Brilliant, thank you.

It's particularly interesting to watch with this page open to identify the cars.

Shame that the Elva #48, featured so much early on, did not start. I wonder why?

Because it had an accident in practice (according to the link you gave us :) )

What I don't get is why it had "South Africa" painted so prominently on it

Looking at M.R.J. Wyllie biographical info on www.racingsportscars.com, it mentions he was born in South Africa, which must explain the lettering on the car. (http://www.racingspo...-biography.html).

I liked the hoods that they had to produce for scrutineering - I'd forgotten about that regulation.
