1930 Rolls Royce 20/25 Registration: DXP 567; Originally bodied as a Sedanca de Ville, and latterly used as a hearse, the chassis was found languishing in a barn and brought back to life by the current owner, whose childhood memory of a toy slot car became the inspiration for the car. Some research showed that the slot car he remembered was modelled on the famous 'Sluggard' car built by the Rolls Royce factory for performance testing at Brooklands, which reputedly ran at 101 mph at the track in 1912. The restoration of the car was documented in a series of articles in the Rolls Royce Enthusiasts Magazine, Surrey section from Summer 2011 to Autumn 2012 newsletters, available on their website. The engine was rebuilt by a well known Rolls Royce specialist in Sussex. The work included crankshaft journal re mettaling, reboring and fitting of light weight pistons. The head and block were crack tested and skimmed, and all the oil ways and sludge traps cleaned. The brakes were rebuilt in April this year by Southwestern Coachworks, and the car has done aound 500 miles since. It has had a new custom made stainless steel exhaust system and battery this year. There is an overdrive unit installed which makes the car much more usable for long runs. The car is MOT exempt, and so is not currently MOT'd. It comes with an extensive history file, including buff log books, petrol rationing cards and copies of original sales invoices, as well as several articles about the original 'Sluggard' car. The car is configured to run with the modern headlights seen in the pictures, but it would be a simple job to wire the large period ones to work, and an enthusistic new owner might want to get the telegauge working!

Patrick Collins HRHA, 1911-1984 BEYOND THE BOG (1966) Oil on board, 36" x 48" (91.5cm x 122cm) signed, inscribed verso Provenance: Tom Caldwell Gallery, July 1979 (label verso) The importance of Patrick Collins lies in his successful struggle to be both international and local, embracing a modern approach to painting while at the same time drawing from indigenous sources. 'Beyond the Bog' is one of his earliest attempts to strip away inessentials and move dramatically towards a more minimal abstract approach. The painting is developed boldly with a few strong lines set against empty space. Characteristically, the composition pulls the eye towards to edges, rotating around a central point and electrifying the empty space. The painting works in purely abstract terms but is further enhanced by the electrifying empty space. Collins was always absorbed by the land but during the late '60s he frequently turned to the bog as a subject. It appealed to him because it was closely identified with Ireland and allowed him to experiment with very austere compositions. Here he brings the viewer right into the bog, with not so much as a trace of sky, buildings or trees. But rather than explicitly describing what he sees, Collins has condensed the moisture, mist and diffused grey light of the Irish countryside better than almost any other artist of his generation. Frances Ruane, 2009.
