(2)Footnotes:Winston Churchill (1874-1965), during his first Wartime term had grown attached to the government issued bullet-proof Humber Pullman cars. Having lost the May 1945 General Election to Clement Attlee's Labour Party, and after being re-elected as Prime Minister in October 1951, Churchill was in need of a suitable car and luring him away from his hitherto allegiance to his Daimler 35Hp Landaulette Limousine by Barker, William Rootes of the Rootes Group, in 1954 sold or permanently loaned Churchill the new 1954 Humber Pullman 'PDU 758' as his Official car towards the end of his second post-War term in office, on which the pennant offered here today was displayed until Churchill's retirement in April 1955.The Humber Pullmans predate the Second World War but during the War years, were only produced for British Government officials and military officers, popular for their reliability and understated luxury. Churchill's 1954 model with the Thrupp & Maberly bodywork and the largest model in the range, was fitted with a large ashtray (to accommodate his preference for his iconic Havana cigars), a (novel for the time) push button radio, and independent heating systems and was garaged at the Rootes Devonshire House Headquarters. Rootes also supplied Churchill, upon request, with a Chauffeur for the Humber Pullman, a Mr John Bullock, a company driver and eventually a favoured member of Churchill's entourage. Indeed Churchill was reported as referring to his Humber as '...The Bullock Cart'. The Churchill 1954 Humber Pullman now takes pride of place at the Louwman Motor Museum in Holland, and is displayed with a large image of Churchill with the car.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

Property of a deceased's estate, same family ownership for 44 years 1974 Ducati 250cc Mark III ProjectRegistration no. GAM 44NFrame no. 104528Engine no. 239M3 113107Designed by the legendary Fabio Taglioni, Ducati's first overhead-camshaft single appeared in 1955. Desmodromic valve operation was a feature of the racing versions and would later be applied to the sportier roadsters. The first major revision to the original design occurred in 1967 when the 'wide case' engine was introduced, which featured an aft engine mount wider than before and numerous other improvements, the most significant being a stronger big-end assembly. Mid-way through 1968, the Mark III was introduced in both valve-spring and Desmo versions, differences between the two being confined almost entirely to the cylinder head. Noteworthy developments included further increases in big-end size; the adoption of a Grimeca double-sided front brake; and the introduction of electronic ignition on the final Mark IIIs in 1973. The latter came in blue/gold (valve-spring) and yellow (Desmo) colour schemes, while a Brembo front disc brake was an option on the Desmos. This Mark III was purchased in 1977 by the vendor's late father for his son and is now offered for restoration. Currently uninstalled, the engine is believed to have been rebuilt some years ago. However, the Ducati's mechanical condition and its completeness or otherwise is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed. The machine comes with the 1977 purchase receipt; a V5C document; and some books and manuals.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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
Lot 470
1959 Ducati 175cc Formula 3 Racing MotorcycleFrame no. F512Engine no. *F512*•Ultra-rare, hand-built, limited edition model•Raced by Sonny Angel of San Diego, California•Fully restored by recognised specialists•Previously offered from the Jack Silverman Collection'As early as 1959, in line with their policy of replacing old with new, Ducati phased out its Gran Sport models in favour of the new Formula 3 series. It was to be built in three engines: the 175 (1959-61), the 125 (1959-61) and the 250 (1961-62). All three were pure-bred, hand-built racing motorcycles, built for Italian Formula 3 competition.' – Mick Walker, 'Ducati- The Racing Story'.For the production racing classes, Ducati offered its Formula 3 model in 125cc, 175cc and (later) 250cc capacities. Although visibly similar to their road-going equivalents, these were very different motorcycles featuring sand-cast crankcases and special engine internals, while the camshaft bevels and primary drive featured straight-cut gears. The gearbox was a four-speeder. Lower and lighter than the roadster versions, the frames featured a lowered steering head, shorter forks, and a shorter swinging arm. Brakes were upgraded to racing specification. Ducati quoted a maximum power output of 16bhp for the 175. The Formula 3's first major success came in 1958, shortly after its introduction, when Francesco Villa rode one to victory in the 175 F3 race supporting the Grand Prix des Nations at Monza. In its native Italy the 125 Formula 3 would provide Ducati with regular victories in that class into the mid-1960s. In the USA, works rider Franco Farné travelled the country visiting Ducati dealerships to promote the brand, as well as taking in an extensive programme of racing for which the factory had provided him with a 175 F3 and a 125 Desmo single. At Daytona in March 1959, shortly after arriving, Farné secured a memorable victory in the 250 class riding the 175cc F3. Franco Villa took over in 1960 and continued the successful promotion of Ducati's OHC singles for importer Berliner Motor Corporation.Hand built in small numbers, the Formula 3 Ducatis were necessarily expensive; indeed, in the UK the 175 cost more than a 500cc Manx Norton! Understandably, production of these exotic Formula 3 models was limited, perhaps amounting to fewer than 100, making any genuine example extremely rare today. This genuine Ducati Formula 3 was raced by Sonny Angel of San Diego, California before being enjoyed as part of the private collection belonging to a local discerning enthusiast. It was fully and correctly restored by marque expert Ted Henry of Torrance, California, with Frank Scurria rebuilding the engine before the machine became part of Hollywood photographer, Guy Webster's, collection. It was then acquired by the world famous Jack Silverman Collection until it was purchased by the current vendor at Bonhams' Autumn Stafford Sale in October 2017. The machine has not been used/run since acquisition and has been kept dry stored in the garage. Accordingly, it will need to be fully re-commissioned to a greater or lesser extent before use.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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
