Two exceptional collections of memorabilia have been entered to Dorset Vintage and Classic Auctions’ Autumn Sale, which will be held on Thursday 22nd September.

An immaculate collection of 1950’s rally badges will be offered at the sale; these include six for the Monte Carlo Rallye, four from the Tulpen Rallye, one for the RAC Rally of Great Britain and four lapel badges from the same era, which mark the Rallye des Alpes, the Paris - Monte Carlo Rallye, MCRBCC and the Tulpen Rallye. Most are boxed and all are in superb condition.

For collectors of railwayana, DVCA have consigned a large quantity of (mostly boxed) Hornby model engines, coaches, wagons and track assembly, dating from the Seventies and Eighties, in fine condition. Most notable trains include an LNER ‘Flying Scotsman’ with Tender, an LMS Coronation Class ‘Duchess of Sutherland’ with Tender and a BR ‘Oliver Cromwell’ with Tender.

Continuing with the Railway theme, a well-preserved first edition of The Railway Children, by E Nesbit, will also be offered at the sale.
