Never seen it either. It looks pretty complete at first glance. And it features the car that made me hooked to motorracing when I got hold of a 1990 season preview and saw a picture of

Yes, they are, but there are some that aren't included in the book, at least not the first edition that I have. It's an amazing body of work that the artist has. I just can't remember who the artist is since his signatures have been removed. :

Two very nice sites but I'm afraid, both are lacking in at least one small area of F1 history. :cry:

There's a signature on one of the Vanwall pictures on the f1-legend site - it looks like P Miend
