Crash Ford Stunt World Record 1978
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Capturing the Thrill of a Daring Feat: Stunt Driver Mick Stirrups Shatters British Record in Jaw-Dropping Zephyr Car Jump". In this print by Arthur Sidey, we witness an adrenaline-fueled moment frozen in time. It was the 28th of May, 1978, at the iconic Thanet Raceway in Kent when stunt driver Mick Stirrups fearlessly defied gravity and shattered records with his death-defying feat. With nerves of steel and a Ford Zephyr as his trusty steed, Stirrups launched himself off a ramp, soaring through the air like a daredevil bird. The crowd held their breaths as he cleared not one or two but an astounding nineteen cars stacked up beneath him. Gasps turned into cheers as he landed atop several vehicles before expertly skidding on just two wheels to bring his heart-stopping performance to an unharmed finish. This remarkable display of skill and precision earned Stirrups a place in history books as he broke the British record for car jumps that day. The photograph captures both the raw power unleashed by man and machine and the sheer entertainment value that such daring stunts provide. Arthur Sidey's lens immortalizes this unforgettable moment from our past - an era where courage knew no bounds and limits were meant to be pushed. This print stands as a testament to human audacity while reminding us all that sometimes it takes risking everything to achieve greatness.
