A cost-effective and competitive entry to some of the most high-profile historic race meetings on the calendar. Royale Racing was founded in 1968 by Bob King and was basically a further development of his existing business, Racing Preparations Ltd, with a name based on its location in Park Royal, London. The RP4 was aimed at the new Motor Racing Stables F100 Championship for lightweight sports cars powered by a 1,300cc engine, however there wasn’t much support for the new championship as it appeared to compete directly with the long-established and hugely popular Clubmans Championships and it only lasted two years (1970/71). 11 RP4s (plus four RP4As) were eventually built and won the championship both years. The RP4’s big sister, the RP6, also enjoyed success and we understand that a total of nine were built. The outstanding and competitive Royale on offer here was originally built as an RP6 (RP6/8) before being meticulously upgraded to RP17 specification for the previous owner by Peter Richardson with FIA/HTP papers being issued upon completion in 2014. Since then, it has been maintained to the highest of standards regardless of cost by Gerry Wainwright Motorsport with the ‘super reliable’ BDG being rebuilt by Craig Beck in 2022 with just five outings under its belt since. The harnesses were renewed in 2022 with the fire extinguisher system also being updated in 2023. Previously a front runner at the Silverstone Classic - now Silverstone Festival - (headed in qualifying only by an M8F and John Burton’s B26, and in front of all the Lolas, Marchs, Osellas and other Chevrons) and more recently an outright winner at Brands Hatch in 2023 on the GP circuit in the hands of Rob Wainwright with a fastest lap of 1:30:2. The car is accompanied by a useful spares package which includes one spare set of (MB) wheels, silencer for track-day testing, radiator, rear upright, wheel bearings, a starter motor and other sundry items. This fabulous Royale may well be the most cost-effective way onto the Masters Sports Car Legends grid, or any other series where Chevron B19s and the like are welcome. Your early inspection is encouraged to fully appreciate the potential on offer which, in the right hands, could provide the new custodian with the opportunity to experience historic motorsport to the full.Specification Make: ROYALE Model: RP6/17 Year: 1970 Chassis Number: RP6/8 Registration Number: N/A Transmission: Manual Engine Number: H82MS/0015ER Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: AlloyClick here for more details and images
The ex-Elio de Angelis 1978 Monaco-winning Chevron B38, beautifully presented with fresh FIA paperwork valid until 2034. After an absence of three years, Chevron returned to F3 in 1976 with a B20 Formula Atlantic car converted to F3-spec with the addition of a Novamotor Toyota engine and designated B34. Derek Bennett and Paul Owens carried out a systematic development programme on this wide-tracked car and all this work paid off when the Works-backed Trivellato run team soon showed the car was a winner with their new star, Riccardo Patrese, at the wheel. As soon as the car started winning, other orders followed and Geoff Lees in a semi-works car as well as Rupert Keegan soon showed the B34’s pace in UK races.The B38 was a refinement of the B34 and was to prove very successful indeed, with some 20 race wins with only rivals, Ralt, winning more. Due to the success of the 1976 car, a lot of top drivers were tempted over to the B38 and they were to be successful all over Europe. Derek Daly won one of the British titles and Elio de Angelis took the Italian championship. The chassis was a bathtub-style monocoque with detachable subframes, front suspension by double wishbones with transverse links and wishbones and radius rods at the rear. It had excellent braking capabilities and its wide track inspired driver confidence, especially in the rain. 28 B38s were built in total.This exceptionally pretty and original Chevron F3 (B38-77-01) is the Elio de Angelis championship-winning car from the 1977 Italian Formula 3 Championship and his 1978 Monaco Formula 3 race winner. The F3 race that supported the Grand Prix was always incredibly competitive and Elio’s win that year in this car was undoubtedly the springboard to his stellar career in Formula 1 with Shadow, Lotus and Brabham.B38-77-01 still retains its original tub which is a testament to the care and maintenance enjoyed by this lovely F3 that was originally set up by multiple Grand Prix winner, Carlos Reutemann, at Ferrari’s Fiorano track before its 1978 Monaco Grand Prix win. Although nothing to do with the car, the interest provenance is further enhanced by the infamous kidnapping in Sardinia of Elio’s father and his subsequent release brokered by Don Sergio Mantovani, the parish priest of Modena, all of which is documented in the history file.Our vendor has participated in the Monaco Historique Grand Prix weekend on three occasions with 38-77-01 and undoubtedly this fittingly historied Chevron F3 would gain an entry should Formula 3s be invited to support the Grand Prix in the future.The engine was rebuilt by Craig Beck and the gearbox by Mark Bailey in 2022 and the car’s only outing since was the Goodwood Spring Sprint in 2023, meaning that the rebuilt engine and gearbox have covered less than ten miles. A fresh FIA HTP has just been issued and is valid until 31st December 2034. There is a spares package with the car that includes two sets of rims with used slicks, a fully painted and decalled nose cone, two front splitters, a nose support frame, set-up jigs, spare radiator and some Hewland gear ratios.All in all, this is a delightful Formula 3 with a lovely history, on the button with new FIA papers and a ticket for Monaco when F3 returns to the program.Specification Make: CHEVRON Model: B38 Year: 1977 Chassis Number: B38-77-01 Registration Number: N/A Transmission: Manual Make: Click here for more details and images
With straight line ownership directly from the ‘Works’ team, the distinction of having achieved the second-best WRC result of any 6R4 the fact that it presents in the very latest specification as developed in period, this is undoubtedly the best example of the breed currently available. In the early 1980s, fully aware of the influence of motorsport success on their sales figures, the British Leyland hierarchy were seeking another model to continue to carry the company name to sporting success however, in reality, there were no obvious candidates. It was only with the announcement of a new 'Group B' category for rally cars that the way became clear to commence what was to become the 6R4 programme. Under the new regulations, only 200 units were required for 'homologation' (plus 20 'Evolution' models) and there were relatively few design restrictions. Turbocharged engines, four-wheel drive, state of the art materials and lots of aerodynamic modifications were allowed resulting, over the next four years, in some of the wildest and most powerful competition machines ever produced.As is well documented elsewhere, the world of International Rallying was devastated in 1985/1986 by a number of high-profile fatal accidents resulting in ‘Group B’ rally cars being outlawed for the 1987 season, effectively ending the 6R4's International career which, owing to its long gestation period, had started a couple of years too late anyway.The car’s performance on the 1985 RAC Rally - its best-ever placing - indicated that an earlier start could have yielded much better results, certainly in the 1986 learning year. However, perhaps because of their slightly macabre, 'bad-boy' reputation or maybe due to their ballistic performance potential and the short timespan in which they ruled, genuine Works 'Group B' rally cars have become incredibly valuable, rivalled only by F1 cars with serious provenance and Le Mans winners.Consequently, we are delighted to be able to offer this genuine Works 6R4, C99 KOG. It was first registered on the 22nd April 1986 to Austin Rover and its original registration document is still present in the car’s history file along with the green insurance card in the name of BL Public Limited Company. The car enjoyed a short but impressive career in International Rallying, taking part in three rallies driven by Malcolm Wilson and Nigel Harris in the iconic Computervision livery, recording a fourth in San Remo, 17th in the Lombard RAC and fifth in the Bettega Memorial Rally.After the RAC, the car was sold by the Works to a UK-based collector in exceptionally original condition and placed into storage for several years. Sometime later, it was sourced and acquired by its next enthusiast owner who tasked well known UK 6R4 specialists with carrying out a sympathetic mechanical refurbishment in 2004. A total mechanical rebuild was carried out (documented in the file), but the exterior was left untouched so the original battle scars from its works rally career were left intact. On completion, the car was demonstrated at several events including the 2006 Goodwood Festival of Speed.Always remaining in UK-based ownership, this very important and historic Works 6R4 is now publicly offered for sale. C99 KOG comes complete with a huge array of documentation which includes its original RAC logbook, copies of the original Austin Rover specification sheets along with numerous invoices and magazine articles featuring the car. In 2023, as part of further investment, new fuel tanks were fitted with the appropriate certification.#SAXXRWNP7AD570214 (C99 KOG) has the distinction of having achieved the second-best WRC result of any 6R4 on the San Remo in 1986 and this, coupled with the fact that it is the very latest specification as developed ‘in period’, means that in our opinion, it is undoubtedly the best example of the breed currently available. With straight-line ownership directly from the Works team, retaining its original full Works-spec mechanicals and factory carbon-Kevlar panels from the 1986 RAC, this is an unrepeatable opportunity to acquire an historically important, original, ex-Works 'Group B' rally car.N.B. The eagle-eyed amongst you may have spotted that the front spoiler is a re-work. The original was forcibly removed by a tree stump back in 1986 and is not in the best of shape but will be supplied with the car in the interests of originality as will the original light-pod.Specification Make: MG Model: METRO 6R4 Year: 1986 Chassis Number: SAXXRWNP7AD570214 Registration Number: C99 KOG Transmission: 5-Speed 4x4 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

Two cast iron mechanical money banks, largest approximately 27 cm (h). [2]. [W]Note: Mechanical cast iron banks were first manufactured in the late 1800's during the industrial revolution. The 'Jolly Banks' or money boxes were a popular item during this period and are also associated with Black Memorabilia. These items are listed on the basis that they are illustrative of a bygone culture in which there were different social norms. We understand the potential controversy surrounding this type of item but believe that providing transparent information about historical context fosters greater understanding of our complex cultural history.
