Circa 1932 Isle of Mann Tourist Trophy race?....

 

Could be but always thought that it was somewhere in Italy / France. Nice to have a picnic at the races!

 

Yeah I don’t think that’s IoM. Could be wrong, of course!

 

Looks like Italy from the non-plus look of the spectators and the well thought out barriers

 

Here is the OG untouched photo.

Fantastic article, thanks for posting

 

What?

You senile old bugger

 

One of the greats .

 

Just finished reading a biography of Colin Campbell and was reminded of how many brilliant enfpgineers and drivers the 60s produced; reinforced by seeing the BT7 at the Gold Coast Motor Museum last week - just love those cars!

 

BT7 like Formula one ?

Check again two were built one in the UK the other lost in States in the 70s.

Perhaps a BT7a IC?

Whom is Colin Campbell? Not Colin Chapman ? LOL read the book and can't even remember who its about ..

 

Rob is questioning if you meant Colin Chapman..

 

Lady Colin Campbell?

 

Of Lotus49 fame? asking for fellow enthusiast.

Racing royalty right there.

 

Winner of the golden crown?

 

Doh! yes of course I should have written Chapman... the ‘names’ part of my brain just doesn’t work and yet when I say Colin Campbell I immediately think of Bluebird - go figure.

 

Are you blonde ?
