Blast from the Past - Old Photos
These pictures were taken by me over an eleven year span
from Goodwood in 1958 when I was aged 15,
through to 1969 at Brands Hatch, taking in Monaco, Silverstone and Monza on
the way AND including
one famous fake! Identification given with each picture. Most
are scanned from early colour slide
film which had a high contrast and the slides have suffered with age so the
quality's not too brilliant.

Goodwood, Easter 1965
was the last meeting at which full works Grand Prix cars appeared
at the circuit. The end of an era.

Monaco GP, May 1967
I was fortunate indeed to be able to go to the Monaco Grand Prix
every year from 1964 to 1968,
and here I’ve posted some of the photographs I took in 1967. Note the
access to the circuit and
to the drivers, I’m sure this is not available today to the paying public!
The cars used to assemble
down a side street before the practices having been driven through the streets
of the town. On the
run up the hill from Ste Devote you could lean over the fence and almost touch
the cars as they
passed. The noise was splendidly deafening.
I still have an audio tape of parts of the 1968 race, now converted to mp3
format with a longer
recording added, which you can download here
