THE MICHAEL TURNER COLLECTION
OVER 50 YEARS OF MOTORSPORT-THEMED CHRISTMAS CARDS
For over 50 years, renowned motor sport and aviation artist Michael Turner annually produced a set of paintings depicting stand-out moments from that year’s Formula One and sports car racing season.
The paintings were reproduced as a set of Christmas cards and made available through Michael’s own company, Studio 88, which he formed in 1963.
Each card is reproduced on high-quality paper, together with its original caption, a brief synopsis of the event depicted, and Michael’s recollections of why he chose that particular subject and setting.
Now, for the first time, the entire collection of cards produced between 1960 and 2016 is published together in the book The Michael Turner Collection, written by Chas Parker in conjunction with Michael.
The subjects range from heroes of the 1960s such as Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark, Graham Hill and John Surtees to modern day drivers including Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, and the tracks include classics such as Nürburgring, Spa, Monaco and Silverstone.
Some sports car events such as the famous Le Mans 24-Hours are also included.
