HEMINGWAY ERNEST: (1899-1961) American novelist, Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1954. An exceptional A.L.S., Ernesto, seven pages (two bifolia), 8vo, n.p., n.d. (February 1941; ´Night before we get to Hawaii´), to George [Brown], on the printed stationery of the Matson Line. Hemingway writes (in bold pencil) a social letter full of wonderful anecdotes relating to his recent activities, beginning by reporting on a trip to Los Angeles where he had enjoyed the hospitality of Gary Cooper, ´Stayed with Coopers who met us with the big new cadillac double funeral hearse he bought his wife for Xmas and they had a dinner that night with one swell broad (Carole Landis) that all the marrieds or uglies jumped all over because she got a little drunko´, adding ´But she was only 22 and I said to them they should have seen what guys like me or Cooper were like when we were drunk at 22´, continuing to refer to a mixed doubles tennis match, ´Coopers wife (Rocky) and I beat Cooper and Marty 5 sets of tennis to win 11 dollars in two days. But no money changes hands......I think Marty and I could beat them but Mrs C. likes to win very much......She has very extensive taught ground strokes but she has a high bouncing serve that I could set myself and murder so it is better for her happiness that we are partners´, remarking that Martha was ´much prettier´ than the other ladies in Hollywood and ´looked like a human being instead of a kennell (sic) entry but I shudder to think what would pass with the Colonel faced by them blondes altho lots of them were 22-23 years old which is aged in the Colonel´s book´, also reporting on a visit to San Francisco, ´We ate very well and saw Mike Ward, an old pal, and his wife and Selznick shipped up Ingrid Bergman to look her over for Maria for the picture. She is perfect. Really swell. Not like those Hollywooders´. Hemingway also comments on his experiences on the boat that they are travelling on, ´it has been rough as a bastard all the time. The gym guy wouldn´t box. He rubs too and he says he is afraid it would hurt his hands altho he says he teaches boxing (he comes from Hollywood too where I guess hands hurt easy. Probably his thumbs swell up). It was a shame because I was going to left hook him in the profile.....But I worked on the big bag instead but couldn´t rouse no really dirty feeling against it on such short acquaintance and when you get close to it the fucking thing seems sort of dead and helpless and not like ones fellow man. I practiced hitting it in the balls a little´, and further writing ´Tomorrow we get into Honolulu. It sounds more like a 1/2 jig Coney Island or Polynesian Miami Beach all the time´, before concluding ´Marty sends her love. We got a bang out of the wire. I miss you and the reading Colonel and working out and all the fun we have, but will be back soon with a lot of new lies and stories´. A truly wonderful and characteristic Hemingway letter, written with energy, humour and a touch of rudeness, giving an exact idea of what conversations between the writer and his friends might have been like. The stories that delighted his friends are preserved here in an autograph letter, so that we may now share in the delight too. VGGeorge Brown, who owned a gymnasium in New York, was a friend of Hemingway´s for more than a quarter of a century and coached the writer in the sport of boxing. It was Brown who drove Hemingway home to Idaho from the Mayo Clinic in 1961 shortly before the Nobel Prize winner committed suicide. Brown was also one of the pallbearers at Hemingway´s funeral.Hemingway mentions another friend in his letter, Taylor Williams (´the Colonel´), who would be a regular hunting and shooting partner of the writer. Furthermore, Hemingway writes of his time with his good friend Gary Cooper and of meeting Ingrid Bergman, the two actors who would go on to star together in the film adaptation of For Whom The Bell Tolls in 1943. Hemingway also writes of the attractive young actress Carole Landis who, despite her relatively short lifetime (Landis also committed suicide, at the age of 29), was married four times. In addition Hemingway writes affectionately of his third wife, the writer and war correspondent Martha ´Marty´ Gellhorn (1908-1998), whom he had married in 1940.

Registration No: JV 8336 Chassis No: GYK 63 MOT: ExemptPresented in 'garage find' condition having not been seen publicly since the 1970sUnderstood to be in exceptionally well preserved original orderPreviously part of the James H. Farr collectionBelieved to be the sole surviving example supplied with a body coachbuilt by Union Motor Company LtdUnveiled in 1922, the 20hp was a second string to the Rolls-Royce bow – a shorter, more economical sibling to the Silver Ghost which broadened the marque’s reach to span both the very rich and seriously wealthy. Instantly distinguished by its horizontal radiator shutters, the newcomer was constructed around a ladder-frame chassis of 129 inch wheelbase. Power came from a 3,127cc straight-six, OHV monobloc engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox. Suspension was by semi-elliptic leaf springs all-round. Braking was initially on the rear wheels alone, while steering was by worm and nut. Progressively updated to feature a four-speed gearbox and servo-assisted all-wheel braking, the ‘baby’ Rolls remained in production until 1929, by when some 2,885 examples had vacated the company’s Derby factory. Lighter and more responsive than the Silver Ghost, the 20hp was capable of exceeding 60mph.According to copies of the Rolls Royce chassis cards that are on file, chassis GYK 63 was ordered on 4th September 1926 and delivered to Rootes Limited of Devonshire House Piccadilly on 13th October. The order form states that Rootes were providing their own coachwork and the first private owner was to be Major E.J Burt of 18 Grosvenor Street, Mayfair. According to a letter on file from the RREC, the body Rootes chose for the car was one of only two fabric bodies crafted by the Union Motor Car Company of Debigh Street, Battersea to have been fitted to a Rolls Royce, and it is understood that GYK 63 is the sole survivor. GYK 63 was registered as 'JV 8336' in January 1927 when delivered which is pleasingly retained on the car to this day. Little is known of the history of the car from Major Burt's ownership until around the 1960s, when it was acquired by James H Farr for his private museum in Scotland. The car resided in the museum until the mid 1970s, when the collection was dispersed. Purchased by the current owner along with the 1908 Cadillac in this auction, the car was re-registered with the DVLA and used up until 1997 when it was placed into dry storage. An estimate on file suggests that the interior was retrimmed in 1989. Upon inspection, our impresson was of a surprisingly sound car with its unique fabric body having been preserved remarkably well. The 20hp is sold as a non-runner and we do not believe it has been fired into life for many a year, however, turning the crank handle shows that the engine is free. Sold requiring recommissioning or restoration, 'JV 8336' is surely deserving of a place in another collection.

Registration No: BD 371 Chassis No: 24850 MOT: ExemptPresented in 'garage find' condition having not been seen publicly since the 1970sUnderstood to be in exceptionally well preserved original orderPreviously part of the James H. Farr collectionPresented with original UK registration number and showing only one keeper since 1938Known history within single-cylinder Cadillac circles and presented with a period photographThe first Cadillac, the Model A was launched at the New York Motor Show in 1903. Three cars were finished in time for the show, and by the time it was closed, all three were sold at the show and by mid-week orders had been taken for 2,286 further units, each one requiring a deposit of 10 Dollars. Designed initially as a two-seater 'horseless carriage', the Cadillac was at first powered by a 10hp single cylinder engine developed by Alanson Partridge Brush that was renowned for reliability and the car was built by the Leland and Falconer Manufacturing company of Detroit, Michigan. The hardy single cylinder Cadillac was continued even when the company began building four-cylinder models, which culminated in the Model S and Model T of 1908, for which there was little difference between the two other than the Model T lacked running boards. The Model S and T replaced the Model K and Model M with the main difference being an extension in wheelbase to 82 inches. In 1909, the single cylinder Cadillac was discontinued when it was decided to standardise the range with the four-cylinder Model 30.Understood to have been built in 1908, according to the VCC dating letter on file, 'BD 371' is thought to have been imported to the UK by Cadillac concessionaires, F.S Bennett when new. Little is known of the early history of the car, apart from a photograph dated to the 1920s which was recently shown to us via the internet. According to the buff log book on file, in 1938 the car was owned by a Mr Richard Baiwwie. It is thought that shortly afterwards that Mr James H Farr, who owned the Wardie garage in Ediburgh until the 1960s, purchased the car as part of his private museum. Mr Farr is understood to have kept the Cadillac until the mid-1970s, when the car is understood to have been purchased by the current owner, Mr Lapwood, from an auction for Mr Farr's estate - which also included the Rolls Royce 20hp which is also offered for sale at the Duxford Imperial War Museum. Sold to the current owner as a 1904 model, there are some humourous letters on file from the late 1970s demanding the reimbursement of his investment - but for whatever reason Mr Lapwood kept the car for many years afterwards. An MOT on file suggests the car was running as recently as 1980, however the car has been off the road for a number of years and is now in need of recommissioning or restoration. Unfortunately, Mr Lapwood's health has deteoriated to the point where his family have now decided to sell the collection of vehicles that he has, as he is unable to manage them himself.Upon our inspection, we noted that the bodywork appeared very solid and that the storage garage was notably dry and has thankfully preserved the car very well indeed. The wheels roll freely and the engine also is unseized. Sold strictly as viewed on a No Reserve basis, 'BD 371' is the perfect opportunity for mild recommissioning and is eligible for a number of VCC events.
