive, home market example which is pleasingly presented in its original colour scheme of Red paintwork with Red interior upholstery. Treated to a restoration to concours standard in 1984 by Hartwells Garages Ltd of Oxfordshire to showcase the skills of their apprentices, it was then sold to a local gentleman who owned the TF for the next 22 years. Provided with a full engine overhaul by specialists Brown & Gammons (costing over £2,300) in 2001, this included the cylinder head being converted to run unleaded fuel. A stainless-steel exhaust system was also fitted in the same year, along with much further improvement.Entrusted to MG specialist Peter Edney in 2006 for a five-speed gearbox conversion, ‘KVN 335’ also received an overhaul of the carburettors; new water pump; new rear springs; new wheel bearings; new fuel pipes and water hoses; and cosmetic refresh to the sum of c.£5,600 at this time. In long-term (17-year) previous ownership the MG was lightly used covering 4,660 miles during this time. Purchased by the vendor to use on the Mille Miglia, the vendor completed the registration process and therefore the TF is on the Registro and is the only UK-based MG TF currently on the register. Accepted into the 2024 Mille Miglia, it was placed on the Waiting List but did not compete and would need converting back to the four-speed gearbox to compete.Offered now with a history file that includes the BMIHT Heritage Certificate, invoice for Mille Miglia Registro payment, FIVA Identity Card, operation manual, large collection of invoices, and current V5C document. Riding on a set of chrome wire wheels shod with a matching set of Firestone tyres with plenty of tread, the TF also features a chrome luggage rack, wood rim MotaLita steering wheel, tool roll and Black hood, tonneau cover and sidescreens. Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session, the MG boasts possession of a 'no advisory' MOT certificate until July 2025. Ready for its new owner to use, whether for use on British roads or as a great option for the new owner to compete in the prestigious Mille Miglia event.

Registration No: EVG 790H Chassis No: GHN5442391G MOT: ExemptBenefits from a replacement Ivor Searle engineFitted with electronic ignition and a chrome bumper conversionDisplays a credible c.96,000 miles and current ownership since 2019The MG A had really been the first 'BMC corporate' MG, and the MG B which replaced it was intended to be even more popular. Although the engineering of the new car was evolutionary - the B Series engine, transmission, rear axle and independent front suspension were all improved versions of those used in the previous MG A. The first incarnation of the MG B built from 1962 to April 1965 featured distinctive pull-type door handles and a 95bhp/1798cc engine with three-main-bearing crankshaft and while overdrive was an optional extra, the model's top speed was more than 100mph. Today, it enjoys a very strong following and with its GT sister has spawned a dedicated support industry. For many, the early chrome-bumper MG B Roadster is the epitome of the classic British sports car. When the MG B replaced the MG A in 1962, the main change was the use of a lower and wider steel monocoque bodyshell rather than a separate chassis and body, and a larger 1798cc engine instead of the 1498cc power unit fitted to the MG A. The other major changes to the model were a new grille and an all-synchromesh gearbox on the 1967-launched MkII, whilst American Federal-compliant black rubber instead of chrome bumpers further changed the appearance from 1974.First registered in August 1977, the vendor has owned the car for 5 years, with the MG B currently displaying a credible c.96,000 miles on the odometer. Finished in an iconic Green, prior to the current ownership, the car has been subject to a replacement Ivor Searle engine, completed some 12-15 years ago, with the factory gearbox with overdrive on 3rd and 4th gear. As is quite common these days, the rubber impact bumpers have been backdated to the earlier chrome bumpers, and the keen sighted will have noted the Roadster wears an earlier registration number, having been changed to an age-related 1970 number to complement the period of chrome bumper MG Bs, we believe, by a previous keeper. The dashboard remains in 1977 specification.Thought to have been subjected to rust preventative treatment underneath, some 6 to 7 years ago, the Roadster also benefitted from having electronic ignition fitted in the last year, to aid a healthy spark and more reliable cold starts. At the time of consignment, the radio cassette player worked fine. It is offered with a V5C and a full tonneau.

Some time since, the carburettors were renewed and a stainless-steel exhaust fitted. With the iconic Red MG B paintwork presenting well, the open bodywork is said to be still good . The Black interior is reported to be in a good condition, as is the Black soft-top and tonneau, whilst mechanically, the clutch, engine and gearbox (with overdrive) have been refreshed by the vendor. Also seeing some improvement through remedial work is the electrical system. Accompanied by receipts from previous ownership, relating to the older restoration, this B Roadster also benefits from a very recent MOT, a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Dating Certificate and a current V5C.

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

The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production until February 1971. An all-new design by Paul Bracq to replace the 190 SL and 300 SL Roaster. The 280 SL had a powerful 2.8 litre version of Mercedes inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection. To save on weight the bonnet, boot lid and tonneau cover were all composed of aluminium. The nickname 'Pagoda' was quickly adopted thanks to the slightly concave roof on the optional removable hardtop that resembled a pagoda roof. The comparatively short and wide chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful disc brakes and radial tyres gave the W113 superb handling for its time. These roadsters also have one of the most beautiful bodies produced in the 1960s. The styling of the front paid homage to the legendary 300 SL with its characteristic upright Bosch ‘fishbowl’ headlights and simple chrome grille, dominated by the large three-pointed star in the nose panel.This left hand drive example of this iconic German classic was imported from the US in 2016 and was then repainted in the white which you see today. Its interior, which we believe to be original but cannot confirm, is red MB Tex and is in good condition. Its 2.8 engine is mated to a manual gearbox and we are informed it runs well. The car comes with its factory hardtop which is also in good condition and this Pagoda is priced very reasonably compared to many similar classic Mercedes-Benz and can be used every day or to tour in Europe. Either way this is a stylish sports car and still turns heads on our roads today. Consigned by Dominic Lake. FACTORY HARDTOPDESIRABLE 280 EXAMPLE
The 1960 Sunbeam Alpine series II is a classic British sports car known for its sleek design and spirited performance. Manufactured by the Rootes Group, it featured a compact body with elegant lines and a distinctive convertible top. The series II featured an engine that was enlarged over its predecessor to a 1.6 litre four-cylinder unit producing 80 bhp. It offered a blend of agility and style, making it popular among driving enthusiasts. The Alpine’s lightweight construction contributed to its nimble handling, while its interior, though simple, provided a comfortable experience for drivers and passengers alikeThis attractive Series II example was originally registered in November 1960 and presents wonderfully in Lake Blue with a red interior. This Alpine is fitted with overdrive and has recently benefitted from a new vinyl roof, hardware for the tonneau, new door cards and exhaust. Also present is a rare factory hardtop. This classic convertible is part of a deceased estate and as such, has not been driven for a few years during which time we are informed that it has, it always been garaged. On a recent inspection, it started first time and ran well. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, a buff logbook and an original sales brochure. With its charming aesthetics and fun driving dynamics, it is easy to see why the Sunbeam Alpine was the original car of choice for James Bond in Dr No where we see Sean Connery driving a Lake blue example in Jamaica.

Caterham relaunched the Series 3 model in 1974 featuring the Lotus Twin Cam and Ford Crossflow engine options after Graham Nearn bought the tooling from Colin Chapman in 1973 initially building Series 4 cars before reverting to the classic styling of the Series 3.This 1980 example is a rare early survivor for which the original purchase invoice is in the history file. Offered in its original classic colour combination of Lotus green and yellow the Caterham comes with its original registration number! Purchased by a previous owner in 2020 who found the car in Italy requiring restoration. A father and son repatriated it to the UK whereupon the chassis was sent to Arch Motors who were responsible for constructing the original chassis. They repaired and re-skinned the chassis using the correct jig. Invoices are on file for this work as well as more recent work by them to lower the floors and convert it to 'long cockpit' specification. Fitted with a 1700cc Ford Crossflow engine utilising a Mexico block in order for a five-speed gearbox to fit the engine. Offered with a recent MoT with no advisories and fitted with a new genuine Caterham tonneau cover and five new Yokohama tyres, amongst other recent maintenance work, the invoice totalling £3,408! As such the vendor reports that the Caterham drives very well indeed and is ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian and is on the button producing approximately 130 bhp. The general condition of the car is very good, the paintwork is in good order with very few blemishes to show and the interior is in fine fettle.The current vendor purchased the vehicle as a fun and mechanically uncomplicated car which would also be eligible, due to its age, for many classic car rallies. This is a superb opportunity to snap up a rare early survivor. The lowered floors make this a very desirable proposition and having recently been treated to much maintenance work the Caterham is ready to be enjoyed immediately.

There is little doubt that Paul Bracq’s design for the Sixties 1960s pagoda was revolutionary and his ability to mix timeless styling with high performance on three different levels was impressive. The entry level version used the 2.3 litre engine followed by the 2.5 and finally the most desirable and spirited 2.8 litre, six-cylinder engine. The bonnet panel, door skins, boot lid and tonneau cover were composed of aluminium giving the car an overall lightness which contributed to the performance that was very well received by the general public. It quickly became apparent that some cars don't change, they just get better. The 280 featured the same modified W111 chassis with independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. A charming model with capable handling, these roadsters have had one of the most sublime styling bodies, and easily comparable to Jaguar’s E-Type and the Alfa Romeo’s Spider. The driving experience and build quality are respected, and as a result, still highly collectable today.This very good, left-hand drive 1971 Mercedes Benz 280 SL Pagoda was imported to the UK in 2021 from California where it is believed to have had only two owners from new. Supplied with an automatic gearbox and matching factory hard top, it has been retro fitted with air conditioning and a more modern radio. Finished in blue with blue leather interior and it has a blue soft top which will require replacing, due to a lack of use causing it to have been torn. This 280 SL is UK taxes paid and supplied with a V5 registration document. These Pagodas are always a pleasure to drive, particularly in good weather when the roof is down and the smooth six-cylinder engine can really be enjoyed.

The Bentley Continental GT was the first car released by Volkswagen AG after their acquisition of the company in 1998 and was unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, followed by Le Mans, Goodwood Festival of Speed and the annual Bentley Drivers Club meeting at Silverstone. The car differed significantly from the previous Continental R and T models in terms of its concept; although much of the car is hand-assembled, this Bentley was made in significantly larger numbers than previously. As a result, the price at launch was substantially less than the Continental R, thus exposing the car to a much wider and new customer base as a more affordable car. A Continental GTC is equipped with a 6.0 litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine and produces 603bhp with an impressive top speed of 202mph. Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive is standard.This is a stunning example, presented in Beluga with Beluga hide and piano black trim. This all black colour combination is quite rare to see on these cars and it suits it very nicely. The paintwork gleams following some machine polishing recently and the black leather interior is in excellent condition. The car was given an interim service in August 2024, adding to its comprehensive service history and judging by the overall condition of the car and its low mileage, it has clearly lived a rather cossetted life. Supplied to auction with a V5C registration document, build sheets, various invoices and service history and an MoT test certificate valid until August 2025. These cars provide such incredible value for money and this example is certainly one of the nicer ones we have seen. Consigned by Fraser Smith*Interested parties should note, the car has recently had the roof ECU replaced and a diagnosis of an operating issue has determined that there is a front hood lock switch fault, tonneau cover lock switch fault and a suspected wiring fault COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE HISTORYDESIRABLE BLACK OVER BLACK COLOUR COMBINATION
There is little doubt that Paul Bracq’s design for the Sixties 1960s pagoda was revolutionary and his ability to mix timeless styling with high performance on three different levels was impressive. The entry level version used the 2.3 litre engine followed by the 2.5 litre and finally the most desirable and spirited 2.8 litre, six-cylinder engine. The bonnet panel, door skins, boot lid and tonneau cover were composed of aluminium giving the car an overall lightness which contributed to the performance that was very well received by the general public. It quickly became apparent that some cars don't change, they just get better. The 280 featured the same modified W111 chassis with independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. A charming model with capable handling, these roadsters have had one of the most sublime styling bodies, and easily comparable to Jaguar’s E-Type and the Alfa Romeo’s Spider. The driving experience and build quality are respected, and as a result, still highly collectable today.This lovely left hand drive Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda was supplied new to Germany in 1968 with the rare manual four-speed gearbox. At some point the car was sold and went to the USA. In 2014 it was purchased by an elderly gentleman who in 2018 had the car lovingly restored at great expense but then passed away. Finished in the Mercedes-Benz racing colour scheme of silver with black interior and black soft top, this 280 SL has only recently been imported into the UK. It is supplied with V5C registration document and its data card. These Pagodas are always a pleasure to drive, particularly in good weather when the roof is down and the smooth six-cylinder engine can really be enjoyed. Consigned by John Tomlin.

Audemars Piguet. A fine and rare mid-size 18k white gold self-winding wristwatch Case No.B31317, Movement No.176027 made circa 1978 Cal.120/1 automatic movement with 18k gold lined rotor, Gyromax balance, silvered-grey dial, with applied baton markers, baton hands, sapphire crystal, polished and brushed 18k white gold tonneau shape case, on pale grey Patek Philippe strap. Case, dial and movement signed. Dim 31 x 34mm. Offered in overall excellent original condition, the case retains strong stamps to the reverse. According to the Audemars Piguet website, the Cal.120 movement was updated to Cal.120/1 in 1978, this change only included removing the Gyromax balance, as this took longer for watchmakers to adjust. This example, using movement Cal.120/1 but retaining the superior Gyromax balance, would most likely be one of the very last to do so.

Collectors thus attributing this colour combination the ‘Siffert Colours’.
