Melchor Pérez Holguín (Cochabamba, Bolivia, 1660 - Potosí, 1732)"The First Journey of Saint James the Greater to Hispania"Oil on canvas.99 x 124 cm. Beautiful painting of great historical and religious relevance, as it shows the first of James' journeys to Hispania, which left a lasting legacy in the region. This trip took place in the first century A.D. According to tradition, James was sent to Spain as one of Jesus' apostles to spread Christianity in the region. After the death of Christ, a passionate and impetuous James was part of the initial group of the early church in Jerusalem. In his evangelizing work he was awarded, according to medieval traditions, the Spanish peninsular territory, specifically the northwestern region, then known as Gallaecia. Some theories suggest that the current patron saint of Spain arrived in the northern lands via the uninhabited coast of Portugal. Others, however, trace his way through the Ebro valley and the Cantabrian Roman road. There are even those who claim that Santiago reached the peninsula by the current Cartagena, from where he started his journey to the western corner of the map.During his stay, it is believed that he performed numerous miracles and converted many people to Christianity.This journey of Santiago was of great importance for the history of Christianity in the Iberian Peninsula. His presence contributed to the expansion of Christianity in the region and laid the foundations for the subsequent evangelization of the peninsula.We say that this was James' first trip to Spain, since the second occurred centuries after his death. According to tradition, after his death in Jerusalem, his remains were taken to Hispania by his disciples. It is believed that they were buried in a place that would later become the city of Santiago de Compostela. That transfer of remains had a great impact on the region. His tomb became an important place of pilgrimage and attracted thousands of the faithful from all over Europe. The Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage route that runs throughout the Iberian Peninsula, developed around his tomb and became one of the most important pilgrimage routes in the world.In an idyllic landscape, with rich and abundant vegetation, we can contemplate a pilgrimage path that circles the river -perhaps the Ebro River-, with a bridge crossing it. The pilgrims have serene faces, full of devotion, kindness and smiles, marked by the joy of the moment.  They travel on horseback and on foot, and there is a group resting above, contemplating the temple they are approaching, surrounded by cypress trees. One stands out, James, also known in Spain as Santiago, mounted on an imposing black and white horse, the only one who, with his deep and penetrating gaze, looks directly at the viewer. The Saint stops or is stopped by another pilgrim, who rides his donkey, and both experience a spiritual and deep encounter, reflected in their faces and gestures.  Their expressions are serene, with their hands intertwined. The one on the donkey kisses the hand of the saint with reverence and devotion, aware of the spiritual power of this miraculous encounter. Both the Apostle and he have their hats removed, as a sign of respect, humility and spiritual reverence.James' journey to Galicia symbolizes the spiritual connection between East and West, becoming a cultural and religious bridge that would mark the history of Spain. As for the artist, we believe this canvas was painted by Melchor Pérez Holguín, one of the most important painters of the colonial mestizo baroque, of what was called the Potosí School, which developed in the years 1700 - 1790. Tenebrism and the influence of Zurbarán were characteristic. Holguin’s work is dominated by the many commissions carried out for the Franciscans and the Dominicans.As Suzanne L. Stratton-Pruitt indicates, despite the fact that Holguín of course knew the Cuzcan art that was widespread and stylistically of great influence in Upper Peru, his work was very personal, and is somewhat removed from that style, although it adopts some common elements as the painting of Cuzco. Likewise, the serenity reflected in the faces of his characters is characteristic of Holguín, as we can see in the work we offer.

Genuine Tiger with Ford 289ci five bolt enginePrepared for classic rallies and campaigned with great successSupplied with FIVA ID card granted in 2010 and Certificate of AuthenticityRally ready example but still wonderful as a fast road carInspired by the AC Cobra, which was effectively the British AC Ace sportscar and powered by the large American Ford 4.2 litre, V8, the Sunbeam Tiger first saw the light of day in 1964. Based upon the Rootes Group, Sunbeam Alpine, the Tiger, with the Ford power plant slotted into the engine bay, became what is surely one of motoring's true 'wolf in sheep's clothing'. With stunning performance due not only to the mighty V8 but also thanks to the lightweight Alpine shell, Tigers are sought-after for collectors and enthusiasts.This handsome Sunbeam Tiger is finished in Mediterranean Blue with black trim, it was built by Jensen in 1965 and first registered in 1967. The car was purchased by the previous owner in December 2008 and was described as a near concours example. The previous owner then set about converting the Tiger into full historic rally specification with the emphasis on driveability and reliability. The car was then extensively campaigned throughout the UK and Europe in many prestigious events and, we are informed, it has never failed to finish a rally due to mechanical issues. Importantly, the car itself is a genuine Sunbeam Tiger with a Certificate of Authenticity from the STOA USA and STOC UK and is a well-known car in classic rally circles and to the STOC.Supplied with an astonishing history file from 1965 to the present day, it encapsulates almost every MoT test certificate. Also contained within the history file are the original bills of sale from 1972 and 2008, the green logbook dated 1967, the original stamped service book dated 1967, extensive paper and photographic history, receipts from the 1980s to 2008 prior to the rally conversion, extensive current paperwork and photographic history including all invoices and an engine rebuild from 2009 to 2019, a 2010 FIVA ID card which expired in 2020, current wiring diagram for all fuses and relays and finally the original owner's handbook and workshop manual.This example could, with relative ease, be returned to fast road specification with the benefit of sublime handling for a Tiger, long range fuel tank and exceptional performance. This a very exceptional Sunbeam Tiger in amazing condition and with perhaps the best history found on such a car, the history file is truly vast. The previous owner lavished in excess of £40,000 on the vehicle since 2008, and our vendor purchased the car in 2022, managing to attend many events and shows since then. It now represents a unique opportunity to own a very special car which would be equally as valuable for historic rallying as it would be presented as a fast road original Tiger.The extensive rally modifications carried out include:High-capacity aluminium radiatorUprated front anti roll barAutomatic electric fan with manual overrideTwin Facet fuel pumps with fuel filtersTwin coils under the bonnetUprated alternatorFull engine rebuild with modern USA sourced heads, pistons, rings etc.Rebuilt Koni adjustable shocksQuick steering rackDiscreetly installed variable electric power steering rackFly-off handbrakeHydraulic handbrake easily deactivated when rally regulations do not allow itLong range flat fuel tank for maximum boot storage capacity, approx 18 gallonsUprated springs front and rear poly bushedPanhard rod with poly bushed bearings14” alloy Minilite wheelsCompetition clutch from USACompetition front pads and rear brake shoesOriginal front calipers and rear drums to comply with rally regulationsFuel coolerHurst shifterSalisbury LSD with rebuilt lower ratio diff 3:54 (original 2:88 diff too high for quick auto test)Original four speed Ford top loader gearbox in excellent working orderCompetition seats with new 3” blue harnessesFull respray in correct Mediterranean BlueBolt in roll hoop painted in Mediterranean blue with many rally stickersNew hoodFire extinguisher with fitted cageBrantz BR32 rally timer with operating instructionsBrantz Internation Pro trip meter with operating instructionsFull sump guardCibie driving lamps with adjustable staysPeriod Lucas reversing light and two integral original fit Tiger reversing lights, all switched by engaging reverse gearStainless steel luggage rackMoto-Lita steering wheelAir hornsHigh performance water pumpSports exhaust that meets noise regulations, fully secured with chains and skid platesTowing eyes, front and rearHeat wrapped headersAnti tramp barsBalanced crankshaft and fly wheelTwo digital stopwatches dash mounted, plot light, alloy under dash navigators road book tray, various map pockets, centre armrest storage.Consigned by Fraser Smith GENUINE TIGER WITH FORD 289CI FIVE BOLT ENGINEPREPARED FOR CLASSIC RALLIES AND CAMPAIGNED WITH GREAT SUCCESSSUPPLIED WITH FIVA ID CARD GRANTED IN 2010 AND CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITYRALLY READY EXAMPLE BUT STILL WONDERFUL AS A FAST ROAD CAR

Registration No: T409 TGC Chassis No: SCCJA111XXHC37459 MOT: T.B.ARecently subject to extensive recommissioning works and a professional detail after a long period of storageTwo former keepers with the current keeper since 2005Finished in Lotus Racing Green Metallic with Black upholsteryDue to be freshly MOT tested ahead of the sale following a period of inactivityIntroduced at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Lotus Elise was a driver’s car par excellence. A paragon of lightness, agility and responsiveness, the newcomer utilised a bonded extruded aluminium chassis clad with fibreglass body panels. Mid-mounted and allied to five-speed manual transmission, its 1.8 litre K-Series engine produced a modest 118bhp and 122lbft of torque. However, with a kerb weight of just 725kg the two-seater was capable of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and over 120mph. Able to glide over a broken British B-road in typical Lotus fashion, the Elise did without power steering, ABS or traction control and was all the better for it.A higher powered version of the model known as the 111S was introduced in 1999. Its extra urge was supplied by the VVC (Variable Valve Control) version of the K Series engine, which endowed the Lotus with an additional 25bhp. Related changes included a closer ratio gearbox, lower final drive ratio, cross-drilled brakes, rear spoiler, six-spoke alloy wheels, headlamp covers, ‘chipcutter’ front grille, additional seat padding and alloy window winders.Supplied by HR Owen of London and registered on the 13th August 1999, this rare Elise Series 1 '111S' was specified in the attractive colour scheme of Lotus Racing Green Metallic over a Black interior and supplied with a now very rare luggage rack, matching hardtop and quick release steering wheel. Purchased by a Mr Quayle of Wimbledon, South West London initially, the Lotus was kept by him for only three years (and serviced by HR Owen throughout this period) before passing to the second registered keeper based in Cambridgeshire. The second owner kept on top of servicing and a number of bills remain on file from Lotus specialists GST Performance for his period of ownership. The third and current keeper acquired the two-seater in November 2005 and kept it well maintained until it was put into dry storage in 2013 when he had children, so a family car took the mantle of being the daily driver. It was before this period of storage that the little Green Lotus was treated to some tasteful performance upgrades which include a full Super Sprint exhaust system, larger throttle body and Typhoon air intake, which, with a re-map has significantly improved power output, however, the stock parts are supplied with the sale if this is preferred.The vendor acquired 'T409 TGC' from the current registered keeper some months ago as a project to recommission and has mechanically overhauled the car by performing a full service including cambelt & head gasket, fitting new EBC brake pads and upgraded brake lines, replacing the fuel pump and filter, the fitment of new semi-slick tyres and work to the gear linkages with the fitment of new Powerflex bushes to improve action. The original Bilstein shock absorbers were found to be in good order, however, a replacement pair of rears are included in the sale. The current displayed mileage is a mere 78,517 miles on the odometer (though this will increase as it will be driven to sale).Now offered for sale and described by the seller as being in 'very good condition' all round, we were pleased to see that this Elise presents as a particularly original example that has had minimal paintwork to improve it over the years (although some small stone chips remain) and with no obvious signs of bodyshell deterioration. A good history file is presented with the car, which includes the original book pack and a CD-Rom workshop manual, evidence of previous servicing work, old MOTs and UK V5C. The vendor expects to have a new MOT applied as part of the sale. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: JO 1170 Frame No: 1030 MOT: ExemptBuilt for, and ridden by, George Brough himself in the 1930 MCC Edinburgh TrialFeatured in publications and Brough recordsRestored by marque guru Tony Cripps in 1980Previously on loan to the National Motorcycle MuseumEarlier design high-level exhausts on each sideOne of the great ‘rider manufacturers’, George Brough was born in 1890 and began competing sixteen years later. His successes helped put his father’s motorcycle business – W.E. Brough – on the map. The latter introduced a new ‘flat tank’ twin-cylinder machine in 1913 which formed the basis of the marque’s offerings going forward. Living in and around Coventry and working for White & Poppe during the Great War, George Brough took the opportunity to buy, sell and assess no fewer than thirty-four British and American motorcycles. This research led him to believe that by assembling the best proprietary components available to his own design he could create something better. Hence the idea of the Brough Superior was born. The very first machine to bear the famous name debuted not at a motor show but on the 1919 MCC Land’s End Trial. Road registered with the Coventry number plate ‘HP 2122’ (which appeared on countless Brough Superiors thereafter), its build quality was as impressive as its performance. Operating from premises on Hadyn Road in Nottingham, George Brough aimed right at the very top end of the market. Handbuilt, his motorcycles were likened to the very best suits or shotguns being tailored to their owners’ physiques. The company’s first Super Sports model, the SS80, debuted in 1924 and was advertised as being capable of accelerating from 8mph to 80mph in top gear. However, it was the follow-up SS100 with its certified 100mph performance which truly captured the public’s imagination. Among the very fastest machines on either four- or two-wheels that money could buy (specially tuned versions were clocked at over 130mph), the flagship Brough Superior was as beautifully styled as it was exquisitely finished. Progressively developed, the SS100 could be had with a sprung Bentley & Draper frame from 1928 onwards and made the switch from JAP to Matchless V-Twin power eight years later. Only ever made in tiny numbers, the Brough Superior Club estimate that 383 SS100s were completed between 1924 and 1940 (281 JAP vs 102 Matchless). Ever the keen competitor, George Brough ensured that his most famous creation was contesting events (often in his hands) up until 1939. Such was his desire to win that when loaned a SS100 Combination for a re-enactment of the MCC Edinburgh Trial during the 1950s he reputedly stripped and rebuilt it before tackling the first stage!According to the Brough Superior Club, just 21 SS100s were produced in 1930 including this particular example - Frame No. 1030 - which was completed during May for none other than marque founder, George Brough, to ride during the upcoming MCC Edinburgh Trial. Held over June 6th -7th, the two-day event was open to motorcars and motorcycles alike and saw competitors race from London to Edinburgh and back again via a series of demanding road and trial stages (covering the best part of 1,000 miles). A keen participant, George Brough won the Trial in 1910, 1911 and 1912 aboard his father’s machines and knew the prestige it held among the buying public. Brough Superiors in both solo and combination guises were frequent entrants up until the outbreak of World War Two. As with any SS100, Frame No. 1030 was tailored to George Brough in terms of its handlebar layout and seating to ensure motorcycle and rider were as one. The rough nature of the trial sections could well explain why it was fitted with the older-style high set exhaust pipes. The rest of the bike was bang-up-to-date with a Bentley & Draper sprung frame, ‘super heavyweight’ Sturmey Archer three-speed gearbox, Castle front forks and doubtless a slightly ‘breathed on’ JAP 986cc V-Twin engine. Appearing on the Trial with the same Works registration number - ‘HP 2122’ - that had graced the first Brough Superior (and which George Brough appended to numerous machines over the years without always feeling the need to inform the relevant authorities), Frame No. 1030 was ridden with his trademark gusto. A wonderful image of the SS100 skirting a stone wall whilst being gunned uphill was captured by the photographer Bill Brunell and has appeared in numerous publications. Acquiring its current number plate ‘JO 1170’ in August 1930, Frame No. 1030 remained a fixture in and around the Works for the next few years. Part of a winning team in the Inter Club Trial, the SS100 was also snapped on a 1930s Continental Tour somewhere in the Mosel, Freiburg region. Interestingly, Frame 1030 was back at the factory when its own number plate ‘JO 1170’ was briefly appropriated by one of the Austin Seven-engined Brough Superior BS4 motorcycles indicating that its then owner was known to George Brough or at least had ties to the company. Surviving World War Two, the SS100 is known to have belonged to R.A. Bill by 1963. Resident in the Stratford-upon-Avon Motor Museum a decade or so later, it passed to Robert Brown during 1978. Restored by acknowledged marque guru Tony Cripps in 1980 and pleasingly retaining its original JAP engine, Frame 1030 passed through the hands of renowned dealer (and collector) Bryan Verrall before joining the National Motorcycle Museum’s collection where it has been proudly displayed ever since. A reluctant sale but in a very good cause, the Museum are hopeful that they will have ‘JO 1170’ running again by auction day. Any 1930 Brough Superior SS100 is a seriously rare and special motorcycle but to have the very Works-prepared machine which George Brough used to contest that year’s gruelling MCC Edinburgh Trial is something else again!

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. Surveyed on a scale of 2 inches to 1 mile this map is widely regarded as an important land mark in large scale cartography. Brian Kentish.

This is a copperplate engraving from Britannia, Volume the First: An Illustration of the Kingdom of England and Dominion of Wales, published by John Ogilby in 1675. It depicts the continuation of the road from London to Lands End, illustrating the major roads and important locations along the way. Ogilby’s work was revolutionary in providing detailed road maps for travelers, and this map represents one of the earliest British road atlases, a pioneering work in cartography. The map features a detailed depiction of the road from London to the southwestern tip of England, highlighting towns, landmarks, and distances in a unique manner. The use of mile markers, town names, and scenic views helps convey the importance of this travel route during the 17th century. Condition: Signs of wear, with some damage to the centre folds due to the age of the map. The engraving itself is clear and detailed, with some light creases and edge wear typical of maps of this period. Size of Image: 32 x 44 cm (approximately 12.5 x 17.3 inches).

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.”
