* DAVID HOCKNEY OM CH RA (BRITISH b. 1937),PICTURE OF A STILL LIFE THAT HAS AN ELABORATE SILVER FRAME lithograph on paper, numbered artist's proofimage size 77cm x 57cm, overall size 92cm x 72cmMounted, framed and under glass.Note: from A Hollywood Collection, 1962.Note 2: An accomplished painter, printmaker, photographer, and stage designer, David Hockney began showcasing his talent as a draftsman while studying at his hometown's Bradford School of Art as a teenager. At London's Royal College of Art in the early 1960s, he worked in a style that combined figuration, abstraction, and text, which identified him with the British Pop art movement. His work, however, defies categorization. It consists of still lifes and portraits rendered with delicacy and frankness and, after moving to Los Angeles, has included bold, colourful images of California's sun-drenched settings. Rooted in his personal relationships, his homosexuality, and his literary interests and travels, Hockney's art is, above all, deeply autobiographical. Printmaking has played a central role in Hockney's practice, and many of his most significant early works take the form of narrative print series. The linearity of etching matches his natural inclination for drawing, and lithography allows him to explore dazzling colour. He has also made editions with paper pulp and inventive prints using a photocopy machine. In all Hockney has created more than five hundred prints, collaborating with celebrated printers and workshops in Europe and America and also experimenting on his own. A copy of the print is in the Museum of Modern Art.Condition report: Condition is good overall, with no visible signs of restoration, damage, or known issues. Additional images have been uploaded to our website. Picture comes from a Private Scottish Collection.

* CLAIRE HARKESS RSW (SCOTTISH b. 1970),POLAR BEARwatercolour on paper, signed, dated 1998 label versoimage size 26cm x 18cm, overall size 44cm x 34cm Mounted, framed and under glass.Label verso: Gallery 41, EdinburghNote 1: In 1998, Claire worked as Artist in Residence with The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. While at Edinburgh Zoo she was filmed as part of the BBC "Ex-S" series and a fascinating documentary about her work was broadcast in November of that year. This work is a portrait of a specific animal at Edinburgh Zoo and it's likely that many Edinburgh residents and visitors to the Zoo will recognise this animal.Note 2: Claire Harkess was born in Ayr, Scotland, graduating from Glasgow School of Art in the early 1990s. In recent years her painting has taken her to fragile lands to study and interpret life on the edge. Antarctica, Outback Australia and St Kilda are all places where, in such extreme environments, survival is difficult and the balance of life is delicate. Harkess has also worked on the Galápagos Islands, made famous by Charles Darwin’s ‘The Origin of the Species’. This isolated volcanic outpost remained relatively untouched by man, evolving to become one of the World’s unique ecosystems. The balance present in nature is clearly communicated through Claire's paintings. Painting in watercolour or gouache offers a unique directness; the essential qualities of light and energy present in the natural world are the very essence of the medium itself. The delicacy of her palette and oriental economy of her mark-making creates a subtle tension representing a world that is ‘holding still’, giving a sense of freedom, spirit, time and place. Claire's work is exhibited at The Scottish Gallery, where her most recent highly successful solo show was in July 2020, and at other prestigious galleries around the UK.

* PETER GRAHAM ROI (SCOTTISH b. 1959),OLD TOWN, ALTEAoil on board, signed and dated '89image size 75cm x 62cm, overall size 90cm x 70cm Mounted, framed and under glass.Note: A rare appearance at auction for one of Scotland's and the UK's most successful contemporary artists. Peter Graham was born in Glasgow in 1959. He attended the Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 1980. In 2000 Peter was elected to Full Membership of The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, R.O.I. Peter has earned a reputation as one of Britain’s most gifted and distinctive Modern Colourists. His work is often related to the Modern Scottish School but Peter has a flamboyant style which is unique, – detailed brush work combined with loose fluid strokes creating vibrant contrasts of pure colour, line and tone. In the winter months within his studio he delves deeply into the still life genre, creating some of his most stunning compositions, always with colour the dominant theme but reflecting the heightened sense of atmosphere and passion that comes directly from painting in the beauty of the Mediterranean. Recently, hugely successful exhibitions in London have allowed Peter to take on extra studio space and his work is being enthusiastically exhibited by many of the UK's most prestigious galleries.

A Gentleman's express, just 18,640 miles and in splendid condition.Highest-spec Sovereign model with only 18,640 miles, a couple of previous owners and a comprehensive history fileNaturally-aspirated 4.0-litre V8 with 290bhp and a proper big-capacity growlBeautiful condition inside and out, a testament to its cosseted and well-maintained lifeRecent work in February 2022 includes a new timing chain tensioner and an air-conditioning overhaul totalling £6,556A remarkable car that offers all the old-school charm of a ‘proper Jaguar’ with modern and capable underpinningsThe Jaguar XJ (X308) is a full-size luxury saloon manufactured and marketed by Jaguar Cars from 1997 to 2003 across two generations and featuring Jaguar's AJ-V8 and Jaguar's independent rear suspension. It was the third and final evolution of the XJ40 platform which had been in production since 1986.The ‘Sovereign’ represented the highest luxury specification for Jaguar models, sitting next to the XJR. Sovereigns featured more elaborate and expensive wood veneer, commonly highly figured Burr Walnut, with window control and ashtray trim panels also in veneer as opposed to plastic in other models. The leather was also of a higher quality and often features contrasting piping, with seats being of the traditional fluted style. The suspension setup was biased towards touring and the wheels were normally 16" or 17" to provide high profile tyres for additional ride quality. Computer Active Technology System adaptive suspension was also offered as a rare option.Externally, a Sovereign can be distinguished by the complete use of highly polished steel/chrome work around windows and rear light clusters, as well as polished radiator grille and boot garnish. The cars are simply badged as ‘Sovereign’ with no mention of ‘XJ’.Having discontinued production of both the AJ16 inline-six and V12 engines, Jaguar offered the new XJ model with their newly designed V8 engine (named the AJ-V8) only. It was available in either 3.2-litre or 4.0-litre form (the latter with a Supercharger in the XJR model). The Sovereign utilised the naturally-aspirated 4.0-litre V8 with a more than adequate 290bhp and a proper big-capacity growl, married to the ZF 5HP24 5-speed automatic gearbox.This 1998 Jaguar XJ Sovereign is a wonderful example of Jaguar’s flagship saloon that still sets the bar for ride refinement and overall quality and performance. In outstanding cosseted condition and finished in Jaguar Topaz with an Oatmeal Leather interior, it has only covered 18,640 miles with just two previous owners. Originally destined for an overseas client of renowned Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists, Clark and Carter, it has now become available. Recent preparation work included replacing the timing chain tensioner, the air-conditioning compressor and re-gassing. Work also included a total over haul of the brakes and a full engine/gearbox service. Wheels also had a specialist refurbishment. (Invoice £6,556 on file).Grace, Space and Pace personified ... probably the bargain of the catalogue!

One of only 15 Double Rs produced and the only one built with aluminium bodywork.UK-supplied and just 1,369 miles from new with its two ownersOne of only 15 Double Rs in total and the only one built with polished aluminium bodywork (£15k option, standard cars were fibreglass)Powered by a 400bhp, supercharged 2.3-litre Cosworth/Duratec inline-four, mated to a 5-speed manual gearboxOnly 510kg, 60mph from a standstill in less than 3 seconds, 100mph in just 6.5 secondsFixed seat position with adjustable pedals offering capacity for drivers up to around 6’4”Benefiting from recent work in Jan 2022 with Bell Sport and ClassicThis is a serious motorcar offering unbelievable performance and exclusivityWhen it comes to motoring and sports cars in particular, there will always be someone who wants something just that little bit different, a car that puts performance and fun ahead of practicality and day to day transportation. This fact wasn't lost on Colin Chapman when he introduced the Lotus 7 and a number of small builders have carried on the tradition with varying degrees of success. Amongst them are Caterham, Ariel with the Atom, BAC with the Mono, KTM with their X-Bow, a rash of Radicals and the car we have on offer here, the Brooke-Cosworth Double R Supercharged 400.The Brooke Double R originally started life all the way back in the 1990s when the company was known as Brooke Kensington, and the car was the Brooke Kensington ME 190.The company was sold in the early 2000s and its new owners completely re-engineered the car, to the point where there were apparently no interchangeable parts, despite the fact that outwardly the cars did still look quite similar. The double R was offered with a variety of power outputs, normally aspirated 200 and 260bhp and supercharged versions offering 320 and a blistering 400bhp.This is a Double R 400, not surprisingly powered by a 400bhp supercharged 2.3-litre Cosworth/Duratec inline-four, coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Weighing only 510kg, it can hit 60mph from a standstill in less than 3 seconds, and 100mph in just 6.5 seconds. It features a tubular spaceframe chassis, with every tube cut on a CNC laser and although the seat is fixed, the CNC-machined pedals are fully adjustable offering a comfortable seating position for drivers up to around 6’4”.This very special lightweight sportscar is one of only 15 Double Rs produced to date and is in fact the only one built with custom aluminium bodywork, a £15k option as all other cars were fibreglass. The first owner kept the Brooke in a storage bubble from new during his 12 years of ownership and used it lightly which explains the low mileage of just 1,369.The second and current owner has also clearly lovingly maintained this special car and he has also used it simply for its intended purpose, absolutely memorable days out. In January 2022 it benefitted from recent work and expenditure at Bell Sport and Classic and is now 'on its toes' ready for its next lucky owner. There are details on file of the cars recent servicing and maintenance work carried out over the years in the accompanying history file, along with previous correspondence from the first owner on the build etc.This is an incredibly special two-seater sportscar offering performance most supercars built today would envy. Combined with the fact that this is the only one finished with aluminium bodywork, low ownership, low miles and recent work and attention, makes this a seriously rare and exciting opportunity.NB; The Cherished Registration Number illustrated (1 WOA) does not form part of the sale and the car has recently been issued with a fresh MOT.SpecificationMake: BROOKE COSWORTHModel: DOUBLE R 400Year: 2009Chassis Number: BR00KE239DSUP00ZZRegistration Number: WA09 OAPClick here for more details and images

A grown-up Mk2, the S-Type was the most aspirational saloon car of the period.The S-Type was a sporting saloon combining the best of the Mk2 and the Mk10With it's new independent rear suspension, it comfortably out-handled the Mk2 This is one of just 9,717 examples produced in RHD 3.8-litre specificationWith its original owner for almost 30 years, before passing it to his sonNow showing just 35,317 milesDelightfully presented in Regency Red with a classic Jaguar red leather interiorLots of original features, whilst befitting from an expert restoration in the 1990sA fantastic way into first-time classic car ownership, this high-specification S-Type would be welcome at any classic motoring eventProduced from 1963 to 1968, the Jaguar S-Type was technically a more sophisticated development of the Jaguar Mk2, offering buyers a more luxurious alternative. It was available with either 3.4 or 3.8-litre XK engines and featured longer rear bodywork amongst other styling and interior changes. Despite its extra weight, the S-Type's independent rear suspension allowed it to corner faster than the Mk2, especially on uneven surfaces, providing better traction and a much smoother ride for rear seat passengers with the consensus that the S-Type offered significant improvements over the Mk2 in road holding, safety and ride comfort. It was described as 'a convenient family car, a businessman's express, a sports coupé and a grand tourer.'The car presented here is a 1966 home market car in right-hand drive, 3.8-litre form, one of just 9,717 such examples and, with the manual/overdrive gearbox, the most desirable S-Type configuration. This matching-numbers car suits its Regency Red paintwork, working well in combination with its wonderfully original red leather interior. One of most well-preserved interiors we’ve seen in a Jaguar saloon of this era, it's a splendid space to occupy, benefiting from newer carpets fitted some time ago.According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, it was manufactured on the 14th April 1966, and purchased by a Mr May, who owned it up until 1995, some 29 years, passing it on to his son who kept it until August 2021. It was originally produced in Golden Sand paintwork, but we understand was professionally restored/repainted in the 1990s (all areas of the engine bay and boot were painted well; there is no trace of the former colour). Bought by our vendor just last year, as he was just so taken with the one-family owner condition and sheer integrity of the car. Sadly, during the passing of time, the history file that once accompanied the car was misplaced and lost (the few pieces that remain include an MOT certificate from 1995 describing the car as ‘Maroon’).During the latter period of Mr May’s original ownership, we understand that the car was taken off the road and stored in a properly prepared garage for many years, being regularly run-up and cared for; its last MOT Certificate in 2003 shows a mileage of 35,129 miles (which is now just 35,400) with the car's overall condition suggesting this mileage is genuine. In the hands of our vendor, the car has been treated to some light recommissioning, and is said to drive and perform as it should. The 1990s restoration has held up very well, mellowing down with now a lovely honest patina in combination with untouched original elements. The paintwork retains a deep shine, whilst the underside is very solid and still retains a decent application of Waxoyl.Our vendor says the 3.8-litre engine always fires into life with three pumps of the throttle and a push of the starter button, with the automatic choke working well and cutting out once warmed. He goes on: "The car drives really well, it’s quiet and responsive and sounds just right through its stainless exhaust.”A fantastic way into first-time classic car ownership, this high-specification S-Type would be welcome at any classic motoring event. With Mk2 values now seeing some original examples out of the reach of many an enthusiast, the S-Type offers a more realistic chance of ownership. This extremely low-owner, highly useable ‘60s sports-saloon is worthy of any inspection and should offer many years of driving pleasure.

Recently refreshed, this sparkling Corniche soft-top has covered just over 32,000 miles.Beautiful Corniche in the rather stylish colour combination of Seychelles Blue over Magnolia hideA glamorous resident of New York for most of its life and returned to the UK in 2017A remarkably low 32,135 miles covered, supported by an American CARFAX reportAccompanied by its original handbooks, factory toolkit and jackThe recipient of a recently completed three-year recommissioning process, including a bare-metal repaint, a new mohair hood and full mechanical serviceFor the Corniche, the revered 6.75-litre aluminium-alloy V8 engine produces around 10% more power than standard, giving a top speed of more than 120 mph and sportscar-beating acceleration to matchThe two-door convertible version of the Silver Shadow has been, without a doubt, the most commercially successful convertible ever produced by Rolls-Royce. First introduced in 1966 as the ‘Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward Two-door, Drophead Coupe’, to give it its full title, the car was instantly in demand. When Rolls-Royce launched the two-door cars, the international jet-set began to clamour for attention at the dealerships. With waiting lists measured in years, these hugely desirable vehicles began to change hands at significant premiums over list price and one can imagine the hushed negotiations over the green baize of the gaming tables at Crockfords, the Palm Beach and Aspinalls. Customers who ordered the Drophead were not the same people who purchased the company's sensible saloons and the cars were frequently specified in bright colours and eventually it became apparent that this version deserved to have its own model name so, after a few cosmetic changes in 1971, the Corniche was born. The name originally comes from the French word for a coastal road, especially along the face of a cliff, most notably the Grande Corniche along the French Riviera above the principality of Monaco, and it was thought at the time that this new name would convey some of the style and glamour of Monte Carlo and, fifty years later, it still does. Rolls-Royce envisioned a time when owners would like to drive their own cars and the Corniche continued to be developed with this in mind and even had a rev counter fitted as standard. Around 10% more power was coaxed from the proven 6,750cc aluminium-alloy V8 endowing the two-door with a top speed in excess of 120 mph and sportscar-beating acceleration to match. Progressively developed, the Corniche received Rolls’ advanced split-level air conditioning system along with a re-designed fascia in 1976 - the first Rolls-Royce model to do so. A mild restyling was on the cards for the Spring of 1977 and the differences included rack-and-pinion steering, alloy and rubber bumpers, aluminium radiator, and oil cooler. Despite its sky-high asking price, the model proved a major success for Rolls-Royce; periodically revised and updated, it remained in production well into the 1990s, the last (Convertible) examples being delivered in 1995.The car presented here dates from 1983 and was personally imported by our car-collecting vendor in the Summer of 2017, having been a New York inhabitant for most of its life. Used sparingly, as most ‘Big Apple’ stately automobiles often are, it has covered just 32,135 miles. It's accompanied by its original handbooks, its factory toolkit and jack, a handful of receipts and an American CARFAX which supports the low mileage.Upon its arrival here, the car was fully serviced, MOT’d and UK registered. Whilst close inspection revealed it to be rust-free, there was evidence of some minor lacquer peel on a few areas of the bodywork. Subsequently, with the intention of keeping the car, the vendor commissioned it to be stripped to the bare metal and re-painted in its factory colour of Seychelles Blue whilst the coachlines were hand-painted in Magnolia to match the interior leather. The paintwork now presents in superb, better-than-new condition and is a sight to behold.Now, with this standard of bodywork, the car was treated to a completely new mohair hood with a matching lambswool inner lining. All the interior wood has been specialist re-veneered and lacquered, whilst the seats, although in excellent condition, have been professionally cleaned and refreshed. The car wears a set of new Avon Turbospeed white-wall tyres.Many thousands of pounds have been invested to make this Corniche one of the best available and it's accompanied by a full photographic record of its recommissioning by numerous specialists, a project that has taken three years and much expenditure to complete. Unsurprisingly, the car drives and performs as well as you’d expect, with all auxiliaries elements correctly working too.An unexpected change of circumstances regretfully means that our vendor must now part with his Corniche, a car he had aspired to own for several years, having sourced a very sound example and enjoyed the process of bringing back to its absolute best. Freshly MOT’d and always garaged since its renewal, this sparkling Corniche is the perfect addition to any collection of special motor cars.These beautiful convertibles have a timeless elegance and this delightful example looks superb in the head-turning colour combination of Seychelles Blue with blue-piped Magnolia hide and navy blue carpets. Anyone who saw one of these with the top down when they were first introduced would have found it difficult to conceive that an amalgam of steel, glass, Walnut and leather could have been formed into something so utterly desirable.(The registration ‘BEE 633’ is not included in the sale of the car but is available by separate negotiation).SpecificationMake: ROLLS ROYCEModel: CORNICHE CONVERTIBLEYear: 1983Chassis Number: SCAZD42A8DCX05830Registration Number: BEE 633Drive Side: Left-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

And still we find them. Chassis Number#90 in its original shade of Pearl Grey.‘Outside Bonnet Lock’ cars are often regarded as the Holy Grail of E-TypesFinished in its original shade of Pearl Grey with Black Smooth Interior and HoodA matching numbers example restored by Marque Specialist Rothwell Engineering, completed in 2020Restoration fresh with only shake-down miles covered since completionYour early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to satisfy yourself with regards to the stunning restoration that has gone into bringing 850090 back to life The story of the E-Type requires little introduction, however, what perhaps may need some explanation is the position in the market of the very early cars and their importance to collectors and marque enthusiasts alike. In common with Works of Art, Furniture, Philately, Fine Wines and all the other things people collect, the rarest and best quality items tend to attract collectors' interest and inevitably, the harder they are to find, the more expensive they can become. Should there be a number of well-heeled collectors chasing a particular painting, for example, then the result can be a serious clash of egos and wallets. This is equally true of Classic Cars and the E-Type is a perfect example. The most sought after of all the E-Types are the first 92 right-hand drive cars produced and these are easily distinguished by their outside bonnet locks.Having formed part of a private collection in recent years, this exceptional right-hand drive, outside bonnet lock  (OBL) roadster is finished in its original shade of Pearl Grey with a black interior and matching hood. One of the earliest E-Types produced, Chassis No #90 has had a no expense spared, ground-up restoration overseen by marque specialists, Rothwell Engineering, completed in 2020 and is a matching numbers example of one of the earliest E-Types produced. As you would expect, the standard of finish is exemplary and a true credit to the craftsmen that have been involved in rebuilding this British great. So fresh indeed is the restoration and with only settling in miles covered, it is suggested that a period of running-in be followed to achieve the very best from this beautifully rebuilt Jaguar. A rare opportunity to acquire what must be the Holy Grail of E Types and one that has been restored to within an inch of its life. Naturally, we encourage and welcome your inspection of this rare motor car. SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: E TYPE OBLYear: 1961Chassis Number: 850090Registration Number: 589 UYMTransmission: ManualEngine Number: R1476-9Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 62810 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black HideClick here for more details and images

Just over 20,000 miles and totally cossetted. A really lovely example.Supplied new  in 2006 by  Lookers Land Rover of Bishops StortfordDesirable ‘County’ specification finished in Java Black MetallicJust over 20,000 miles from new warranted by the service and MOT historyFull service in September 2021 @ 19,407 (oil and filter change, rear brake pads)New set of Michelin Latitudes (July 2019.) Chassis steam-cleaned and Waxoyled, November 2021.Full complement of handbooks and manuals, service and maintenance invoices and the original Bill of Sale from Lookers in 2006.The humble Land Rover Defender is one of life’s great classless cars, being favoured by all walks of life looking for a reliable go-anywhere, do-anything vehicle. From Royalty to land workers, from Kensington to Kyle of Lochalsh, you’ll be sure to find a Defender working away exactly as Solihull’s engineers designed it to do.Powered by a plethora of petrol and turbocharged diesel engines and boasting all-wheel-drive, low and high-range gearing, advanced suspension setups and a seemingly endless list of both factory and aftermarket customisation options, the Defender is rightfully referred to as the king of all production off-road vehicles, and remains both a design icon and a landmark part of automotive history to this day.Naturally, this rugged nature - whilst well suited to the Defender - usually means that by this point in their lifetime, many Defenders are looking a bit long-in-the-tooth, having been used to their fullest extent across harsh conditions, as work vehicles or as general reliable runabouts, rather than being cherished family heirlooms or taking pride of place in the garage.However, there are exceptions to this generalisation, and that’s exactly what we have here, with this 2006-registered, Td5-powered, short-wheelbase Land Rover Defender 90.First registered in 2006 and supplied by Lookers Land Rover of Bishops Stortford, this Java Black Metallic ‘County’ example has covered only 20,020 miles from new, and - according to the vendor - retains its original steel wheels, and has never knowingly been fitted with a towbar for haulage work.Boasting the desirable County pack which added some much-needed creature comforts to the utilitarian Defender’s interior, the grey cloth cabin remains virtually unmarked throughout, having evidently lived an easy life and having been cherished by the current owner, who states it is “like driving a new Defender off the lot” due to its immaculate condition.Not only is the interior in excellent condition, but so is the bodywork, with the Java Black Metaillic paintwork still presenting well all these years after it left the factory, and no outwardly visible signs of heavy wear to the bodywork, paint or bumpers.Mechanically, the Td5 engine fitted to this particular ’90’ is in reportedly rude mechanical health, having covered minimal mileage for this sort of vehicle and regularly serviced, with the most recent servicing having been carried out at 19,407 miles in September 2021, including an oil and filter change, new rear brake pads, and - importantly - a course of anti-corrosion under-body wax, which will ensure this Defender remains in excellent condition for years to come.In addition to the recent service, a full set of Michelin Latitude tyres were fitted in July 2019, whilst the chassis was steam-cleaned, waxed and oiled in November 2021. Included with the sale are the original dealership number plates (still affixed to the vehicle) along with the full complement of handbooks and manuals, extensive documentation of works carried out throughout the vehicle’s lifetime, and even the original Bill of Sale from Lookers in 2006.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDERYear: 2006Chassis Number: SALLDVB576A725205Registration Number: EK56 EZATransmission: ManualEngine Number: 15P35721B Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 20019 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: GreyClick here for more details and images
