Aaron Bohrod (American/Wisconsin, 1907-1992), "Silver Horse, Golden Horse", 1977, oil on panel, signed lower right, titled and dated on artist label and handwritten inscription "Bradley Galleries - June 1977" en verso, 8 in. x 10 in., framed; accompanied by copy of Bradley Galleries, Milwaukee, WI receipt and The Milwaukee Journal article "Bohrod Wizardry, at 70, He's Still Fooling the Eye", Feb. 5, 1978. Provenance: Bradley Galleries, Milwaukee, WI, 1977; thence by descent. Note: The 1950s marked a shift in Aaron Bohrod’s artistic style. While originally employing much looser brushstrokes and focusing on grander scenes of quintessential American life, Bohrod shifted to the tight precision of trompe l’oeil paintings, a style he was so successful at executing that his works would often be accompanied by insistent “do not touch” signs when on exhibition. In the lot presented here, Bohrod’s exquisite attention to detail is on full display in the crisp quality of this trompe l’oeil still life of two toy horses. The work is almost photographic in terms of composition, with a close crop on the figures pinned amongst paint blobs and cutout graphics, the whole of which coalesces into a cryptic shrine invoking childhood and its associated frivolity.

Levi Wells Prentice (American/New York, 1851-1935), "Still Life of Two Baskets of Peaches", oil on canvas, signed lower right, 11 in. x 16 in., framed. Provenance: Taylor Clark, Fine Prints, Paintings and Framing, Baton Rouge, LA, 1986; Estate of Stephen G. Henry, Baton Rouge, LA. Note: Self-taught artist Levi Wells Prentice began his career painting landscapes in the Adirondack Mountains. It was not until his move to Brooklyn in 1883 that he created the first of his celebrated still life paintings. From there, he developed his characteristic style of hard line, hyper-realistic works of fruit, typically apples, spilling forth from containers onto wooden tabletops. In the lot offered here, Prentice painstakingly depicts lush peaches lying haphazardly on a table as if recently tumbled from their simple wooden basket. The artist’s impressive ability is showcased in the interplay of the details of the fruit, leaves, and the highly texturized surface of the container.

c.1930s Morgan Three Wheeler- c.1930s Morgan Three-Wheeler restoration project with Matchless V-Twin engine and Super Sports-style body - Abandoned on the vendor's farm over twenty years ago - Offered for sale at no reserve and without documentation This Morgan Three-Wheeler has lain unclaimed on the vendor's farm for over twenty years. The number plate it wears - 'APH 322' - is still recorded on the DVLA and HPi databases but is associated with the chassis number 'D363'. Whereas, the number visible on its torque tube seems to read either '89' or '68'. Thus, it is possible that this lot has no claim to the registration number 'APH 322' especially as chassis 'D363' began life as a Family (4-seater) model. By contrast chassis '89' was built as a Sports (2-seater) model. The Morgan Three Wheeler Club have told us they would support an application to the DVLA for chassis '89' (or chassis '68') to be allocated an age-related registration number provided that the Morgan was 'rebuilt with appropriate period parts'. In need of extensive restoration, the Three-Wheeler appears to be fitted with a water-cooled Matchless V-twin engine (MX2/673) and separate three-speed manual gearbox. Sporting a `barrel back' body, it is self-evidently incomplete. Nevertheless, this 'barn find' Morgan has the makings of a worthwhile project. Offered for sale with sundry spares but no documentation. PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by Martyn Webb, the Morgan Motor Company's archivist with the following information: 'The description that you have given is mostly correct although the engine number quoted (MX2/673) is for an air-cooled overhead-valve Matchless, whereas the engine illustrated has water-cooled barrels, (MX2 was air-cooled, MX4 was water-cooled), so it would seem that the engine has been altered in the past. According to our chassis records; MX2673 was originally fitted to chassis number D1704 which was a Super Sports model, despatched on 11th November 1936 to Jordan & Co, the Morgan dealer in Hull. 'APH 322' is a Surrey registration, so it is unlikely that this was originally allocated to chassis D1704. The body is a Super Sports model from the mid-1930s, so it may be that the engine is original to the body, albeit fitted with water-cooled barrels'. PLEASE NOTE: The Morgan Three-Wheeler Club have recently been in touch to say that they do not think this lot has a claim to the registration number 'APH 322', the corresponding logbook for which was apparently sold on eBay in 2006.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT
Lot 23
c.1968 Hillman Imp Californian- Warranted 82 miles from new! - Original paint, upholstery and engine etc - An unrepeatable opportunity for Imp enthusiasts everywhere Launched in 1963, the Imp was the Rootes Group's counter to the already ubiquitous Mini. It was manufactured in the tiny town of Lindwood, Scotland and designed by Michael Parks and Tim Fry. The result was decidedly innovative and reportedly the first mass-produced car equipped with an all-alloy engine and the first volume-made British one to have its powerplant mounted in the rear. The upmarket Super Imp variant arrived in September 1965, co-incident with the MKII version of the standard car. It brought additional brightwork; over-riders; dummy front grille; wheel trims; full carpet; added sound-proofing; and a generally upgraded interior, including door-operated courtesy lights and integral ashtrays. Launched in late 1966 with the slogan 'Hallo Beautiful - meet the Imp with the fast-back look', the Californian also sported a raked windscreen, lowered roof line, dropped steering column and curved side windows for increased shoulder room etc. The work of in-house stylist Ron Wisdom, its svelte lines hid a revised front suspension set-up (less positive camber and reduced ride height) that resulted in more predictable / exploitable handling. Some £71 more expensive than its Saloon sibling, the handsome Coupe accounted for circa 6,100 domestic sales before production ceased in 1970. Thought to be unique, this particular example - chassis B401006507HCO - has covered just 82 miles from new! A former demonstration model, the Hillman has yet to be road registered (a process which The Imp Club could doubtless facilitate if a valid MOT certificate were obtained for the car). Finished in Forest Green with Green vinyl upholstery, the diminutive four-seater Coupe unsurprisingly still retains its original engine. Starting readily during our photography session (October 2017) and benefiting from a recent brake overhaul, this timewarp Californian is quite simply amazing and represents an unrepeatable opportunity for Imp enthusiasts everywhere! PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by a member of the Hillman Imp Club who believes that this Californian was previously sold via a BCA auction on July 31st 2004 at which time its odometer showed just 40 miles. The associated catalogue description stated that the four-seater had not only been 'purchased new in 1968 by a somewhat eccentric aircraft engineer' but also 'remained in storage for the majority of its life'. BCA quoted a registration number of 'MDP 248F' but noted that the Hillman was not registered with the DVLA and lacked any registration documents. The vendor was told by his late father who acquired the Imp for their family collection that it was a former demonstration model that had never been registered. However, he is prepared to accept that it might be the ex-BCA car if only because the odds of two such ultra-low mileage, Forest Green Californians still existing must be slim indeed! The seller is happy to warrant the present odometer of 82 miles as representing the total covered from new and considers that the car's condition and originality speak for themselves.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT
Lot 31
1990 Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4- 2 private keepers & just 15,843 miles from new- Complete with original book pack with all handbooks plus service book- Described as 'excellent' with regards to the bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and manual five-speed gearboxReleased in the September of 1982, the Ford Sierra was a replacement for the ubiquitous Cortina and its German sibling, the Taunus. The aerodynamic styling was arguably ahead of its time and caused initial controversy - one eminent UK journalist nicknaming it the 'jelly mould'. Ford had the last laugh, however, with sales eventually reaching 1,299,993 units over the 11 years of production; making it Britain's 10th most popular car up to that time.Always quick to support the performance and motorsport markets, Ford introduced the be-winged XR4i in 1983. This was followed by the XR 4x4 in 1985, the Sierra RS Cosworth in 1986, the Sierra RS500 Cosworth in 1987, the Sierra Sapphire in 1988 and the Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4 in 1990; some 12,250 of which were manufactured before Ford's power mantle was assumed by the Escort RS Cosworth in 1992. Though the 4x4 Sapphire never managed to emulate the two-wheel drive Cosworth's victory in a round of the World Rally Championship (Corsica, 1988), it nevertheless become a popular and successful weapon in national events, and examples are still contesting club rallies to this day.The immaculate example offered is understood to have started life as a showroom demonstrator and has only covered 15,843 miles to this day. Following periods in the care of St Helens Ford and then Corner Ford of Coventry, it was the property of a Mr Nigel Leek of the same city from 1990 until acquired by the vendor in 2007. Equipped with Bosch Green injectors and a ceramic clutch, the Cossie is presently considered by its vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, White paintwork, Black interior trim, 2-litre engine and manual five-speed gearbox. He is now offering it complete with original book pack with all handbooks plus service book, collection of old invoices, tax discs and MOT certificates, plus one valid into August 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT
