Cool photo. I read a book a few years ago, I think it was simply titled 'Cosworth', that gave a good account of both Keith Duckworth and the designing & development of the DFV. A very interesting and brilliant fellow.

Dear Santa...

It's only $2500, and will fit on your sleigh!

I never get tired of admiring the beauty of the 49...

Looks like the boys are setting up the rear roll bar, before Graham has a flyer.

Agreed! All of the elements seemed to come together for a brief period; Wide tires had arrived but wings and corporate sponsorship had yet to. The lean simple lines of the 49 Fuselage and the compact & tidy, no nonsense' design of the DFV. To my pro-analog mind, it is as close to perfect as it aver got.

Another couple of Zandvoort shots from the archives...

These were no doubt taken in the same vicinity of the paddock entrance to the pit lane.

The wrecker appears to be a leftover military vehicle (Dodge) or Jeep...

The new benchmark...

Everyone was curious and wanted a closer look. Jackie Stewart, Chris Irwin, Mike Spence and Tony Rudd from Team BRM have a chance to discuss the 49 first hand.

An interesting sidebar was that Chris Irwin who finished 7Th, was in the Lotus 25 BRM, and the last time this chassis was raced. The same R4 which carried Jim Clark to the championship in 1963.

That's quite a striking collage. I sure would have loved to have met him. R.I.P. Jimmy.
