Prints of these period posters are being offered by Biller Antiques on ebay. Some of these would look great in company with an appropriate model











I just bought this one myself:







This one will look great with the forthcoming WNW AEG kit:














The Austro Daimler engine was the forerunner to the 120 hp and 160 hp Beardmore engines:














Another favourite of mine:

Actually quite easily done; you can do it completely online with a place like Custom Ink. I made a bunch of Alfa 1900TI t-shirts based on a 1950s Nardi poster ad this way. They came out great. Cheaper in quantity, of course.
