Guy from Duffel (BE) (1961)

Guy from Duffel in Belgium made some clip art (pin up) cartoons for the Austin Eight Register. in the past.

Guy is disabled and spends hours making automotive pin up clip art. He uses his own specific style.

After sending Guy some images from brochures etc, he send some Austin Eight related (pin up) clip art in return. Also he made some Christmas greetings clip art. I included those as well in this section

Thanks for making these for the Austin Eight register Guy.

More of Guy's work is found here.

In the early years of the Austin Eight Register it was Tony Phillips-Smith who made the Christmas card cartoons for the Austin Eight Register.

Tony Phillips-Smith is a well known cartoonist signing his work Apsley but also produced line drawings of cars. Cartoons published in many one marque club magazines and general motoring magazines. Best known for his art used by the Vintage Sports Car Club.
