1949 Land Rover Series I 80”Reg. no. LYA 65Chassis no. R8666199Engine no. 866091The spectacular success of the US Jeep during the Second World War and the meteoric rise in the popularity of four-wheel-drive vehicles that it caused did not go unnoticed by the people in charge at Rover at the end of the war. While other British car manufacturers put their old pre-war models back into production while working on conventional replacements, Rover bit the bullet and developed a four-wheel-drive – the pioneer in the British car industry. The Series One Land Rover was duly launched in 1948, with priority for initial purchases being given to remote farmers, vets and doctors – people who really needed the car’s go-anywhere ability. For many of these lucky customers, it would have been the first car they ever had, as nothing previously could go where the Land Rover could. Using a Rover passenger car engine and gearbox, parts were easy to come by. The early Land Rovers could also serve as tractors or be used to power a variety of equipment via a power take off. This versatility and practicality led to enormous popularity for the Land Rover, all over the world, for more than 70 years.Chassis no R8666199 was registered on 3/6/1949 in Crickleaze in Somerset. Evidence found during restoration suggests it may have been a garage run-around at some point in its life, as various colours of paint were found all over the vehicle along with numerous holes. When it came to the Melksham area in the 1980s, it had an aluminium hard top fitted. It then went to Warminster in 1989 then to Bristol in 2005. The restoration was carried out from 2005-2008 and during that time a new rear cross member, new gearbox cross member, and two new outriggers were fitted, and various other repairs were carried out to the original chassis. The bulkhead has had substantial repairs. The body was fitted with new front wings, door bottoms and rear tailgate, while the engine was refurbished by Series One engine specialist Cox and Turner. All other mechanicals were stripped, and any necessary parts replaced. Some parts were replaced with later items to ensure reliability and part availability, i.e. the brakes use Series 2 parts and the clutch assembly is the later type.The Engine number is 866091, gearbox 866126, front axle 866263. The rear axle is a replacement but the original corroded axle casing 863971 along with the original Rover flywheel and clutch, 3 nonadjustable brake back plates and various other spares will be included in the sale.Since being returned to the road in 2008 it has been used during the summer months as an everyday vehicle, and to attend vintage shows at venues all over the country, occasionally towing a vintage caravan. It has also been used for carrying awkward items, hence the rear is ply lined. It has always been well maintained and has recently been fitted with 4 new Avon Traction Mileage tyres. Sold with a V5c.

oak and ebonised oak, maker’s label verso THE RUSSELL WORKSHOPS BROADWAY/ DESIGNER GORDON RUSSELL/ FOREMAN EDGAR TURNER/ CABINET MAKER C TURNER DATE 1/11/28, with keys175cm wide, 181cm high, 57cm deepProvenance: From The Millinery Works Collection.Footnote: Note: Unlike his contemporaries, many of whom initially trained as architects, Gordon Russell was primarily self-taught. He and his father were acutely aware of the exciting hub of activity in the Cotswolds, led by pioneers such as C. R. Ashbee and Ernest Gimson; after witnessing unimaginable scenes of complete destruction after the First World War, Russell was determined to create furniture that would stand the test of time and be valued by generations to come. Together he and his father established Russell & Sons in 1922 and were advocates of the Arts & Crafts ideology as they sought to improve working conditions and provide educational opportunities for their workforce, whilst at the same time producing high-quality pieces that celebrated design and the craftsman. Clearly influenced by Gimson and Scandinavian modernism, out of Russell’s Workshops came simple, yet highly functional pieces, using the finest quality woods and showcases traditional craftsmanship. In 1947 Russell was appointed chairman of the Design Council and played a crucial role in the design and manufacture of Utility furniture in the post-war years which helped re-build the country.

DAMIEN HIRST (Bristol, UK, 1965)."Rocket", 2009.Acrylic on paper, sping painting.Features artist's wet stamp and dry stamp.Signed on the back.Measurements: 72,5 x 46 cm: 87,8 x 61 cm (frame).In 2007, Damien Hirst conceived his work "Beautiful Missiles and Rockets and Misery and General Bloody Destruction Painting", an abstract composition created through the technique of Spin Painting. It was from then on that he began to introduce the concept of the rocket in his production, in such a way that he materialized the idea, using the silhouette of the rocket and endowing its interior with a rich abstract coloring. Among other works, Damien Hirst is recognized artistically for his "spin paintings", such as the one shown here, which are paintings made on a rotating circular surface.Damien Hirst was born in Bristol on June 7, 1965, in a suburban environment with economic problems. He never knew his biological father and his mother married a car salesman, who left them when Hirst was 13. His mother, an amateur artist and devout Christian, took care of him, but because of his father's abandonment he had to be educated from the bottom up, which is perhaps the main reason why Damien Hirst argues that art is classless. He trained at the University of Leed while combining his studies with a job at the local mortuary, which he later abandoned to move to London. During this time he was working in construction and in turn applying to various art schools such as St Martins, or the faculty of Wales. He was finally accepted at Golsdmiths College, which, at the same time, and due to the economic recession in England, was a school that attracted bright students and creative tutors. While studying, Hirst financed his expenses by working on telephone surveys, a direct cause of his ability to fake any emotion over the phone. During his studies he also worked at McDonald's, and part-time at the Anthony D'Ofray gallery, where he learned the mechanics of the art market. Already in his second year of studies, Hirst, acquired the role of artist and curator, and managed to make an exhibition that would change the course of British art, it was his first solo exhibition with only 26 years. Four years later, in 1995, he won his second Turner Prize nomination for Mother and Child. At the age of 32, the Larry Gagosian Gallery offered him a major retrospective, after which he declared that he had no place left to exhibit, he had done it all and too fast. So soon the media baptized him with the name Hooligan Genius. Although he became a millionaire at the age of 40, Hirst's hypersensitivity became suspicious; wrapped in an aura of romanticism, he made revolutionizing the art world seem simple. On several occasions he has acknowledged his desire to be famous and in the face of criticism he has defended himself with phrases such as "they could not admit to themselves that they wanted to be famous and resented not being famous" or "I think my desire was to be more famous than rich, I think the desire to create art and be famous is like the desire to live forever two obsessions: death and celebrity". Damien Hirst has works in the MoMA in New York, the Tate Gallery and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Palazzo Gras in Venice, the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg (Germany), the Hirshhorn in Washington D.C. and the Neu Galerie in Graz (Austria), among other important public and private collections.

c. 1934 Ariel Square Four 4F project, 601cc. Registration number not registered. Frame number Y10517. Engine number WA133.Designed by the legendary Edward Turner, the Ariel Square Four was first shown at Olympia in 1930. Unique at the time of its introduction, the 'Squariel', as it was swiftly dubbed, featured a single block of four cylinders and twin geared-together crankshafts with pistons phased at 180 degrees. The crankcase was split horizontally, unusually for a motorcycle engine of the period, while the vertical valves were operated by a single overhead camshaft. A supercharged example was raced at the Isle of Man TT in 1931 without success, which was hardly surprising as its makers had envisaged the model as more of a luxury tourer than an out-and-out sports machine.Although launched as a '500', the Squariel was soon enlarged to 601cc with an eye on the important sidecar market, this bigger version being made available for the 1932 model year. In 1937 a total redesign saw it re-emerge as the Model 4G, with 995cc overhead-valve engine, making the Squariel an even more enticing prospect for sidecarists. Anstey-link plunger rear suspension became an option in 1939, but would not be offered again until 1946, when a telescopic front fork replaced the previous girder type. An exercise in weight shedding saw the cast-iron cylinder head and barrel replaced by alloy components for 1949, the revised model, now capable of 90mph-plus, being known as the Mark I. Introduced in 1953, the 'four pipe' MkII with redesigned cylinder head elevated the Square Four into the league of genuine 100mph motorcycles. Square Four production, along with that of all other Ariel four-strokes, ceased in 1959. To date, the innovative Ariel Square Four remains unique in motorcycling history; a true 'gentleman's motorcycle, this refined yet charismatic machine retains an enthusiastic and loyal following, and is highly prized by discerning enthusiasts.This rare project has been owned by our deceased vendor for many years, a project that he never got around to completing due to his untimely demise.Buyers should satisfy themselves as to the completeness of the project, one that is well worth undertaking.There is no paperwork with the project.

This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné being compiled by The Estate of Howard Hodgkin.Footnotes:ProvenanceAcquired from the artist by the present owner in 2001ExhibitedLondon, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Howard Hodgkin at Dulwich Picture Gallery, 2001, p. 25, illustrated in colourLiteraturePaul Levy, 'Hanging it Howard's way' in Evening Standard, 28 June 2001, p. 38, illustrated in colourM. Price (ed.), Howard Hodgkin: The Complete Paintings Catalogue Raisonné, London 2006, p. 336, no. 357, illustrated in colourFresh to the market, after remaining in the same collection since its acquisition from the artist in 2001, Out of the Window from 2000 is a dazzling and vibrant display of Howard Hodgkin's masterful practice. Hodgkin's virtuosic brushwork is exquisite and expressive, his choice of colour bold and unapologetic. Emerging from the Bath Academy of Art at Corsham in 1954 under the pupillage of William Scott, Hodgkin's early inspiration came in The New American Painting exhibition of Abstract Expressionist artists at the Tate Gallery in 1959: one cannot help but draw comparisons with Rothko's serene planes of colour or De Kooning's exaggerated brushstrokes. Yet he rejected the flatness of American Modernism, pushing the painting out of its frame and creating abstract depths of field that translate as windows onto a vivid and luscious landscape. Abstract at first glance, Hodgkin's paintings consistently deal with memory and psychic landscapes that are often exposed to the viewer most opaquely in their titles, such as Goodbye to the Bay of Naples, A Rainbow or Night Thoughts. He captures and transforms moments of intimacy, memories of travels, relationships, both erotic and platonic, the recollection of a beautiful view or sunset, shifting weather or the feeling of the first days of a new season. Hodgkin's close friend and writer Julian Barnes wrote: 'H.H.'s paintings are not narratives. Mostly, they are memories. But it is not a case of emotion recollected in tranquillity. Rather, it is emotion recollected in intensity. In that sense his pictures are operatic' (Julian Barnes, Keeping an Eye Open, London 2015, p. 260). Hodgkin was given his first solo show in 1962 at Arthur Tooth & Sons and his international appeal and career grew steadily from there. In 1984, he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, and the next year he was awarded the Turner Prize. In 1992, Hodgkin was knighted. A retrospective in 1995-96, organized by the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, travelled to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Dusseldorf, Germany. In 2000, Hodgkin was invited to exhibit ten recent works, the present painting included, alongside the permanent display in South London's Dulwich Picture Gallery. The exhibition sought to centre Hodgkin's practice as part of a longstanding history of painting. Influences in Hodgkin's work can be seen across centuries, including Henri Matisse, Albert Pinkham Ryder, Ellsworth Kelly, Pierre Bonnard and Les Nabis, as well as painterly dialogues with contemporaries such as David Hockney. At Dulwich Picture Gallery, the artist searched for roots and qualities in the works of the predominantly 17th Century museum collection that inspired him and nurtured his own practice. What Hodgkin was able to do, however, was establish a timelessness to abstract painting that emphasised the nature of painting – drawing attention to composition, colour, speed and execution, even the traditional moulded and gilt framing. Here, the pieces were not selected to highlight difference and encourage comparisons, but rather to show Hodgkin's in a renewed context and cast them in a deeply historical light. Out of the Window was placed between The Locksmith by a follower of Ribera and Guernico's St Cecilia. The work was also reproduced alongside a poem by James Fenton for a Tate poster to mark the opening of the Tate Modern in May 2000.In the present work, a rapturous rainbow of colour is composed in broad orchestral brushstrokes and confident strokes of vibrant jewel like paint, reminiscent of the colours of India, a country he would adore and return to throughout his life. The pigments intermingle, push, and pull on each other, instilling a sense of vivacity in its boisterous movement and energy. The size and shape of the antique oval picture frame – a less common format in Hodgkin's oeuvre – adds to the sense of a real window, transporting the work to a third dimension. Hodgkin made frames integral to his practice. He would fit the wooden panels to found old frames and treat them as one joint painting surface. With paintings residing in museums internationally, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museu de Arte Contemporanea de Sao Paulo, Brazil; and the Centro de Arte Moderna, Lisbon, this represents an opportunity to acquire a work of exceptional quality with wonderful provenance, by one of the most prominent and celebrated British painters of the modern era.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
