Classic Races - Photos
 

This is a topic for you to put photos of races that were held until 1980. Let's say... classic photos. :D

I also would like to ask you to identify the location and the year of the race, if possible, to make this archive as valuable as possible.

I'll start! :D

At such a low-res?... Dude you need to save money for a monitor and stop thinking of purchasing the Alpine... :P :P :roflmao:

And yeap thats an Escort! :good:

Tnx for the pics m8!

It's not an Escort, and it's not a BUS !!! :D eheheh

It's an Opel ASCONA/1904SR, and the "BUS" is a Trolley.
A Trolley it's like a BUS, with rubber tires, but it has an electric engine, and some cables above to give him the power.

^^^^^^

Yeap ur right, thats an Ascona man.. :oops:

As for the trolley, we also have trolleys in Hellas(in Athens and in Salonica).. Actually weve been having them since 1950's I believe...

Now.. some sorted photos from which I don't have much information, but they really diserve to be here. Some have the year or the driver in the name of the file. Some nice cars!!

wow, some amazing pictures in there :D i also love the troley one, and basically all of them 8) looking at these pictures, it really seems like the good old time :P at least there werent such huge fences between the public and the cars back then...

Security makes us loose some of the fun... :D

The cars itself are getting heavier because of the security devices.

Thanks for your photos, D_Type, some really good ones over there!!

Like specially the pictures of the departure at Spa24hrs '73, and the CSL up up and away!! :D

What a great post!
I have no photos of old races myself, but will try and get some from a friend.
I love those batmobile BMWs. Spectacular.

That Nurburgring '73 Capri is a Perana isn't it? If it is I think a guy here in South Africa - Peter Lindenberg - has the only original left in the world. Not certain though.
