Ater two busy viewing days and some strong bidding in the run up to sale day, the David Ambler sale conducted by Thimbleby & Shorland was sure to see some serious money changing hands.
Star of the sale had to be lot 30 the Tangye patent oil engine bringing a very respectable £11,600. Followed by lot 7 the 6hp Hornsby portable oil engine realising £9,100
Sadly many of the lots were a little worse for wear which no doubt hurt the final sales prices.
(lot 1) IHC vertical 2hp which had suffered serious frost damage with a large crack in the water jacket.
(lot 23) Blackstone portable which had suffered serious frost damage in recent years with a large crack running the full length of the cylinder.
(lot 42) Associated 6 Mule Team which had been run with a loose flywheel on the pulley side, Resulting in a mangled keyway/flywheel hub.
There were also a few smaller lots which should really have been sold with their retrospective engines, hopefully the buyer of the rightfull engines also managed to grab the smaller lots.
Namely:
(lot 112) 2 Drake & Gorham limited tin signs, Belonging to lot 41
(lot 214) Jacking chocks, Which were actually the original wheel chocks for lot 7 along with the original Hornsby wooden box.
