2005 Porsche 991 / 997 Carrera 2S Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:45910The 996 model of the 911 Porsche was replaced by the 997 in 2005.The new model shares less than a third of its parts with the outgoing 996 but is technically similar to it. At the launch two versions were introduced. They were the Carrera and the more powerful and better equipped Carrera S. This was the first time since 1977 that the 911 was offered in two power versions. The specification differences included larger and more powerful brakes with red calipers, lowered suspension featuring the 'Porsche Active Suspension Management' system, xenon headlights and a sports steering wheel. This nice low mileage example is presented in black with black leather interior and a black electrically operated hood. It comes with a large book pack with some servicing invoices and was last inspected in July 2021 when a major service was carried out, replacing cambelts, plugs, filters, oil pump, tandem vac and successful bore scope was carried out. Its exhaust system was replaced this year and its roof operation and micro switch were replaced, the air conditioning was re-gassed and the bonnet struts were replaced. Its 3.8 litre six-cylinder engine is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox and it comes with satellite navigation and air conditioning and has a fresh MoT test certificate. With a very reasonable reserve price, this iconic Porsche sports car offers everything one would expect.

The watch encompasses two large complications whilst retaining an elegant and attractive size - tandem mainspring barrels for 10 day power reserve and a tourbillon both of which traditionally take a great deal of space. At its introduction it was seen as a pinnacle of watchmaking.

Records And Rebels 1966-1970, Victoria & Albert Museum, London, 2016.John Lennon's debut album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, was released on 11th December 1970, in tandem with the similarly-titled companion album by Yoko Ono. Earlier that year the couple had undertaken a course of primal scream therapy under the guidance of its creator, Arthur Janov and John, in particular, channelled his emotions into the album, with tracks such as 'Mother' and 'God'.The album covers, featuring a photograph of the couple under a tree at Tittenhurst Park, are nearly identical, the only difference being that on Yoko's album, she is lying on John. The photographs were taken by American actor Daniel Richter, who was working as their assistant at the time. Richter had previously played the ape character, Moon-Watcher, in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.John himself felt it was his best work to date, calling it his 'Sgt. Lennon'. It is now widely regarded as his best solo album.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

It was later occupied by the Nawab of the Carnatic, and after that by the East India Company from 1801, functioning as the official residence of the District Collector. From 1959 the palace became the Mahatma Gandhi Museum. With its distinctive ogee arches and massive pillars, it was also depicted by Thomas and William Daniell in the late 18th Century.For a group of four Company School works depicting the exterior of the palace, and the temples of Minatchy and Vasanta, at Madura, see Sotheby's, Oriental Manuscripts and Miniatures, 29th April 1998, lots 91-94. These too have identifying inscriptions in English. M. Archer noted that aside from its official status Madura was regarded as a centre for Company officials, who were attracted by its monuments and sculpture. An Indian artist, named Ravanath Naik, appears to have worked in tandem with British amateur painters (Company Drawings in the India Office Library, London 1972, p. 52).For another painting by an Indian artist, depicting Pudu Mandapa, opposite the Meenakshi Temple, and in the collection of Conway Mordaunt Shipley, see India and Iran: Works on Paper, Oliver Forge & Brendan Lynch, March 2022, no. 25.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

PATRICK HERON (1920-1999)Three Squares (Ceruleum, Naples, Ochre) in Yellow; February 1960Oil on paper laid on hardboard, 70.5 x 44.5cmProvenance: With Waddington Galleries, London; Private Collection, DublinPatrick Heron is one of the finest colourists to emerge in 20th century painting.For an artist whose work is basically so pleasant and chromatically rich, it’s hard to imagine him being regarded as a challengingly disruptive presence on the British art scene, but that is pretty much how he was treated in the latter 1950s. When he exhibited his first ‘stripe’ paintings in a group show atthe Redfern Gallery in London in 1957 the reception was, he recalled: “quite violently hostile.” The appalled Sunday Times critic complained that “bands of colour” didn’t make a painting. Despite corrective views offered by no less than Winifred Nicholson and William Scott, the gallery turned the lights out after three days, took down the work and closed the show. He and Bryan Wynter quit the Redfern and joined the Waddington in protest.Heron, a lively, curious and immensely creative artist, was effortlessly cosmopolitan from the first. He was born in Leeds. His father, who manufactured silk blouses, was enthusiastic and informed about the arts. Patrick designed his first fabric aged just 14: he began and remained a champion of art as decoration. By the time he attended the Slade School he was to some extent formed as an artist, open to French painting, including Cézanne and then Matisse and later Braque, and he found the insular English teaching “a complete wash-out.” With childhood connections to Cornwall he worked in Bernard Leach’s pottery, a prelude to his later, in 1955, settling in Eagle’s Nest house and garden in Zennor. Rothko became another important influence.In 1953, after much thought, he titled one of his exhibitions Space in Colour, and realised he’d pinned down the core of his artistic concerns, but he found the British public averse to colour, abstraction and ‘foreign’ influences in general. Even as the stripe paintings - now highly prized - proved a step too far for public opinion, he was exploring another possibility: “The first squares followed the first stripes very closely indeed - almost the same week, actually. I always thought that the squares arose from stripes in two directions crossing over.” It is clear that the squares paintings developed pretty much in tandem with the stripes, allowing him greater flexibility in exploring the colour relationships between areas of intense, pure colour laid on equally intense though often contrasting colour grounds. These two series produced some of the best, most satisfying work of his career. Here, in complete com- mand of his means, he relishes the dancing interplay between the vibrant, luxuriant yellow ground and the foreground squares, variously calming (Naples yellow) and enlivening (that burst of cerulean blue), in a beautifully textured composition.Aidan Dunne, April 2022 Condition Report: Very good conditionThe Waddington label suggests oil on paper laid down on hardboard but small areas of unpainted medium suggest that it may be painted directly on hardboardPurchased directly from Waddington by Dublin medic and major Dr. J CooneyNo record of other exhibitions or literature

c.1982 Kawasaki KR250 Grand Prix Racing MotorcycleFrame no. 601F7818Engine no. TE 601 101•Engine professionally refurbished•Last used at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2014Few machines in Grand Prix racing's modern era have enjoyed such a lengthy period of dominance as the Kawasaki 'tandem twins' that ruled the 250 and 350 classes from 1978 to 1982, winning 72 GPs and securing eight World Championships for the Japanese manufacturer. A radical design, the KR250/350 employed the rotary inlet valves that had been a feature of previous Kawasaki two-strokes, but avoided the associated disadvantage of excess width (when applied to a conventional parallel twin) by using two inline cylinders with separate geared-together crankshafts. As well as the advantage of asymmetrical inlet timing, the use of direct crankcase induction via rotary disc valves enabled an extra transfer port to be accommodated in the cylinder where the inlet port would have been, while the tandem arrangement also left more room for the side transfer ports. After an inauspicious debut season in 1975, the KR250 took a Grand Prix sabbatical in 1976, returning to the fray in '77 in heavily revised form with altered crankshaft phasing and mono-shock rear suspension. Mick Grant scored the KR's debut GP victory at Assen that year and followed up with a win in Sweden, but it was not until Kork Ballington's arrival the following year that the KR posed a serious championship threat. The South African went on to secure both the 250 and 350 World Championships in 1978 and '79, while German Anton Mang took the 250 World Championship in 1980 and '81 and the 350 title in 1981 and '82. This particular KR250 is believed to have been campaigned by the French rider Jean-François Baldé, although, unfortunately, there is no firm documentary evidence to support this. Further research may yet prove fruitful but bidders should satisfy themselves as to the authenticity. Baldé had begun his Grand Prix career in 1973 in the 500cc class. He scored his first victory (riding a KR250 Kawasaki) in 1981 at the Argentine Grand Prix and went on to finish 2nd in the 250cc World Championship that year, his best-ever result. Consistency was the key to Baldé's success in 1981, the Frenchman scoring points in 10 out of the 12 rounds and finishing on the podium six times. His KR250 was outpaced in 1982 but on the KR350 he secured three World Championship victories, finishing 3rd overall at the season's end. He switched to Yamahas in 1983 and retired at the end of the 1989 GP season. In a 16-year career in Grands Prix, Baldé started over 200 races and finished on the podium's top step five times. Sadly, there were to be no points-scoring finishes in 1989.An excellent example, the Kawasaki was last used at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June 2014, although, sadly, the vendor can no longer remember who rode it. Re-commissioning will be required before further use. Copy KR250/350 service manuals are included in the sale.With the 250cc class now defunct at World Championship level, these purpose-built Grand Prix racers are becoming increasingly collectible and this KR250 represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire an example believed raced by one of France's foremost Grand Prix stars of the 1970s and 1980s.Offered without keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1909 Triumph 3½hpRegistration no. X 1631 (see text)Frame no. 139567Engine no. 9 3 09•Present family ownership for between 30 and 50 years•An older restoration•Started within the last year•Two-speed hub gearThe first Triumph motorcycle of 1902 used a Belgian Minerva engine, but within a few years the Coventry firm - originally a bicycle manufacturer founded by German immigrants Siegfried Bettman and Maurice Schulte - was building its own power units. The first of these - a 298cc single-cylinder sidevalve - arrived in 1904. This first engine was not without its weaknesses, pistons and bores wore out quickly and the curious 'tandem down-tube' frame in which it was installed broke, but these shortcomings were soon sorted and within a couple of years 'Triumph' was a byword for reliability. The famous 3.5hp model first appeared in 1907. Originally of 453cc, its 3½hp sidevalve engine was enlarged to 476cc in 1908 and finally to 499cc in 1910 before being superseded by the 4hp model in 1914. The company was involved in racing from its earliest days, and the publicity generated by competition successes - Jack Marshall won the 1908 Isle of Man TT's single-cylinder class for Triumph having finished second the previous year - greatly stimulated sales. By the outbreak of The Great War, the marque's reputation for quality and dependability was well-established, leading to substantial orders for 'Trusty Triumphs' for British and Allied forces. This belt-driven 3½hp Triumph has been owned by the vendor's family for between 30 and 50 years. Kept on display in a private museum, the machine has not been used for at least 20 years but has been started within the last year or so (the engine turns over). The Triumph has obviously been refurbished prior to the present ownership but nevertheless will require re-commissioning before further use. Notable features include a two-speed hub gear; Cowey 0-70mph speedometer; and an unusual large USA-made Rushmore 'Searchlight' acetylene headlamp with its own large-capacity generator. There is a second smaller generator on the opposite side, presumably to supply the rear lamp. There are no documents with this Lot and it should be noted that the registration 'X 1631' is not listed in the HPI database; accordingly, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding.
