Porsche 804

I photographed this car during the Friday practice day for the British Grand Prix at Aintree in July 1962.

This is Jo Bonnier in the paddock in his 1962 Flat-eight air cooled 1½ litre Porsche 804 just about to go out on track during a practice session. He qualified in seventh place on the grid but retired from the race on lap 27 with a broken differential. Jo Bonnier didn't manage a top three finish with the car in 1962, but his team mate Dan Gurney won the French Grand Prix and finished third in the German Grand Prix.

On 25 January 2016 and 18 October 2016 I showed other photographs I took of this car on that date.
