We’ve all seen hundreds of period photo’s of old race/sports cars, but I particularly like ones where you can see the pit or workshop environment, as well as the mechanics or other personnel such as this one.

Anybody else got anything similar, of 7’s or other cars? Goodwood Revival doesn’t count (unless you sneak girls into the photo).

Lotus 23?

Sorry, should have made them black and white to make them look period

here you go, one I took in 1964, or 67?

None in the paddock but there are some great photos from the '60s at Harewood hillclimb here and one slightly newer (almost) with girls on half way down this page

Don't you just love those old style deeply dished wheels?

Looks like Clive Owen in the middle, Cliff Richard on the right

Lotus 7 (nearest) and 11 (behind) in the Tottenham Lane works ca 1958.

Is that a Coventry Climax engine in the 7 ?

Yes that's a climax engine.
