Off topic Kees but...... Delft. We used to get a LOT of night vision kit from Delft called Oude-de-Delft. Good quality stuff.

What do you mean off topic these pictures are very period oké

By the wording '...off topic', I mean that what I was going to say is not really relevant. Just remotely interesting - connecting the photograph of Delft with a product of Delft.

It's always good to see pics of Works Minis....

The Sprite and AA Minivan picture looks like it was taken (or posed for) at the old A34 road to Winchester to the south of Newbury just prior to Newtown. The road the goes off to the right, look beyond the bridge, goes off towards the old USAF camp and Basingstoke. I seem to remember being told that the USAF resurrected the old ford during the war as the bridge couldn't take the heavy equipment. I could be wrong of course

As a matter of interest, is that Jerry Lewis with a super, from the two vertical bar grille?

PS It might be my eyes playing tricks, but the reg on the willow green van in the first picture could be the same as the van used for testing the Can-Am wing

The "Vatican" of motor racing!

So much more relateable than the super villain layer that they occupy now.



"Mclaren" the film was on ITV4 last night, a thoroughly good watch.

That's what inspired me to search for the images. It's an excellent docu-film done in the same way as the Senna one from a few years ago. Some of the home movie footage was excellent to see.

I found it by accident, wish I'd seen it from the start. Excellent documentary, Bruce must have been held in bloody high regard by his peers.

Found this via pinterest yesterday - Ringo and a pal being dropped off at Abbey Road c.1968... the colour toning is a bit off but it looks like a monotone white Mk2 Cooper, I'm sure there's another shot of Ringo in this car somewhere, c.1969 / 70...

Surely that's the Bluecoat Chambers in Liverpool, the Mini nearest the camera appears to have a Liverpool Registration ending in LV.
