Basil Blackshaw HRHA RUA (1932-2016)Drumaness MillOil on canvas, 29.5 x 23.5cm (11½ x 9¼'')Basil Blackshaw studio label signed by the artists daughter versoProvenance: The artist's studio and thence by descentWith the exception of the painting 'The Wall' (Lot 134) we have little or no body of work here to evaluate what Basil described to me as his 'existentialist' period particularly from the late '90s onwards when his output became increasingly psychological and preoccupied with the demons which he fought for decades namely drink.During the late years Blackshaw revealed more what was somewhat eclipsed in his work up until then. 'The Windows series hanging in IMMA and 'The Wall' one of which is part of this sale are mirrors into Basil's soul. In a conversation with the artist on a dark dank afternoon in the front room of his County Antrim home Basil expanded on paintings like 'Corner of a Room' 'The Window Series and 'The Wall paintings.He said: where we sit here we are surrounded by walls. When we look out there through the window we realise we are surrounded by stone walls/ditches. We look further out and we see the hills and beyond these are the mountains These are physical walls over which it would be difficult to jump. There are other walls. They are walls in our heads, psychological walls, the craving for alcohol, money, wealth power and so on.So we live with physical walls all around us and walls in our heads all the time the artist concluded. Basil Blackshaw like so many other creative spirits wrestled with his demons for so many years openly accepting he was a 'recovering alcoholic. Whoever buys 'The Wall' is purchasing a self portrait of the artist and potentially a self portrait of him or herself.

1967 Volkswagen Kombi Riviera Camper Van - One previous owner in USA - Imported to UK in 2003 and then comprehensively restored by Wolfsburg VWs - Featured in VolksWorld magazine in 2004, Teak interior Volkswagen Type 2 camper vans are not common or garden fare, they are a lifestyle on wheels, beloved by generations of all manner of outdoor-oriented folk from hippies to surfers and those who simply enjoy, well, camping. They exude character in a way modern people carriers can only dream of and will continue to appreciate in value. All this and more was what led the vendor to go searching for a Splitscreen example to enjoy with his wife and baby boy. An advert by Wolfsburg VWs - Type 2 Specialists caught his eye back in 2003 and a call revealed they had imported 'HCK 101E' from San Diego and were in the process of comprehensively restoring it. It turned out to be a left-hand drive, rust-free, 1967 1500 van with Riviera camper conversion that had had just one American owner from new, and came with all its original paperwork - it was exactly what the vendor was looking for and so has owned ever since. Wolfsburg left no stone unturned - all the mechanical components received attention, from engine to gearbox and steering to brakes etc. The body was treated to a bare metal respray in Pearl White and the interior was completely refurbished in oak-veneered board (in place of the original cheap veneered plywood) and Red upholstery. Westfalia-style roof racks were affixed to the top and an up-to-date sound system cunningly installed below the facia. The result was clearly stunning and suitably enthusiastically reported upon in the January 2004 issue of Volksworld magazine. These days the vendor classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, flat-four engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'good' condition, while the odometer currently displays an unwarranted 85,700 miles. Splitscreen Type 2 Vee Dubs with just two owners from new are a major rarity - especially in this condition.

1967 Porsche 911 S After a lengthy gestation period, the now ubiquitous Porsche 911 entered production in 1964 and, despite Porsche's own attempts to replace the model with the 928 in the 1970s, much evolved versions of it remain in production to this day. The design was the work of Dr Ferry Porsche's eldest son, Ferdinand Alexander 'Butzi' Porsche and the company's joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Komenda Introduced in late 1966, the 911S featured a more powerful version of its standard sibling's air-cooled 1991cc flat-six engine. Credited with developing 160bhp and 132lbft of torque thanks to a reprofiled camshaft, higher compression ratio, larger valves, better porting, and bigger carburettor jets etc, the newcomer also benefited from a rear anti-roll bar, Koni shock absorbers, vented disc brakes and unsprung weight saving Fuchs five-spoke alloy wheels. With a 7,300rpm redline and evenly spaced gears (the exception being a notably tall fifth which permitted 100mph @ 4,200rpm), it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8 seconds and 137mph. Able to humble more exotic machinery on road or track, the 2+2-seater could also catch out the unwary. Though, Car and Driver magazine commented: 'All told, Porsche's admonition, "not for the novice" is a bit gratuitous. Within normal driving limits and with reasonable caution, the 911S handles predictably, controllably, and head and shoulders above practically anything else on the road'. Autocar magazine were similarly impressed remarking that: 'The Porsche 911S is a car one never likes to leave parked when one could be driving it'. We cannot recall ever having been offered a stunning, Sand Beige short wheelbase Porsche 911 S before, and having a matching pair in the same sale is probably an unprecedented occurrence for any auction house. This one is the most remarkable of the two cars, however, in that it is completely original and has never been restored. A left-hand drive example, it was sold new to the USA where it was delivered to a William G Cooper of Dallas Texas in the Autumn of 1967. Mr Cooper evidently campaigned it regularly in motor club events such as the Porsche Parade of 1969 in California. It was in 1979 that he passed it on to a friend from Florida, Calvin Anstey, who retained the Porsche until 2014, at which point it was acquired by its current keeper. The car still wears its factory applied paint which is in 'very good' condition, if arguably slightly reduced in thickness after years of being polished. A few touched in stone chips add to the endearing patina. The Black leatherette interior is equally original and the panel gaps as per factory specification. The indicated mileage is an unwarranted but highly credible (1)12,000 miles. This 'matching numbers' 911 comes complete with good documentation including Porsche Classic certificate and original service book. Its previous owner treated the car to regular use and serviced it as required, thus keeping it mechanically sound. The most recent keeper had the carburettors cleaned and adjusted together with the ignition, changed some of the rubber fuel lines, overhauled the brakes and part of the suspension and undertook a comprehensive service. Amazingly, no further attention was required and the Porsche recently completed a 1000mls Alpine tour free of any issues. Early 911s have been strong currency for some time now. Many solid short wheelbase chassis have been snapped up by the classic rally fraternity, further diminishing the already small pool of original road cars. The opportunity to purchase an example of the much sought after 911 S version in as original condition as this one is therefore a potentially very exciting one for Porsche enthusiasts everywhere, and we imagine the bidding will be hard fought.
