The E93A Prefect and the 100E Anglia were Alan's dad's. Both being black meant a real leap of faith once the layout was done.
Lots of pressure on an HB pencil. Once you start there is no going back!
These are Alan's cars. The A35 was at the other extreme, a very light grey. A gentle touch with a 2H pencil was required. The Morris 1000 needed a similar approach and some research into 'Moggie Wipers', I learnt a lot about them very quickly! The wheels on the MG A are quite distinctive and getting the punched holes looking right took a while. The hub caps on the Sunbeam Stiletto were, how should I put this?, a nightmare! These are much smaller than I usually draw (A3 paper is my size of choice) so this level of detail (especially number plates) demands a deep breath and a steady hand.
Alan bought his Morris from his sister; so the brief was to make two drawings of that car.
The easiest route would have been to layout two identical drawings, but that would have been cheating.
This one is from a different viewpoint. Same size (A4) but in its own frame.
The three frames (2 drawings - 4 drawings - 1 drawing) were all hand made from matching grey framing with hand cut masks by
Bernadette Marbrow.
In the collection of Mr A Buxton and his sister.
