A grinning Racing Ray Williams ran my car in this, the 50th anniversary of Marcos - whilst I parked up Andy's LM500 as the display said 'Low oil pressure' but it wasn't low at all. So I got just one or two laps in... Ray had a few more...

I would love to know more but judging by the tone of this response I dare not ask.

Re: Images From My Past - Nigel Watts Collection
Ever head of Google Terry? Its what most of us have to resort to, to find out what we need to know.
Sometimes we can't, but as stated by Nigel and myself several times, taking a photograph does not endow us with any specific knowledge.
I have an ever growing computer folder full of cars I haven't been able to identify, let alone know what is under the bonnet. It sometimes takes several hours of research and even sending several emails to get any answers - and often, they are dead ends. Now we have so many recreations and replicas, that we no longer even know what is real and what isn't.
Look carefully at any photographs for clues and follow them up...

Terry S,
Like you I did not have a clue what that car # 32 was except it was a fine looking vehicle.
I guess I have been away too long and I hope I don't get picked on but you will find the site below has some interesting information.

Hi Ken, it’s good to see there are still a few of us gentleman who can correspond without sinking to be condescending.
I, along with many many others, greatly appreciate your photos and the effort you put into providing captions for them. It makes viewing so much more enjoyable and informative.
I have spent hours Googling under “Redline” and found nothing.
As you discovered you have to add other bits to Redline, and those I could not determine.
Thanks
Terry
