Picture books

[D-Type]

I know this is a long shot.

Recently I came across this site: www.tomorrowscollectibles.co.uk which is selling reproductions of 5 pictures from about 1950. They show
Bira in a 4.5 litre OSCA
Johnny Claes in a yellow Talbot Lago
Alfas at Monaco
4 CLT Maseratis
Ferrari pit stop.

I thought the pictures looked familiar. Then I remembered they had been in a board book I had been given as a kiddy. To my surprise I find I can recall almost all the pictures.

The front cover showed the BRM, and other pictures included
A GP Ferrari
An ERA
A Jaguar C-Type
John Cobb's Railton Mobile Special land speed record holder
Goldie Gardner's MG record breaker
A Healey saloon making a pit stop at Spa
The Appleyards in NUB 120 in the Alps
Sydney Allard's Steyr-Allard hillclimb car

That makes 14 pictures. Books are always in multiples of 8 so thetre must have been 16 pictures. So what there are 2 outstanding.

It's so frustrating - I can't remember and no guesses ring a bell.

If anybody knows I'd be grateful if they can tell me.

I vaguely remember the book and a Porsche 356 springs to mind...but I'm not sure...
