1961 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Transmission: manualMileage:21500General Motors designer Harley Earl loved sports cars and was influenced by the GI’s bringing home MGs, Jaguars, Alfa Romeo’s and the like after hostilities ceased in Europe in 1945. Even the small independent carmaker, Nash Motors, began selling a two-seater sports car in 1951. Earl convinced GM that they also needed to build a two-seat sports car. Earl and his 'special projects' crew began working on the new car later that year which was code named 'Opel'. The result was the 1953 Corvette, which took its name from a small, manoeuvrable fighting frigate and was unveiled to the public at that year's Motorama Car Show.This superb left hand drive, manual gearbox example is presented in Polo White with silver panels and Sportsman Red interior with chrome five blade wheels and all appear to have been well restored. Upon import, the car was further improved, it was fully resprayed by a company experienced working with fibreglass and at the same time the suspension was updated, it is now fitted with a front suspension clip utilising later Corvette C5 components; this results in a far more modern and enjoyable driving dynamics, however, in the interest of originality the removed suspension set up and wheels are included in the sale. The original dynamo has been fully rewound and reconditioned and the points replaced with a Crane Carns ‘pointless’ system making for easier starting. By 1961, the C1 was at the end of almost 10 years of development and these very late, pre-Stingray, cars are probably the most desirable. It is supplied with a UK V5 registration document and several invoices.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1955 Chevrolet 3100 Pick-up Transmission: manualMileage:51200The 1948-1953 Chevrolet Series 3100 ½ ton pick-ups benefited from a redesign that took Chevrolet trucks into a new era of comfort, convenience and style. Chevrolets restyled ‘Advance Design’ trucks were introduced in 1947, well ahead of its first new post-war cars and little changed in appearance through 1953. The basic intent was to provide more room and comfort for occupants. These pick-ups had a new bench seat accommodating three people instead of the old separate seats and for the first time the seat was adjustable for longer leg room. The cab, described as ‘Unisteel Battleship’ construction, was larger in every direction. New extra-wide doors swung open on concealed hinges and extended down to cover the sills. The window area grew considerably via a wider windscreen, side windows and backlight, a vast improvement all-round compared to the previous models.This stunning Chevrolet 3100 presents in tremendous condition, having benefitted from an earlier nut and bolt restoration. The paintwork of cream over Candy Red is in good order as is the interior of the truck. Benefitting from a five-speed gearchange with quick shift, we are informed that this handsome piece of Americana is fun to drive. This truck also has a practical side and was at one point used by a local builder as his everyday conveyance. The phrase ‘they don’t build them like they use to’ certainly applies to this ½ ton pick-up. We are informed that the speedometer is currently not working Presented to auction with a V5C registration document.

* ANNE REDPATH OBE RSA ARA LLD ROI RBA (SCOTTISH 1895 - 1965), CABBAGE AND KALE oil on board, signed, titled label verso image size 51cm x 61cm, overall size 64cm x 74cm Framed. Handwritten artist's label verso. Label verso: Stone Gallery, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Provenance: Sold by Sotheby's, London, 29th August 1995 lot 954. Note: Anne Redpath was born in Galashiels, Scotland, in 1895, the first daughter of a textile designer. She went on to study at the Edinburgh College of Art, where she was described as the most promising student of her year and won a travel scholarship to Italy. Her time in Italy was to have a profound influence on her career. Having spent her early years as an artist immersed in the respectable Calvinist tradition, the opulent sense of the divine in Roman Catholic art proved to be a revelation, with the religious tranquillity of the early Renaissance masters informing her subsequent paintings. In 1920 she moved to France with her husband, an architect, and her art took a back seat as she focused on raising three sons. She did not revisit painting in earnest until she returned to Scotland when the relationship ended in 1934. When she did so, however, it was with renewed vigour. From 1942 onwards, as her confidence in her abilities returned, her palette became more vibrant. She was a central figure in the group of painters known as The Edinburgh School, sometimes described as the heirs to the Scottish Colourists. Redpath was a habitual traveller in her latter years, her journeys across Europe becoming the subject of her work; she was well-known for her landscapes, still lifes and pictures of church interiors. Anne Redpath was president of the Scottish Society of Women Artists from 1944-47, working tirelessly to promote the paintings of women who had been ignored by the British establishment. In 1952 she became the first woman artist to be elected to the Royal Scottish Academy as an Academician. UK Public Collections boast 116 examples of Redpath's work including at The National Galleries of Scotland, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow Museums & Galleries, The Hunterian, The Fleming Collection, The Tate, Kelvingrove, The National Trust and at Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Kirkcaldy, Manchester and numerous others.
