Car Sectionals

[Bfg]

Just for the sheer pleasure of looking and learning, seeing the mechanical engineering of the day and a car's structure ..and to admire the technically-artistry of the draughtsmen / illustrator .. I enjoy looking at car sectionals, cutaways, and the such like.  

I'm sure many of you have a few saved on file because you too have found them interesting.   If you feel like sharing then please do.  

Might I suggest just one car per post ?  . . .and please do attribute to the illustrator &/or the source.

To kick off then.,  I'll start off with a vintage Allen . . .

Ah., I see the restorers have cut the rust out of the outer panels

This Beetle floorpan was on display at a show a few years back. Absolutely fascinating

About 20 years ago I had chance of a MK3 cortina (all the running gear I think with an electric motor) but no way of moving storing it).

What was the guy that used to illustrate the Haynes manuals?

Absolute legend - here’s an article about him.

One of my favourite items on the bookshelf is this tome which has more than 100 of his drawings in it.

From the 1941 edition of the motor manual.

Exact car models (if any) unknown. (All pre war cars look the same)

Terry Davey was a bloody idiot. He drew door locks on the rear door handles on the MK2 Escort manual cover pic...

Maybe it was the {insert dodgy area name} edition.

Despite the fact I used to find those things absolutely repulsive to look at, the engineering that went into them is admirable, it's all very clever (to a troll-like being such as myself). I think that's about the only reason I appreciate them really.

Does anyone remember Bob Freeman? His work appeared in Supercar Classics and Car, absolutely amazing. Few examples pinched from the web.

+1 for being a big fan of Terry Davey.

I bought a Haynes colouring book from the works which had a lot of the classic cutaways in. I carefully scanned them all in and printed off a load to go up in my garage.
