“I loved the paintings that came together on the boxes,” he told What’s The Jam.

“And I have some very, very rare ones.

“I started collecting variants and it became an obsession.

“For a lot of people the cars are the most important part of the collection but for me as an artist what was more important was the pictures.

“So when I collected, I collected all the box types.

“It may be that you see you have three of the same car but I would collect every A box, every B box, every C box and so on.

“I collected them as sets, as a series of boxes, rather than as cars.

“It was an unusual way to collect.

“But that’s me – I enjoyed it.”

He added: “I’m a pensioner now but I’ve got a new mantra in life – don’t retire, refire.

“I’m asking for another thirty years to do a completely new project.”

Vectis Auctions is selling the collection on October 30.
