Pirelli and a Unipart Calendars. A quantity of calendars from the 1980s in cardboard original packaging, opened, to include:
~ Two Pirelli 1984 calendars, one serial numbers, 39995 and 25570. 1984 finally saw the hotly awaited return of the Calendar. Under a new art director, Martyn Walsh, the Calendar went back to its roots, including discreet, almost subliminal references to the Group’s hero product: tyres. On the beaches of the Bahamas, alongside the beautiful models photographed for the 1984 Calendar by Uwe Ommer, mysterious tracks appeared in the sand: the tread pattern of Pirelli’s latest creation, the P6 tyre. In terms of product placement it was a subtle but all-pervasive presence, evoking the technology that dominated the era. Pages mounted on plastic by screw buttons, one button missing on one calendar.
~ Two 1985 Pirelli calendars, Photographer Norman Parkinson featuring models Anna, Cecilia, Iman and Lena wearing outfits by top fashion designers.
~ A 1985 Unipart Calendar, photographed by Patrick Lichfield in Bali, Assisted by Peter Kain and Chalky Whyte. Loose sheets contained by a metal grip binder. No serial number.
