I have a lot of these from 70's Autosports and they were a great feature of Autosport at the time. Remember all the photos and print were B/W at the time ( the print was very small!!). Some of them were brilliant and very evocative. I realise these are all someone's copywrited photos, but would it be possible to post a few scans to let people know what they missed? Anyone know when they started and when they finished? I guess they finished in the late 70's when Autosport changed it's layout? Cheers Ian

You've answered your own question. They're copyright, so you can't publish them here or anywhere else without Autosport's permission

Yep and it's unlikely that Autosport owns the copyright. It would belong to the photographer.

Depends whether or not he was a staff photographer and, if not, whether he offered the pic to them, or they commissioned him for a specific meeting

Just make sure your mum hasn't taken out image rights on the loft!

I wonder if that could be termed as a "smartass" answer ?
