Turner, Monaco Gran Prix

Perhaps the best known of the British racing artists, Michael Turner has been closely associated with The Motorsport Collector since we began operations in 1985. For more than 40 years,Turner artwork has chronicled the history of international motor racing. In the 1950's, his drawings decorated the legendary Steering Wheel Club in London and graced numerous enthusiast magazine and book covers. In the 60's and 70's his work appeared on the official posters for such prestigious races as the Grand Prix of Monaco, Sebring, LeMans, Nurburgring and many other Grand Prix and World Championship sports car events. He is perhaps best known to American fans for his series of Watkins Glen event posters, beginning with the 1969 US Grand Prix and continuing on through the final GP at The Glen in 1980.
