Description
This iconic image of our beloved Jaguar F Type “Poppy Car” has been beautifully recreated by one of Mission Motorsport’s own beneficiaries.
The original photo captured the Poppy Car in front of a Typhoon Eurofighter which was taken during an event. Linda Noble, a former Cpl in the Adjutant General Corps, used her time during lockdown to create the piece, using more than 240,000 diamantes.
It took her six weeks to complete and a serious amount of patience. In her words “she wanted to do something for us because of all we had done for her”.
Do not underestimate the size of this amazing artwork, you will need a decent amount of wall space. Image size 127cm x 86cm
