FIVE BOOKS ON THE BRISTOL CARS MARQUE

24

L.J.K.SETRIGHT: A PRIVATE CAR - AN ACCOUNT OF THE BRISTOL

Limited edition two volume set published by Palawan Press 1998.

According to the publisher: “Setright’s Bristol book is essentially an account of all cars that have borne the name Bristol. It is written in the established Setright style, which is meant to be highly literate, comfortably personal, appropriately technical, adequately anecdotal, mildly scholarly, gently judgmental, and entirely honest.

Richard Newton, Michael Bailie and Julian Calder were specially commissioned to photograph 40 cars for inclusion in the book, in full colour. Other illustrations include early photographs of Bristol trams, aircraft and other products, of people associated with the company, and even of the 1940 Blitz.

The book is available in two editions, each published in a two-volume set measuring 333mm x 290mm each. The Word is over 200 pages and contains the full text. The Image is over 280 pages and contains all the pictures including some 411 photographs.”

Reviews “Were photographs to fade from being looked at, I would have some explaining to do… it is the text, however, that most intrigues and entrances.

Setright is as idiosyncratic, as original as obstinately traditional, as radically conservative and as technically astute as his subject.” – THE SPECTATOR Two volume set, ‘The Word’ and ‘The Image’, in light grey and yellow cloth bindings respectively, in good clean order, contained in slipcase and in original carton packaging.

Numbered 550/1000 £300-£400

MR. BRISTOL, THE REMARKABLE LIFE OF T.A.D.CROOK Mr. Bristol, The Remarkable Life of T.A.D. Crook

Three years in the making and lavishly illustrated, Mr Bristol celebrates the life of Tony Crook with a biography written by Michael Barton, a treasure trove of photographs from Crook’s racing career, and a generous selection of images (specially commissioned) from his most famous cars (built or owned).”

10 | NICK WELLS @ DORE & REES 28

COLIN CRABBE - THE THRILL OF THE CHASE

According to the publisher: “Dalton Watson’s latest autobiography is the life and times of that larger-than-life character, Colin Crabbe, who found himself at the forefront of motor racing, firstly as a privateer racing Ford GT40s in 1966 then driving in the 1967 World Championship. He cut his teeth during 1969 as an owner and team manager in Formula One having found he was too large to fit an F1. Colin reckoned he had to be one of the last great gentleman amateurs at the cutting edge of motor sport. In 1968 he located in East Germany one of the pre-war Silver Arrows, a Mercedes W125 Grand Prix car. Colin raced the Mercedes and numerous other historic racing cars until a bad crash put an end to this in 1988. When not motor racing, he travelled around the globe looking for forgotten treasures in the motoring world. What once was a hobby and passion had become a serious business, albeit one that involved Colin invariably getting himself into various scrapes, tangles and unusual adventures.”

1978 Mercedes-Benz 350SL

● Three owners from new, the current since 1993 ● Benefits from cosmetic renovation

The SLs of this era (the 107 chassis) really established themselves as an icon of quality and success on the Continent as well as the Americas. Unlike the previous SL range, these cars were rugged and durable and could accumulate high mileage and still remain reliable with just the most basic of care. The first of the generation was the 350SL, a car that is now beginning to occupy a strong place in the hearts of Mercedes-Benz collectors, it was the original pure design with no emissions equipment to speak of, small plated bumpers and manual windows.

Being lighter and unrestricted from an emissions standpoint meant the cars were lively performers as well as quiet and comfortable touring cars. Following the discontinuation of the SLC in September 1981, the 107 series continued initially as the 280, 380 and 500 SL. At this time, the V8 engines were re-tuned for greater efficiency.

2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500

● Factory fitted AMG styling from new

The R230 generation, produced from 2001 to 2008, marked a significant evolution in Mercedes-Benz’s iconic SL roadster line.

Representing the fifth iteration of the flagship two-door GT, the R230 debuted with an all-new design and cutting-edge technology, setting a benchmark for luxury roadsters.

The SL500 was powered by a 302bhp, 5.0-litre V8 engine, widely regarded as the sweet spot in the range. While the SL line expanded to include variants like the powerful yet nose-heavy V12 SL600 and, later, the SL350, the V8 struck an ideal balance between performance and refinement. Unlike its predecessors, the R230 introduced a retractable metal folding roof—a first for the SL. This innovation transformed the car into a hard-top coupé when closed, with the rare distinction of looking equally elegant whether the roof was up or down.

While the model underwent a facelift in 2008 that modernized its design and introduced new engines, early examples like this 2003 SL500 remain highly sought after. This lovely 2003 example, fitted with AMG bodystyling by the factory when new, was purchased some 7 years ago by the current owner, a qualified engineer.

During his ownership the car has been serviced

1970 Triumph TR6

● Original RHD, 150bhp model ● Recent comprehensive c.£48,000 restoration

The announcement that Triumph was building a two-seater convertible with a 2.5-litre straightsix engine, that developed 150bhp, was greeted with glee in the 1960s - and more than a little incredulity. Launched in 1968, with a ladder chassis supporting the pretty body, a fourspeed gearbox, disc/drum brake set-up, the fifteen-inch wheels and Michelin XAS tyres gave the TR6 class-beating handling, aided by fully independent rear suspension. For those seeking a proper sports car which is also easy to maintain, and with lineage back to the fourcylinder Triumphs of the 50s and 60s, this stylish six-cylinder sports car is regarded by some as the last true Triumph.

1965 Sunbeam Tiger

● 302 5.0L V8 engine, prepared by David Henning Motorsport ● Recent £11,000 mechanical refurbishment ● Rich racing pedigree, ready to compete once more

The Sunbeam Tiger represents a remarkable chapter in British-American automotive collaborations. Sixty years ago the first Tiger emerged from the production line, the story begins with Carroll Shelby, the legendary American car designer and racer, who saw the potential in the Sunbeam Alpine. His move was to fish out the original four-cylinder Alpine engine and replace it with a 4.0L American V8, creating a pocket-sized British hot rod that packed a formidable punch.

Unveiled in 1964, the Tiger was an instant sensation.

Rootes Group, in an ambitious bid to cement the Tiger’s credentials, entered the car in the 1964 Le Mans 24 Hours. With Shelby-supplied Ford V8 power under the hood and aerodynamic Lister bodywork, it seemed like a recipe for success. Carroll Shelby himself captured the spirit of this car with his famous words: “Unleash the Tiger!”

The Tiger quickly proved itself on the track, with a legacy in motorsport that is both distinguished and storied. In themid-1960s, the Tiger made a significant impact in American motorsport, especially in the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) races in 1965 and 1966,

where it frequently secured victories. Its prowess wasn’t confined to American soil; the Tiger also claimed a class victory in the 1966 Monte Carlo Rally and scored podium finishes in the prestigious Trans-Am Series, further solidifying its place in automotive history.

Approximately 7,085 Sunbeam Tigers were produced between 1964 and 1968, each one embodying the innovative spirit of the era. This particular Tiger, imported to the UK from South Africa in 1989, has built its own impressive legacy as a competitive historic racer. Over the years, it has amassed a series of achievements in the historic racing scene, including: 2005: Class A Joint Champion 2006: 3rd in Championship, Class A Joint Champion 2007: Sunbeam Intermarque Championship Winner, Class A Runner-Up, and Overall Runner-Up

The engine boasts forged domed pistons, a high-output alternator, and a high-torque starter, ensuring relentless performance and reliability. Complementing this powerplant is a suite of performance upgrades, including a new clutch, an Edelbrock inlet manifold, and a bespoke twin stainless steel exhaust system.

1954 Land-Rover Series I

Inspired by the US Army’s wartime ‘Jeep’, developed in haste and intended for short-term, small-scale production, the Land Rover would defy its creators’ initial scepticism. Rover bosses the Wilks brothers saw the need for a tough, four-wheel-drive, utility vehicle to serve the needs of the agricultural community in the immediate post-war years, but the Land Rover’s runaway success following its introduction in 1948 took the company by surprise. The necessity of using corrosion resistant aluminium panels at a time of severe steel shortage turned into a positive virtue in the Land Rover’s sphere of operations, and the use of existing components - including the P3 saloon’s 1,595cc, fourcylinder,

inlet-over-exhaust engine - kept production costs down and cut development time. There was permanent fourwheel drive with a lockable freewheel for the front axle, a Rover four-speed gearbox, and a two-speed transfer box offering high and

low ranges. Ruggedly built and simple in construction, the Land Rover proved capable of surviving in countries where conditions were primitive to say the least, a virtue that helped contribute to its worldwide acceptance. Indeed, it is estimated that two-thirds of all Land Rovers ever produced are still in existence today.

First registered in December of 1954 to Berkshire, the Land-Rover resided for many years on a Berkshire country estate, being used primarily by the estate’s gamekeeper. The Land-Rover was subject of a previous chassis-up restoration in 2015. We understand during the restoration the chassis was galvanised, and the engine rebuilt on a new block and converted to

unleaded. The truck retains its original body panel, axles, gearbox, tilt frame and wheels, which were overhauled at the time, in addition to the fitting of a new wiring loom. The suspension, brakes and transmission were refurbished, the vehicle refinished in satin Keswick Green, and the interior retrimmed.

Changing hands in 2018, the Land-Rover has been kept on the current owner’s driveway and used mainly for local trips and errands. On a sunny day with the canvas tilt removed, bouncing around an old Land-Rover is a fun place to be. The restoration has mellowed over the last few years, presenting a nicely preserved example of the definitive off-road vehicle. £10000-£12000

After the production of the 2-litre saloon ended in 1958, AC responded to customer demand and encouragement from racing driver and Swiss AC importer Hubert Patthey by developing a new model under the guidance of Chief Engineer Alan Turner. This led to the creation of the Greyhound, a brand new 4seat GT Coupé. The first production model was unveiled at the London Motor Show in October 1959, featuring an extended version of the Aceca’s steel ladder frame chassis, and clothed in an attractive alloy body, reminiscent of Aston Martin’s recently introduced DB4. The Greyhound offered a stylish interior with leather seating, full carpeting, ample instrumentation, and generous headroom for all occupants. With fully independent front and rear suspension on coil springs, rack and pinion steering, and front disc brakes, the Greyhound was a well-engineered, lightweight, beautifully designed GT car in the best AC tradition.

Purists favoured the Bristol engines for their smoothness, balance, and ideal match for the Greyhound’s GT aspirations, especially when paired with a four-speed manual gearbox and optional overdrive. Production of the Greyhound continued until 1963, when the success of the Cobra took precedence, resulting in only 83 Greyhounds being produced at the Thames Ditton works.

According to a letter dated 1978 from AC Cars Ltd., chassis BEF 2516, the 16th complete car chassis, left the factory on 5th January 1961, originally finished in Princess Blue with Red leather trim, and sold to a Mr. B.Naylor of Dronfield in Yorkshire. The second owner was racer and engineer Mr. Ken Rudd, who through his business Ruddpseed was integral to the success of AC Cars, latterly becoming a legendary post-sale tuner of Austin Healeys, Volvos and Alfa Romeos, also undertaking RHD conversions of Ford Mustangs.

By the 1970s, and in new hands, the Greyhound was a regular on the concours circuit, winning various competitions across England from 1973 to 1981. In the extensive history file we find a large amount of receipts for various mechanical works completed, dating back to the 1970s, with a number of bills from the early 2000s.

Notably the Greyhound benefited from an engine, carburettor and axle rebuild in 2007-8, in addition to numerous other works. Within the last 2,000 miles (in 2016) the AC was serviced by respected specialist Spencer Lane Jones, with new engine and differential oil, setting of valve clearances, new spark plugs, overhauling of the braking, setting up of the carburettors, flushing of the cooling system, and fitting of a new rear screen, supported by an invoice for £2704.55. In current ownership the Greyhound has been fitted with a replacement clutch and stainless steel exhaust system.

1959 Jaguar Mark IX Saloon

The new Jaguar executive offering of 1948 was the Mark V, an elegant machine with a new chassis, independent double wishbone front suspension, a setup Jaguar would use for many successive cars. In 1951, the Mark VII replaced the Mark V, becoming the first saloon powered by the race-proven DOHC inline-6 XK engine (the omission of a ‘Mark VI’ model was to avoid confusion with the contemporary Bentley Mark VI). Improvements were made over the years to the styling and technical layout, culminating in the Mark IX of 1959. The new model was the final evolution, featuring a 220bhp, 3.8-litre version of the XK engine and four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes (a Jaguar first). Well-appointed, elegant, with a powerful engine and strong brakes, the Mark IX was respected and popular among dignitaries and driving enthusiasts alike.

This beautiful Mark IX was originally distributed

by Attwoods Garage of Stafford, the first owner being E.Nicklin & Son Ltd of Willenhall. In 1962,

ownership passed to Mr. Kenneth Mills, who used the motor car sparingly, which was later dry-stored for some years at 34,000 miles. In 1998, Mr. Terence Spinks of Walsall rescued the Mark IX from the garage, where it had been well preserved, carried out a brake overhaul, fitted new batteries, and then sold the motor car in 2003 at just under 36,000 miles to Sir Anthony Jolliffe, former Mayor of London. We understand that the Jaguar’s coachwork was refinished in that ownership, other work including a conversion to unleaded fuel, which totalled some £20,000. A mahogany replica of the motor car was also commissioned by Sir Anthony, which still remains with the Jaguar today.

The door cappings and dashboard are in lovely condition, the rear picnic tables operate nicely, the upholstery appears to be original, as does the boot lining.

Ownership changed in 2006 and then again in 2009, with very few miles covered in the intervening years. We understand that electronic ignition was installed in the latter ownership. In 2020, the high pressure power steering hose was replaced, and both an electric cooling fan and new wing mirrors were fitted, new 12 volt batteries were installed in 2021. The current mileage of 42,460 is thought to be accurate. Our

1973 Daimler XJ6 4.2 Sovereign

Introduced in 1968 as Jaguar sought to consolidate its contemporary saloon portfolio, from 1970, the XJ became the marque’s flagship four-door car and the earliest version of the saloon, later known as the Series I, would be the final Big Cat design overseen by company founder, Sir William Lyons. The Daimler Sovereign derivative was introduced a year later as a replacement for the Sovereign 420.

Externally virtually identical to its Jaguar sibling, apart from a fluted radiator grille and Daimler badging, the new Sovereign was initially offered with the choice of a 2.8 or 4.2-litre version of the ubiquitous XK engine. The output of the latter was 245bhp at 5,500rpm, sufficient to waft the luxurious new Saloon to 60mph in a very creditable 8.8 seconds and on to a top speed of around 125mph. The monocoque body featured

fully independent suspension, while braking was by power discs all-round and steering by an Adwest power-assisted rack and pinion system.

The XJ line received a facelift in Autumn 1973 for the 1974 model year, thereafter known as the Series II; retrospectively the earlier cars were referred to as the Series I.

Now a rare variant, this short wheel base Daimler Sovereign was first registered to London in May 1973. The Dark Blue paintwork presents well, the trim is excellent, and the tan leather interior has been retrimmed. We understand the Daimler drives well, with good oil pressure, an even engine temperature, smooth suspension. The Daimler has in the past benefited from a reconditioned steering rack, new track rod ends, new rear wheel bearings and localised repairs to the front and rear near side inner wings (at around 71,000 miles). The Daimler was last serviced in June 2024 at 75,500 miles, with only

1921 Sunbeam 24hp Four-Seat Tourer

Founded by John Marston, a God-fearing Victorian industrialist who foresaw the growth in demand for private transport, Sunbeam was first associated with beautifully made, though expensive, bicycles. Although comparative latecomers to motor car manufacture, the Wolverhampton-based Sunbeam factory quickly established a fine reputation alongside Lanchester, Wolseley, Austin and Daimler at the heart of the expanding Midlands motor industry.

The company’s first conventional car was largely conceived by T C Pullinger, who persuaded Marston to purchase a complete chassis from the French Berliet concern. Exhibited at the Crystal Palace in November 1902, it was marketed as the Sunbeam 10/12, but it was not

until 1907, two years after the Sunbeam Motor Car Company had been formed, that the firm produced its first all-British model, the 16/20.

The arrival from Hillman in 1909 of influential designer Louis Coatalen and the pursuit of an effective competitions program enabled the marque to establish a formidable reputation prior to WWI, its superbly made products enjoying a reputation rivalling that of the best from Alvis and Bentley thereafter.

Coatalen’s Sunbeams won countless races at Brooklands and set a number of speed records prior to WWI, and after The Great War the firm continued to be active in motor sport at the highest level, supplying racing cars to Henry Segrave. An ex-Royal Flying Corps pilot, Segrave made history in 1923 when he won the French Grand Prix at the wheel of a Sunbeam, thus becoming the first British driver to win a Grand Prix driving a British car. Segrave’s car was powered by a new state-of-the art, twinoverhead camshaft, 3.0-liter racing engine designed by Vincent Bertarione, who had been recruited by Coatalen from FIAT.

In the current, knowledgeable enthusiast ownership for twenty one years, this striking 1921 Four Seat 24hp Sunbeam of 4.5 litres is presented in genuinely good, well maintained condition. We understand that in its early history, the Sunbeam was converted into an ambulance from its original tourer form. When rescued by Rex Neate in 1969 the Sunbeam was restored fully back to its former glory, with the back half reinstated by Wilkinsons of Derby. The car’s file shows ownership history from the 1960s, at

which time the car arrived in the West Country from Middlesbrough.

Our vendor describes the Sunbeam as remaining in good order, with solid floor and frame, and very good chassis and underside. The burgundy and black paintwork is presentable, with odd marks commensurate with age; the brightwork does have some wear and slight pitting. A luggage rack is fitted, and the original rear Auster screen is in place (the canvas here could be improved).

46 | NICK WELLS @ DORE & REES

The smart red leather upholstery has been renewed fairly recently and remains in lovely condition, as do the carpets which are also replacements. New door handles have been fitted. All instrumentation is correct and in working order. The fawn canvas hood is a replacement and has a small area or wear but we understand it to be usable. The Sunbeam sits on beaded edge tyres with very good tread.

The vendor informs us that an engine restoration and overhaul was carried out in 2004, with new pistons, rings and gudgeon rings (the engine had been previously restored in the 1970s by Mike Collis). We understand that the magneto was also rebuilt and the Autovac and ignition refurbished. The gearbox was completely rebuilt

in 2020 with new gears, shafts and bearings.

Brake linings have been renewed and the voltmeter has been repaired. The cooling, braking and steering systems are all described as being good, as are the electrics, in fact the mechanicals in general have no known faults.

The vendor tells us that the Sunbeam is reliable and has been driven to Southern France, Brooklands and more locally in Dorset without issues.

Offered complete with sundry documentation and V5C registration document, this stylish and well sorted vintage automobile is ready to hit the road once more. £28000-£33000

1923 Sunbeam 24/60 All-Weather Tourer

Drawing on Sunbeam’s considerable Grand Prix racing experience, which stretched back to 1914, the 24/60 production model featured a robust overhead-valve six-cylinder engine fed by a dual throat Claudel carburetor that tested in excess of 60HP. The chassis specification included a four-speed in-unit gearbox, torque tube back axle, semi-elliptic front suspension and rear suspension brakes on the transmission and rear axle. Enough power to propel formal coachwork and exciting performance when fitted with lightweight bodies.

This extremely elegant 24/60 All-Weather Tourer has formed part of a private collection in recent years. In the handsome colour combination of deep burgundy with black wings, the Sunbeam has clearly been cherished and comes with history extraordinarily dating back to the 1920s.

A small number of 24/60s are in existence, but this is thought to be the only All-Weather Tourer with its folding hood and wind-up windows. The motor car benefits from a full ownership history; from new to 1938 it belonged to a Mr Montieth of Edinburgh and then formed part of a private museum display until the early Seventies.

Overall, the condition of the bodywork is described as very good, with an equally good floor, chassis and body frame etc. The paintwork remains in excellent order and the brightwork is good although the hub caps could be re-plated.

The leather upholstery is believed to be original, showing the patina of age; the rubber floor covering to the front and the red carpet to the rear are both replacements and very good. The leather door trims remain good and benefit from useful interior pockets to the rear, both sides.

The dashboard and door cappings are original.

As the 3-Litre gained popularity, coachbuilders Freestone and Webb came onto the scene.

Established in 1923 as a specialist coachbuilder in Willesden, North London, the two specialists clothed a number of Bentleys, later after Bentley went into receivership to start building on Rolls chassis.

This 3-Litre Bentley’s provenance is as distinguished as the vehicle itself. Chassis #537 was delivered new to Mr. David Yule in 1924, a gentleman racer with deep familial ties to Scotland and India. Yule’s life journey took him from his early years in Germany, an internment

during World War I, to then become a scion of the Yules of Scotland and India, and later to have business interests in the jute, finance, shipping and petroleum industries. Yule gained prominence in post-war Dublin’s motor racing scene in his Morris Special and Austin Ulster racers.

According to enthusiast Eddie Bourke, writing in 2016, “..(chassis) 537 had a 2 seater and dickey type wide body originally painted yellow and there was a small oil painting of it.” In the early 1950s, after decades of Yule’s ownership, many of which the car in Dublin garage, ownership

After a period of neglect, restoration commenced in the 1990s, stalling due to the sad passing of Skelton, then recommencing via another family member in around 2004. In 2006 #537 was sent to respected specialist Charles Palmer of Classic Restorations (Scotland), being mated to a period-correct Freestone and Webb Tourer body (sourced from Strasbourg and believed to be from chassis #DN1734), and to be comprehensively restored over a number of years. Completed by 2014, the restored car was shown at that year’s NEC Classic Car Show.

from sensible modern enhancements such as twin electric fans, an alternator conversion, and discreet flashing indicators. The open Freestone and Webb tourer body is well proportioned and elegant, whilst the mechanical restoration and modern upgrades add much useability.

2003 Bentley Arnage T

At the time the world’s fastest saloon, the Bentley Arnage Series Two of 2002 gained a stiffened bodyshell, revised suspension, new electronics and a thoroughly reworked version of the Crewe concern’s indomitable 6.75-litre OHV V8. Force-fed by twin Garratt T3 turbochargers (in place of the previous single T4), the engine also boasted an improved cylinder head gasket design and Bosch Motronic management system. Developing some 450bhp and 875Nm when fitted to the sportiest ‘T’ model, it was allied to four-speed automatic transmission and reputedly enabled the luxury express to sprint from 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and onto 170mph (making it the fastest fourdoor saloon in the world at the time). The Series Two cars further benefited from more comfortable seats and remained an object lesson in luxury. Only built from 2002 to 2009, just 817 Arnage Ts were built in right-hand drive form.

Nicely presented in Beluga Black with matching diamond-quilted leather upholstery, this 2003 Arnage T is further specified with silver ‘WingedB’ motifs, dark wood veneers and engine-turned aluminium inserts to the dashboard and door cappings. The Arnage shows now 96,000 miles

1991 Aston-Martin Virage Saloon

When William Towns’ aggressively beautiful V8s reached the end of their long run, Aston took an altogether different aesthetic direction once again. Out went any kind of homage to steroidal pony cars, in came a more modern sculpted look underpinned by de Dion tube rear suspension and a double wishbone unit at the front. Still a fabulously indulgent hand-built car, the Virage managed to retain its gentleman’s club ambience in the face of cost-cutting measures from new owners Ford: measures that included raiding the Ford, GM, Jaguar, Volkswagen and Audi parts bins for all sorts of lights, mirrors, switches and other components.

Suitably reworked by Callaway Engineering of Connecticut, USA (using ‘four-valve’ cylinder heads, hydraulic tappets and Weber electronic fuel injection), its 5340cc ‘quad-cam’ V8 engine not only satisfied forthcoming emissions legislation but also developed some 330bhp and 350lbft of torque. In automatic guise, the Virage could reach 60 mph in about 6.5 seconds. A hand-built, luxury four-seater GT in the best traditions of the Newport Pagnell concern, the Virage carried an initial price tag of £135,000.

Reassuringly exclusive, just 420 are thought to have been made between 1989 and 1994.

Finished in Buckinghamshire Green with a Parchment leather interior, this early Virage was first registered in January 1991. The accompanying service book shows a total of nine service stamps up to 35,602 miles in 2017.

There are rare cars, and then there are cars that exist in a category of their own - bespoke creations, shaped by history, vision, and the hands of master craftsmen. The Aston Martin Bertone Jet 2+2 is one such machine. A singular commission, a concept that became a production reality, and the final creation from one of the world’s most celebrated design houses, Bertone.

Conceived as a tribute to Aston Martin’s centenary and the rich 60-year partnership between Aston Martin and Bertone, the Jet 2+2 reimagines the Rapide as an elegant shooting brake, a grand tourer with both performance and practicality. But beyond its design brilliance, this

Weir - the first person to circumnavigate the world in a classic Aston Martin DB2/4 commissioned Bertone to create a unique car.

Inspired by the Jet 2 concept, which had been built for Lilli Bertone but was not for sale, Weir envisioned a bespoke shooting brake, blending Aston Martin’s unmistakable design language with enhanced versatility. The result was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, where it captivated enthusiasts and industry leaders alike, including Aston Martin chief designer Marek Reichman, and CEO Ulrich Bez. A few months later, Jet 2+2 joined the original 1961 Bertone Jet and the 2004 Jet 2 as a star exhibit at Aston Martin’s Centenary Celebrations at Kensington Palace, standing alongside some of the marque’s most revered creations.

So impressed were Aston’s executives that the project was approved for a limited run of ten cars, with discussions underway to put the Jet 2+2 into production. However, Bertone’s closure the following year dashed the plans, ensuring that this remains the only example in existence.

Beyond its historical significance, the Jet 2+2 is a beautifully executed vision of how a Rapide Shooting Brake could be expressed. The transformation is more than aesthetic; its extended roofline and reworked proportions bring an increased sense of space, while a full-

The rear seats fold flat electronically, a first for Aston Martin, extending the load space seamlessly for added practicality. The interior is finished in a bespoke two-tone combination of Cream Truffle and Obsidian Black leather, softer than that used in the standard Rapide, complemented by custom wood and chrome finishes. To further enhance passenger comfort, the front seats were redesigned to be slimmer, allowing for increased legroom in the rear.

Mechanically, the Jet 2+2 retains the Rapide’s formidable 6.0-litre V12, with 476bhp, 443 lb-ft of torque and a 0-62mph time of 5.3 seconds.

1973 Aston Martin V8 Series II

“Anyone wondering why Aston Martin bother to make their own Vee-8 when so many big American ones are so cheaply available need take only one look at the performance data... for the best explanation in the world. Whatever the undisclosed output of the Aston V8, it is enough to rocket this heavy car to 60mph from rest in exactly six seconds and to 100mph in only 14.7 seconds. Much more than this, we were able to reach 138 mph from rest in a mile and on the Continent record a mean maximum speed of 161.5 mph.” - Autocar, 8 July 1971.

The Aston Martin V8 represents the pinnacle of British motoring in the early 1970s, blending timeless performance, luxury, and exclusivity in an unmistakably elegant package.

2004 Aston-Martin DB9 Coupe

● Genuine low mileage example with full service history ● In current ownership since 2008 ● Recent investment of c.£12,000

The DB9 was the star of the 2003 Frankfurt Motor show, where it was unveiled to the public for the very first time. The DB9 was powered by a third generation version of the now familiar 6.0 litre V12, with a top speed of 186mph. It was the first of what was to become a long line of production Aston Martins to use VH architecture; Superformed parts were applied in the chassis and footwell as well as the body panels. The individual die-cast, extruded or stamped aluminium elements of the VH platform are bonded with strong adhesives and selfpiercing rivets to make a lightweight but stiff backbone. Aston Martins have always made the interior of their cars to be very special places.

Beautifully tailored with the finest of materials, the DB9 uses Bridge of Weir leather, aluminium and wood. A design now 20 years in production, the DB9 is very much a modern classic and one which shaped the direction of Aston-Martin for many years to come.

This wonderful low mileage example was supplied to its first owner in late 2004, specified in Oyster Silver with an Iron Ore red leather interior. In 2008 the DB9 was acquired by an Aston-Martin Senior Performance Driver, incidentally the driver coach to the two most recent James Bond actors Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.

1988 Ferrari Testarossa

● Swiss delivered example ● From a UK-based private collection

Ferrari’s flagship model of the 1980s, the Testarossa, revived a famous name from the Italian manufacturer’s past when it arrived in 1984. A car of abnormal design and performance, the new Testarossa was born to stupefy, as was clear from the day of its unveiling: instead of one of the traditional motor shows, Ferrari chose the stage of the famous Paris Lido nightclub for the new model’s launch.

A ‘next generation’ Berlinetta Boxer, the Testarossa retained its predecessor’s amidships-mounted, 5.0-liter, flat-12 cylinder engine, which now boasted a maximum power output raised to 390bhp at 6,300rpm, courtesy of four-valve cylinder heads. Despite the power increase, smoothness and drivability were enhanced, the car possessing excellent top gear flexibility allowing for a maximum speed in excess of 180mph.

Rivaling Lamborghini’s Countach for presence, the Pininfarina-designed Testarossa succeeded brilliantly. Its side gill slats, which fed air to its side-mounted radiators, instantly became one of the modern era’s most recognizable styling devices. A larger car than the 512BB – the increase in width being necessary to accommodate wider tires – the Testarossa managed the trick of combining high downforce with a low co-efficient of drag, its body design being notable for the absence of extraneous spoilers and other devices. Luxury touches in the well-equipped cabin included air conditioning, electrically adjustable seats, tilting

steering wheel and plentiful leather. Detail improvements were made regularly throughout the Testarossa’s seven-year production run, one of the first being the adoption of dual door mirrors. One of the most recognizable and iconic models from the Italian company, the Testarossa would grace many young car enthusiasts’ bedroom walls in poster form during the late 1980s.

This beautiful Swiss-delivered example was first registered in June 1988, we understand joining a private collection for many years. Arriving in the UK in the 2000s, the Ferrari has been part of a private collection since 2015, having been purchased from specialist dealer Amari. The last

The Testarossa is accompanied by its original leather wallet with stamped service book, current V5C document, older MoT certificates and receipts for previous maintenance. Also included in the history file is a photographic record of previous mechanical refurbishment works.

Finished in Rosso Corsa with an interesting twotone cream and red leather interior, in our opinion this supercar icon of the 1980s really does merit closer inspection. £90000-£110000

1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello

● UK delivered, 7,314 miles from new with full Ferrari/specialist history ● Recently thorough recommissioning in the last 120 miles ● Specified from new with the Fiorano handling pack

Firmly placed in Ferrari’s history as one of their finest big GTs, the 550 Maranello’s combination of its elegant Pininfarina lines and legendary front mounted 12-cylinder engine, meant that these cars had the potential to become instant classics, following in the footsteps and sharing the DNA of its forebear, the 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’. With modern styling cues, a 5.5-litre V12 engine producing around 485bhp and a reported top speed of 199mph, the 550 Maranello was a seriously quick motor car, The six-speed gearbox combined with a slightly more even torque curve meant that power delivery was a little less frenetic, and excellent weight distribution combined with the 550’s delightful road manners were all factors in the car becoming the perfect ‘European Grand Tourer’. The Ferrari 550 Maranello was the return of the front engined Ferraris and this 23 years after the 365 GTB/4 Daytona.

2009 Nissan GT-R

● Recent full service by specialist Lichfield

“Japan’s mightiest ever supercar”, Autocar magazine. Announced at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, the new GT-R came equipped with a 3.8litre twin-turbocharged, 473bhp V6, a 6-speed BorgWarner dual-clutch transmission and allwheel drive. The rigid carbon/alloy construction combined with an astonishing level of driver adjustability in terms of dampers, gearshift and traction control, produced an exhilarating and hugely capable high-performance sports car.

The GT-R hits 0-62mph in a whisker over 3 seconds, and tops out at not far short of 200 mph. “Godzilla” as it was christened, remains in production some 16 years later, with of course

A true modern classic, the Subaru Impreza P1 stands as one of the most revered performance cars of its era. Developed in collaboration with Prodrive, the legendary motorsport outfit behind Subaru’s World Rally Championship dominance, the P1 (Prodrive One) was engineered specifically for the UK market as a road-going embodiment of Subaru’s rally heritage. Limited to just 1,000 units, the P1 was the definitive Impreza coupe, blending lightweight agility, turbocharged performance, and rally-bred handling.

Subaru’s WRC-winning Impreza, driven to victory by legends such as Colin McRae and Richard Burns.

This particular example, number 1021, holds unique significance. The numbering system of the limited edition cars was carefully considered

by Subaru, as in Japanese culture, certain numbers are regarded as unlucky. Specifically, the number 4 sounds like “shi,” meaning death, and 9 sounds like “ku,” meaning suffering. To avoid any negative connotations, Subaru deliberately chose not to assign edition numbers ending in these digits. As a result, the number 1021 was selected, ensuring the vehicle would carry no unfortunate associations, and signifies it is one of the latter of the edition of 1000.

This example has been comprehensively restored to a remarkably high standard. The suspension has been fully overhauled, with all components removed and powder-coated, ensuring both longevity and performance. The braking system has been meticulously refurbished, including fully reconditioned calipers at a cost of over £1,000, along with new discs and wheel bearings. A complete engine service has been carried out, with a new water pump, cam belt, rollers, gaskets, and clutch, ensuring mechanical integrity.

The cooling system has also been refreshed, including a new coolant radiator, hoses, and airconditioning radiator, brand-new Toyos at each corner give exceptional road-holding. The original wheels have been fully reconditioned and refinished in their correct factory colour, complementing the car’s signature Sonic Blue paintwork. Additionally, various trim elements, including lights, have been replaced to bring the car back to its factory-correct specification.

With its legendary status, meticulous restoration, and undeniable motorsport pedigree, this Impreza P1 remains one of the most soughtafter Subarus ever produced. A true homologation special, built to channel the spirit of Subaru’s World Rally Championship success. £38000-£42000

1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000QV by Mirage ● Early build to Koenig Turbo Countach look

Few would deny that Lamborghini’s Countach is the quintessential supercar of its era. It was built by a talented and passionate team of designers and engineers with the purpose of being the most extrovert and outrageous of cars available for the street. As a replacement for the fabulous Miura this was a tall order, but there can be no doubt that it succeeded and even today, though there are more modern cars and faster cars, the Countach which will draw people’s attention like nothing else. The stunning styling was by Bertone’s Marcello Gandini and when the first prototype was revealed as project 112, one of the factory workers exclaimed Countach, a local Piemontese expletive, politely translated as Wow! The name stuck.

The chassis, a re-creation of the original Countach item, was reputedly designed by Lee Noble on a a full tubular steel space frame, with authentic double wishbone front and rear suspension, twin rear trailing arms, rose joints throughout, and Spax adjustable coil-over dampers all round (with twin dampers to the rear). The hubs, handbrake mechanisms, vented brake discs and Brembo four-pot calipers are all early Porsche 911 items, clearly a well thought out build. The underneath of the car is fully flat floored to the underside for improved aerodynamics. The Countach sits on 15 inch, 3 piece alloy split rim items by Image Wheels (England), with highly polished rims. The interior has recently been retrimmed in white with contrasting navy blue trim, designed for a finish as close as possible to the original car. The dials are correct Lamborghini items.

The Countach is powered by a 5.8 litre Chevrolet small block V8, rebuilt in 2010 with receipts for a crank regrind, overbore and larger pistons, and with a nominal c.2,000 miles since completion.

1972 Porsche 914-4 2.0

● Over £15,000 in recent restoration work

Introduced in 1970, the Porsche 914 was Porsche’s answer to the demand for a compact, affordable sports car that still embodied the brand’s signature engineering and performance.

A collaboration between Porsche and Volkswagen, the 914 quickly earned a reputation for its mid-engine layout, agility, and exceptional driving dynamics. By 1972, the 914-4 2.0 had become the most desirable variant in the lineup, offering a more powerful 2.0-litre engine that elevated its performance credentials.

Powered by a 2.0-litre flat-four engine producing 110bhp, the 914-4 2.0 delivers impressive performance for its size and weight.

Acceleration from 0-60mph is achieved in approximately 8.0 seconds, with a top speed of around 120mph. The mid-engine layout ensures lively, balanced and highly engaging handling.

This particular example was imported from Beverly Hills, USA in 2023, before undergoing an extensive 17-month restoration to a remarkable standard. The process began with a complete bare metal repaint, ensuring a flawless finish in classic Porsche Guards Red.

Mechanically, no detail was overlooked. The 2.0litre engine was fully rebuilt, with new carburettors, a starter motor, ignition switch and barrel, distributor, alternator, plugs, and a complete set of gaskets and seals. The timing belts, pulleys, and camshaft bearings were all replaced, while the gearbox was carefully serviced for smooth operation. Additional work included valve adjustment, the installation of pressure relief valves, and a new crankshaft pulley. A full electrical rewire was also carried out, ensuring flawless functionality throughout. It has covered less than 100 miles since restoration.

Inside, the cabin has been fully restored to its period-correct specification, featuring new

Every major country has its own state car: the United States with Lincoln or Cadillac; the British with Bentley and Rolls-Royce; the former Soviet Union and Russia the ZiS/ZiL and Aurus Senat; and Germany with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

And in this respect, Japan also has a very special representative vehicle, the Toyota Century.

Introduced in 1967, the Century (named in honour of the 100th birthday of Toyota’s founder Sakichi Toyoda) was the flagship model for Toyota, reserved for the royal family, high level dignitaries and top ranking government officials. The design is conservative, sober, luxurious yet functional. The first model ran largely unchanged until 1997.

Quite possibly the only 1984 example registered to the UK, this very original right-hand drive 1984 Toyota Century was imported from the Middle East some years ago and has been dry stored in recent times. The Century is fitted with Toyota’s 4.0-litre, VG40 engine, which is 40bhp more powerful than earlier cars, mated to an automatic gearbox. A solid, running and driving example, the Century will now benefit further recommissioning before being used on the road.

1990 BMW E30 320iSE

● Three owners from new ● Comprehensive service history

The BMW E30, introduced in 1982 as the second generation of the 3-Series, built upon the success of its predecessor, refining the formula that would go on to define BMW’s approach to performance saloons and coupes for decades to come. Spanning a production run of 12 years, with over 2.4 million units produced, the E30 remains one of the most respected and enduring models in BMW’s history.

Key among the advancements over the previous E21 model was a more sophisticated suspension setup, designed to mitigate the pronounced oversteer that characterized its predecessor.

The E30 also marked a significant expansion of the 3-Series range, introducing a four-door saloon, convertible, touring and a broad selection of engines—including the rangetopping six-cylinders. The platform was known for its near-perfect weight distribution, frontengine, rear-wheel-drive layout, well-balanced chassis, with peerless build quality and durability.

Attributes that continue to make it an ever popular choice among enthusiasts.

For many, the E30 is the quintessential 1980s performance saloon - immediately recognisable in profile, effortlessly usable as a daily driver even today, yet equally rewarding when pushed on the open road. Its charm lies in its duality: a comfortable and refined everyday driver, yet with brilliant dynamics and engagement when the road allows.

This 1990 320iSE retains that spirit. Featuring BMW’s smooth 2.0-litre M20 straight-six engine, it delivers smooth, linear power delivery with a distinctive character. Being an ‘SE’ it is specified with comforts such as electric sunroof, headlamp wash/wipe, pop-out rear windows, rear headrests and revised front, rear and side

skirts. Offered from only its third owner, and complete with a comprehensive service history, including recent invoices for a new clutch and wheel bearings. The car is in original form apart from a tastefully upgraded stainless Scorpion exhaust system.

1969 Ford Cortina Mk II Lotus Evocation

Officially named the Ford Lotus Cortina Twin Cam, in order to improve build quality Ford decided the Lotus Cortina Mark II would be built in-house, and would be fitted with a more powerful version (109bhp) of the 1558cc Lotus ‘Twin-Cam’ engine, a revised 3.77:1 final drive ratio and new remote-control gear change.

Unlike the Mark I, the new model was available in a range of colours, and featured a distinctive black front grille, 5.5J x 13 wheels and Lotus badging to each rear wing. The two-door sports saloon boasted a wider track, larger fuel tank, stiffened suspension and disc / drum brakes.

The new model provided Ford with a decent competition platform until the arrival of the ‘Twin-Cam’ Escorts in ‘68. Better built and less temperamental than its forebear, the Ford Cortina Lotus Mark II remained in production until 1970, by which time over 4,032 are thought to have left the Dagenham gates.

With history dating back to 1974, this Mark II Cortina two door has benefited from consistent maintenance and care throughout its life, as evidenced by the many invoices supplied. It has been in the current ownership since 2018, when the vendor purchased the motor car as an already upgraded Lotus Cortina Evocation.

We understand that the sporting Cortina was based on an almost perfect 1969 Cortina Mk II and a full restoration was carried out with upgrades including a 1600 engine (with a recently reconditioned bottom end), married to a 2000E gearbox, modified Spax suspension (lowered as per Lotus), two inch competition exhaust system, an overhauled braking system fitted with a servo, retrimmed interior with new carpets and a six dial dashboard. The Cortina has a wood rimmed steering wheel, a wooden gear knob and Cibie Super Oscar lamps.

More recently, in 2018 the big end and main bearings were replaced, as were the con rod

bolts and cylinder head bolts. A new oil pump and filters were also fitted. A new radiator and hoses were installed in 2019. The Cortina was fitted with new tyres in 2020, also attention to the suspension and to the brakes, including a new servo and four new shoes. A new clutch assembly was also fitted that year. The screen rubbers were renewed last year and the carburettor was rebuilt. Alloy road wheels are fitted but genuine refurbished Lotus steel wheels are supplied.

The Mk II Cortina remains in lovely condition, with no known mechanical faults, the car has been enjoyed carefully on club runs and at shows without issue. The history file contains laminated images of the car, a number of original Ford advertisements, numerous invoices, newspaper cuttings featuring the car, a handwritten log of maintenance from 1974 to 2007 plus other handwritten maintenance notes, MOT test certificates, the original Ford Cortina handbook and wallet, tax discs, numerous Cortina Mk II club newsletters, a V5 document, a photocopy previous V5C, and the current V5C registration certificate. £9000-£12000

1969 Volkswagen Beetle 1300 De Luxe

● In current ownership for 30 years ● Complete with original bill of sale, service and instruction books

With over 21 million manufactured in an aircooled, rear-engined, rear-wheel drive configuration, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single design platform anywhere in the world. During the 1950s, the car was modified progressively; the obvious visual changes mostly concerned the rear windows. Towards the end of 1964, the height of the side windows and windscreen grew slightly, giving the cabin a less pinched look; this coincided with the introduction of a very slightly curved ‘panoramic’ windscreen. The same body appeared throughout 1966, with a 1300cc engine in place of the 1200cc engine; it was only in the 1973 model Super Beetle that it displayed an obviously curved windscreen. Regarded as something of a ‘cult’ car, the history of the Beetle is inextricably intertwined with the hippie movement and surf culture from the 1960s to the present day.

This smart 1969 delivered example, finished in Royal/Kings Red with a black leatherette interior, was sold via Renwicks Motor Group of Salisbury to its first owner in April 1969 for the princely sum of £829 9s 6d, fitted with optional wheel trims, stone guards and parcel shelf.

A locally owned car, our vendor spotted the Beetle parked on a driveway in 1995, a deal was agreed and he has owned the car ever since.

Upon purchase new wings were fitted, the paintwork refinished, new seat covers installed, as were rubber seals, mirrors, a heated rear window and reversing light.

Always professionally maintained, the Beetle has been garaged when not in use over the last 30 years. Never completely restored, the VW has been instead maintained and kept roadworthy.

Our vendor advises that there are a few minor blemishes to the paintwork, the seat folding mechanisms will need attention, some mirror seals may need replacing, the driver’s door lock would benefit from being renewed, and the fuel gauge reading can be erratic.

Supplied with its original bill of sale, VW Instruction Book, VW Service Record, a number of older MoT certificates and receipts, and original vintage Blaupunkt radio, all in all this is a very genuine example of a perennial favourite in the classic car world. £5000-£7000

1992 Ford Fiesta XR2i 16v

● One lady owner from new ● Desirable 16v version, with low mileage

When Ford launched the Mark 3 Fiesta in 1989, they found themselves with a quantity of 1600 CVH XR2 engines which would otherwise be obsolete, and so the new 1.6s model featured a rear spoiler, spotlamps, and the options of electric windows, remote tailgate release and central locking. After producing a number of these to use up the last of the older XR2 engines, Ford launched the XR2i.

The new XR2i produced 110bhp, 20bhp more than the XR2 and 1.6s, and featured a full bodykit, blue stripe around the car, and 13” alloys. Also present was the same tailgate spoiler as the 1.6s, velour “Zolda” trim and electrical options as standard. Blue plastic “XR2i” trims adorned the carpet by the sills. The XR2i was available in Black, Radiant Red, Diamond White or Mercury Grey, lasting until 1992 when the new Zetec-engined XR2i 16v was launched.

The new XR2i 16v arrived in May 1992 with the 1800cc 16 valve 105ps (104bhp) Zetec engine from the MK5 Escort XR3i, and the same EEC-IV management as the Fiesta RST. Visually, the 16v was more up to date, with body coloured wing mirrors and larger 14” alloy wheels. Alongside other trim enhancements, the 16v also had the same “winged” seats from the XR3i, with supportive side and shoulder bolsters, and net pockets on the backrests. Production ran to 1993.

You will pay the Hammer Price, with Buyer’s Premium at 25% together with VAT at the prevailing rate and any applicable charges within 5 working days following the Auction in which the Lots are purchased by you. Buyer’s Premium at 10% together with VAT at the prevailing rate and any applicable charges applies to Lots sold in auctions of Vehicles, Classic Cars, Motorbikes. c. We will always treat your data with care, personal details are held securely and will not be sold. Our Privacy statement is available at www.doreandrees.com

Estimates can change, they are not definitive and should not be thought of as the sale price. c. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT at the prevailing rate and any applicable charges. d. Estimates may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the auctioneer before the Lot is offered.

13. Buyer’s obligations and undertakings a. You warrant to us and to the Seller that: i. you will not bid on a Lot you do not intend to pay for ii. you have the funds to complete the purchase at the total value of Hammer Price, Buyer’s Premium together with VAT at the prevailing rate and any applicable charges; iii. the funds are not connected with any criminal activity including tax evasion, and that you are neither under investigation nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities or other crimes iv. if the Lot you purchased is to be removed to a country outside the UK, all duties, taxes and licences on the export of the Lot are your responsibility. b. If you, the Buyer, decide to exercise your right to cancel, we are entitled to account directly to the Seller for any applicable refund and we shall retain on account amounts to compensate the Seller should the Lot be damaged or tampered with by you. c. You will indemnify us and the Seller in full on demand against all claims, costs or expenses incurred by us or the Seller as a result of any breach by you of any of the obligations in this clause.

14. Inspection of Lots a. As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their Lots. We may inspect Lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of Lots to check their condition in the way a Buyer would do.

b. We strongly recommend that you attend the auction viewing in person if possible. You are responsible for your decision to bid for particular Lot. If you bid on a Lot, including by telephone, absentee bid or online bidding, we will assume that you have carefully inspected the Lot and satisfied yourself regarding it’s condition. c. Please note that the Lots (in particular second hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition.

Lots are sold ‘as is’ (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of secondhand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed.

15. Descriptions and condition a. Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on i i. Information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and i ii. Our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot). b. We will give you a number opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot. c. Representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.

16. Registration, Bidding and the Buyer a. You are required to register to bid by 5pm on the day before the auction. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a absentee bid. b. If you wish to bid on high value Lots, the registration deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. c. We reserve the right to require deposits at the point of Registration on high value Lots.

Deposits are refundable after the auction if you are not a successful Bidder. d. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the Registration Form. e. Absentee bids may be left with us in writing indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a Lot (excluding Buyer’s Premium and/or VAT and any applicable charges). We will execute absentee bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the Reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two Bidders submit identical absentee bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can reasonably be ascertained). Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your absentee bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable. f. Telephone bidding is offered on a first come first serve basis on high value lots. Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for
