Volvo "yes it will fly" 1983 Vintage Advert Art

On all orders above €75

A time when turbochargers screamed, rivalries peaked, and home video was the closest you could get to the paddock. This ad offered a £9.99 season highlights VHS, available by mail order with proof of purchase from Mobil’s performance oil, the same oil used by the title winning Williams team.

The 1986 season was pure drama. Prost, Piquet, and Mansell traded wins all year, until Mansell’s tyre exploded in Adelaide and handed the championship to Prost.One of the most memorable finishes of the decade.

And since this was 1986, you couldn’t just order online. You filled out the form in the lower corner, clipped your receipt, and waited for the tape to arrive by post. That process alone makes this ad feel like an artifact from another world. Slower, more tangible, and rich with nostalgia.

Framed and preserved, this piece belongs to a chapter when racing was raw, advertising was direct, and VHS tapes were how we kept the memories alive.

Highly collectible among motorsport and F1 enthusiasts, this is a rare opportunity to own an authentic print from the golden age of analog racing.

These posters are reproductions of authentic vintage advertisements and may show signs of wear and age. Most of our customers agree that the preserved patina enhances the overall charm and vintage feel, but it is something to be aware of.

Larger formats may appear softer at close viewing distances, as the original advertisements were often smaller and have been carefully restored at a larger size.

For collectors seeking original pieces, we recommend Calimera Originals.
