Registration – PSK 886Chassis No. – B214ANM.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 83,105This imposing and extravagant 1956 Bentley S1 has a coachbuilt Hooper body finished in ivory and black. It is understood just 39 cars were produced in aluminium alloy to this design number, 8430, making it a very rare find today. ‘PSK886’ presents well, with enthusiast ownership evidenced by radiator grille badges from the VSCC, Royal Automobile Club and Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club. Notably, it has had just three previous keepers. The cream leather interior is bright and welcoming, with well-matched real wood veneer. Beautiful instruments carry the famous Bentley ‘B’ logo, with an inset Smiths clock, and the starter switch has a nice patina as evidence of its 83,100-mile odometer reading. Underneath the classic split bonnet, the 4.9-litres straight-six engine presents well, with plenty of period details. Overall, the condition is described as ‘average’.The rear compartment is ultra-luxurious, with lashings of leather, a broad centre armrest and wood veneer tables in the front seat backs. The double-deck boot is richly trimmed and includes a spare wheel and jack. ‘PSK886’ also comes with the original Bentley S Type handbook and a thick collection of invoices and receipts. This even includes a wonderful letter from Hooper & Co’s sales manager in 1991 offering advice on spare parts. A Mr. Ratcliffe said he would be delighted to receive photographs of the car, which was undergoing restoration at the time, and wished the owner the best of luck with it.Hooper was a British coachbuilder founded way back in 1805. Holding a royal warrant from 1830, it was renowned for its top-tier luxury carriages produced to the highest standards. It evolved from horse-drawn carriages to producing flamboyant coachbuilt bodies for motor vehicles, particularly separate-chassis Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Even after it was acquired by Daimler, this continued for decades, and it was only Rolls-Royce’s decision to stop producing rolling chassis for the motor trade that led to the Hooper ceasing production in 1959, becoming a sales and service company instead. In summary:1956 Hooper-bodied Bentley S1Rich history file and original handbookBelieved to have been restored in the 1990s.
• Chauffeur driven car for Field Marshal Montgomery during WWII• HM King George VI, Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower were driven in this car• The Phantom III was the only pre-war Rolls-Royce powered by a V12 engine• Incredible history file and highly interesting provenance• Fitted with overdriveWe are pleased to present a truly remarkable automobile – the 1936 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Touring Limousine by Freestone & Webb, chassis number 3-AZ-186. A total of only 710 Phantom IIIs were built before production ceased due to the war, and today, fewer than 300 examples are thought to remain worldwide. This stunning car, famed for its smooth-running 7,338cc V12 engine and unparalleled luxury, is far more than a testament to the marque’s engineering prowess. It is an extraordinary piece of history, with direct connections to some of the most iconic figures of the Second World War, including Field Marshal Montgomery and Winston Churchill.The story of this Phantom III begins in 1936, when it was initially owned by Frederick Wilcock, the CEO of the Talbot Motor Company. At the outbreak of World War II, the car was requisitioned by the Ministry of War’s Transport Section for use by Field Marshal Montgomery, the commanding officer of the British Eighth Army. Montgomery, famously known as “Monty,” used the Rolls-Royce as his personal staff car during the war. The vehicle became known as the ‘Green Car’ due to its unique British Racing Green and black livery, a change from Montgomery’s usual black Rolls-Royces.Montgomery used the Phantom III extensively, travelling between his homes in Virginia Water, Surrey, and London, as well as during his time at Southwick House near Portsmouth in the crucial months leading up to the D-Day invasion of Europe. This car was part of the tight security and secrecy surrounding those meetings. In fact, Montgomery’s car carried not only him but also high-ranking military figures, including General and 34th President of the United States Dwight D. Eisenhower, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and HM King George VI. A particularly fascinating detail is the custom electric cigar lighter fitted in the rear compartment for Churchill's personal use, still in place today.After the Allied victory in Europe, the Phantom III’s service continued. It was reassigned to the Chief of Staff of the United States Army Air Force, General Carl Spaatz. Unfortunately, while in American hands, it suffered some damage when an American fuel tanker backed into it, the damage that was subsequently repaired. In the 1950s, during the Suez Crisis, the car was purchased by a rubber-planter in Malaya and shipped to Penang. Given the closure of the Suez Canal, it was driven through Italy and shipped from Capetown to its new home in Malaya.By this time, the Phantom III had already earned a reputation as one of Rolls-Royce’s finest models, powered by the iconic V12 engine, unique to the Phantom III and the only Rolls-Royce to be powered by a V12 until the Silver Seraph arrived in 1998. Known for its smoothness, near-silent operation, and extraordinary torque, the Phantom III set a benchmark for luxury motoring in its day. Although the car had faced mechanical challenges in more remote regions, its engine was rebuilt several years ago and remains in superb condition. It now benefits from the fitment of overdrive, enhancing its refinement for modern road use. The car was serviced at Cheshire Classic Cars in 2017 at a cost of around £11,000 plus VAT, work consisted of a comprehensive engine service, a new exhaust system, and an alloy carburettor to replace the fragile Mazak original. In more recent years, the car has seen very little use, so some recommissioning would be recommended but the engine ran very smoothly during our photography, with some coughs from the exhaust, possibly due to either old fuel or an exhaust leak.In 2014, DGY 1 was driven back to Southwick House for a commemorative event marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Present at the event were prominent figures such as Patrick Churchill, Winston Churchill’s grandson, and Lady Arabella Stuart-Smith, Montgomery’s granddaughter. The car’s participation in this event, along with its mention in various media outlets, solidified its status as an important historical artifact.The extensive history file for this vehicle is a testament to its remarkable past, including its original wartime requisition letter. The file also contains numerous old logbooks, a huge amount of correspondence during the 1960’s when Mr Wilcock’s Son was trying to track down and purchase the car, writing to several owners trying to chase the car, but often just missing it after it had been sold, photographs, and further documentation detailing the car's fascinating ‘second life’ after the war. This 1936 Rolls-Royce Phantom III (DGY 1) is a rare and historically significant motorcar, offering a unique connection to the military and political leadership of World War II. It is a true collector’s piece, preserved in remarkable, possibly original, condition and benefitting from a well-documented provenance. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this Phantom III is a must-see for any serious collector of automotive or wartime history. Supplied to auction with V5C registration document, highly detailed history folder and fitted toolkit in the boot, this Phantom III would be welcome at many top-level events and deserves to be shown around the world.

Panhard et Levassor, founded in 1887 in France, was one of the world’s pioneering automobile manufacturers. Originally a woodworking machinery company, it transitioned into automobile production after acquiring a license from Daimler to build internal combustion engines. In 1891, Panhard introduced one of the first modern automobiles, featuring a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, a configuration that became the industry standard. The company played a crucial role in shaping early automotive design and engineering, influencing car makers worldwide. Known for innovation, Panhard also contributed to military vehicle development and produced light tactical vehicles for the French army. In the post-war era, it gained attention for its lightweight, aerodynamically efficient passenger cars, such as the Dyna and PL 17, which used aluminium construction and front wheel drive. Despite its engineering prowess, Panhard was gradually absorbed by Citroën in the 1960s, ending its passenger car production by 1967. Its legacy endures as a symbol of early automotive ingenuity.This X57 is presented attractively in black coachwork with a red pin stripe and black interior. The car started life as a limousine body but was later converted to this open top tourer configuration, which suits the car very well. This Panhard was owned for more than 40 years by a Panhard club historian, so is very well known in Panhard circles and it was clearly a much-loved car for all those years. Some minor recommissioning is to be expected in places, but this would make a great summer car for attending classic car events. Supplied to auction with a V5C registration document and various bills for works throughout the years. Cosigned by Fraser Smith Interested parties should note that the private registration plate shown is to be retained by the vendor and a new, age-related registration issued instead. Additionally, we have had the car running and it ran well, though some minor recommissioning is to be expected in places following a few years of storage.

Registration No: Y1 BFH Chassis No: 1J4FJB8S1YL261747 MOT: February 2026A UK market only, run out, limited editionFully loaded with leather upholstery, air-conditioning, cruise control and bespoke styling etcOrvis, the American outdoor pursuits brand, had previously collaborated with Jeep on the Grand CherokeeRare, well-specified example of the highly influential XJ Cherokee model4-litre straight-six petrol engine allied to automatic transmissionIntroduced in 1983, the second generation Jeep Cherokee - the XJ Series – proved highly influential. Writing for Automobile magazine, Robert Cumberford hailed it as possessing “possibly the best SUV shape of all time, it is the paradigmatic model to which other designers have since aspired”. Adopting monocoque construction (rather than ‘body on frame’), the newcomer was considerably lighter and more reined than its predecessor. Powered by a choice of four- and six-cylinder engines allied to manual or automatic transmission, the off-roader stole sales from estate car and commercial buyers alike. Immortalised in countless TV shows and films, the XJ-Series remained in production until 2001. A run-out, limited production model unique to the UK market, the ‘Orvis’ boasted a tailgate spoiler, bespoke interior and exterior badging, 16-inch ‘Icon’ alloy wheels, faux bonnet vents, ruffled leather upholstery, six-way adjustable front seats, cruise control and air-conditioning etc. Supplied new by Listers of Lincoln, chassis YL261747 was first registered on 27th April 2001. Equipped with the desirable 4-litre straight-six petrol engine allied to four-speed automatic transmission, the Jeep is understood to pleasingly retain the majority of its factory paintwork and interior trim. The accompanying original service book contains entries up to 112,338 miles on 26th February 2007. Acquired by its most recent (fourth) registered keeper some twelve months later, the Cherokee has since covered an additional 47,000 miles. Sparingly used in recent years as part of a small private collection, the five-seater passed its latest MOT certificate on 6th February 2025 with ‘no advisories’. One of just 342 ‘Jeep Cherokee Orvis Autos’ currently known to the DVLA, ‘Y1 BFH’ represents a great opportunity to acquire a rare limited edition of one of the archetypal SUV designs.

Registration No: N/A Chassis No: N/A MOT: N/AUnderstood to be one of just a dozen or so bodies crafted by McNear for the Rolls-Royce Springfield Silver Ghost chassisFitted to chassis 181 KF in circa 1930 as a replacement for its former Tilbury Sedan coachworkSubstantially complete and ideal for use on another Silver Ghost chassis (or anything else with a similar wheelbase)Joining the established coachbuilding firm of Quinsler & Co as chief designer and draughtsman in 1895, George W. McNear encouraged its diversification into bodying motorcars. Based at premises on Cambria Street in Boston, Massachusetts, the company won a succession of medals for its work and, following Mr Quinsler’s retirement in 1911, was renamed ‘George W. McNear’. President of the Massachusetts State Automobile Association for many years, McNear bought the ex-Holtzer-Cabot Electric Company site on Station Street in 1918. The new 45,000 sqft premises allowing him to body commercials and offer storage to customers. Chosen to clothe Cadillac, Duesenberg, Lincoln, Locomobile, Packard and Pierce-Arrow chassis, he also received a dozen or so commissions from Rolls-Royce Inc’s Boston dealership. Most of the Springfield Silver Ghosts that emerged from his works were rakish two-door fixed head coupes, however, he did make some sedan bodies too including the one fitted to chassis 181-KF as a replacement for its original Tilbury coachwork. A handsome six-light design, it remained on the car for decades including during its ownership by ex-F1 World Champion Phil Hill and subsequent display at Pebble Beach and The Quail etc. Seemingly structurally sound and essentially complete, the storied body would be ideal for mounting on a Silver Ghost, Phantom I or any similar sized chassis.
Registration No: TAR 904 Chassis No: 120 MOT: ExemptVeteran Car Club Dated and complete with Dating CertificateA once-regular runner in the London to Brighton Veteran Car RunSimple to operate with a conventional three pedal layoutCharming history file complete with a buff log book dating back to 1954Offered with moulds for casting of a new cylinderAmerican Civil War veteran Colonel Albert Pope had created his bicycle-building empire in the 1880s and it was a natural progression to enter the automobile business, first with Columbia electric vehicles from 1897, followed by five other Pope makes, the best known of which are probably the Pope-Hartford and the Pope-Toledo – the names reflecting the location of their factories and made by the Pope Manufacturing Co. and the Pope Motor Co. respectively. Also made by the Manufacturing Co., at a factory in Hagerstown, Maryland, was the Pope-Tribune, a small car that took cues from European marques. It was introduced early in 1904 and production continued for two years, with steady developments to the specification. The initial examples had a 6hp engine with a water-cooled cylinder-head and an air-cooled barrel, rear-mounted gearbox, braking only on the transmission, and a De Dion-style 'coal-scuttle' engine cover. Towards the end of the year a fully water-cooled larger engine became standard encased in a more modern bonnet and the radiator was moved out forward of the chassis. The gearbox was relocated to a central position, necessitating placing the gear lever on the right to join a handbrake lever required for rear-wheel brakes that became a standard fitment. This was catalogued as the 'Improved' Model II.Chassis 120 has a long history in the British veteran car scene and has survived in charming ‘oily rag’ condition. Its recorded history begins in 1954, when its logbook was issued to Dr. Joseph William Edward Fellows of Ware, Hertfordshire. The 1950s was a period of burgeoning interest in early cars, partly owing to the popularity of the 1953 comedy film Genevieve, but it was also a time when they were widely available and relatively cheap – many were languishing in scrapyards or old farm buildings, and there was no shortage of amateur restorers willing to save them.Our Pope-Tribune had evidently been such a car, because it required extensive restoration prior to being put back on the road. The early Veteran Car Club Dating Certificate no. 439, issued on 30th October 1954, noted that it had a ‘Replica body and bonnet, drum brakes added, carburettor not original’. The restoration was typical of the period, with the car receiving an attractively jaunty paint job and a simple bonnet in the make-do-and-mend manner of the time. As such, it presents as a rare and genuinely historic souvenir of a period when the hobby was in its infancy.The Pope continued to be enjoyed through the 1960s, as evidenced by a string of Ministry of Transport Test Certificates. In 1963, it was acquired by Sharpe’s Autos (Landon) Ltd. – home of the famous Sharpe Collection. While operating the Gables Service Station in Rayleigh, Essex, the Sharpe family were among the foremost collectors of veteran and vintage cars in the second half of the 20th century. Some of their cars were kept in use, such as the Pope-Tribune, which they last used for the 1996 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, while others sat awaiting restoration. The Pope remained in the collection until it was dispersed at a huge sale in 2005, where it was purchased by the present owner for his small stable of early cars. He immediately began recommissioning it for the 2005 Brighton Run, and it participated in several Brightons thereafter up to 2012.In recent years, the Pope has been out of use so will require some sympathetic recommissioning. With its beautifully patinated 1950s paint and upholstery, it represents an excellent candidate for preservation and is sure to be much admired the next time it tackles the London to Brighton. The well-stocked history file includes the 1954 buff logbook and Dating Certificate, some later V5s and several historic MoT certificates.

Registration No: SV 4002 Chassis No: 62001 MOT: ExemptRare, UK-supplied, right-hand drive exampleComprehensively restored between 1983 and 1985 to the expense of some £16,000!Four-cylinder, 20hp engine with three-speed manual transmissionLong-term previous ownership of some thirty yearsThe Flanders Automobile Company operated out of Detroit, Michigan, from 1910 to 1913, with its one and only product distributed through Studebaker dealerships. The brainchild of Walter E. Flanders, who had previously been employed in the position as General Factory Manager at the Ford Motor Company's Piquette avenue plant, he co-invented the ingenious manufacturing methods which made the Model T Ford so famous. At the beginning, there were two offerings, model "30" and model "20". The "30", although prone to many faults, became a huge success but failed to outsell the Model T Ford. The 20 employed a four-cylinder engine with 20hp, a 100-inch wheelbase and was focused on a price of $750 in 1909 - then lower than Ford's "T". But, as Ford was able to cut its price regularly, the Flanders remained more expensive than the Model T for the most part. Offered in Runabout (two passengers) and Tourer (four passengers) initially, body styles became available in 1911. A total of some 31,500 cars are reputed to have been built in its three-year existence!A very rare, UK-supplied, right-hand drive example of the scarcely seen Flanders Studebaker, chassis ‘62001’ displays the supplying plaque for Studebaker Corporation of Portland Street, London on the dashboard. Understood to have been supplied new to a Doctor in Southern Ireland, the Studebaker is known to have been in a period of long-term ownership for some thirty years (understood spanned the 1960s-1980s). During this ownership, between c.1983 and 1985, the Flanders was lavished with an extensive restoration by Hightone Restorations which totalled some £16,000 in expenditure, a vast amount at the time! The works completed included full chassis shotblasting and restoration, ash frame renovation, bodywork restoration, engine overhaul, and refurbished steering, axle cases, brake shafts, prop shafts, and springs, amongst much more!Letters in the history file note that the long-term custodian was seen using the Flanders both in unrestored and post-restoration conditions. Previously a regular attendee of VCC events, the Flanders has most recently been re-commissioned and is now said to be running well, and has been driven to the local village fete and around Cambridgeshire, although there is a suspected gearbox leak that will need attention. Offered with a history file, the file contains a collection of invoices relating to the restoration, technical information, the aforementioned letters, and a V5C document. A very scarcely seen Edwardian car, especially in right-hand drive, this Flanders would be a great addition to any pre-war collection or for use at events!

Registration No: REY 755K Chassis No: 1L21472DM MOT: March 2026Just 29,000 recorded and believed genuine milesEarly features such as 1 piece rear bumper, Chrome gauge surrounds, and rear reflectorsDesirable manual gearbox example with overdriveOffered with a large history file including the original book pack"If you do not intend to buy an XJ6, don't try one, for ordinary cars will be spoilt for you thereafter. This is a very special kind of motoring" Autosport, 06/08/1970).Introduced in September 1968, the Jaguar XJ6 was an automotive exemplar of the saying that a whole can be greater than the sum of its parts. There was nothing radically new about the model's four-door monocoque bodyshell, all-round independent suspension, power assisted rack and pinion steering or four-wheel disc brakes, and yet it effectively moved the goalposts of luxury car design. Another of Sir William Lyons' stylistic masterpieces, its bluff radiator grille, slim-pillared glasshouse, pronounced belt line and quad headlights gave presence aplenty. Powered by a choice of 4.2 litre or 2.8 litre straight-six XK engines allied to either four-speed manual plus overdrive or automatic transmission, the XJ6 was a strong performer (though, the smaller-engined variant felt somewhat less powerful than its 1.4 litre deficit suggested). Belying the saloon's exterior dimensions, the cabin felt reassuringly cocooning thanks in part to a generous transmission tunnel. Hailed by Sir William Lyons as "the best Jaguar ever" during a series of 1969 television adverts, the first generation XJ6 won that year’s ‘Car of The Year’ award and remained in production until 1973.Chassis ‘1L21472DM’ was manufactured in 1971, being first road registered on the 8th of October that year as ‘EOO 71’. Boasting early features such as the single-piece rear bumper, chrome gauge surrounds, and rear reflectors, the Jaguar also benefits from being a desirable manual gearbox example with overdrive. Supplied new to a Mr Norman Owen of Bangor, he covered some 19,500 miles during the first several years of the Jaguar's life, before laying up the car for approximately four years due to the soaring petrol prices of the late 1970s. Pressed back into service in the fuel price stability of the 1980s, the XJ6 reached some 20,000 miles before a valve dropped through a piston. Thereafter fitted with a new engine by the Automobile Palace of Anglesey (supplied by Jaguar at the cost of £800), shortly afterwards Mr Owens sold the Jaguar to its second keeper. Used sparingly by the second keeper covering a further 3,000 miles, the third owner purchased ‘1L21472DM’ in 1988, again only using the Jaguar for minimal mileage with some 2,000 miles covered in 18 months, with all three of the first owners residing in North Wales.The previous owner then acquired ‘1L21472DM’ in 1990, again a resident of Anglesey, lavishing it with an extensive restoration. Entering the vendor's custodianship in 2020 and therefore leaving life in North Wales for the first time, ‘REY 755K’ is offered with only 29,000 recorded and believed genuine miles on the odometer, making a mere 9,000 miles on the ‘new’ engine fitted in the 1980s. Accompanied by a history file that contains the original Operations, Maintenance and Service manual, wiring diagram, lubrication chart and original sales literature, as well as a collection of previous MOTs and ownership history. In the vendor's ownership, the Jaguar has benefitted from £1,800 worth of improvement in 2020 with new front brake pads, front wheel bearings, ball joints, new tyres, and wheels balanced, as well as a new master cylinder and brake servo in 2021, and refreshed starting equipment. Offered with an MOT certificate until March 2026, this low mileage and five-owner example which has resided in North Wales for most of its life, boasts a barely ‘run-in’ engine on mileage and the desirable manual gearbox with overdrive!

Registration No: PJ 2716 Chassis No: OH10067 MOT: ExemptBegan life as a Supercharged model complete with factory T3 Tourer coachworkRemodelled in period with an altogether more attractive 'bustle' rear and bespoke hoodMuch improved during the current ownership via a thorough engine overhaul and suspension work etcPreviously featured on the front cover of The Automobile magazine and in 'Lagonda Heritage' by Richard BirdOwned by Lagonda Club stalwart W.J.B. Anderson from 1975 - 2007 and extensively restored in that time A development of the Lagonda 2-litre that was driven by Andre D'Erlanger and Douglas Hawkes to 11th place overall at the 1928 Le Mans 24-hour race, the 'Low Chassis' model was introduced the following year. Benefiting from a redesigned front axle (complete with rerouted braking system) and rear suspension spacers etc, its reduced centre of gravity resulted in notably sharper handling. Powered by a 1954cc 'twin-cam' four-cylinder engine that boasted hemispherical combustion chambers and inclined overhead valves, the 'Low Chassis' was reckoned to be good for 80mph (though this was somewhat coachwork dependant). Concerned that rivals such as Alvis and Sunbeam were beginning to offer cars of similar performance, the Staines-based company unveiled a supercharged derivative at the Brooklands Fete on 19th July 1930. While, the attendant demonstrator wore a Powerplus single-rotor assembly, the majority of 'blown' production cars were specified with either Cozette No.9 (4psi) or altogether rarer Zoller (5-7psi) units. Thus equipped, a 'Low Chassis' 2-litre was reputedly capable of 90mph. Underlining their performance advantage, the Lord de Clifford piloted one to 4th place overall on the 1931 Monte Carlo Rally, while St Albans motorcar dealer W.M. Couper used another one to capture a Glacier Cup on the next year's Alpine Rally. First registered in Surrey on January 14th 1932 (or so its ‘PJ 2716’ number plate would imply), chassis OH10067 began life as a supercharged 2 Litre ‘Low Chassis’ Speed Model complete with factory T3 Tourer coachwork. Surviving World War Two, the Lagonda had had its rear end elegantly reshaped and a bespoke hood frame made by the time that Dr Roger Kirkpatrick took possession in 1951. Custodian for the next six years, the anaesthetist is understood to have commissioned the neat luggage rack which remains in situ from the Bristol Hospital Workshop. Passing through the hands of Bruce Balcombe, Adair Robson, Ron Autiss, Adair Robson (again) and Roland Morgan thereafter, ‘PJ 2716’ came with two engines but had fallen into disrepair when Lagonda Club stalwart W.J.B. Anderson acquired it during 1975. Undeterred, he treated the 2 Litre ‘Low Chassis’ to a ground up restoration over the next few years (various photos relating to which remain on file). Contributing various articles to the Lagonda Club, Mr Anderson kept the Tourer for over three decades before selling it to Channel Islands resident John Refault in 2007. The latter had the bonnet and wings bare metal painted, the fabric body cleaned and the interior smartened (redyed leather, fresh carpets, revarnished dashboard etc) as well as fitting a new front valance, stainless steel exhaust and running boards. Returning to the UK mainland in September 2014, the four-seater entered the current ownership the following May for the princely sum of £83,000. Substantially improved over the past decade, more than the guide price has been spent on a thorough engine overhaul (including the purchase of a new downdraught cylinder head) plus attention to the rear axle (new half shafts), radiator, clutch, water pump, suspension and carburettors etc. The engine’s timing case is stamped with the number ‘2B 1068’ which is indicative of a supercharged unit. The vendor bought a period blower but did not reinstate it on the basis that the downdraught cylinder head gave improved performance but without the complexity of force-fed induction. Still highly presentable and, to our eyes, far more attractive than a standard T3 Tourer, ‘PJ 2716’ started readily during our recent photography session. Featured on the front cover of The Automobile magazine and in the book ‘Lagonda Heritage’ by Richard Bird whilst in Mr Anderson’s care, this undeniably handsome Post-Vintage Thoroughbred is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, numerous bills, period photos and history file. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737
