Want some kind of Motorsport artwork for my man cave, already have a big Sagaris print in there.

Don't want to spend a fortune on proper art like you see at Goodwood revival so thinking prints.

Needs to be big!! Ideas?

There's a seller on ebay, who's in china, who will print any image you send them in big sizes for pretty cheap.

I got three 36x24" prints of our 1600M on track for about £20 inc delivery.

Great quality printing on fabric style paper stuff. Only trouble now is that frames are gonna cost about double the amount the pictures cost, biggrin


Looks like they might have shut down though now, there's no shop front or items for sale, damn.

I picked up a flyer at the last Goodwood breakfast club, can`t find it now, but, they would take a photo of your car and superimpose it to any backdrop, clever photoshop stuff. Never been to Taj Mahal but a picture of your car in front of it says otherwise etc. Looked really good from what was on display but can`t remember their name, not a lot of help, sorry

airbrush or paint something of your own. . .my nephew and I 'airbrushed' his pug 106 & my M.G. Midget. . .looked pretty good. . . .kind of a West Coast Customs style. . .covered up now with other Garage bits . . .lack of space was the issue, but it kept us amused for a while.

TVR Flag for me - not the best picture but you get the idea!



The other stuff is...

- Le Mans posters
- Santa Pod Drag Racing posters
- Pic's of my previous TVR's (Chim, Cerb & Griff)
- 'Duel in the Sun' framed print of Colin Edwards III & Aaron Slight on their WRC Honda superbikes signed by them both - won it in a raffle years ago and the wife wouldn't have it in the living room!

Maybe the samples were actually taken in front of the Taj Mahal and they were claiming it was photoshopped. Kind of ironic if true smile

Thanks for the replies. I already have a big framed Sagaris print and a Tvr flag!!

I'm thinking senna....can't find any nice prints though, I don't want the dodgy ones with his face/autograph, maybe just a really good picture of him in the mclaren?? Any ideas on that theme?

Top one is on my wall in my Apartment in Germany and just bought the other this week. Sad I know.

I'll try again. Bought these two TIVs in the US earlier this year.
