RENAULT LOUIS: (1877-1944) French Industrialist. A pioneer of the automobile industry and founder of Renault. A.L.S., `Louis Renault´, two pages, 8vo, La Batellerie, Herqueville, St. Pierre du Vauvray, Eure, Friday, 21st August 1923, to his mistress Jeanne Hatto, in French. Renault´s French text contains multiple mistakes as he stopped his studies early and based his business success on his intuition, imagination and pragmatism. Renault refers to two kind of cars, and states `J´ai bien reçu ta lettre. Selon qu´on la lis par le commencement ou par la fin elle reflete deux désirs opposés. Donc je ferais réserver les deux types de voiture, tu pourras aussi voir un petit... à ton retour et tu décideras cela sera plus sage je crois. Tu rentres dans 8 ou 10 jours de plus on ne pourrait pas commencer avant la peinture donc pas de retard. Je te téléphonerais ou bien écris-moi un mot dès ton retour pour que je puisse t´appeler au téléphone...´ (Translation: "I got your letter. Depending on whether we read it from the beginning or from the end, it reflects two opposing desires. So I will book both types of car, you will also be able to see a little... on your return and then you will decide, that will be wiser I think. You return is in 8 or 10 days and we couldn't start before the painting so no delay. I will call you or write me a note when you get back so I can call you on the phone...") The letter is written to the first and fourth page, allowing full display of the letter. Accompanied by the original envelope, addressed to Mademoiselle Jeanne Hatto, Roquemaure, Gard, postmarked and stamped. Extremely small overall creasing, otherwise VGJeanne Hatto (1879-1958) French opera Singer. Hatto was Renault´s mistress and long-time companion.

1999 Mercedes-Benz SL320 Registration: T956 RYC Chassis Number: WDB1290642F181528 Recorded mileage: 81,750 - Later 3.2 litre V6 producing 221bhp - Stylish colour combination - Desirable facelifted model The Mercedes SL series stands as the quintessential boulevard cruiser, embodying luxury and style in a way few roadsters can. Over seven decades and seven generations, the SL has consistently offered an exceptional blend of open-topped motoring and refinement, never veering too far into the realm of pure sports cars (AMG models excepted) but always delivering on elegance and sophistication. The R129, which succeeded the long-running R107 SL that spanned 1971 to 1989, marked a significant evolution in the SL lineage. The R107 was so beloved that Mercedes-Benz continued its production from 1986 to 1989, right up until the R129 made its debut. Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1989, the R129 had to exceed the lofty standards set by its predecessor, the R107, to justify its place in the SL pantheon. The introduction of the R129 was a revolution for the SL Line. With a hefty starting price of $73,500 for the mid-range 300SL model, it needed to deliver, and succeeded. Loaded with an impressive array of advancements it dazzled with its striking new design and cutting-edge technology, such as electronically controlled adaptive damping and a groundbreaking automated electro-hydraulic textile roof that could be operated with the press of a button. Safety was also a priority, with an innovative hidden, automatically extending roll-over bar designed to provide extra protection. Upon its release, the SL320 was lauded for its harmonious blend of luxury and performance. Automobile Magazine captured the essence of the R129, noting, “The SL320 is a modern classic that exudes sophistication and driving pleasure, embodying the highest standards of Mercedes-Benz engineering and luxury.” Under the sleek hood of this facelifted 1999 model is the refined, later 3.2-liter V6 engine, delivering 221 horsepower to the rear wheels through a smooth 5-speed automatic transmission. The R129 SL represents a high point in Mercedes Benz design and engineering. For collectors and enthusiasts, it offers a compelling mix of historical significance and modern performance. This era of the SL is often hailed as one of the marque’s finest, known for its classic overengineering, dependability, and enduring appeal—a true gem in Mercedes-Benz's illustrious history. This fabulous 320SL looks absolutely stunning finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic with contrasting Blue leather interior, the paintwork is excellent with a deep shine, the lavish cabin is pure classic Mercedes, all gauges and switches function exactly as they should, seats are in superb order with no rips or tears. Importantly the roof retracts and closes as it should, smoothly and without hesitation. Supplied with UK V5c, MOT valid to Aug 2025. Original hardtop and stand, comprehensive service history. Last serviced May 2020 @ 78,879 miles.

1958 MGA Roadster Registration Number: ESL 939 Chassis Number: GHNL/37111 Recorded Mileage: 9,271 miles - In current ownership for 10+ years - Upgraded with MGB engine and five-speed gearbox - Well maintained example, recently detailed and retrimmed Attractive, stylish and guaranteed head-turner anywhere, the MGA is among the most desirable and driveable of classic post-war sports cars. They are also exceptionally user friendly, being cheap to run and easily maintained by the home mechanic, with ample spares and service back-up provided by an extensive network of specialists. This beautiful MGA Roadster was delivered new to the US, returning to the UK in the 1990s to be restored and first registered here in August of 1999. Finished in black with wire wheels and a lovely tan leather interior, this is a very attractive example of the marque. A larger and more powerful MGB 1.8 litre engine and a five-speed gearbox are now fitted to the car, both useful upgrades. In the large history file are a large number of receipts since the car’s comprehensive restoration in 2002, with much further significant work in current ownership. The MGA benefits from a front disc brake conversion and new shock absorbers, as such the car now handles and stops very nicely. This lovely MGA has been in the same family ownership for over 10 years now, passing from father to son, and always very carefully maintained in that time. Within the last 1,000 miles the rear brakes have been overhauled, the axle assembly serviced (with new axle strap), also a number of other items fitted such as new hoses, electronic distributor and replacement coil. We understand the MGA was subject to a category C insurance claim in 2001. This is a bit of a mystery; having had the car recently inspected by respected classic car restorer Andy Coxhead of 355 Automobile Restorations, our vendor could not find any indication of previous damage to the car, nor any indication of the normal post-repair inspection. A theory is that the car may have suffered an engine fire in the past, as a result a claim being processed, and the original unit to be replaced with a larger MGB engine. The larger 1800cc 'B' engine certainly makes the MGA huge fun to drive - with nearly 100bhp on tap the car really sings, the slick five-speed box adds to its driving pleasure, whilst a secondary fan keeps things cool. Recently the car has been very attractively trimmed in tan leather, which sets off the beautifully polished and detailed black paintwork perfectly. A lovely looking example of an all time classic, which is brilliant to drive and lots of fun, we are sure the MGA will provide months of enjoyable summer driving for many years to come. The MGA is offered complete with a history file and UK V5C.

1989 Ferrari 348 TB - Pre-Production Press Car Registration Number: G5 FRR Chassis Number: ZFFKA35B000081437 Recorded Mileage: 57,000 kilometres (35,000 miles[Cd1] ) - Certified June 1989 Pre-Production chassis with extensive period media profile - Originally registered to Ferrari S.p.A. under the mark “MO 824101” - Complete with Ferrari Classiche certification - Fully documented ownership, four private owners from new This unique example, a certified Pre-Production chassis, was manufactured on 16th June 1989, ahead of the official launch in September of 1989 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. A press car, finished naturally in Rosso Corsa with a Pella Nera interior, this early 348 was first registered to Ferrari S.p.A with the number “MO 824101”. The car was pressed into promotional duties to support the launch of the new model, specifically as a media test car at Fiorano and for official Ferrari and other press engagements. A number or items of coverage in such titles as Road & Track, Autocar, Sports Car International, Quattoruote, also Automobile Sport & Prestige magazines chronicle its early press career. In 1989, upon signing to join the Ferrari Formula 1 Team for the following season, Alain Prost was gifted a 348tb and an F40. Interviews with Prost in French magazines shortly after that period make it clear that he did not wish to discuss the ownership of either car in detail so as not to offend Ferrari, but it was clear the 348 was sold after some promotional activity but little personal use. Included in the sale are the magazines related to both the Prost interviews discussing the cars and the promotional images with Prost alongside registration MO 824101. The first registered private owner was Italian Motoring journalist, Sig. Nestore Morosini on 30/11/1989, having likely been purchased from Rosso Corsa in Milan on registration MI 7Z3247. Two more changes of ownership occurred on 09/06/1993 and 29/01/2001 where both registrations were listed as AE 306LV. This original Italian registration plate comes with the car, along with documentation from the official Italian Registration department (ACI) to confirm lineage. The current vendor travelled to Italy to puchase the car in 2016 directly from Sig. Domenico Federico of Pescara. He was elderly, terminally ill and unable to drive the car but enthusiastically explained the car’s interesting provenance, although did not have all of the correct files to support this. From then on, the current vendor enjoyed investigating the car’s unique history for his own passion of Ferrari and has managed to collect a large quantity of supporting evidence that will be sold with the car. In current ownership the 348 has been maintained in the UK by Maranello Concessionaires and specialists DK Engineering and SMDG, supported by invoices totalling over £21,000 since 2016. Upon arrival from Italy to the UK the 348 was treated to a full engine-out service as a precaution before being used. The most recent service at Maranello Concessionaires, in July 2021 at 56,182 kilometres (and totalling £10,931) is in the file for reference. Stored and little used in recent years, the 348 is now ready for recommissioning. A unique car and an important part of the Ferrari story, this very special example is complete with a number of press titles featuring the car, a 1989 kit-built model featuring its “MO 824101” registration, , a large volume of magazines which support the launch of the 348 model, many of which specifically show the MO 824101 plate, Ferrari car cover, ACI (Automobile Club d’Italia) certificate and Ferrari Classiche certificate. One of two Ferrari’s that the Vendor has placed in this auction, neither of which he had ever intended to sell, but to be gifted to each of his children. This car has been owned for 8 years, the other for 15 years. Over the last 4 years, both cars have been used infrequently due to ill-health and kept in dry storage conditions. Regardless, the cars have been serviced and had all maintenance issues addressed without thought to cost for the duration of ownership.

Roth Brothers of New York were initially contracted (from circa 1942) by the U.S. Maritime Commission to source pre-owned chronometers, pocket chronometer movements and other accurate watch movements (such as rail watches and even automobile timepieces - mostly by makers such as Waltham) for re-casing and use on naval vessels. By 1944 Roth Brothers had started production of their own marine chronometers to satisfy demand from the war effort. However, mostly due to competition from Hamilton - who ramped-production of chronometers from around 1942 (most notably their model 21), Roth Brothers production run was very small hence very few Chronometers by them survive. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration of noticeable replacements. The dial has a couple of very slight spots of discolouration otherwise has good even silvering and strong bluing to the hands. The bowl and gimbals have overall mellowing and minor wear/oxidation to the lacquered finishes but are otherwise in fine condition.

'Grand Prix des Nations Automobile, Geneva 1946' poster after Fontanet, Swiss,rare original poster, one of only five examples known, 100 x 70cm, float mounted within a plain black oak section frame and glazed with UV Plexiglas. Footnotes:The majority of Fontanet's work was undertaken for resorts, airlines and cruise ships during the 1930s, with apparently very little being created for motor-racing or other automobile themes. This exuberant image promotes one of the very first post-war motor-racing events, the Grand Prix des Nations held in Geneva in 1946. The dynamic styling – red on black – is extremely eye-catching and was to become something of a signature colour scheme for Fontanet in the handful of car and motor-racing posters he created between the war and 1955, when the last motor race was held in Switzerland.The race held on a street circuit in Geneva on 21 July 1946 was a great success with a 1-2-3 victory for the Alfa Corse team's Alfa Romeo 158 cars, driven by Giuseppe Farina, Carlo Felice Trossi and Jean-Pierre Wimille.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: †† VAT at the prevailing rate on Hammer Price and Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
