Trying to find a specific F1 print
Years ago I went into a motor sport memorabilia shop and flicked through the F1 prints they had on sale. I came across one of the most memorable
moments in F1 history which is Mansell overtaking Senna in the '91 Spanish GP down the main straight. Skid plate sparks etc. I think the print
was titled "Wheel-to-wheel".
I've been looking for this print ever since as I didn't buy it at the time!  I've never seen it on sale anywhere else.
Long shot - does anyone know where I might be able to get my hands on this print? I'm pretty sure I didn't dream it so convinced it was
actually painted by somebody. It wasn't just a print of a TV pic, it was "original artwork" by someone.
Was of the image below...

Don't know about a painting but looks like you can buy an extremely high resolution version of the original photograph here and then get is
printed onto canvas or similar.

Thanks Matt. I'd rather have a painting of it but I guess if all else fails...

stick it through paintshop for that painted effect
actually it appears to have been a limited print run of only 350 and they've sold out...in 1991

Website linky do
with a bit of Paintshop jiggery pokery I bet you could scale and clean that up so you could reprint it. Or go and see the original and take a sneaky
photo

Thanks for finding that Whippy. You really do spend your life on the 'net don't you? 
Now that I see it though I'm very underwhelmed! Obviously it was many many years ago when I saw it and I was probably a teenager at the
time.
Think I might either go for the actual photo or an entirely different print altogether.
Sorry to Andrew Kitson if he reads this!

yeah looks rather like the illustrations you use to get on the front of airfix kits, not the greatest piece of work
