This fabulous C2 Corvette is totally correct, superbly original and a rare find.St Louis-built in 1965, imported to the UK from the US in 1988 and supplied to Claremont CorvetteSuperbly finished in Goldwood Yellow, a one-year only factory colourSimply fabulous left-hand drive C2 cockpit in black leather and chromeFitted with the desirable 327ci (5.4-litre) Turbo-fire V8 producing 300bhp and a 4-speed manual boxJust 47,645 miles from new and predominantly unrestoredMany original features including the rare and collectable factory radioMultiple award winning car and also magazine featured. Pleasingly a wealth of trophies accompany the carWith our vendor since 2012. Detailed history file with many receipts and old MOTsNow in its seventh generation, the Corvette began life in 1953 with the C1, a model that inspired a generation of young Americans and gave the Ford Empire a nine-year headache. However it was the C2 the immortal Sting Ray product produced between 1963 and 1967, that really set Chevrolets cash registers ringing and left us with the most desirable and collectable Corvette to date. Designed by Larry Shinoda and under the guidance of the legendary Bill Mitchell, influences on the Sting Ray’s unique and unforgettable form are said to include the E Type, a Mako Shark once caught by Mitchell, the Q Corvette concept car of 1957 and the Mitchell Sting Ray design exercise. By the Autumn of 1959, elements of the two unique Corvettes had been built into XP-720, the design programme that led to the production of the Sting Ray (later changed to Stingray) as we know it.1965 UR, originally registered here as JGU 31C arrived in the UK in 1988 from Newburgh in Indiana, shown by the original US Title documentation in the history file, and being a 1965 model was fitted with the newly available, four-wheel disc brakes and power steering. Finished in Goldwood Yellow with Black leather interior, this colour was only available for one year only making this car even more desirable and collectable. This delectable Sting Ray has won many Club and Concours awards in the States and over here in the UK and a large number of these trophies will remain with the car. It’s been featured many times in magazines including a 7-page spread in Classic and Sports Car, June 2014.Supplied with a comprehensive history file showing the care and expense lavished on this special motor car, and includes 20 old MOT Certificates, the current MOT valid until November 2021 with No Advisories, many old Tax Discs and a plethora of invoices from both suppliers and garages. A recent addition to the car was a complete set of five brand new wheels at huge expense and indicative of our fastidious vendor’s attention to detail. A lovely feature is the original, fully working dashboard radio fitted from new which we are told rarely work in these cars and to replace, if you can find one, are around £1,500.This is a simply delightful example of a C2 Sting Ray in a rare and attractive colour. It may not be everyone’s choice of Sixties Classic and it definitely wouldn’t suit a ‘shrinking violet’ but it’s an iconic and powerful sports car that does everything that Italian exotics do, but at a third of the price. Things don’t fall off, you won’t need a trickle charger, a cambelt change every three days or a bloke with a BSc. to change the plugs and, when we are finally allowed out again, you can ‘woofle’ down the High Street on a sunny afternoon and people will look at you and think California and Fonzie and ‘Happy Days', and they’ll feel better.SpecificationMake: CHEVROLETModel: CORVETTE C2Year: 1965Chassis Number: 194375S113341Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 5113341Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 47700 MilesMake: Only LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

David Bowie interest. An Issey Miyake two piece suit from the deceased estate of one Steve Strange of Visage. Worn and discarded by Bowie at Steve Strange's London night club The Blitz Club in 1982. Provenance: Steve found out Bowie was going to attend his club that night, they had a way to get him in a different entrance (To the rear) and with that, him and his small entourage would go to his office where they could meet, hang and chat.. Apparently, Bowie was not in the best of shapes, so didn't want to been seen or have a fuss made of him! Although able to speak, laugh etc... he was a little clumsy, it was when he sat down in a slump, that the insides of his Cigarette or Spliff, fell out on to this suit, burnt the pocket along with a few other areas, he then asked his female assistant to go fetch him the bag/suitcase from the car in order for him to change, which Steve said was basically another suit jacket and trousers. The damaged suit was basically discarded, placed on the floor near his couch and forgotten about, until later that night where Steve put it in a leather bag of his and took it home to do something with.

Étienne Bréton und Pascal Zuber, Boilly le peintre de la société parisienne de Louis XVI à Louis-Philippe, Paris, Arthena, 2019, Bd. II, S. 516, Nr. 239P.Unser Gemälde ist im Boilly-Werkverzeichnis von Henry Harrisse und im neueren, 2019 publizierten Katalog von Étienne Bréton und Pascal Zuber verzeichnet. In der Auktion vom 2.12.1795 ist das Bild folgendermassen beschrieben: "Eine Familienszene. Sie zeigt in einem Wohnungsinterieur zwei junge Frauen an einem Schreibtisch, eine von ihnen hat einem kleinen Boten einen Brief übergeben. Daneben hält ein sitzendes Kind einen Hund zurück, der den Boten zu bedrängen scheint. Dieses feingemalte Bild ist von frischer Farbigkeit und mit der Sorgfalt und Wahrhaftigkeit ausgeführt, die man in den Werken dieses Malers findet."Unsere Leinwand lässt sich mit La visite reçue (Saint-Omer, Musée de l'Hôtel Sandelin, Bréton-Zuber, op. cit., Nr. 65 P) von 1789 und Messager (Standort unbekannt, Bréton-Zuber, op. cit., Nr. 113 P), um 1789/93 gemalt, vergleichen, die ebenfalls einen jungen Savoyarden darstellen, der jungen Damen einen Brief übergibt. Boilly ist der wichtigste Vertreter dieser Art alltäglicher Genre-Szenen, die in dieser Zeit auch von Marguerite Gérard (1761-1837), Michel Garnier (1753-1829) oder Martin Drolling (1752-1817) ausgeführt wurden. Um kleinformatige Szenen von extremer Präzision zu malen, greift Boilly auf Vorbilder der holländischen Feinmalerei des 17. Jahrhunderts zurück, die Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts in Frankreich sehr beliebt waren. Dies offenbart auch ein Vergleich unseres Werkes mit dem berühmtem Brief von Gérard Ter Borchs in der Sammlung Queen Elisabeths II. im Buckingham Palace.Der Gegensatz zwischen dem blonden, in modischem Samt gekleideten Jungen im Vordergrund und dem kleinen Boten, der eher rustikal angezogen ist, könnte auf soziale Ungleichheiten der Pariser Gesellschaft zu Beginn der Directoire-Zeit hinweisen. An dieser Stelle gilt es auch, auf die beeindruckende Feinheit und den Glanz der Stoffe hinzuweisen, die für Boilly typisch sind. Die in dieser Epoche sehr teure Seide spiegelt dabei den sozialen Status der jungen Damen, unterstreicht deren Schönheit und erzeugt eine warme und intime Atmosphäre.Notre tableau est répertorié dans le catalogue raisonné de Boilly par Henry Harrisse et aussi dans le plus récent publié en 2019 par Étienne Bréton et Pascal Zuber. À la vente du 2 décembre 1795, le tableau est décrit comme suit : " Une scène familière. Elle offre, dans un intérieur d'appartement, deux jeunes femmes près d'un bureau ; l'une d'elles vient de remettre une lettre à un petit commissionnaire. Près de là un enfant assis retient un chien qui paroît (sic) menacer le messager. Ce tableau, précieux de touche, est coloré avec fraîcheur, & exécuté avec le soin & la vérité qu'on trouve dans les ouvrages de cet artiste. " Notre toile est à rapprocher de La visite reçue (Saint-Omer, musée de l'Hôtel Sandelin, Bréton-Zuber, op. cit., n°65 P) de 1789 et du Messager (localisation inconnue, Bréton-Zuber, op. cit., n°113 P) réalisés vers 1789–1793, représentant aussi un jeune savoyard distribuant du courrier à des jeunes femmes. Boilly est le meilleur représentant de ce type de scènes de genre du quotidien, également traitées à son époque par Marguerite Gérard (1761-1837), Michel Garnier (1753-1829) ou encore par Martin Drolling (1752-1817). Il repend la manière fine hollandaise Fijnschilders du 17è siècle, très à la mode en France à la fin du 18e siècle, pour réaliser des scènes de petits formats, détaillées et d'une extrême précision. En témoigne le rapprochement de notre tableau avec La Lettre de Gérard Ter Borch, de sujet identique, réalisé vers 1660 et conservé dans la collection de la reine Elisabeth II à Buckingham Palace. L'opposition entre le garçon blond, habillé à la mode, vêtu de satin, montrant du doigt son petit chien, et probablement destiné aux études de son âge, avec le porteur de la lettre, plus rustique, qui a déjà un " petit métier " indique les inégalités de la société parisienne en ce début de l'époque Directoire. On notera ici le soin accordé au rendu chatoyant des étoffes typique de Boilly. Ces soieries, très chères à l'époque, indiquent aussi le statut social de ces jeunes femmes, tout en soulignant leur beauté et en donnant une atmosphère chaleureuse et intime.

λ Helen Brough (British 20th/21st century)Lightscapes - Rose Pink - Mars BlackOil on aluminium Signed, titled and dated 2019 (verso)100 x 100cm (39¼ x 39¼ in.)This series of Lightscapes is an aesthetic exploration into how subtle light is perceived by our eyes and interpreted as different colours. Helen Brough graduated from the Chelsea School of Art and was awarded the Arts Council Grant in 2020. Brough has exhibited internationally in New York, Sweden and the USA. This current body of work was exhibited with the Nordic Art Agency in Malmo, Sweden in 2019. "My subject matter is nature, whether it is about light, landscape or a flower I am inspired by the natural world. What I am seeking is not the real or the unreal but something intangible".Curator's Comment I This large scale piece by Brough deserves to be a feature in the interior. The angles and rectangular window at the centre of the piece draws the eye. The fact the piece is on aluminium gives it an industrial effect and it would suit the materials used in a kitchen encouraging the impact of the piece.
