The Vehicles Not starting before 1 pm 100 A 1922 Matchless Model J motorcycle and sidecar combination (frame only), registration number XL 2807, green. This JAP 1000cc Vtwin engined Matchless is a true barn find, having been in store for over fifty years. Ripe for restoration, the majority of the major components are present, which should aid the project for the next owner. RF60, no current MOT or tax See illustration £1400 - 1800

Lot 100 101 A 1920s BSA B250 round tank motorcycle, registration number PR 5910, black. BSA’s 250cc side valve proved very popular with tradesmen and learners alike during the 1920s. Initially available with only a two speed gearbox, it would gain a three speed version in 1926, which enabled it to achieve a top speed of 45 mph. Presented in wonderfully original barn find condition, this model B has been in the same family ownership for many decades. Requiring full restoration, the motorcycle would appear to have all its major components present, to aid its restoration. Unfortunately there is not any paperwork accompanying the motorcycle but with the aid of the BSA Owners’ Club, the current registration (PR 5910) may be able to be retained See illustration £1200 - 1600

Lot 101 102 A 1920s Matchless 1000cc V-twin motorcycle restoration project.

A very interesting barn find project for the enthusiast, comprising all the major components to construct a large V-twin motorcycle. The parts consist of a frame, Matchless MAG V-twin engine, a gearbox, front forks, mudguards, footboards and numerous other components.

This now represents a wonderful opportunity for the next owner to restore the motorcycle to their specification or perhaps supply hard to obtain parts to finish an ongoing project. There is not any paperwork accompanying this lot See illustration £1400 - 1600

Lot 102 8

103 A 1923 Matchless H2 combination, registration number PR 213, black. This remarkably original motorcycle and sidecar combination has been in the same Dorset family from new. Last on the road in 1960, it still displays its last tax disc with pride. Since 1960, the motorcycle has remained in storage and it would appear that all of the major components are present to enable a full restoration. Accompanying the motorcycle is the original owner’s handbook, spare parts list and RF60. This wonderful motorcycle combination now offers the next owner a remarkable opportunity to restore this original machine to its former glory. V5C, no current MOT or tax See cover and other illustration £5000 - 7000

Lot 103

104 A 2008 Harley-Davidson DYNA FXDF FAT BOB motorcycle, registration number WR08 ECJ, black. This one owner FAT BOB has only been ridden 6,000 miles from new.

V5C, MOT to September 2013, taxed See illustration £4000 - 5000

Lot 105 9

106 A 1965 BSA Beagle, registration number BYD 23C, red.

Introduced by the press in the Autumn of 1962, the 75cc single cylinder four stroke was intended to replace the D1 Bantam. The Beagle could cruise at 40 mph and return up to 150 mpg, but the model was short lived and was withdrawn from sale in 1965. This restored example was first registered 1st April 1965 and has the rare leg guards fitted. It will require a final shakedown and safety checks before once again taking to the road, as it hasn’t been ridden since the restoration was completed. RF60, no current MOT or tax See illustration £800 - 900

Lot 106 107 A 1967 NSU Quickly, registration number GTK 969F, red. This very original NSU Quickly has been in the current ownership for the past forty years. It has recently been recommissioned and MOT’d after many years of dry storage. Accompanying the moped are old MOTs, copies of the customer’s service card, handbook and sales brochure and RF60.

Lot 107 108 A 1967 BSA C15-B40 motorcycle, registration number WAR 47E, red. This classic C15 350cc single has been restored by a previous owner. It has seen very little recent use. V5C, MOT July 2013, tax exempt See illustration £2000 - 2500 109 - 112

Lot 108 10

113 A 1961 Austin A40 Countryman, registration number 735 UXY, red with black roof. This little A40 is a real wolf in sheep’s clothing. First impressions are of a standard car but looks are deceiving. The engine has been replaced with a MG 1275cc twin SU carburettor example, the brakes have been upgraded with front discs and MG rear drums and the suspension incorporates telescopic front shock absorbers with an antiroll bar. The interior is fitted with Mini Sprite front seats and inertia seat belts, both of which are worthwhile safety features. There are a few useful spares which accompany the car, including two glass fibre front wings, the original seats, a workshop manual and other items. The vendor informs us that the little Austin has a decent turn of speed and is reluctantly only for sale so he can concentrate on a recently acquired MG B GT. V5C, MOT to September 2013, tax exempt See illustration £1000 - 1500

Lot 113

114 A 2001 Peugeot 306 cabriolet Pininfarina special, registration number B11 GHC, silver.

Lot 116

116 A 1970 Ford Cortina MKII 1600E, registration number ABW 205H, metallic blue. The highly desirable 1600E had its official launch at the 1967 Paris Motor Show. The high specification executive model featured lowered Lotus Cortina suspension, a 1600 GT Kent engine, and a luxurious interior with walnut trimmed dashboard and door cappings, sport bucket seats and full instrumentation. Originally exported to Cyprus, this MKII 1600E arrived back on these shores in 2003 and has had two registered keepers since. The current owner believes that the recorded mileage of 72,000 could be genuine, having been on Cyprus for thirty years, and the first British owner only used the car for local journeys twice a week. During its current ownership, the Cortina has undergone a programme of restoration and refurbishment to bring the car up to a show standard. This included a full respray, an engine and gear box strip down and rebuild, overhauling of the suspension with new bushes, etc and repolishing of the dashboard and door cappings. This fine example of a Ford Cortina MKII executive saloon has been restored by an enthusiast to a high standard and the next owner will have a car which can be enjoyed driven and shown in equal measure. V5C, MOT to May 2013, taxed See illustrations £5800 - 6200

Lot 117

117 A 1990 Range Rover Vogue 3.9 EFi Classic, registration number G454 HOA, Colorado silver. This Range Rover has been fastidiously maintained by the current owner. During his ownership the car has had over £22,000 spent on restoration and maintenance, to bring it up to an extremely high standard. Finished in Colorado silver with a recently retrimmed full grey leather interior with dark grey piping. The car has other modern refinements including air conditioning, electric heated windscreen, electric glass sunroof, reversing camera, twelve disc CD auto changer, electric aerial, walnut door cappings and gear knob and a new headlining. The mechanical side of things has not been skimped upon either with a rebuilt cylinder head with new valves and springs, a Piper camshaft, new balanced propshafts and front double carden joints, a later rebuilt R380 five speed gearbox, new radius arms and bushes and other items too numerous to mention. There is a huge history file accompanying the car with numerous receipts, old MOTs and the original owner’s wallet and handbook. With early two door Range Rovers now commanding such high prices, the first series four doors are surely only to go in the same direction. This meticulously maintained and restored example offers excellent value with perhaps future appreciation. V5C, MOT to October 2013, taxed See illustrations £5000 - 6000

118 A 1975 Triumph Stag, registration NRU 293P, brown. The Giovanni Michelotti styled Triumph Stag was launched in 1970. In 1964 a tired 2000 saloon was dispatched to Italy for Giovanni to restyle in preparation for the Turin Motor Show. Whilst visiting the factory engineering director Harry Webster saw the two door, four seater tourer and immediately purchased the design. Further development work took place in England including the fitting of the distinctive T roll bar and the installation example of Triumph’s all new 3 litre V8 engine.

This chocolate brown automatic with saddle tan interior has been stored for approximately the last fifteen years and now requires some recommissioning and restoration before taking to the road once again.

A worthwhile project which once finished the new owner can enjoy that V8 burble and carry four passengers in comfort. V5, no current MOT or tax See illustration £1500 - 1700

Lot 118

119 A 1984 Daimler Sovereign 4.2 litre saloon, registration number A840 EPJ, metallic blue. This Daimler has recently benefited from cylinder head work and recommissioning to obtain its new MOT.

V5C, MOT to December 2013, no current tax See illustration £1400 - 1600

Lot 120 13

121 A 1937 Daimler DB17 sports saloon, registration number CKV 608, green over black. This rare Daimler is believed to have been one of the vehicles displayed on the Daimlertand at the 1938 Earls Court Motor Show. The Daimler has just emerged from a full respray in the original colour scheme of green with black wings and accent details around the window frames. The engine was restored by a previous owner and new cooling hoses and seals have recently been replaced, and the braking system has been completely overhauled. The Daimler retains its original green leather interior, which has a well loved patina.

An exciting find of a rare model, which has had a considerable amount of recent care lavished upon it, one for the enthusiast. V5C, no current MOT, tax exempt See illustration £8000 - 10000

Lot 121

122 A 1988 Toyota Supra automatic coupé, registration number A16 HWH, white. This rare non turbo version of Toyota's Supra coupé has only had two owners and covered a believed 53,000 miles from new.

Lot 122

123 A 1984 Bentley Mulsanne Turbo, registration number 470 XYA, green. Bentley's Turbo charged Mulsanne certainly packs a high performance punch from its 6.75 litre V8 engine. For such a large luxurious saloon the performance figures are in the super car league, with a 0-60 mph of approximately six seconds and a top speed of 150 mph. This particular example is finished in a traditional dark green with a contrasting tan leather interior with green piping. It has had four caring owners and displays a believed 94,000 miles on the odometer.

There is a good service history accompanying the car including a stamped service book and invoices contained within an original Bentley document folder. A true gentleman's conveyance which offers tremendous value for money. V5C, MOT to August 2013, taxed See illustration £5500 - 6500

Lot 123 14

124 A 1992 Mercedes-Benz SL500, registration number K89 EUL, Brilliant Silver. The fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz SLs were launched in 1989 and remained in production until 2001.

Lot 124

Lot 125

125 A 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D LWB eight seater limousine, registration number OJI 1880, silver. This large and imposing Mercedes has lived a pampered life. Initially purchased by a funeral directors to convey funeral parties for the first ten years, it was then acquired by a wedding car hire firm, who kept the car for approximately another ten years, and there have been only two other registered keepers from new. When under the care of the wedding car hire company, a full windows out respray in silver was carried out. The interior is finished in grey cloth with rear folding occasional seats.

Power is taken care of by the bullet proof 5 cylinder 3 litre diesel engine, which drives through a four speed automatic gearbox and the hydraulic suspension provides a magic carpet ride to the lucky passengers. There is a full service history with old MOTs and a stamped service book to substantiate the mileage of just over 74000 miles.

Lot 140 140 A 1991 Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth Rouse Sport 304-R 41/100, registration number H91 AGU, moonstone metallic blue. The Rouse Sport Cosworth was a limited edition version of Ford’s Sierra developed by Andy Rouse and his company, Rouse Sport. Two versions were available, the 302-R, a two wheel drive version, and the 304, the equivalent four wheel drive. Andy had hoped to build one hundred examples, but only sixty seven were subsequently made. Six two wheel drive and sixty one four wheel drive versions. The Rouse Sport Conversion added £4,450+VAT to the price of a standard car, making it the most expensive Sierra Cosworth ever marketed and sold,by Ford by some margin. The model had a unique body kit encompassing totally revised front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a much bigger spoiler, and subtle Rouse Sport badging featuring throughout, wheel arches were modified to enable fitment of wider 225/50 VR 15 inch tyres versus the standard 205/50s and the suspension was enhanced with modified bushing. All of the cars proudly displayed their Rouse status and build number on a plaque seen on the driver’s B pillar. The interior benefited from front Recaro seats with bigger bolsters and an additional set of wings over the standard version. The seats and dashboard display bespoke Rouse sport badging. Cloth trim was standard with leather trim listed as an optional extra at a cost of £280. Most customers opted for leather trim and therefore only a limited number like this car were fitted with cloth trim. This car, number 41, is the only cloth equipped car known to the RSOC. This car was registered on 4th April 1991 for the supplying Ford RS main agent, Bristol Street Motors of Bromley. This exclusive motor car, Ford’s flagship model, was run as a company car by one of Bristol Street Motors company directors. He ran the car until March 1993, at which time it had covered 19,000 miles and had been serviced in Bristol Street Motors workshops on four separate occasions. It was then retailed as a Ford A1 approved used car to a local lady, Mrs Bateman, from Sevenoaks in Kent. Mrs Bateman retained ownership of the car, using it regularly, before ownership passed to her son, who lived at the same address in 2007 and then onto the current owner in 2010. There is a full service history, including the original bill of sale from Bristol Street Motors, the original order letter from Rouse Sport, the original owner’s handbooks and wallet, receipts and documents verifying the 100,000 miles covered from new. During the current 20

ownership, the car has received a great deal of attention, and over the winter of 2010/2011, the following work was carried out: the cylinder head and bottom end of the engine were rebuilt, a new clutch was fitted, an oil pressure switch was fitted, the turbo was rebuilt, a new actuator and windscreen were fitted, the headlining was repaired, the wheels were refurbished with new tyres all round, a new fuel tank was fitted, and numerous other components. A rare sporting Ford, which the vendor informs us is in excellent condition after the refurbishment work, and he feels that it would be a great car to add to any Ford collection.

This lady owned camper has been cared for and sparingly used during her ownership. Finished in a most becoming pale green, with a two berth cabin with wooden cabinets and gas cooker. The camper has had its engine recently reconditioned by Simon Doe of Cube Garage.

Lot 166

166 A 1967 Vanden Plas Princess 4 litre limousine, registration number SMT 619F, black. Austin’s flagship range of Princess models were launched in 1947, based on the previous Sheerline. They shared the outgoing Sheerlines 120 bhp 4 litre straight six engine and came in either large saloon or seven seat limousine body styles by the coach builder Vanden Plas. During the twenty one year production run, the model was slightly revised and updated in Mark I, Mark II and Mark III versions, before it was replaced in 1956 by the new Princess Mark IV with more modern coach work incorporating integral front wings.

However the limousine version continued to be hand made by Vanden Plas at the Kingsbury Works, in increasingly small numbers, and from 1960 onwards was simply known as the Vanden Plas Princess 4 litre limousine. A firm favourite with civic dignitaries and captains of industry, Austin’s large and imposing Princess also received Royal patronage with several models being delivered to the Royal Mews.

One of which hit the news headlines in March 1974, when it was ambushed by a lone gunman and riddled with bullets in a failed attempt to kidnap Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips. This particular car has recently been recommissioned after twenty three years of dry storage (last tax disc expired 1991) and displays a recorded mileage of 40,000 on the odometer, which the vendor believes could be correct. Finished in black with gold coach lines, the interior is trimmed in West of England cloth to the rear passenger compartment which incorporates two folding occasional seats, a charming original radio and controls are incorporated into one of the passenger arm rests (just the thing to tune into the World Service!) A partition separates the passengers from the driver, who sits on a velour covered bench seat. The vendor believes that the car could have been used by the Royal household, but as yet there is not any evidence to support this. The history file contains old MOTs, a heritage certificate and some correspondence. All together a very original and interesting vehicle that would merit further investigation and research with a possible Royal connection.

167 A 1968 left hand drive Volkswagen Beetle 1500, registration number KFX 286F, blue. The evergreen Beetle is as popular today with enthusiasts as when they first rolled off the Wolfsburg production line in 1938. This Beetle has been owned by the Weill family from new. The first owner was Samuel Weill Jr, a well known Volkswagen and Porsche dealer from Calver City, California. The Beetle would remain with the family in California until it was imported into England in 2004, whereupon a full restoration was carried out. The history file contains the import documentation, correspondence between Samuel Weill and Volkswagen of America Inc, the book Small Wonder by Walter Henry Nelson, which has reference to Mr Weill, old MOTs and general correspondence. This restored Beetle, having continuous history with a family having a long term association with Volkswagen, would make a great addition to any collection.

For prospective buyers who will not be at the sale, either because they are leaving absentee bids or are having a telephone bid, and who are interested in a vehicle or motorbike, a £1,000 deposit will need to be paid. This will be refunded if the bid is not successful. If the bid is successful, this sum will be used towards the final bill.

Buyer’s Premium. A buyer’s premium of 15% plus VAT is payable on the final bid price of each automobilia lot. A buyer’s premium of 10% plus VAT is payable on the final bid price of each vehicle lot, with a minimum buyer’s premium of £100 plus VAT being payable on motor cars and £50 plus VAT being payable on motorcycles.

7)

Value Added Tax. Lots on which Value Added Tax may be payable by the buyer on the "hammer price" are indicated in the catalogue by a symbol beside the lot number. The buyer shall pay any VAT which may be due on any amounts owed by the buyer under these Terms of Business at the rates prevailing on the day of the auction.

8)

Auctioneers Margin Scheme. The Auctioneers Margin Scheme allows auctioneers to sell items without VAT on the hammer price. Under the margin scheme an amount equivalent to VAT at the current rate is added to the buyer’s premium. This amount cannot be refunded. The VAT element will not be shown separately on the buyer’s invoice.

9)

Payment. The purchase price must be paid by the buyer to Charterhouse no later than 12 noon on the Monday following the sale. Our methods of payment are with cash or card. Visa and Mastercard are accepted, and incur a 2% surcharge. Cash for amounts over £9,000 will not be accepted. All purchases must be paid in full before any lot is removed from the premises, no goods will be released to buyers unknown to the auctioneers without adequate reference.

Any buyers unknown to the auctioneer must establish a bank reference with the Accounts department prior to the sale. Anyone who, for whatever reason, is unable to pay for their goods on the day of the sale, must inform the Accounts department as to the date and method that payment will be made. Accounts not paid within fourteen days will automatically be subject to an interest charge of 5% above base rate from the day of sale. a)

Description a) All lots are sold and purchased ‘as seen’. A vehicle sold ‘as seen’ is sold and purchased for what it is and with all its faults (if any) and without any condition, warranty or other term (whether expressed or implied and whether implied by statute, common law, custom or otherwise) as to the age, description, mileage, suitability, fitness for purpose, merchantable quality or roadworthiness of the vehicle. b) Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the description of each lot, but these, whether made orally or in the catalogue, are expressions of opinion and not representations of fact.

Illustrations whether in the catalogue, on the web site, or sent by email are solely for guidance and must not be relied upon in any manner whatsoever. Most lots are of an age and nature which precludes their being in pristine condition. The condition of any lot and the nature of any damage and/or restoration should be confirmed by the buyer by examination prior to the sale. All prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the condition, colour, age and all other matters relating to any lot and no claims will be accepted in respect of any such matter. c) Each buyer by making a bid for a lot acknowledges that he has satisfied him or herself fully as to the condition of the lot. If any damage is done to any lot at the viewing or before, during or after the sale, such damage shall be made good by the person committing such damage, principals being responsible for the acts of their servants, such damage to be assessed by the auctioneers. d) Whilst every endeavour has been made to ensure that the items lotted in this catalogue will be available and offered for sale in catalogue order, no responsibility can be accepted by the auctioneers for variations and omissions due to circumstances beyond their control. Neither Charterhouse nor the sellers of any lot will accept responsibility for any misrepresentations, misdescriptions or omissions obtained in this catalogue.

11)

Contract of Sale a) On the fall of the hammer, a contract of sale is completed between the seller and the buyer.

Charterhouse is not a party to the contract of sale and shall not be liable for any breach thereof by the buyer or the seller. b) If successful in buying a lot, please ensure that your number can be seen by the auctioneer and that it is your number that is called out. Should there be any doubts as to price or buyer, please drawer the auctioneer’s attention to it immediately. Please contact the accounts desk with details of how you will pay. c) The ownership of the lot(s) purchased will not pass to the buyer until the buyer has paid the auctioneers in full the total amount due and the auctioneers have applied such payment to the lot.

12)

Transfer of Risk. Each lot shall be the purchaser’s sole risk from the fall of the hammer and shall be sold with all faults and imperfections, the auctioneer not being responsible for the correct description, genuineness or authenticity of any lot and making no warranty whatsoever. The purchaser is deemed to have inspected the lots and satisfied himself as to their condition.

Commission Bids. If instructed, the auctioneers will execute bids and advise prospective purchasers. This service is free. Lots will always be purchased as cheaply as is allowed by such other bids and reserves as are on the auctioneer’s books. In the event of identical bids, the earliest will take precedence. There must always be a maximum limit indicated, ie the amount to which you would bid if you were attending the auction yourself. "Buy" or unlimited bids will not be accepted.

Commission bids placed by telephone are accepted at the client’s risk. We do accept commission bids by facsimile and email, providing they are accompanied by full name and address details. We urge our clients to place such commission bids within one hour of the close of the view day.

14)

Telephone Bids. Requests for telephone bidding must be registered with the Accounts department within one hour of the close of the view day. It may not be possible to accept requests on sale days.

Written confirmation of such bids from persons unknown to the auctioneers must be received before the commencement of the sale. Whilst every effort will be made to execute telephone bidding, the auctioneers cannot be held responsible for any default or neglect in connection with this service. All such arrangements therefore are made entirely at the prospective buyer’s risk.

15)

Collection of Goods. All vehicles must be collected by 3.30 pm on Monday 11th February. Vehicles not collected by this time will be removed to a compound at Evercreech at a cost of £60.00 + VAT per vehicle. Storage charges will then be levied at £10.00 per vehicle per day or part thereof.

Motorcycles not collected by 3.30 pm on Monday 11th February will be removed to our head office in Sherborne at a cost of £40.00 + VAT per motorcycle. Automobilia will also be removed to our head office for collection at no charge. Lots will only be released to the buyer or their authorised representative upon presentation of release notes issued by Charterhouse and settlement of any removal, handling and storage charges due. Purchasers are reminded that each lot shall be the purchasers sole risk from the fall of the hammer. Buyers should be aware that no lots will remain at the auction site after 3.30 pm on Monday 11th February.

16)

Third Party Liability. Every person on the auctioneers’ premises before, during or after a sale, shall be deemed to be there at their own risk and shall have no claim against the auctioneer or owner of the auction premises in respect of any injury they may sustain or any accident which may occur.
