If an artist is present at an exhibition, sometimes conversation may result in a slight reduction in price. Most artists who exhibit do want to sell their work! Limited edition prints are a lot cheaper than original art and range from about £40 to £200 depending on quality, size of run and who produced the original artwork. Additional value is added (and paid for!) if famous drivers and/or the artist have signed the prints. Always ensure limited editions are what they say they are, and are clearly numbered, having a certificate of authenticity supplied indicating the edition number. These are normally supplied by the publisher and signed by the artist. Also consider where you see these publicised – some prints take years to sell.

THE BIG NAMES ~ I have deliberately based these guidelines on Guild and personal experiences. I have been to exhibitions and auctions where the pioneers of motoring art – F.Gordon Crosby, Brian de Grineau, Roy Nockolds, Terence Cuneo and more contemporary talents such as Walter Gotschke, Dexter Brown, Michael and Graham Turner, Gordon Horner, Barry Rowe and Alfredo de la Maria have sold original art at a very different price level – I have not included these luminaries in my price guide. The majority do however offer their excitingly different styles as affordable prints. CLICK ON PAGE THREE BUTTON
