1695. ASTON MARTIN & LAGONDA The V-Engined Cars.

1682. GRAND PRIX CARS 1945-65 Mike Lawrence. 1998. Comprehensive marque by marque survey of GP cars built in the twenty years after WW2. An enormous amount of research is here, not only on the big names but the more obscure machines like the 'Aston-Butterworth' and the 'Stebro' to name two at random. Fascinating.

 |
1676. BRDC EXHIBITION OF MOTOR CARS & MOTOR CYCLES. No date but I'd guess around 1948. Exhibits included Sir Malcolm Campbell's "Bluebird", John Bolster's "Bloody Mary" , a couple of GP Mercedes, Norton, Brough and Velocette motorcycles plus sundry Bugattis, Alfas, ERAs, Bentleys etc. Descriptions all written by S.C.H. Davis. Good condition apart from the (tea?) stain visible in the photo. pp.14 5.5in x 8.5in £25 |
|
 |
1675. WOLSELEY GYROSCOPE. A magnificently bonkers vehicle, the Gyroscope dates from 'approx 1910-11' according to the pencilled caption on the back. The bowler-hatted gent looks more confident than his chauffeur while the two rear passengers seem worried to say the least! Wonderful. Sadly the original press caption has been removed but it retains the stamp of the Wolseley Motors Ltd. photo publicity dept. Original photographic print in very good condition. 9.5in x 4.5in. £50 | |
 |

 |
1672. GRAND PRIX DE L'A.C.F. 1967. Poster for the French Grand Prix, held at the Le Mans 'Circuit Bugatti' - the infield course which doesn't use the public roads like the 24 hours. Good clean condition, quarter folded for original supply/mailing. I don't think it's ever been displayed, just kept rolled for the last 40 years. 15.5 in x 23.5in approx. £80 | |
|
1669. RAYMOND MAYS. A fine, bold autograph on white paper suitable for framing. This has a couple of spots of white retoucher's paint tidying it up. This and some faint pencil notes below suggest it was used for reproduction, and looking at the byline signature which accompanied his pieces in 'Motor Sport' it looks identical. This offered together with a 10in x 8in photo of Mays in his ERA in the pits at Shelsley Walsh in 1936. As a set. £75 |
|
 |
1668. SEARS/AMON COBRA CLASH. A 7.5in x 6in B&W photograph of Jack Sears in the Willment Cobra leading Chris Amon in the Tommy Atkins Cobra at Brands Hatch in 1965. Sears won by just 1.4sec. 'Motor Racing': "A wonderful dice with the massively built cars drifting very smoothly on their fat Goodyears, Sears seeming to have the edge on steam out of the corners, and Amon closing up on braking,. A great dice, from which a dead heat would have been a fitting verdict." Amon had bloodied palms after the race having blistered them in the Nurburgring 1000km race earlier in the weekend. signed by Jack Sears and Chris Amon. £50 | |
|
1667. RIVALS. LANCIA D50 & MERCEDES BENZ W196. Chris Nixon 1999.

Mint condition (slipcase is still in in the original plastic wrapper) 9in x 12in approx. pp.212 £165 |

1665. MOTOR RACING WALLPAPER. A real oddity this: a sample flyer from S.P.M. Ltd. of Chessington, Surrey offering "a sensational new idea for the real car enthusiast": Raymond Groves drawings of "1957 racing cars as driven by Fangio, Collins, Moss, Hawthorn, Salvadori, Pillette, A, Scott-Brown".
