Title: RAIN DANCE
Porsche 917
Winning car at LeMans 1970
An edition of just six.
Size: 120 x 120 cm.
Price. POA.
Following on from famous Gulf coloured 917 created some time ago Terence decided to re-visit the iconic 917 for a second time. Always wanting to create a car captured racing at high speed in the rain, this 917 was the perfect subject for such an edition. Not too sure how long it rained for that year but I suspect if you ask anyone there, they would have said ‘all 24 hours”.

As always when painting the limited editions, keeping each one as a unique one-off is always the objective.This blue edition is no exception. It’s er… blue, all over. So making it… unique.Same underlying story, just a different colour!
Please view edition number 3/6 for the full background story on the Cobra editions.
Gulf Rocket
GULF ROCKET
Number 4/6 of the Evolution 911’s.
Wall mounted. Size: 120 x 120 cm.
Price: POA.
Tricky doing a Gulf 911 as the 917 will always be the car people identify with the Gulf colours.
A 911? Not so much, so I took the liberty to go a little more abstract with the colour scheme.
Quite the statement if you love Porsche racing cars.
JUST FOUR
Title: JUST FOUR.
Edition number 5/6.
Base Size:122 x 123cm.
Price: POA.
The fifth of just six castings. Captured at dawn at Daytona, 1967. The third place car, complete with busted headlight, heading towards Ferrari’s one, two, three revenge win on US soil, with the P4’s making up the first three places in this now famous 24 hour race. As with all six castings , each one is used to make a unique edition. hence a true one-off wall hung sculpture. Number 6/6 will be the Monza winning car.
THE TEA TIME SPECIAL
THE TEA TIME SPECIAL.
Edition number 2/6
Size: 122 x 61.
PRICE: POA.
As with all the editions completed, due to each one being hand painted, changes are made, sizes altered. This second edition is a great example. A taller, tighter base. Lighter tyre marks and just the enamel tea mug x 20 (as seen in lots of shots in the Ferrari Ford film.) Makes for a different edition. Just as good as the first and third versions…. just well… different.
Dirty Stripper
ACID TANK RACER Number 2.
Title: Dirty Stripper.
1967 Plymouth Belvedere. Altered wheel base drag racer.
Wallmounted.
Size of base: 61 x 61 cm. (can be displayed as a free standing edition if preferred)
Price: £695.00
Currently the plan is to create 12 of these little sculptures. Each one will be painted in a different style, colour etc along with a unique name along each side of the body. Some free standing, some wall mounted.
These crazy drag racers were re-built moving their rear and front axles forward to help balance and tyre grip. The body shells of the GM race prepared cars were also acid dipped to help save weight. Some of the editions will have sculptured wheel smoke and extra movement shapes behind the car, some won’t. It depends on colours and styles used as to whether these extra shapes are used.
SPLIT DECISION
TITLE: SPLIT DECISION.
Edition 3/3
Size: 100 x 120 cm.
PRICE: POA.
This is the last of the Hawthorn D-Type LeMans Jaguars. Totally different painting technique used to the first two editions. The marking of the tragic event has been added in a very different style and location. Making it possible to hang the edition either portrait or landscape. Also a different size base. Making this edition a unique one-off.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Should Mike have swerved across the track so late to make his pit-stop? Should we celebrate his and Jaguar’s winning of the race? No doubt the worst day in motor racing history. Yet both Jaguar and Hawthorne won the race. Albeit in very sad circumstances. But for the car and the driver it can be claimed as the pinnacle of their success? So how do you celebrate one of the most beautiful cars and skilled drivers of their time without incorporating a very subtle understanding of the tragic events? Again, a wall mounted automotive sculpture to make you think.

A ’50’ has been added to the bonnet and doors to help celebrate the birthday. An edition of just three. Size of wall mounted base is 145 x 64 cm. So it’s quite large.
