Vintage shots from days gone by!

It is, and Johnny Boyd in the #8

 

Thanks for this detailed and very interesting photo, Rootie.

Would this have been taken at Legion Ascot?

You can see one of the early ball/socket type rear axle radius rods up in the air as the car is being worked on. And it looks like updraft carburetors mounted down low below the fuel tank because there would have been no fuel pump. Fuel pressure was supplied by the hand pump which would have been worked by the driver as he raced.

 

And it looks like 4 cylinder twin-overhead cam cross-flow engine. Wonder what it is?

 

Gary, are you using a coloriser app to turn B/W pictures into these glorious technicolor dreams?
And just what is your new avatar driving? Rocket-powered sled?
