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 . . .

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.

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.

+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.
