South Africa 1879, awarded to 36/1434 Pte. J. Hurley, 1/13th Foot regiment, Queens South Africa with 1878-9 clasp, together with two brass badges, mounted. Provenance; purchased by the vendors father in the 1970's. Prior to the outbreak of the Zulu War, the 1st Battalion, 13th Prince Albert's Light Infantry, was engaged in operations against Sekukuni on the Transvaal border but, as war became imminent, it was moved south and formed part of Wood's Column, with which it remained throughout all operations. On 2 January 1879 the Column left Utrecht and reached the Blood River two days later. Having left two companies of men under Major Leet at the fortified outpost of Balte's Spruit, the Column crossed into enemy territory and constructed a fort at Tinta's Drift on the White Umvolosi; two further companies were left to garrison under Major Moysey, and the Battalion then moved on towards Zunguin Nek. It was here that the enemy was met in force on the 24th and defeated with loss. On 27 March a patrol of mounted men and natives were sent out towards Zlobane, the Native Irregulars under the command of Major Leet; such was the latter's gallantry in the retreat which ensued after the encounter with the enemy that he was awarded the Victoria Cross and promoted Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel. At the Battle of Kambula the 13th gallantly checked the enemy at the right rear of the laager. According to The South African Campaign of 1879, 'Captains Evans and Fowne's companies were posted in Leet's redoubt, the fire from which made great havoc throughout the engagement. When the attack slackened, two companies of the 13th, under Captains Thurlow and Waddy, moving to the right front of the cattle laager, did great execution amongst the retreating Zulus, who were closely followed up and cut to pieces by the Mounted Corps.' During this engagement, two officers were severely wounded, six men of the regiment were killed and nineteen more were wounded. Not long after, at the Battle of Ulundi, the 13th occupied the right of the square, within 30 yards of which numbers of the enemy's dead were subsequently found. As before, casualties were significant, with Lieutenant Pardoe killed, together with two ranks, and eleven more wounded. After a wet and trying march, the Battalion arrived at Durban and embarked for England aboard H.M.S. Euphrates, arriving home on 18 September, after 4 years and 9 months of service in South Africa. 1033 Medals were issued to the 1/13th Regiment, 688 of them with the '1878-9' clasp.

1928 Sunbeam Model 8, 350 cc. Registration number PP 7991. Frame number C1391. Engine number 273/23250. Sunbeam had begun experimenting with overhead valves on their factory racers in the early 1920s and these duly appeared on production models in 1924. The new 500 roadster was known as the Model 9 while its race bike counterpart, which could top 90mph, was accordingly designated the Model 90. The 350cc versions were the Model 8 and Model 80 respectively. The John Greenwood design was advanced for its day, with a specification which included a crankshaft supported by three ball-bearings, dry-sump lubrication, and primary drive enclosed in a cast alloy chain case. Power was transmitted by single-row chain to a three-speed, 'cross-over drive' gearbox with offside power takeoff. The overhead-valve models' frame and cycle parts, which had much in common with those of Sunbeam's larger side-valve models, evolved slowly. Sunbeam missed the industry's virtually wholesale switch from flat-tank to saddle-tank frames for the 1928 season, and a saddle-tank version of the Models 8 and 9 did not appear until September of that year. Changes to the overhead-valve engine were confined mainly to its top-end. The early flat-tankers featured a straight-ahead exhaust port, a peculiarity which necessitated the adoption of a bifurcated down-tube. Later on in the 1920s Sunbeam followed the then-fashionable trend to twin-port 'heads before reverting to a single-port design. M9's didn’t get the two port head until 1929, single port heads were an option right through to 1931, then it was two-port only through to 1935. Pushrod enclosure had arrived by 1930 to be followed a couple of years later by partial enclosure of the rocker gear. PP is a late flat tank example before the change to saddle tank and has Model 1 crank cases fitted. Registered with the DVLA in 1978, it was owned by Ian Young of Gloucester in 2012 before selling it to our vendors father in 2013. An older restoration it is presented in oily rag condition. Sold with the V5C. Please note that this Sunbeam was sold by Bonhams in April 2012 http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19766/lot/325/

1947 Triumph 1800 Roadster, 1776 cc. Registration number WXG 903 (non transferable). Chassis number TRD 1170. Engine number TRD 1170.

1954 Morris Minor, 1098cc. Registration number OUE 657. Chassis number FAJ-11/244273. Engine number IOMA-U-H 262789 (please note this has not been changed on the V5C). The post-war Morris Minor, one of Alec Issigonis’s first masterpieces, became nearly as iconic during its 23 years of production as its ostensible successor and sister icon, the Mini. Released in 1948, it used unitary construction and torsion bar front suspension, although some other novel features, like a flat four engine, never reached production. Exports to the United States began in 1949, which required raising the headlamps from their position in the grille in order to meet local legislation. This change was soon adopted across the board. Initially the line included both two- and four-door saloons, and a jaunty little tourer which commanded about a third of the market. After Morris merged with Austin to form the British Motor Corporation (BMC), a Series II Minor was introduced in 1952 with the 803 cc overhead valve Austin A-series engine from the A30. A ‘Traveller’ estate car, a van and a pickup were introduced at this time, built on a separate chassis frame. OUE has had only two owners since 1978, one being Peter Roger of Doncaster who bought it on the 8th December 1978 from Bromsgrove Street Motors of Birmingham for £395, receipt on file. In 1981 it underwent a large restoration that cost £1,330.88 at the Morris Minor Centre of Bath. Our vendor, a neighbour, bought it from him in 1990 and has garaged it ever since. Used occasionally it has lead a gentle life and at some point in his ownership the engine was upgraded to the current 1098cc version. Well maintained it is now being sold due to lack of use. Unused for the last three years, it started with ease and was driven the 20 miles to the saleroom. Sold with the V5C, V5, 1978 and 1981 receipts, this Minor appears to be a solid example that also has a rare heater fitted.
