This is a large original painting of Jackie Stewart at the wheel of his championship winning Tyrrell of 1973.
When I say large, I should say MASSIVE! It measures 2440mm x 820mm and is painted in either Acrylic or gouache on board. It is signed " P. Wilson '75 "
I bought it around 20 years ago from well known Scottish racing driver Bill Borrowman when he was closing his 'Sportstune' shop in Brandon Terrace, Edinburgh. I actually bought it on the shop's very last day - just in the nick of time!
It used to hang on the wall above the counter, and I think it had been commissioned by Bill.
I've carted it around through various house moves over the years (no mean feat in itself, given it's size) but I think I have to accept that my wife isn't going to agree to hanging it in the house, so for the last few years it has had pride of place in the garage. It was originally just the board, but I mounted it on a timber frame and put a small beading on it to protect the edges. This frame is screwed directly to the wall.
When I bought it I sent a photo of it to Jackie and he very kindly returned it with his signature (in blue marker) as requested. This photo is in a clip frame and will be included in the sale.
I will help the buyer load it, but you are probably going to need a van to pick it up. I'm about 10 miles south of Edinburgh, in Penicuik, so please bear this in mind. Alternatively, I have the number of a friendly local courier.
Sensible offers invited.
