I have been helping Bill Bradley - former Porsche racer and preparation specialist - to trace photographs of the various cars he has raced through the years.
We are stuck with the following races where Bill would like to find pictures of his entries in action.
The races are :
1964
May 31 Nurburgring 1,000 kms Car no 122 Austin Healey (770KNX) Bradley/Baker
June 21 Le Mans 24 hrs. Car no 53 Austin Healey (770 KNX) Bradley/Baker
July 5 Reims 12-Hr Race Car no 56 Triumph Spitfire Piot/Bertout.
Oct 11 Montlhery 1000 kms Car no 57 Triumph Spitfire Piot/Marnat
1965
July 4 Reims 12-hr Car no 35 Ferrari GTO Sutcliffe/Bradley
1966
Aug 6 Crystal Palace Car no 131 Triumph Spitfire
Aug 20 Oulton Park Car no 76 Triumph Spitfire
Sep 11 Snetterton Car no 89 Triumph Spitfire
Oct 8 Silverstone Car no ? Triumph Spitfire, same car as Snetterton. Marque race.
If anyone has any pictures from these events let me know as Bill would like copies.

There's a good picture of the Sprite in 'Les Anglaises Au Mans' by Dominique Pascal and several in 'Les Healey au Mans 1949 - 1970' by Herve Chevalier - mostly stationary but also some in action. The photos in the latter book are attributted to 'Beroul'.

I've had a look through my Ferrari books including the Maurice Louche Emotion Ferrari work and all the GTO specific ones but nothing of 4491 at Reims except a distance shot from the rear of the car broken down on P348 in Michael Shoen's The Ferrari Cobra Wars.
Spa and Nurburgring yes in several places, but otherwise nothing at Reims. I recall from 43 years ago that Motor Sport covered this race so the August or September issue of that year (I think it had the winning NART 365P2 on the cover) might have a shot or alternatively the pics from this race might be somewhere in the LAT archive. Just as an aside the LAT website has a b/w of this but not the GTO, but there's more in the archive than appears on the website.
Meanwhile its down to local sources and continental snappers. Perhaps it might be worth trying Michel Bollee.
Good luck!
