PICTURES TAKEN EARLY 1970s MALLORY PARK. WHO/WHAT ARE THEY.
Still finding things in the loft from years ago. Anyone recognise any of these photographs? Taken at Mallory Park by myself.
The guy in the denigm suit with all the hair looking at the STP car is Richard Long I remember that. What the other two cars are.......I havn't a clue. ps I know that's not the right way to spell the fabric Richards clothes are made of, but never mind eh. |

The first car is a Triumph TRX, one of two prototypes of a proposed replacement for the early post-war Triumph Roadster. Fortunately they decided not to put it into production & built the TR2 instead.

The red single seater is Mike Wilds' March 733 which would date the picture to 22 July 1973 at the earliest as the car only debuted a week before at the British GP F3 support race.

The bottom car is the Jaguar XJ13 assuming it's the original one. Norman Dewis crashed it at MIRA in 1971 although it was rebuilt later using the original jigs.
