Bfg Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 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. Leyland Worldmaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil1971 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Does anyone remember Bob Freeman? His work appeared in Supercar Classics and Car, absolutely amazing. Few examples pinched from the web.

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.
