The 1957 Mitcham Foods Motor Racing set is a vintage 25-card series issued in the United Kingdom by Mitcham Foods, a British food company that sold groceries and packaged foods in the 1950s. The cards measure approximately 2 1/8 × 3 inches (54 mm × 86 mm) and were distributed as promotional items, typically included in grocery products or obtained through special offers. The set features prominent drivers such as Stirling Moss, Mike Hawthorn, and Juan Manuel Fangio, along with iconic racing cars like the Mercedes‑Benz 300 SLR, Ferrari sports cars, Jaguar D‑Type, and Maserati, representing Formula One, sports car, and other major racing events of the era. These cards are valued by collectors today for their historical significance, mid‑century design, and relative rarity, especially as complete sets or for key individual cards featuring top drivers and famous cars.
