I Gotta Share These Images
I've posted a couple more in the Racing History forum, one of which I think is stunning but thought I'd share some others here.
I was at a small auction in my home town today, selling some stuff still left over from my mum, when I found a load of racing prints from 1950. If these are originals it was a wonderful find, even if they aren't it was still pretty cool. I've inlcuded the tele-typed blurb stuck to the back of each ITALY WINS THE EUROPEAN GRAND PRIX 13-5-50 Close-up of the happy garlanded G.
