Franz Kline (1910-1962), Oil Painting. Image Size: 55 1/2 by 35 5/8 inches (141 by 90.5 cm) All measurements are approximate. Signed (reverse), with Gallery Label. Franz Kline (1910-1962) was an influential American abstract expressionist artist celebrated for his bold and powerful compositions. His iconic black-and-white works, characterized by sweeping brushstrokes and dynamic gestures, capture a raw energy and emotional intensity. Kline's innovative approach to abstraction, often using a monumental scale, created a sense of immediacy and a direct connection with the viewer. His art exudes a sense of controlled chaos, inviting audiences to explore the interplay of form and space. As a leading figure in the abstract expressionist movement, Franz Kline's legacy continues to inspire contemporary artists. His ability to convey emotion through abstraction and his fearless experimentation with form and color solidify his place as a master of modern art. Please read our policy carefully: 1.

With a semi-spaceframe rear end, sequential six-speed box and a 330bhp 2.5-litre Millington engine, this must be the ultimate Mk II Escort. It was to be Colin McRae's final rally car and is on offer directly from the McRae family.The remarkable career of Colin McRae MBE has filled volumes and is too long to list here, but it did include becoming Scottish Schoolboy Motocross Champion at 13, the Scottish Rally Championship in 1988, winning the 1991 and 1992 British Rally Championship and, in 1995 he became the first British driver and the youngest person to win the World Rally Championship Drivers title, a record which stood for 27 years. Success continued with a total of 25 wins in the WRC, a third place at Le Mans in the GTS Class, a win in the Baja 500 Portalegre, stage wins on the Dakar and many other rallies worldwide.Despite the passage of time, Colin McRae is still one of the biggest names in the world of rallying, certainly the most recognised. Colin was an iconic figure at the time. 'Everybody took a step back when they heard Colin driving. He was just using the road as a rough guide. His style and approach were something to watch. At one time he held the record for the most rally victories. His ‘never say die’ attitude, always flat out, it really sat with people and endeared him to them'.But people often forget that he was a mechanic, too. He worked well with engineers and understood how to set a car up and its mechanical limitations. He is frequently discussed in terms of his wild, aggressive style, but if you watched him drive on tarmac at Le Mans or ASCAR at Rockingham, he was really quite smooth. He won two Safari rallies, which takes a lot of mechanical empathy and an intelligent approach as to just how much you can get away with.Here at Silverstone Auctions, we feel truly privileged to have been entrusted by the McRae family with the sale of three of Colin’s favourite cars. They are significant cars in the history of rallying and will be available to view prior to our auction on Friday, August 25th.For some time, Colin had been thinking about building a really special Mk II Ford Escort, the fastest rally Escort ever built. In Colin’s own words, 'The Mk II is the rally car of all time. When my father started rallying, these were the type of rear-wheel drive cars that were at the top level of the sport. I remember watching in the forests and they always sounded the best and looked the most spectacular – sideways. Ever since then, they have stuck in my mind'.So, in 2002, Colin made the decision to start the project and recruited Dave Plant of DJM race prep in Newark to build it. In Dave’s own words,'In late 2002 we were asked by colleague and friend Gordon Birtwistle of Proflex UK Ltd. if we could convert a Mk II Escort into independent rear suspension instead of the conventional live axle, for a rather special customer, this being the late great Colin McRae and of course, we were only too pleased to take up the challenge. The donor car was supplied to us in early 2003 and after numerous telephone conversations with Colin, the project commenced. The original specification was to be an ultra-long wheel travel, gravel rally car. With fully independent front and rear suspension to our own design and using our own aluminium uprights, finished off with a T45 roll cage to support the modifications.Colin first visited our workshop in April 2003 to see how his ‘toy’ was shaping up. He took a particular shine to our brand new, 4WD tarmac-spec KA rally car and it became apparent to him that we were a ‘one-stop shop’ and were able to bring WRC attributes to any vehicle. This led to us doing more work than was initially intended and it was decided on that day that the project was now to be a turn-key rally car designed to be as lightweight, compliant and agile as we could make it.'The full story of this unique car’s build and subsequent testing is well-documented elsewhere but the final build-spec included,A Millington ‘Diamond’ 2.5-litre, 16-valve, four-cylinder engine producing around 330bhp on electronic fuel injection and mounted as far back and as low as physically possibleCleverly designed bespoke exhaust manifoldBespoke DJM sequential gearbox and individual limited-slip differentialT45 bespoke roll-cageDetachable front wings and extremely lightweight body panelsA bespoke carbon fibre complete dashboard and unique instrumentationA single-seater-type, floor-mounted pedal box and internal master cylindersProflex canister fully adjustable dampersAlloy ‘Group A’ Escort Cosworth suspension uprights (all round)Alcon ultimate brake discs and calipersCarbon fibre gear lever and handbrake leverExtended turretsA mid-mounted internal bespoke fuel tank (effectively where the rear seats would be)With the rear axle replaced by independent suspension and weight saving throughout the car, the Escort weighed in at a healthy 930kg further enhancing the car’s remarkable handling and agility.Over the next couple of years many hundreds of miles were covered in testing and on rallies, and the car may have played a small part in rekindling a well-known partnership between Colin and Nicky Grist, who shared the car on the Scottish and the Pirelli. Lots of magazine articles about this amazing car can be found online and there are also several YouTube clips, including one of Colin tackling the famous 'Molls Gap' stage on the Killarney rally in Southern Ireland. In common with all of Colin’s famous cars, the Escort has been modelled in 1/43rd scale by Trofeu Models and Corgi as part of their Vanguard Tribute Collection.Accompanied by its 2005 RAC Logbook, ONM 804V has been prepared to the highest standards and presents superbly. It runs and drives well but is not event-ready and the safety equipment, seats, belts, extinguishers etc. are no longer current so consequently the car will need complete preparation before being run in anger. It has, however, been fitted with new front discs and pads as well as a new clutch master cylinder and new brake master cylinders and, in addition, it’s been looked over and checked by Ian Gwynne of BGM Sport in Brackley. The car is being stored by him until our sale at the Silverstone Classic on the 26th/27th August. He is a friend of the McRae family and seriously interested parties are welcome to speak directly to Ian and view the car prior to the sale if they wish.The Talbot Sunbeam Ti from the 1986 season, which we are also offering, and this remarkable Escort last used by Colin in 2007 effectively ‘bookend’ his career and make these cars so special, particularly as they are for sale for the first time and directly from the McRae family.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: ESCORT MK IIYear: 1980Chassis Number: GCATWT70680Registration Number: ONM 804VTransmission: ManualEngine Number: WT70680 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDClick here for more details and images
First of the UK-supplied right-hand drive 800bhp Super Snakes built by Bill Shepherd and one of four remaining.800bhp in an American muscle car is not a great idea, especially if that car is being driven on UK-roads, however if you’re going to almost double the power output of an already powerful Mustang, it’s best if the work is carried out by someone who knows what they’re doing. Someone like Shelby American.Carroll Shelby created his first fettled Mustang, the GT350, in 1965, and since then, numerous high-performance variants have borne his name. Following his death in 2012, the firm he founded has continued to build cars and develop new models worthy of that name. The scale of the business has grown significantly in recent years thanks to Shelby’s reputation as the company to tune V8 Fords and now there are franchises across the world.The only official home for Shelby Mustangs in the UK, and one of only three in Europe, is Bill Shepherd Mustang. Thanks to Shepherd’s background in racing old Fords, Cobras and Mustangs, he got to know Carroll Shelby personally and his Surrey-based concern was chosen as the US firm’s UK-representative. In the past few years they have developed a thriving business converting brand-new Mustangs into a 'Shelby', complete with a Shelby VIN and an entry in the Shelby American World Registry.Offered here at the Silverstone Festival is this rare 2016 Shelby Super Snake built under licence by Bill Shepherd and one of only four that remain. It’s a UK-supplied right-hand drive car and was displayed on the Michelin stand at Goodwood in 2016. The Super Snake package transforms the already capable Mustang with an aluminium body and an incredible 800bhp that's fed through a 6-speed manual gearbox with a Shelby short-shift. Other features include a performance exhaust, uprated traction control, bigger brakes, 20" Super Snake wheels, carbon fibre additions and a unique Shelby stripe with badging.LY16 HKD is finished in Oxford White with a black stripe over a black leather interior and presents in super condition inside and out. Its high-specification includes unique Caroll Shelby badging, centre console switches for normal/sport+/race track/snow/wet, steering feel normal/sport/comfort, central information screen, electric windows, electric folding mirrors, climate control, heated front seats and SatNav.It's accompanied by a comprehensive history file including the original book packs including the service records which confirm periodic maintenance with the most recent in 2022 including brake pads front and rear. This maintenance, along with the MOT history, supports the current indicated mileage of just over 14,000. Another important feature includes a modern tracker and security system that will minimise the risk of the car disappearing unexpectedly.Do you really need 800bhp through the rear wheels on a wet Sunday in Wales? Probably not. But then you're only young twice.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: MUSTANGYear: 2016Chassis Number: 1FA6P8CF8G5305723Registration Number: LY16 HKDTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 5305723 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 16000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
Presented in the livery used by Maranello when Schumacher won the 2004 Bahrain Grand Prix. This fine 1:8th scale Amalgam model of the F2004 has been handcrafted and finished with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.The use of supremely accurate digital scanning of the original car has allowed Amalgam to perfectly recreate every detail at scale. Furthermore, it has undergone detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation. The model was finished to replicate the car on race day in Bahrain, 4th April 2004. The Ferrari F2004 is one of the most successful cars in Formula 1 history. During an era in which the Maranello-based team was dominating the sport, the F2004 won no less than 15 Formula 1 races during the 2004 season and allowed Michael Schumacher to win a record-breaking seventh World Championship. The second position in the championship was claimed by team mate, Rubens Barrichello, allowing for a 1-2 finish. The F2004 was to be the end of a hugely successful period in Ferrari's history, having won consecutively since 1999, with 2005 seeing Fernando Alonso and Renault take the crown. Autosport's Editor-in-Chief, Andrew van de Burgt, wrote 'The Ferrari F2004 is one of the most iconic Formula 1 cars in the sport's history. It was the car with which Michael Schumacher won his record-breaking seventh title and is a beautiful machine with an exceptional history.'This model 'Edition 15/30' measures 60cm/24'' approximately in length and is supplied with an original Perspex cover.Click here for more details and images
Unleash the spirit of adventure with this fully-restored 1965 Austin Mini Moke.The Mini Moke was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis at the same time as the Mini saloon, and used an identical engine, transmission and suspension parts. Although the pre-production prototype came out in 1959, full-scale production did not start until 1964. It may seem strange to design and build a vehicle with no clear idea what you are going to do with it, but this was BMC in the 1960s. It was initially mooted as a parachute-dropped utility vehicle for the British Army, but this notion failed at the first hurdle when they rejected it due to its low ground clearance. It was then decided that it would make an excellent tool for farmers and as a light commercial vehicle. This was partially scuppered yet again when it was rated as a passenger car and therefore subject to Purchase Tax. It did, however, gain a strong following and became a cult classic after featuring in the TV series, The Prisoner, and found its true role as a fun beach car at which it excelled. Some 14,500 Mokes were produced at BMC's Longbridge plant between 1964 and 1968 before production moved to Australia where a further 26,000 were made between 1966 and 1981. Another 10,000 were made in Portugal before production finally ceased in 1993.This early, UK-Supplied, right-hand drive Austin Mini Moke underwent a complete frame-off restoration, and was rebuilt to factory-specifications, retaining its original Mk1 features such as the single windscreen wiper and floor mounted headlight dip-switch. Finished in a shade of Spruce Green with black trim, it still has its original 850cc engine and 4-speed transmission, which has also been completely rebuilt.Superbly restored with no expense spared and very few miles since, it's supplied with a small history file and UK V5C. A British classic to enjoy with friends and family, always attracting the right attention and welcome at any classic car event or garden party.
