Dion Pears (1929-1985) GRAHAM HILL - BRABHAM BT34 'LOBSTER CLAW' Signed lower left, a large oil on canvas board, framed, mounted and glazed, image 67 by 87cm., 27 by 34in.; sold with artwork for a cutaway drawing of the same car by Dick Ellis, produced for reproduction in Autocar magazine, framed, mounted and glazed to match, 46 by 67cm., 18 by 27in. (2) The Brabham BT34 'Lobster Claw' was a one-off design notable for its distinctive twin outboard front-mounted radiators. During 1971 it was driven exclusively by Graham Hill who succeeded in scoring his and the team's swansong F1 victory, before Bernie Ecclestone bought in and erstwhile designer and team owner Ron Tauranac followed Jack Brabham by returning to Australia.
