A drawback in handling the collected works of a great professional racing photographer like Geoff Goddard - as we do - is that he took photos to sell, not first and foremost for the record. Therefore, while he took plenty of nutsy-boltsy paddock shots of front-running cars, he took virtually none of midfielders or backmarkers. I'm interested in the Parnell team Lotus-BRM V8 cars that were run through 1964-67. Do any TNFers have paddock happy snaps of the Parnell cars they might be willing to share here?

Living in faint hope...

Somebody just posted a lovely photo of Innes Ireland in one of the Parnell team Lotus B.R.Ms from 1965, on Facebook.

It led me to realise that the livery of the team cars that year was exactly the same as used on the Bowmaker Coopers in 1961 and the Lolas in 1962.

Just an observation.
