Vintage racing posters are among my favorite types of automotive memorabilia. Until recently, I had nowhere to hang any either but I've made room in my home office for a couple -- eventually.

This is one of my favorites, primarily because my first car was a 1973 Porsche 914.

And this one because I've always loved Martini livery colors (with Gulf being close behind).

Awesome collection!

: My favourite being an original Land Speed Record poster. These

: I was missing an original Sebring painting though, one from the
: 1999 race, the original watercolour used for the actual race
: poster. It was really bugging me for a while but not being able
: to find it I assumed it had been lost or was living in a barn I
: rent. I found it tonight, along with two more I forgot about.
: All by Simon Ward, they're from 1998, 1999 and 2000. I
: particularly like the 1999 painting with the Ferrari 333SP at
: the front. I've been going to Le Mans since 1995 and remember
: all these sports cars. The Panoz GT1 coupes from the late 1990s
: were fantastic, they really did make the ground shake as they
: went past. The 333SP was the last Ferrari prototype and it was
: never really developed, I don't think the factory was involved
: in it. Note the Mercedes CLK GTR in the background, I don't
: believe it raced in 1999, the CLR appeared at Le Mans and
: famously flipped three times. So here's what I have, all going
: into frames with conservation glass:

: This one doesn't match the program (picture below), I can't find a
: picture of the actual race poster, I wonder if it was used on

: I thought you might like to see them, I suspect there are some car
: enthusiasts here. One day I'm hoping to have a four-car garage
: with walls big enough to display a load of the posters. Until
: then most are living in the attic with some dotted round the
: house.
