Wow! these are not only interesting pics of the Porsche transporter, but I do not recall ever seeing a 944 GTR with such a big rear wing and endplates either.

Thanks for sharing :-)

Winter testing at Ricard , Spark have produced the model , testing version .

My first post!

The first pic. is my father posing in front of Dover Castle in August 1955?

He met my mother some 12 years previously when they were both stationed here as R.N. radio ops.
(Note the rather surprised couple over his shoulder)

The second pic. is the reverse and is what that pair were looking at.

Both pictures were taken on my then new Kodak Brownie 127.

A wonderfully atmospheric period shot. I love the pin-up model on the grille.

Great pictures , I really wondered too about the pin-up girl , that Mercedes would allow it ! Thanks very much.

On the way of Dundrod in september with #11 Mercedes 300 SLR 0003 of von Trips/Simon/Kling.

Team Elite and Team Elite 62 Ltd. had a nice little Bedford transporter for their Lotus Elites.

Has anyone got pictures or know if they are shown in books , and have anyone info on the copyright holders ?

Here is a photo

While perusing my new copy of "Maserati Tipo 151 - The Last Monster From Modena" by Michelle Bollee and Willem Oosthoek, I ran across a picture on page 50 of Roger Penske's transporter at Laguna Seca in 1962. The rig consists of a two-axle two-level open trailer carrying the Zerex-Duralite Special and the 1961 Cooper-Monaco, with the tow vehicle being a station wagon (maybe a Ford). However, the piece de resistance is the moose head mounted on the front of the station wagon! Other transporters are also visible in the shot.

On the left are Cunninghams closed and open semitrailers.

Thanks for a nice US transporter. Most then used a small truck with trailer IMO.

I remember attending as a trade stand at a Truck Show event at Silverstone in the mid 1990s (it was a dismal failure so not repeated and the fees were really heavy) and seeing an interesting Yahama signed transporter. It was a four axle rigid van, make I cannot remember - the second axle appeared added - quite unusual given the type of transporter then used. Anybody remember it?

Afternoon all,

A few more photographs, from the same set as the UDT/Lotus photos I recently put on here....a few transporters and a lot of trailers













Again, any identifications of cars, location etc always welcome!!!!

thanks, Rick

#1,#3 and #4 Pau ?
#8 Lister Jaguar HCH736 ?

The Competition Cars of Australia van in no 4 suggest it is an Ausper, possibly Steve Ouvarov in a T3 as it has outboard suspension, but I have not checked. ISTR John Rhodes in a T4 later.
Roger Lund

Thanks for the many nice pictures!

Apologies if you have seen these before :-

Vasek Porsche hauler heading through the wilderness and the International Group 44 Triumph Jaguar hauler.

Rick , MRP started in 1960 with a bustransporter. The Cooper "colours does not fit MRP but Cooper. Tyrrell was doing the F3 thing for Cooper and in 1 race they had no. 70 :
1961 Brands Hatch (Guards Meeting) John Davy Trophy, Tony Maggs, Cooper BMC.

Race car in picture 1 and 4 has no. 8 , could be Ausper as suggested , but I did not find any Pau races .

En route pour Reims.

Crystal Palace, I would say.

What about the September Trophy on 02/09/1961 ?

That would make N° 8 = Gavin Youl / AUS (MRD). The Lotus 20 could be Peter Ashdown's car (race number 28). Courtesy Stefan Örnerdal's webpage.

This would probably be Goodwood on 19/08/1961 where Steve Ouvaroff's Ausper had race number 45.

I doubt it as there is nowhere at Goodwood with such hills and trees around the circuit. It looks more like a Merlyn mk3 to me, which might indicate Boxing Day Brands '61, and the name on the body looks like the end of Puddle Jumper, the Ian Raby car, where Raby showed the car's potential. But the car race no is wrong.
Try Brands, John Davey trophy, 23.4.62, no 45, Raby , mk3 Merlyn DNF
The Ausper T3 was more rounded over the front section. I will check photos here. The T4 was introduced for '62
The panel van in Comp Cars of Australia livery looks like a Commer forward control van.
Roger Lund

It says "Jumper" IMO and Raby was the "Puddle Jumper". Yes, Commer.

That looks right as the lower radius rod is very low mounted and more forward located on the Auspers, both T3 and T3. Moreover, the T4, introduced in '62, had inboard suspension at both ends, later modified, with the lay-over engine, much more so than the Lotus 22. Plus the T4 had faired in mirrors.
Roger Lund

I presume not this one and if not does anyone have any pictures of the real JWR 2 CV ?

Yes!

You do ?

Have you posted it before ?

If yes where ?

If not could you post it please ?

Excuse my naughty answer, was meant to be fun........sorry I cant post , but I can mail it to you if I have your mail addres .

Thanks for your kind offer Bjoern, PM'ed you my e-mail address

Very interesting photos:
http://www.forum-auto.com/automobile-prati...jet8002-140.htm

These photos are also posted in the Mark Donohue thread, but I see no reference in this thread to this freshly restored International Harvester transporter used by Team Penske with the Porsche 917/30 CanAm car among others. Rescue and restoration by Rick & Jacques Dresang and their dedicated crew of enthusiasts.

That is a GREAT picture we will never see those days again.

Absolutely , I feel if I called "MARK" he would look up............

Did a search of this thread and couldn't find any earlier references to it, so follow this link for a pic of the Maserati transporter (though I'm sceptical that the caption is correct - it doesn't really look like Bologna)....

New 1:43 scale miniature of Hispania Models, Pegaso Bacalao, Spanish racing transporter 1954

By barberan at 2010-08-21

By barberan at 2010-08-18

By barberan at 2010-08-18

is this a new release , It was out many years ago , now very hardto find .

That 1/43 PEGASO BACALAO model was released by MODELTRANS some years ago....now is sold out
Here in Spain some collectors would pay 3000 euros for it!!!!

I WOULD NOT PAY 3000, IT APPEARS ON ANOTHER FROM DUE OUT NOVEMBER

I received an email from HISPANIA MODELS and is price will be around 180 euros
It will only sold as BUILT.
Only 300 will be made

Only Pegaso would produce such a radical design. This huge blue rodent has my vote for Coolest Transporter of All Time!
