Foreword In December 2016 Webb’s was privileged to auction Part One of The Roy Savage Collection of Classic Cars, with a pronounced British theme The sale was an overwhelming success with all 30 vehicles selling, many in excess of their upper estimate. Following on from these outstanding results and Roy’s passing in 2017, the Savage Family have again entrusted Webb’s to market the balance of their father’s passion with this, Part Two of ‘The Roy Savage Collection of Classic Cars’. If there was one marque that truly endowed itself to Roy, it was that of Rolls-Royce a love affair that began in 1970s and would continue for the rest of his life. With seven examples offered including a New Zealand new 1951 Silver Dawn and an ultra-low mileage 1978 Corniche Convertible proliferating the sale of these models represents what is arguably one of the largest (and rarest) opportunities not just in Australasia but indeed globally to purchase a RollsRoyce spanning a 70-year spectrum. In a similar vein, the two Bentleys offered demonstrate a similar standard of build with long, and enduring histories of support with distinctly local ownership. Whilst clearly the sedentary style of the Rolls/Bentley was much enjoyed by Roy Savage it would be remiss of us to forget the sporting side of his nature as a regular and successful Wellington squash player a trait, epitomised by his ownership of the Allard Palm Beach Convertible being one of only 74 of this model manufactured. As a longtime favourite of Cobra designer, Carroll Shelby and Mike Hawthorne contemporary (‘mon ami mate’) Peter Collins, the scarcity of Allards (there were only 1900 manufactured in total) marks this as a very limited chance to obtain a true piece of motoring history with much overseas interest already exhibited. For buyers whose need is more fundamental, the two 5 Series BMWs portray pace with dignity and style both having been used as prime transport for the Savage family at various times. And still in keeping with the Germanic tone the 1968 Mercedes Benz 280SL listed bears the rare hard and soft top combination. The vigorous bidding for one of these cars in the previous sale is anticipated yet again.

For those who favour the agrarian pursuit, the 1964 Land Rover 2A will surely suit their purpose. Carrying today a cult classic status largely due to their enduring and iconic look this example is in fine condition. A final review of some of the collection would not be complete without the inclusion of the 1973 Rover 3500. Used by Roy as a daily driver, this car was clearly a formative vehicle in his life being its sole keeper since its delivery to him in Blenheim on 6 June 1973. With a mileage of a mere 62,623 kilometres this is an automobile that classic car and Rover enthusiasts alike will savour! Throughout the compilation of this catalogue, Webb’s has been privileged to view the files that accompany each car. Such access has given us a rare insight into the manner of Roy’s working plus in some cases the involvement of his family. For example, the handwritten notes that outline in detail the attributes of a particular model or specific example that he is contemplating buying. The often-typed carbon copy of a letter to an owner with a request to let him know, “should he ever decide to sell”. The courtesy of extending a thank you to a seller for putting him up for the night either prior to or after a purchase are all documented, along with comprehensive fuel consumption figures from trips around the country. In short, the Roy Savage Collection Part II continues to illustrate and augment Roy’s triumph in compiling such a fine selection of motor vehicles he began so many years ago and which Webb’s is honoured to present on behalf of the Savage Family. Acknowledgements: The material in this catalogue could not have been prepared without the assistance of the New Zealand Rolls-Royce & Bentley Club Inc and in particular input from Tom King and John Cameron. Darell Allard (nephew of Sydney Allard) has also been instrumental in confirming facts about the cars produced by his family and delivered here new. Long term Savage family friend, Scott Stevenson has additionally provided much help as the “go to guy” for confirmation of many facts about the vehicles.

The Rolls-Royce Collection The history of Rolls-Royce dates to 4 May 1904 when Henry Royce was introduced to Charles Rolls over lunch at the Midland Hotel in Manchester. Royce had run an electrical and mechanical business since 1884, while Rolls was one of Britain’s first car dealers. What brought these two men together, however, was the two-cylinder Royce 10 that was made by Royce in 1904. Rolls preferred three-and four-cylinder cars, however, he was so impressed by Royce’s twocylinder vehicle that he promised him to take as many of Royce’s cars as he could make. Royce and Rolls reached an agreement according to which four models would be made, all bearing the Rolls-Royce name and sold exclusively by Rolls. The first Rolls-Royce two-cylinder car was presented at the Paris Salon at the end of 1904. In 1906, the two entrepreneurs formed Rolls-Royce Limited and started to look for an appropriate location for a factory. They considered several locations including Manchester where Royce already had a site but eventually settled for Derby because the city council offered them cheap electricity. The Rolls-Royce factory in Derby was designed by Royce, with production beginning in 1908. In addition to the two-, three- and four-cylinder cars, Royce started working on development of a new six-cylinder model, the 40/50 hp. In the following years, Rolls-Royce focused exclusively on the new model which came to be known as the Silver Ghost. It was this

very same 40/50 model that made Rolls-Royce one of the worlds most desirable brands and forced the company to open a second factory in the United States to be able to keep up with the demand. The factory in Springfield, Massachusetts however, was closed in 1931 as a result of the Great Depression. After the end of the First World War, Rolls-Royce avoided all the attempts to merge with other British car producers adjusting successfully to the then difficult market demands. With sales of the 40/50 model dropping, Rolls-Royce introduced a less expensive Twenty model in the early 1920s. In 1931 Rolls-Royce acquired Bentley and the factory in Cricklewood closed. Production was moved to Rolls-Royce’s facilities in Derby. Until the Second World War, Bentley was regarded as a kind of a sporty version of Rolls-Royce. After the end of the war and until 2002, the standard Bentley and Rolls-Royce models were virtually identical. From a local perspective the first two Rolls-Royce cars were shipped to New Zealand in 1906. The Rolls-Royce Owners Club was established in 1961 which in 1971 morphed into the flourishing New Zealand RollsRoyce and Bentley Club Inc. The seven Rolls-Royce and two Bentleys in this sale provide some of the finest examples of these marques not just locally but also in a global context.

1953 Bentley R Type Chassis no: 488TN Engine no: B444T

Closely related style-wise to the Bentley Mark VI the R-Type first saw the light of day at the 1952 London Motor Show. Essentially, the Bentley Mark VI became the R-Type for no other reason than the fact that chassis numbers had by that time reached the letter ‘R’. With a larger boot, luggage capacity increased to 17.4 cubic feet and the entire car was lengthened by 7.5 inches. The boot lid was hinged from the top and rear suspension modified to cope with the increased load due to these enhancements. An automatic choke replaced the hand throttle and choke of the Mark VI. The trusty General Motors inspired hydra-matic transmission was an option. The car represented here however features a manual gearbox. This example was purchased by Roy Savage on 20 July 1979 from William Durling an insurance executive, resident in New Plymouth and whom imported the car presumably when he moved here in 1969. The first year of registration is listed though as 1970. It seems that whilst Mr. Durling was the vehicle’s owner, it’s actual sale was entrusted to Mr. Andrew Ritchie of Blenheim via his dealership, Yesterdays Antiques and Collectors Cars which a window card and correspondence confirm. Prior to this on 29 September 1953, Rippon Bros Ltd of Huddersfield, Yorkshire delivered the vehicle to Mr. L.S. Delapena of Cheltenham. A second owner is recorded on 1 October 1953 as Zona Works. On 3 March 1958 Cherrington & K.D.M Ltd of 9 Albermarle Street, London are listed as owners number three with a subsequent keeper being R.J. Scrivener of Carlton Hill, London NW8. Thereafter, on 8 May 1969 Thomas and Reginald Fox are listed with Bill Durling’s purchase in November of the same year. Some UK receipts accompany the car. Other correspondence from Rolls-Royce refers to the availability of the “Tudor Grey Belco 222/2033 paint and red upholstery VM 3195”. Contributing notes indicate that the motor had a total overhaul at 130,000 MILES as well as a re-conditioned back axle including bearings and seals. Similar work appears to have been accorded the brakes. A Smiths (UK) push-button radio is fitted, and a tool kit is also present. In its time the Bentley R-Type was a very expensive motor car that was designed and built to standards unmatched by any other manufacturer of the era. Today it is still a masterpiece exhibiting fullness and competency, such is the measure of a successful design!

Estimate: $65,000 - $75,000 This vehicle will be sold licenced with WoF.

1962 Morris Minor 1000 Chassis no: M /A53942154 Engine no: 9M-U-L577233

The Morris Minor debuted at the London Motor Show on 20 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 the overall concept and vision of Alec Issigonis that produced a practical, economic and affordable car for the postwar general public that would equal if not surpass the convenience and design quality of a more expensive vehicle. This approach was stated by him in later years saying that he wanted to create an economic car that; “the average man would take pleasure in owning rather than feeling it was something he’d been sentenced to. People who drive small cars are the same size as those that drive large cars and they should not be expected to put up with claustrophobic interiors”. This 4-door example from the Savage Collection is a Series III model delivered new in Hastings on 22 May 1962 by Stewart Greer Motors as proclaimed by dash fitted plaque. First owner being Mrs. A.P Pallesen. A further two owners are listed on original registration papers prior to purchase by Roy Savage in March 1986. Roy Savage always had a passion for Morris Minors with his mother Maude having driven them for many years throughout his childhood. Obtaining his licence at 15 years of age, Roy then proceeded to drive himself to school in his mum’s car. This particular version being a later model with a 948cc engine and a hp upgrade from 30 to 37 bhp plus a new gearbox with a higher ratio 3rd gear such enhancements would have made short work of things as Roy traversed the hills of Wellington! The original handbook and black plate accompany the vehicle. Current mileage is 95,874 MILES.

Estimate: $5,000 - $7,500 This vehicle will be sold licenced with WoF.

1995 Rolls- Royce Silver Spirit III Chassis no: H55593 Engine no: 82202L410/NKR

The Silver Spirit was introduced by Rolls-Royce in 1980 as the first of a new generation of models which went on to form the basis for the Flying Spur, Silver Dawn and Bentley Mulsanne series. Carried over were many of the fundamentals from the Silver Shadow design including the 6.75-litre V8, General Motors sourced gearbox and unitary bodywork courtesy of Pressed Steel Ltd. Produced between 1993-1996, the Spirit III enjoyed dual airbags, independent rear seat adjustment as well as being the first Rolls-Royce to display a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy. Ride quality continued to be a priority albeit with the hydropneumatics selflevelling suspension modified with a Girling ride height control arrangement along with gas-charged shock absorbers, dual airbags and independently adjustable rear seats. Production statistics for this model were a mere 234. First registered in Singapore on 7 April 1995 as ED7B, the car was shipped to New Zealand and sold by Giltrap Prestige of Auckland on 16 July 1999. With a recorded mileage currently of a meter of 28,719 kilometres the Ming Blue exterior is offset beautifully by a Parchment Hide interior with blue piping and matching blue carpet. Such a combination personifies the meaning of luxury especially when applied to motoring.

Estimate: $30,000 - $40,000 This vehicle will be sold licenced with WoF.

1986 BMW 525e Chassis no: WBAD 8620601099703 Engine no: 1099703

Known as part of the E28 series, the 525e bears the letter ‘e’ being the seventh letter of the Greek alphabet and pronounced ‘eta’ is in its lower-case form used as the scientific symbol of efficiency. In order for BMW to achieve this feat a 2.5-litre block was machined out to 2.7-litre and a different head selected with small ports, valves and a 520i inlet manifold. As a consequence of this work and coupled with a 4-speed automatic transmission and a long gearing ‘extra’ gas mileage in excess of 30 mpg was accomplished via 129 bhp with a top speed of circa 120 mph. On a long trip however it was not unusual for owners to achieve a figure closer to 40 mpg. All this from a practical, usable classic with enough power to be genuinely fun to drive! This Cosmo Blue Metallic example offered for sale as part of the Savage Collection was delivered new to Roy Savage on 20 August 1986 by long time Wellington BMW agents, Shelly Motors. The car was driven extensively by the Savage family with Roy using it frequently for picking up overseas business clients when they visited New Zealand. Mileage today is 230,763 kilometres. Pepperpot mag wheels, handbook, a sunroof, touch-up paint and comprehensive service invoices supplement a fine example of this now soughtafter BMW model.

Estimate: $5,000 - $7,000 This vehicle will be sold licenced with WoF.

1973 Rover 3500 Chassis no: 45032121B Engine no: 45502543

Car and Driver magazine was somehow ahead of the man in the street when they called the Rover 2000TC “An automotive milestone” as even greater accolades were about to come for the new P6 V8 3500. This exciting model was strangely branded the Three Thousand Five to avoid confusion with the P5 3.5-litre that remained in production until 1973. The Buick-based engine, was borrowed from the earlier Rover P5. This new tour-de-force shared the same body and features of the smallerengined 2000 P6 saloon as well as the de Dion rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. The 3500 was only available with an automatic transmission until 1971 when the four-speed manual 3500S model was released. In automatic form, the car was able to achieve 0-6-mph in 10.1 seconds. No slouch! Interestingly from 1971-1976 Rover 3500’s like this example were assembled in New Zealand at the New Zealand Motor Corp’s assembly plant in Stoke, Nelson, alongside the Triumph 2000/2500, Jaguar XJ6 (Series 1 and 2) and Land Rover (Series 3). Furthermore, the Rover 3500 was an export car for New Zealand as 2,400 were shipped to Australia in return for Leyland P76 CKD kits. Painted in the Rover Factory colour of Tobacco Leaf with sandalwood upholstery, this car is accompanied by its original handbook and invoice issued by Wrightcars Blenheim on its delivery date of 6 June 1973. Other delivery ephemera is also included such as an options brochure and global service data. Invoices for the latter are both comprehensive and meticulously retained in a specific file compiled by Mr. Savage with handwritten trip notes and comments such as “Seats. Do not use detergent to clean – use damp cloth, mild soap”. With a mileage of a mere 62,623 kilometres, this car was clearly a formative vehicle in Roy Savage’s life being its sole keeper throughout his life. A highly desirable automobile with a rare provenance.

Estimate: $6,000 - $9,000 This vehicle will be sold licenced with WoF.

1927 Rolls-Royce 20 h.p Chassis no: GYL 82 Engine no: X3E

The changes that prevailed in the aftermath of WWI forced Rolls-Royce to abandon its one model policy and introduce in 1922 an all-new 20h.p vehicle to join the Silver Ghost. The advent of such a car was as much as anything designed to appeal to the burgeoning owner-driver market proving to be a remarkable success. Indeed, such vehicles with smaller horse power would continue to sell well right up until the Second World War. Of particular interest to Henry Royce at this time though were the contemporary trends that were emerging from the US automobile industry such as incorporating unit construction of engine and gearbox. The engine in the 20h.p model was the first from the company with overhead valves, 6 cylinders and a displacement of 3127cc. As much as the car was well received (2885 were built) the 3-speed central transmission gear change received less than favourable comments which continued through until 1925 when a 4-speed gearbox with a right-hand gated change was introduced along with 4-wheel servo- assisted brakes. Overall, both motoring press and customers alike were impressed by the silent running and build quality as ‘The Best Car in the World’ bought the marque a new clientele. Built in 1927, this particular example was sold new to France for customer Mr. B.J Rosenthal in 1928, who in January of that same year arranged for it to be delivered to coachbuilders, Barkers for the fitting of a Brougham body. Additional equipment included a speedo with trip recorder, a fuel gauge calibrated in litres, a chassis plate peculiar to France named a Goshawk as well as rear hydraulic dampers. There is no suggestion that it should have been produced in a left-hand drive configuration. In 1938 the vehicle returned to the UK. Its use in France in these intervening years are unknown though factory servicing records tend to indicate that such work was completed by both Rolls-Royce in Paris and Biarritz. One fact though that is hard to fathom is that of a chassis number change on 10 March 1928 from GXL 51 to the current one of GYL 82. Sometime during this period (circa 1938), the car was returned to the UK where Rolls-Royce stripped it of its body, completely reconditioned it and shipped it to Australia. It was then bought by Mr. Charles Wright of Sydney but later sold again via York Motors there. It was then purchased by local butter and egg merchant, J.H.L. Moseley who until 1940 used the car without a complete body to transport crates of eggs. Around this time, he enlisted Properts of Sydney to build a new saloon body similar to that of a Chevrolet Master. In 1956 Mr. Alex Ermington purchased it and used it as daily transport for his family of eight and for camping trips. In 1964 GYL 82 minus its body, rear of the scuttle was bought by a Mr. Fitzgerald who stored it under canvas in the open for 18 months. Following this in 1966 a saloon body from a 1928 Crossley was fitted. In 1969 however this was removed upon delivery to Vintage & Veteran Restorations who created a replica in the form of an H.J. Mulliner drop head coupe with dickey seat and “V” windscreen very much in the style

WEBB’S | MA RCH 201 9

of the vehicle’s original body. In 1975 ownership passed to Mr. R.A. Prangnell of Bowral, NSW who drove the car regularly until his death in 1997. Via his widow the car was then sold in June 1997 through Geoff Goodman to Wilbert Feinberg also of Bowral thence to John Cameron of Carterton in 2002 where the vehicle had been on display at the Sydney Motor Show. It subsequently became part of a collection of 20 marque cars before being obtained by Roy Savage in 2012 who then proceeded to drive it home via the Rimutakas! Speedometer currently displays 6,586 MILES. The original service books and some tools accompany the vehicle. With a foldable top, dickey seat, serpentine horn and flower vase this truly hand built automobile represents the finest of early prestige motoring. Notes; The fact that a vehicle has been re-bodied should not be regarded as a negative indeed, when cars such as these were in their heyday such action was akin to a fashion statement and was thus not uncommon. Acknowledgements; thanks to past owner John Cameron and the late Roy Tilley/Ken White authors of ‘Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the land of the Silver Fern’ for their assistance in cataloguing this lot.

1964 Land Rover Series IIA Chassis no: 24304989B Engine no: 525183

Inspired by the wartime ‘Jeep’ of the US Army, Rover bosses the Wilks brothers foresaw a need for a tough four-wheel drive utility vehicle to meet the requirements of the farming community in the immediate post-war period. The success of such a vehicle took the company somewhat by surprise, particularly the use of corrosion resistant aluminum a virtue, given the then prevalent steel shortage. Similarly, so was the usage of then current Rover components including the engine from the P3 saloon which ensured that production and development costs were minimised. Introduced in 1958, the Series II with its more rounded sides was the first update since the model’s launch 10 years prior. Additionally, two engines were available; either the 2286cc petrol version or the then newly developed 2052 diesel version. The IIA model as represented by the Savage collection example was built between 1961-1971 and is considered today to be the ‘most hardy’ of the Land Rover breed with some 70% of them still in working order. This original 2 owner example was owned by a Savage family friend, Bill Beasley who used the vehicle virtually exclusively for launching his fishing dinghy off his Taupo lakefront lawn. With Grandad Roy (Roy Savage’s father) they would head off for one of their numerous fishing excursions. Upon Bill’s death Roy purchased it from the estate but rarely used it hence such minimal mileage. What is also interesting is that all servicing has been undertaken by a sole entity, Tauranga- Taupo Garage at Turangi. An original number plate, first aid kit and handbooks are all included along with a working winch. Speedometer reads 20,142 MILES.

1987 BMW 525ee Chassis no: 1866697 Engine no: 186697

The second of the ‘5’ series BMWs offered from the Savage Collection is in New Zealand terms, a rare example of the E28 genre. Sold in Europe as the 525e Lux the extra ‘e’ was utilized in a local environment to distinguish it as a fully optioned version for this market viz; the ‘e’ meaning electric everything! Delivered new in NZ on 18 September 1987 to Mr. P.W Shearer, a resident of the Wellington suburb of Khandallah, it was subsequently sold to Roy Savage on 15 October 2004. The two-owner vehicle has a mileage today of only 108,603 kilometres. The E28 ‘5’ Series was particularly regarded for the fact that its interior console was the first of its kind angled towards the driver. The benefit of this was a minimisation of eye movement in a driving environment in order to check controls such as stereo and aircon. Something that was subsequently adopted by many manufacturers thereafter. Contemporary road tests of the period quote an in-traffic fuel consumption of around 34 mpg likening it to driving a diesel but minus any engine rattle or smelly fumes. A far from common vehicle in fine condition and finished in a lustrous Delphin Metallic comes complete with toolkit, handbook and touch-up paint.

1952 BSA A10 Golden Flash Frame no: ZA 7523551 Engine no: BA 101243

The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited (BSA) was a major British industrial manufacturing group making everything from firearms to buses. Motorcycles were added to their product line in 1910 with the BSA 3½ h.p first exhibited at the 1910 Olympia Show. In 1949 a new 650cc model joined BSA’s then current 500cc A7 model. The existing parallel twin architecture of the A7 was retained for the A10 with a 360-degree crankshaft as well as a single camshaft at the rear of the cylinder block. Similarly, the four-speed gearbox is bolted directly to the crankcase in a type of semi-unitary construction and again like the A7, the A10 offered either a rigid frame or plunger rear suspension. Strikingly finished in a pale beige metallic the new 650 was named the ‘Golden Flash’ (sometimes shortened to Gold Flash) a name, that has subsequently always been its identifier despite an intervening seven decades and even when finished in an alternative colour despite at this time most British motorcycles wearing a dour black on black! Thus, the Golden Flash toning was viewed as being very trendy at that time in post-war Britain. Purchased by Roy Savage on 8 August 2007 from Broadway Auto Court in Palmerston North, the bike was then passed to marque experts, Basil Gowenlock and John Neil for over six months of restoration which culminated in it winning the Des Finlay Trophy for Best Club restoration at the 2008 British Car Day at Trentham.

Estimate: $9,000 - $12,000 Motorcycle will be sold registered and with current WoF.

1955 Allard Palm Beach Mark 1 Convertible Chassis no: 21Z5158 Engine no: EOTTA 93835

Sydney Allard began the Allard Motor Company Ltd in 1945 after World War II. With a passion for motorsport, Mr. Allard who was a gentleman racer himself used his engineering skills to create vehicles that were first competition driven before turning his attention to those of a more touring nature. The Clapham, London based company produced only 1900 cars which were made famous by the likes of; Carroll Shelby, Masten Gregory and John Fitch before ceasing car production in 1956 due to financial difficulties. Sydney Allard himself died in April 1966 on the same night as a fire destroyed the Clapham factory and most of its records. As a racing driver, Sydney Allard’s cars were largely predicated upon light weight, independent front suspension and American V8 power. Such characteristics enabled him to establish a formidable competition record in the immediate post-war era finishing, 3rd at Le Mans in 1950 and winning the Monte Carlo Rally in 1952. This latter feat makes him the only driver who was also the vehicle’s manufacturer ever to do so! Roy Savage’s alloy bodied Palm Beach tourer is one of 74 built between 1952-55. Whilst referred to in some texts as a K3 Roadster, Roy’s notice of acceptance as a member of the UK-based Allard Owners Club in March 2010 refers to it as a Palm Beach. Based on the chassis of a K3 it is known that in 1952 Allard adapted the Palm Beach “in a K3” style to offer a more refined

variant of the J2 and J2X models. Roy Savage owned a Palm Beach in his youth until marriage and children intervened and thus the need for a more practical form of transport. The car was subsequently sold by him but bought back circa 1962. At this stage it was in a deteriorating state therefore a restoration was entrusted to Custom Metal Shapers of Auckland from whom it subsequently emerged in its current condition complete with 3-speed gearbox, bench seat and dual filling points. Speedometer currently displays 1,277 MILES. Correspondence between Darell Allard (Sydney’s nephew), David Mosely of the Allard Owners Club (UK) and Webb’s suggest that this example was one of the last Mark I Palm Beach models produced. Unfortunately, the cheaper Triumph TR2 and Austin-Healey killed off the Palm Beach despite the Allard being the more comfortable car. Allard’s contention though was that the Palm Beach was never intended to be an out-and-out sports car. This rarity of British motoring manufacture is now ready for enjoyment by its next owner.

Estimate: $100,000 - $120,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with current WoF.

1952 Bentley MKVI Chassis no: B145PU Engine no: B2222P

“Patrician, yet sleek, striking yet unostentatious the Bentley Mark VI with standard steel saloon body is a fine specimen of the top-quality British car” - The Autocar, 1951. 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. Transmission was 4-speed synchromesh manual with a column mounted change lever on the right. The 4.6-litre also featured a twin exhaust. Leaf springs were fitted at the rear with independent coils up front. A control centred on the steering wheel provided an adjustment for the hardness of the former. A central reservoir allowed oil to be applied to the moving parts of the suspension. Drum brakes assisted the traditional mechanical servo of the times. Factory bodies were made by Pressed Steel Limited of Coventry and sent to the Bentley works at Crewe for painting and fitting with the traditional walnut. The Mark VI was introduced at a time of steel shortages across Europe which translated into a desperate lack of new cars for sale on the UK market. Such was the level of demand three-year old examples were selling for up to 30% more than their original purchase price. The Savage Collection car is one of the last Mark VI’s built of 1202 manufactured. The model was in production from 1946 to October 1952, when it was replaced by the “R TYPE”, the same car mechanically but with a longer chassis and a larger, upward opening boot. This example incorporates all the modifications and improvements to the model since 1945. These include a larger 4.6-litre engine and refinements such as windscreen washers, heated rear window as well as the original Smiths (UK) pushbutton radio. The car was delivered on 5 August 1952 to a Mr. Oscar L Richards of Edgebaston near Birmingham, he did not keep the car long before it was sold to Barbers Teas Ltd (established 1797) of Birmingham on 24 June 1953. They sold it on 8 October 1957 to Mr. J. H. W. Williams of Dudley Worcester, (also near Birmingham). Mr. Williams kept the car for 10 years before it was sold via a Knightsbridge, London dealer to Mr. Peter Wood of Surrey on 14 June 1967. At that time the odometer was showing 90,000 miles. Mr. Wood was an Englishman who was brought up in South Africa and lived out much of his life there before returning to the UK to farm in Surrey and later Cornwall. His elder daughter married a New Zealander and was living in Hawkes Bay. In 1968 he himself moved to New Zealand with his family and brought the car with him. It was first registered in New Zealand on 29 October 1968. Peter Wood has very fond memories of the car though one of his daughters says that she was always

WEBB’S | MA RC H 201 9

very embarrassed to be driven to Waipukurau High School in the Bentley because she got a great ribbing from the other pupils! When the car had done about 155,000 miles Peter Wood had the engine reconditioned by Colin Campbell, a Bentley trained mechanic in Hastings, with parts imported from Rolls-Royce & Bentley Ltd, Crewe. Peter Wood sold the car on 11 May 1973 via a Hastings dealer, to Mr. Harry Roucher also of Hastings. On 1 December 1975 Mr. Roucher sold the car to Bruce McIlroy the well-known Rolls-Royce & Bentley specialist of Ashburton. He sold the car on 18 November 1977 to Mr. Roger Lusby of Christchurch who in turn sold it to Dobbs Franks on 22 September 1978. Dobbs Franks was at that time the conductor of the Christchurch regional orchestra. He took the car to Melbourne on 2 March 1979 and used it for several long trips around eastern Australia until he returned to Auckland on 20 August 1981. Dobbs Franks then sold the car, via an Auckland dealer, on 16 June 1982 to Alan Jackson who had a motor business in Henderson. The mileage by then was 180,000 miles and the body and interior were in poor condition. Alan Jackson had a full ‘body off’ restoration carried out at considerable expense, the bodywork was done by Gulf Motor Bodies on the North Shore, Auckland, the body and chassis were sandblasted and rustproofed with new wheel spats fitted. The brightwork was re-chromed, new Wilton carpets fitted and the seats re-covered with new Connolly hide leather imported from the U.K. The woodwork was French polished again and new head linings fitted. Alan Jackson was an active member of the NZ Rolls-Royce & Bentley Club, and used the car on their numerous outings and rallies. After he retired to a farm in the King Country however he found he was not able to attend the Club’s activities conveniently and the car was sold to Michael & June Morris of Wellington on 17 June 1991. Michael & June owned the car for 11 years and took part in Rolls-Royce & Bentley Club activities in the region, as well as taking it for several trips to Hawke’s Bay. They sold the car to Roy Savage on 8 April 2002 and is presented today in a still virtual ‘concours’ condition. Speedometer now reads 7,598 MILES.

Estimate: $60,000 - $70,000 Vehicle will be sold registered and with current WoF.

2000 Mini Classic Cooper Sport Mark VII Chassis no: SAXXNPAZEY0186054 Engine no: 12A2LY70 398679

Britain’s best loved small car, the classic Mini had a production life of more than four decades throughout which it became a fashion statement, a motorsport hero and wore the mantle as one of the most influential cars in the world. Conceived in the first instance as a fuel saving, efficient and easy to drive small car Alec Issigonis’ masterpiece evolved over time until production concluded on 4 October 2000. By the late 1990s however the Mini had lost its cheap runabout image and with the backing of BMW, Rover re-engineered what was then a 38-year-old design to create what has now become known as ‘The Last Minis’. We have it on good authority from a member of the Savage family that ‘AFL 706’ is the last Mini sold new in NZ being registered in September 2001. Whilst technically a 2000 Model Year vehicle (April-October 2000) we can only assume that the car may have languished in the dealer’s showroom for some time prior to its sale. Being the last of the line has endowed the car with some features that befit this privilege of finality such as: • • • • • • • • • • •

Webasto style sun roof Mini logo radio Slotted race look window winders Solid steel gear knob Mini Cooper logos above rear wheel arches Flared guards Mini Lite style wheels Front spot lights Mini definitive side striping Classic red paint Original sales brochure

Webb’s is reliably informed that the story behind the car’s purchase is that Mrs. Renata Savage was sitting on a Wellington bus stop adjacent to the Mini dealer and getting tired of waiting for the public transport to eventuate bought both this example and a green one (retained by the family) and drove it home! The Savage family have been the sole owners of this time warp automobile which despite its age displays today a mileage minimal in the extreme with just 7,982 recorded kilometres.

1951 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Chassis no: SDB138 Engine no: S69B

Announced to much acclaim in New York in 1949 and shown at the International World’s Fair in Toronto, the Silver Dawn was not available for sale in Great Britain until 1951. With largely standardised coachwork the Silver Dawn was made in Crewe rather than Derby, indicating that in the post-war economy the days of the coachbuilt car in the traditional sense was largely over. With a pre-war 6-cylinder engine that was incapable of further development Rolls-Royce opted to fit their experimental war-time “B” series motor instead. Such an engine was in fact designed to run well over the 100,000-mile mark without requiring attention. With a bore size of 92.1mm and capacity of 4566cc, performance was heralded as “substantial”. The 4-speed gearbox has synchromesh on the three upper ratios and is considered by owners as “satisfying to use”. Braking is derived from the pre-war Mark V being servo assisted drums. A sliding metal sunroof is a standard fitting. The interior aimed at providing a high level of creature comfort in the fashion of the best gentleman’s club with leather upholstery, top quality carpet, push-button radio, walnut dash and door cappings along with wool headlining, all very sumptuous and expensive, complete with kneeling figure of ecstasy. Only 785 Dawns were made which is why they command the substantive prices that they do today. Registered new in New Zealand on 5 October 1951 the car’s first owner was Sir Jack Butland of Chesdale cheese fame. Following Sir Jack, were seven owners including Mr. Warren King the then General Manager of Tappenden Motors in Auckland. Following a visit by Roy Savage to view the vehicle it was purchased on 28 May 1980, which handwritten correspondence would appear to confirm. Present also and of note are two invoices for work carried out by Tappenden’s which display Mr. King’s staff discount of 10%! Original registration papers are on hand too. Mileage is 58,138 MILES with exterior paint that is probably original.

1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Chassis no: SEV485 Engine no: 8S2007

Upon release in 1995, the reaction to the Silver Cloud III design was somewhat muted principally, due to the new headlamp arrangement using four instead of the two previously. Several other improvements, however, tended to overcome this concern viz; a higher compression V8 extracted 7% more power “estimated” at 220bhp. It was “estimated” as the factory never divulged such information! With twin 2” SU carburetors and a 6.2-litre engine, four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, independent front suspension with coil springs and a more responsive servo-assisted braking system provided a smoother ride and quieter operation for passengers. Additionally, with slightly altered exterior dimensions plus, a remodeled interior Rolls-Royce managed to shave 100kg off the weight of the final iteration of this classic. Available in two wheelbase lengths most customers ordered the standard saloon. With discontinuance of the Series III at the end of the 1965 model year, so ended an era of distinctive and prestigious design in this legendary marque’s long history. Although original NZ registration papers show this vehicle to be a 1964 model it was for whatever reason not registered here until July 1971 being shipped from the UK with a mere 20 recorded kilometres! This particular example was bought by Roy Savage on 4 October 1976. Its upholstery and burr walnut woodwork are in fine condition as too is the chrome trim and glass. The gauges and switches are all fully functional. Recorded mileage is mere 46,437 MILES. Some spares and a workshop manual are included too. To summarize: a well-cared for beautifully presented and outstanding driving Silver Cloud III or as Autocar magazine of the time put it “It is a pity that a connoisseur’s car like the Rolls-Royce remains beyond the dreams of the vast majority of the world’s motorists, but good to know that there is a healthy market for them. They set a standard that is really appreciated best when one returns driving lesser cars.”

1979 Rolls- Royce Silver Shadow II Chassis no: SRH 36178 Engine no: 36178

Another design from renowned Rolls-Royce stylist John Polwhele Blatchley resulted in a look that was a major departure from its predecessor, the Silver Cloud. Most ‘Clouds’ were sold in the UK domestic market. However, the ever crowded and narrow roads lead to the manufacture of a car that was 8.9cm narrower and 18cm shorter yet still managed to provide an increase in passenger and luggage space as a consequence of the wonders of unitary construction. Additional new features were disc brakes and independent rear suspension. Initially equipped with a 172 hp engine an upgrade to 189 hp was enacted from 1970 along with the General Motors-sourced Hydramatic 400 gearbox. To add another distinction to the design a high-pressure hydropneumatic suspension system was licensed from Citroën. This setup offered dual circuit braking and hydraulic self-levelling suspension controlling both the front and rear end of the vehicle. The former however was in time deleted as it was determined that the rear portion performed the bulk of the work! With this arrangement Rolls-Royce achieved an outstanding degree of ride quality. The Silver Shadow II designation entered the marque vernacular in 1977 largely due to the aforementioned changes. 8425 examples were manufactured between 1977-80. With light blue upholstery matching a Caribbean Blue exterior, this car was delivered on 21 February 1979 by Appleyard Rippon of Leeds, Yorkshire and registered as “A7B1”. New Zealand registration was enacted in June 1985. Handbooks, a fitted radio and a mileage of 61,162 MILES complete the car. It should be noted though that some minor paint blemishes are present in proximity to the boot.

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

1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Manual Chassis no: 11304420004244 Engine no: 12098320001761

The launch of the W113 SL models came as a complete delight when Mercedes-Benz revealed their new sports car at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show. It successfully replaced both the legendary 300 SL and the 190 SL and its production ran through to 1971. Close to 50,000 cars were built and the familial endearing nickname “Pagoda” has stood the test of time, inspired by the car’s patented, slightly concaved hard-top. This beautifully classical and much desired sports car was conceived by lead designers Paul Bracq and Béla Barényl and was developed under the auspices of Mercedes-Benz Technical Director Fritz Nallinger, Chief Engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut and Head of Styling Friedrich Geiger. Equipped with an in-line6-cylinder engine with multi-port fuel injection, the bonnet, trunk, lid, door skins and hard-top roof was made of aluminium to reduce weight. The third version of this series, the 280SL was a technological masterpiece displacing 2778cc and 170hp. It was equipped with disc brakes front and rear, together with excellent independent suspension and radial tyres, the W113 280 SL thus displaying superb handling for a car of this era. Beyond its hi-tech evolution however, this car is simply beautiful in all its characteristics and still turns heads with its striking upright headlights and simple chrome grille, led by the three-pointed star which pays homage to the marque’s racing pedigree and the legendary 300SL roadster. Based on Béla Barényl’s extensive work on vehicle safety, a rigid passenger cell was developed with impact-absorbing front and rear sections built into the vehicle structure. The interior had all its hard corners and edges removed producing a state-of-the-art sports car for its time. Purchased by Roy Savage on 13 June 1977 from Almare Car Sales, Lower Hutt with a speedometer reading of 61,568 miles vehicle history indicates that this was originally an Australia delivered car being subsequently registered here in 1970. Finished in cream with a tan leather interior and bearing a 4-speed manual gearbox, the mileage today is still only 85,238 miles. Regrettably details of its life in Australia are unknown though four previous owners are noted on the window card from Almare. Roy Savage’s keen sense of humour is demonstrated with the original bill of sale listing his occupation as “squash player”! Receipts showing maintenance in recent years accompany the car along with the pagoda hard and soft tops, spare wheel, tool kit, handbook, service book and Becker radio guide are also present and in their original MB pouch.

1996 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Chassis no: SCAZN12CXTCH H57443 Engine no: 85589L41OM/N1T

The creation of the Silver Spur was largely based on the preceding Silver Shadow II to which it bore a family resemblance. Using the Shadow’s floor plan, the rear suspension was improved, and styling revised to include a lower waistline, increased glass area, with a more angular look, rectangular headlights plus a wider and squatter radiator. Separate rear seats and the re-introduction of folding picnic tables were additional to the development of an improved interior. The long-wheelbase ‘Spur’ was a major success for the company and by 1985 enjoyed similar sales to that of the shorter Silver Spirit despite being 20% more expensive. It was in 1995 when the fourth and final incarnation of the Silver Spur was introduced. Powered by a 6.75-litre V8 it produced 304bhp with a top speed of 140mph via a 4-speed automatic transmission. Delivered new by Malayan Motors, Singapore on 3 January 1996 and used as transport for the Chairman of the Bank of Singapore the car was subsequently imported in to New Zealand in June 2005. Current mileage is a mere 24,370 kilometres. The red pearl exterior contrasts beautifully the sandstone hide interior delivering a Rolls-Royce that even by their high standard is in a class of its own.

1978 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible 1 Drophead Chassis no: DRH31960 Engine no: 31960

“The name Corniche has been chosen for the latest coach-built models because it symbolizes their higher cruising speeds and their ability to cover greater distances with the minimum of fatigue for driver and passengers”. - Rolls-Royce press release of the era. The Rolls-Royce Corniche was produced from 1970 to 1995 as a variant of the Silver Shadow. Powered by a 235 bhp 6.75 V8 it had a top speed of 135mph. Each of the 5600 cars manufactured were built to individual order at Mulliner Park Ward Coachworks in London and took a month to handcraft. Connolly leather and Wilton carpeting were used throughout. Such painstaking attention to detail though did not come cheap with the price being 50% higher than that of the standard Silver Shadow. Many celebrities purchased this model namely; Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Elton John and Zsa Zsa Gabor to name but a few who fell for its luxury, class and power. Whilst periodically updated and revised the Corniche remained in production until 1995 The Savage Collection example was purchased by Mr. J Traynor of Liverpool on 28 April 1978 and subsequently imported by him to New Zealand in October 1980 being registered as JX9013. Some correspondence suggests Traynor took delivery directly from the Rolls-Royce factory though this cannot be verified. Ownership of the vehicle passed to Roy Savage on 9 August 1983 being part of his collection thereafter. Finished in Highland Green paintwork and with only 22,281 MILES on the clock the condition of this car can only be termed ‘as new’. A service guide, handbook and toolkit accompany the vehicle along with an original Corniche sales brochure. The power hood operates faultlessly and includes a tonneau cover. Period piece is the 8 track stereo! Considered by some the finest look ever from Rolls-Royce and the drawing board of designer John Polwhele Blatchley this example certainly attests to that contention.

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.

Absentee bids must follow these increments and any bids that don’t follow the steps will be rounded up to the nearest acceptable bid. 5. After the Sale Buyers Premium In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay to Webb’s the buyer’s premium. The buyer’s premium is 15% of the hammer price plus GST. (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. Sale Results Webb’s will provide auction results, which will be available as soon as possible after the sale. Results will include buyer’s premium. These results will be posted at www.webbs.co.nz 13. 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.
