She called these her 'Lorry-landscapes'. This new theme reflected and celebrated the optimistic and regenerative forces operating across post-war Britain at the time. It also provided her with a readymade contemporary subject and one that, hitherto, had been largely unexplored – least of all by a female painter. Lorries and ladders became her new emblematic objects, readily located within the industrial landscape. With these she attempted to contextualise the figure within a modern urban setting, without having to resort to accepted pictorial narratives. Clough's interest in workmen, who are habitually represented as generic types, rather than individuals, lies in their direct relationship to their workplace and the accoutrements and gear of their trade. Lorry with Ladder circa 1953 is closely related to several other oil paintings which Clough made around this time (see Lorry Driver in Cab, circa 1950-3; Sleeping Lorry Driver, 1951; Lorry with Ladder I, circa 1952 and Lorry Driver, 1952). Framed by his vehicle's window, the cloth-capped lorry driver is formally conceived as part of his place of work. Bent metal bars, tools tied with rope, planks of wood and distant urban buildings are piled perilously high above his cab. While the same formal, semi-abstracted language is used to unite both the figure and the objects he's transporting, Clough is, perhaps, also commenting on the de-personalising nature of the industrial world and the encroaching urban environment. The restricted palette of creams, muted ochres and neutral tones helps unify the disparate compositional elements while simultaneously evoking the atmospheric grime of the loading yards. The chromatic highlight, provided by the driver's orange jacket, is typical of Clough's use of colour. Its richness gently emphasises the lorry driver's presence while fixing him firmly within the context of his working environment.The present work boasts illustrious institutional provenance, having previously belonged to The Toledo Museum of Art. A prime and large example from this important period of Clough's output, of a quality rarely seen on the market, the work has been selected by curators at both the Tate and Pallant House for surveys of Cloughs career.We are grateful to Gerard Hastings for compiling this catalogue entry.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 1
Registration No: JV 8336 Chassis No: GYK 63 MOT: ExemptPresented in 'garage find' condition having not been seen publicly since the 1970sUnderstood to be in exceptionally well preserved original orderPreviously part of the James H. Farr collectionBelieved to be the sole surviving example supplied with a body coachbuilt by Union Motor Company LtdUnveiled in 1922, the 20hp was a second string to the Rolls-Royce bow – a shorter, more economical sibling to the Silver Ghost which broadened the marque’s reach to span both the very rich and seriously wealthy. Instantly distinguished by its horizontal radiator shutters, the newcomer was constructed around a ladder-frame chassis of 129 inch wheelbase. Power came from a 3,127cc straight-six, OHV monobloc engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox. Suspension was by semi-elliptic leaf springs all-round. Braking was initially on the rear wheels alone, while steering was by worm and nut. Progressively updated to feature a four-speed gearbox and servo-assisted all-wheel braking, the ‘baby’ Rolls remained in production until 1929, by when some 2,885 examples had vacated the company’s Derby factory. Lighter and more responsive than the Silver Ghost, the 20hp was capable of exceeding 60mph.According to copies of the Rolls Royce chassis cards that are on file, chassis GYK 63 was ordered on 4th September 1926 and delivered to Rootes Limited of Devonshire House Piccadilly on 13th October. The order form states that Rootes were providing their own coachwork and the first private owner was to be Major E.J Burt of 18 Grosvenor Street, Mayfair. According to a letter on file from the RREC, the body Rootes chose for the car was one of only two fabric bodies crafted by the Union Motor Car Company of Debigh Street, Battersea to have been fitted to a Rolls Royce, and it is understood that GYK 63 is the sole survivor. GYK 63 was registered as 'JV 8336' in January 1927 when delivered which is pleasingly retained on the car to this day. Little is known of the history of the car from Major Burt's ownership until around the 1960s, when it was acquired by James H Farr for his private museum in Scotland. The car resided in the museum until the mid 1970s, when the collection was dispersed. Purchased by the current owner along with the 1908 Cadillac in this auction, the car was re-registered with the DVLA and used up until 1997 when it was placed into dry storage. An estimate on file suggests that the interior was retrimmed in 1989. Upon inspection, our impresson was of a surprisingly sound car with its unique fabric body having been preserved remarkably well. The 20hp is sold as a non-runner and we do not believe it has been fired into life for many a year, however, turning the crank handle shows that the engine is free. Sold requiring recommissioning or restoration, 'JV 8336' is surely deserving of a place in another collection.

Registration No: P522 NOE Chassis No: SA94418004D09834 MOT: June 2025Finished in Indigo Blue complemented to a Tan interior1 owner & just c.2,080 miles from newOffered with original order form, handbook and sales brochureStill retaining the factory chalk marks on the hoodThe Morgan 4/4 was in production for an amazing eighty-three years (1936-2019), a fact that earned both manufacturer and model a place in the Guinness Book of Records. The Malvern Company’s first four-wheeled / four-cylindered design (hence the name), it stayed true to the same tried and tested formula for generations. Unveiled in 1993, the Morgan 4/4 1800 was faster, cleaner and more frugal than many of its predecessors. Based around a box-section ladder-frame chassis equipped with independent 'sliding pillar' front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc / drum hydraulic brakes, the aluminium over ash construction of its bodywork contributed towards a commendably low kerb weight (circa 868kg). Embracing the marque tradition of using proprietary running gear, the newcomer was powered by a Ford-sourced 1796cc four-cylinder ‘Zetec’ engine (complete with fuel-injection and double-overhead camshafts) allied to five-speed manual transmission. Impractical yet beguiling, the 4/4 1800 sported a basic interior, minimal luggage space and potentially argumentative hood offset by a singularly involving driving experience and vivid acceleration.Finished in Indigo Blue complemented to a Tan interior, the 4/4 is a one owner example with just c.2,080 miles from new and still retaining factory chalk marks on the hood. The vendor had to wait nearly a decade for the Ford powered Morgan once the order form had been submitted. Offered with that original order form through Mike Duncan Morgan agents, it is evident that 'P522 NOE' was ordered in Indigo Blue with Stone trim piped with Blue, featuring Blue carpet with Stone piping and a walnut dashboard; the vendor collected the car from the factory. Accompanied by a collection of old MOT paperwork, the aforementioned original order form, handbook and sales brochure, it is offered with the current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: YY 890 Chassis No: S10207 MOT: ExemptRare and desirable factory-bodied T5 TourerExtensive history file dating back to 1949Treated to overhauls of its engine, gearbox, clutch, radiator and instruments during the current ownershipPreviously valued at £70,000Appealing 'knocked back' patina"Silence and smoothness of running have been combined with performance in the new 16/80 Lagonda to an extent not hitherto achieved in any of these very fine cars ..... The new machine is a delight on the open road for its acceleration, its road-holding and cornering" (Autocar, September 1932)Introduced in August 1932, the 16/80 S-Type Special Six was aimed at the moderate horsepower, six-cylinder sportscar market as typified by Alfa Romeo's 6C 1750. Based on the chassis of its 2-litre 'Continental' forbear, the new Lagonda model employed Crossley's proprietary 1991cc, straight-six OHV engine in a well-balanced, leaf-sprung, ladder-framed chassis. Equipped with all-round drum brakes, the 16/80 (named after its RAC horsepower rating and top speed respectively) could be ordered with either a manual or pre-selector four-speed gearbox. Arriving at Staines fully assembled, each engine was nonetheless stripped down, measured (blueprinting of a sort) and modified with better water porting arrangements etc. Despite being extremely well built and not overpriced just 74 of the 267 16/80s sold are currently known to the Lagonda Club.An original, factory-bodied ‘T5’ Tourer, chassis S10207 was first issued with the London registration number ‘YY 980’ on October 1st 1932. The earlier of two continuation logbooks on file shows that the Lagonda had migrated to Oxfordshire and the custodianship of Charles Tremlett by 1949. Thereafter, it is known to have belonged to Geoffrey Thomas (Malvern), Arthur Kerr (East Molesey), Edward Dearling (Sunbury-on-Thames) and Warner Baxter (Tolworth) before being bought by Kenneth Hill (Mitcham) on 12th March 1961 for the princely sum of £135. Having paid the equivalent of nine weeks’ wages for the 16/80, the latter managed to extract fifty years’ service from it. A serial Lagonda owner, the vendor purchased ‘YY 980’ from Mr Hill precisely because of its careworn appearance and self-evident originality. Keen to improve the Tourer’s mechanical condition he embarked upon a series of works between 2012 and 2014 that saw attention paid to the engine, Z-type gearbox, clutch, radiator and instruments. Gosnay’s Engineering Company Ltd of Romford reground the crankshaft, converted the big-ends to shell bearings, renewed the main bearings, re-bored / refaced the block and removed the old cylinder head studs. They also supplied new JE pistons and steel con-rods, while EDS of Norwich crack / pressure tested and refaced the cylinder head as well as installing new core plugs, valve seat inserts and valve guides etc. Having reassembled the straight-six himself, the vendor tackled the gearbox and clutch sourcing a variety of new parts from The Lagonda Club. The radiator was professionally refurbished as were several of the instruments. The block and sump were returned to Gosnay’s during 2020 to cure the leaking rear crankshaft seal but the repair was only a partial success. Starting readily upon inspection, the 16/80 has seen scant use in the last couple of years and would thus benefit from some recommissioning. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, 2017 marque specialist valuation for £70,000 and maintenance / MOT history dating back sixty-three years.

Registration No: VH 2502 Chassis No: GVO15 MOT: ExemptEntered from a large, private collection in which it has resided since 1991Notably late 20hp with a beautifully appointed interiorWell proportioned six-light coachworkEngine overhauled during the current ownershipFeatured in 'Downton Abbey' and 'Mr Selfridge'Intended to broaden the marque's reach beyond the fabulously rich to the merely very wealthy, the Rolls-Royce 20hp was introduced in 1922. A more radical design than its illustrious 40/50hp Silver Ghost sibling, the newcomer was based around a 10ft 9in wheelbase ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, rear-wheel brakes and fully floating 'Hotchkiss Drive' back axle. The first Rolls-Royce engine to feature overhead valvegear, its 3127cc straight-six was designed to run at anywhere between 150rpm and 3,500rpm. Priced at £1,100 in bare chassis guise, the 20HP was not only less expensive than the Silver Ghost but also lighter and more responsive to drive too. Progressively updated with a four-speed manual gearbox and all-wheel braking, the 'baby' Rolls remained in production until 1929 by which time some 2,940 are thought to have been made.According to information kindly supplied by leading Rolls-Royce historian and author John Fasal Esq, chassis GVO15 was taken off test at the Derby Works on 23rd July 1929 and despatched to Messrs Rippon Bros where it was clothed as a Six-Light Saloon. Sold new to H.P. Nelson Esq. of Dawndon House, Spring Hill, Nelson, Lancashire, it was the second 20hp he had taken delivery of in as many years (his 1928 acquisition being a Barker Cabriolet). Notably well-appointed, the Six Light Saloon is a testament to Rippon Bros’ craftsmanship featuring an ingenious ‘parallelogram’ sunroof, external tinted Auster sun visor, quick drop driver’s window, occasional bench seat, rear luggage grid, privacy blinds, individual door locks and metal-edged running boards etc. First registered in Huddersfield (or so its original ‘VH 2502’ number plate would imply), the Rolls-Royce had migrated to North Wales by the late 1980s. The subject of much restoration work prior to entering the current family ownership in 1991, the paintwork is no longer perfect but the doors line up well and open and close with ease. Most of the leather upholstery has been renewed over time but the headlining and numerous other fittings and fixtures are pleasingly thought to be those installed by Rippon Bros. Treated to a thorough overhaul by the vendor’s late father, the factory-fitted engine (number E7Z) started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Forming part of a large private collection for the past thirty-three years, ‘VH 2502’ has paid its way by appearing in the hit television series Mr Selfridge and Downton Abbey. A notably late and handsome 20hp, chassis GVO15 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

A fine Q.G.M. awarded to Fireman M. J. Montgomerie, London Fire Brigade, for his courage and gallantry in ‘carrying out a daring rescue’ of a woman trapped on the third floor of a burning building in London in June 1975 Queen’s Gallantry Medal (Maurice John Montgomerie) nearly extremely fine £2,400-£2,800 --- Q.G.M. London Gazette 27 July 1976: ‘Fireman Montgomerie who, on 18th June 1975, was Officer-in-Charge of the initial attendance at a fire which had engulfed a corner building of four floors, and a basement, saw a woman trapped at a third floor window. It was obvious that a severe flash-over had already occurred, blasting out the third floor windows and that a further one was imminent. Fireman Montgomerie immediately instructed the driver of the turntable ladder to prepare for a rescue. The trapped woman silhouetted by flames was frantically trying to get out of the blasted window and as soon as the driver began to elevate and extend the ladder, Fireman Montgomerie mounted and began to ascend. He reached the head of the ladder and managed to place his right knee lengthways on the window sill. Although the woman knew he was there, she made no attempt to get out and he had to reach into the room with his right arm to grasp her around the waist and was in the act of lifting her out when a further flash-over occurred. The severe force of the blast blew both of them from the window on to the head of the ladder, dislodging Fireman Montgomerie's helmet. Although stunned and shocked the officer had the presence of mind to hold on to the ladder and the screaming, struggling, badly burned woman. The driver of the turntable ladder observing the rescue attempt, felt a heavy dip on the ladder and realised that both the officer and the woman were on the head of the ladder. Because of the dangerous conditions he immediately decided to turn the ladder away from the window and out over the roadway, extending the ladder and training it so that the head rested on the roof coping of the building opposite. The turntable driver then ascended the ladder to help Fireman Montgomerie who had already started the difficult task of descending with the injured woman. He met his driver mid-way down the ladder and by pressing firmly against the ladder he supported the main weight of the woman whilst his driver supported her legs on his forearms, using his hands to guide Fireman Montgomerie's feet on to each ladder round until they reached the heel of the ladder. Fireman Montgomerie saved vital seconds by mounting the ladder whilst it was being extended and there was every possibility of his feet being crushed by the rounds while this was being done. He also took very severe punishment at the head of the ladder which could have easily led to his losing his grip and falling to the ground. Fireman Montgomerie displayed outstanding courage and devotion to duty when, regardless of his personal safety, he carried out this daring rescue.’ Maurice John Montgomerie was born on 12 December 1922, and for this rescue was also a RADAR 1977 ‘Man of the Year’ recipient. He died in London in 1996, aged 73.
