Campbell, John 1st Marquess of Breadalbane and Holland (1762–1834) A large quantity of letters dated 1812-1832 Around 150 letters written and signed by the Earl of Breadalbane to his solicitor, Harry Davidson, Esq., Writer to the Signet, of Charlotte Street, Edinburgh, sent from Taymouth Castle and a residence in London, discussing legal, property and financial matters, alongside opinion, for example: “The clergy of late are too apt to litigate with their ? I by no means feel sorry therefore that the Minister should be cast, on this occasion…” [London, September 19th 1823], and discussing daily personal issues, such as being sent a pony that “is by no means the description I gave of what I wanted” not being a “Trophy pony” (c.150) Lieutenant John Campbell was the 1st Marquess of Breadalbane, known simply as John Campbell until 1782 and the Earl of Breadalbane and Holland from 1782, when he inherited the title from his distant kinsman, John Campbell, 3rd Earl of Breadalbane and Holland. In 1806 he was also created Baron Breadalbane of Taymouth Castle, where he resided and where many of these letters are sent from.

Registration No: P100BBR Chassis No: WMWRE320X0TK77080 MOT: August 2024 c.350bhp, converted by Brodie Brittain Racing when new• Over £90,000 spent including the car's purchase price • Featured on BBC Top Gear in 2006 • Warranted 6,750 miles from new • Crystal Light Blue with White roof and Recaro leather interior The phrase 'pocket rocket' could well have been coined for 'P100 BBR', an astonishing Mini with no less than 350bhp on tap, which featured on BBC Top Gear in 2006. It was converted when new by renowned go-faster specialists Brodie Brittain Racing (BBR) of David Brodie, highly successful saloon car racer and well connected with Fast Ford performance, with the intention of making it the fastest Cooper S on the planet. According to the vendor, it remains so to this day. Small wonder then that the total cost, including the purchase of the standard car, was in excess of £90,000. The completely reworked engine features: a big valve head; BBR cam; solid tappets; turbocharger in place of the original supercharge; high-flow fuel system; remapped ECU; oil cooler plus high-flow water pump and radiator to keep the temperatures under control; and a big bore exhaust system and stainless steel downpipes to ensure the gases exit with optimum efficiency. So potent an ensemble naturally required related uprates to the running gear and chassis, which included: a limited-slip differential; anti-torque steer suspension; Polybush kit; bigger, ventilated disc brakes, and braided hoses; F1 Goodyear Eagle tyres. This monster of a Mini is equipped with a 'Works' body kit and finished in the strident combination of Crystal Light Blue teamed with a White roof, alloy wheels and mirror casings. The full Recaro interior is trimmed in Dark Blue hide complemented by Mid Blue carpets. The mileage covered to date is under a mere 6,750 warranted miles from new, and the Cooper S comes complete with the suitably apt registration 'P100 BBR' plus its original service record and owners' handbook, and is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' interior trim, 'very good' bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, and six-speed manual transmission, and 'good' paintwork. Purchasers of BMW Minis have been encouraged to customise them from day one, but this breathtaking example arguably takes the idea to a whole new level!

Includes teas, coffee, chocolate, alcoholic beverages, seafood, salt, and fruit & vegetables.

Registration No: OU09 WCT Chassis No: SAJAC43R6AMB33891 MOT: April 2025Desirable and lesser-seen Speed and Black Pack exampleJust 76,000 miles from new and five former keepersPerformance increased from 155mph to 174mph with a 0-60mph time of 4.6 secondsOffered with the original stamped service book with good service historyIntroduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK range (codenamed X150) was styled by Ian Callum. Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse, and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured bonded/riveted aluminium construction, all-round independent suspension, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Powered by either a 4.2-litre V8 or 5.0-litre engine as per the sale car, both in supercharged or non-supercharged form, the standard-fit six-speed automatic transmission could either be left to its own devices or made to swap cogs by the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts. A rival to the Porsche 911 (997) and Mercedes-Benz SL (R230), the Jaguar (X150) XK / XKR remained in production until 2014 by which time a mere 54,000 had been sold (compared to 212,704 Porsche 997s and 169,443 Mercedes-Benz R230s).The Speed and Black Packs added extra performance and styling menace to the already highly competent and pretty XKR. Raising the top speed from 155mph by almost 20mph (to 174mph), the 0-60mph capability is also increased to 4.6 seconds, and a performance exhaust also further releases the thunderous V8 noise. The Speed Pack also includes the addition of a number of unique colour-coded aerodynamic parts including the front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser and a taller rear spoiler – with the Black Pack, providing 20-inch gloss Black ‘Kalimnos’ alloy wheels, along with Black window surrounds and front grilles.Manufactured in 2009, the XKR Speed and Black Pack example offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered new on the 8th of May that year. Finished in the apt colour combination of Anthracite Black paintwork with complementary Black wheels and Black leather upholstery, the XKR was well-specified from new, with the Speed and Black Packs costing an additional £8,000 on the list price alone, and it is offered now having covered some 77,000 miles from new and has had five former keepers. Supplied with a history file that contains extensive invoices for work and maintenance, previous MOT certificates, a current MOT certificate until April 2025, and a current V5C. The original book pack in the Jaguar wallet is also included, which contains the stamped service book that displays twelve service stamps, the most recent being completed in March at 76,917 miles. Recently benefitting from new rear tyres, new rear wheel bearings, new brake pads, the Jaguar is offered with two sets of keys. A rare opportunity to acquire a desirable and lesser-seen Speed and Black Pack example. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

A George V Silver Caster, by Henry George Murphy, London, 1933, With Falcon Studios Mark in the Art Deco style, tapering cylindrical and on spreading foot, overall engraved with angular ornament, the bayonet-mounted cover with baluster finial; Together With a similar salt-cellar, maker's mark H&Sn, overstriking another, London, 1933the caster 12.5cm high, the salt-cellar 72mm diameter, total weight 7oz 19dwt, 248gr (2)Paul Atterbury and John Benjamin describe the years after 1932 as 'a highly productive period [for Murphy]' and '... [a] period defined by a significant change in style, particularly in the field of silversmithing, with a new emphasis on line engraving and the modernist and geometric forms of Art Deco...' (P. Atterbury and J. Benjamin, Arts and Crafts to Art Deco The Jewellery and Silver of H. G. Murphy, Woodbridge, 2005, p. 30), which is certainly an apt description of the present caster. It has seemingly not been determined who was responsible for the engraving on these type of objects but George Taylor Friend, an accomplished engraver, was certainly known to not only be a friend of Murphy but also to have undertaken engraving work for him. It is interesting to see a very similar example in a photograph of a display of Murphy's silver taken in the 1930s at the Red Rose Guild, Manchester (op. cit, p. 32). A nearly identical, though slightly later, example of the same model was sold at Woolley and Wallis, 30 April 2008, lot 800.Each piece fully marked underneath. The caster further part-maked on cover bezel and stamped underneath with Falcon studio mark. The marks are generally clear. There is some minor surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. There are some bruises to the sides of the salt-cellar.

Registration No: 1543 MG Chassis No: GHN5443374G MOT: October 2024In current ownership since 2004Reconditioned engine from Ivor Seale fitted in 2021 with just 3,000 miles sinceExtensively improved during the vendor's ownershipOffered with apt cherished registration number ‘1543 MG’PLEASE NOTE: The exhaust system fitted was a mild steel one, not a stainless as informed in the printed catalogue.Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph (especially if specified with overdrive), the provision of disc/drum brakes and rack and pinion steering greatly aided control. However, the biggest visual change in the car’s history occurred when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced.Chassis ‘GHN5443374G’ was manufactured in 1977 and was supplied new to the United Kingdom being road registered on the 1st of November that year. Finished in Flamenco paintwork with a Black leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, the MG was purchased by the vendor from a deceased estate in 2004 as a running car but requiring improvement. Benefitting from significant expenditure during the vendor’s ensuing twenty-year ownership, the work completed has included a bodywork restoration and repainting (with accompanying images), full re-wiring with some sensible upgrades, an interior refresh, a new mild steel exhaust system, and fitment of a reconditioned Ivor Seale engine in 2021 with just 3,000 miles since.A desirable overdrive example, the MG is offered with a tonneau cover which the vendor informs is in good condition, as are the tyres. The vendor rates the condition of the engine, electrical equipment, gearbox, paintwork, and interior trim as ‘very good’ and the bodywork as ‘excellent’. Offered with a history file that contains are large collection of previous invoices and MOT certificates, photographs of the bodywork improvements, and a current V5C document that shows seven former keepers. The recorded mileage (1)39,770 miles (at the time of consignment) is understood to be genuine, and the Roadster is offered with the very apt cherished registration number of ‘1543 MG’. A nicely presented example of the ever popular MGB, that is due to be driven some fifty miles to the sale. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

A FINE THANGKA OF AKSHOBHYATibet, 18th-19th century. Distemper and gold on cloth, with a brocade frzaame and mounted as a hanging scroll. The blue-skinned deity seated in dhyanasana on a lotus throne with offerings before him, his right hand lowered in bhumisparsha mudra and his left holding a vajra, wearing monastic robes draped over his left shoulder, backed by a green and red aureole, a small figure of his consort Lochana seated beside him, all below Buddha Amitabha flanked by White Tara and Manjusri, the lower register painted with a small image of a devotee flanked by Vajrapani and Mahakala, all within a verdant mountainous landscape.Provenance: From the collection of Indrani and Yogaraj Yogasundram. Yogaraj Yogasundram (1927-2011) was a native Sri Lankan who served as ambassador of Sri Lanka in New York, and deputy permanent representative of Sri Lanka to the UN in the 1970s and 80s. His wife Indrani (nee Coomaraswamy) was an avid collector of Asian art, amassing a large collection during her time in China, Sri Lanka, and Iraq during her husband's assignments in the 1960s and in New York thereafter.Condition: Good condition with minor wear, light soiling, minor creasing, minimal staining, and light fading. The brocade frame in similar condition with minor wear, some loose threads, and small tears.Dimensions: Image size 54.9 x 74.3 cm, Size incl. frame 81 x 129.5 cmAkshobhya's name literally means 'Immovable One'. As each Transcendental Buddha adopts one of the canonical hand gestures (mudras) referring to a key moment in Shakyamuni's life, it is apt that Akshobhya should recall Shakyamuni's unshakeable determination against the armies and temptations of Mara. In mandalas relating to his 'vajra' clan, and the Unexcelled Yoga tantras (Anuttarayoga), he occupies the center, but in the earliest tantric mandalas where the Five Transcendental Buddhas first appear, he is the Lord of the eastern quadrant, and represents the transmutation of anger into wisdom.

Reuben Powell Departure Oil, graphite and rust on tin-plate Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) This lot has been curated by Ed Cross About Reuben Powell's discipline focuses on paintings on tin-plate steel with a strong relationship to drawing. The themes explored in his work are industrial and maritime. These themes explore his own family history and a broader history. Figures rarely appear in his landscapes and seascapes. People are significant by their absence. Reuben has in the past and still does make many figurative works and this seeming contradiction in his work underlies much of Reuben as an artist. Reuben has been working on tin-plate for many years. The surface allowing for a greater depth to the picture plane and by scribing and burning the opportunity to reduce the painting back to the drawing stage is established throughout it's making. Lines are cut back through the paint and tin layer and allowed to rust and then reworked. This process repeated until resolution. It is perhaps impossible to reinvent painting though it is certainly worth. Education Born 1966 England 1982-1984.

Here she is cutting through the choppy sea of the Solent. The coloured oil painting of Gins Farm slipway where Charm is moored on the peaceful Beulieu River is a scene that has little changed since wooden sailing warships were built on the river many years ago. The raw reflective surface of the tin sheet breaking through in places. In contrast to this, only a short distance away is Fawley oil refinery on Southampton Water. Here we can see a gas carrier loading. The ship underlines the current reliance on oil and gas and the great lengths taken to transport the fuel. In the other picture from Southampton Water an oil tanker is docking to unload crude oil for the refinery as a huge rusting container ship leaves the river heavily loaded. The water between the two ships is heavily churned up. Fawley and other sites on Southampton Water will soon become free ports again underlining the reliance on the trade and the sea, both alien environments little understood by the vast majority of people. You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
