Ken - the numbering of all my images is: year (175 = 1975) Month (08) day (24) and either a sequence, film number or car number.
So Tony Brise was demonstrating the Embassy/Hill 24th August 1975. Mallory Park.
Not sure which car it was. Was it the latest Hill (GH) or an earlier one? I'd be surprised if they thought it was worthwhile firing up the latest F1 car for three demo laps.
Thanks Ray,
That is a sad memory of a wonderful driver and the Theodore Team who let me hang around as a "Gofer" for two race meets with Tony.
At Riverside. Oct. 26 1975.
Rather ironic that you saw Tony on August 24th, I was a Long Beach Sept. 26 - 28th and again at Riverside on October 26th and then he died on Nov. 29th 1975. (One month apart on each occasion)
I have a signed book by David Tremayne of what truly was a "Lost Generation" of wonderful British drivers who died in tragic circumstances way too young.

Roger Williamson was a local and under 'Tom' Wheatcroft's wing. He was devastated when he died.
