Diana of Gabii - a large Continental life size plaster figure, standing, before a trunk on a shaped oval base, 183cm high, early 19th Century This is a copy of the original marble which was excavated in 1792 from Bulargefe (Gabii) in Italy. It dates from around 1820. The original marble of Diana of Gabii was bought by Napoleon in 1807 and displayed in The Louvre in 1820 where it has remained ever since. Copies were made in composition which involved the construction of armatures of metal and hessian for strength and the body then modelled around them. Note how fine the modelling is and whilst it needs a little careful restoration it remains in fine original condition. A number of copies were made but it is doubtful whether many are still in existence today. This figure was found a few years ago in an old library in Belgium.

John Eyers (active 1849-1868)- still life of strawberries and grapes on a table, oil on panel, signed lower right, 31cm x 23cm, framed There is little known information regarding the 19th century artist John J. Eyers (active, 1849-1868). He exhibited four still-life paintings at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1868. At that time he listed his address as 108 South 4th Street, just down the street from Independence Hall in the historic district of Philadelphia, not far from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. His work resembles that of the German born still-life artist Severin Roesen. This has led to some speculation that Eyers may have been of German origin. (www.askart.com)

As far as historic rally cars go, Subaru Impreza WRC97001 is one of the most important ever made' (David Lilywhite - Octane magazine, May 2010) 'To many, the mid 1990s was the heyday of the Subaru World Rally Team. Following the drivers' and manufacturers' double in 1995 and a further manufacturers' title in 1996, the blue and yellow Impreza was rapidly becoming the icon of the championship and Colin McRae one of rallying's great stars. 1997 brought in a new era in the World Rally Championship, with the introduction of the appropriately named World Rally Car formula. While some continued to compete with what were predominantly modified Group A cars, the new FIA regulations provided an opportunity to bring new manufacturers into the championship, who otherwise were unable to homologate suitable road cars. At Prodrive we seized the opportunity, and while our Group A Impreza was already very competitive, we went back to the drawing board to develop a new two door Impreza World Rally Car from scratch. The engineering team, led by David Lapworth, spent 1996 developing the new car, and by the last event of the season, Rallye Catalunya, we were able to unveil our new car to the world's press. Whilst at this very same event, Colin McRae gave the Impreza Group A a fitting send off by winning the Spanish rally and clinching a second manufacturers' title for Subaru. Chassis 001 was the car we unveiled and used as our primary test and development car. It was thanks to the many hours Colin and the other drivers spent at its wheel, that when it came to the car's debut at Rally Monte Carlo in January 1997, Piero Latti was able to claim victory and help Subaru go on and win a third consecutive manufacturers' title' (David Richards - Prodrive, 2009) Taking full advantage of the new WRC rules, Lapworth and his team liberated considerably more power and torque from the Impreza's force-fed 1994cc engine but without sacrificing reliability. Occupying almost an entire inner wing the newcomer's huge airbox was complemented by a similarly enlarged intercooler that sat in front of, rather than atop, the charismatic flat-four thus minimising heat soak. The turbocharger itself was little altered but revised inlet / exhaust systems saw outputs increase to 300bhp and 347lbft of torque. The use of a two- rather than four-door bodyshell brought a notable increase in torsional rigidity, while the new regulations also allowed the McPherson strut suspension to have longer travel. Less reliant on computer control than its successors, the WRC97 fed power to all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and front / centre / rear differentials. Chassis 001 paved the way for its WRC97 sister cars to claim 119 stage wins and eight out of the fourteen World Rally Championship rounds between them. The eWRC-results.com website records Chassis 001 winning the 1998 Boucles de Spa Alphonse Delettre Rally in the hands of Gregoire de Mevius / Jean-Marc Fortin before being sold to Procar of Italy. Seemingly victorious on the Rali Vinho da Madeira, Rally Cyprus and Aviano Rally in 1999 that same year apparently saw it piloted by none other than nine-time motorcycle champion Valentino Rossi to eighth place on the Rally di Monza. The Subaru's accompanying FIA World Rally Car Technical Passport reveals that it contested the 1999 Acropolis Rally and 2001 Swedish Rally but retired from both due to mechanical failure. Driven on the latter event by Tomas Hrdinka / Petr Gross under the Styllex Tuning Prosport banner, the Impreza subsequently carried the duo to a handful of victories and podium placings. Rallied extensively in Ireland from 2002 - 2007, Chassis 001 proved competitive into its final season. Initially road registered as 'P555 WRC' but better known by its long-term moniker 'P18 WRC', the car had been given a superficial cosmetic refurbishment prior to entering the current ownership. Drawn to 'first editions', the vendor not only had Prodrive validate Chassis 001 but also commissioned them to restore it to 'original' condition (becoming the Banbury outfit's first heritage customer in the process). The car was renovated using only original SRT parts, many of which would be even more difficult to source today. Overseen by Prodrive sales manager Steve Smith and documented in an accompanying hardback book, the resultant rejuvenation remains highly impressive and a real credit to David Richards and his team. Acid dipping revealed that Chassis 001 had endured a busy rally life but amazingly still retained its original Prodrive bodyshell, which was painstakingly repaired by the same team who had fabricated it in 1996! Kevin Locke rebuilt the flat-four with a new stock closed-block and internals, plus the difficult to find SRT exhaust manifolds, after which it was set-up to run on super unleaded via a revised engine management map and suitable dyno testing. Fellow Prodrive staffer Darren Pentley overhauled the complete transmission and then tested it on Prodrive's unique transmission dyno before sign-off. A suitable handover ceremony marked the project's completion on 18th December 2009. The inscription in Chassis 001's restoration book from that day simply reads: "best wishes and congratulations on acquiring a very special car - David" The vendor sums up 'P18 WRC' as follows: "It's fantastic and nigh on bulletproof. Just fill up with 99 octane and launch. It's doubtful that there will ever be another Subaru rally car from the same period restored like this one if only because the correct SRT parts are so difficult to locate. Pattern parts might be produced in time but Chassis 001 is the real thing right down to the last detail" We can only echo his sentiments and invite you to buy an important part of motorsport history. The Impreza is currently looked after by McGeehan Motorsport - www.mcgeehanmotorsport.com - and Derek McGeehan is happy to talk to prospective purchasers about the car or indeed provide future maintenance.

That W O Bentley was a technical mastermind is not in dispute, yet his career left so many unanswered questions. What if Bentley Motors had survived the depression? What if the war had not interrupted his period at Lagonda and the company had remained independent? More specifically, could a W O-designed Lagonda sports car have won Le Mans in 1949? John Weatheritt built a car that went some way towards answering the latter. In 1969 he acquired a derelict 1949 Lagonda Drophead Coupe for spares, but decided to resurrect it as light two-seater that W O might just have built for the 1949 race at La Sarthe, had the opportunity arisen. Bearing in mind the post-war restrictions that would've limited Bentley's options, Weatheritt only modified his donor car where essential, and only used materials and methods that would have been available in period. Ultimately the changes to the Drophead were limited to: moving the radiator forwards and downwards, lowering the spring rates front and rear to suit the reduction in weight, and altering the steering column rake. Narrow bodies and separate wings were still in vogue in 1949, so it seemed reasonable to echo the lines of the pre-war V12 Lagonda, and he constructed a 0.5 inch diameter 16 gauge tubular steel frame as the support for the new alloy body. He sought advice from key former Lagonda employees Frank Feeley and Donald Bastow. The product of Weatheritt's labours was 9cwt lighter than the standard car so, with 123bhp on tap from the original Vantage engine, it had a favourable power-to-weight ratio. The steering proved to be 'light, sensitive and accurate, the ride comfortable, and the handling superb'. Having ultimately competed in 'JDF 47' and driven it all over Europe he felt that a Le Mans win could just have been possible. His wonderful hybrid Lagonda is now available to enrich another enthusiast's motoring life.

When unveiled in September 1955, what we now know as the MKI was dubbed the Jaguar 2.4 Litre - the MKI moniker being a subsequent invention to distinguish the early car from the MKII version that replaced it in 1959. The newcomer was Jaguar's first unitary construction model and was sized to compete with the Humbers, Standards and Rovers that were dominating the post-war sector for middle-weight executive Saloons. As the original name suggested, the MKI was only initially available with a 2.4-litre version of the company's ubiquitous XK engine; the 3.4-litre option not appearing in the US for another 17 months, and later still in the home market. Both variants proved popular over the model's five year reign, with the MKI eventually accounting for just over half the combined sales of 37,397. Its performance was pretty impressive too, and Motor magazine's 1956 test returned a top speed of 101.5mph and 14.4 seconds for the 0-60mph sprint. A distinguishing feature of the model was its narrow rear track (it's 4.5 inches less than the front one) which though, probably incorrectly, was felt to create understeer at low speeds, endowed the Jaguar with impressive straight line stability. The righthand drive sale car vacated Jaguar's Browns Lane plant in 1959 and is thought to have spent its early life in South Africa, finally returning to these shores in 1990. The engine and carburettors have been overhauled in the last 12 months and the vendor now classes the bodywork as 'excellent'; the six-cylinder engine, Ivory-coloured paintwork and Burgundy leather interior trim as 'very good'; and the four-speed manual transmission as 'good'; and says 'TAS 905' runs and drives very well'. The car's odometer currently registers an unwarranted 32,200 miles and the Jaguar is being sold complete with a history file containing various items of paperwork and old MOTs etc.
