Continuing to go through my late Fathers bits and bobs and I found these, Looks like Goodwood. I would say it would be around 1960/61 (the TR is a 59 I think) Anyone shed any light (I have every confidence!)

A bit of googling shows that the Ferrari RU8 was used as a promotional vehicle by Colonel Ronnie Hoare in around the right period.

That's not Peter Berthon driving is it?

Is that Col RH behind the wheel? surely too much hair for Berthon?

Darn it, that takes me right out of the conversation.

Never mind the quality, feel the atmosphere!. Great and thank you for posting.

What Eric said!

Thanks
Unfortunately they are only about 50mm x 50mm so getting the quality is hard, I really like the Number 14 (Collins according to the back of the photo) one with, I believe, Alf Francis leaning into the cockpit. Is that Moss' Maserati with the Dunlop wheels? 1954?

I think the Maserati 250F#14 is the car run by BRM as an interim while the T25 was being designed and built. Tony Rudd is in shirtsleeves bending over talking to Peter Collins and Willy Southcott is in overalls beyond Tony Rudd.

The second picture looks like Roy Salvadori to me. I guess we don't know the venue for these fascinating shots?

Well spotted Tim. I was a little baffled by the snap of Peter in the Owen Maser'. I'd forgotten the Castle Combe meeting.

Surely that's Ron Flockhart in the BRM in the second to last picture? Or do my eyes deceive me?
Posted 16 March 2018 - 05:01
Happy to help or offer repro tips if you're interested.Thanks

Tim's correct, Castle Combe, 1st October 1955.
Richardson's RRA and Flockhart's BRM were in the Libre race. The second pic (& the blur!) will be Salvadori in Sid Greene's Maserati.
This photo is the Formula 2 race at Whitchurch in 1st August 1959. Ian Raby is in the sports-bodied Cooper, no.25
