A Sports car in a workshop is a 1944 by Wilfrid R. Addey, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Wilfrid Addey’s drawing shows a sleek 1940s sports car in a busy garage. He used pen, ink and wash to capture the car’s curves and the way light falls on it. This style of car was built to break land speed records. Addey worked in advertising for decades. His work covered everything from cars to beer ads. He also drew satirical cartoons and pin-up girls.
