Oops, Cooper #31 was in post #11 with Stilwell's 250F Maserati.

There was a vintage car "race" on the programme in 1957, but the car numbers weren't listed, only makes and drivers. I was there as a 14-year-old seeing my first ever motor race, but have to say honestly that I dont remember very much

Pretty sure the #66 Chevy coupe would be Ron Sylvesters, the example he rolled a season or two later, and the one that pre-dates the Sylvester family still own.

The Sprague Anglia, in the background Gary is chatting to Leo Leonard while Ernie and either Speed Richardt or Peter Wilson are under it. The size of the thighs suggest that it is Speed rather than Pumpkin. Can't think who the one in blue is

I am trying to find a way that I can present the very small images taken from scanned 35mm negatives so they can be seen at a slightly bigger size without distortion. As these are of the McBegg I thought I would use these as a test.
