This vertical poster presents a colorful, curated history of sports cars from 1910 to the mid‑1960s, originally published by The Sunday Times in 1966. Each illustrated vehicle is paired with concise specifications—engine type, displacement, seating, and top speed—allowing viewers to trace the evolution of performance engineering across Europe and America. Early pioneers like the 1910 Bugatti and 1911 Mercedes give way to interwar icons such as the Bentley 4½‑Litre and Alfa Romeo 1750, before culminating in postwar legends including the Jaguar XK120, Corvette, Ferrari 275 GTB, and Lotus Elan. The poster functions as both an educational timeline and a celebration of the stylistic and mechanical diversity that shaped the sports‑car identity.Collection
