They are breathtakingly amazing! Below some pics - they were on view at Phillips in London in November 2019.
(Edit: Why are the pics all over the place? They are 'normal if I upload them )

Got a sore neck looking at those, fantastic car though.

Does this come with a cock that you strap to your head while driving it? Or is that in a separate auction?

Would much rather have one of these. My old neighbor had one... p*ick never let me drive it.



That Alfa honestly looks like the creation of an autistic child.

Speaking as a father of an autistic child, I'd be very surprised if he designed anything like this, he could tell you anything about any Pokemon character thats been created though

You're right. What I should have said "It looks like an American tried to design an Italian looking car"

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Mocking a disability ? Are you the type that it is acceptable to pick or mock Underprivileged, COLOURED children ?
Agree may look shit in your eyes but really is there any need to the added comment?

Just try and think a little before trying to be amusing to a bunch of strangers , Or how would you feel if this type of comment reflected your family or child ? Ignorance towards disability is the same as sexism and racism and offends .

You know nothing about me, my life or my family. 

I'll carry on as is, thanks. And if comments like that really offend you, you need to get out more.

Not seen the piece in question before. I thought it was going to be the sweeper one which is pretty cool, but my is this one frikkin awful.

It doesn't even make sense visually?

Worked better as the empty billboard.

Its a play on how collectible and highly sought after spot paintings / prints were. It was very much a status thing to have one in your yuppie Soho flat. Ironically, Banksy has now become the artist of choice.

Yeah, I get the sentiment and intention, it just doesn't work.

I hope he just knocked this one out quick to some idiot to fund half of Dismaland or something.

This is a fav of mine. He did another defaced Hirst at the same time that was good too.

This should go for more than the Monet one. So much stronger.

I just can't see that happening.

Conceptually I think it's good (I mean, just compare it to an elephant with a rocket on its back), but not as visually appealing as the Monet.

Wonder how much a Hirst canvas this size goes for though?... Also appeals to his collectors, whereas the Monet one wouldn't appeal to Monet collectors🤷.

I really want it but am too poor ☹️

You have great taste. After several years, just finished restoring my 68 last week. Now all that’s left is a pesky oil leak on the driver’s side I need to address and she’ll be 100.

Thanks. All original, using oem/original parts, which have recently become very scarce. The only thing I’m questioning is the chrome trim around the wheel wells. I’ve seen 68’s with it and without it. Doing some research on whether it was a factory option. If not, they’ll be coming off.

I was curious about that - I personally think it looks better without. I have seen it done as an easy replacment due to rusted wheel arches. Could have been factory but I am not an expert on these.

Yeah, tbh I’m not crazy about them. As soon as I get confirmation that the vin did or didn’t have them I’ll act accordingly. Bought the car 15 years ago for $19k. Had some rust issues in the usual w113 chassis spots, body wasn’t the straightest, interior wasn’t in great shape, but it’s always run well. The car has a very special, sentimental meaning to me in relation to my father. Happy to finally see it up and running properly.
