All our posters are printed using a lithographic printer -  the image is etched by laser onto a coated aluminium plate - to achieve the highest quality results. We also utilise the best quality modern high performance inks that are available, and print onto 100% cotton paper.

Please note that any type of hand-printed image or artwork will fade when placed in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Due to pigments, amongst other factors, colours gradually fade over time, which is sped up when hung in direct sunlight.

It is for this reason that we highly recommend using UV protection when framing our posters, if they will be exposed to sunlight. UV glass acts as a film, and bounces a large majority of UV rays away from the artwork, which will protect it from fading over time.

Full throttle: The 250 GT 'short wheelbase' of Willy Mairesse and Georges Berger was to be victorious in the 1960 GT category of the Tour de France Automobile. The venerable Tour, dating from 1899 in the 'Heroic Age' of the automobile, was first organised by the Automobile Club de France in association with Le Matin. Starting at Nice, the 1960 event featured a roundabout route: Mont Ventoux, Nürburgring, Spa, Montlhéry and Rouen before reaching the finishing line in Clermont Ferrand. Belgian pilote Mairesse, one-time Ferrari's chief test driver, and with a reputation for overstepping the limits of racing, later turned to campaigning big sports cars with some success.
