Every car drawn so far, and what happens if yours is not one of them

The short answer

The list is short on purpose. Every car on it was drawn panel by panel, then checked against a finished poster before it was allowed on sale. That is slower than generating a catalogue of every model ever built, and it is the reason the specification block on each poster can be trusted.

The cars drawn so far

Generated from the live catalogue, so it stays correct as cars are added. Each name links to that car’s builder.

Why the list is this specific

A car joins the catalogue only after two separate checks. The drawing is compared against the finished poster it came from, and the figures on its specification block are signed off one at a time. Until both are done the car does not appear anywhere on the shop, which is why the list grows in small groups rather than continuously.

It also means the list cannot quietly include something unfinished. The same function that decides whether a car can be sold decides whether it appears above, so a car held back for another look disappears from this page too.

If you want to see what that checking involves, the journal covers how the specification block is checked and how a car print is drawn.

Why some models appear twice

Several models are listed more than once. That is not duplication. When a facelift changed the front of a car, the old drawing stops being right, so the facelift gets its own drawing, its own year range and its own entry.

The year range printed with each car is the thing to read. It describes the car in the drawing rather than the generation the drawing belongs to. A range that ends before your registration year usually means your car has a different face and belongs to the other entry. There is more on that in why a facelift needs a separate drawing.

Engines work the other way round. Where two engines share a body, one drawing is honestly both cars, so the builder offers the engine as a choice and the poster prints the figures for whichever you pick.

If your car is not here

A missing car is not an oversight to be reported. It simply has not been drawn, and no catalogue entry can be created without the drawing existing first. What can be done is a commission, where your own photographs become the reference for a new drawing of your actual car.

Before sending anything, it is worth reading how to photograph a car for an illustration. The photographs decide what can be drawn, and a detail that no photograph shows cannot be invented.

Making sure it is your car

Finding the model is the first half. The second is the detail that makes the drawing recognisably yours rather than a picture of the same model: the paint, the registration, and whether the face in the drawing matches the face on your car.

The builder handles the first two live. The third is worth checking yourself against the year range, and what makes your own car recognisable in a drawing covers what else people notice about their own car.

Questions people actually ask

Which cars can you get as a print?

Every car in the catalogue on this page. Each one is a separate drawing with its own checked specification block. The list is generated from the live catalogue, so what you see here is what is genuinely available rather than a list somebody remembered to update.

Why is my car not in the catalogue?

Because it has not been drawn yet. Each car takes a long time to draw panel by panel, so the catalogue grows a few cars at a time rather than covering every model at once. A car that is not listed can still be commissioned from photographs.

Why does the same model appear more than once?

Because a facelift that changed the front of the car needs its own drawing. Selling one drawing for both would mean sending an owner a picture of a nose their car does not have, so each face is listed separately with its own year range.

Can you add my car to the catalogue?

A commission produces a drawing of your exact car from your photographs. Whether that drawing later joins the catalogue for everyone is a separate decision, and it depends on the car rather than on the commission.

How do I know the drawing matches my car?

Check the year range printed with each car. It describes the car in the drawing rather than the whole generation, so a range that stops before your registration year usually means a different face and a different drawing.
