June 1970. Different pic from last time, but still Bill Viney, who used to tow this Healey with his other one! Hence the number plate.
1971 Prescott - a real Cobra.
At the May 1977 Donington reopening. Rod Leach's Cobra and XK.
July 1980 Donington - again
I don't think I have uploaded this one before. Apologies if I have. Elva.
Ellerslie 1983 - my first.
Whenuapai 1985. Scorpion?
Goodwood FoS 2002.
2016
2018. Bourne town centre. A pic of Raymond Mays and the ERA. It might be some form of Heritage centre but as it was closed on the Sunday and raining, with no parking nearby, I didn't get a chance to go inside.
2018. The Haynes museum at Sparkford's Red Room - again. Due to the layout, not easy to get any variation in views of the cars for photographic purposes, but as my aim is building a library of pics rather than trying to create photographic art, I'm OK with that.

Still mixing it as I continue with a more comprehensive detailing of the slides, which usually means stripping them and noting the film ID number (if any) and the sequence number. With previously mounted slides, in glass, they also need stripping and the glasses cleaning. Not a quick job.
Could be Western Springs or Ellerslie!

1991
Ray,
Wonderful photo of those three magnificent Jaguar E-Types
plus in the background are some favorite types of cars that I have owned such as the Minis and a BMW 2002 / 1600 ?
Thanks for the memories,
Ken
Some of the extremes...
Spotted on the streets of Nottingham, 1970 or maybe a bit later based on the number-plate.
Who could ever forget the British Super Saloons of the 1970's and especially Gerry Marshall in 'Baby Bertha'.
Probably not quite as well known as a competition car... Some form of oval racing that was not of the biff and bash variety. Displayed at the British F1 GP of 1977.

1967 Shelsey Walsh
1988 Western Springs
1989 Ardmore
1991 Ellerslie
Working hard on the slides that are mounted in card, plastic or glass - or even unmounted but should be! The glass ones have been dismantled and the glasses polished. I'm still struggling to date some of them.
1991 Ellerslie again. Arch Mini Club supporter polishing his Cooper S.
Masters class winner I believe

1970 Mallory Park
Hiccups uploading again... Couldn't even access the site.
Ash Cleave's Morris Special at Prescott 1971
Cadwell Park - a track that holds special memories for me, including my first ever sprint event (last in class). Next time, two years later, blitzed the class with the same car.
Then again in 1977, was comfortably leading the class in the Jubilee Hillclimb, 998cc Cooper engined Mini, until a friendly RAC Steward tipped me the nod, to say that if I won, the other regulars in that class, somewhat peeved at being beaten, would protest, because I hadn't got a front bumper on the Mini.
I borrowed one from a spectator before the final run and again, blitzed the class for the most satisfying of all class wins.
1983 Car show at Henderson
I THINK this might be February 1st 1987. Happy for it to be confirmed.

Ian Richardson's Chevy Corvair 1975.
1985 - I think, October 27th.
1991
2019 March
September 1986 - I think
Taken at Ardmore 1989, but I have no idea what the car is - or the engine for that matter! Can anyone please help?
March 2019 - and this Mini sounds so sweet.

Still diving into the old slides.
The late Roger Williamson came to prominence driving this well turned out Ford Anglia. April 1970. Say it quickly and you can easily forget it was almost 50 years ago...
Another taken before his time was Tony Brise, seen here doing a demo at Mallory Park, August 1975, just 3 months before losing his life in the Graham Hill plane crash.
I may have posted this before but I still have no idea of the make of car. Snapped at a Silverstone test session early 1977. If anyone knows what it is, PLEASE let me know!
NSCC Cadwell again, June 1980
I think, September 1986.

Whenuapai 1987. Little did I know that 4 years later, I'd own one of them...
Yes, a green Alfa. Ex Dennis Poore
Ardmore 1989 - but can someone please ID either the car or the engine?
1990
1991 - I think - but judging by the above pic, might even be 1990.
ERC,
your unkown car in 2822 above, is it a Sana F atlantic testing at silverstone
Thanks 928. I don't know how you managed to ID that, given that they only made a couple - and I must confess, I'd never heard of them.
I'm intrigued to know how you knew! I'm assuming it ran in the Shellsport Series, which included F1, F2, Atlantic etc. and also explains the presence of the Brabham BT44 which also ran in that series now and again and was at the same test session, along with the Dolomite Sprint and the de Cadanet Lola.
Given the lack of signage or numbers, probably only just completed.
Thanks. All I need to do now is pin down the date and work out why I was there. It might have been between finishing my training course and starting work in my current career, so I am guessing March 25th, two days before the Sana was at Snetterton, but it could even have been earlier.
Thanks so much 928. That has been an enjoyable, but very time consuming and educational trawl through several websites - something that a certain critic wouldn't really understand.

I am fighting the flu and waking at weird hours !
A little Sana info;
The Sana in Formula Atlantic specification.
The first Sana was a F Atlantic chassis that appeared in the Spring of 1976, it was designed by Gordon Fowell, designer of one of the 1973 Chris Amon-driven F1 Tecnos and like the Tecno it was built by John Thompson The new car was driven by Cyd Williams and it showed some promise with a 2nd place finish first time out. As a result of this success a F3 version was constructed, the F Atlantic versions continued to do well reasonably driven by Cyd Williams, Terry Perkins and Nick May. It was later raced in Libre races in the North of England as the Barton JTB3.
The F3 version of the F Atlantic car appeared only once, driven by Larry Perkins at the Monaco GP support race, it qualified on the last row of the grid and was retired by Perkins due apparently to its evil handling. Evidently Fowell had decided that his suspension design was correct and therefore didn't fit any roll bar adjustment. The F3 design was the same as the F Atlantic car with its full width nose and pronounced wedge shape provided by the monocoque and bodywork. Power came from a Brown-Ford engine that wasn't reckoned to be the most powerful around.
