1

1 A 1981 Moto Guzzi 1000 Spada, registration number GON 972W, silver. From long term ownership, this rat look Moto Guzzi has covered a believed 42,000 miles from new. With its MOT expiring in January 2014, this motorcycle can be used immediately, but due to its well used appearance it would lend itself to the basis of a Café Racer project or restoration as time and funds allow. V5, V5C, MOT to January 2014, no current tax See illustration £500 - 700

Lot 1

2 A 1956 NSU Quickly moped, registration number WYB 340, brown. This very original NSU Quickly has only had four registered keepers and the supplying dealer from new. Originally supplied by Pankhurst (Weymouth) from their branch in Langport Somerset, to its first registered keeper Mrs Melfort of Pitney, Somerset, it would subsequently have two changes of owner who both lived in the Somerset area before being purchased by the last owner, a Mr Edwin Hicks of Embrough near Bath. It would remain in use until 1976, when the last MOT expired. It has since remained garaged and unused and will require recommissioning and light restoration after 39 years of inactivity. The moped is offered for sale with the original RF60 logbook, a continuation logbook, the last MOT certificate expiring 14th October 1977, a petrol rationing book for motorcycles not exceeding 250 cc and a Pitman’s NSU Quickly owner’s handbook.

RF60, no current MOT or tax See illustration £180 - 220

Lot 2

3 A 1978 Yamaha XS650 SE, registration number WPO 807T, black.

This Yamaha has had only one registered keeper since it was imported into the United Kingdom in 2005. WPO 807T was supplied by A.R.Motorcycles and registered to the current owner on 28th January 2005. He has used the motorcycle very sparingly during this time, covering just over 200 miles as verified by past MOTs. The motorcycle was prepared for an MOT last year by Ireland’s Motorcycles. This work included a new battery, a new front master cylinder, cleaning of the carburettors and fuel tank, replacement of the fuel tap seals, cleaning of the brake calipers and a general service (receipt on file for £500.04).

Offered for auction with past MOTs, the aforementioned receipt, dating certificate, purchase receipt and SORN. V5, V5C, no current MOT or tax See illustration £1100 - 1300

Lot 3 2

4 A 1960 Royal Enfield Meteor Minor, registration number YFF 117, maroon. A rare motorcycle in period and now an even rarer sight on today’s roads, the Meteor Minor never had the appeal of its rival 500 cc twins. It featured an over square 496 cc overhead valve vertical twin engine with separate light alloy cylinder heads and an Albion four speed gearbox. It was more than capable of keeping up with the competition and had a very respectable top speed of 98 mph when new. This Meteor was first registered on 7th March 1960 to the supplying dealer, Charles E Cope & Sons (Coventry) Ltd. and had the registration number 214 ADU. It would remain in the Coventry area until the 1970s. The current vendor acquired the motorcycle in 1995, when the original registration number was removed, and an age related plate was issued. During the next 18 years the motorcycle has been used very sparingly, only being ridden 59 miles in that time.

Accompanying the motorcycle is the original RF60, V5, V5C, two old MOT certificates dated 1995 (19,465 miles), the current MOT (19,524 miles), and an original workshop maintenance manual. RF60, V5, V5C, MOT to December 2013, tax exempt See illustration £2000 - 2500

Lot 4

5 A 1955 Triumph T20, registration number 996 FMF, blue. The Tiger Cub was introduced in 1954 and was basically a larger engined version of the previous Terrier, featuring a 199 cc four stroke engine.

This Tiger Cub has been restored and has seen little use in recent years. Due to its time in storage, it will require the usual recommissioning and safety checks before taking to the road once again. RF60, no current MOT, tax exempt See illustration £1500 - 1800

Lot 5

6 A 1963 Parilla Slughi/Ramjet, registration number 292 EBU, red.

Introduced at the 1957 Milan Show, the Slughi or Ramjet for the American market went into production in 1958, and would remain in production until 1964. This rare restoration project would appear complete and was formerly owned by the Sammy Miller Museum Trust.

Once restored this stylish rare Italian lightweight motorcycle would be a great addition to any motorcycle collection. V5C, no current MOT or tax See illustration £500 - 700 7- 9

Lot 6 3

10 A 1978 Kawasaki Z1000 LTD, registration number YTA 834S, blue. This Z1000 LTD was imported into the United Kingdom by Motorcycles Unlimited of Exeter in 1993. It had one former keeper before it was purchased by the current vendor on 30th January 2002.

During his ownership the motorcycle has seen little use, covering less than 700 miles in eleven years. Last year the Kawasaki was prepared for an MOT by Ireland’s Motorcycles. This included a full service, a new battery, new fork seals, cleaning the fuel tank, taps and carburettors and a brake overhaul with new master cylinder and rear master cylinder seals (receipt on file for £737.43). Offered for auction with past MOTs, the aforementioned receipt and V5. V5, no current MOT or tax See illustration £1400 - 1600

Lot 10

11 A 1960 AJS Model 14, registration number TKU 987, blue. This AJS was restored by a previous owner. The history file accompanying the motorcycle has a spares catalogue, a copy of an instruction book, past MOTs, Jampot magazines and other ephemera. This lightweight AJS having a current MOT and tax, is ready for the coming show season. V5C, MOT to June 2014, tax exempt See illustration £2500 - 2800

Lot 11

12 A 1958 Triumph Tiger Cub, maroon. This restored Tiger Cub has been dry stored in recent years, and will require general recommissioning and safety checks before obtaining a new MOT. Note: There is no paperwork accompanying this motorcycle See illustration £1500 - 1800

Lot 12 4

Lot 13

13 A 1959 Ariel Square Four Mk II 4G combination, current ownership since 1962, registration number WXB 534, black. This barn find, very original Square Four combination has been in the current ownership since 1962. The RF60 and correspondence between the vendor and the Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club, reveal that there were four previous keepers before Mr Batt. They were the supplying dealer George Clark Motors, Brixton Hill, London, Mr Canning, a Mr McQueen and a car dealer in Hampstead High Street, London, where Mr McQueen traded the combination in against a car and Mr Batt purchased it. Originally fitted with a double adult chair, it was replaced in favour of a new Watsonian Monza sidecar in August 1962, when Mr Batt purchased the combination for £250 on hire purchase. It would appear that Mr Batt used the combination until 1966, when it went into storage until approximately 1990 when the combination was restored and last taxed in 1992. The combination then went back into storage due to Mr Batt’s work commitments. The history file contains photocopies of the original RF60, past MOTs, receipts from Draganfly Motorcycles, correspondence with the Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club and a workshop manual. This imposing 1000 cc combination now requires general recommissioning and the usual safety check before obtaining a new MOT before taking to the road once again. V5, no current MOT, tax exempt See inside front cover and other illustration £3000 - 5000 14 A Francis Barnett Plover, green and white. This Francis Barnett has formed part of a collection of light weight motorcycles, and is partially restored. It will require final assembly and the usual safety checks before taking to the road once again. Note: There is no paperwork accompanying this motorcycle See illustration £600 - 800

Lot 14

Lot 15

15 A 1921 Ariel 3.5 hp combination, in barn find condition, registration number ST 1681, frame number 8HY3, engine number 11086, black. The Ariel concern commenced manufacturing in 1898, building De Dion engined three wheelers, four years later their first motorcycle was launched in 1902 powered by a 3.5 hp side valve four stroke White & Poppe engine. The company would remain in business until 1970, developing various machines including the mighty 1000 cc Square Four. This exciting barn find condition combination has formed part of a private collection, and is presented in remarkable original condition. First registered to a Mr Alexander Kennedy of Invernessshire on 24th January 1921. There would subsequently be two further registered owners, a Mr William MacDonald of Glen Moriston, Inverness-shire, who acquired the combination in 1926, and the current vendor who purchased the motorcycle several years ago. The Ariel is in very original condition with all of the major components being present to enable a restoration. The engine turns over freely, the frame and tinwork would appear sound with a light covering of surface rust and oily dirt. Accompanying the combination are two new wheels to replace the existing wheels on the motorcycle, but unfortunately the side car wheel is missing. Offered for auction with the original RF60, ST 1681 is ripe for sympathetic restoration and it is hoped that the new owner will retain its originality and hopefully keep it in an oily rag condition. RF60, MOT and tax exempt See inside front cover and other illustration £3000 - 5000 16 - 19 5

Lot 42

43 A 1986 Jaguar Sovereign Series III saloon, registration number A19 DBP, metallic grey.

Offered for sale with expired MOT certificates and tax discs, service receipts and handbook. V5C, no current MOT or tax See illustration £500 - 600

Lot 43

44 A 1983 Ford Fiesta Mk I Finesse, only 24,000 miles from new, registration number WBL 207Y, champagne.

Lot 44 8

45 A 1966 AEC Mandator Mk V refuelling tanker, registration number VAM 116D, naval registration number 75RN12, yellow. This Royal Navy refuelling tanker has had two private owners since being decommissioned from the Royal Navy. It is believed that the tanker saw service at RNAS Yeovilton, but further research will be necessary to verify this. One of the first batch of 13 commissioned by the Royal Navy, it is understood to be the only one currently in a road worthy condition. The current owner embarked on a full restoration between 2002 and 2008, rebuilding the cab, brakes, axles, checking over the engine, replacing the original gearbox with a six speed version which allows a 40 mph cruising speed, against the original 28 mph, a full respray in the correct RN yellow livery and numerous other components in the restoration. During the current ownership the vendor has used the tanker to attend local shows, and the odometer reading of 23,000 miles is believed to be correct, which equates to approximately 5,800 working hours. This rare commercial in show condition would grace any collection and is ready to continue its show duties. V5C, MOT to August 2013, tax exempt See illustrations £9000 - 11000

Lot 45

Lot 46

46 A circa 1949 AC Buckland sports tourer, registration number 591 YYC, old English white over metallic maroon. The AC Motor Car Company may well be best known for iconic models such as the Cobra and Ace, but they also made saloons and touring cars of great quality, using their six cylinder, two litre engine, which went through various performance improvements until 1963. The rare Buckland sports tourer was manufactured between 1948 and 1952. The chassis incorporated the six cylinder triple SU carburettor engine and the aluminium and ash body was constructed by Buckland Bodyworks, New Royston, Hertfordshire, and according to AC records there were only 84 manufactured. This rare example of an AC open tourer was subject to an older restoration which has mellowed well. The bodywork is finished in an attractive old English white over metallic maroon, and the interior is trimmed in tan leather and tan carpets with leather bound edging. The double duck hood is only in fair condition and unfortunately there are no side screens fitted. The Buckland was last on the road in 2012 and has been garaged since due to the vendors ill health. The Buckland is running and driving, but will require light recommissioning and safety checks before taking to the road once again. Unfortunately due to the vendor’s ill health, at present we have been unable to find any paperwork appertaining to the car. No V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustrations £10000 - 12000 47 - 49

Lot 50

Lot 51

50 A delivery mileage and unregistered 1979 Chrysler Talbot Sunbeam, pale blue. Produced by Chrysler between 1977 and 1981 as a direct competitor to Ford’s Escort, Vauxhall’s Chevette and Austin’s Allegro. It was only available as a three door hatchback, but had various engine options, from a humble 928 cc to the 2172 cc Lotus 16 valve twin cam. This time warp Sunbeam has recently been imported from Malta, where it has spent the last 34 years in barn storage, after two brothers had a major dispute over a car hire business and could not come to an agreement over ownership of the Sunbeam. Finished in light blue with a brown vinyl interior, which looks like it has never been sat in. The body was Ziebarted from new which has helped to preserve the structure, which is very dirty and has some paint imperfections and slight rust staining where the paint has been chipped. With only delivery mileage on the odometer and the original delivery/dispatch note, this time warp example of Chrysler’s family hatchback is worthy of being a museum exhibit or being part of a private collection. See illustration £4500 - 5500

51 A 1989 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9, registration number F428 JVM, metallic grey. This two owner from new 1.9 GTi, has been in the current ownership since 1992. Finished in metallic grey with a grey half leather and cloth interior with red carpets, she has the usual refinements of electric front windows, central locking (passenger door currently not working), power assisted steering and she sits on the correct Speedline alloy wheels, with matching Goodyear Eagle tyres all round. Supplied

by Firsway of Wigan to its first owner, a Mr Kenneth Grey of Maghull, Liverpool, who kept the car until 1st March 1992 when the vendor acquired it. The accompanying history includes all of the MOTs issued from 1993 to 2001, the original warranty/service record, extended warranty book, owners handbook, past tax discs, extended warranty card, a Philips radio cassette instruction manual, past SORNs and the original supplying dealer wallet. This original and unmolested GTi was last used in 2002, whereupon it has been garage stored. The odometer reads 151,632 recorded miles and is believed to be correct. There is a garage information sticker on the cam cover recording a cam belt change on 11/09/2002 when the mileage was 150,144. Now requiring light recommissioning and a general service, once these have been carried out, this increasingly desirable GTi will offer the next owner plenty of exhilarating and thrilling motoring. V5, V5C, no current MOT or tax See illustration £800 - 1200

52 A 1992 Ford Escort XR3i, registration number K545 GYD, silver.

The boy racer’s favourite! Ford’s XR3i has been part of Ford’s sporting heritage since 1983 when the fuel injected version of the XR3 was introduced. This fifth generation XR3i has had a lady owner since 2001.

Finished in silver with a grey cloth interior. Since 2007 the car has been barn stored, and as such it will now require general recommissioning and the usual safety checks before taking to the road once again. The car is running and has recently been fitted with a new battery. A worthwhile project, which should offer the next owner a sporting drive at a very economical price. V5C, no current MOT or tax See illustration £400 - 600

Lot 52 10

53 A 1963 Morris Minor Traveller, registration number 582 HHO, rose taupe. This tax exempt Traveller has only had two owners from new. She has recently been sympathetically recommissioned after a 30 year hibernation. Finished in the rare colour of rose taupe with a duo tone red and grey interior. The vendor informs us that she drives wonderfully and she has the early body features but benefits from the later and more lively 1098 cc engine. She retains her original transferable registration number and has some service history including old MOTs between 1973 and 1981 when she was laid up. 582 HHO offers the next owner a versatile and economical classic estate car which is capable of everyday motoring with the benefit of being able to attend classic car events, and with excellent spares availability and specialist garage maintenance she should see many years of enjoyable use. V5C, MOT to April 2014, tax exempt See illustration £2800 - 3200

Lot 53

54 A 1980 Porsche 924 Turbo, registration number MAR 852V, mocha. Introduced in 1979, the hot high performance turbo version of Porsche’s first front engined sports coupé would remain in production until 1983. Purchased by the vendor in 1986, he would enjoy the Porsche until 1995, when the car was taken off the road and put into storage. Just before its eighteen year hibernation, the seats were retrimmed in brown leather and the dashboard was replaced. The 924 will now need recommissioning and the usual safety checks before obtaining a new MOT. V5C, no current MOT or tax See illustration £450 - 550

Lot 54

55 A 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL, registration number WPO 76T, silver. The Mercedes-Benz R107 series of roadsters and coupés were in production between 1971 and 1989. Initially available with a 3.5 litre V8 engine, subsequently the V8 engines were increased in size to 4.2 litre and 5.0 litre. There would also be a 2.6 litre straight six engine version.

Always renowned for their excellent build quality, all models are now more than capable of delivering reliable, elegant daily transport. This lady owned example is finished in the traditional colour scheme of silver with a blue leather interior, and has the optional works steel hard top. The vendor informs us that the odometer reading of 72,000 miles is believed to be genuine, and there is service history for the car during the lady’s ownership. V5C, MOT to June 2014, taxed See illustration £5000 - 6000

Lot 55 11

Lot 56

56 A 1974 DAF 66 A Marathon coupé, registration number PEL 696M, Kobina red, 22,500 miles from new. This rare and charming coupé has been family owned from new. Originally purchased by the first owner, a Mr Binns of Southbourne, Bournemouth, from Four Square Garage Ltd, Eastbury Park, Bournemouth in 1974. The original order form states that the DAF cost £1,590.44 less £650.00 for Mr Binns trade in, a 1970 DAF saloon. Mr Binns retained the car until 1994, when he unfortunately passed away and his sister took possession of the car.

It was Mr Binns wish for the DAF to be put on view at Christchurch Motor Museum, this duly happened, and it would remain there and subsequently move to their new venue in Ringwood until the museum closed its doors to the public for the last time. On closure the Marathon was removed from the museum and has subsequently been recommissioned and MOT’d for the first time in 19 years.

Accompanying the car is an extensive history file containing the original order form, service book, sales brochures, past MOTs and extensive service receipts. This wonderfully original example of the rare and stylish 1970s coupé, which is a little different from the usual, would be welcomed at any classic car event and a worthy edition to any classic car collection. V5, MOT to June 2014, no current tax See illustrations £3000 - 3500

57 A 1957 MG Magnette ZB sports saloon, registration number GGL 733, maroon. The ZB replaced the ZA in 1957, improvements including increasing the power of the B series engine from 60 bhp to 64 bhp by fitting larger twin 1.5 inch SU carburettors and increasing the compression ratio from 7.1 to 8.3, which had the beneficial effect of increasing the top speed to 98 mph and the 0-60 time to 8.5 seconds.

This charming example, which is finished in a most flattering maroon with a maroon leather interior, has been restored by a previous owner.

During the current ownership and within the last year the car has benefited from having a new clutch, new radial tyres, new carpets and rewiring. The vendor informs us that the MG has been a reliable everyday classic, which has been a pleasure to own. Offered for auction with past maintenance receipts, old MOTs and V5C. V5C, MOT to July 2014, tax exempt See illustrations £7500 - 8500

Lot 57

58 A 1966 Morris Minor Traveller, registration number DOT 629D, almond green. The ever popular Sir Alec Issigonis designed Morris Minor was the first British production car to achieve one million sales, with that car rolling off the production line on 22nd December 1960.

This Traveller, finished in the popular colour of almond green with a green interior, has been with the current vendor since 2006. She has recently benefited from having new wooden panels, a reconditioned dynamo and new battery. There is a good history file containing receipts from the present and previous owners, and past MOTs. This charming and well maintained Traveller would make an excellent starter classic, with easy to maintain running gear and very versatile and commodious estate bodywork. V5C, MOT to September 2014, tax exempt See illustration £3400 - 3600

Lot 58

59 A circa 1957 Land Rover Series I SWB restoration project, registration number NJB 813, olive green. Discovered on a Welsh hill farm, NJB 813 had laid undisturbed for nearly thirty years, until she was removed from her resting place to allow for the erection of a new barn.

An exciting restoration project or source of increasingly rare spare parts. During her lay up she has unfortunately lost her front passenger side wing, rear tailgate and canvas tilt. The remaining body panels appear very straight and undented, which is quite unusual as the aluminium is quite vulnerable to knocks. The engine and gearbox are present, as are the roof hoops and doors. The Land Rover unfortunately doesn’t have any accompanying paperwork, so she will require re-registering with the DVLA. A worthwhile restoration project of an increasingly desirable model. No accompanying paperwork See illustration £600 - 800

Lot 59

60 A 1938 Jowett 8 hp open four seat tourer special, registration number AJY 509, chassis number 848101, green. The British motoring scene is renowned for creating specials from otherwise unwanted chassis and engines, restyling them with new bodywork into something a little more interesting and sporting. This Jowett tourer special is just such a car. The builder of this special took the chassis, engine and running gear from an 8 hp saloon and has created a four seater tourer in the vintage tradition. The body is constructed with steel front and rear cycle type wings, running boards and an ash frame with marine ply panels. The special is running and driving but will require further fettling due to over ten years of inactivity. At present there is not a V5C, but there is a letter on file from the Jowett Owners Club confirming the chassis and registration numbers. This should aid the registering of the car for the next owner. A worthwhile project which once recommissioned will offer the next owner a distinctive open tourer.

65 A 1955 Rolls Royce Silver Dawn, registration number 487 YUH, chassis number SVJ 109, engine number S119J, Masons black over Shell grey. SVJ 109 is a matching numbers car with continuous history.

Rolls Royce agents Rippon Bros Ltd delivered this Silver Dawn to her first owner, Mr Thomas Lumb, who registered it to his company name, Thomas Lumb Co Ltd, Victoria Mills, Skipton, Yorkshire, with the original registration number JCX 749. It would remain in Mr Lumb’s possession until passing to the second owner, Mr Walter Greaves, who purchased the Rolls Royce through Viceroy Carriage Company in 1966.

SVJ 109 remained with Mr Greaves until 1975, when a Mr Richard Werby acquired the car and exported it to America where he resided for over three decades. At the time of export the recorded mileage was 90,000 miles. The Silver Dawn remained in Mr Werby custodianship until 2001, during which time Mr Werby added another 16,000 miles to the odometer, and serviced and maintained the car with recognised specialists including Rolls Royce of Beverly Hills. The fourth owner, Dr Stephen Davidson, acquired SVJ 109 in 2001, with the odometer now reading 106,000 miles, over the next ten years Dr Davidson lavished $41,576.39 of maintenance and refurbishment on her (invoices on file) and increased the mileage to 118,000 miles. SVJ 109 returned to these shores in 2011 and was purchased by the current vendor. The extensive history file contains copies of the original order form, with special features of automatic gearbox and standard traficators, copies of the build sheets, various copies of newspaper articles relating to Mr Lumb, Rolls Royce service handbook (1953), automatic gearbox instruction card and warranty, Smiths radiomobile instruction book, numerous invoices for thousands of pounds/dollars and the original RF60. The vendor informs us that this imposing and well maintained Rolls Royce is on the button and ready to be enjoyed as Rolls Royce intended. V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustrations £35000 - 38000

66 A 1950 Morris Minor Lowlight post production tourer, registration number NRU 352, mist green. NRU 352 has just emerged from a professional restoration and conversion. During the restoration this matching numbers saloon was converted to a tourer. During the fastidious restoration she was subject to a bare metal respray, a retrimmed interior with cream upholstery and green carpets, the engine bay and underside of the body were fully detailed, all of the chrome work was either replaced or re-chromed as necessary and a new mohair hood and side screens were fitted. After all of this hard work, she is now presented in beautiful condition and is ready for the next owner to either show her or just enjoy some open top summer motoring.

67 A 1972 MG B Roadster, registration number ALJ 395K, British racing green. Introduced to the general public in 1962, the MG B would become the most successful MG model of all time, and is just as popular with the classic car world today as it was when it first left the production line. This desirable tax exempt, manual overdrive example has been the subject of a thorough restoration by the current and past owners. During the refurbishment, the Roadster has been fully resprayed, a new hood has been fitted, the interior has been re-trimmed in black leather, the carpets have been replaced, and a leather rimmed sports steering wheel has been fitted. Further expenditure has been incurred with the fitting of chrome wire wheels, a re-trimmed boot, a full stainless steel exhaust system, a Kenlowe electric fan to aid cooling, new twin 6 volt batteries and refurbishment of the brakes. Beautifully presented, the MG is ready for immediate use and to be enjoyed by the next owner. V5C, MOT to November 2013, tax exempt See illustrations ÂŁ6800 - 7200

Lot 68 68 A 1966 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage, two owner, 45,000 miles from new, registration number 10 CPP, chassis number DB6/2421/R, engine number 400/2458/V, red. Introduced to the general public at the 1965 London Earl’s Court Motor Show, the new DB6 featured a long wheel base chassis with a new body having a distinctive kamm tail rear end, which aided aerodynamics and reduced drag. DB6/2421/R is a desirable manual five speed example, in remarkable original condition having had only two owners and travelled a very conservative 45,000 miles in 47 years. Registered to its first owner on 6th January 1966, it would remain in his care until 22nd July 1975 when the current and second owner took over the running of the Aston. During the next 38 years the vendor advises us that he has only driven the car approximately 3,000 miles, putting the car to use as a wedding car on two occasions, and the majority of the other mileage having been added driving around the roads of his home and local village. For the past twenty or so years DB6/2421/R has been garaged. Prior to the Aston going into storage the sills and exhaust were replaced and the brakes were overhauled. The majority of the striking red paintwork is original, apart from the new paint being applied to the sills. There is some microblistering and localised paint reaction mostly to the front wings on either side of the bonnet aperture, but having said that the overall appearance of the body and paintwork is very pleasing. The beautiful black leather interior is in wonderful condition with light creasing and patina to the front and rear seats, and the head lining and carpet are both clean and unworn. She also retains the original radio.

With only 45,000 miles on the odometer, mechanically she is virtually only just run in and according to the vendor he believes the cylinder head and block have never been apart, and during his ownership only general servicing has been needed. At the time of our recent visit to inspect the Aston, the triple Weber carburettors had been removed for cleaning and refurbishment. This matching number DB6 is now offered for sale for the first time in nearly 40 years and comes complete with a set of triple SU carburettors, RF60 duplicate logbook, V5, V5C and an original owners handbook.

69 A 1958 Jaguar Mk I 2.4 litre manual overdrive sports saloon, registration number RNV 77, black. Launched in 1955 Jaguar’s new compact saloon, which would retrospectively become known as the Mk I after the Mk II’s arrival. Initially available with the new 2.4 litre version of the legendary XK straight six engine, it would subsequently have the larger 3.4 litre version made available in 1957, after some initial criticism of a lack of power, especially from the lucrative American market. RNV 77 rolled off the Browns Lane production line on 9th April 1958 and was dispatched to the original dealer, Henlys of London on the 17th of that month. A very original and unmolested example of a desirable manual overdrive model, which has been barn stored for several years and will require recommissioning (last MOT issued 2005) before taking to the road. The body and paintwork appear to be in original condition, and the interior is worthy of particular note as it has survived remarkably well with nicely patinated red leather, a clean head lining and lustrous wood veneers. RNV 77 is running and driving, but the brakes will require attention. Offered for sale with a RF60 logbook, two expired MOT certificates, an invoice from Somerton Services Garage for £474.73 dated 1st February 2005 for service carried out to obtain the last MOT, a Motor Trader service data pamphlet No 277, two Jaguar/Daimler Heritage certificates and a V5C.

This chrome bumper, manual overdrive roadster, is an older restoration which has been with the present owner since 2003. Finished in a very striking Citron yellow with a contrasting black vinyl interior, a wooden dashboard and black leather Moto-Lita steering wheel. The weather equipment consists of a black vinyl hood and full tonneau cover. There is a history file with receipts, old MOTs and photographs of the MG being restored.

72 The Ex Jimmy Chipperfield 1954 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith 4.5 litre touring limousine, with coachwork by Freestone and Webb, registration number 147 YUV, chassis number WVH110, engine number W109H, black. The Silver Wraith was Rolls Royce’s first post WWII model. It employed a chassis similar to the previous Silver Dawn and Bentley Mk VI, but having a ten feet seven inch wheel base, it was seven inches longer than the post WWII models. The chassis was always intended for bespoke coachbuilt bodywork, and in that respect was always different to the Mk VIs pioneering Standard Steel bodywork. Always lavishly appointed, this example is no exception, with its Freestone and Webb limousine with division coachwork, beautifully crafted cream leather and highly polished woodwork, the rear passenger compartment featured picnic tables, a cocktail cabinet, clock and altimeter. The first owner was James (Jimmy) Chipperfield, of the famous circus family. Copies of the original build sheets reveal that chassis WVH110 was ordered by Hooper and Co in 1953 for delivery to a Mr A Webber. It would appear that Mr Webber never took delivery, as the chassis record cards record that Mr James Chipperfield was the first owner on 13th August 1954. The chassis cards also reveal that WVH110 was to have an old body on new chassis, the body in question being transferred from WLE27. Further special features listed include automatic transmission and new stepped pattern petrol tank. Jimmy retained the Rolls Royce until 1958. WVH110 then passed through the dealerships of Harold Radford Ltd, Hoffmans of Sheffield and Alpolan Industries Ltd, before the next private owner, a Mr Basil Victor Martin, of Bedford Square, London, acquired her on 15th May 1962 (HR Owen bill of sale on file) and WVH110 would remain in the Martin family until 2011. In the current vendor’s ownership since 2011, she has gone through a period of re-commissioning to bring her up to a good roadworthy condition and the vendor informs us that she drives exceptionally well. The history file contains the original RF60 log book, copies of the chassis cards, past MOTs, tax discs, copies of the completed car reports, owner’s handbook, service book and an HR Owen bill of sale. A rare Rolls Royce, with fascinating and continuous history which deserves to be cherished by the next custodian.

The Daimler Sovereign and its stable mate Jaguar 420 had a very short production run of only two years between 1966 and 1968, with 5,824 Daimler and 10,236 Jaguar variants rolling off the Browns Lane production line. XUU 929H is a four owner automatic, original right hand drive home market, matching numbers car, which has covered a believed 44,000 miles from new. Manufactured on 16th October 1968, it would subsequently be dispatched from Browns Lane on 29th October to the supplying dealer, Stratstones of London. It would pass through three subsequent owners until the fourth registered keeper, a Mr Stuart John Shricley Battrick, acquired the Daimler in March 1966, from Luigi Motor Services, Stockport, Cheshire with a recorded odometer reading of 34,887 miles, for £6,695 (receipt on file). Over the next seventeen years Mr Battrick has added nearly 10,000 miles to the odometer, maintaining the Daimler as necessary with regular servicing and replacement consumable parts, including a stainless steel exhaust, an automatic transmission service, and reconditioning the carburettors and front brakes. XUU 929H is finished in an attractive light blue with a wonderful grey leather interior, which has survived with a marvellous patina. The headlining is clean and not sagging, and the walnut dashboard and door cappings are in good condition. The large history file accompanying the Daimler has numerous receipts from recognised Jaguar/Daimler specialists, past MOTs from 1977 (recorded mileage 31,085 miles), a Jaguar/Daimler heritage trust certificate, the original Motorola radio operating instructions and SORNs. This low mileage and rare Daimler now awaits a new careful owner. V5, V5C, MOT to January 2014, tax exempt See illustrations £7000 - 8000 74 - 76

Lot 77 77 An ultra-rare 1949 Bristol 400 Zagato (to 406 specification) barn find restoration project, registration number DRG 930, chassis number 400-1-568, engine number 110/5042, blue. Bristol and Zagato are linked through the vision of Anthony Crook, racing driver and subsequent owner of Bristol Cars. In the late 1950s Anthony conceived the idea of a lightweight sports saloon to appeal to the more sporting gentleman. To this end he sent approximately twelve chassis to Zagato, to be re-bodied and uprated, with a possibility of a small production run. After initial inspection and evaluation, Mr Crook found the quality of craftsmanship not up to Bristol’s high standards and the Zagato involvement came to an end. Of the four or five 400 chassis sent to Italy only three are currently recorded, all of the six 406s fortunes are known of, as is the single 406 short chassis car. DRG 930 started life as a standard 400 sports saloon, it was registered to its first owner, a Mr William Elrick of Aberdeen on 4th August 1949, it would pass through three further owners before coming into the possession of Anthony Crook Motors in January 1960. From there it was sent out to Zagato for six months, being re-bodied and uprated to 406 Zagato specification, with a 110 engine, disc brakes and overdrive gearbox.

On returning to England it was registered again to Anthony Crook Motors in November 1960. It remained with the company, possibly being used as a demonstrator for the new 406 Zagato or personal transport for Mr Crook, until she was sold to Christopher Stewart Gladstone on 11th May 1961. He kept the car until 1965 when Mr

20

Griffith (now deceased) became the final owner. Mr Griffith used the car extensively for both business and personal transport, clocking up over 200,000 miles. Between 1966 and 1968 DRG 930 saw service in Libya as Mr Griffith’s personal transport, he states in a letter to Mr Crook of Bristol Cars Ltd, that she performed particularly well in the Sahara sands, including a journey to the Giarabub oasis and one memorable excursion when the car drove over a land mine (car and occupants unharmed). On returning to Blighty DRG 930 was used as personal transport until the 1980s when she went into the garage, and a lengthy restoration began. The car was stripped for the restoration but unfortunately it never got underway to any extent. DRG 930 now requires a full body off restoration. It is believed that all of the major components are present. But after such a long time in storage this cannot be guaranteed and it is advisable therefore that any potential buyer satisfy themselves that this is so. There is a large and interesting history file accompanying the car with period insurance documents, an instruction manual, correspondence between Bristol Cars and Mr Griffith, past MOTs, invoices from Bristol Cars, a Libyan car license, RF60, V5 and V5C. This exciting and important discovery of an unrestored 400 Zagato appears to be unrecorded with the Bristol Owners Club. It is possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity to restore a unique Bristol to original condition and re-write the record books in the process.

This unfinished and exciting project, comes from the same stable as the unique Bristol 400 Zagato. The chassis was purchased by Mr Griffith from the well respected Bristol connoisseur Christopher Balfour in 1992. Mr Balfour had owned the chassis since approximately 1978. Mr Griffith amassed a large quantity of spares over the years, including the aforementioned chassis, engine block, cylinder head, gearbox, disc brake calipers, discs, both new old stock and used, steering wheels, steering racks, fuel tanks, body glass, an interior in red leather, possibly for a 406 or 405, body panels from either a 405 or 406, as there are four doors, window frames, a boot, a rear section with wings, a front end with headlights and a roof panel. All of these are in poor condition and would appear to have been cut from a chassis to aid storage. There are also steel road wheels and numerous other small items from various Bristol models, including 400 and 401. It is advised that the new owner is aware that all of the above spares filled a long wheel base Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van so provision should be made for collection and removal from the sale site before the auction date.

Accompanying the chassis and spares are letters between Mr Griffith and Mr Balfour, RF60, V5, MOT (expiry date 9th July 1975), other RF60s and V5s registered to other Bristols.

They employed the C Series 2.9 litre straight six engine, mated to either a four speed with manual overdrive or three speed automatic gearbox.

This automatic and rare power assisted steering example has had five keepers from new, residing the majority of that time in Cornwall in long term lady ownership.

81 A 1920 Armstrong Siddeley 30 hp Series E 5 litre Open Drive Limousine, with coachwork by The Burlington Carriage Company, registration number NL 960, chassis number 1936E, engine number 13221, maroon with black wings. Armstrong Siddeley Motors Ltd was formed in 1919 by the amalgamation of Sir W G Armstrong, Whitworth and Co and Siddeley-Deasy Motor Company Ltd. The new marque was unashamedly aimed at the very top of the luxury car market, with the likes of Rolls Royce, Napier and Daimler firmly set in its sights. The first Armstrongs featured a 5 litre 30 hp, 6 cylinder engine, cast in two sections of three cylinders with overhead valves. Other distinguishing features were the Sphinx mascot and the V shaped radiator. This 30 hp features Burlington Open Drive coachwork and was purchased by Sir Hubert Swinburne of Capheaton Hall, Northumberland, in late 1919 or early 1920. It remained in the same family ownership until 2009.

Affectionately known as Nellie, she remained in running order until the outbreak of WWII, when she was relegated from the coach house to the haybarn for the duration. She duly returned to the coachhouse where she remained until going on display at the Beamish Museum, County Durham during the 1980s. Whilst there she was restored to running order and the maroon and black coachwork was re-painted. Returning to The Hall from loan in 1992, she would remain with the family for a number of years before again going on loan, this time to the Armstrong Siddeley collector, Eric St John Foti. This rare and important Armstrong is believed to be only one of two survivors and possibly the only road worthy example. Luxuriously equipped, with a re-trimmed cloth passenger compartment which features carriage style drop down windows and chauffeur’s division. The chauffeur’s driving compartment has been re-trimmed in brown leather. Since purchasing the car in 2009, the vendor has been an active member of the Armstrong Siddeley Owner’s Club, attending local shows. In 2012 the car attended the National Weekend at Royal Wootton Bassett, winning the prestigious Coventry Cup. The history file contains past MOTs, Sphinx magazines, an Armstrong Siddeley Car Club 2013 calendar where the car is featured on the front cover, and general correspondence.

This example from the last year of production is powered by the larger two litre Standard Vanguard engine. Handsomely finished in gloss black with a red hood and maroon leather interior, which has recently been refurbished.

During the current ownership, further expenditure has been lavished upon the car, with a stainless steel exhaust, revarnishing of the dashboard and door cappings, new carpets, a brake overhaul, new kingpins, dynamo, regulator, door cards, chromework, tyres and petrol pump all of which have been replaced in the last two years.

Introduced in 1962 to replace the outgoing MG A, it was quite a departure from previous models as they had monocoque bodies rather than a separate chassis as used in all previous MG models. Initially only available in Roadster form, the GT version was added to the range in 1965 and was dubbed the poor man’s Aston Martin by the motoring press. Production continued until 1980, with various cosmetic changes taking place throughout. The most obvious visually being the introduction of black rubber bumpers and increased ride height from 1975. This particular GT has resided in the Somerset area since being supplied by Bridgwater Motors (original receipt on file for £2,617.32) to the first registered keeper, a Mr T T Dale, it would pass through one further owner, a Mr Geoff Ruddle, before the current owner purchased the MG in 2002. Always being lovingly cared for the MG has covered a believed genuine mileage of less than 40,000 miles from new. A desirable manual overdrive car on wire wheels, LYD 233P is finished in the rare colour bracken, with a full tan leather interior. Accompanying the car is a good history file containing the original bill of sale, Passport to Service, fully stamped to 2004 (mileage 37,796 miles), photographs of the body being restored and re-sprayed by Buncombes of Highbridge, where it was recorded that all of the body panels were original and did not need replacing, service receipts, previous MOTs and tax discs.

88 A 1931 Singer Junior 8 hp Sunshine saloon, registration number FB 9107, maroon over black. Unveiled at the 1926 London Motor Show with an 848 cc engine, three speed gearbox and only one body style, a three door four seat open tourer. Over the next few years more body styles were added to the range and for 1931 the engine design was improved and the gearbox gained an extra gear, which gave the small Singer a true 50 mph top speed. This charming and very original four door saloon has resided in the West Country since its first registration.

The first owner, a Mr Harry Tidworth, took delivery on 16th April 1931.

It would then pass through the hands of a father and son who lived in the Amesbury, Wiltshire area, the penultimate owner was a Mr Hill who sold the Singer to the current vendor approximately three years ago.

Finished in maroon with black wings and a full length sunroof, the interior is in original but well loved condition with worn seats. The vendor informs us that the little Singer has seen regular use attending local classic car shows and has always performed impeccably. The Singer has had maintenance as necessary including the fitting of a new exhaust, a reconditioned speedometer, a new Solex 26 FHD carburettor and a new battery during his tenure.

89 A 1995 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR V Spec, registration number M348 RCY, pearlescent white. Nissan’s fourth generation of supercar was manufactured between 1995 and 1998. The V Spec R33 incorporated many of the components from the previous R32 model, but had improved sports load suspension, the ATT ESA E TS all wheel drive system, active limited slip differential and independent four wheel anti lock braking system. This particular R33 was imported into England in 2008 and has been the subject of a comprehensive restoration by the Nissan Skyline owner’s club member. Significant sums of both care and money have been lavished upon the car and the history file contains receipts in excess of £10,000, for an engine rebuild (£4,717.18 in 2011), a body rebuild with new sills, floors, wheel arches and other body panels, a full bare metal respray in pearlescent white (£4,000 in 2012), a new exhaust, wheels, tyres, a reconditioned gearbox and overhauled braking system with new calipers and discs. The vendor informs us that at present the engine is developing approximately 350 bhp, but he feels that after a final rolling road tune the engine should be developing somewhere in the region of 400 bhp.

This is significantly more than the standard output and as the original 0-60 time was 4.9 seconds one can only imagine what the final performance figures will be. There is a comprehensive history file from 2008, with all MOTs, restoration and maintenance receipts and the original Japanese bill of sale.

Lot 90 90 A 1924 AC Anzani 12 hp open tourer with dickie seat, current ownership since 1958, registration number PD 3372, polished aluminium over blue. PD 3372 has had quite a unique existence, having had only three owners, who have used the car very sparingly over the last 89 years. The first owner, a Mr Price exported the AC to India, where it would remain for only six months, due to his untimely demise. The car was returned to England where a Miss Price, Mr Price’s sister, would become the next owner. It would remain with her until 1958, spending the majority of that time on blocks. The third and current owner acquired the AC in 1958 at the tender age of 16. The AC returned to the road for only two years, going back into storage for over twenty years and seeing limited mileage until 1987 when a detailed refurbishment was undertaken, with comprehensive notes being recorded. In 1988 the recorded odometer reading was 5,705 miles, the mileage would only increase to 6,708 mile by 2012, this mileage can not be warranted due to the odometer only recording up to 10,000 miles, but when one considers the majority of the time it has been in storage this mileage could be correct. Other works which have been carried out include an engine rebuild by Double M Engineering in 2006 (receipt on file for £4,576.63), and a new double duck hood.

The history file contains photographs of the car in India, receipts of the engine rebuild, general receipts, the original RF60, old tax discs, old MOTs and general correspondence. This remarkable low ownership and original example of one of ACs rarer vintage models now awaits a new enthusiastic fourth owner. RF60, V5, MOT and tax exempt See illustrations £18000 - 22000

Lot 91

Lot 92 92 The unique FLM Panelcraft 1963 Rover P5 Mk II drophead coupé, registration number 500 CBY, blue. During the early 1960s three separate coach builders came to the same conclusion that a drophead P5 Rover would be a good idea, to capitalise on the luxury sector which was currently catered for by Alvis, Bentley and MercedesBenz. Although Rover didn’t build any of the prototypes in house, Rover commissioned the coach building firms of Henry Chapron, Hermann Graber and FLM Panelcraft. The Chapron version seemed to have disappeared soon after completion and it is still missing in action.

The Graber example still exists in Switzerland in need of restoration, and the Panelcraft car resides in Wiltshire. The Panelcraft version was completed over the Winter of 1963/64 at a cost of £700. This was approximately half the cost of a new 3 litre saloon, but even at that high price, it still undercut the 3 litre Alvis TE21 by nearly £600. Rover’s Technical Director Peter Wilks had the car evaluated and the tooling up costs investigated: unfortunately with costings of nearly half a million pounds, it was felt uneconomic to continue. The first owner, a Mr Hanson, kept the car until 1966 or 1967, when the second custodian, an architect from Torquay purchased it. Little history is known until Terry Norton acquired the car in the mid 1990s and embarked on a restoration. The Rover stayed with Terry until 2004

91 A 1975 EG Autokraft Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyder replica, registration number NEW 924P, Rosso Corsa. EG Autokraft produced very faithful and accurate reproductions of Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyders, manufacturing approximately 100 examples. Ferrari officially offered the Scaglietti body Ferrari Daytona Spyder for two years between 1971 and 1973, with 122 examples being made, of which seven were right hand drive. Ironically this means that the replica is rarer than the real thing. Finished in striking and tradition Rosso red with a very accurate interior, incorporating Daytona style seats finished in cream leather with black inserts, an aluminium and alcantara covered dashboard with full instrumentation, correct sliding heater controls and sports steering wheel. Powered by Jaguar’s V12 engine mated to a Borg Warner automatic gearbox, which endows the Ferrari replica with a turn of speed to match its looks. There is a history file accompanying the car with past MOTs, receipts and an original EG Autokraft sales brochure. This exciting Ferrari replica now offers the new owner the opportunity to own a faithful reproduction of one of the most desirable cars in the world at a fraction of the cost of the real thing. V5C, MOT to June 2014, no current tax See illustrations £15000 - 18000

when Mr Bruce Duncan of Hornsby, Australia persuaded him to sell it.

During its time in Australia, Bruce made several improvements to the interior trim and electrics, as part of a general refurbishment programme. The car remained in Australia until returning to these shores in 2012, where it now resides in Wiltshire. During the construction of the car, the roof was removed and a number of reinforcing, stiffening plates and bracing struts were added. The most obvious of these are the U-shaped supports under the rear seat, the Tsection running from the end of the engine crossmember for the spring hangers on each side, the tie bars across the engine bay and the reinforcing brackets around the boot hinges. The PVC hood, which is fully lined, folds back onto the rear deck, where it sits under a hood cover. Once unfolded the comfortable blue leather interior is revealed. The car’s history file is well known, having appeared in numerous motoring publications, including James Taylor’s, The Complete Story Rover P5 & P5B on pages 81 and 82, The Autocar (May 1964), Practical Classics (January 1997), Australian Classic Cars (February 2008) and Classic and Sports Car (March 2013). Since returning to Blighty, 500 CBY was a star exhibit at last year’s Classic Car Show at the NEC. This unique Rover now awaits a new owner, and with its place in Britain’s automotive history, it is assured an entry at numerous prestigious classic car events. V5C, MOT to July 2013, tax exempt See illustrations £35000 - 38000

93 A 1966 Austin Mini Cooper S MkI 1275, registration number EEY 105D, chassis number CA2S7/821247, engine number 9FS/AY/40980, almond green with white roof. EEY 105D is an exciting discovery of a matching numbers Mini Cooper S, which has had only three owners from new, and been garage stored for approximately the last 20 years, which must make it one of the most original examples to come onto the open market in recent years. Having only covered a believed genuine 75,000 miles from new, all of the body panels, engine, gearbox and all other major components are original matching numbers as verified by the MkI Mini Cooper Register and are in delightful oily rag condition. The supplying dealer, M&K Ltd. of Colwyn Bay, Wales (original supplying enamel dealers badge fixed to the rear number plate), registered the Mini to its first owner, a Mrs Janet Meredith on 18th April 1966. The second recorded keeper was Charles Hughes & Son (Garage), Port Madoc, who subsequently sold the Cooper to the third and current owner, Mr C W L Bonsor, in 1968.

Finished in almond green with a white roof, the interior is trimmed in duo-tone green and grey vinyl, with a period leather rimmed MotoLita steering wheel (original wheel supplied). After approximately twenty years of inactivity, the car will require careful restoration and recommissioning to retain the wonderful originality of the car. Offered for sale with the original RF60, V5 and a local taxation form dated 17th April 1973. This unmolested original example of the ultimate road going Cooper, would be worthy of any important car collection or museum exhibit. RF60, V5, no current MOT or tax See illustrations ÂŁ8000 - 12000

Lot 94 94 A 2000 Bentley Arnage Red Label saloon, registration number TBA, Peacock blue. Introduced to the general public in April 1998 at the La Sarthe circuit, home of the Le Mans 24 Hour race, and the scene of Bentley’s greatest triumphs in the 1920s. The Red Label model featured the older 420 bhp 6.75 litre push rod V8 engine mated to a four speed automatic gearbox with both economy and sport mode, which endowed this sumptuously equipped car with breathtaking performance equivalent to many a super car. Fastidiously maintained by the current and previous owners, the current odometer reading of 20,000 miles is substantiated with a full service history from respected Rolls Royce and Bentley specialists including Jack Barclay (with receipts for nearly £20,000) and P&A Wood where the car was purchased by a previous owner in 2009 for £53,000. Finished in a most attractive peacock blue with a sumptuous Cotswold hide interior, with blue lambswool over rugs and every conceivable luxury. Offered for auction with the aforementioned receipts from Jack Barclay, and P&A Wood, the original dealers leather wallet with all handbooks, stamped service record and owners handbooks, past MOTs, V5 and V5C. The vendor describes the car as in generally excellent condition and as a pleasure to drive. The car currently has a private registration number which is being retained by the vendor and a new age related registration number will be issued before the auction. V5C, MOT to February 2014, taxed See illustrations £26000 - 28000

Lot 95 95 A 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II 2+2 coupé, registration number JBF 444H, maroon. In 1966 Jaguar added a new member to the iconic E-Type range of roadster and coupé, in the form of the 2+2 coupé.

Intended to extend the E-Type’s appeal beyond the sports car market.

The 9 inch longer wheel base coupé with its higher roof line, increased glass area (giving better visibility), added luggage space and occasional rear seats, they were aimed firmly at the sporting gentleman with a young family to transport. From 1968 all three versions of the EType underwent major modifications to comply with US safety legislation. These included the removal of the distinctive headlight covers, a larger radiator intake, raised bumper height and larger side and rear lights, these cars became known as Series II. This four owner manual E-Type has been in the current ownership since 1991. During his custodianship this car has travelled less than 15,000 miles, and has been regularly serviced and maintained to a high standard. Notable expenditure includes an engine rebuild in 1994 (less t#hat 6,000 mile ago), a new exhaust in 2000, new carpets in 2011, a new clutch and a major rear brake overhaul, carburettor rebuild and new alternator in 2012 by Sigma Engineering. The history file contains numerous receipts going back to 1991 for thousands of pounds and past MOTs from 1987. Attractively finished in maroon with a nicely patinated cream leather interior with wood rim steering wheel. This E-Type, which has benefited from long term enthusiastic ownership, now awaits a new owner to take the odometer over the magic 100,000 mile mark. V5C, MOT to August 2013, tax exempt See cover and other illustrations £20000 - 25000

All prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the condition, colour, age and all other matters relating to any lot and no claims will be accepted in respect of any such matter. c) Each buyer by making a bid for a lot acknowledges that he has satisfied him or herself fully as to the condition of the lot. If any damage is done to any lot at the viewing or before, during or after the sale, such damage shall be made good by the person committing such damage, principals being responsible for the acts of their servants, such damage to be assessed by the auctioneers. d) Whilst every endeavour has been made to ensure that the items lotted in this catalogue will be available and offered for sale in catalogue order, no responsibility can be accepted by the auctioneers for variations and omissions due to circumstances beyond their control. Neither Charterhouse nor the sellers of any lot will accept responsibility for any misrepresentations, misdescriptions or omissions obtained in this catalogue.

11)

Commission Bids. If instructed, the auctioneers will execute bids and advise prospective purchasers. This service is free.

There must always be a maximum limit indicated, ie the amount to which you would bid if you were attending the auction yourself. "Buy" or unlimited bids will not be accepted.
