luigi bertolotti Posted March 29, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 29, 2008 Splendid take of a legendary cockpit... unforgettable Jimmy... is it a 25 or 33 ? The steer and the clutch lever emerge to remember us ow more "human" were GP cars of that times... P.s.: Pete, time ago you posted a splendid pic of a Dino 246... I asked in reply if it was the one that won WChamp with Hawthorn in '58... but you clearly didn't come back to that post... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglouis Posted March 31, 2008 Share #6 Posted March 31, 2008 My hero when I was about 8 years old. Such a shame, one of the greats. Superb shots, btw. LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijporter Posted April 13, 2008 Share #7 Posted April 13, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I stand to be corrected, but it looks to me like a 49. You were privileged to be able to get your camera 'inside', so to speak! Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Front tyres, to me, don't look as 49... and... I'd say, neither the rpm instrument... but me too stand to be corrected... we are all thinking to a formula 1, but Jimmy drove a number of Formula 2 from Lotus...

ijporter Posted April 13, 2008 Share #9 Posted April 13, 2008 Attached are a couple of shots of Graham Hill's Lotus 49 'R3' from 1967, currently in the Beaulieu collection. Although I couldn't replicate Pete's shot, they prompted me to think it may be an early 49. In the end, he will let us know - oh, the suspense!

Ian I'd say... 90% you are right... really the first pic is a 49: here I found some pics of 33 and 25 : 1964 - 1965 Lotus 33 Climax - Images, Specifications and Information Tyres of even smaller size (5 principal engravings, 6 in "your" 49 as in the depicted Clark's car), and, seems, one more instrument at the left.

flavio Posted April 15, 2008 Share #12 Posted April 15, 2008 one of the best driver ever! i still remember his third position at monza gp in 1967. his was able to get the first position after a flat tire and one lap loose (!). but in the very last lap, just before the parabolica, his lotus did turn with no gasoline and jim was able to arrive at the end line with engine turned down. john surtees was the winner with his honda and jack brabham with his own build car as the second driver. jim clark, what a great driver! still today when i hear about hockenheim circuit i remember the flying scottish and that sad day in 1968, about one year after lorenzo bandini's death at montecarlo chicane. thanks to share his lotus pictures.

Graeme Graeme, There is "The Jim Clark Room" in Duns, it is worth a visit even if you are not a race fan. Most of his trophies are there and there are some fabulous old photographs too.
