Thanks Milan. I do have that programme but the film loose leaf is missing a few strips of negs and I mistakenly thought another pic was Ellerslie in February, hence my incorrect guess!

I really appreciate people correcting errors!

Photoshop did a great job of cleaning up those negs. Keep 'em coming...

Prescott Hillclimb May 3rd 1970. Probably one of my all time favourite events. A co-promotion between the Bugatti Owners Club and the Ferrari Owners Club.

Martin Brain's Cooper Chrysler.






I was talking to Tony Roberts just three days ago about the Patsy Burt McLaren - running here with a more streamlined nose cone than usual.


We also spoke about Bob Rose who was a regular not just on the British Hillclimb circuit, but also lower key sprints.


Isn't this just the perfect colour scheme on a bright spring day? Sir Nick Williamson.

Just to promote BRM's ready for the Ganley Festival... Diverse venues

Curborough sprint course - firing up an F1 car for a 900 yard run. Some would say that was BRM's forte in the early days.

Originally, I thought this was 6th August 1951, Gamston - but it isn't! later, I found out that it was the first 1948 Silverstone meeting. Dad must have been there but never mentioned it!... Probably explains why I have a race programme.

Eric , where is Gamston ?? I know there were two in NZ if its a 4CLT......

Gamston was an airfield track in north Nottinghamshire, 1950/51, and was a serious contender for hosting the 1950 British Grand Prix, but lost out to Silverstone.

I have a race programme for August 6th 1951 and I believe that was the first meeting I attended - but obviously no photographs - so far.

However, it appears that this pic was possibly taken at Silverstone - which means my Dad must have been there in 1948, for the British Grand Prix 2nd October. I do have the race programme yet I can't ever remember dad mentioning going, so I must have acquired the programme when clearing out the house.

However, car 11 in the programme is not a Maserati (and it looks like a Maserati to me!), so maybe not so clear cut after all, though the other cars on the same strip of film appear to match the programme. Weird.


Aha - just had an email from the UK confirming that it was in fact the British GP and this is Luigi Villoresi driving. It also accurately dates a couple of family pics on the same film. Digital photography is so much easier - just as long as everyone has the date set correctly on their camera...

*The plot thickens... Number 11 appears to be Ascari according to other sources. Aaaargh!

A real mix of pics this time - recently scanned. I am skipping all over the place in terms of dates and just grabbing films at random and with over 400 to choose from, I have my work cut out! I haven't yet made a start on the as yet unlogged slides.

Cuth Harrison's ERA had a 'streamlined' front.


Love the Bugattis!


That lovely Felday BRM again...


Wridgeway Horton ran this Jag for many years - then I believe, totalled it - and shifted to a Vauxall Firenza.

the felday brm in post 439 has a lovely mechanic as well

I think she may be looking for the driver of the Mini Marcos in the background...

1989 Pukekohe, January 16th I believe. [CENTER]

I haven't even tried to date this one yet or even identify the driver/car! Possibly December 1984?

We need more of this sort of car running!


Just for JAFA
