Great British cars immortalised on Royal Mail stamps

Throughout the 20th century a series of great British cars have put their stamp on the world, now the Royal Mail has put some of these iconic motors on stamps.

The Auto Legends stamp collection celebrates the six thoroughbred British cars that led the world with their artistry and engineering. Alongside them are four workhorses that may have been less celebrated but have still done more than their fair share to further the British car industry’s cause over the years.
