A 1960'S Dion Pears Oil Painting of Sir Tim Birkin at Le Mans

1940 - 1960
For Sale by Gutlin Clocks
Description

The duel between Mercedes-Benz driver Rudolf Caracciola and Sir Tim Birkin at the 1930 Le Mans 24 Hour race has passed into legend. As with many legends it’s hard to separate fact from fiction. For the race, Bentley fielded three team Speed Sixes as well as Birkin’s independent team of supercharged 4 ½ Litre Bentleys. From the start Birkin and Caracciola ran neck and neck, Birkin famously passing the SSK Mercedes on the Hunaudières straight with two wheels on the grass. Neither car lasted the distance, leaving Barnato to take victory with Glen Kidston in a Speed Six, ‘Old Number One’.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mid-20th-century automotive art capturing vintage motorsport depicts historic racing events, emphasising dynamic motion, speed, and detailed machinery using expressive oil paint techniques.

These works traditionally consist of oil pigments applied to stretched canvas, presented within layered wooden frames featuring gilt trim or fabric slip accents.

Authentic works feature the artist signature in lower brushwork, alongside period-appropriate canvas stretchers, age-consistent backing materials, and natural surface craquelure.

Display the artwork above a dark timber sideboard, within a dedicated study, or as part of a curated gallery wall to create a focal point.

Keep the painting away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels, dusting the surface exclusively with a soft, dry brush to prevent damage.
