A massive original painting, acrylic on canvas, painted in 2010. Framed with a swept dark red frame and unglazed.
Jack Sears (English, 1930–2016) was a British race and rally driver popularly known as "Gentleman Jack" due to his erudite charm and never-less-than immaculate appearance.

This painting executed in 2010 depicts Sears racing chassis no. CSX2131, also known as registration 39PH – the first and only A.C. Cobra ever to win its class at Le Mans – at Brands Hatch circuit in 1964.
