Great Jochen Rindt pictures,thanks

Team mates Jochen Rindt and Graham Hill. Rindt was brought in as the eventual replacement for Jim Clark at Team Lotus, who'd perished back in April 1968. Rindt himself would lose his life in practice for the Italian GP in 1970. When Chris Amon is asked if he felt unlucky to have never won a Formula 1 race, when coming so close on so many occasions, he rightly points out that he was in fact one of the lucky ones, to have survived such a deadly era.

I was at this race meeting. I recall seeing Rindt's car in a workshop front window as was a few of the other GP cars in Invercargill. I was working at Bluff for 6 months at the time...was so enthralled by their high wings of that era. Was such a priviledge to actually see these things in real flesh. Oh and that Mk 1 Consul was actually quite away back from the track on a little "side road" access point. Photo has created an optical illusion a bit I think......great pictures thanks. Kind regards, Tony Rutherford.
