Old Racing Cars Mug | Vintage 1950s & 60s Sports Car Gift

There’s a reason the 1950s and 60s are still considered the most beautiful era in motorsport. Long-bonneted sports cars in scarlet, silver, and British Racing Green. Le Mans, the Mille Miglia, the Targa Florio. Drivers who raced in open cockpits with nothing but a leather helmet and sheer nerve. The Old Racing Cars Mug celebrates that golden decade with a vibrant full-wrap collage of classic sports racing cars from the era when the machines were as elegant as they were fast.

It’s a mug for people who appreciate the shape of a 1950s sports racer as much as its speed. The kind of person who can identify a car by its bodywork alone, or who simply loves the colour, drama, and romance of vintage motorsport at its absolute peak. Whether it’s a gift for a classic car enthusiast, a Le Mans devotee, or someone who thinks the 1960s produced the most beautiful racing cars ever built — this one is exactly right.

Every mug is hand-pressed in our family-run Sussex studio using premium ceramic blanks, with a full-wrap design that looks striking from every angle — no blank reverse, no half-measures. Prints are vivid, fade-resistant, and tested to withstand over 800 wash cycles at 45°C. Choose from nine interior colours across multiple sizes and finishes — classic 11oz and 15oz ceramic, lightweight Bone China for a more refined feel, the generous 20oz Pint size, or the taller Latte Mug for a café-style brew.

We back every mug with our 1-Year Print Guarantee — if the print fades or peels under normal use, we’ll replace it. No quibbles. Hand-checked, carefully packed in double-walled smash-proof packaging, and dispatched ready for the grid.
