1962 Porsche 804

I photographed this car approaching Waterway corner at Aintree during practice for the British Grand Prix in July 1962.

It's Jo Bonnier in the 1962 Porsche 804 in which he qualified in 7th place on the grid, but retired after 27 laps of the race with gearbox problems. The Porsche 804 had a 1,494cc flat-8 engine and only competed in the 1962 season winning one race, the French Grand Prix, driven by Jo Bonnier's team mate Dan Gurney who qualified in 6th place on the grid at Aintree and finished the race in 9th place.

Friday's Ferrari

This is one of the cars I photographed in the car park at Old Trafford on the day Manchester United played Chelsea in April 2019.

It's a 2017 Ferrari 488 GTB with the 3,902cc twin turbocharged 32 valve F154 V8 engine which has two overhead camshafts per bank. Manufacture of the 488 started in 2015 and ended in February 2019. Its successor is an updated version of the 488, the Ferrari F8 Tributo.

On 26 April 2019 I showed photographs of the convertible version of this car, the Ferrari 488 GTS, which I had taken at the Manchester United football ground earlier that month.

Lamborghini Miura

I photographed this car at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1994.

It's a Lamborghini Miura and has a 3,929cc V12 transverse rear mid-engine. 764 of these cars were built between 1966 and 1973, but other than that I don't have any information about this particular car.

1966 Cooper BRM

This car competed in the HSCC Classic Racing Cars race at the HSCC's Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2004.

It's Paul Busby's 1966 Cooper T82 BRM, chassis #F2-2-66, originally built by Cooper as a Formula 2 car for Jo Bonnier Racing with a 996cc inline-4 BRM P80 F2 engine. It was driven by Jo Bonnier himself, and by Jo Siffert and Giancarlo Baghetti amongst others in European F2 races in 1966.

Here's Paul Busby at Foulstons chicane during the race followed by the 1963 Brabham BT6 of Ned Spieker, the 1969 Merlyn Mk11a of Mike Bromley and the 1969 Lotus 61 of Alan Hicks.

On 2 April 2015 I showed photographs of this car at Oulton Park in 2002.

Equipe GTS

This photograph was taken at McLean's Corner during the Equipe GTS race at the VSCC's meeting at Donington Park in June 2008.

Leading is the 1964 MGB of Colin Pearcy which has a 4-cylinder inline 1,840cc engine, and trying to get through on the inside is Neil Howe in his 1961 Triumph TR4 with a 4-cylinder inline 2,138cc engine. Following closely behind is the 1963 TVR Grantura Series III of Rob Begbie, and this car has a 4-cylinder inline 1,798cc engine.

Porsche 956

This car was in the paddock at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1993.

It's the 1982 Porsche 956 with a 2.65 litre turbocharged flat-6 engine that won the 1982 World Sportscar Championship. Jackie Ickx won four of the eight rounds of the championship, partnered by Derek Bell in two of the races and Jochen Mass in the other two. One of the races in which Derek Bell partnered Jackie Ickx was the Le Mans 24 Hour race where the three Rothmans Porsches finished in the first three positions.

Jaguars

I took this photograph in the paddock at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2003.

The car on the left is a 1950 Jaguar XK120, chassis 670128, which has the 3,442cc straight 6 engine, but I can't make out a race number on it and it doesn't appear to be listed in the programme of the event. On the right is the 1952 Jaguar C-Type replica of Nick Rossi, also with the 3,442cc engine, and is one of several cars created by Peter Jaye, this one being based on a Jaguar XK120. The C-Type took part in the BRDC Historic Sports Car Championship race at this Gold Cup meeting.
