Today I have this great original poster for the 1969 race at Montjuïc. It seems that, like yesterdays race, it was another dull Spanish Grand Prix. Jackie Stewart won, finishing two laps ahead of second placed Bruce McLaren! The race was held here again in 1971 - Jackie Stewart took his third straight victory. This time by only 3 seconds from Jackie Ickx Ferrari. This race was the first Formula One race to use slick tyres (Firestones). In this painting by Tony Simmonds the No. 4 Ferrari of Belgian Jacky Ickx chases the winning No.11 Tyrell-Ford of Jackie Stewart...

Showing his watercolour paintings for the first time at Race Retro, Tony Simmonds will be represented within the exclusive Historic Car Art Gallery. Tony is no stranger to automotive illustration having done magazine illustrations of the subject as long ago as the late 1970's. In this painting the Ferrari of 4th placed Clay Regazzoni leads the Lotus-Ford of Jacky Ickx around Mirabeau during the 1974 Monaco Grand Prix. A limited edition print of this painting will be shown alongside original works by this artist.
