Period photos of old cars in pit/workshop

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).

Cheers

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?

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

Yes that's a climax engine.
