    A real mix this set... Apologies if I have ever repeated a post, as they have often been picked at random. Scanning odd bits and pieces of film at random has been more rewarding than trying to totally plod through in sequence.

    Currently having a sort out of the filing archive structure and a word of warning to all amateurs. Make sure you have back ups - that work! I have been somewhat distressed to find that some archived CDs/DVDs don't seem to read now and having had one external 500Gb hard drive fail after spending 40 hours collating and copying stuff, I don't really trust some back up methods. It may be getting close to the time to pay for a full upload/storage of all picture files on DropBox or similar.


    May 1977. The reopening of Donington Park, with Willie Green demonstrating the Delage.

    I think this is the Johnson FF. Can anyone confirm country of origin? If I'm not sure, it gets filed as British!

    I drove one of these at Zandvoort. Rattled my teeth a bit and brought me out in a sweat - even though it was only on that brilliant simulator that was at Rally NZ at Mystery Creek.

    As it is Christmas, any requests from my archive, by make, model, date or even location - though I am not saying I can oblige! We are not going away, so I'll still be pottering around on and off the computer.

    Currently the logged digital list is as follows without the Magnette and Marcos and other personal car pics:

    British road cars including sports racing 10,713pics
    Non-British road/sports 4,390

    British race cars 3,873
    Non British race 944

    Various groups, shows, sundry 1,381

    As yet undated and/or to be correctly filed 1,126 - a major delay on some as I can't even confirm the year.


    Still to scan - quite a large pile of negatives and an even bigger pile of colour slides

    A few random pics, most with incomplete information, preventing the final filing.


    The staff car park at Ashford Remand Centre -probably during my first year as a Prison Officer. The owner of the Jaguar is a good friend to this day and was recently Mayor of the small Norfolk town of Downham Market. He moved on from the Prison Service and eventually became a class 1 police driver. His daughter is staff sergeant to the Assistant Chief Constable!

    This one can be filed... Brands Hatch. Probably fuzzy due to the scanner playing up - again.

    Thanks for that. One down, about 150 queries to go - so far... Dating 1 often confirms a whole roll of film, so any assistance is a great help.

    Still a total mix...


    As above - same meeting. Specific date required. Early 1985?

    Possibly 1986? Actual date required. was this the Le Mans Relay meeting? Judging by the Bucklers and the Sunbeams, it could well be, as traditionally, we never saw that many Sunbeams out at one time.

    My all time favourite British GT - but one of the few cars that would look better with the original wheels. I need to scan this again as it is a tiny pic.

    Looking forward to taking more photographs in 2016 and making progress on scanning the old ones, where dating them is the biggest challenge.

    Starting the New Year off with a mixed bag of sports cars over the years, some of them not well known.

    Could that be Richard Buckingham [from Seattle] in the Lancia Aurelia ?

    I got the date wrong. It was 1980 - but no programme...

    Lancia is probably Stuart Gross.

    Some of the Lotuses from 1 race at the F2 Donington meeting in 1982. Scanned from prints - it was quicker. I might have to have a go at redoing the colours.

    Too damp and cool to be fibreglassing at the moment.

    Racing, handicapping and tiredness conspired to limit the number of pics taken at weekend 1 of the 2016 Porsche Festival.

    Ray, I was at the 1983 Donington F2 meeting and well recall one of the best motor races I have ever seen - those re-bodied F2/F5000 cars put on a fantastic show and while there Esprits and Skodas etc., the two cars at the front that created this great spectacle were Jeff Wilson and Andy Barton - a couple of northern lads who were obviously mates but just went for it on the track.

    I don't recall any fender rubbing or damage - just good old fashioned close motor racing. Wilson was in the ex David Purley Chevron B30-Ford GAA V6 that had a BMW M1 body draped over it, while the rear engine body Barton had selected was an AC M3000 - or similar, over what I think was an F2 March.

    These were weird things but they sure provided a great car race.

    It was indeed a very popular category Michael and you are 100% right. I think there was far less damage or even fender bending than we seem to take for granted here, particularly in the modern categories. Come to think of it, out of the 1,000's of pics I have taken over the years, I have none of damaged cars from that era other than self inflicted.

    The whole UK Modsports and Super Saloon categories created very interesting cars and these days, we seem to be so stuck into parity and tight rules, that we have lost out on what made our sport a real spectacle - and one of the reasons that our Historic Saloons class has the potential to be a real crowd pleaser.

    Last batch from weekend 1 - as you can probably tell, I didn't really have too much of an opportunity to take pictures!
