Registration - A597FALChassis No. - WBAAD720000510361M.O.T. - June 2025Odometer - 62,470 Opportunities like this come about incredibly rarely. A cherished, one-owner example of one of the 1980s best-handling sports-saloons, this BMW 323i Alpina has been carefully looked after by its sole owner during the course of its 40 years on the road. ‘A597 FAL’ was bought new from Sytner BMW of Nottingham, and is believed to be one of the only – perhaps the only – example of an Alpina-tuned four-door E30 3-Series left on UK roads. Presented in red with deep Alpina front splitter, side graphics, and black rear spoiler, the ensemble is completed with classic Alpina alloys. Powered by Alpina’s tuned version of the BMW 2,316cc petrol straight-six petrol engine and manual gearbox, ‘A597 FAL’ boasts optional extras such as a full cream leather interior, central locking, electric sunroof, green tinted glass, rear headrests and the original Blaupunkt Boston radio cassette player with electric aerial.The original features on this car are astounding, including Sytner dealership plates, two sets of keys, original book packs, and sales invoice; there’s even the business card of the vehicle’s salesman. ‘A697 FAL’ has always been kept garaged from new and is being offered for sale by the estate of its late owner, complete with a huge history file, including a full service history and MOTs supporting the displayed 62,470 mileage. The car’s paintwork, bodywork, interior, electrics, engine, and transmission are all described by the person acting on behalf of the late owner’s estate as ‘excellent’, and ‘A597 FAL’ is offered at no reserve, further adding to its appeal.Incredibly rare right-hand drive E30 AlpinaOne owner from newOffered at no reserveWith BMW’s introduction of the E30 3-Series saloon in 1982, Alpina - recognised by German authorities as a manufacturer in its own right in 1984 - took the second generation of BMW’s compact executive saloon and worked its magic once again. Released in 1984, the Alpina C1 uses a bored out 2.3-litre engine, creating more power, but crucially considering the company’s focus on touring, a torquier unit. At first sight, the Alpina is little more than a tweaked BMW 325i, but the devil is in the details, and Alpina’s care in building the engine and overall set-up are what transform the 3 Series. Fewer than 50 C1 2.3 models were built over the course of production, which lasted from 1984 until 1986, when it was replaced with the more powerful C1 2.5.Please Note: V5 states BMW 323i – Original Bill of Sale states Alpina BMW Sports as the model on the original Sytner Invoice. – Vendor to do own due diligence

Dame Laura Knight R.A. (British, 1877-1970), 'Hop Picking', signed l.r., titled on a 1971 Royal Academy label verso, oil on canvas, 75 by 62cm, in the original frame.Provenance: purchased from the Royal Academy by the current client's parents-in-law. Catalogue Raisonne No.1042. Note: Artist Resale Rights apply Note: Laura Knight's love for the countryside and people of Worcestershire led her to create a series of works depicting the gypsy hop pickers at work in the fields at Callow End, between Malvern and Worcester, which she started in 1939, just at the outbreak of WWII. She returned to the theme as a way of softening the effects of the traumatic and disturbing experiences she suffered while painting the Nuremburg Trials in 1946. In her memoirs, Knight records her nostalgic appreciation for the English countryside, made even more poignant in her mind in light of what she had witnessed in Germany, "How lush and green is our meadowland, how dazzling the pear orchards, then white roofed with blossom, how haphazard is our agriculture – oddly shaped, hedged in, dotted with church, cottage, pig-pen and haystack – all calm and sweet as if war had never been and sorrow never was." (Knight, L. 1965, The Magic of Line, p. 302). The impetus to start her studies of hop pickers similarly began with a domestic disturbance as a result of her staff leaving the London home at the outbreak of the war in 1939. "I stayed in Malvern, where to keep myself from going crackers, I painted the nearest thing to hand: the old back garden gate belonging to the hotel, and almost the last rose of summer, anything... no matter what... so long as I didn't stop to think" (Ibid. p.273). As she had always wanted to paint hop pickers, she was alerted to the fields of Callow Farm where gypsies were employed to pick hops during the harvest. She hired a taxi daily to take her to the fields where she would paint canvases directly en plain air "Like painting anything on the move, such as race-meeting crowds, the constant change taking place during the stripping of the hop-vines is nervy work. An artist has to finish as he goes; you cannot reckon on seeing the same thing twice," (Ibid. p.273-274). Amongst the works painted before the war, are included Hop Pickers at Malvern, showing a remarkably similar scene to the current painting, a woman in a pink blouse, man in a cap and a child sitting on a hop cradle looking directly at the viewer (see Sotheby's, 13th December 2005, lot 77). It is likely this painting was executed at the same time.
Thomas Kinkade (American, 1958-2012). Giclee print with hand-painted embellishments titled "The Jungle Book," depicting the characters from the movie in a jungle landscape. From the Disney Dreams Collection. Signed and numbered 186/200 E.P. along the lower right. With a certificate of authenticity.Said Kinkade of this work: "There is little doubt that The Jungle Book remains one of the most delightful and warmly received of all of the Disney animated films. This re-telling of the classic Rudyard Kipling tale is the last film that Walt Disney was involved with both in terms of production and writing before his death in 1966. "Let's have fun with it," Walt was often quoted as saying to his animation staff about their efforts on the film. And that is exactly what the talent pool of The Walt Disney Studios did with the story of Mowgli, the Indian jungle boy raised by wolves, befriended by bears and panthers and stalked by pythons and tigers. But beyond Walt's simple desire, The Jungle Book also set a high benchmark in relation to animation, musical score and storytelling to which all of the Disney cartoon classics aspire. These original intents of Disney inspired this adaptation by Thomas Kinkade Studios.The narrative panoramic style of the collection is fully realized on this canvas with each of the film's many enchanting scenes captured to delight fans of all ages. The chaos of King Louie, the joy of the baby elephant walk and the waterside romance at the "man village" were all integrated into the painting's completion. And at the center of it all is Mowgli the man cub, the evil tiger Shere Khan, the wise panther Bagheera and Baloo, the lovable if lazy Poppa Bear. Set in a verdant jungle and highlighted by flowers, waterfalls and palms, one can almost smell the canopied gardenias, sense the rushing of the water and hear the chatter of the monkeys in the trees. Indeed, the magic of Walt Disney as interpreted by Thomas Kinkade Studios has never been more likely to transport the collector to the experience of the cinematic moment. Let us all take that journey, "have fun with it" and "look for the bare necessities of life!""Unframed; height: 18 in x width: 27 in. Framed; height: 29 1/2 in x width: 38 1/2 in x depth: 3 1/4 in.Condition: The colors are bold and bright. The surface is stable. There are no major losses, creases, or tears.
