Does anyone know what happened to the ferret photography collection, he always used to be at race retro, it was a real treat being able to flick through the drawers of the various marques.
I’m researching Elva Couriers from 1958-1965 or there abouts in the production sports championships around at the time. I have searched the revs institute which has come up trumps in it’s George Phillips collection. Beulieu also came up trumps with the Charles Dunn collection. I’ve tried motorsport images & Getty which haven’t got anything. Are there other rescources that may help?

There's my archive at www.superchargedcollection.com but we don't have any Elva Courier images I don't think.

Ted’s Archive was sold three years ago to an enthusiast and collector in France.
It is not currently accessible.

Perfect, I have come across them previously with their series they run. I will email and enquire & see if I get a response from them.
Did Ted gather images from all over the world over many many years? It’s such a shame they aren’t currently accessible as he had a lot of Elva images.
Thank you Gary I will have a look at your library

On another note, who holds the archives for the images featured in autosport magazine from the period as I have found a couple of images that I would like to get copies of it that’s possible.

Re 'Autosport' photography - the vast majority is held by LAT/Motorsport Images (as they have become) - but the majority of George Phillips's photography for the magazine through the 1950s into the ''60s is available from the Revs Digital Library with their magnificent viewing facility on line.
See:
https://library.revs...te.org/digital/
And take it from there...
