British Racing Drivers Club....International Trophy at Silverstone
Winner Brian Alexander's type 47 driven by Vic Walker & the Hassler / Jackson entry
-
Very cool, Lou. I love the period shots.
-
Definitely 60s, that woman in the background with a headscarf on reminded me how popular that look was back then. I can remember my mum putting one on in the hall mirror whenever she went shopping.
Both shots underline just how different the 47 was from the standard car, those tyres must have been twice the width !
-
Thanks for posting these Lou!
what fantastic, atmospheric photographs!

Can't remember if I had posted this earlier...
Another period shot of a 47 at the petrol pump, love the go-go boots!
-
Great blast from the past, Lou! (I love the boots too!) :)
-
And a Ford Corsair??!!
-
Another helping of 47 please!
The Team Palma GT with driver Ernesto Neves and chassis # 15
This car was sold in 2018 through Bonhams auction for 112K...a bargain!

And a Ford Corsair??!!
I try not to double post but, I could not resist....this is for you Broadside!

Interesting video, Lou! I lost count, was that a four speed?!
The three in the back didn’t look all that comfortable!

Hmm, the picture with the Racing Team Vienna shows a LHD car. I wonder if it's a 47 or a 46 made to look like a 47. Is it GT/22?
Other than that, it is interesting to see the difference in the ducts.
-
This has come up before. I believe there was at least one LHD 47. Not my area of expertise* though.
* Something that I have noticed shrinking as the years go by. When I was young I knew everything. Now I'm not sure I know anything at all :-(

Haha, thank you, I had to chuckle at Jim doing a 'family saloon' road test but checking heel and toe position first.
For me the Corsair was the donor of the clubmans favorite Escort gearbox of the time, the 2000E bullet box

That Hewland FT is worth more than the average daily driver car now!

This 47 owned at the time by Bob Beasley here in Oz.

I've been going through the French Europa thread (500+ pages) and gleaned a few more 47 photos:

Yes, that huge french Europa thread is a treasure grove. I love those period 47 shots.
I came accross another 47 picture that has been taken on the 'Salon de Bruxelles' in early 1967. Spied on the same forum but in a different thread:
-
Thanks JB for the great 47 pics. Yes there was at least one LHD 47. There are several photos starting on page 51 of Ray Psulkowski's Europa book. He claims only one though.
-
Ray Psulkowski's Europa book.
thats a book I hadnt heard of, ordered a copy now.
What DB4 do you have
-
That's a great pic of the Le Mans start.
And that blue one . . very pretty colour.
-
Ray Psulkowski's Europa book.
thats a book I hadnt heard of, ordered a copy now.
What DB4 do you have
In my younger days I raced a Swift DB4 Formula Atlantic. The DB is David Bruns, not David Brown of Aston Martin fame.
-
should have bought the one I was offered years ago

Thanks for the great pictures, JB!
It looks like that T70 coupe is going to swallow up that 47!
-
What did the lower mounted front turn signals on many of those pictured come off of?
-
Ford Escort MkI ?
-
My Shin Yoshikawa print (35/100) of the Lotus 47 GT
-
I think the front park/signal units were from Renault.
