Please be assured this is not self-aggrandisement, ego or indeed self-promotion.

In fact it is not LAT.
See you at Goodwood hopefully.

I should have checked further, Paul. I note that, oddly, Motor Sport don't appear to describe or credit this month's cover photo, but it is the same one which appeared on the cover of the Bluemel/Pourret 250GTO book, where it is credited to Phipps Photographic.
here it is the book of this pic

While we are about it: I'm trying to find out who, if anyone, holds the archive of Patrick Benjafield, who covered the 1962 TT for Autosport. None of the usual suspects (LAT, Sutton, Klementaski etc) hold them - has anyone got any ideas?

It was such a lovely time of my life, this new interest in motor racing I had, what a pity television coverage wasn't as it is today, the TT would have been live from start to finish on Eurosport I expect.... ah well, never mind eh!;)

Contact the photo library of the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, Hants - I believe they hold Patrick's material.

Many thanks Doug - I shall certainly get in touch with them.

Revisiting this thread I decided to google Patrick Benjafield and attempt to find out where his photos have ended up.
This gave me the National Archives but lacking the IQ and mental acuity of your average Bletchley Park decoder I had to give up, the website is, at least for me, a labyrinthine maze of byzantine complexity.
Perhaps somebody more accomplished could find it but meanwhile I will ring them up during office hours and report back.

Further to the above I was hoping that reference to Patrick Benjafield was a link to another site (the National Archives being I think mainly about matters governmental/legal etc.) but it turned out to be some arcane matter involving a school in Surrey.

Last Saturday was the 50th anniversary of Innes Ireland's win at this race. Will the winning GTO be at the Revival?

It will, but doing a demo, not racing.
