Very interesting picture that, because all three Ferraris shown finished the race. The yellow GT was 4th overall, the California Spyder 5th, and the White GT in the background was 6th driven by Fayen and Munaron.

Le Mans 1959

Hi Cub
Super photos, have you any of the Triumph team that ran 3 x TR3S 2 ltr twin cam engined cars numbers 25, 26 and 27. They were similar to the road going TR3A's but had expermintal engines, fiberglass bodies and were 6 inches longer. Unfortunatley they all failed to finish and were scrapped by Triumph on return to the UK. I am in the early stages of building a replicia and am eager to get it as close to the "real thing" as possible so any shots would be very much apriciated.

Phil.

Hello Phil. I do recall the Triumphs (Sanderson/Stoop, Bolton/Rothschild, Jopp/Stoop?). I may have a shot of them but I'm note sure. My son, Cob, is in the process of sorting through my very large collection. If we have one we will post it on this site.

I just have to say a big thankyou for posting these amazing images.

I'm not into Historic racing, but I do get a sense of awe looking at the pictures. The sense of atmosphere around the events and sights they have captured is brilliant.

Thank you again to both Navyflier for making them available and Cub for posting them.

Wow, just WOW!

I love the Lotus. I love the shots of the Aston team in preparation in the courtyard, and the cockpit shot is fascinating.

Hi Cob,
Super photos , I cant belive my eyes.
Behind the lotus is a Triumph TR3S I think its No 26 XHP 940 driven by Peter Bolton and Mike Rotschild, it did not last long- the cooling fan broke up and holed the radiator on lap 35.

This was the Saab of Nottorp/Bengston at Le Mans 1959.



No. 43 was the Saab of Sid Hurrell/Roy North at Le Mans 1959. No.51 was the Osca of the Rodrigeuz Brothers, Ricardo and Pedro and No.52 is the Osca of Laroche/Testut.



The Hurrell/North Saab at Le Mans 1959. They found that their fuel tank was not big enough so they took the tank out of their A40 Austin and fitted that. However, the filler was on the wrong side so the punched a hole in the Saab body work at accommodate it.

An interesting example of the limitations of colour film. The Tojeiro and D-Type being ecurie ecosse entries werre dark blue while the Listers being factory entries would have been dark green. But they all appear to be thesame colour!
