MOTORING While all care has been taken with the magazine and book cataloguing, all buyers are advised to inspect the lots for any inconsistencies before bidding. Extra photographs of many of the lots can be found on www.the-saleroom.com. Some of the lots are delicate, and care in handling would be appreciated. The following lots are from the estate of G. N.

22 John Pollitt Files - Extracts. John Pollitt (1892-1958) was one of the most painstaking of researchers into motoring history, and after his retirement from the Rover in 1945, devoted much time to creating twenty-eight books of detailed study. Nick Georgano recognised John Pollitt for this groundwork that ultimately helped to craft Nick Georgano’s definitive encyclopaedic work. The four (exercise) books offered here are ink manuscript extracts from these twenty-eight books, diligently written by Nick Georgano. The four books have the armorial of Cothill House on their front covers, the preparatory School where Nick was a teacher in the late 1950s. G.N.G records his deference to both G. Ralph Doyle and John Pollitt in his ‘Encyclopedia’. Four historically important books. (4)
£100-140
Lot 19

23 The World’s Automobiles 1880-1958 by George Ralph Doyle (1890-1961), a 1959 3rd edition, 174pp, 8vo. Published by The Temple Press. Historically important, this is the author’s personal working copy, with his Ruislip address, dated 22/4/59 and full of pencil notes, marginalia, references, corrections and alterations, presumably carried out between April 1959 and his death in 1961. Nick Georgano met Ralph Doyle and John Pollitt in the 1950s, and much of their research was incorporated into the 1968 Encyclopedia; indeed, Nick Georgano co-authored the fourth edition of the book, which was published after Doyle’s passing, see lot 25. Coming with this book is a typed biography of G. R. Doyle by G.N. Georgano. Sound condition, without DJ Historic Note: G. R. Doyle was the first man to compile a worldwide address list of car manufacturers. The World’s Automobiles, first published privately in 1932, stimulated the interest of enthusiasts and, as Nick Georgano confirmed on numerous occasions, “without Doyle’s pioneer work, the 1968 1st ed of The Complete Encyclopedia of Motorcars would have been a near impossibility”.

166 1924 Doriot Flandrin Parant - (DFP), a landscape format, cord-tied hard cover brochure promoting the ‘Nouveaux’ 12CV Models A, B & M and the 10CV Models E & M in 24 single-sided pages, 6 of which are highly colourful depictions of various models in historic scenes by Alexis Kow (1900-1978 - his actual name being Alexis Kojewnikow), each with a waxed tissue guard. The French editorial gives praise to the attributes of the chassis, line drawings of four body styles, but also promoting coach-built options. The DFP name is significant because of its earlier connection with both H E and W O Bentley, the latter introducing the use of aluminium pistons, and achieving much success and acclaim in competition with various DFP models prior to 1919, indeed, WO built his prototype Three-Litre at the DFP Agency Service Garage in New Street Mews, London. His Brother continued with the Bentley & Bentley Agency until 1923. In very good condition, retaining its free-endpapers and cord tie, the brown cover rubbed with light wear. (1)

This machine has been restored in post-war civilian guise, and augmenting USA patriotism, Columbia named it the ‘Paratrooper with Balloon Equipment’ model and finished it in drab olive. The bicycle features Torrington folding handlebars, New Departure back-pedalling brake, single piece 7-inch cranks, 18-inch frame but with a long saddle extension, prop stand, 26-inch wheels and a sliding collar to allow for the separation of the down tube. In delightfully restored condition. Historic Note: With no primary documentary attestation, this actual bicycle was owned post-war by a German soldier and used by him to return home. He then made a circular headstock badge, bearing his initials and fixed it to the headstock of the bicycle. The elderly son of the owner would only sell the bicycle to the previous owner, so long as the handmade badge was not removed. (1) £800-1200

541* A c1888 Linley & Biggs ‘Whippet’ Sprung-Frame Bicycle. Initially patented as a tricycle in 1885 and then with a further patent in 1887 for its transformation into a bicycle format. This bicycle was advertised as having gearing of either 51, 54, 57 or 60-inch, and this bicycle appears to be geared to 54-inch. Perhaps embodying the pinnacle of solid-tyred Safety Bicycle design in an era before the commercialisation of the pneumatic tyre, the unique feature of the ‘Whippet’ bicycle was that the whole section of the frame carrying the handlebars, the saddle, and the slotted cranks was sprung as a single unit. The action is accomplished by attaching a large expanding coil spring between the sloping backbone joining the rear forks and the steering head, so that the remaining frame carrying the rider is in tension when mounted. To keep the chain adjustment stable, the horizontal stays are hinged together with a second hinged tube near the steering head forming a parallel motion, without affecting the movement of the handlebars in steering. This design was popular to those that could afford an expensive bicycle at 1, and certainly sales were helped by the fact that various road records were broken. Montague Holbein and William Chater-Lea raced using Whippets, with Holbein covering 336½-miles in 24-hours across difficult terrain while competing against lighter bicycles, and Chater-Lea, who worked for Linley & Biggs at the time, rode a winning Whippet at the Catford Hill Climb in 1888. However, interest in the machine quickly came to an end with the introduction of the pneumatic tyre. A design classic, much sought after by design and engineering museums as an exhibit, it is a bicycle that not only treats the eye to an agreeable visual, but the action of the springing motion of the frame pleases the senses both while in use, and when stationary. Indeed, the bicycle almost entices a tactile relationship. The late Paul Farren in his book, ‘Cycling Through Time’ comments, ‘Riding it is an incredible experience, akin to hanging from a bungee cord’. The black-painted frame is off-set by incongruous silver-painted parts but has nevertheless ensured survival of its originality. The 28-inch diameter wheels have tangent spoking, good black solid rubber tyring on 5/8th-inch V-section rims, rat trap pedals fitted to 6½inch cranks, inch-pitch block chain and a 5-inch diameter chain-wheel. The double ball bearings in the toggle joint on the steering mechanism work well, albeit sometime in the past, it has been re-fitted back to front. (1)

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account. 3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 20% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 20% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 20% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission. 4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared. 5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due. 6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.
7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded. 8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer. 9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the lower estimate, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions. 12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses. 13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT LAW ("DROIT DE SUITE") Lots marked with AR next to the lot number may be subject to Droit de Suite. Droit de Suite is payable on the hammer price of any artwork sold in the lifetime of the artist, or within 70 years of the artist's death. The buyer agrees to pay Dominic Winter Auctioneers Ltd. an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to the artist's collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euros per lot. The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty For the Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros) 4.00% up to 50,000 3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale.
