THE GOLDEN PEACOCKby Sian Storey1450 mm long x 920 mm high x 700 mm deep, 36 kg This BookBench celebrates the famous cover of the 1894 edition of Pride and Prejudice, known as the Golden Peacock cover, wrapping peacock feathers around the design and framing it with tropical blossoms. It explores the artist's ongoing interest in the beauty of nature, lavish colour and exotic patterns. Sian StoreySian is a Basingstoke based artist who is passionate about paint. Her work sits somewhere between fact and fiction. The fact parts of her paintings are the recognisable things - birds, animals and women. The fiction part is the vibrant colour, spray paint mists, pattern, blossoms, brush marks and layers in her paintings. Sian's process is deliberate as she is drawn to mythology and folklore. She enjoys stories of familiar things that have dreamlike qualities and she thrives on imagination. Sian mainly works from found images, and is particularly drawn to colour, ethnic pattern, flora and fauna, and beautiful pictures. She keeps scrapbooks of images and photos she has collected on her travels and these are directly referenced in her paintings. Her tools vary depending on the type of image she is making, although her favourite tools are a spray can and a paintbrush. Sian also uses decorative ethnic papers to collage into her work.In the past two years alone, Sian's work has been featured in the Independent on Sunday newspaper, The Metro newspaper, as well as the BBC website, the Telegraph website, the Guardian website and the Time Out London blog. She is a versatile artist with experience of working on large scale projects such as stage sets and murals. Recent projects include work for The Green Party, Hampton Court Palace and Marwell Zoo.

UFX 61 stayed in his ownership until 1989 when purchased by the second owner, a Mr Martin Wills of Shaftesbury, Dorset, who retained the car until 1997. During his ownership the decision was made to carry out a total ground up restoration of the car. This work was started but unfortunately after a long time and considerable expenditure due to ill health the car was not completed and sold unfinished to its third owner in 1997, a Mr Silvey of Poole. His subsequently completed the restoration between 1997 and 2003. Finished in white with red interior, it has only been used for club meetings and outings and has been exhibited on the Hillman Owner's Club stand at the prestigious NEC classic car show in Birmingham.
