This seemed like the best place to post this photo of Bruce Robertson's Falcon GTHO,not sure who took photo but it is a good one.[ATTACH]23580[/ATTACH]

Even as a young fella I was supporting motorsport financially...I use to buy ice creams from the Hampden Dairy on my way home from school!

[Steve Holmes]

Brilliant images Ross! Just outstanding.

That they are Steve, just goes to show `how cool is old school!'

[Bryan]

Fantastic photos, Ross.

My first exposure to motorsport was being taken to the B&H as a kid in the early '70s - the FIAT 125T and Charger are my abiding memories.

Remember the Bruce McLaren Trust has 100,000 photographs running from the 50's to the 90's. They have owned these for 14 years now and have been steadily scanning and cataloguing them.

Many thanks for naming all those drivers - my programme has long since disappeared.
These seem to be quite popular so here's a few more.

What is the purpose of the object above the drivers side window?

[Oldfart]

What is the purpose of the object above the drivers side window?

Coloured lights for crews to identify their cars if memory is still any good.

Coloured lights for crews to identify their cars if memory is still any good.

Ah, so a little like the codriver lights in V8 Supercars or the Class lights in WEC

[Oldfart]

More like so you could pick out "your" car in the dark.

[Allan]

Some folks used them to signal their requirements at the next pit stop, fuel tyres brakes etc

[BMCBOY]

I hope people aren't getting bored with these! Here are another batch from 1975
