Classic Motoring Art

We have a number of signed original artist's proofs ( prova d'artista ) by the established Italian motor racing artist Francesco Scianna. These are the original proofs returned to the artist for minor alterations prior to production of a limited edition run of prints. Each proof differs slightly from the others ( possibly not easy to see in my photographs ) and are therefore all unique and are rarely available on the open market. Each proof is signed personally by the artist. The scene appears to depict racing from the 1950's with a Jaguar XK120 and Jaguar D-Type in evidence.

Francesco Scianna is from Padua in Italy and is an accomplished and well recognised artist known best for his Impressionist motor racing scenes from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

The proofs are not currently framed and are mounted in protective heavy paper sleeves. The price includes free postage anywhere in the UK in protective tubes.

The sizes are 295mm x 420mm

2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 with only 9500 miles ! 2007 was the first production year of the modern GT500 and in my opinion the purest ‘unadorned’ design of the ‘relaunched’ Shelby Mustangs. This is the sort of specification car you have probably dreamed of, but never thought you would actually find in the UK or Europe. Probably the most striking colour combination of Torch red with the twin White stripes and Black leather interior. Registered BRAND NEW in the UK in 2007 and has so far only covered a total of 9,500 miles from new in the hands of the first private owner and then myself ( I purchased the car from him in 2014 as a 50th birthday present to myself ). It has the usual Shelby specification of the supercharged hand-built 32 valve 485 BHP 5.4 litre V8, 6-speed Tremec manual gearbox, power steering, traction control, cruise control, ABS braking, unmarked original factory Shelby 18” alloy wheels, ice cold air-conditioning, electric driver seat, electric mirrors, electric windows, fitted factory car mats, fitted Shelby car cover plus the optional Shaker 1000 sound system with 6 CD in dash Sirius satellite radio stereo system, remote central-locking and alarm system with 2 keys. The car currently has a 500GT registration number that is available for purchase with the car. She has the most impeccable history folder with the car from new which includes the original dealer window sticker from America, original 2007 colour brochures, original Shelby leather owners wallet containing all of the correct handbooks including instruction book, service book, Shelby supplement etc. I have every MOT sheet, full service and maintenance history with copies of the bills and check sheets. Only correct original Ford Motorcraft USA oil filters have been used together with the correct specification high performance oil. There is a Shelby protector pad for the front wing whilst servicing. She was serviced April 2019 ( less than 100 miles covered since then ) and has a new MOT until July 2021. Only offered for sale as my son is hoping to go to University in September and I said I would sell the car to help with University costs. This car is completely unmodified original from first registration. I can only stress that the condition is still as new throughout, completely unmarked wheels, mirror straight, gleaming showroom quality paintwork and beautiful interior. Remarkably the car runs happily on 91 octane fuel and she is registered in the Private/Light Goods road tax class so is also currently only £ 270 a year road tax, remarkable for an almost 500 BHP car. Also ULEZ exempt ! If you are considering buying one of these, I don’t think you could find better here in the UK as this is an extremely rare car. If you are like me, and prefer your cars completely standard and unmodified, my car should meet your needs. Past history of classic Shelby Mustang values suggests that the first year model cars always prove to be the best long term investment, or just buy and enjoy as an occasional weekend toy as I have. I may consider something very interesting and pristine in part exchange.

Price without registration number £ 37,500

Undergoing some refurbishment, hopefully available late 2020.

1978(S) Mercedes 450SLC Coupe LEFT-HAND DRIVE. Dark Metallic Green with original Light Green velour upholstery. Automatic, power steering, electric windows, factory alloy wheels, radio etc. This pretty coupe is in good useable condition. She had a repaint in recent years in Holland and has both Netherlands and UK registration documents. These pretty coupes seem to be appreciating quickly in value and are comfortable classic motoring. Showing 170,000 km ( about 105,000 miles ) but with little history as the car is believed to have come from deceased estate in Holland. Has recently had new camshafts and is now having the bumpers re-chromed and other cosmetic improvements. Good value for money and likely to appreciate and an ideal candidate for a rolling renovation or to put in storage for a few years as the value increases.
