Don't Mention The Breakdown - Edition
€399,95 EUR
There are few television comedies as enduringly loved as Fawlty Towers. More than half a century after it first aired, Basil Fawlty's wonderfully chaotic attempts to run his Torquay hotel remain woven into British popular culture, with the sitcom continuing to delight audiences across generations.
In 'Don't Mention The Breakdown', David Renshaw celebrates one of the series' most unforgettable stars; Basil's famously temperamental red Austin Mini. Captured moments after its memorable breakdown, the artwork is filled with affectionate references that fans will instantly recognise, from the battered tree branch to the iconic "Farty Towels" hotel sign. Rich in humour, nostalgia and meticulous detail, it perfectly captures the wit that made the series a comedy classic.
This hand-embellished boutique edition forms part of David Renshaw's celebrated Iconic Cars Collection, a body of work dedicated to some of the most recognisable vehicles from film and television. Rather than simply depicting classic cars, the collection celebrates the stories they tell and the memories they evoke, transforming cultural icons into beautifully crafted contemporary artworks.
Every edition is individually hand embellished by David, ensuring each artwork possesses its own subtle character while retaining the unmistakable charm of the original composition. Hand signed and numbered by the artist, 'Don't Mention The Breakdown' is a wonderful opportunity for collectors of David Renshaw's work, admirers of British television history and anyone who appreciates art that brings a smile every time it's viewed.

Providing quality at every step
Experience and care with each order
Trading for over 30 years, we have made art our passion. Therefore we have developed a strict set of standards for the safe storage and dispatch of our precious works to our collectors. Our meticulous 12-point checklist ensures every work upholds our exacting quality standards when dispatching one of our artworks.
Starting at dispatch from the artist's studio, we've worked together with our community of artists to ensure delivery to the gallery is as meticulous as possible - each work packaged safe transit.
Upon arrival in our Weybridge showroom, each new arrival is examined by the studio & dispatch team. Frames are scrutinised for a perfect finish: glass is polished to perfection with anti-static art cloths. Auxiliary features like the string/wire and certification on the reverse are checked for positioning and correct mounting. Finally, the work itself is inspected to ensure a flawless transition from studio to gallery. Upon purchase, the work is cleaned again and meticulously subjected to our trademark 12-point checking system to ensure a safe secure journey to its ultimate destination.
With a network of framers, restorers, conservators and art dealers with over 50-years experience in the industry, you can rest assured your world-class art receives the highest level of scrutiny and care.
