I wanted to post these scans at full resolution, which would enable one and all to get your own reproductions, but AA automatically down sizes pics on this forum. I do believe the few I have in my pic gallery are at full resolution however...so go for it!!
The third one aftre the JPS Lotus Cosworth, is Dan Gurney in a 1.5 litre 804 F1 flat-8 engined Porsche.An Auto Union C? What is the one below the Auto Union? Is it an Alfetta or another UK 'special'?
After the three pics of the Lola, there's a 158 bodied Ferrari which might still have a V6 in it, Surtees driving?
Next, not sure! A lotus 21?
Jim Clark in the FAMOUS Lotus 25.
Jackie Stewart in the BRM V8.
A Ferrari 156 at Monaco, likely 1961, likely Ginther or Hill, possibly trying to catch Moss in his Rob Walker Lotus 18 with a broken front anti-roll bar. Moss was a freak!
Tom's follow up is Jo Bonnier? in a Cooper V8.

You're good...that's John Surtees driving the Ferrari below the Lolas...with Richtie Ginther in a BRM below him....Surtees was the only fellow to win world championships in both F1 and Motorcycles.
You're right on the top Ferrari as well....with Jackie Ickx(sp?)driving.
The front engined car is a British HVM...i could have those initials mixed up...my memory..aarghh...but it was a small company who's owners were the drivers. They lasted about 8 years, until the expense of F1 finally shut them down.
Alot of the Markees bailed out of F1 for various reasons. I have a great shot of Jean Behra in his 57 Maserati....the last year that car maker was racing the circuit.....same with Porche...that pic of Gurney from 1962 was the last.
Gurney drove for others until he got his Eagles out there in 1967-69....then Gurney himself dropped out.

HWM was not down to their names, but Walton on Thames.
George Abecassis was one of the drivers.

That's it....the pic I have is with Lance Macklin driving! Damn memory....how could I forget HWM. I have another HWM photo with Duncan Hamilton driving. The guy looks stuffed into the car....either he was fat...or the car was very small.
The photo above is of Trevor Taylor driving the little known Lotus 24 in 1962. His driving partner Jimmy Clark got to drive the monocoque 25. Innes Ireland had just been sacked by Collin and Lotus needed a number two man quickly.
Wasn't it Phil Hill that made that famous remark to Collin on seeing the Lotus 25 for the first time?
Great talking to ya.

What's the flatnosed 3-litre that you have three pics of?

That was a roll-out photo shoot of an Indie four wheel Lola/Ford. The car raced at indie with two different engines. One was a Turbo. I'm sorry I don't remember the car's rather interesting story. I wrote to a few folks about it and a great guy from the UK who is involved with Lola history gave the complete history of the car. I have it all written down and attached to the back of the picture frame that holds all three pics.....but I don't have access to it at the moment. That's what I love about these photos. Every chasis is accounted for. If you know the race and the driver, you can get a complete history of most the cars. The Lola was the only car who's history was a bit murky, until help arrived!

Exciting for sure as there was always something new and innovative. But as Jackie Stewart knew all too well F1 at that time was super dangerous. I've read a few articles about how scared he was a times racing back then but he did it anyway. They were all very brave for sure, but of course they still are today.
Just looking at that and other pictures you have, if that car were to roll his head would be crushed.

Some with less crash safety than a motorcycle but awesome machines and pictures.
If you indeed took these, you're a professional, right?
nope....i've purchased them over the years. In 1961, is was a little kid!! I don't think I could of appreciated a NIKON 35mm camera with motor drive at the time.....but my dad and I followed F1 during the 60s....one of the few times we could relate to each other.
