Bruce McLaren Racing Memorabilia1937 - 1970
1959 Photo Grand Prix of Italy at Monza with Tony Brooks on Ferrari and Bruce McLaren on Cooper Climax.
This is a great photo of Tony Brooks in his # 30 Ferrari 246 being chased by Bruce McLaren on Cooper T51 Climax in the very first lap of the 1959 Gran Premio d'Italia at the Autodromo di Monza.
Tony would fail to complete the first lap due to clutch problems while Bruce's engine gave up the ghost in lap 22.
It measures some 9.5 x 6.5 inches (24 x 16 cm) and is black & white.
It appears to be a more modern print.

Vintage Original 1961 Monaco Grand Prix Counter-Top Poster.
An a very simple and relatively small but oh so rare poster...
These posters could be seen hanging throughout the principality of Monaco prior to the race in 1961 but this one is a little more special...
This particular one is executed as a counter-top version and it is the very first one in this execution that we ever managed to lay our hands on.
This poster features the best logo we have ever seen with the racing car and "MONACO" perfectly integrated into it!
Rumour has it that this poster was banned by the organizers as they deemed the black background to be too morbid at that time. Maybe the rumour is true... but we don't have knowledge of an alternative poster for the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix... so...
The race was, famously, won by Stirling Moss on Lotus 18 ahead of Richie Ginther, Phil Hill and Wolfgang Berghe von Trips, all on Ferrari 156 Sharknose.
Considering its age, it is over half a century old, we dare to call this unusual Monaco "poster" to be in mint condition.
9.8 x 12.5 inches or some 25 x 30 cm.
Official Program Booklet 1963 Formula 1 Grand Prix held at Silverstone.
The race was held on July 20, 1963.

Fastest lap was for John Surtees in the Ferrari 156/63.

Vintage 1966 24 Heures du Mans Race Poster.
June 18 & 19, 1966.
It measures approximately:40 x 60 cm.15.5 x 23.5 inches.
This poster is in very good condition for its age with strong and vivid colors but it does have a good number of pinholes which just add to the character without distracting from the overall appearance.
This poster is part of the so-called "Modern Photographic Approach" era in Le Mans posters which lasted from 1964 - 1971.
The poster is based on a photo taken by Le Mans photographer Andre Delourmel and shows the 1965 pack under braking for the Tertre Rouge section of the track. In the background the famous Dunlop bridge is clearly visible. The photo was heavily touched up for use on the poster and the touch-ups have been done with paint on an original photo with out-of-focus edges.
The race was won by New-Zealanders Bruce McLaren & Chris Amon in their Shelby American entered Ford MKII S/N 1046 with a total of 360 laps to their name.
For the full results of this race, please see 24 Heures du Mans results 1966.
This poster will be shipped, rolled, in a sturdy tube.
This poster is VERY scarce and we only have 1 available.
