George Fordham, Odsey, 1918'A private collection. Previously Sir Herbert George Fordham (1854–1929), a writer on cartography whose Carto-Bibliography method of cataloguing maps was widely adopted. He attended University College, London. He was the benefactor of the Fordham collection housed by the Royal Geographical Society. He received a knighthood in 1908 and from 1920 was Deputy Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire. He donated rare maps and atlases to both the British Museum and to Cambridge University Library and he bequeathed 1300 volumes, including rare road books and itineraries, to the Royal Geographical Society. His house, 66 Odsey House, was built as a racing lodge close to Odsey racecourse by the Duke of Devonshire, and had been in the hands of the Fordham family since 1793This detailed and accurate map of Oxfordshire with its fine town plan of Oxford is Davis’s only contribution to English cartography, although he was a prolific surveyor of estates in and around Oxfordshire.

Registration – YJ63 CYEChassis No. – WBS6C92030DV74225M.O.T. – September 2025Odometer – 63,000When the BMW M6 Gran Coupe was launched in 2012 it vied with the i8 as BMW’s most expensive model. In Gran Coupe mode the M6 is a fire breathing “four door coupe” with unmatched luxury and cachet. ‘YJ63 CYE’ garnishes that already exquisite recipe with a Stage 1 map bringing power up to a mighty 681bhp (readout provided). Offered here with no reserve, ‘YJ63 CYE’ is complete with a full BMW service history, four new tyres and new pads and discs throughout. With around 63,000 miles covered to date ‘YJ63 CYE’s’ exhibits significantly below average use in the hands of five former keepers. Complete with a valid MOT until September 2025, this is your rare chance to own a rang topping BMW with a huge 681bhp on tap.With the M6 Gran Coupe BMW pulled off the seemingly impossible. As Evo noted at its launch in 2012, it looks both sleeker than an M5 and cooler than the M6 Coupe. Praise indeed! ‘YJ63 CYE’ certainly validates that view in its stealthy Singapore Grey metallic livery with carbon fibre roof panel and chunky quad exhausts. Furthermore, ‘YJ63 CYE’ sits purposefully on a set of 20-inch BMW 433M alloys with diamond cut faces and black accents. The sumptuously appointed and fastidiously engineered four seater cabin is finished in Opal White Merino leather with carbon fibre accents. Given this car’s status in the model line up and nearly £100,000 original ticket price, it features every refinement that 2013 could muster. These include four zone climate control, electrically controlled and heated seats with memory function, wide-screen BMW Professional audio and satellite navigation system and heads up display. The vendor reports the paint and bodywork as “good” and the interior as “excellent.”As with all models carrying the revered M-Sport prefix, it is ‘YJ63 CYE’s’ mechanical specification that is likely to set the purists’ hearts a-flutter, however. The heart of this beast is the S63 4.4-litre twin turbo V8 that was shared with the M5. Power is distributed via a seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission with DRIVELOGIC. The advanced Active M differential shuffles torque across the rear axle to the prioritise the wheel with the most grip. Variable damper control optimises road dynamics in real time. In addition to all that, ‘YJ63 CYE’ enjoys a significant power boost courtesy of that Stage 1 map. No wonder the vendor confirms that “it goes like a rocket” and judges all mechanical systems as “excellent.”

Registration – RS63 BBBChassis No. – WUAZZZF27NN900501M.O.T. – September 2025Odometer – 37,600Whilst the Audi RS6 sits at the top of the A6 model lineage, the Carbon Vorsprung is the ultimate offering in the RS6 range. With the “standard” RS6 Avant Carbon Vorsprung already having a retail price today of a shade under £135,000, ‘RS63 BBB’ raises the bar still further with a raft of performance upgrades and valuable extras. These comprise a Stage 2 map, a Milltek de-cat full exhaust system and Wagner performance intercoolers and air intake. The original factory hardware is also included in the sale. These enhancements are reported to take ‘RS63 BBB’s’ power output to over 800bhp and its torque to around 1200 NM. True supercar vanquishing territory! What’s more ‘RS63 BBB’ is a one owner car having covered a mere 37,600 miles to date. An example of the current C8 RS6 model, ‘RS63 BBB’ features the optional Carbon Styling Pack worth many thousands as well as the myriad of standard equipment deemed worthy of the range topping RS6.The C8 version of the Audi A6 arrived in 2019 and remains current today. The RS6 version joined the range, as usual, to become one of the fastest and most capable “cars for all seasons” that it is possible to buy. The RS6 features a 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 feeding power to all four wheels via Audi’s 8-Speed automatic gearbox. In a non-modified form this configuration is good for a sub four second 0-60mph time and an electronically limited top speed of over 170mph. And all this whist carrying a chest of drawers in the back, should you so choose. ‘RS63 BBB,’ of course, benefits from performance enhancements that will improve on those figures still further.‘RS63 BBB’ presents in Daytona Grey matt effect, another expensive option. This combined with the various carbon fibre accoutrements of that Carbon Styling Pack give ‘RS63 BBB’ a mountain of road presence and more than a little brooding menace. A set of Vossen HF2 alloy wheels in anodised bronze are fitted to add the aesthetic shock and awe as well as to the growing list of expensive extras present. The capacious cabin is exquisitely trimmed in black Valcona leather with a honeycomb quilted design and accompanying RS6 embossing. The level of factory equipment included is extensive, of course. Highlights include a panoramic sunroof, heated front and rear seats, adaptive cruise control and power-assisted door closers. There's also RS Sport Suspension Plus with dynamic ride control. Given ‘RS63 BBB’s’ one owner, low mileage provenance all aspects of the car are vendor rated as “excellent.”In summary:· A superb example current Audi RS6 model in range topping Carbon Vorsprung spec.· Further enhanced by way of high-specification, high-value performance upgrades· A single owner car with a very sensible original mileage and model specific registration plate

The configuration allowed Audi to build a 12-cylinder saloon with all-wheel drive, with conventional V12 only able to facilitate rear-wheel drive configuration. Audi re-styled the A8 in 2005, giving all variants a taller, wider trapezoidal single-frame grille, with the W12 also being the first model was to be offered with LED running lights. The naturally aspirated 6.0-litre W12 delivers around 444bhp via a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission with paddle shift, with the W12’s maximum 428 lb ft of torque and performance figures of 5.1-second 0-62mph time, and an electronically limited 155mph top speed.Manufactured in 2005, ‘YF05 JHY’ was supplied new to its first owner on the 10th of June that year by Alexander Audi of Huddersfield. Finished in Brilliant Black paintwork, this is complemented by Cream leather interior upholstery, with a brushed aluminium dashboard and the optional Burr Walnut veneer trim.

The W12 was further optioned new with electric, memory and auto-dimming mirrors, leather trimmed steering wheel, forged alloys, electric front memory comfort seats, laminated glass throughout, rear screen sun visor, and keyless entry. Offered now having covered a very modest 66,000 miles from new, the A8 has just four former keepers.Benefitting from four new tyres in 2021, new front brake pads in 2022, and a new battery early last year, the Audi is entered from a significant private collection.

A Second War ‘Battle of Alamein’ M.C. group of four attributed to Lieutenant A. T. Almond, 46th (The Liverpool Welsh) Battalion, Royal Tank Regiment, who was killed in action on 28 October 1942 Military Cross, G.VI.R. reverse officially dated 1942, with Royal Mint case of issue; 1939-45 Star; Africa Star, 1 clasp, 8th Army; War Medal 1939-45; together with the named Army Council enclosure, extremely fine (4) £1,000-£1,400 --- M.C. London Gazette 5 November 1942: ‘In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in the Middle East.’ The original Recommendation, for an Immediate M.C., states: ‘During the Battle of Alamein, at about 0900 hrs on 4 September 1942, Second Lieutenant Almond’s troop was ordered forward on to an exposed position subject to a lot of enemy artillery fire. Second Lieutenant Almond’s tank receives a direct hit from a large calibre gun. The tank, which was moving at about 10 m.p.h., caught fire and ammunition exploded. Second Lieutenant Almond and his gunner climbed out on to the turret of the tank but did not leave the rank until they had extricated the driver. Second Lieutenant Almond, although ordered to evacuate his crew, returned on another tank and managed to put out the fire sufficiently to get into the driver’s seat. He then started the engine and, although burnt himself, managed to tow out another tank which had been hit. He then drove his tank back, collected his crew, and returned into action after getting the tank into fighting trim. In spite of his burns and a temporarily blinded eye, he remained in action for another 10 hors under almost continuous shell fire. The determination, bravery, and coolness under fire which this officer showed proved a fine example to the remainder of his troop and the fact that they remained in their position materially assisted the success of the action on this front.’ Arthur Thomas Almond was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Royal Rank Regiment from 102nd O.C.T.U. on 28 December 1940, and served with the 46th (The Liverpool Welsh) Battalion during the Second World War in North Africa, using Valentine tanks. Awarded the Military Cross for his gallantry during the Battle of Alamein, he was killed in action on 28 October 1942, on which date the Battalion was in support of the 26th Australian Brigade. ‘Valentine in North Africa’ gives the following account: ‘El Alamein, 46th RTR by now were also working with the Australians, and during the main Australian thrust on the night of October 28/29 were to attack with 2/23rd Battalion and secure the road. Unfortunately, things began to go wrong from the start. The final briefing was held very late, and Colonel Clarke returned without sufficient time to give his Squadron Leaders anything more than the barest details. The attack was to get under way almost immediately, and would be delivered from a start-line which had been chosen from the map, and which had not been reconnoitred. Some of the infantry would ride on the tanks, and others in carriers. The start-line was in fact, in the middle of a minefield, and on the way to it the regiments were subjected to heavy fire which caused the infantry to drop off. Several tanks missed the minefield gaps and became casualties. The situation became extremely confused, and the enemy fire rose to a crescendo. In the light of three or four burning Valentines the anti-tank gunners were able to pick off their victims from three sides at ranges up to 1,000 yards. The attack broke down into un-coordinated assaults which took a heavy toll of both tanks and infantry. Colonel Clarke and his Intelligence Officer were badly wounded by a mortar shell, and the Regiment was taken over by Major Offord. After a night of savage fighting, Colonel Evans of 2/23rd finally ordered his battalion to dig in at 04.00, 1,000 yards in advance of the original start line, The 2/23rd had lost 29 killed, 172 wounded and 6 missing. The 46th RTR had lost all but eight of their tanks and had a high percentage of their crews killed or wounded, including all the Squadron Commanders. The casualties sustained by the 46th and 2/23rd Battalion had not been in vain. After the battle, Rommel recorded that the British tanks and infantry had succeeded in blowing a gap in his line, cutting off the 2nd Bn 125 Panzer Grenadier Regiment and a Battalion of XIth Bansagliari, who remained in Thompson’s Post, almost surrounded by their assailants, resisting all attempts to dislodge them with a ferocious determination. In addition, the 125th Regiment’s 3rd Battalion had virtually ceased to exist by next morning, the battle having raged with tremendous fury for six hours.’ Almond is buried in El Alamein War Cemetery, Egypt.
