Probably a strange topic title - sorry..

I am looking for copies or scans of some pages from Autosport :

8.9.61 P. 327
29.9.61 P. 427
13.10.61 P. 516
8.6.62 P. 829
2.8.63 P. 155

If anybody has those issues at hand and a scanner I would highly appreciate any copy.
The reports on those pages should all have something about Formula Junior.
I am looking for a particular car and this is supposedly mentioned there.

Thank you all in advance for any help.

Ralf

I should able to help on 4 of the 5 issue pages you're looking for scans of - haven't got Oct 13, 1961.

The October 13, 1961 page you are after has a report on the BARC NW Centre Autumn Sprint at Aintree. It includes a photo of F. W. Dodgson in the Lotus 20 in which he set best time of the day.

Milan - thank you.
Does the report mention Reg Armstrong/Lotus 20 ? He is the one I am looking for.

He is the one I am looking for : Reg Armstrong

Of course better known for his Motorcycle connection - but with limited success tried car racing, too.

Ralf,

Message received, will do scans soon.

You might be better just sticking to one thread for all the Reg Armstrong Lotus 20 articles you're looking for.

Strange - I have got the reference to these magazine articles while looking through the HTP papers of the ex-Armstrong Lotus 20.
Thank youfor looking it up.

Ralf,

This is absolutely not strange at least not for me. I am looking for an Autosport issue of 1966. I am building a replica of Ed Diamonds Trans Am Mustang #5. It was on the cover of the magazine and I hope for other photos in the magazine.

I hope someone will read this who owns this issue.

Cheers,
Tim
