1950 NORTON TRIALS BIKE
Registration No: LXC 887
Frame No: F3T 35082
Engine No: F3T 35082

Although various pre-war Nortons had been available to special order in trials specification, or 'Colonial' as they quaintly described them in the 1920s, it was not until 1948 that a purpose-built machine was offered in the range. The new 500T used the engine as fitted to the model 18 and ES2, a 16H diamond frame with roadholder forks up front, these raked sharply to reduce the wheelbase. The engine had an alloy cylinder head and barrel along with lightened parts elsewhere, reducing the overall weight to 300 lbs. The earliest examples had a high-level exhaust system, but by late 1949 it had been lowered with an upswept silencer. The 500T was competitive in its day and enjoyed some successes before it was discontinued in late 1954.

Norton has long enjoyed a unique place in motorcycle history. The Norton trials bike is an important part of that history. This classic trials bike is described by the vendor as being in tremendous order. The bike is offered at auction with a current V5C registration certificate and is offered at no reserve

SILVERSTONE AUCTIONS

Saturday 19th MAY 2018

The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, Towcester NN12 8TL

1984 LAND ROVER SERIES III 88"

Registration: A209 KHP

Engine Number: 36131600B

Number of cylinders: 4

CC: 2286

Year of Manufacture: 1984

RHD/LHD: Right Hand Drive

Estimate (£): 18,000 - 22,000

(+buyer's premium of 15% including VAT @ 20%)

• Desirable, petrol-engined 88" fresh from a no expense spared restoration
• Based on a new galvanised chassis with all new parts wherever required
• Rivets and spot-welds to factory spec. All nuts and bolts in stainless steel
• Rebuilt engine, gearbox and transmission, new suspension, new brakes, new everything!
• Superbly finished in Pastel Green with a new black interior
• Has to be one of the best on the market

For over sixty years now, when old Land Rovers are past their best they are usually parked in a corner of a barn with the avowed intention of “Fixing it one day”. There it will stay for a while and occasionally Number 1 Son or an impecunious nephew or someone will spend a few hours getting it going and the Landy will provide inexpensive transport to the pub for a few weeks until University beckons. At this point, it's frequently abandoned in the corner of a field against a stone wall, there to provide a climbing frame for Briar and Honeysuckle, a windbreak for the sheep, or the perfect subject for local artists.  However, over the last decade or so, with prices starting to climb, a number of old Land Rovers have been rescued and returned to life, some just enough to function well and become legal, some as smart restoration projects and some, like this one, win the 'Land Rover Lottery'.

This 1984 Land Rover Series III 88” was one such 'lost soul' having passed through a number of owners who never got around to starting the restoration. However, the owner previous to our vendor restored this cracking Series III to within an inch of its life. Apparently, it was his intention to keep it forever but a blown engine in his Aston Martin required the release of funds. The restoration of A209 KHP is too extensive to list here but is based on a new galvanised chassis with all new parts wherever required. All rivets and spot-welds are to factory spec and all nuts and bolts in stainless steel. Rebuilt engine, gearbox and transmission, new suspension, new brakes, new everything! Have a good look at the images here or better still come to the sale and crawl underneath! It was then correctly finished (not too glossy-just as it would have been) in Pastel Green with a new black interior and a new canvas top.

This Series III has to be one of the best on the market, it's certainly the best we have ever seen.

1969 LAMBORGHINI ESPADA S1

 ORIGINAL “ONE OFF” FACTORY GLASS ROOF SPECIFICATION

FROM THE COLLECTION OF DOTT. FABIO LAMBORGHINI

On May 18th, 1969, 7293 followed in the footsteps of the cutting-edge Bertone Marzal concept car when it made its public debut at the Grand Prix of Monaco. Prior to the start of the race, the metallic blue Espada completed parade laps around the circuit, with Prince Rainier III at the wheel and Princess Grace and his son Albert II, the later and current monarch of Monaco as a passenger.

The following week, Lamborghini export manager Sig. Salgarella wrote to Mr Davis, the original owner who ordered the Espada to inquire if he had seen the Lamborghini’s dramatic unveiling, stating that, “On television, the Espada was shown 7 minutes all over the world and 22 minutes in Europe. Your car is really magnificent.” On May 29th, 1969, Mr Davis’ Espada arrived in Boston aboard an Alitalia Super D6-8 cargo plane. In October 1969, the Espada was exhibited at the New England International Auto Show and was featured in the Boston Sunday Globe, with the headline “Auto Show Spotlights Italian Beauty.” Over the next few years, the custom-built Espada was displayed at numerous car events throughout New England and it never failed to draw a crowd.

The history of this unique Series 1 Espada can be traced back to its first owner, Franklin S. Davis of North Reading Massachusetts. At Carrozzeria Bertone, Mr Davis’ Espada, chassis 7293, was uniquely equipped with a large Plexiglass roof section and finished in a dazzling 15-coat metallic-flake paint job, as seen on the one-off Miura Roadster. Following its service at Wynn’s Car Care Products, the magnificent Espada eventually passed to a collector in Florida. New York collector Adam Gordon next acquired 7293 and displayed it at the Quail Motorsports Gathering in Carmel Valley. Since 2009, the Espada has been a fixture in a prominent Texas collection. With its bespoke features, rich documentation, and singular status as the 1969 Monaco Grand Prix parade car, 7293 possess all of the qualities one looks for in a thoroughbred Italian exotic.

This rare, historic, and charismatic example of the original four-seat supercar presents an exciting opportunity to acquire an important Lamborghini during the 50th-anniversary celebration of the legendary Lamborghini Espada. Restored in 2013 but in its first and original paint, signed by Prince Albert II of Monaco in 2014, now 50 years later it is back in Monaco for this historical moment today.

The car comes with US papers and new German TUV documents. All taxes and duties for the EU have been paid.A once in a lifetime chance to acquire such an important cornerstone of Lamborghini and Monaco history.

1977 RENAULT 4

Chassis Number: 5694974

Italian Registered

The Renault 4 was produced between 1961 and 1994. It was the first front-wheel drive family car produced by Renault.

The car was launched at a time when several decades of economic stagnation were giving way to growing prosperity and surging car ownership in France. The first million cars were produced by 1 February 1966, less than four and a half years after launch; eventually over eight million were built, making the Renault 4 a commercial success because of the timing of its introduction and the merits of its design.

Adelmo Fornaciari), more commonly known by his stage name Zucchero Fornaciari or simply Zucchero is an Italian singer-songwriter and musician, with an Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. His stage name, Zucchero, is the Italian word for sugar, as his elementary teacher used to call him. His music is largely inspired by gospel, soul, blues and rock music, and alternates between Italian ballads and more rhythmic R&B-boogie-like pieces. He is credited as the ‘father of Italian blues’, introducing blues to the big stage in Italy. He is one of the few European blues artists who still enjoy great international success spanning more than three decades, Fornaciari has sold over 60 million records around the world, He has collaborated and performed with many famous artists, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Brian May, Ray Charles, Sting, Bono, Luciano Pavarotti, and many more. This delightful Renault formed part of his collection for many years and is now
