A 1953 Jaguar XK120 Roadster, registration number PTT 304, pastel green, continuous family history from 1958. This original Devon registered XK has a fascinating history. The vendor's father knew the car from new when it was delivered to A C Bulpin in Newton Abbot in 1953. As a twenty year old mechanic, the price on the windscreen was way beyond his means, but move on five years and one change of owner and the young Mr Harrison was able to seal the deal and become the proud owner of the XK. The vendor's involvement with the Jaguar began in 1961 when he returned home from hospital as a babe in arms in the XK. The vendor's father competed with the Jaguar at various hill climbs and sprints in period including Wiscombe where he won fastest time of the day in 1966. Around the same time the engine was changed for a hot 3.8 litre version with a lightened fly wheel, wide sump, competition clutch, balance crank and polished and ported head. With a new engine installed, an experimental Tecalamit fuel injection system was installed by Martin Motors Workshop near Haldon. This was quite a set up for the day and which the vendor's father said was excellent when working well improving low down torque, but had a tendency to oil its plug up at tickover and this became troublesome in traffic. With commitments and a lack of garage space, the decision was taken to lend the Jaguar to the Totnes Motor Museum where it remained for several years. Fast forward to the late 1970s and the vendor was now taking a keen interest in the car. He persuaded his father to remove the Jaguar from the museum and recommission it. At this time, the decision was taken to remove the fuel injection system and reinstate a twin two inch SU set up. During the 1980s storage became a problem again with the car moving from a rented garage to barn until the vendor started working for the World of Country Life Museum and the Jaguar found a new home as an exhibit when it was not being used by the vendor on rallies and road runs. During the 1990s, the Jaguar was resprayed in its original pastel green, new wire wheels with stainless steel spokes were fitted and a disc brake conversion was installed. The car is now presented in a good useable state with a well patternated original green leather interior and still sports the hot 3.8 litre racing engine. This well maintained XK comes to the market for the first time in over 58 years. RF60, V5C See illustrations
Noel Rockmore (American/Louisiana, 1928-1995) , "David Amram, Composer", 1961, watercolor on paper, signed, dated, titled and localized "Fire Island" lower center, inscribed "Summer" upper right, 10 in. x 13 1/4 in., framed; ACCOMPANIED BY Life magazine article "Music-Making Swinger Close Up - David Amram, A Rising American Composer", by Diana Lurie. Note: David Amram is a world-renowned composer, multi-instrumentalist and author. Lifelong friend of Noel Rockmore, Amram and the artist met while young children on the shores of Harvey Cedars, New Jersey. Their paths would cross again when they both attended Putney School in Vermont, where Amram was in the same grade as Rockmore’s younger sister. At the time when the work offered here was created, Rockmore, when not in New Orleans, would frequent New York and visit Amram who was “at the heart of the ‘Beat’ movement with Alan Ginsburg, Larry Rivers, Jack Kerouac and many others.” Together, they would take trips to Fire Island where this watercolor was likely painted. In the early 1950s, Amram started his musical career playing the French horn in the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. An influential composer, Amram wrote the musical scores for films such as Splendor in the Grass and The Manchurian Candidate as well as the score for the Arthur Miller play After the Fall. From 1964-1966, he was Lincoln Center Theatre’s Composer and Music Director, and in 1966 he was the first New York Philharmonic Composer in Residence. Amram also authored three memoirs about his life, work, and collaborations with Jack Kerouac. Currently, he is still composing and working on a string orchestra version of his Greenwich Village Portraits. Ref.: David Amram - Noel Rockmore. Dir. Rich and Tee Marvin. Perf.
