I believe I saw once a photo of Jim Clark driving Ian Scott-Watson's Porsche 1600. I assume it was on TNF, but I'm unable to remember in which thread (a pictures quiz ?) and cannot find it after hours of searching with the 'Search BB' button. I'm becoming silly with that.
This photo shows the car from 3/4 rear in a 'pastoral' atmosphere (rally or hillclimb ?).
Could anyone help and tell me where to search for ?
Thanks in advance,
Philippe

I saw the Clark Porsche 356 at Spa in 2002. It was entered for the Spa 6H "Gentleman Drivers" race (Moyes-Richardson) but unfortunately spun off and hit the guardrails on top of the Eau Rouge (of all places) during Saturday morning practice. The car was badly damaged and we didn't see it again. Clark also drove the car at Spa in what was his first race on the continent.
Anyone knows where the car is now?

I suppose you mean this one:
"His first big win came on October 5, 1957 in a friend's Porsche 1600 Super (Jim later bought it), taking the Border Motor Racing Club Trophy at Charterhall"

Its in Tom Peads garage or Mike Smiths place.They own it and have undertaken the restoration and hide it away in Essex. Adam Richardson is an excellent 356 driver who shares with Geoff Moyes.Probably Geoff driving when it went cross country!

Thanks both David and Manuel. This is this photo I was thinking about. Ever seen on TNF or am I confusing with another Porsche 356 (Denis Jenkinson's one for instance) ?
