Concept is based on a wonderful Bugatti Type 35 at the 2023 RetroMobile show in Paris France. Jay Koka: "I take no credit for the car's attractive and interesting paint job which I present here -but with minor detail and color variations necessary to fit my concept. My immediate reaction to the car (other than the wonder of a Type 35) was the idea that the paint graphics could make it "disappear"... An interesting and very different new work.

A key landmark in the city, it features a stunning glass roof. Fitted with a 160bhp 3557cc inline six-cylinder engine the 135 S was exceptionally fast for its day.

This wonderful 100 year old car won the "Tom Thomson Art Gallery Timeless Design" award at the 2024 Cobble Beach Concours. The award is named after the celebrated Canadian artist Tom Thomson (1877-1917). Thomson's work is unique and has a readily identifiable style. What if Thomson had lived to see the Rolls and decided to create a work based on this beautiful car? Jay Koka: "I could only hope for and strive to attain his talent... but... here's my attempt."

This work features a classic 1940 19' Chris Craft Barrelback Runabout in a somewhat exciting moment. The steamship passengers watch on with great interest to see what route she will take... The setting is the Gravenhurst Ontario harbor with one of its iconic steamships... the 130 year old historic steamship R.M.S. Segwun. Built in 1887, Segwun is North America's oldest operating steamship and was originally designated a Royal Mail Ship.
