28 new and unseen artworks by eleven of the best motorsport artists.
"A Day at the Beach" (1925) by Roy Putt
Land Speed Records achieved by British drivers with combustion engine powered, wheel driven cars have always been of interest to Historic Car Art and that has been the focus in curating this exhibition.
"Golden Arrow" by Paul Dove
The Campbell name is synonymous with record setting. Malcolm Campbell set numerous land-mark records and his son Donald is still holder of the outright Land Speed Record for a wheel driven car, set in 1964. Donald then finished off a momentous year by also taking the Water Speed Record on 31st December thereby becoming holder of both records simultaneously - still the only person ever to have done so.
" '64: Donalds Double " by Jonathan Carter
The exhibition is being held at the Royal Automobile Club in London and is open to members (and their guests) only. However
the whole exhibition is recreated here as a virtual 3D walkthrough for all to enjoy.
All
artworks are for sale and many are available as limited edition prints.
A
limited edition book featuring all of the artworks is available to accompany the exhibition.
