Offered from The Forshaw Speedway Collection c.1939 Excelsior JAP 500cc Mk I Speedway Racing MotorcycleFrame no. L 187Engine no. JOS/C 3418•Max Grosskreutz designed frame•Well-presented example of a popular pre-war Mk I modelStarting under the name of Bayliss Thomas & Company as Coventry manufacturers of bicycles and ordinaries from 1874, the name changed to the Excelsior Motor Company in 1910. Excelsior had close links with Prestwich at Tottenham from as early as 1914. Later taken over by R. Walker & Sons after the first world war and moving to Tysley Birmingham, Excelsior built their image through racing, winning the Lightweight TT in 1929. They later commissioned Blackburn to design a four-valve engine, this 'Mechanical Marvel' resulting in another TT win in 1933. This engine inspired Excelsior to produce their own similar engine, the Manxman in 1935 which established itself in the racing world including a win in the German Grand Prix in 1936. A little earlier in 1932 Excelsior had joined rivals in the speedway world when Prestwich asked them to produce a suitable frame. His was a one off and nothing more happened for some years. Around 1935/6 Max Grosskreutz started to make frames to his own design which became very popular and successful. Max was persevering to meet the demand with ever more interest when Bluey Wilkinson won the world Final in 1938 with a Grosskreutz frame increasing the demand even further. By April 1939 Max had placed a £1,000 order with Excelsior to produce frames in volume. This became the Mk 1 Excelsior. These were unusual, although lugged as so many others of the time this frame had two extra tubes running below the fuel tank from the steering head to the seat down tube. Inevitably this became known as the Five Tuber.It is not known for certain when this Excelsior joined the Forshaw collection but in a letter dated 1989 from Richard to Mr Hunt he asks if he can arrange to see the Excelsior speedway machine 'that we spoke about some eighteen months ago'. It is reasonable to assume that a deal was concluded. It is not known how much work had to be carried out when this machine was purchased but this Mk1 Excelsior is now a very well presented example of a very popular design from the later 1930s. Accompanied with many photographs, Excelsior adverts and literature as well as a sketch of a knee hook assembly. The mechanical condition is not known and therefore we recommend recommissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent. Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Frederick Donald Blake RI, RSMA (Scottish, 1908-1997), Mountain Village, watercolour and pen & ink on clay coated paper, varnished, signed "F. Donal Blake" lower right, 17 ½ x 27in. (44.4 x 68.6cm.)* Provenance: The Furneaux Gallery, 23 Church Road, Wimbledon Village** Notes: The Scottish painter and designer Frederick Donald Blake was born in Greenock in 1908 but moved with his family to London when he was child and he lived in the South of England for the rest of his life. He trained at Camberwell School of Art and started work as an architectural draughtsman. Early in 1940 he was drafted into a small group of war artists producing propaganda work for the Ministry of Defence. During the war he also produced war maps and impressions of battles for the Daily Express and worked as an Air Raid Officer. It was at this time that he began to exhibit his paintings at the Royal Academy and elsewhere. After the war he worked as a freelance designer for the aircraft industry, the railways and on road safety campaigns but his passion was for painting. He perfected the use of a clay coated paper in combination with watercolour and finished the work with a coat of varnish to add depth. He also worked in oils. He was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, the Royal Society of Marine Artists, the New English Art Club, the Chelsea Arts Club, the Wapping Group of Artists and the London Sketch Club.
