Earls Court 100M Limited Edition Prints

In commemoration of Gerry Coker's upcoming 93rd birthday (June 22?) I thought it would be neat to illustrate the one of the two cars that were presented at the 1955 Earls Court Motor Show. In addition to the striking black and pink (dusty rose) color combination it's interesting to see the differences in the two-tone paint lines from the production cars. This example and the sister car—TAC620— in it's Pacific Green and white livery must have certainly made a colorful statement. I'd like to thank Al Alfano and Reid Trummel who were very helpful in confirming a few of the important details and differences between the show and production cars.

In addition to a few JPEGs of the illustration, I've included a couple of the photos of the original car provided by Al Alfano. If interested, you can order one of these limited edition commemorative prints here.
