In my office: 2025 McKlein calendars

Since your family probably isn't reading this, it's safe to ask  what more signals we need to send them so that our gifts are all car-related?

OK, we can't expect to get that Porsche 911 that we've been dreaming about, but there is no shortage of options at prices little above than a pack of socks, capable of making us smile throughout the year and beyond.

This is the case with the beautiful McKlein calendars that, once again, will decorate my office throughout 2025 and probably afterwards.

A gift that lasts.

Well, I know what you're thinking: “But who needs a paper calendar these days?” It would also be possible to live without a mechanical wristwatch and without a manual gearbox in your car, but it wouldn't be the same, would it? In addition to the practicality, there is the pleasure of looking at the place where we like to spend time and seeing it decorated with images that make us dream.

Plus, McKlein's large-format wall calendars have served me well beyond the year they belong to. This is because the quality and size of the print allows it to be cut and turned into a framed poster which usually would cost, on its own, much more than the large format calendar. 

Rally Calendar 2025 – The Wider View

Rallying is where McKLein's roots are. The company's founders are the charismatic photographers Reinhard Klein and Colin McMaster, both legendary in their craft. In the meantime, Tony Welam would join the company which, in addition to functioning as a photography agency, is also a publishing company.

The two founding photographers are deeply connected to rallying, and Reinhard Klein is alsothe founderof “Slowly Sideways”, the group of historic rally car owners who grace a round of carefully selected international events. That's how I had the pleasure to meet him in person, while he was rallying his amazing MG Metro 6R4, in Portugal.

Therefore, this large format calendar (95x48cm) is one of the main products in the McKlein calendar, bringing together the most spectacular images from the 2024 WRC. The “wide” format greatly favors the images.

The price of this calendar is 49€.

Motorsport  Classic 2025

Although it was born through rallying, McKlein grew and expanded its archive into other areas, with the acquisition of other photographers portfolios, specialized in different areas of motorsport, from the 50s onwards.

Thanks to this, it is possible for McKlein to publish this fabulous calendar with extraordinary images from the car's history in a generous format (67x48cm).

Formula 1, endurance, tourism and rallies fill the 25 pages of this calendar. It'ss possible to spend hours appreciating the details of each image, for example, the starting grid of the 1965 Nürburgring 1000km, where the number of dream cars is incredible.

This beautiful calendar also costs €49.
 

Desktop Rally Calendar

While it's true that my computer is necessarily full of car imagery, this may not be your case, depending on your occupation. Therefore, there's nothing better than having a calendar next to your screen, that allows you to “clear” your eyes and find motivation to work for a few more hours.

The desktop calendar may be small, but McKlein was generous with the images, compiling no less than 56 photos of rallying past and present. From Group IV to the latest generation Rally 1, there are images from every era and almost every iconic model, changing every fortnight.

For just €12, it’s an excellent purchase and a beautiful gift!
