frame number 305538, engine number 36318, beige. This rare three
owner Lambretta has been owned by the current vendor since 1968. He
used the moped sparingly for the first few years of ownership, and it has
currently been stored for a number of years. The vendor changed the
spark plug, oil and put fresh petrol in to the petrol tank, and it started
readily. It will now require further recommissioning before obtaining a
new MOT and going back on the road. The history file contains the last
tax disc dated April 1971, two old MOTs, RF60, V5C, no current MOT

155 A Fordson Standard Tractor, circa 1940. This Fordson tractor will
require restoration having been dry stored for a number of years,
although the vendor informs us that it is in running order. The tractor
would appear complete in spite of its well worn appearance, which we
believe was originally orange. Early tractors now have a thriving
collectors market and can be seen at numerous agricultural shows and
demonstrations up and down the country. This example would be a great
basis to complete a full restoration and take to the show circuit once
completed. Prospective purchasers please be aware that there is no
accompanying paperwork with this tractor. See illustration £1200 - 1500

Lot 155

156 A 1992 Jaguar XJS 3.6 litre coupé, registration number 8252 FH,

first seen in the E-Type. Finished in attractive metallic maroon with a
grey leather interior with red piping and the usual refinements of
automatic transmission, electric windows, mirrors, cruise control,
climate control, power assisted steering, stereo radio cassette and maple
veneer dash and door cappings. 8252 FH has a good history file with
service receipts, MOTs and general correspondence. The MOT and tax
have just expired and 8252 FH will require a general fettle and
recommission before taking to the road once again. V5C, no current
MOT or tax See illustration £1000 - 1200

Lot 156

registration number Y695 KDD, chassis number 2AR93200001240035,
engine number 2490073, body number B3100/37, metallic light blue.
The 156 range of Alfa Romeo’s were launch at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor

158 A 1972 Morris Minor 6cwt van, registration number KYL 857K,
chassis number 10V189306717F, white and green with sign written
panels. This 6cwt van was purchased by the vendor from the well known
Morris Minor restorer Charles Ware of The Bath Morris Minor Centre
to be used as a delivery van for his delicatessen business. This tax
exempt van is now for sale due to the sale of the vendors business, and
he informs us that KYL 857K has performed its delivery duties without
issue during his three years of ownership. These rare Morris Minor vans
are practical everyday transport and would offer the next owner an
alternative to a modern van with the added bonus of advertising
potential. V5C, MOT to March 2011, tax exempt See illustration

Lot 158

159 A 1999 Jeep Cherokee 2.5 TD Orvis, registration number


T631 OKH, chassis number 1J4FJN8MXXL531818, chilli pepper red.
A rather unusual and rare example of this Orvis Limited Edition model,

has covered just 79,000 miles from new and has a full service history.
The specification includes full leather interior, air conditioning, electric
windows and seat adjustment, cruise control and alloy wheels. The chilli

available in two and four door saloons, coupé and estate body styles.
This two owner Viva HC is in time warp condition, having covered less

(the 1991 tax disk accompanies the car) when the second and current

MOT, just a new exhaust, rebuilding of the rear brakes and a general
service. Since obtaining the new MOT the Viva has been used on a
regular bases. The history file contains old MOTs, receipts and a Haynes
Workshop manual. Viva’s are becoming increasing rare to find in this

BDG 589, chassis number TBA, engine TBA, red. Peel were the makers
of the very successful Peel micro car built at their factory on the Isle of
Man. The success of the company lead them to branch out into the very
popular sports car body manufacturing which resulted in the Healey
lookalike Peel 1000 body, only three of which were made, two finding
homes on Ford chassis’s and one on the MG TA offered for auction
today. This MG TA Special was created in 1964 when the original TA
body was starting to show its age, it was decided to replace it with a Peel
1000 GRP body. BDG 589 was rebuilt to a high standard and received
an XPAG engine and gearbox from an MG TC at the same time as the
body swap. The owner acquired a Jaguar MKII 3.4 litre saloon which
meant that the Peel Special remained unused and sat in the corner of the
garage for 44 years. The car is complete but will require
recommissioning before once again taking to the road or track. The TA
is already a sought after car in its own right, but with the Peel body it

number LD314510, engine number LF025342HE, triumph white. The
Giovanni Michelotti styled Triumph Stag was launched in 1970. In 1964
a tired 2000 saloon was dispatched to Italy for Giovanni to restyle the
car 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 for Triumphs all new 3 litre V8 engine. This desirable
manual overdrive lady owned Triumph Stag is finished in Triumph white
with a saddle tan interior and has the desirable and unusual fitting of
chrome wire wheels. This Stag also has the usual refinements of power
assisted steering, electric windows, mohair soft top and works hard top.

coming to the end of the road, and Ford produced a final limited edition
called the 280. All of the 1,038 280 Capri’s were finished in the
distinctive Brooklands green coachwork and had full raven black leather
Recaro seats with red piping, and sat on 15 inch 7 spoke alloy wheels. It
is believed their are approximately 500 still in existence. This one owner
280 must be one of the lowest mileage examples available, having
covered just 9,500 from new and comes direct from a private collection.
There is a full service history including the original bill of sale for

chassis number 3827302, engine number B.16697.P, green over black.
Henry Ford would revolutionise car manufacturing with the Model T
and Ford would built approximately 16 million Model T’s between 1908
and 1927 which was only achievable with the introduction of the
division of labour. This meant each worker was given a single task to
perform on a production line, increasing the productivity of each worker,
enabling production to increase from 6,000 cars in 1908 to over half a
million in 1916. AC 8354 is in wonderful original condition having been
in the same family ownership since 1967. Previously it resided in the
Birmingham and Cheshire areas. Finished in green over black with
yellow artillery wheels and original green leather interior and canvas
soft top. The vendor informs us that AC 8354 has received maintenance
as necessary over the years but hasn’t been restored and starts on the
button. This Model T would now do justice to any preservation class and
deserves a new sympathetic owner to preserve and enjoy the originality.

Austin 7 was Sir Herbert Austin’s answer to the Ford Model T and used
the same manufacturing techniques of mass production, i.e. the division
of labour on a production line. During its production life (1923-1939)
over 290,000 Austin 7’s of all types and specifications were made. In
1934 the Austin 7 was restyled along with the rest of the Austin range
and the saloon version was named Ruby. The restyling incorporated a
longer bonnet with a cowled radiator, a downswept tail with the spare
wheel enclosed in a metal cover, and a concealed luggage rack. DBH
269, a MKII version, has been part of a Somerset collection and has
been maintained as necessary to enable regular road use. DBH 269 is in
very original condition and retains it original blue leather interior. The

Lot 179 and alloy wheels. CPN 1K has been part of a private collection and has

of the Mini, the iconic little car designed by Sir Alec Issigonis. 3000
were made, 2000 in pearlescent cherry red and 1000 in black. The

Phillips radio cassette and also this example has the benefit of a full

red example was purchased in Salisbury in September 1989 and was
barely used for the first nine years. When purchased by the present
owner in January 1998 it was still in showroom condition and had just
442 miles on its odometer. Since then it has been regularly serviced,
taxed and MOT tested and has been sparingly used so it has still covered
Lot 180 less than 22,000 miles. There is a full service history with maintenance

184 A 1963 Morris Mini Copper 1071 S, registration 8049 SR, almond
green with an old Eglish white roof. The vendor informs us of the
following: The vendor informs us of the following – the car was acquired
by him towards the end of the year 2000. It was in a stripped down state
of repair and had not been on the road for a good deal of time. He has
managed to take pictures and document all aspects of the rebuild of the
car and has all documentation from the Mini Cooper Register, Dundee
City Archives, Heritage Trust and the DVLA, who all helped piece
together the history and the originality of the car. The car was bought car
to take part in historic road rallies but as time rolled on and life changed
it was constantly rolled to the back of the garage and never finished.
This Morris Cooper 1071 S was sold by Duthie Bros & Son Limited,
Montrose, Scotland and registered in Dundee. The salesman, Mr Angus
Lyndsay, sold it for delivery on 9th September 1963. Its first owner was
Mr David Lackie, whose widow at the time of purchase of the car was still
alive and a lot of the following information was supplied by her daughter.
The car was then sent to Harold Radford Coachbuilders of London for a
makeover. It was then treated to red leather seats, a veneered wood
dashboard, extra instruments, a Webasto sunroof, chrome side trims,
electric window lifts, a stereo radio, lamb’s wool carpets, spot lamps in
Lot 184 the grille and was re-sprayed in Silver. The engine was also believed to
be breathed on by the engine tuners of the era, Downton. He also added
his private plate, the car used that registration number until 20th April
1964 when it was given its existing plate (all documented) and his plate
was transferred on to his daughters Sunbeam Alpine (all photographic
evidence).
According to Duthie Bros’s salesman Angus Lyndsay, who still
worked at the dealership when contacted in 2001, the car remained in his
hands for approximately 15 years before being traded back in to Duthie
& Son. The car then passed to Cyril Knowles from Little Brechin, who
sprayed it purple before a fault with the engine made it unusable. Then
the Morris went to an ex Radford employee, Micheal Clarridge from
Penrith. He started the project but work commitments stopped him from
doing anymore than start to repair the shell where needed and he had
managed to completely recon and primer the shell and start to
recondition the engine. Its final stop before the vendor was with Mini
stoxs racer Andy Yeats from Wigton, who stored the shell and was
intending to use the 1071 S engine in one of his Mini Stoxs!
The Mini Cooper Register and another friend of the vendor, who has
owned and restored a large amount of Coopers including ex-works cars,
are in agreement with the vendor on all accounts. Other give away signs
were that a new roof skin had replaced the sunroof which Radford’s had
fitted (apparently the spot welds were to close and too many!!); and it
also had holes under the windows where the Wolseley hornet type
mouldings had been. The vendor had no plans to restore it as a Radford
S as the doors with the electric windows were shot, the dash and seats
were well past it, very worn, particularly ropey & extremely expensive
to replace so the Radford parts were duly sold on and the car was
restored the way it left the factory in its original almond green with an
old English white roof. This car may not be as the original owner
intended his 1071 S to be, but at least the history will never go away!
As mentioned earlier the car was initially intended to be a historic
rally car, so the list of parts below are fitted to the car would be an easy
conversion back to standard if wanted for the new owner.
Suspension has competition bushes and negative camber bottom
arms, competition bump stops and adjustable shock absorbers both front
and rear.
The engine is the original block with stage 3 12g 940s head, lightened
flywheel, 1 1/2 inch Su’s, later radiator, competition disturber cap, without
advance or retard, competition fuel pump and has a 4 synchro gear box
with all new gears and twin pin diff and a competition centre exit exhaust.
The car was prepared and painted as a bare shell in 2002 by a Rover
body shop, where the vendor worked. Both doors were new while the
boot lid and bonnet are original, then the shell built up over the last eight
years when time permitted, with all new bolts & nuts. All the interior
panels and carpets are Newton commercial and the front and rear seats
are the original S items.
The car will be sold fitted with two tone seats and Mini Cooper S
reverse rim steel wheels with hub caps. V5C, MOT to August 2011 and
currently taxed See illustrations £16,000 - 18,000

number HXI 575, chassis number 2T-2543DN, engine number
7L14998-8, Rosso red. The Jaguar SS100 is the epitome of the late
1930s sports car, and looks just right from any angle. In 1936 at
Brooklands a lightweight and tuned version lapped the circuit at
104.1 mph, but normally owners use their cars for touring, trials, sprints
and hill climbs. With such a beautiful shape and illustrious racing
heritage it is little wonder that recreations and copies would inevitably
follow. HXI 575, a Heritage Engineering recreation, was built for the
current and only owner in 1991 using a 1978 Jaguar XJ6 as the donor
vehicle. The brief was to create an accurate and usable car and this was
certainly achieved. All components in the build are either new or
reconditioned and the finished car has travelled less than 600 miles since
completion. The beautiful Rosso red body, which has an aluminium
louvered bonnet, folding windscreen and twin aero screens, is
complemented with a full cream Connolly leather interior, black mohair
soft top tonneau and hood cover. All the bright work is nickel plated and
the rear lights are original Jaguar SS100 items. The mechanical
specification is also to a very high standard with Jaguar independent
front and rear suspension with hand made Leda shock absorbers, front
anti-roll bar, servo assisted disc brakes with 3 pot front calipers and
2 pot rear callipers (virtually to Heritage C Type specification), rebuilt
XJ6 4.2 litre straight six engine mated to a four speed with overdrive
Lot 186 gearbox and 15 x 6 inch E Type chrome wire wheels. The history file
contains the original build sheets, original bill of sale for £29,000,
previous MOTs (last one dated April 4th 2007), service receipts,
SORNs, correspondence and original Heritage Engineering sales
brochure. This very accurate and a beautifully built SS100 recreation

187 A rare 1967 right hand drive Lancia Flavia Vignale convertible,
registration number PLN 110E, chassis number 815-435-002336,
engine number 502726, white. Lancia introduced the new Professor
Fessia designed Flavia in 1961, initially as a four door saloon, followed
by the Pininfarina designed coupé and a coach built Vignale convertible
and Zagato sport coupé. Lancia’s of this period are beautifully
engineered and have a bespoke character. The Vignale convertible
offered for auction has been with the current owner for the last 32 years,
and has been the subject of a comprehensive body and mechanical
rebuild. The body was stripped and new passenger and driver side upper
and lower sills, floor sections, boot floor, and both door bottoms were
replaced, a full respray in white was carried out, and the front and rear
bumpers and grill surrounds were re-chromed. The mechanical side of
the restoration has been rebuilt to a similar high standard with the engine
receiving reconditioned cylinder heads, new valves and gaskets, timing
chain, and clutch. The running gear has new shock absorbers front and
Lot 187 rear, new brakes front and rear with replaced discs, pads, pipes and
hoses and numerous other items associated with a comprehensive
restoration. The history file contains the original sales brochure,
handbook, disc brake manual, fuel injection operation manual, receipts
and old MOTs. The stylish four seat Vignale convertibles are now
becoming very rare, especially in right hand drive, and this right hand
drive version has the most desirable specification of 1800cc with
Kugelfischer fuel injection and five speed gear box. Now resplendent in
sparkling white and contrasting red interior with a beautiful wood rim
steering wheel and black mohair hood and cover the Lancia is now ready
for the next owner to enjoy. V5C, MOT to September 2011, tax exempt

188 A 1961 Jaguar MKII 3.8 litre sports saloon, registration number
RSU 733, chassis number P203235B/W, engine number LB1299/8,
silver. The new generation of compact Jaguar saloons came to the
market in 1956 with the MKI powered by the ever popular straight six
engines in 2.4 and 3.4 litre capacities. They employed unitary
construction rather than separate chassis’s and bodies as used in
previous Jaguar models. The MKII arrived in 1959 and continued in
production until 1967 available in 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 litre capacities, by
which time more than 80,000 examples of MKI and MKII had been
sold. The MKII 3.8 automatic example offered for auction has been the
subject of a comprehensive bare metal restoration. Finished in a very
attractive colour combination of silver coachwork with a beige leather
interior and walnut dashboard and door cappings. The restoration which
was completed between 2008 and 2010 was substantial. The body was
stripped to bare metal and numerous panels were replaced including
near and offside inner and outer sills, front cross member, crows feet,
Lot 188 rear valance, all four door bottoms and other panels, all of which were
supplied by Martin Robey, a full respray was then completed. The
interior was retrimmed in beige leather, new wool carpets, head lining
and the walnut was repolished. At the same time the engine, gearbox and
running gear were thoroughly overhauled. All the chrome work was
replated and new chrome wire wheels were purchased. The history file
contains numerous receipts for the fore mentioned restoration totalling
approximately £18,000, photographs of the restoration in progress and
some old MOTs and brochures. This thoroughly sorted MKII is
resplendant after all the time and money spent on it and should make a
new owner very proud. V5C, MOT to October 2011, tax exempt See

189 A Bicknell RE98 Class B National Supersports Sports racing car,


blue. The RE98 was built by Robert Bicknell in 1998 to compete in
2 litre sports car racing and was raced with great success in the Ve de Ve
and National Supersports series, winning the Arthur Mallock Memorial
design award for best designer constructor, fending off stiff competition
from Lowler and Mallock. RE98 was always a front runner winning
several races in the hands of Mark Pashley and Mike Swinnerton. RE98
was subject to a no expense spared preparation prior to John Church
purchasing the car. He campaigned the car in the newly formed Race TV
Open Sports Car Series during the 2009 season. The season was quite
successful for him with two third places in July and also the winning of
the Archie Scott Brown trophy in October. RE98 has a tubular space
frame chassis clothed in a glass fibre body, made up of three main
components, the front, centre and rear sections which can be removed in
seconds to reveal the chassis, engine, gearbox and components. RE98 is
powered by a Vauxhall 2 litre 16 valve engine (there is a dyno sheet from
Lot 189 Swindon Racing engineers showing the performance figures of max
power 211.6 bhp and max torque of 161.7 lbs/ft) mated to a Newland
five speed gearbox. The braking is taken care of by AP CP 5030 calipers,
AP CP 3770 discs and CP 4296 D43 pads. There is a vase history file
accompanying the car, with test set up sheets for various circuits
including Silverstone, Brans Hatch, Donnington Park, Thruxton and
others with gear box ratios, suspension, differential and body work
dynamics. This information is invaluable to the next owner and will save
hours of testing and money. Accompanying RE98 is a comprehensive
spares package with body panels and molds for splitters and wings,
spare limited sliff differential, suspension jigs, gearbox ratios, spare wet,
slick and intermediate tyres, split rim alloy wheels, brake pads and
drawings. John informs us that the car is turn key ready for the 2011
Open Sports Car Series and should only require new seat belts as the
current ones are out of date, and a general shake down before taking to
the track See illustrations £35000 - 38000

190 The John Pope Special Vauxhall Magnum Aston Martin DBS V8
twin turbo charged super sports saloon, registration number WNX
127N, chassis number FJP0001, engine number V540169, white. The
JPS and Tricentrol Super Saloon Championships, which took place
during the 1970’s, were for large engined saloons which had a vague
resemblance to a normal family saloon. With their large wheel arches,
spoilers and mostly large capacity V8 engines they were driven by larger
than life characters such as the legendary Gerry Marshall, Dave Brodie
and Tony Strawson. John, a retired farmer, built the John Pope Speical
over the winter of 1974 from the remains of a crashed Aston Martin
DBS V8 and a new Vauxhall Magnum body shell. Entered for the 1974
Tricentrol Super Saloon Car Championship, its first race took place on
14th April where it finished a creditable 6th place. Throughout 1974 it
raced regularly with complete reliability finishing all races entered. John
felt that the standard Aston V8 engine wasn’t powerful enough, so for
the 1975 season, with the help of David Morgan, Arthur Wilson and
Barry Rowledge engineers from Aston Martin experimental department,
they converted the engine to dry sump lubrication and fitted two
American Impellor Research turbo chargers to each exhaust bank,
Lot 190
spinning at over 5,000 rpm they pressurised the intake charge at up to 18
psi (with full boost the power output is in the region of 900 bhp, but the
V8 is currently running with approx 600 bhp with lower boost pressure).
Its reliability record was maintained throughout the 1975 season, the car
finishing all the super saloon races entered, and John Homewood drove
the Special to its first victory in August at the Lydden Circuit. In the
same year John Pope took the car to the Brighton Speed Trials and won
the Forrest Lycett trophy for the fastest sports car and the Carter Shaw
trophy for the fastest saloon with a terminal speed of 149 mph. The
super saloon was continually developed and raced throughout the 1976
and 1977 seasons. John’s Super Sports Special is not only a very potent
race car but also fully road legal and was driven to most race meetings
he took part in. John informs us that the car starts on the button and with
a bit of fettling and the usual safety checks could be used in sprints and
hill climbs or be a very potent and individual road car. Accompanying
the car are a set of slick tyres and wheels, spare turbo charger, spare fuel
tank and car cover. There is a vast history accompanying the vehicle
contained within several scrap albums with photographs, race
programmes, magazine articles, newspaper articles, race results and
other useful documentation. V5C, no current MOT or tax See

191 A 1966 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII Phase II, registration number
HDV 297D, chassis number H-BJ8-L/38805, engine number 29K-RU-
H/13519, gearbox number 13350, body number 83751, Colorado red.
The Austin Healey 3000 MKIII BJ8 was the last of the big Healeys.
Donald Healeys first Austin Healey the 100 BN1 was launched at the
1952 Earls Court Motor Show after a manufacturing agreement was
sealed between Donald Healey and Austins Leonard Lord and the first
cars rolled off the production line in 1953. There followed two major
changes to the big Healey range, the 100/6 powered by the Austin
Westminster engine which was launched in 1956 and a 3000 in 1959.
The 3000 went through MKI, II and III guises and production ceased in
1967. This 3000 Phase III, one of 3,051 cars produced was dispatched
on the 4th November 1966 to Philadelphia USA where it stayed until
1990. On its return the vendor, an Austin Healey Members Club
member, embarked on a full body and mechanical rebuild (with receipts
on file for approximately £30,000). Finished in its original colour
scheme of Colorado red with black ambler interior, black carpets,
walnut dashboard, wood rim steering wheel and laminated glass
Lot 191 windscreen. This BJ8 also benefits from having four speed gearbox with
overdrive, adjustable steering column, black hood, hood bag and full
tonneau cover. There is also a stainless steel exhaust fitted to give long
term piece of mind and the car sits on handsome chrome wire wheels.
The enthusiastically used Healey has covered approximately 22,500
miles since the restoration and has now covered a believed genuine
74,500 from new. The vast history file contains numerous receipts for
the restoration and general maintenance totalling approximately
£30,000, a heritage certificate, American certificate of origin, a good run
of MOTs except 2009 when the car wasn’t used and a comprehensive
photographic record of the rebuild. This beautiful big Healey now
deserves a new caring enthusiastic owner to continue its upkeep and to
use it with the enthusiasm it deserves. V5C, MOT to May 2011, tax
exempt See illustrations £35,000 - 38,000

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.

13) 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 8th November.
Vehicles not collected by this time will be removed to a compound at Evercreech at a cost of
£50.00 + 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 8th November will be
removed to our head office in Sherborne at a cost of £30.00 + 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
8th November.

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.
