Lot 35
1974 BSA Ariel 3, model type K2, 49cc. Registration number UCY 600N. Frame number 006329. Engine number 08467.‘Here it is. Whatever it is.’ That was how the BSA Group’s advertisers heralded the arrival of the ill-conceived Ariel 3 in 1970. A tricycle aimed squarely at commuters, the Ariel 3 was powered by a 50cc Dutch Anker engine and featured a clever banking front end controlled by torsion bars, while its closely-spaced rear wheels, which remained upright, allowed the Ariel trike to be classed as a moped. No doubt BSA’s overblown marketing department had concluded that the apparent stability of such an arrangement would appeal to those nervous of riding a ‘real’ motorcycle or moped. They were very much mistaken; the machine turned out to be a disastrous flop, the £2 million wasted on the project playing a big part in precipitating the Group’s subsequent collapse.UCY is a rare apparently complete machine that still retains its orange tinted windshield. It was owned by John Dainty in 2009 who had it MOT'd in 2010 before our vendor bought it in 2017. It will require recommissioning before use.Sold with the V5C, 2010 MOT, 1977 tax disc, copies of the owners handbook and workshop manual.

* CHARLES NEAL (BRITISH b. 1951),WOMAN GATHERING WOODoil on canvas, signed, titled versoimage size 51cm x 41cm, overall size 64cm x 54cm Framed.Note: Charles Neal is currently one of the leading landscape painters in England and has had many major exhibitions. His style blends realism and impressionism while focusing on light and shadow with stunning subtleties of colour. In 1994 his The Painted Garden Exhibition was opened by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales at The Museum of Garden History in Lambeth, followed by “Coastline” in conjunction with the National Trust. Charles Neal has exhibited in London, New York and the Royal Society of British Artists and his work is represented in many private and corporate collections. Charles Neal is one of England’ s finest and most successful landscape painters. His works are sought after in increasing numbers for prestigious collections worldwide. As a trained engineer and artist, Neal utilises these two disciplines to produce a rare mix of developed skill and natural flair, making him an artist of choice for art collectors all over the world. Neal is committed to a plein air approach, blending the values of French Impressionism with the naturalistic traditions of English landscape painting. Expertly capturing and preserving fleeting effects of light, the physicality of the location with its unique atmosphere and sense of time and place, Charles Neal deftly crystallizes the essence of his chosen location in the painted image. Over the years his paintings have steadily increased in value. His paintings can be seen in Royal, private and commercial collections all over the world, and in recent years he has had two major public exhibitions under the patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Neal has also had solo exhibitions with the National Trust, Royal Horticultural Society, Surrey Wildlife Trust, The Museum of Garden History in London, and The Docklands Museum London. His paintings have also been hung at the Royal Society of British Artists and, internationally, at exhibitions in New York, Palm Beach, Barcelona, Paris and Dubai. Charles Neal’s early painting period was initially influenced through frequent visits in his teenage years to the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk and Van Gogh museums. In the 1980’s Neal began to paint professionally, working in association with Omell Galleries London and later joined Campbell’s of London and Astley House Fine Art. It was during this period that he became interested in the French Impressionists, in particular Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley and Camille Pissarro, for their lightness of touch, sense of celebration of nature and the daily round of life in general. Further, the ‘en plein air’ approach to painting was a logical move forward and at the same time had reference to Constable’s outdoor sketches. In 2003 Charles Neal joined Wally Findlay Galleries (New York and Palm Beach). Subsequently Neal has painted further thematic series of works that have been incorporated in gallery exhibitions or as special events linked to The National Trust, The Royal Horticultural Society, Surrey Wildlife Trust, The National Rowing Museum, Henley and the Docklands Museum London and The Blenheim Foundation.

* HANNAH FRANK (SCOTTISH 1908 - 2008),HEADwood engraving on paper, dated 1932 in the plate, signed in pencilimage size 10cm x 8cm, overall size 28cm x 24cmMounted, framed and under glass.Comment: an extremely rare wood engraving by Hannah Frank and believed to be the first offered at auction anywhere.Note: Since McTear's first promoted Hannah Frank's spectacular work in 2011, the prices for her ever more rare signed prints have continued to rise with many current prices being more than five times higher than those achieved barely a decade ago. The latest UK auction record figure for a single signed lithograph was most recently achieved (twice) in our auction on 24th October 2021 and now stands at £820 (hammer). Note 2: Hannah Frank was the last living link to the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau period. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art and Glasgow University in the 1920`s and her haunting pen and ink drawings have been exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Scottish Academy and Royal Glasgow Institute. A series of lithographs of some of her 90 drawings were made in the 1960's and again in the 1980's to satisfy the demand for her work after exhibitions in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Only a relatively few of these prints were hand signed (in pencil) by Hannah and it's understood that only one print was ever editioned (numbered) in a conventional manner. A major exhibition at the Royal Glasgow Institute in 2006 brought her work to a new generation of admirers and received considerable press coverage. Her work toured for five years in the UK and the USA culminating in an exhibition at Glasgow University which opened on her 100th birthday 23rd August 2008. After her death, she was awarded a posthumous Honorary Doctorate at Glasgow University and Glasgow City Council`s Lord Provost`s Award For Art (2009).
