HM Queen Elizabeth II with lot 11 1958 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith.

WEBBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S | AUGUST 20 1 9

Foreword In March 2019, Webb’s were privileged to auction the balance of renowned Wellington car connoisseur Roy Savage’s extensive collection. Held at the Southward Car Museum, the sale was a resounding success, seeing all but one lot not only selling but achieving prices well exceeding their estimates. Subsequently, there has been a heightened level of interest in potential subsequent auctions, both in New Zealand and Australia. Based on this spectacular result, Webb’s have decided to conduct a further auction of exceptional vehicles. The auction will be headlined by Maxine and Terry Sutherland’s First Class Classics Collection, consisting principally of Rolls-Royces, but also includes lots from a broad range of other vendors. This auction will feature an offering of pre- and post-war classics, as well as vehicles of a more modern vintage, suitable for new collectors or those looking for affordable purchases. We endeavour to provide a varied selection of vehicles with broad appeal to a range of buyers, from serious car collectors to enthusiasts. This approach is evident from a glance at our inventory, ranging from the $7,000 bracket to the lofty stratosphere of around $300,000—and encompassing a vast range of options in between! As in the Savage auction, our range of quality offerings is again headed up by Rolls-Royce vehicles, a marque that Webb’s are fast becoming the experts in selling, having found buyers for no less than nine (including two Bentleys) at the aforementioned sale. This time, we have no less than eight prime examples up for sale, including a Silver Wraith Limousine used by H.M. Queen Elizabeth II during a royal visit to New Zealand. The two Silver Clouds in the sale, as well as the Bentley S1, share a trait that is far from common in vehicles of this stature and period, in that they were all originally delivered new to notable New Zealand business figures. The pre-World War II era is invariably an underrepresented period in classic car sales, but in this instance, Webb’s are able to offer a rare and prized 1936 Auburn 851 Cabriolet. This vehicle is particularly significant, in that it is one of less than a dozen automobiles of this once prominent American model produced in right-hand drive configuration. This vehicle has been painstakingly and fully restored and is ready for its next owner to drive and enjoy.

For those of more modest means, we are proud to offer a unique and beautifully restored 1959 Morris Minor Traveller Wagon which has been resident with one family since 1983. Whether a buyer seeks a lovely rendition of Morris’ finest to drive regularly or a distinctive automobile to use in promoting a business, this vehicle will truly fit either bill. Likewise, the Daimler 1993 in the sale has just two previous owners and a mere 49,000 kilometres and is in immaculate order, being New Zealand-new and having had regular main agent services. Indeed, Webb’s understand that two marque collectors have already expressed interest in owning this incomparable and much-coveted modern classic. The English theme is continued in form of not one but two Armstrong Siddeleys, both owned by a gentleman with a passion for the marque, which in its day was highly regarded for its innovative engineering, technical excellence and the very highest build and finish standards. Similarly, the Bentley Mark VI convertible is another fantastic example of British automobile manufacturing included in the sale. We sold a steel-bodied VI, as well as an “R” Type, in the previous auction at Southwards. However, this fully-restored aluminium-bodied example is unique, at least in a local context, in that it is probably the only one of its kind in the country and just one of 57 manufactured in total for Bentley by renowned coach builders Park Ward. With Brexit and all things European at the forefront of public consciousness, we are pleased to be able to include a beautiful example of the finest of French and Italian motoring collaboration, in the form of the 1971 Citroen SM. This is another vehicle in the sale sporting a recent restoration, undertaken with a “just get in and drive it” philosophy. Given the cost of vehicle restoration, let alone the time investment involved, it makes more sense than ever to purchase something that someone else has committed the hard yards to restoring! We look forward to welcoming you to our sale on Sunday, August 18. In the interim, should you have any questions about any of the vehicles in the auction, or would like to inquire about placing your vehicle in a future Webb’s sale, we’d be delighted to talk with you.

1978 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II Chassis no: SRH35173 Engine no: 35173

 Rolls-Royce’s mainstay model for 15 years, the Silver Shadow is an exceptional automobile marrying quality, charm and comfort like no other of its era. Announced in 1965, it was arguably the first Rolls-Royce conceived with an eye to being driven by an owner rather than a chauffeur. Its second iteration as presented here was announced at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show featuring more prominent square-cut bumpers, rack and pinion steering plus tauter front suspension, with these features and powered by a 6.75 litre V8 (189bhp). It is not hard to understand why the “Shadow” was such a commercial success with sales of nearly 20,000 vehicles. This particular example was delivered new in New Zealand, being first registered on 8th December 1980. Prior to this, the car had resided in the Auckland Rolls-Royce dealer’s showroom for nearly two years. It is thought that the heady price tag of $115,000 may have had something to do with this sale’s lethargy! Sporting a gold “Spirit of Ecstasy”, it is known that this Shadow is the last one sold new here and is believed to have had two owners before joining the First Class Classics fleet. The black Connolly leather interior is near pristine. With a genuine low mileage of 72,224 kilometres, Blaupunkt push-button radio, Rolls-Royce logo key ring as well as whitewall tyres. Overall the condition of the car is excellent, being sound and free of corrosion, with all equipment working perfectly. The owner assures us that it is exceptionally comfortable to drive. Indeed, it is from behind the wheel that the Silver Shadow can be best enjoyed. Number plate included.

Estimate: $35,000 - $45,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1956 Bentley S1 Chassis no: B235BC Engine no: BB242

 Commensurate with building the Silver Cloud series Rolls-Royce also built between 1955 and 1959 three series of Bentleys totalling 3,538 examples and represented by this Series 1 model with a 6-cylinder engine (4.8 litres) and single headlights. This is another new New Zealand vehicle first registered on 11th June 1956 by Sir James Fletcher, followed by 20 ensuing owners before being purchased by First Class Classics in July 2007. The car is in immaculate and probably restored condition. A push-button radio is in situ as too is a central roof aerial and front bumper mounted fog lights, also acting as turning indicators. Door shut lines are perfect and the wood dash unimpaired. The whitewall tyres provide a nice touch to its similar paint. An original toolkit is present along with four specialised workshop manuals. Speedometer reads 73,162 miles. Power steering is absent from Bentleys of this Model Year. Personalised number plate of SM 1956 is included.

Estimate: $75,000 - $80,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

Lot 3 —

1970 Daimler Limousine Chassis no: 4M1289 Engine no: 7M13208

 The Daimler Limousine DS420, popularly known as the Daimler Limousine, is a large “limo” produced by The Daimler Company between 1958 and 1992. Used by the British, Danish and Swedish Royal Houses and commonly still today driven by wedding and hotel entities. Until her death in 2002, the Queen mother’s primary transport was a claret/black DS420. Announced in June 1968, the DS420 replaced the DR450 which was based on the majestic Major. Unlike its predecessor, however, the DS420 has no Daimler engineering, being a Jaguar product in its entirety and using a 4.2-litre version of XK straight-six engine albeit with a longer floor pan. Continuously in production from 1968 until 1992, some 3717 examples were built. This car is one of a matching pair that was purchased new by the NZ Government on 27th January 1970 for royal tours and visits by overseas heads of state. After 28 years of public service, the vehicle was sold to a Waikato-based wedding company and subsequently purchased by First Class Classics in 2004 and re-registered with number plate DS420. Finished in the classic colour of black, the interior bears a nice patina of age. A dignitary light is to be found on the roof, above the middle of the windscreen and is used when the Royal Coat of Arms is attached, along with a radio aerial on the boot and Daimler logos on both front fenders. This car has a substantive air-conditioner. Mileage is showing as 24,028 miles.

Estimate: $35,000 - $40,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud - S1 Chassis no: SYB70 Engine no: GB35

 It was in 1955 that Rolls-Royce replaced the ageing Silver Dawn model with the elegant Silver Cloud-S1, subsequently running to three iterations concluding in 1965. The Cloud was well received going on to record sales of 2360 units. Via the 6-cylinder engine developed for the Silver Dawn capacity was raised to 4.9 litres with a 4-speed General Motors gearbox and twin SU carburettors. There was no power steering. Like some vehicles from the First Class Classics collection, this example is new in New Zealand, being first registered to Sir Robert Kerridge on 6th June 1956. It is uncertain as to the length of time that Sir Robert owned the car, however successive owners are listed as Carpet Craft Ltd, H Barrow, A Sommerville, D Higgs and R Stewart with First Class Classics becoming the ninth on 20th June 2003. Mileage of 14,132 miles is undoubtedly the second time around. An original model handbook is present. Since being part of the First Class Classics fleet, a local marque expert has undertaken most servicing. The engine bay is displayed in a near spotless condition considering the vehicle’s age. Number plate RRSC is included in the sale. In summary, this is a well-cared for Silver Cloud in a state that belies nearly 70 years of driving.

Estimate: $70,000 - $80,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1954 Austin A30 4-door Chassis no: 63602 Engine no: 407778

 Launched in 1951, the A30 is the first Austin to be built using unitary construction namely; the body, floor pan and chassis form a single structure, resulting in a lighter and more rigid vehicle as well as being more economical to manufacture. With weight kept to a minimum circa, 685kg, the car was powered by 4-cylinder 800cc engine developing 28bhp at 4800rpm. Registered new in New Zealand on 1st January 1954 to a lady in the Auckland seaside suburb of Devonport. She enjoyed the vehicle for 45 years! In 1999, ownership passed to a gentleman in Whanganui before being purchased by First Class Classics as the third owner on 3rd March 2005. Mileage is 69,834 miles. A late-model Sanyo stereo is fitted. The original toolkit is present. There is no power steering, but in fact, it doesn’t need it! A CD of the handbook is available along with a printed copy of electrical and instruments parts and information. Number plate A30 1 included.

Estimate: $7,000 - $9,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1955 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346 Mk 2 Chassis no: 345013 Engine no: 345248

 The complex history of Armstrong Siddeley began with the formation of Siddeley Autocars in 1902 by John Davenport Siddeley, whose Coventry works turned out cars closely modelled on contemporary Peugeots. After merging with Wolseley in 1905, Siddeley resigned in 1909 and formed a new company, Siddeley-Deasy, which then went on to produce cars, trucks, ambulances and even aero-engines during the Great War. When hostilities ceased in 1919, the Armstrong Whitworth Development Company took over and began marketing a new range of Armstrong-Siddeley motor cars, establishing a reputation for building high-quality automobiles in the years leading up to the Second World War. Post-war most production was earmarked for export. Commonwealth countries like Australia and New Zealand proved popular destinations with the unique Station and Utility Coupe models aimed squarely at farmers on either side of the Tasman. Arguably the most successful Armstrong Siddeley of all, the Sapphire (named after the jet aircraft engine) was launched in 1952, a modern, large saloon that drew favourable reviews and plenty of customers once production commenced in 1953. The box section chassis featured coil spring and wishbone independent front suspension and semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear, with Girling hydraulic drum brakes. Power steering also became an option later in the Sapphire’s production life. The straight six, an entirely new design, was sold in both single and twin carburettor versions and developed plenty of power, enabling the big car to cruise at high speeds. Inside, the Sapphire’s cabin was exceptionally well appointed, with leather upholstery, thick pile carpets and walnut timber fittings, while a heater was standard equipment. Armstrong Siddeley built 3,947 of the Mark 2 Sapphire as seen here. Beautifully made, with exceptional performance and luxury, the Sapphire is an affordable alternative to the better-known marques like Jaguar and Bentley.

WEBB’S | AUGUST 201 9

This car is believed to have been sold new in Havelock North, Hawke’s Bay, in January 1955 to Mr H R Gilbertson but this cannot be verified. The vendor purchased it in 2002 from an Auckland workshop where it had resided in a neglected state. A comprehensive restoration subsequently ensued which entailed a reconditioning of all major parts including engine, gearbox and electrics. Power steering was also added. The body was removed and chemically stripped. It received 5 layers of undercoat being then finished in white. The woodwork was reconditioned too with new inner door panels constructed from Fijian Kauri. Hood lining, leather upholstery, carpets and steel bumpers were all likewise attended to. A 4-speed GM column shift is in situ. The correct badging “Sapphire Automatic” is on the boot. Rear wheel spats are present likewise rear seat grab handles on the central pillar. The opulent Sapphire range was arguably the finest models built by the company. Manufactured to a very high standard (and priced accordingly) the Siddeley Sapphires were ultra-luxurious and offered decent performance too. Even today they remain an eminently usable classic. Toolkit and number plate ‘SAYFR’ are included. Mileage is 64,328 miles.

Estimate: $30,000 - $45,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with current WOF.

1957 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud - S1 Chassis no: SED105 Engine no: SD277

 Described by some as the most elegant of all Rolls-Royces, the Silver Cloud enjoyed a decade long production run at Crewe replacing the Silver Dawn in 1955. Based upon an entirely new chassis, the Cloud featured independent front suspension and semi-elliptic rear springs to provide superb road-holding and characteristics. Initially fitted with a 6-cylinder engine of 4.9 litres, power was transmitted via a new four-speed General Motors derived automatic transmission built, under licence. Renowned Rolls-Royce stylist John Polwhele Blatchley was largely responsible for the car’s design which has well stood the test of time. The interior received the usual high level of Rolls-Royce accoutrements with Connolly leather upholstery, Wilton carpets, timber facia and rear picnic tables. A total of 2360 Silver Cloud 1 were built. This particular example is rare in New Zealand, being registered on 12th August 1957 by its first owner, Sir James Fletcher. Post his keeping are three other owners (unknown) before joining the First Class Classics collection as the car’s fifth keeper on 10th July 2003. Mileage is 139,945 miles. Original handbook is present. Cherished number plate RRSC1 is included in the sale.

Estimate: $70,000 - $80,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1970 Daimler Limousine Chassis no: 4M1629 Engine no: 7M 17008

 The Daimler Company was a British business formed in 1896 as an agency for Germany’s Gottlieb Daimler’s motorboat engines. The company bought the rights to the use of the Daimler name and after a re-organisation in 1904, was purchased by the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) in 1910. Prior to this, in 1902, it was awarded a Royal Warrant to provide cars to the British Monarch, a privilege it lost to Rolls-Royce in the 1950s. In 1960, BSA sold Daimler to Jaguar Cars Limited which then merged it in 1966 into the British Motor Corporation thence British Leyland in 1968. In this guise, Daimler became an upscale trim level for Jaguar apart from the DS420 limousine which had no Jaguar equivalent despite being fully Jaguar-based! When Jaguar Cars were spun off from British Leyland in 1984, they retained the Daimler company and brand. DML 420 as represented here was believed to be an Australian-delivered vehicle, subsequently being registered in New Zealand in February 1995. Used by a number of firms for weddings and similar functions, it was bought by First Class Classics on 31 May 2006 who became its seventh owner. Mileage of 99,568 miles is noted. An electrically operated glass division between driver and passenger is in place. The paintwork, wood, and rubber display a patina of age which detracts little though from the classical nature of this vehicle. Number plate DML 420 included.

Estimate: $30,000 - $35,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1956 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire Limousine Chassis no: P5346495 Engine no: E346452

 Formed in 1919 the Armstrong Siddeley Company built not only cars but aero engines, tank gearboxes and even railcars...such was the diversity of their product mix. Their logo incorporated a sphinx with the advertising tag line; “As silent as a sphinx”. The longer wheelbase limousine was introduced in 1955 with only 359 made and few remaining. This aristocratic motorcar as seen here is one of the few surviving examples. Purchased in 1999 this vehicle forms but one of 14 vehicles acquired by Australian Armstrong Siddeley authority, K Bartenstein from the Australian Government. It is understood that 10 identical cars were ordered by the Government for use by the Queen Mother when she toured Australia in the late-1950s. The vehicles were positioned around the country, one in Perth, one in Brisbane, Adelaide etc. so that whenever she arrived, she was able to travel in the same automobile. Originally, coloured black when in Royal Service, this was changed to navy blue then Old English White upon arriving in New Zealand in October 1996. Much mechanical work has been undertaken over the years including motor, carbs, brakes and suspension. A sliding glass partition is in situ between front and rear. The white leather interior with red piping and red carpets befits the car’s Royal background.

WEBB’S | AUGUST 20 1 9

Transmission is per a Wilson pre-select box. An original toolkit, Radiomobile push button radio and handbook are present. A nice feature is the inclusion of this actual vehicle in marque authority’s Robert Penn Bradley’s book, Armstrong Siddeley The Post War Cars (page 117). Whilst some paint regression and weathered chrome is present the car overall wears its 50+ years of use very well. A vehicle such as this with a significant imperial heritage, and in this condition, is a rare find today.

Estimate: $25,000 - $30,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1958 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Chassis no: HLW46 Engine no: L45H

 The Silver Wraith was the first new model produced by Rolls-Royce following the Second World War. Launched in 1947, it was an evolution of the pre-war Wraith being offered in traditional chassis form ready for the fitting of bespoke coachwork. Through its production period from 1947 to 1958, the Silver Wraith was constantly refined. In 1954, they reached an engine size of 4887cc on the long-wheelbase models as is featured here along with hydraulic brakes, a General Motors-sourced automatic transmission and power steering. The Silver Wraith was, as stated, the last model that would be delivered in “chassis only” form with the intent of being bodied by an independent coachbuilding company. Indeed, the Silver Wraith would be the final RollsRoyce that displayed a range of coachwork styles. To the car in question: in early-1958, four identical Rolls-Royce Silver Wraiths were supplied to the Australian Government for royal tours, Governors-General and visiting overseas heads of state. Today, one is located in Newcastle, NSW, and is in a similar condition to this vehicle. The second is in Melbourne in poor repair. The third one is this car and was primarily based in Brisbane. The fourth was reportedly crashed and written off in Canberra but is now understood to be in a Spanish museum! Fitted with a body from HJ Mulliner and Company Ltd of Chiswick, London (now Mulliner Park Ward), this car was first registered in 1958 by the Australian Government. In 1993, it was sold to a wedding car company, passing to First Class Classics on 15th April 2004. It is considered to be the 7th to last Silver Wraith ever built. At the front, it still bears the blue light which indicated Royalty, the Pope, VIPs or a diplomat was on board. The car in question has been used by HM Queen Elizabeth II in many of her Royal tours of Australia as illustrated on page 06 of the catalogue and many other similar images are available to view. As befits such a regal vehicle, a number of specialised tools related to hubcap removal, a sticking moonroof are included as too are instructions for the Mulliner coachwork, the non-working, old Radiomobile radio, a factory glovebox handbook, front flag poles and number plate RRSW. The air-conditioning is the other item currently not working. A vehicle with such a noble heritage rarely presents itself in this part of the world, let alone in this condition.

Estimate: $200,000 - $250,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1979 Daimler Limousine Chassis no: 7M4048 Engine no: DWATL3AXL 10199

 The Daimler Company was a British business formed in 1896 as an agency for Germany’s Gottlieb Daimler’s motorboat engines. The company bought the rights to the use of the Daimler name and after a re-organisation in 1904, was purchased by the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) in 1910. Prior to this, in 1902, it was awarded a Royal Warrant to provide cars to the British Monarch, a privilege it lost to Rolls-Royce in the 1950s.

In this guise, Daimler became an upscale trim level for Jaguar apart from the DS420 limousine which had no Jaguar equivalent despite being fully Jaguar-based! When Jaguar Cars were spun off from British Leyland in 1984, they retained the Daimler company and brand. This car was purchased new by the British High Commission in Wellington in January 1980 and bore the prime diplomatic plate DC100. Highlights of its use were the royal tour by Queen Elizabeth in October 1981, the visit by Prince Charles and Princess Diana in April 1983 and by Prince Edward when a housemaster at Whanganui Collegiate in 1982. Following its sale in late 1993, the vehicle plied its trade as a classic and wedding car before being bought for a similar purpose by First Class Classics on 20th June 2003, becoming its fifth owner. Recorded are 50,991 miles with NZ registration, not being listed until October 1993 primarily, we speculate due to its previous diplomatic status. With an electrically operated glass partition, modern stereo and an immaculate interior, a finer example of a car of this nature would be difficult to locate. Number plate D-LIMO included.

Estimate: $30,000 - $35,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1995 Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet Chassis no: 1240662C225245 Engine no: 10499222083585

Regarded by marque lovers as the “last of the old guard”, the Mercedes-Benz 124 chassis was the company’s midsize offering from the early ‘80s through to 1995. The ultimate expressions of this chassis were their coupes and convertibles of which the E320 was part of for but two years 1994 and 1995. They were a low car production unit that was hand-built by Mercedes and were essentially considered as being a vehicle that was over-engineered. For instance, the folding German canvas top blends seamlessly into the chassis when automatically locked. One switch controls all four windows and with a 3.2-litres in-line 6-cylinder under the bonnet silky, smooth and very quiet power is on tap. In its day, the E320 was a very expensive automobile priced higher than an equivalent SL model. This present exemplary was we understand built on 18 April 1995. Whilst constructed to UK specifications, it was in fact delivered new in Hong Kong but was purchased here by our vendor via contacts within the MercedesBenz Club, Auckland. With a tenure of ownership comprising five years, it is clear that it has been an automobile that he has enjoyed. Maintenance has always been committed to an Auckland marque expert from whom a secure history will be made available to the purchaser. Like all models of this genre,

WEBB’S | AUGUST 20 1 9

it is well optioned including an onboard computer, centre seat, rear headrest, headlight cleaning system, heated rear seats, remote key control for roof operation, plus a spare hood along with two keys. The air-conditioning operates perfectly. A Sportline kit which enhances the vehicle’s handling was also fitted to the car at the time of manufacture. We have been advised by the owner that the car may have had a colour change at some time but when and where is unknown. With a mileage of just 86,000 kilometres, this car operates in a manner that Mercedes-Benz is renowned for.

1993 Daimler 4.0 Chassis no: SAJDKALD3AA670954 Engine no: 9EPCMA166562

Launched in 1986, the Daimler was the top of the range of Jaguar’s XJ40 selection. Every option was fitted as standard which included individuallyheated seats, cruise control, tilt and slide sunroof as well as heated windscreens front and rear. The 4.0-litre straight 6-motor rated to a ZF auto box delivered ample acceleration with ride and handling super smooth. By way of further exclusivity, only two colours were available, maroon and kingfisher blue, as per this example. Although of 1992 model year production, this car was delivered new in Auckland by the Jaguar franchise dealer on 8th January 1993. A copy of the original bill of sale exists recording the occasion along with a $161,000 price tag! The first owner used the car sparingly and only upon his itinerant visits to Auckland. Anecdotally, we have been told that at the slightest hint of moisture, the vehicle was promptly returned to its garage! On 5th April 2013, the second owner purchased the car and it has been in his care ever since. Any service matters have been dealt with, either by the aforementioned official Jaguar dealer or via a highly-regarded local marque expert. The kingfisher blue paintwork is as lustrous as the day the car was manufactured. Likewise, too, the interior doeskin trim. The handbook is fully stamped, the toolkit unused along with the spare tyre. In an overall unmarked condition and with 49,000 kilometres showing on the clock, this car represents a far from common encounter from an era of grace, space and pace. In conclusion, a nice low mileage, low owners, genuine example of an emerging classic, for an everyday driver.

Estimate: $45,000 - $55,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1936 Auburn 654 Cabriolet Chassis no: 6758 (or 3) Engine no: WF3245

The Auburn was in its time a car with high society associations and even today, it is highly sought after. It began as the Auburn Automobile Company grew out of the Eckhart Carriage Company, founded in Auburn, Indiana, in 1874 by Charles Eckhart (1841-1915). Eckhart’s sons, Frank and Morris, experimented making automobiles before entering the business in earnest, absorbing two other local carmakers and moving into a larger plant in 1909. The enterprise was modestly successful until materials shortages during World War I forced the plant to close. In 1919, the Eckhart brothers sold the company to a group of Chicago investors. The new owners revived the business but failed to realise their anticipated profits and in 1924, approached Errett Lobban Cord (1894-1974), a highly successful automobile salesman, with an offer to run the company. Cord countered with an offer to take over completely in what amounted to a leveraged buyout and the Chicago group accepted. Cord aggressively marketed the company’s unsold inventory and completed his buyout before the end of 1925. But styling and engineering failed to overcome the fact that Cord’s vehicles were too expensive for the Depression-era market and stock manipulations would force him to give up control of his car companies. Under injunction from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to refrain from further violations, Cord sold his shares in his automobile holding company. In 1937, the production of Auburns, along with that of Cords and Duesenbergs, ended. This particular example was found in a field in New Zealand in the 1950s and was faithfully restored by its owner and sole keeper over a 10-year period. Whilst essentially a left-hand drive vehicle some were made for right-hand drive markets such as South Africa, India and Australia. We are reliably advised that five or six Auburns currently reside here. The 654 was the smallest model in the range but with rumble seat, 3-speed synchro gearbox and 85 bhp, it was a car of substance in its time. This vehicle is listed with the U.S. Auburn Club in Indiana and is well known to marque aficionados in Australia. It is in excellent working order with substantive interest expressed from near and far for this rare piece of motoring history.

Estimate: $100,000 - $125,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1971 Citroen SM Chassis no: SB 2422 Engine no: OSB 2422

Launched at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show, the SM, internal reference for Project S Maserati, provoked much interest with its innovative styling by Robert Opron. Sporting a taut, dynamic look and a drag coefficient of 0.46, its appearance was inciteful, to say the least! The 1968 takeover of Maserati by Citroen was, however, providential as it provided the opportunity for the latter to utilise a completely new twin-cam V6 engine with a capacity of 2670cc which bore the trident logo. The hydropneumatic suspension from the DS was also retained with its corresponding level of comfort which coupled with new Divari steering, with a power-assisted return mechanism made high speed driving a delight. Through the five years of the model’s life span, only 12920 examples were manufactured making it a much sought-after car today. By displaying modernity, comfort and performance, the SM is a true GT albeit different, prestigious and stylish but definitely a grand voiture. Our current owner purchased the vehicle in 1995 and we understand that it was imported here from New Caledonia where it was bought new by an executive of a French mining company. Collectively, however, ownership totals only four. The car has but recently emerged from a restoration process with a new hood lining and carpets along with refurbished leather. Paintwork alone was a $30,000 undertaking with a finish in the original toning of Feuille Dorée (Golden Leaf). A Continental Edison radio and genuine model handbook are additionally to be found in the car. Furthermore, and in support of the extent of the restoration, it is the current owner’s intention to give the purchaser a book of the process/receipts for the work done. Mileage is a low 104,541 kilometres. Rarely seen let alone ever for sale, the SM is considered by many as the ultimate expression of French automotive ‘Haute Couture’ with plenty of ‘Toute Vitesse’ thrown in.

Estimate: $165,000 - $175,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1952 Bentley Mark VI Drop Head Coupe Chassis no: B119NY Engine no: B309N

Manufactured from 1946 to 1952, the Mark VI was the first post-war luxury car produced by Bentley. Initially powered by a 4.3-litre straight six-engine, this was replaced in 1951 with a 4.6-litre version. As well as selling complete cars with an all steel body, Bentley also wanted to differentiate themselves from other manufacturers by supplying custom coachwork companies a chassis-only 2-door Drop Head Coupe. Whilst such work was usually attended to by their associated company, Park Ward, a number of others such as Graber, Hodson, Windovers and Abbott were also prominent in producing vehicles based upon Bentley under-pining. In Bernard L. King’s standard reference Bentley Motors On The Road, Bentley Mark VI records that only 57 examples of Park Ward’s lovely Drop Head Coupe, Design Number 99 were built. Bodies were constructed of lightweight and corrosion-resistant aluminium panels, with chassis B119NY being one of them. In its day, it was not only the most expensive production car in the world but also the fastest 5-seater at 100 mph+! This example bears a fully-restored aluminium body, an overhauled engine, new electric hood and lining with all trim replaced. Essentially, it wants for nothing! Even the boot has been recarpeted, and the exhaust replaced. The original toolkit too is in situ along with a reproduction handbook, workshop and parts manual. From a past-owner and New Zealand perspective, Webb’s research indicates that the car was first registered in Timaru in November 1969, presumably ex United Kingdom. It was subsequently sold in 1996, then again in 2002 and 2008, before being bought by the current vendor in 2018. To a future owner acquiring a vehicle like this will be an enriching experience tempered with much enjoyment. In short, this is a rare and beautiful collectable automobile being a wonderful combination of Bentley engineering and Park Ward coachwork. Mileage is recorded as 71,436 miles.

Estimate: $250,000 - $300,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF. Note: Webb’s wish to thank Colin Gray and Peter Waddington of Colgray Motors, Auckland, for their help in supplying much of the above information.

1973 Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe Chassis no: CRH14204 Engine no: SYL5322

1965 saw the introduction by Rolls-Royce of the Silver Shadow model which offered more cabin space for occupants and featured construction of a unitary nature with disc brakes and independent rear suspension. Two years later saw the introduction of a two-door coupe and also a convertible version of the Shadow, which were accorded their own identity becoming known as the Corniche. The Corniche was a very successful model for Rolls-Royce with 5146 convertibles and 1108 coupes built until production ceased in 1995. It is our considered belief that chassis number CRH14204 was tourist delivered from the Rolls-Royce factory as it was some two years later in October 1975 that it arrived in New Zealand and was registered in Auckland. In April 1978, it changed hands to a country gentleman who retained the vehicle for 12 years before ending up in a Hamilton car yard in 2000. Its next keeper acquired the car in September 2001 before passing it on to the current owner in 2009. Such lengthy tenures tend to indicate a high level of satisfaction with the vehicle. The MPW plaque on the dash signifies the work of Mulliner Park Ward, a handbook and Radiomobile push button radio are present as to is an 8-track stereo! Both the air conditioning and cruise control are in working order. Speedometer reads 5,521 miles (105,521). Whilst some service history is available, the car has only recently had work performed by a local independent marque expert. All panel gaps are excellent with the doors, bonnet and boot all closing with minimal effort. In summary, this is a stunning car that offers considerable value for money. As the last of the chrome bumper cars, this model is perhaps the most desirable of the Corniche range.

Estimate: $70,000 - $90,000 The car is sold registered and with a current WOF.

2016 Bentley Flying Spur V8 Chassis no: SCBEN 53W7FCO46360 Engine no: CYC004711

Precision engineered, powerful and well designed, the Bentley V8 Flying Spur is the amalgam of all that the Bentley marque stands for: luxury and performance. With a 4-litre V8 twin-turbocharged motor and torque of 660 Nm from 170 rpm, the Flying Spur jumps from 0 – 100 kph in a mere 4.9 seconds with a top speed of 300 kph, and an 8-speed gearbox, licence losing territory soon beckons! This specific example was delivered new in New Zealand and for its first few months appears to have been a Giltrap Motor Group vehicle. On 16th June 2016, it was registered to a lady in Dunedin in whose care it remains today. Finished in lustrous black with a light interior, it exudes the very best that can be found in a vehicle of this marque. Mileage is a mere 18240 kilometres. Any servicing work has been undertaken by Giltrap’s. In short, exceptional sophistication matched with exhilarating performance.

Estimate: $180,000 - $190,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

1959 Morris Minor Traveller Chassis no: 764647 Engine no: 365647

The Morris Minor debuted at the London Motor Show on 20th September 1948. Between then and its discontinuance in 1971, more than 1.6 million of its variants were manufactured. Originally conceived in 1941, it was, however, the overall concept and vision of Alec Issigonis that produced a practical, economic and affordable car for the post-war general public that would equal, if not surpass, the convenience and design quality of a more expensive vehicle. In later years, he stated that he wanted to create an economy car that “the average man would take pleasure in owning rather than feeling it was something he was sentenced to. People who drive small cars are the same size as those who drive large cars and they should not be expected to put up with claustrophobic interiors”. Registered new in Christchurch on 9th December 1959 to Frances Valentine, thence to a dealer in Takapuna on 6th April 1966, the car then passed through a couple of North Shore (Auckland) dealers prior to being bought by its current owner on 29th August 1983. His wife used it as a daily driver for many years carting their four children to their various activities around the city. After such years of use, it was then treated to a 10-year bare metal restoration by a BMCtrained mechanic, the work being completed in 2015. All components were reconditioned or replaced including those of a mechanical nature. The paintwork was also part of this extensive exercise and is true to its original blue colour. Looking like a new car! For someone seeking a prime and rare example of the Morris Minor genre, it is our view that to find one in this condition would be nigh impossible. Indeed, while we were photographing the vehicle, we were surprised at the number of people that came and expressed their fond memories of owning such a model. The car can be reliably driven on a daily basis and also lends itself well for use in a promotional business sense. Its 948cc engine and 37 bhp make driving from a bygone era a real pleasure! Many service records available and original ownership papers accompany the sale along with some spare parts. Speedometer reads 55,385 miles.

Estimate: $40,000 - $50,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

Terms & Conditions The terms and conditions of sale listed here contain the policies of Webb’s. They are the terms on which Webb’s and the Seller contract with the Buyer. They may be amended by printed Saleroom Notices or oral announcements made before and during the sale. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms. 1. Background to the Terms used in these Conditions The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows: “the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer. “the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue. “the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot. “the Buyer’s Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price. “the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Webb’s has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold. “Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including re-painting). “the insured value” means the amount that Webb’s in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by Webb’s). All values expressed in Webb’s Ltd catalogues (in any format) are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$). All bids, “hammer price”, “reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions of value are understood by all parties to be in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$) unless otherwise specified. 2. Webb’s Auctions as Agent Except as otherwise stated Webb’s Ltd acts as agent for the Seller. The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer. 3. Before the Sale Examination of Property Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place. Neither Webb’s nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph below. The property is otherwise sold “AS IS” Catalogue and Other Descriptions All statements by Webb’s in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Webb’s of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or it’s value for any other purpose. Neither Webb’s nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material. Images are measured height by width (sight size). Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue. An item bought “on Extension” must be paid for in full before it will be released to the purchaser or his/her agreed expertising committee or specialist. Payments received for such items will be held “in trust” for up to 90 days or earlier, if the issue of authenticity has been resolved more quickly. Extensions must be requested before the auction. Foreign buyers should note that all transactions are in New Zealand dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk. The costs associated with acquiring a good opinion or certificate will be carried by the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or

WEBB’S | AUGUST 201 9

otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the vendor. Buyers Responsibility All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Webb’s or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report. No lot to be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in liquid or treated by any other process unless the Auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot to such immersion or treatment has first been obtained in writing. 4. At the Sale Refusal of Admission Webb’s reserves the right at our complete discretion to refuse admission to the auction premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration Before Bidding Any prospective new buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide photo identification before bidding. Webb’s may request bank, trade or other financial references to substantiate this registration. Bidding as a Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyer’s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Webb’s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Webb’s and that Webb’s will only look to the principal for payment. International Registrations All International clients not known to Webb’s will be required to scan through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Webb’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Webb’s also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid. This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 cannot be charged to this card without prior arrangement. This deposit is redeemable against any auction purchase and will be refunded in full if no purchases are made. Absentee Bids Webb’s will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Webb’s after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted. Telephone Bids Priority will be given to overseas and bidders from other regions. Arrangements for this service must be confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction commencing. Webb’s accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute bids. In telephone bidding the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Webb’s cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction. Webb’s will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any other sale room notices. Online Bidding Webb’s offers an online bidding service. When bidding online the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here by Webb’s. Webb’s accepts no responsibility for any errors, failure to execute bids or any other miscommunications regarding this process. It is the online bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the relevant information regarding bids, lot numbers and contact details. Webb’s does not charge for this service. Reserves Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a

reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Minimum Price Guarantee The seller of lots designated with the symbol * has been guaranteed a minimum price financed solely by Webb’s. Where the guarantee is provided by a third party or jointly by Webb’s and a third party, the Lot will be denoted with the symbols **. When Webb’s has solely guaranteed the minimum price, Webb’s will bear the risk that the lot will not be sold or will sell below the guaranteed minimum price in which case Webb’s will bear a financial loss. Webb’s may bid at the auction, and this will be disclosed, but only until the guaranteed minimum price. When a third party has financed all or part of our financial interest in a lot, it assumes all or part of the risk that the lot will not be sold and will be remunerated accordingly. The compensation will be a fixed fee, a percentage of the hammer price or the buyer’s premium or some combination of the foregoing. The third party may bid on the guaranteed lot during the auction, and this will be disclosed in a saleroom announcement. If the third party is the successful bidder, the remuneration may be netted against the hammer price. If the lot is not sold, the third party may incur a loss. The Minimum Price Guarantee amount will not be disclosed to the public. Where Webb’s has guaranteed a minimum price on every lot in the catalogue, Webb’s will not designate each lot with the symbol(s) for the guaranteed lots but will state our financial interest at the front of the catalogue. Auctioneers Discretion The Auctioneer has the right at his/her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he/she may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case or error or dispute and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then Webb’s sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid and Passing of Risk Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes immediately to the Buyer. Indicative Bidding Steps, etc. Webb’s reserves the right to refuse any bid, withdraw any lot from sale, to place a reserve on any lot and to advance the bidding according to the following indicative steps:

(Goods and Services Tax) where applicable. Payment and Passing of Title The buyer must pay the full amount due (comprising the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes and GST) not later than 2 days after the auction date. The buyer will not acquire title to the lot until Webb’s receives full payment in cleared funds, and no goods under any circumstances will be released without confirmation of cleared funds received. This applies even if the buyer wishes to send items overseas. Payment can be made by direct transfer, cash (not exceeding NZD$10,000, if wishing to pay more than NZD$10,000 then this must be deposited directly into a Bank of New Zealand branch and bank receipt supplied) and EFTPOS (please check the daily limit). Payments can also be made by credit card in person with a 2.2% merchant fee for Visa and Mastercard and 3.3% for American Express. Invoices that are in excess of $5,000 and where the card holder is not present, cannot be charged to a credit card without prior arrangement. Personal cheques are accepted, but funds must be cleared before goods will be released. Bank cheques are subject to five days clearance. The buyer is responsible for any bank fees and charges applicable for the transfer of funds into Webb’s account. Collection of Purchases & Insurance Webb’s is entitled to retain items sold until all amounts due to us have been received in full in good cleared funds. Subject to this, the Buyer shall collect purchased lots within 2 days from the date of the sale unless otherwise agreed in writing between Webb’s and the Buyer. At the fall of the hammer, insurance is the responsibility of the purchaser. Packing, Handling and Shipping Webb’s will be able to suggest removals companies that the buyer can use but takes no responsibility whatsoever for the actions of any recommended third party. Webb’s can pack and handle goods purchased at the auction by agreement and a charge will be made for this service. All packing, shipping, insurance, postage & associated charges will be borne by the purchaser. Permits, Licences and Certificates Under The Protected Objects Act 1975, buyers may be required to obtain a licence for certain categories of items in a sale from the Ministry of Culture & Heritage, PO Box 5364, Wellington. Remedies for Non-Payment If the Buyer fails to make full payment immediately, Webb’s is entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available under the law). • to charge interest at such a rate as we shall reasonably decide. • to hold the defaulting Buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery along with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. • to cancel the sale. • to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we see fit. • to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer. In these circumstances the defaulting Buyer can have no claim upon Webb’s in the event that the item(s) are sold for an amount greater than the original invoiced amount. • to set off against any amounts which Webb’s may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer. • where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to us, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs. • to reject at any future auction any bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer prior to accepting any bids. • to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. The Buyer will be deemed to have been granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security

for said Buyer’s obligations to us. • to take such other action as Webb’s deem necessary or appropriate. If we do sell the property under paragraph (4), then the defaulting Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon reselling as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kinds associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (5) the Buyer acknowledges that Webb’s shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount. Failure to Collect Purchases Where purchases are not collected within 2 days from the sale date, whether or not payment has been made, we shall be permitted to remove the property to a warehouse at the buyer’s expense, and only release the items after payment in full has been made of removal, storage handling, insurance and any other costs incurred, together with payment of all other amounts due to us. 6. Extent of Webb’s Liability Webb’s agrees to refund the purchase price in the circumstances of the Limited Warranty set out in paragraph 7 below. Apart from that, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any lots. Except as stated in paragraph 7 below, neither the Seller, ourselves, our officers, agents or employees give any representation warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. Except as required by local law any warranty of any kind is excluded by this paragraph. 7. Limited Warranty Subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, the Seller warrants for the period of thirty days from the date of the sale that any property described in this catalogue (noting such description may be amended by any saleroom notice or announcement) which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named author or authorship is authentic and not a forgery. The term “Author” or “authorship” refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source, or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the catalogue. The warranty is subject to the following: it does not apply where a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts at the date of the sale or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or b) correct identification of a lot can be demonstrated only by means of a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the publication of the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property. The benefits of the warranty are not assignable and shall apply only to the original buyer of the lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by Webb’s when the lot was sold at Auction. The Original Buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party. The Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against the Seller in place of any other remedy which might be available, is the cancellation of the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid for the lot less the buyer’s premium which is non-refundable. Neither the Seller nor Webb’s will be liable for any special, incidental nor consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits. The Buyer must give written notice of claim to us within thirty days of the date of the Auction. The Seller shall have the right, to require the Buyer to obtain two written opinions by recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to the Buyer and Webb’s to decide whether or not to cancel the sale under warranty. The Buyer must return the lot to Seller in the same condition that it was purchased. 8. Severability If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the Conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9. Copyright The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by Webb’s relating to a lot including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall remain the property at all times of Webb’s and shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else without our prior written consent. Webb’s and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a property will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it. 10. Law and Jurisdiction These terms and conditions and any matters concerned with the foregoing fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand, unless otherwise stated. 11. Pre-Sale Estimates Webb’s publishes with each catalogue our opinion as to the estimated price range for each lot. These estimates are approximate prices only and are not intended to be definitive. They are prepared well in advance of the sale and may be subject to revision. Interested parties should contact Webb’s prior to auction for updated pre-sale estimates and starting prices. 12.

Goods and Service Tax GST is applicable on the hammer price in the case where the seller is selling property that is owned by an entity registered for GST. GST is also applicable on the hammer price in the case where the seller is not a New Zealand resident. These lots are denoted by a dagger symbol † placed next to the estimate. GST is also applicable on the buyer’s premium. Overseas buyers and buyers non-resident in New Zealand will not be charged GST on both hammer price and premiums under the following conditions: The items are exported through a Webb’s approved freight company including New Zealand Post. The items are exported within 60 days of the date of the sale The invoice supplied by Webb’s for purchases will be regarded as a Tax invoice for GST purposes. 14. Jewels & Watches Gemstones Gemstones have historically been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearances. Sapphires and rubies are routinely heat treated to improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same purpose. Other treatments such as staining and dyeing, irradiation, filling or coating may have been used on other precious and semiprecious gemstones and organic material. These treatments may be permanent, whilst others may need special care to preserve their appearance. Buyers should assume that each lot has been subject to some form of treatment and that the estimates reflect this. A number of laboratories issue certificates that give detailed descriptions of gemstones, and in the event that Webb’s has been supplied with or obtained certificates for any lot, this shall be noted in the catalogue. However, as there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degree, or types of treatment of the gemstones Webb’s supplies these without warranty. Pearls Pearls, like gemstones, can also be subjected to various treatments. Buyers should assume that any pearls sold by Webb’s may have been subjected to such treatments, and that the catalogue estimates reflect this. Watches Please note: All watches sold by Webb’s are sold on an “as is” basis. Webb’s makes no representation or warranty that any watch is in working order. Many watches have been repaired over their lifetime and may contain non-original parts. The absence of any reference to the condition of a watch does not imply that the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Buyers should be aware that a general service charge for battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Estimated Weights If a stone has a known weight, it has been weighed out of the mount. If a stone has an estimated weight, it is an approximate weight only and has been measured by us in the mount and is a statement of opinion only. The information is given as a guide only and Buyers should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.
