1534. FRENCH GRAND PRIX 1967. Poster for the 53rd Grand Prix de l'ACF, held at Le Mans for only the third time in its history (1906 and 1921 being the previous occasions) The Circuit Bugatti was a purpose-built track inside the 24 hour course, using none of the public road sections but including several hairpin bends. It was unpopular with the drivers and spectator numbers were low, so F1 never returned to the Sarthe. 23.5in x16in poster with very light quarter folds from original mailing, clean and free from tears etc. Rare. £100 | |

1496. GRAND PRIX CARS OF 1960. Original titled folio of four colour fold-out posters with detailed technical description, early Michael Turner art, photos of Cooper, Lotus, BRM and Ferrari. Folds out to 20x23in. This was commissioned for the 1960 U.S. GP at Riverside but few were sold – because they arrived in California the day after the race… Rare complete set. £60 | |
 |
1478. AUTOCOURSE 1975/76 . International Motor Racing and Rallying Review but most people collect these for the Formula One content which is superbly detailed. Every race of the 1975 season is covered in detail with photos and statistics as well as off-track action. There's a photo on page 119 captioned "Elf PR man and journalist Eoin Young does the Haka- not a pretty sight!" Also the (in)famous incident at Barcelona where the team personnel worked on the circuit guardrails themselves is here. An article by Jackie Stewart on the retirement of Graham Hill is prefaced by a hastily added page recording his death in an air accident on November 29th and paying further tribute to "our sport's finest ambassador. a universally loved personality and a fine British Sportsman" Hardback in good, clean, tight condition (one corner board slightly rubbed) in similarly good dustwrapper in plastic protective sleeve. 9.5in x 13in. pp208 £145 | |

The history of advertising covered in detail plus a section on seventy years of FIAT adverts., Good analysis includes references to the "International Pin Head Family"- the ever-so-slightly undersized people who appeared in so many ads to make the cars look bigger- a practice which continues to this day.. Hardback with slightly edge rubbed dustwrapper and faded spine. 10in x 12in approx. pp.159 £22 | |
 |
