Fabulous pictures James. Does anybody know the colour of that car? Looks light in colour but remember that early black and white film was very insensitive to red light (hence dark room lighting) and the car could be red (or orange even?). Any details known?
Furthermore, the full sideways view shows the body profile as it is cut out to clear the rear axle and spring. This is I think the only view of a genuine car that shows it. The 'doc Bennett' car in Bill Williams' book (the remaining genuine factory supersports which is often used for reference) had a bodywork mod above the rear axle which has been copied on all subsequent replicas.
Great to see these..
