A superb, limited edition Giclée fine-art print of renowned motoring artist Emma Capener’s pencil drawing of legendary racing driver Jim Clark will be auctioned in aid of the Jim Clark Trust at our Gold Cup Sale at Oulton Park on 28 July. It’s a fitting location to offer this magnificent artwork, as Jim Clark won the Oulton Park Gold Cup in 1963, and the Historic Formula Junior drivers will be battling it out for the Jim Clark Cup at this year’s Gold Cup weekend.
The extraordinarily-detailed drawing shows Jim Clark at the Dutch GP at Zandvoort in 1966. Each limited edition print includes the artist’s signature, is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The print going under the Hampson hammer is number 25, reflecting the number of F1 race wins Jim Clark achieved in his, tragically, all-too-short career.
The Jim Clark Trust is dedicated to promoting and celebrating the story of Jim Clark who won the Formula One Championshipin 1963 & 1965 and the 1965 Indianapolis 500, all with Team Lotus. The charity was formed in 2015 to help support, fund and operate the new Jim Clark Motorsport Museum. The origins of the Trust date back to the original Jim Clark Memorial Room opened in 1969 by Jim’s parents James and Helen, and is still run by relatives of the Clark family. The Jim Clark Cafe Bistro and Jim Clark Trail are operated by the Trust with profits going to charity to enhance the experience of visitors to the Museum and support tourism, culture and economic benefits in the Scottish Borders… the place Jim Clark cherished and called home. Its charitable aims focus on Heritage, Education and Inspiration.
