Jack Brady just sent me some of his racing photos from the late 50's early 60's.
Here is one example titled 1960 June Sprints Augie and Andry:

Brilliant, Cliff. Just look at the colour of the Scarab,- always a welcome marque with me,- the angle of slide of the SWB250 in the rough, and the neat MG.

Very nice!

The dirt hillclimb is, of course, Pikes Peak.

Cliff: The Red Birdcage #2 you have posted is: Jack Hinkle in his first Birdcage Maserati and #91 looks like Bobby Aylward in his Maserati 250S.

all research Willem Oosthoek.

As a car nut and a photo nut, I love threads like this.

Many thanks.

I believe the #95 car is George Reed's 0770TR, into which he apparently put a Ford V8 for 1963 and 1964. More info here:

http://www.barchetta...0TR.250TR59.htm

There is a photo on the following webpage of how the car looks now, owned by John Mozart:

The #7 car is, I think, 0766TR, the 1959 Sebring winner, now owned by Cavallino Holdings.

Hmmm...maybe, but also so obviously a latter-day restoration, mit layer upon layer of clear lacquer. No sports-racing or monoposto Ferrari looked like that in the Fifties!

Here are the last three (I think). I've gone through a couple of thousand
slides to come up with these. It has been very fun hunting for me! Thanks
to all who have looked! Cheers,

#71 Testa Rossa is in the EM class and the #15 Testa Rossa is in the DM class.

Class D has a 3000cc upper limit, so faster (on paper at least) than Class E 2000
#71 will be a V12 250TR, #15 a four-cylinder 500TR

I am no Ferrari specialist , but 71 is not a TR , Ferrari had a variety before the TR (2 or 3 litre) most over 3 litre , would explain DM/EM

I believe it is, 1959. I think it is Olivier Gendebien in 250 TR 59, 0770TR, which apparently DNF'ed with differential problems ("...I instruct my drivers to lean forward when they drive. If they don't do it, it's not my fault...it's a weakness of character!...")

Hill and Gendebien then teamed up with Gurney and Daigh in 0766TR to win.
