Some great pictures of cars people memorabilia et al so thanks Bob. (and Peter.... wonderful pic of a much adored Alfa Giulia GTA in post #527).

I note in post #523 that, as well as a gentleman jumping naked into a icy lake, there is also a photo of a Le Mans 1955 ticket.... I also am aware that our very own Bauble, then a tender aged and untravelled 17 year old, was at that fateful meeting that year. For those that might not have seen it there is a very good article about '"Our Bob's" trip to Le Mans that year, complete with photos and an account of Bobs memories.
You can read it here: https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cul...-le-mans-1955/

I will add that although Bob's photo appears in the article there are other even more unpleasant images regarding that weekends tragic events, so fair warning. None the less, a good article well worth reading if you have not already done so.

Great photos, as always in this thread, especially pleased to
see the saloons in post #526. Have seen most of them on
track in the past, shame they are not a regular sight at
HRDC or HSCC nowadays.

It's 2014, and here I am at the Saturday of the Classic. Weather is fine and sunny;

Not my cup of tea, but;

[bauble]

A bit more like it;

[E.B]

I think the last pic in post #538 is a Cooper Jag. Always thought it an odd looker, but certainly its quirky. I quite enjoyed those not Bobs 'Cup of Tea'... I think F3 from the seventies although a couple of later ones there. Used to enjoy watching F3 back in the day.... Ta

I think that the Cooper is the first Jag engine car, made for Peter Whitehead, if memory serves, I remember seeing it in the Goodwood Nine Hour race in 1955 driven by Tony Marsh and Lord (Waller?)

I would have been in nappies and gurgling a lot then, so I take your word for it.
You probably cycled to the meeting as well!!

Certainly did, cycled half way home and caught a train to London, and rode to Barnet.
As delta would say, Happy days!

But a question about your post 492 , 4th picture .The green Aston .
Do you remember what event / where that picture was from .
The registration is not from that car , and an original car would be probably much to expensive to race .
The last original ,[ that I know of ], sold for £17.5 million at auction , so that might well be one of the replica cars that I helped to build with these people.

As you were involved with ASM, you may like to know that at least one of the replicas is in road use - this was at the VSCC meeting at Mallory Park today and is shown on the DVLA as an ASM
