    My God, just when I think all the photos of this amazing car have been found, you come up with this fabulous collection. Well done sir!! I love the shot from inside the cockpit. It really shows how Charlie had to curl up into a ball to drive this thing. Imagine running 5 miles in that position, and going nearly 300 miles per hour!! Mr. Markley surely had a huge pair!!
