If I had access to a Tardis... David Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: Richard Fridd on 16 May, 2014, 03:08:56 PM I haven't seen that one before, only this better known photo.
Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: JohnMillham on 16 May, 2014, 03:49:39 PM I haven't seen that one before, only this better known photo. Was that David Piper in the Flaminia? He used to do very well in one. Not so well in the Flavia, as he didn't like the front wheel drive!Regards, John Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: DavidLaver on 16 May, 2014, 08:05:46 PM Not that day:

Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: lanciab20 on 25 June, 2014, 02:40:33 PM Interesting pictures. Anyone got any more?
Regards Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: Richard Fridd on 25 June, 2014, 04:20:16 PM One from another (old) thread
Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: lanciab20 on 26 June, 2014, 07:38:56 PM David Piper lodged with John Maltby for a time (see LMC book) and while he was driving for Ferrari brought back several cars from Italy including a now ell known B20 UK reg 73DLH which I bought from JM and owned for several years. I did not know he was a Flaminia man. I have a 1967 3B Coupe.

Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: Richard Fridd on 27 June, 2014, 05:27:06 PM Picture taken at Spa in the early 60s..... Very interesting. Anymore where that one came from?Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: DavidLaver on 27 June, 2014, 05:29:08 PM It makes the Lotus look like a peddle car... Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: dannels on 27 June, 2014, 06:27:54 PM I believe its a touring car race at Spa in 1964 - the car was driven by Pascal Ickx and Georges Harris
Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: stanley sweet on 30 June, 2014, 11:13:21 AM Even a pedal car makes an Elan look like a pedal car. I remember seeing an Elan next to an original MX-5. It made you wonder how a grown man could get in it. I know about rose-tinted specs, but I think in the case of motorsport it really WAs better then. To be able to mooch around among the cars and drivers and watch someone like Clark doing 7 races a day in different cars - unbeatable. Lucky we still have a thriving historic racing scene.

Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: DavidLaver on 12 February, 2015, 05:09:04 PM Nice finds.
Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: dannels on 12 February, 2015, 06:46:16 PM 1979 - so not in period but a rare sight racing:
Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: Richard Fridd on 13 February, 2015, 09:26:58 AM So any idea who it is, or other memories of the event?
Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: dannels on 13 February, 2015, 10:38:31 AM Jeremy Hall won the HSCC in it in'79 I believe
Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: dannels on 14 February, 2015, 11:15:46 AM Monaco.....
Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: Richard Fridd on 14 February, 2015, 02:31:18 PM Thanks, not an expensive car in 1979? Did Jeremy have any other cars? I have seen his rally Fulvia HF and alluminium Fulvia Sport, both of which were for sale around the time I bought my own S1 Fulvia Sport. I can't think what the Monaco event could be though?
Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: DavidLaver on 14 February, 2015, 04:55:30 PM "Round the houses" at the end of a rally? Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: dannels on 15 February, 2015, 12:30:39 PM 1962 Monte Carlo rally
Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: Richard Fridd on 16 February, 2015, 03:23:48 PM I see there is an extra wiper at the top of the windscreen, similar to some Aurelias.
Title: Re: Brands 6hrs - 1964 Post by: Richard Fridd on 16 February, 2015, 04:40:51 PM Back to Brands Hatch, with a change of position in relation to the Jaguar in the earlier photo. Also front and rear.
