Going through old boxes of random photographs this afternoon and came up with these, which I believe were 1964, and I think, Goodwood; a meeting which I entered in the boot of Bob Sparshott's cousin's MG Magnette - I was, as usual, destitute:



Aston Martin Zagato - I'm sure someone will supply the driver's name.



Jim Clark - Lotus 33



BRP Lotus 24 - I'm sure someone will supply the driver's name. Is that a Scirocco in the background near the Facel Vega?



A Brabham - I always associate that nose strip with Ian Raby.



A colour-rough I did for Mark Konig's projected Nomad FF in about '71/72.

...which does of course belong to Rob Walker.

The Aston , Crabbe ?

The others fit in with News of The Week Trophy GOODWOOD 30/3 1964 11 Should be Irelands BRP1 , 21 Raby BT3 and the Revson Lotus 24 BRM.

Lovely pics.

Mike Salmon's Aston Project 214 for the Sussex Trophy at that 'News of the World' Trophy Easter Monday meeting. Nothing so modest as the 'News of the Week'. Always famous in period for its contemporarily salacious content as 'News of the Screws'...

The Facel Vega is Rob Walker's, while the bespectacled figure glancing at the tail of the BRM Lotus 24 is dear old Cyril Posthumus, Philip Turner's longtime colleague on 'The Motor' magazine.

The results for the Sussex Trophy on the WSRP site show that Salmon finished fourth:

Clark drove Lotus 25 chassis R6 in the main race.

The Aston is one of the DP 214s before Crabbe's ownership. It's probably '0194' which still exists with the original reg '5 NBP'. '0195' was wrecked and cut up after Hetreeds fatal accident at the Nurburgring 1000ks

According to the race programme car No.67 is in fact the Brian Hetreed car. Interestingly, it's down as a DB4 GT, just as posted by the OP. Homologation was a different animal back then.

Sorry, just noticed the OP was "Zagato" - my homologation comment still stands(!)

The DP214 Astons were normally referred to in period as DB4GTs, presumably to preserve the myth that it was nothing more than a rebodied DB4GT chassis and therefore a properly homologated GT car.

I had been under the impression that both Hetreed and Salmon raced at Goodwood and Silverstone later on. Clearly Hetreed's car was there but going by Martin's website never raced. He says the car raced at Silverstone but doesn't mention the driver.

The Silverstone Int. Trophy meeting was of course the scene of Mike Salmon's great drive from the back of the field, having spun off on the first lap, to almost catch Graham Hill's winning GTO.
