British Motor Heritage Ltd. (BMH) is thrilled to announce the results of their unique collaboration with renowned artist Alan Reullier, bringing together the worlds of art and automotive craftsmanship.
As Artist in Residence, Reullier has been given free rein to infuse BMH’s original engineering drawings – each one a historic document in its own right – with his own vibrant and meticulous style. He has also been working among the production team at BMH to create a one-off artwork directly on the new bodyshell of a classic Mini.
This stunning collection will be available to view at the RBW showroom in London from June 5th.
Enthusiasts and art lovers are also invited to a special VIP event on June 12th from 6pm at the same venue. Guests will be able to meet Alan Reuiller, along with the MDs of British Motor Heritage and RBW Electric Cars.
Located in the heart of London, the RBW showroom (which opened last year) is the ideal place to discover RBW’s range of brand new, fully electric classics. Like Reullier’s artworks, these beautifully-built cars boldly reimagine Britain’s motoring heritage, preserving and updating our legacy for the modern era.
ABOUT THE ARTWORKS
Each engineering blueprint offers an authentic glimpse into a vehicle’s development history, now overlaid with Reuiller’s thought-provoking designs. The result is a dynamic collection that pays homage to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the originals. They represent a tiny sample of around one million automotive diagrams, salvaged by BMH when Rover Group was sold.
Blueprints included in the exhibition include a Rover P5 Coupé from 1963, a Triumph TR6 from 1969, Series Land Rovers from 1962, 1968 and 1969 (including a Lightweight), a Rover SD1 from 1976, Minis from 1966 and 1976, and Standard Motor Company components in the 1920s.
“We’re proud to be collaborating with Alan Reullier,” said Graham Payne, Managing Director of BMH. “His creativity is helping to draw attention to this unique collection of diagrams, and he approaches them with the dedication of a real enthusiast. We have a huge resource here, and we’re working hard to make sure it survives into the future. Alan’s work is giving a new dimension to that mission.”
