1938 Donington Grand Prix photographic prints, 14 later digital prints from period trackside action photographs, each 6 by 8in.; sold with 11 digital prints of 1950s-60s BRM drivers, each enlarged from digital scans of original ORMA postcards, plus a scan of a Roy Salvadori signed photo, all 6 by 9in. black and white (26) This race was remarkable for two reasons. First, it marked another Tazio Nuvolari victory for Auto Union. Second, having been due to take place on October 1st, the German and Italian teams were recalled and it had to be postponed until the 22nd, after the threatened German invasion of Czechoslovakia, that created the 'Munich Crisis', would be ended by Neville Chamberlain's now infamous ''Peace In Our Time'' speech.
