Registration No: LS55 MYKChassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z6S732476MOT: Oct 2022 Owned by the celebrated actress, comedian and screenwriter Jennifer Saunders since it was just under a year oldA rear-wheel drive, six-speed manual, Coupe version of the increasingly sought after 997-seriesTreated to a major service in July 2021 at a cost of £2,710.19 Introduced in 2004, the 997-series of Porsche’s iconic 911 allied all the technological improvements of its 996-series predecessor – a lighter / stiffer bodyshell, better suspension / brakes, four-valve cylinder heads and a superior HVAC system – to more classical styling. Available in Carrera or Carrera S guises when launched, the latter boasted a more powerful 3.8 litre engine (rated at 350bhp/295lbft), sports exhaust, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and 19-inch wheels as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds and 182mph, it soon became a driver’s favourite. Better built and better looking than a 996 and smaller and more agile than a 991 (or current 992), great examples of 997 manual gearbox cars are becoming increasingly collectible.Although, the multi award-winning actress, comedian and screenwriter Jennifer Saunders is perhaps best known for Absolutely Fabulous and French & Saunders, her current, fifteen-year long ownership of ‘LS55 MYK’ suggests that she is a petrolhead too! Certainly, few enthusiasts would argue with her choice of a rear-wheel drive, manual transmission 911 Coupe. Finished in Arctic Silver with Black leather upholstery, the 2+2-seater was less than twelve months old when Ms Saunders bought it. Since used as an everyday car, the Porsche now displays some 153,500 miles to its odometer. Predominantly maintained by Porsche Centre Exeter and Porchetech of North London, the former fitted a new battery and alternator in August 2020 at a cost of £1,074.23, while the latter carried out a major service plus the installation of a new gearbox undertray, outside temperature gauge, top mounts and stabilizer bushes etc in July 2021 the bill for which totalled £2,719.10. Passing its last MOT test on 26th October 2021 with ‘no advisories’, this ‘Ab Fab’ 997-series Carrera 2S is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack and sundry invoices.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: This lot was driven to the sale by Jennifer Saunders as a last hurrah. We understand that the accompanying service, maintenance and extended warranty bills amassed during her ownership total over £37,000.

JUAN BARJOLA (Torre de Miguel Sesmero, Badajoz, 1919 - Madrid, 2004)."Sálvese quien pueda", 1990.Oil on canvas.Attached certificate of authenticity issued by Antonio Machón.Signed in the lower right corner.Measurements: 100 x 81 cm.From the decade of the eighties Barjola, began to soften his chromatic palette, making use of more brilliant and luminous tonalities. This change was also reflected in his brushwork, which became freer and lighter, resulting in a more serene painting. This work is the reflection of these changes, without abandoning his personal idiosyncrasy based on a gestural and expressive painting dominated by his own iconography, such as the figure of the bull present in this piece. It is worth mentioning that the work has a certificate issued by Antonio Machón, a renowned gallery owner who has dedicated his life to the study and artistic research, giving numerous lectures and participating in masters on creativity.Belonging to the current of representative expressionism, Juan Barjola is one of the most outstanding Spanish painters of the second half of the twentieth century. Already as a child he showed his love for drawing, which led his parents to guide him on the path of art. At the age of fifteen Barjola arrives in Badajoz to begin his training, and enters the School of Arts and Crafts of the city. Fully committed to his incipient career, in 1943 he moved to Madrid, where he first studied at the School of Arts and Crafts on La Palma Street and, later, at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts. At the same time, he furthered his training at the Prado Museum, where he copied Velázquez and interpreted Goya, Brueghel, El Greco and Bosch. During this period, which ended in 1950, Barjola produced a series of academic works of a naturalistic style, with themes taken from family life, suburban characters and other genre scenes. Around 1950 he began a new stage of post-cubist style, a prevailing trend in Madrid at that time due to the influence that Daniel Vázquez Díaz exerted on a whole generation. During these years Barjola would develop faceted images, with flat treatment and bluish and cold colors. At the same time he began to develop a new, more constructive stage, marked by earthy colors. In 1957 Barjola made his individual debut at the Abril gallery in Madrid, and that same year he held two more personal exhibitions in Brussels, at the Theatre and Vallvora galleries. He then began a brilliant exhibition career that would take his work to Europe, Japan, the United States and Latin America. Around 1958 he began a short but intense period in which he experimented with a language of abstract tendency in which the pictorial matter assumed the leading role in the painting. His work will now be marked by thick and sumptuous impastos of sordid and dark colorations, which form abstract and organic still lifes. It is the moment of apogee of the material abstraction led by Tàpies from Barcelona. A year later, and without disappearing the thick impastos, the organic stains begin to be resolved in human embryos, the result being a return to figuration in line with the international trend initiated by Francis Bacon. Barjola thus became the main Spanish representative of the New Figuration. In 1960 he received a grant from the Juan March Foundation which allowed him to travel to Paris and Belgium, and in 1963 he was awarded the Eugenio D'Ors Medal by the critics. That same year he exhibited at the Dirección General de Bellas Artes, and shortly after he was awarded the National Drawing Prize at the National Exhibition (1968). Towards 1964 his work undergoes a new evolution, marked by the paintings of Velázquez, Goya and El Greco.

Framed Original Art  by John Randall Bratby (1928–1992) (Born Wimbledon, Surrey [now in Greater London], 19 July 1928; died Hastings, Sussex, 20 July 1992).Titled and inscribed The Aphrodite Girl – Belly Dancer at The AphroditeTaverna Hastings John Bratby 18 Jan 19912nd day of war Bratby British painter and writer was a versatile artist: he painted portraits, still lifes, figure compositions, landscapes, and flower pieces, and also designed film sets. He is probably best known for the scenes of drab domestic life he painted in the 1950s, when he was a member of the Kitchen Sink School. Later his work became lighter and more exuberant. His talent for self-promotion helped to make him one of the best-known British artists of his generation. Among his publications are the novel Breakdown (1960) and a book on Stanley Spencer (1970).
