E-mail details of your lots

Please provide details of your lots, with your reserve price and photos if you have them.  Your items will be posted below.
(Since the auction will be limited to the one hour lunch break at Pre-War Prescott, we may need to give priority to quality lots with reasonable reserves.)
Vintage spares and automobilia are welcome and we can also accept limited entries of suitable pre-war motor cars.
Outright donation of quality items would also be most welcome, and purchasers of such items will be able to Gift Aid their payments if eligible.
