There is edge and corner wear and scattered tears; restored loss at the bottom right corner; some surface smudges/toning/abrasions; restored top corner pin holes; despite its defects, this great British automobile poster should display very nicely once framed.
An original launch poster for the first-generation "Bugeye" Sprite, which was one of the most loved small sports cars ever built. The red Sprite profile dominates the lower half, a checkered racing flag banner carrying the name above, period black and white action photographs arranged across the top. Clean, confident period automotive advertising design.
The Bugeye Sprite has a devoted global following, and original factory promotional material from its 1958 launch year is genuinely scarce.
