JOAN BROTAT VILANOVA (Barcelona, 1923 - 1990).Untitled.Set of three serigraphs on paper.Edition of 25 copies.Signed and justified.Slight damp stains.Measurements: 38 x 41 cm (total of the largest).Joan Brotat studied at the School of Arts and Crafts and at the Ateneo Obrero in Barcelona. He held his first exhibition on the initiative of Ángel Marsà, who invited him to take part in his Cycle of Experimental Art in 1950. That same year he made his individual debut at the El Jardín gallery in Barcelona. From then on his work could be seen frequently at the Salones de Mayo and Octubre in Barcelona, and finally he made the international leap, holding more than a hundred exhibitions all over the world. After an initial period characterised by a modernist-influenced language and conventional subject matter, his style evolved towards a primitivism that made him very famous. Brotat adopted the viewpoint of the old Catalan Romanesque painters to the narration of contemporary life, bringing an apparent naivety to his compositions that earned him notable success. During these years he also experimented with informalism, collage and gestural art within the Dau al Set group. In the 1960s, when he returned to figurative art, his style became consolidated, characterised by figures with large, melancholic faces, the application of colours in flat patches and the absence of perspective in his compositions. His awards include the Grand Prize of the Mediterranean Countries of Alexandria (1961), the Rafael Zabaleta gold medal and the City of Tarrasa Prize, among others. Brotat is represented at the CDAN of the Beulas Foundation in Huesca, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, the Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao, the Museums of Modern Art in Madrid and Alexandria and the Municipal Museum in Valls.

MATTEO MAURO, (Catania, Sicily, 1992)."She", 2020.Resin sculpture.Finished with gold and white satin varnish.Limited edition of 190/200.The work will be available approximately 15 days after payment has been made.Dimensions: 25 x 10 x 10 cm.Matteo Mauro observes and explores the world with the eyes of an artist. He looks for new solutions and embraces old ones in his infinite mediation between reality and dreams. His artistic process mixes analogue and digital tools to generate artworks with a distinctly contemporary sensibility, which critics have deemed hyper-contemporary. Matteo Mauro's studio creates a wide range of artworks, including sculptures, paintings, video art, installations and augmented reality pieces.The artist was born in Sicily, but has lived and travelled in many countries. He spent more than a decade in London, where he first established his artistic practice and continues to live today. Mauro has worked and studied with several influential designers, including Ron Arad and Isaie Bloch, and has taught Digital Communication at London's LSBU and UCL universities.Mauro has received numerous awards for his work, including the Master of Art 2018 and the European Excellence of Arts and International Van Gogh Prize, awarded by Roy Dalí, son of Salvador Dalí.His pieces have been exhibited in several museums and galleries, including the Royal Academy of Arts, the Museo Marte, the Museo della Fabbrica, Le Salon des Indépendants at the Grand Palais in Paris, the Ing-Creatives in Dubai, the Songyang Museum Contemporary Art, the Fondazione Museo Crocetti, while some exhibitions are scheduled at the Datong Art Museum and the MACAM Modern and Contemporary Art Museum in the near future.However, Matteo Mauro does not limit himself to painting or creating artworks, but is also the author of the worldwide distributed book Inscripciones Micromegálicas. Matteo Mauro's studio is currently located in Catania, Italy.
DAMIEN HIRST (Bristol, UK, 1965)."Ethidium Bromide Aqueous Solution" 2005.Aquatint on 350 gr. Hahnemühle paper.Limited edition of 65.Signed in pencil in the lower margin, numbered on the back.Measurements: 118 x 99 cm; 127 x 107 cm (frame).The world of pharmaceuticals is of great importance in Damien Hirst's imaginary. In different iconic series that the artist has been developing over the decades (under the headings "Spot Paintings" and "Spin Paintings"), the coloured dots symbolise therapeutic and spiritual values with which the artist relates art and science. Ethidium Bromide Aqueous Solution" is part of this project of Colour Spots initiated at the end of the eighties. The coloured dots are aligned according to mathematical calculations of distances between them, of chromatic combination, thickness, etc. Round like healing pills or sweets, they are accompanied by scientific titles. Ethidium bromide is the name of a synthetic purple dye used in medicine.Damien Hirst argues that art is classless. He trained at Leeds University while combining his studies with a job at the local mortuary, which he later left to move to London. During this time he was working in construction while also applying to various art schools such as St Martins, and the Welsh College. He was eventually accepted at Golsdmiths College, which at the time, due to the economic recession in England, was a school that attracted bright students and creative tutors. While studying, Hirst financed his expenses by working on telephone surveys, a direct cause of his ability to fake any emotion over the phone. During his studies he also worked at McDonald's, and part-time at the Anthony D'Ofray gallery, where he learned the mechanics of the art market. Already in his second year, Hirst took on the role of artist and curator, and managed to stage an exhibition that would change the course of British art, his first solo exhibition at the age of 26. Four years later, in 1995, he won his second Turner Prize nomination for Mother and Child. At the age of 32, the Larry Gagosian Gallery offered him a major retrospective, after which he declared that there was nowhere left for him to exhibit, he had done it all and too quickly. As a result, he was soon dubbed Hooligan Genius by the media. Although he became a millionaire at the age of 40, Hirst's hypersensitivity became suspect: wrapped in an aura of romanticism, he made revolutionising the art world look easy. On several occasions he has acknowledged his desire to be famous and in the face of criticism he has defended himself with phrases such as "they couldn't admit to themselves that they wanted to be famous and resented not being famous" or "I think my desire was to be more famous than rich, I think the desire to create art and be famous is like the desire to live forever with two obsessions: death and celebrity".
2017 Aston Martin DB9 GT Volante Registration no. not registered Chassis no. SCFFDAFM3HGB17559•Historic last-of-the-line model•Built to Swiss specifications•Believed one owner from new•Offered from storage•Circa 100km on the odometerFootnotes:'The Aston Martin DB9 is a thoroughbred sports car with GT levels of comfort and refinement. Combining Aston Martin's unique character with an uncompromising design philosophy, the DB9 was borne out of a synthesis of traditional craftsmanship, high-tech manufacturing, modern components and use of the finest materials.' - Aston Martin.Launched in 2003 as successor to the DB7, the DB9 was the first model to be built at Aston Martin's new factory at Gaydon, Warwickshire. Like its predecessor, the DB9 was styled by Ian Callum, with finishing touches applied by Henrik Fisker. State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques were employed in making the aluminium/composite body, which was robotically assembled using a combination of self-piercing rivets and adhesive. Although some 25% lighter than that of the DB7, this advanced bodyshell possesses double the structural stiffness. The DB9 was powered by a development of the 5.9-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine found in the DB7 Vantage producing 470bhp, an output sufficient to propel the aerodynamic coupé to a top speed of 306km/h (190mph) with 60mph attainable from a standing start in a neck-snapping 4.8 seconds. The aluminium engine was mounted as far back as possible in the chassis, while the transmission/final drive was positioned ahead of the rear axle, resulting in 85% of the car's mass being sited between the axles and a perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution. Transmission options were a six-speed manual or six-speed 'Touchtronic 2' semi-automatic.Inside the DB9 one finds the typically elegant, luxurious and supremely comfortable hand crafted interior traditionally associated with Aston Martin, featuring primarily wood and leather trim as well as the latest in modern technology, subtly deployed. Although scheduled for a slightly higher production level than previous Aston Martins, the DB9 remained an exclusive product affordable only by a privileged few. Its price at launch was £111,000, with the Volante some £14,000 more. After a dozen-or-so years in production, the DB9 bowed out with its final edition: the DB9 GT. Introduced in 2015, the GT had a power output of 540bhp and maximum torque of 457lb/ft; acceleration times improved marginally while the DB9's top speed remained unchanged. Production ceased in 2016.Believed owned from new by the current vendor, this DB9 GT Volante was built for the Swiss market and left the factory finished in Cumberland Grey with Bitter Chocolate interior trim. Kept in storage, the Aston comes with a scan of an old Middle-Eastern registration document and will require re-commissioning before further use.Please note that if this vehicle is to stay in the UK, it will be subject to Import VAT at the standard rate of 20% and Import Duty at 10% (plus VAT) on the hammer price.

2009 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Coupé Registration no. EU09 NUX Chassis no. ZAR92000000044574•Very rare yellow exterior colour•Ordered with numerous rare and desirable options•Extensive service history•Circa 6,200 miles from newFootnotes:First seen in 'concept car' form at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2003, the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione revived a famous name from the Italian company's illustrious past when it entered production in 2006. The original 8C (eight-cylinder) Alfa engine had been designed in 1931 by the legendary engineer Vittorio Jano and was used to power Alfa Romeo's most prestigious road models, as well as its sports-racing and Grand Prix cars, until the decade's end. Styled by Wolfgang Egger, the modern-day 8C was received with universal acclaim, its gorgeous looks recalling those of Carrozzeria Touring's aerodynamic Alfa sports-racers of the late 1930s, while from the side there was more than a hint of Zagato's original Giulia TZ. Within a couple of weeks, orders had been received for well over 1,000 cars, despite a UK price tag of £111,000. Alfa, though, stuck by the decision to build only 500 examples of the 8C Competizione coupé but later changed its collective mind and made a further 500 Spider roadsters, making a combined total for both types of 1,000 cars.The genesis of the 8C graphically illustrates the close links between Italy's premier marques: Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Maserati, all of whom are owned by FIAT. Designed at Alfa Centro Stile in Arese, the 8C used a development of the Maserati Quattroporte double-wishbone suspension (albeit on a shorter-wheelbase chassis) and is powered by a Ferrari-built V8 engine, with final assembly taking place at the Maserati factory in Modena. An enlarged version of that found in the Maserati Quattroporte and GranTurismo, the 4.7-litre V8 produces 450bhp at 7,000rpm and drives via a six-speed, semi-automatic, paddle shift gearbox, which is located immediately ahead of the rear axle in the interests of mass centralisation. The Pirelli P Zero tyres were specially developed for the 20' alloy wheels. As is the norm with 21st Century supercars, the 8C also features switchable performance modes.The main chassis and its engine/gearbox/suspension sub-frames are steel, with carbon fibre used for the passenger cell and external body panels. Carbon fibre and aluminium both feature in the stylish interior, which is equipped with lightweight, leather-trimmed seats by Poltrona Frau of Turin. Alfa Red or black were the standard exterior colours and there were also various options, some at extra cost. No one buys an Alfa Romeo, and certainly not one as special as the 8C, without being interested in its performance potential. Alfa claimed a 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed of around 290km/h (181mph) despite the fact that an 8C had reached 186mph during testing. It is hard to imagine that any of the fortunate 1,000 customers was at all dissatisfied. One of only a believed handful to leave the factory finished in yellow, the stunning Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione we offer comes with extensive service history: five stamps in the book, the first dated 2012 and the last dated November 2020 at 5,826 miles (the current odometer reading is circa 6,200 miles). The car also comes with its original order form and list of options. Noteworthy features include five-spoke 20' racing alloy wheels; carbon steering kit; Alcantara-trimmed ceiling and centre console; Bose hi-fi system; iPod connection; and satellite navigation. The following factory-supplied accessories are included in the sale: made to measure luggage; floor mats; vehicle cover; battery charge maintainer; first aid kit; fire extinguisher; and a car care kit. The bill for options, accessories and an Alfa Romeo Experience Day totalled over £34,000. A rare opportunity to acquire a limited edition Alfa Romeo supercar that is likely to become increasingly collectible.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1926 Bentley 3-Litre Speed Model Tourer Registration no. BM 8287 Chassis no. PH1475 Engine no. LT1586•Registration 'BM 8287' originally on the first ever Bentley, 'EXP 1'•Originally a saloon by Brainsby's of Peterborough•Last re-bodied in the 1960s•Present family ownership since circa 1972•Well documented ownership history from new•Hay Report availableFootnotes:With characteristic humility 'W O' was constantly amazed by the enthusiasm of later generations for the products of Bentley Motors Limited, and it is testimony to the soundness of his engineering design skills that so many of his products have survived. From the humblest of beginnings in a mews garage off Baker Street, London in 1919 the Bentley rapidly achieved fame as an exciting fast touring car, well able to compete with the best of European and American sports cars in the tough world of motor sport in the 1920s. Bentley's domination at Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930 is legendary, and one can only admire the Herculean efforts of such giants as Woolf Barnato, Jack Dunfee, Tim Birkin and Sammy Davis, consistently wrestling the British Racing Green sports cars to victory. W O Bentley proudly unveiled the new 3-litre car bearing his name on Stand 126 at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototype engine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier. Bentley's four-cylinder 'fixed head' engine incorporated a single overhead camshaft, four-valves per cylinder and a bore/stroke of 80x149mm. Twin ML magnetos provided the ignition and power was transmitted via a four-speed gearbox with right-hand change. The pressed-steel chassis started off with a wheelbase of 9' 9½' then adopted dimensions of 10' 10' ('Standard Long') in 1923, the shorter frame being reserved for the TT Replica and subsequent Speed Model. Rear wheel brakes only were employed up to 1924 when four-wheel Perrot-type brakes were introduced.In only mildly developed form, this was the model that was to become a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery, has become the archetypal Vintage sports car. Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleys finished second, fourth, and fifth to take the Team Prize, led to the introduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model) on the existing 9' 9½' wheelbase, short standard chassis. Identified by the Red Label on its radiator, the Speed Model differed by having twin SU 'sloper' carburettors, a higher compression ratio, different camshaft and the close-ratio A-type gearbox, the latter being standard equipment prior to 1927 when the C-type 'box was adopted. These engine changes increased maximum power from the standard 70 to 80bhp and raised top speed to an impressive 90mph. Other enhancements included the larger (11-gallon) fuel tank and (usually) André Hartford shock absorbers. Bentley made approximately 1,600 3-Litre models, the majority of which was bodied by Vanden Plas with either open tourer or saloon coachwork.The accompanying illustrated report, compiled by leading marque authority, Dr Clare Hay, and incorporating copies of factory records, reveals that chassis number 'PH1475' was built as a 1926 model 3-Litre on the 9' 9½' wheelbase chassis with the Speed Model specification engine. An AT rev counter was the only departure from standard specification. The Service Record notes various alterations made later and a change of chassis frame and front axle in May 1929, the reconditioned frame fitted being that from chassis '20'. As recorded in the Service Record, the original engine is numbered 'SR1404' and is a 1926 specification unit with one-piece sump, twin SU G5 'sloper' carburettors, and twin ML magnetos. The Service Record also notes a new cylinder block with SU HVG5 vertical carburettors fitted in 1933. 'PH1475' was originally bodied as a saloon by Brainsby's of Peterborough, as depicted in The Autocar edition of 30th July 1926. The registration allocated was 'WU 3989', a West Yorkshire number, and the sale was probably handled by Bassett Motors Ltd of Doncaster through Central Garage Ltd of Bradford, Bentley's Yorkshire agents. The Bentley was first owned by one J Wightman Jnr of Louth, Lincolnshire, who was followed in January 1927 by a Tom Clayton of Bradford. Clayton had a low-ratio final drive fitted together with a double silencer system, and had the car re-bodied as a Weymann saloon by Albany Carriage Co. By April 1930 'PH1475' belonged to a P T Dines of Smithfield, London. In November 1933 the chassis and engine were overhauled and modernised. It is likely that 'PH1475' belonged to Bentley Motors (1931) Ltd's Service Department, which bought in and reconditioned old Bentleys for resale, often re-bodying them, in this with a new drophead coupé body by Corsica, a North London coachbuilder with close links to the Service Department. The chassis was rebuilt to 1928 specification with a new cylinder block with vertical SU carburettors; 5.50x20' wheels; low geared steering; a C-type gearbox; and a Spicer propshaft. Comprehensively updated, the car was sold to a J H Turner of Sevenoaks, Kent. No records exist for the war years. The next recorded owners are F R Cowell (July 1947), D N Stevens (1958) and R Gervais Ford (1961). Gervais Ford removed the body and sold the chassis to John Brogden, who fitted a new Vanden Plas-style four-seater tourer body with blade wings (see BDC Review, October 1968). In 1966 Brogden sold the Bentley to Ann Knights and it was subsequently owned by R E Roberts (1970) and Michael A Ross (1971). By this time the original engine 'SR1404' had been removed and a replacement engine ('LT1586') installed. Ross re-registered the car as 'BM 8287' (the registration from chassis '20') and claimed that identity. (The registration 'BM 8287' is also historically significant as being that originally assigned to the very first Bentley motor car of 1919, chassis 'EXP 1'.)Dr Hay: 'By continuous history this car is PH1475 and not chassis 20. It should be appreciated that Bentley Motors regarded the chassis frame as a service replacement item and that the identity follows the history of the car and not any component part.' The current vendor's father bought 'BM 8287' circa 1972 to compliment his 4½-Litre Bentley ('TY 4015') and the car has been enjoyed by three generations of the family for the last 50 years. Its usage has included the BDC Anniversary trips to Le Mans and Aubusson in 1980 and 1984, both of which the vendor attended, and the same trip in 1993 when the family took both 'TY 4015' and 'BM 8287' accompanied by Colin Brown, who had worked at Hofmann & Mountfort of Henley and carried out general maintenance to both cars. 'BM 8278' has been used regularly by the family, frequently attending VSCC and BDC race meetings and taking part in the Bentley Parade at BDC Silverstone. The car also featured in an episode of Midsomer Murders and there are pictures online of it in the garage in The Da Vinci Code (2006) but it seems that scene did not make the final edit. Prior to sale, BM 8287 has been serviced and lightly recommissioned by marque specialist Ewen Getley of Kingsbury Racing. Works carried out included the fitment of new magnetos, replacement of the gearbox oil and drain plug, inspection of the rear axle including new oil and repacking of the bearings. The brakes were checked and adjusted and the engine timing was checked. A new battery was also fitted along with new mounting bolts.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1971 Ferrari Dino 246 GT Coupé Registration no. LYX 326K Chassis no. 02492 Engine no. 8233 – N/I 1038•Iconic V6-engined Dino•UK-delivered right-hand drive model•Matching chassis and engine numbers•Professional bare-metal restoration in the 2000s•Extensive history fileFootnotes:'It is a thrill to drive a car like the Dino, one whose capabilities are far beyond what even an expert driver can use in most real-world motoring, and that is the Dino's reason for being. The real joy of a good mid-engined car is in its handling and braking and the Dino shone as we expected it to. The steering is quick without being super quick, and it transmits by what seems a carefully planned amount of feedback exactly what is going on at the tyres. Thanks to the layout's low polar moment of inertia the car responds instantly to it. The Dino's cornering limits are very high... ' – Road & Track. It was the need for a production-based engine for the new Formula 2 that had prompted the introduction of a 'junior' Ferrari, the Dino 206 GT, at the Turin Motor Show in 1967. The latest in a line of Dino V6 'quad-cam' engines stretching back to the late 1950s, the new unit proved as successful on the racetrack as in the showroom, Derek Bell and Ernesto Brambilla both winning races in the European Championship, while Andrea de Adamich triumphed in the 1968 Argentine Temporada series. Building on experienced gained with its successful limited-edition Dino 206S sports-racer of 1966, Ferrari retained the racer's mid-engined layout for the road car but installed the power unit transversely rather than longitudinally. A compact, aluminium-bodied coupé of striking appearance, the Pininfarina-styled Dino - named after Enzo Ferrari's late son Alfredino Ferrari and intended as the first of a separate but related marque - was powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cam V6 driving via an in-unit five-speed transaxle. The motor's 180 brake horsepower was good enough to propel the lightweight, aerodynamically efficient Dino to 142mph, and while there were few complaints about the car's performance, the high cost enforced by its aluminium construction hindered sales. A 2.4-litre version on a longer wheelbase - the 246 GT - replaced the original Dino 206 in late 1969. Built by Scaglietti, the body was now steel and the cylinder block cast-iron rather than aluminium, but the bigger engine's increased power - 195bhp at 7,600rpm - adequately compensated for the weight gain. A Targa-top version, the 246 GTS, followed in 1972. The Dino 246 was built in three series: 'L', 'M' and 'E', these designations reflecting detail changes in the specification. The final 'E' series incorporated all the changes made to its predecessors together with further improvements to the engine and gearbox and numerous other more minor details. While not quite as fast in a straight line as its larger V12-engined stablemates, the nimble Dino was capable of showing almost anything a clean pair of heels over twisty going. Truly a driver's car par excellence and still highly regarded today. One of the final 'E-Series' cars, the beautiful Dino offered here is a right-hand drive, matching-numbers example built for the UK market. A letter on file from Mr Tony Willis of The Maranello Concessionaires Archive confirms that the car was originally finished in Rosso Chiaro with black interior trim and electric windows. First owner Mr John Goodyear took delivery in October 1971 and the car was registered as 'MBL 1'. The history file is extensive and contains a photographic record of a professional bare-metal restoration carried out in the 2000s together with assorted correspondence, notably between the first owner and Maranello Concessionaires in 1971, numerous bills, and a quantity of expired MoT certificates. Bell Sport & Classic, SB Race Engineering and GTO Engineering have looked after the Dino in recent years; it wants for nothing and is presented in fantastic condition.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
2001 Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 SE Coupé Registration no. not registered Chassis no. ZA9DE01A01LA12809•One owner from new •Built to Gulf States specification•One of very few Special Edition cars•Circa 50,000km recorded on the odometer•Requires re-commissioningFootnotes:After 17 years in production, the legendary Countach was replaced by the Diablo, which on its arrival was the fastest, most advanced and most expensive Lamborghini ever built. First exhibited publicly at Monaco in January 1990, the Diablo improved on its illustrious predecessor in every way, setting a new benchmark in supercar design. Nobody can have been surprised to learn that it had been styled by Marcello Gandini, the man responsible for the Lamborghini Miura and Countach, for the family resemblance was obvious. The use of carbon-fibre composite panels, first seen in the Countach Evoluzione model, was extended in the Diablo, which also featured revised suspension capable of accommodating the envisaged future developments of four-wheel drive and active suspension. Stretched to 5.7 litres for the Diablo, Lamborghini's 48-valve V12 engine gained fuel injection for the first time, producing its maximum of 492bhp at 7,000rpm.With more power and a lower drag coefficient than the Countach, the Diablo easily eclipsed its forebear, exceeding 200mph (322km/h) on test. More importantly, its acceleration and top speed figures were marginally better than those of the Ferrari F40. The Diablo though, was not a limited edition model like the latter but a series production car with a luxuriously appointed interior reflecting its designers' intention to produce a civilised Gran Turismo as suited to city streets and motorways as the racetrack. Nevertheless, the Diablo was still one of the world's most expensive cars. Four-wheel drive Diablo VT and Targa-style open roadster versions soon followed. When Lamborghini was purchased by Audi in 1998, the Diablo was extensively reworked, with fixed headlamps, an increase in engine size to 6.0 litres and numerous changes under the skin.In 2001, at the Geneva motor show, Lamborghini announced the production of a final run of 40 cars (it is rumoured 42 were built). These SE (Special Edition) versions of the already massively upgraded VT 6.0 were available in Oro Elios or Marrone Eklipsis, to represent sunrise and sunset, and featured mechanical upgrades including magnesium intake manifolds. These are indeed the most sought after of Diablo editions.The SE we offer is number 05 of the limited production run, it was built to Gulf States specification and purchased new by the current owner in November 2001. The car was ordered new in the 'sunrise' specification of Oro Elios with Marrone trim. Stored for some time, the car will require re-commissioning before returning to the road.

This lot contains a sealed 'fourth print' 'Blue wing Charizard' (released primarily in the UK) Base Set Booster Box which includes 36 booster packs, each with 11 cards, for a total of 396 cards. The cards inside these boxes have the copyright years as 1999-2000 unlike the unlimited version which only has the year 1999. Another difference are the colours, these fourth printing cards have a lighter shade when compared to the unlimited edition. The box is still factory sealed so it's very likely the cards inside are all Near Mint to Gem Mint. While the printing of these cards are all from the unlimited print run this type of box hardly ever comes to market due to having a smaller print run than regular unlimited boxes. '4th print' boxes are highly collectable with this being the first example on the UK market this year. The box is in excellent condition with only the slightest of dings to the bottom right hand side.
