A rare early English white sculptural porcelain figure of a recumbent ram, probably Lowestoft circa 1770 or earlier, of small proportions, realistically modelled in relief, lying down with straight back leg, hollowed to the underside, 5.5cm wide, 4.8cm highSee: Godden, G. 1969, Illustrated Guide to Lowestoft Porcelain, London: Herbert Jenkins, figs.140 and 141, for an illustrated example of this form and a photograph of the hollow undersideNote: similar to the Derby Dry Edge period, Chelsea, Bow and Longton Hall figures of circa 1750, the ram and ewe were popular subjects for production in soft paste Blanc de Chine porcelain in the very early years of porcelain manufacture in England circa 1747-1755. The form of this model, with outstretched back leg and tilted head, is identical in composition to the Lowestoft models (circa 1780) held in the Norwich Castle Museum (E D Levine and City of Norwich Museums' Collections); the fine tooling and distinguished, rather than comical, modelling of the face and other features is more refined and crisply executed than on the later models, which implies a possibly earlier date. The combination of the features including the space between the body and the back leg, the curled front leg and the position and form of the tail, is also indicative of the Lowestoft examples; as well as the soft paste porcelain construction.
Extensively upgraded ‘Go Anywhere’ Defender (read spec!)Absolutely excellent condition, ready for off road adventures right awayThere is little doubt that one of the most famous shapes on British roads over the last 50 years is the Land Rover. This ‘Go Anywhere’ vehicle has been used on airfields, as ambulances, crossing jungles, deserts and ice caps. The rear body not only presents in standard factory guise but with a huge range of adaptations such as pick-up trucks, tow trucks, general haulage and immediate triage on the front line. These working vehicles can also be utilised for pleasure, however, as is the case here. This is probably one of the best specified ‘Go Anywhere’ exhibition ready Defenders we have seen. Our vendor built this specifically for a 10 day 100% off road trip to Iceland and the brief was simply that the Defender must have everything required to live in it for the duration of the trip. The specification is extensive and over 800 hours were poured into building this vehicle to ensure it really could go absolutely anywhere necessary on the trip. The 300TDi was selected as the starting point, it’s an extremely strong and reliable engine and a new gearbox, transfer case, turbo, Richards galvanised chassis with galvanised gearbox crossmember and galvanised shock turrets was fitted. A 40 litre freshwater tank is fitted behind the seats with Jabsco filtered delivery system and external shower attachment. Twin fuel tanks with around 600 miles of range, Old Man Ecu shocks and steering damper with +2” heavy duty springs, all new stainless steel bolts and fittings throughout. New seals throughout, brakes refurbished with new pads, new lines, new gearbox mounts, new bushes and axles and trailing arms refurbished. A Kenlowe auxiliary fan has been fitted along with engine temperature management in the cab, adjustable towbar, snorkel and remote air intake. To assist with night driving, an LED light bar has been fitted to the roof rack and bulbar, new LED lights all round. To help with security, a Sigma S4 alarm and immobiliser have been fitted. The sleeping quarters are a Tentco Protent two-man roof tent with internal LED lighting and 12v sockets with full rear awning to match. Engine and gearbox, outrigger and bulkhead mud shields have been fitted underneath. A MEOS MC401B stereo with Maxon CM70 European CB radio had been fitted, an iPad dock and welded in floor safe have all been fitted. A Calor plug in gas system has been fitted as well as four Optima Leisure batteries, an onboard 240v inverter and an independent on-board air compressor system. The interior is also fitted with Neknic heated seats and an X Defender steering column lock, for added security. Finally, a clamshell roof box is fitted, providing much more storage space. Now that’s the specification finished… this really is no Chelsea tractor, everything has been thought of and it wants for absolutely nothing. Supplied with plenty of paperwork for the build and a V5C registration document, this Defender can be bought for a fraction of what it would cost to build today.
