2003 Ducati 999 SRegistration no. YX03 HKSFrame no. ZDMH400Aa2b002389Engine no. 226.3.064.1ATo say that the arrival of the 999 struck the Ducati world like a thunderbolt would be a gross understatement, so different was the newcomer from what had gone before. Gone was the familiar pair of horizontal rectangular headlights that had characterised the iconic 916 and its successors, replaced by a pair of vertically stacked circular lights; the result could not have looked more different. Even the trademark single-sided swinging arm had gone, swapped for a conventional double-sided 'arm thanks to designer Pierre Terblanche's new vision of what Ducati's top-of-the-range superbike should look like. The model was introduced in 2002 as the 999 and 999 S, both of which used the 998cc Testastretta engine of the superseded 998. Today the quirky 999 has its own band of dedicated devotees, and there can be no denying that it represented a major step forward in performance terms over the outgoing 998. This pristine Ducati 999 S was first registered in the UK on 1st May 2018. Said to be immaculate and original, the machine currently displays a total of only 2,590 miles on the odometer and is described by the vendor as in 'out of the box' condition. Last run in March 2023, it comes with its full book pack, including the service history, and a Ducati seat cowl. Four services are recorded; the last (end of 2021) including a change of belts. Keys present.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1957 AJS 498cc Model 18SRegistration no. FBG 391Frame no. A53814Engine no. 57/18 S 130695Associated Motor Cycles announced its post-war range of AJS and Matchless 'heavyweight' singles in June 1945. Coded Model 18 and G80 respectively, the two 500cc models shared the same 93mm stroke as their 350cc brethren, coupled to an 82.5mm bore. Housed in a rigid frame with Teledraulic front fork, the ruggedly built overhead-valve engine drove via a four-speed gearbox. Hairpin valve springs were adopted for 1949 and a swinging-arm frame introduced, the latter initially for export only but available in the UK from 1950, models so-equipped being suffixed 'S'. Carrying a Joe Francis Motors Ltd supplying dealer decal to the mudguard, this AJS Model 18S was last used on a 130-mile Oxford VMCC run on 2nd March 2023 and was last started on 7th March 2023. The machine is only being sold on account of the vendor's old age and health issues, and the fact that he is reducing the size of his collection. The accompanying history file contains a current V5C Registration Certificate; maintenance manual and instruction book; spares list book; photocopied marque-related literature; and various invoices/bills. The vendor advises us that the machine is ready to ride.

John Burningham, 1936-2019, Study for Chelsea Pensioners at Chelsea Flower Show from the artist's book 'England', unsigned, pen and wash, unframed, 36 x 26cm. John Burningham was an author and illustrator, who produced around fifty children's books. He was married to illustrator Helen Oxenbury, with whom he collaborated on pre-school children's books. This is one of eleven lots which formed part of an art exhibition in September 2022 to celebrate the centenary of Summerhill School, in Suffolk. The school was founded by A.S. Neill in 1921, who was voted as one of the most important educators of the past one-thousand years, by The Times newspaper in 2000. Each of these works has been donated by a former Summerhillian spanning the period from the 1930 to the 1990's, who have gone on to have a successful career within the creative arts, something which has always been promoted by the school, right up to the present day. All the proceeds of the sale of these kindly donated lots is helping to raise money for Summerhill School, so it can continue to build on the foundations of previous successes into the the next century, whilst paying respect and giving recognition to the success of its past pupils and hopefully inspiring creativity in the future generations.

1997 Mercedes E220 2.2 litre 2 door cabriolet Registration: P460VGN Chassis: WDB1240622C292059 Odometer: 99,638 Transmission: 4 Speed Auto Petrol MOT: Oct 2023 Guide £7,000 - £8,000 . Original purchase invoice   . 2 previous keepers . MOT's dating back to 2000  . Comprehensive history file with invoices dating back to September 1999 being its first service at Mercedes Woking  . First owner for 6 years and the second for18 years  . Original Mercedes Benz Woking dealer plates  Outside The car presents very well in the lovely Azurite Blue with straight dent free bodywork and paintwork with very few imperfections, but the few there are include; near side wing mirror has a small scratch, off side wing mirror has an even smaller scratch, near side front indicator lens has some marks on the inside, very few small stone chips under the headlights, rear quarter has small amount of rust bubbling around 20 mm in length just in front of the rear wheel. The chrome works looks immaculate, as do all 4 alloy wheels with matching Michelin tyres. The hood is free from any rips or tears and hasn't faded like some do. I would say this car has spent most of its days garaged, although can't confirm. Pleasingly has its original dealer number plates from the supplying dealer Mercedes Benz Woking. Please view our walk around video to see the condition in more detail.  Inside  The mushroom leather electric front seats present extremely well, with the drivers side looking like its benefitted from a refresh and treatment recently, with no wear to the bolster or base showing. Carpets and matts look in good dry condition as do the rear seats and door cards. The steering wheel is a half wood half leather affair which was a £500 optional extra when new, but unfortunately the wood effect is showing some signs of cracking and the leather is quite worn. The leather on the centre console behind the gear selector is coming away and will need re-gluing at some point. The headlining has some wear marks in the rear from where the hood has been folded away.  Mechanicals The 2.2 litre 4 cylinder petrol engine fire instantly and the car drives as sweet as a nut, with no undue knocks or bangs coming from the suspension components with the automatic gearbox shifting effortlessly through all gears as it wafts along quietly. Under the bonnet is very clean and free from any signs of corrosion, with the brakes working effectively and pulling up in a straight line. The electric hood works seamlessly for when those all too frequent Ribble Valley showers may catch us out. History  There is a great history file with the car which shows its first owner keeping the car for 6 years until passing it on to the 2nd Kentish owner who was a custodian from September 2003 through to July 2021. The service book has many stamps with the last being stamped by Kam Servicing in March of last year.  In amongst the many service and parts bills I came across the original purchase invoice which shows the original owner paid a whisker over £46,000 for the car back in March 1997. A photograph of this invoice is included in the photographs and shows the many optional extras.  Our Opinion  Presented in a condition that looks like its done half of the recorded mileage, this is a genuine every day useable classic which has clearly been cherished and looked after properly all its life. Ready for summer this car wants for nothing and is ready to waft you around in 90's luxury and comfort at a very affordable ownership price point.

1991 Volkswagen Scirocco GTII 1800cc 3 door coupe Original interior in superb condition Registration: J393 EUS Chassis: WVWZZZ53ZMK006466 Odometer: 85,000 Transmission: Manual MOT: Will have 12 months MOT before the auction end No Reserve • Recent distributor cap, new leads and service • Fabulous untouched tartan interior • Cambelt, water pump and thermostat carried out c.8,000 miles ago • 6 stamps in service book • Complete with original book pack • Period correct steel wheels • Ian Skelly group dealer plates • New exhaust fitted in 2022 Outside  Overall the white paintwork presents very well with the following imperfections. The painted front bumper has scuffs on both corners, there is a small scab of surface rust that has been treated smaller than a 5 pence piece at the front of the nearside wing. There are 2 areas where it looks like the paint has been rubbed through by an over ambitious mop polish operator, these are at the top of the o/s wing around 3 inches long and on the rear quarter a similar length. The matt black tape that sits between the door tops and the b pillar have small scratches where it looks like they have been caught by keys. Nearside rear corner of the roof skin has a dent around the size of a 50 pence piece. All 4 steel wheels look in good order and having recently been refurbished and shod with new matching tyres all around.  Inside The tartan cloth interior is in excellent condition with no rips or tears present on either front seats or the rear. The headlining is good and taught and the black carpets are also in excellent condition, in fact I'm struggling to find fault. It has a period Panasonic pull out stereo and importantly a complete parcel shelf with no holes where a 90's owner may have tried to fit 6" by 9"s.  Mechanicals  The 1800cc carbureted engine starts well a runs cleanly, pulls well in all gears and stops as it should. Having had a recent cam belt change, distributor cap, plug leads and service its ready to use. It also has had a recent exhaust replacement.  History  The car comes with its original book pack, and 6 service history stamps In addition to having a recent service the cam belt, water pump and thermostat was replacement around 8000 miles ago.  Our Opinion  We've all grown very fond of our Scirocco here at Gateway as its been sat in a corner waiting for disposal since last year. We think the colour really suits the boxy lines of the car and the overall condition although not immaculate is very good.  A good value alternative to the Golf GTI's with the added bonus of being nice and simple to work on for the home mechanics of us. An interesting entry to the VW scene that will cost less than it should.

Its clear that this car has been pampered throughout its life and the service and parts invoice's on file show it has wanted for nothing. A wonderful and unique driving experience, if a Vanquish has ever been on your radar, now's the time to get one of these very special cars bought before buyers start to realise the importance of their place in Aston Martin history and values start to climb again.

From the Battle of Britain to the last days of a crumbling Third Reich, the magnificent Spitfire became a symbol of the heart of a nation. For one Halifax crew on 6 October 1944, the presence of 610 Squadron's Spitfires became a godsend. Tony Gaze and his flight of 610 Squadron Spitfires have picked up a severely damaged Halifax over Holland as it lumbers homeward after an attack on synthetic oil plants in Germany. Two crew members have been ordered by skipper Ted McGindle to depart the ailing bomber by parachute while he struggles on with other crew members too badly wounded to escape. Top cover provided by 610's Spitfires ensured this 462 Squadron Halifax made it home on that October day. Comes with 7 pages of career info on many of the autographs and in the companion book see LOT90. Highly Collectable piece of WW2 history. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide. UK postage from £5.99, EU from £7.99, Rest of World from £9.99
