Available for auction is an original canvas painting of the Gulf Porsche 917 by US-based automotive artist Mike Zagorski. The Gulf livery #21 car is the John Wyer Automotive Engineering LTD 917-016 car that raced in the 24h of Le Mans in 1970. The painting measures approximately 30” x 40”x 1 3/8” and is acrylic paint on canvas.
About the Artist: Originally from Scotland, Mike Zagorski is a Colorado, USA-based artist focused on painting Formula 1 and automotive subjects in a style combining realism to capture the main subject and impressionism for backgrounds. In addition to obsessing over capturing small details, he gravitates towards painting wet races with intermediate or full wet tires, and airborne water droplets! Trained and licensed as an architect, after a 20-year hiatus from artwork while working in the AEC industry, he started painting during the pandemic in 2020. In a very short time, his work has made it into collections around the world and is owned by current and former F1 drivers, employees within the F1 industry, and fans of the sport. The buyer is responsible for shipping, shipping insurance, handling, and transactional fees.

@My911turbos Jason - no problem with shipping to Canada or a local drop off.
Hi Mike - are you able to ship to Canada? Alternatively, My brother lives in Cherry Creek, Denver, which appears relatively close to you - assuming you head to Denver every now and again perhaps you could simply drop it off? Either of those options possible?
Best,
Jason
