Here is COOPER F1 Transporter and future MATRA SPORT ...



Papiyv .

Thanks a lot Papiyv How stupid I am ! I do have the full collection of AutoHebdo but did not notice this picture ! Can you just tell me in which issue this has been shown (to avoid I browse the 1000+ issues I have in stock !).

Hope this is not a RP. The Maserati transporter from the early 50's in Monza

Is this the same one as on the AEC bus site ?

EDIT: no it isn't

I hadnt realised the Matra transporter was ex Cooper Car Co, this is what makes TNF so interesting .

I think this is definitely the same one. This is how it looked like before its "cosmetic" upgrade back in 2005:

The Cooper/Matra LIGIER Transporter is still alive and living here;

If I have done this correctly below is a picture of Tony Dean's Bedford Val which he used in 1969 to transport his Porsche 908 Spyder around the Can Am circuit. It was quite an impressive site as there could not have been too many Bedford Vals running around the States. Photo was taken at Mid Ohio race course.

This looks, initially at least, like Gijs Van Lennep.

But it isn't, is it?!

Pray tell, Alan...

Some might consider this to be KE VII Kingsize

Hello,
Does anyone have photos of the Ferrari F1 transporters of the late 70's or early 80's
It does have decals with all production car logos (like 512BB, 308 and 308GT4)

great photo!

another bedford val providing a 'proper' service!

thats plaxton panorama bodywork for those of you interested, does anybody know if it survives?

now this is strange.

the photo above shows a uk plate which looks like 772 D??

now if this transporter is 772 DWW it could well be the one shown below, which currently resides in Sweden - this of course opens the question, how did it get from the uk to the usa to sweden?



im sure this picture has been on this thread before - i cant remember where i stole if from, but the coach has obviously had a hard life judging by the home made panels and what not, does look the same above the screen though, which is a grp moulded panel

i'll get my sherlock holmes hat and pipe

was The Beatles' 'Magical Mystery Tour' coach one of these??

No Mark, it's Ray Allen.

Bonjour

Tell me when the bidding opens, I'll buy the whole kit...in my dreams!

Here's a link to the British Leyland Works Team with Mini Cooper S, Rover & Triumph Spitfire photographed by Jeff Nield 'downunder' at Warwick Farm in September 1971.

And another.

Racing for Netherlands

a Citroen DS Break a Mercedes-Benz bus and ??? perhaps a DAF?

I think that Marlboro cars a Mondiale from 84 or 85 but I could be wrong, especially as its in France!

Not your average Tractor trailer. George Reed's trusty Caddy in the day. It got the job done!

Excellent!

Having looked through my new book : BRM a mechanics tale by Dick Salmon (with Anthony Carter) I found a IMO a great book with very interesting text. A lot and another lot of pictures , AND many BRM transporters before the Marshall time. And not only BRM ! I found that before the Commer workshop and the 3 Austin transporters , BRM used and old Leyland for workshop and an old Thames lorry ! Superb value ,with good history and traveling pictures/sitouations all over!

This said I want to thank all for sharing, and wish you a happy new year!

Good old ones ...

From the Scuderia Ferrari at Modena in 1933 :



Enzo + Tazio in 1935 with Shell transporter which looks rather like a dump truck !



Happy new year to all of you !

Good pictures all , and a happy new year to all.

Just found in one of my books than in the 1960 LM race Stanguellini France transported their sports racer on a 1 ax open trailer with a ??????? in front . You , a Cadillac much like the earlier post here !

Anyone for transporter models? Here's a 1977 Tyrrell truck, although it must be of a support vehicle as opposed to the main mover of P34s.

As far as I know . it is only in the mind of rhe kit manafacturer, I think they also did a Ferrari ome .

Please find herewith my contribution to the thread: Maserati transporter, during Tour de France Auto 2005 . Morning start in Paris.

Ian Scheckters Lexington FA transporter, Welkom 79



Gunston transporter behind

the cases which one, on the left inside the truck, go were used per hour of the lunch.

Yes, certainly a DAF.

On the very good Vanwall website is some pics (first 3 on the strip)from the paddocks(54-55).
In the background is various transporters , has any of you been able to identify any of these ?

does anybody have a pic of Pygmee formula 2 race transporter for 71 or 72 ?

sorry dont have , but I was at Thruxton in 72 and I think it was a Ford D series box van , furniture style body .

thanks edward

Hi there,

here are a few pics and a few questions for you all race transporters experts, which I am not at all !
In 1965, Team Lotus introduced a pair of new transporters aimed at carrying the new Lotus Ford Cortinas which were driven by such marvelous drivers as Jimmy Clark. Here is a picture of these transporters:



As far as I can see, these transporters have two different markings on the facia: "Thames" and in smaller characters "Marshall". This leads me to think they are based on a Ford Thames chassis (which one ?) bodied by Marshall of Cambridge, but I am not sure at all of all this. Altogether it sounds logical that the Cortinas were carried to races on a Ford truck. It must be noted that the second transporter (in the back of the picture) is different from the first one, as we can see that the side windows are different from the other one.
Note that the then current Formula One transporter (pictured a couple pages ahead in this thread) was a Bedford chassis curiously wearing an AEC Mercury windshield, and was not Ford based.

The Cortina transporters were used in this form at least until 1966, as this picture shows a S1 Europa (1966) before them:


I do have another (very poor) picture showing I think the same transporter in Gold Leaf colours, which means 1968 to 1970:


And to finish with this, I also have seen it in JPS colours, used for the 1972 Lotus 73 F3 as shown here:


Any further pics or information about these transporters is really welcome.

Gérard ! un prénom et un nom bien Français! ! !

photo prisent en 1969, devant les ateliers de Marius Dal-Bo à Annecy, à 2km de chez moi.


MDB 16, en 1971 avec Patrick Dal-Bo:

Yes indeed
un petit ilot de "french touch" dans un ocean anglo-saxon, ça fait du bien !!
je ne suis pas très loin d'Annecy : j'habite à quelques kms de Lyon.
Merci pour les photos...mais je cherce toujours une image de la déco du camion.
Amicalement

Des Français ? Pas les seuls en totu cas... de même pour Jean-François Bouzanquet, qui a fait un post (pardon, un message) page précédente et que je salue ici bien bas (lui et sa magnifique Lotus Elite bleue.

This is a shot of Stan Jones specially built transporter for his Maserati 250F at Fisherman's Bend, Melbourne, 1958. It was considered pretty impressive at the time, so much so that "Australian Motor Sports" reckoned that it would have started on scratch at Bathurst several years previously.
