The "Ferrari Enzo" is actually a LaFerrari. I'm not sure if the preferred term is "LaFerrari" or "Ferrari LaFerrari"; you could probably put "LaFerrari", or "Ferrari S.p.A.", but definitely not Ferrari Enzo.
The "Ferrari Fioravanti" (Des. 306,274) is a Ferrari F40.
The Lotus from Mar 3, 2009 has the wrong patent number; it should be 587,629.
Your Porsche patent designs say "Porsche" and "Porsche GT3 RS" and "Porsche racing car body". If you're going to list Ferrari as "Ferrari S.P.A", and McLaren as "McLaren Automotive Limited", you should list Porsche as "Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche Ag", or at the very least "Porsche Ag", for consistency. Some of the Porsche posters don't even list the inventor.
Same deal with "Aston Martin" vs "Aston Martin Lagonda Limited", "Automobili Lmaborghini" vs "Automobili Lmaborghini S.P.A.", "Lotus" vs "Lotus Cars Limited", and "Maserati" vs "Maserati S.P.A.".
While I'm at it, there should be a period after the A in "Ferrari, S.p.A.". Some of your designs have the period, some do not. The Ferrari race car (710,252) even says "Assignee", which none of the other patents do.
I realize it might be too late to change these designs, but I thought I should point these out, because the inconsistencies bothered me. If, instead of the patent assignee, you'd like to display the vehicle depicted in the art, I'd be happy to go through and identify (to the best of my ability) each of them for you. Let me know.
Thanks for making these! I bought some of the patent prints from the first drop and they're really great!
TomZThanks for the scrutiny Tomz. It is not too late! We will research all proposed changes on Tuesday and post any corrections before the sale ends. I think this is the first batch we did that did not have patent headers since most of these are in the new patent format so we will make sure to be much more careful on these moving forward.
As for the car names I will have to look into that again. I was told by a friend in the industry that when most of these designs are patented the projects are under code names and the model name comes a bit later in the process which is why they are not listed on most of the patent filings. Some of them looked like certain models bit with a number that looked similar and never ended up hitting production it was hard to tell 100%. Thanks for the corrections though and I'll see what we can do to get sorted on Tuesday.
Rest assured all final prints will have any and all corrections made before printing. If you receive anything that ever had incorrect info we are happy to replace it:

InkedandScreened-SupportAlso, "Des. 51,126" - looks like it's a 599 GTB. Though... quite impossible they would have patented it in 1994 ! Any chance you get your hands on a 456 design ?

InkedandScreened-SupportI appreciate your willingness to make corrections, but my esteemed colleague is correct regarding the naming. The LaFerrari is officially the Ferrari LaFerrari, the internal model designation or project code is F 150. Also the Porsche Racing Car is the Porsche GT1 that never made it to the streets, but most certainly was an FIA GT1 race car (see 1996 FIA GT Championship)
