Hello all , I cannot understand why so many pics have been , and still are send , so that if I want to see them there is a little square with a red cross in ! Can anyone please explain that to me , because I cant see them. What do I lack or is it my PC? I have been searching a lot in old threads and....a bit annoying. Please explain. Regards Bjørn

Its not your PC Im afraid, its the site where the pics being hosted. Maybe the person who posted the pic had cancelled their account, or reached their usage limits or just taken the picture off.

Thanks Ghinzani , makes a lot more sence to me now. Regards Bjørn

Under "search" I found the C.T.Atkins thread with alot of info and some fine pictures. One shows John Fishers van , another an Morris Oxford (white/red)van , anyone to identify this one? Bjørn

Better late than never... I'm a newbie on this list. David Prophet was my Dad. I've recently been going thru many photos and paperwork relating to his racing. Amongst them are photos of various transporters. Also some shots from 1964. I was a few weeks old, mum and dad were in south africa towing cars on a trailer between meetings. Mum describes a mishap on a dirt road resulting in the trailer uncoupling and them seeing one of the cars from the trailer passing the towing car! The tow car ended up in a ditch but my carrycot, suspended from the ceiling, remained horizontal. Needless to say Dad took little comfort in that and tore after the car. I will scan in photos of any of this stuff if you are interested.

Welcome to TNF, Jane.
I'm sure that any such pictures, anecdotes or other information would be warmly greeted here!

Jane, welcome. You will find you are among friends with long and generous memories. All/any archive material is always very much appreciated by TNFers.

Roger Lund.

Welcome from me too , I am crazy about transporters and vans , also "partphotos" as well as the storys behind and their drivers/teams. Regards Bjørn Kjer

Jane , a warm welcome , Iam in Ireland and I remember yor dad racing , Brabham, GT40 , etc , I am sure he used a crew cab Ford Thames transporter , am I correct if so can you post photos if you have some .

Hi Jane

Welcome to TNF. Your dad was a bit of a legend in the Birmingham area and I followed his exploits with great interest. I'm sure many of us would be keen to see those pictures.

Allen

Welcome, Jane.

As you can see, there will be plenty of interest!

I suggest you start a new thread concerning soley your father when you've got some scans ready.

Hey Twin , my reply appearently got lost ,I told that I had not found much about David Prophet, that his is on my search list, and I suggested the thread Who was? or like you a completely new.
Perhaps a whole new one would give more responce from readers! Regards Bjørn

Henk,
Would that be an F1 flat 12 Tecno ?

Marc,

Yes indeed, F1 engine 3000 flat 12 Tecno.

Regards,

Henk A. Hazelaar

Thanks for the warm welcome. I've also directed my sister, Lisa, to the list. We will scan images in and then start a new thread (good advice). So, I shall 'lurk' on the list until the images are ready.

I'm looking forward to seeing them, Jane - I saw your father race quite a few times. Your own website was worth looking at too!

Where did that race Henk, is it based on a T210 series, or a T290 ??

Dan,

I will asking the current owner.
Please wait.

Regards,

Henk A. Hazelaar

Hoorray! I have pictures of Rob Walker transporter 62-? (Austin). In the new splendid Siffert film their are also some transporters to be seen!!! Regards Bjørn

The Noddy Van , was that a BMC ?? Any specs., year???? Regards Bjørn

found this somewhere while googling
it was captioned Zolder 81

Think it should be 1980

There's written A. Prost on the side of the cockpit, can't be 1980

Jane,

Good to see you on this list. I've always said that it was walking past the garage in Kings Norton on the way to school (I lived at the end of Icknield Street right on the edge of the countryside and went to Broadmeadow Infants & Juniors) that MUST have kindled my love of all things F1 and associated bits. I still remember the sights and sounds that were to be had on occasions.

I firmly believe that there is a book to be had out of your Dad's life and I for one would love to see some photos from the "old" days!

Paul

Take a look at www.VIRhistory.com , hundreds of pics, good history ,also U.S. transporters .

Hello all ,many a good info as well as pics have I found in books ,on the net , and not the least here on TNF . I am still searching as you know and others are too ....just wanted to say that I will make a text compendium on my search in the near future...for free to all of you,I plan ,unless there are way too many who wants it ? Give me a hint as to who would like , so I can get an overwiev.

Regards Bjørn

PS I can help with translation of German !

;) Hi again , in the Birdcage to Supercage book on p94 : In the background behind the Ecosse transporter , who ?????
Regards Bjørn

Bjorn, I don't recall seeing a picture of Andre's transporter in 1961. The only one I remember is the Ford van (he was a Ford dealer then) with Gordini written on its sides in the 50s.

I'm not sure if it was in 61 but I, sonehow, think he travelled with Parnell. Maybe I've seen a b&w picture of the transporter with two or three cars.

Hello Antoine , thanks for your info. The "Gordini" Ford van , would that have been painted yellow? Any info ,even guesses is welcome here , because its a difficult area of motor racing to search ! But slowly , I think its building up. Paddock pics is also seldom but often contain many infos. Some of the drivers then didnt have transporters and took a car on san open trailer which was even less an eye opener to a "real" transporter. I thought Andre could have been one of them , but the Parnell idea ? Why not , but then Andre would have driven his personal car to the tracks. Please if you get some new info , come back , 50es or 60es .
Bjørn
I have seen your name many times , family?
PS2 I also saw some pictures fra the Pilette archive hoping, but I cannot find it ,many times just a glimse of a transporter or van .......

Bjørn, sorry for not responding to You earlier (and if I misspelled Your name, all of the sudden I have probs with fonts), but the book was on loan, and I've just got it back... Unfortunately I don't have the scanner, but I'll keep You in mind if I lay my hands on one.

Regarding Brabham photo (Spa '62), I'm not entirely sure, but it looks that Lotus is on trailer being pulled by a light coloured van (both carrying reg no 776 NPG). Other than that not much can be seen.

There are two more photos that show trailers You might be interested in- Ferrari transporter arriving at Spa '62, and 'paddock at Rouen the same year. Latter one has Cooper transporter, barely visible van with a trailer, mostly obscured transporter with visible (but IMHO uniteligible) reg plate atop, Porsche trailer and support van, then two trailers (first one reg VWE 63 and some writing on the back; most of the 2nd one is also obscured but part of the side can be seen- must have some writing framed by two lines). Parked opposite to transports are few Lotus cars (Trintignant and Gregory), Hill with his BRM, another BRM a nd a car that seems to be fresh from one of those transporters (#42)...

Hello Wolf , sounds real interesting , thanks.
