PRINT Fuji ’ 91 From $27 society6.com/jakeyorath

MODEL Mini champs Porsche 9591:18 £77 racingmodels.com
The 959 is comfortably one of Porsche’s most fascinating cars – initially designed for Group B, it packed some of the era’s most advanced automotive tech. This metal model by Minichamps isn’t quite as high-tech, but it’s fantastically detailed and a lot easier to fit on your desk.
POSTER Bullitt by Nicolas Bannister £40 richardgoodallgallery.com
Nicolas Bannister has produced dozens of unique posters focusing on the rear-three-quarter views of iconic movie and TV cars. This image of Frank Bullitt’s Mustang is probably the coolest (against strong competition) and, like all of Bannister’s prints, features a quote from the movie.
