Motorsport Images has the largest motoring picture collection in the world. The archive houses approximately 18 million images of which in the region of half are black and white negatives and glass plates. The library is made up of images from the world of motor sport since it began and every conceivable road car since it's invention. This incredible archive is the result of the amalgamation of a number of previously separate archives, which are now housed under one roof.

Many of the images are published pictures from the magazines owned and bought by Haymarket over the years and the archive contains the original prints from the very first 'Autocar' issue published in 1895 right through to the present day issue. 'The Motor' archive contains more sporting images with black and white negatives, glass plate and acetate from 1924 - subjects include road cars, sprints, hill climbs, motor shows and Grands Prix.

The original Teesdale Company supplied pictures to 'MotorSport' magazine (founded in 1924) and Motoring News (founded in 1955) and has over 4 million black & white negatives of motor racing events from the 1920's through to the early 1990's. The first colour images appeared in the mid 1950's and 30 years of unpublished 35mm colour images remain in the LAT Black Books. LAT now supplies the Haymarket Media Group, commercial clients, the worldwide media and agencies with motor sport coverage from around the world from Formula 1 to karting.

The 'Autosport' archive contains images from the world's leading motorsport weekly. Since 1950 all aspects of motor racing from Formula 1, Le Mans and sports cars, rallying, single seaters and club racing have been photographed and archived in colour and black and white formats.

After winning the pole position from his first Grand Prix in F1, it was at Watkins Glen for the Lotus team in 1968, Mario Andretti recurrence an extraordinary "first" by winning his first GP ran for red Ferrari in 1971 at Kyalami in South Africa.
Back in its "heart" team, Lotus, he is seen here talking casually with the Boss Colin Chapman, and his colleague Ronnie Peterson during the F1 GP at Brands Hatch in 1978, he will abandon because of an engine failure.
World Champion F1 1978 Mario Andretti is one of the greatest champions of motorsport, and certainly the largest amongst Americans because his talent was displayed on all terrains: from F1 to endurance (2nd of 24 Le Mans in 1995), through the Indy. His last race as a driver will be trials for 500 miles in ... 2003!
