1959 Le Mans - Limited Edition Motorsport Print

At 4pm on the 21st June 1959, the Aston Martin DBR1 of Roy Salvadori and Carroll Shelby crossed the finishing line to take victory at Le Mans, heading a 1-2 finish for the British team after 24 hours of racing.

Graham Turner's painting shows Roy Salvadori in the winning car, leading the Phil Hill/Olivier Gendebien Ferrari Testa Rossa at Tertre Rouge corner on Sunday morning. This evocative painting has been published as a Limited Edition Giclée Print, LIMITED TO 100 COPIES ONLY, the first 20 of which are reproduced on canvas just like the original oil painting.

Our Giclée prints are individually printed using inks which provide the best colour and finest detail of any prints we offer. The whole process is under Graham Turner's control ensuring excellent quality and a picture that is as close to the original as possible.
