Spitfire MKIV Prints

News and Press

While there is much to love about the early Spits, the MKIV and 1500s with their kam-tail design are among my favorites. With the optional hardtop included, the MKIVs may well be the perfect blend of fun-to-drive and practical or, as practical as a sports car can be. With its light weight, independent rear suspension and (reasonable0 power, the junior Triumph was, well, a triumph of size, handling, and styling and well suited to the American market.

100S Coupe Prints

News and Press

Only 5 prints left! This may be the most iconic of the Austin Healey 100 models—Donald Healey’s personal 100S coupe. Recently sold at Bonham’s for a price equivalent to the GNP of a small country, this one of only two examples of a factory built coupe is currently on loan from its owner to the Austin Healey Museum in the Netherlands. Built on a late BN1 chassis, the coupe has a custom interior that includes a radio, heater, very unique door panels and a few other special touches. Under the bonnet is a mostly stock 100S motor (although painted red, presumably to match the exterior) with the addition of a heater bib and a few other tweaks.

The Sunbeam “Alpine” name actually goes back to the 50s when the name used on a series of cars intended mostly for rally. The name as we know it today has its origins in 1956 when Kenneth Howes and Jeff Crompton were tasked with doing a complete redesign of the original car, targeted primarily at the U.S. market.

Mini-Cooper Prints

News and Press

The mighty Mini. While I owned a MKI in my youth, I never really appreciated this marvelous package of engineering until I began the illustration. From the hydrolastic suspension to the transverse mounted motor and gearbox, the Austin Mini-Cooper was quite a revolutionary little car and what would turn out to be, one of the British motorcar industry’s best selling and most iconic vehicles. Not to mention, fun to drive.
