The Front Row, Silverstone 1973.
Just found this photograph. The original is about two feet X two feet, and was used as some kind of Exhibition picture, because the caption read:
"IT WAS THERE WHEN WE LEFT THE PADDOCK"? This was under MIKE EVANS, as he was looking underneath his Patrick Motors Group Mini 850. The front row consisted of Pole Postion: PETER BALDWIN Mini. Then next to Peter was NICK BIRCH, IMP, who sadly passed away last year. Then yours truly ANGLIA, and Mike in his mini.
This was in 1973 at Silverstone. The race ended with Peter taking the win, I was second (after the spin-pictured elsewhere) and Nick retired. Mike set a new lap record for 850 class. This picture has not been seen on any site at all, as it has languished in my loft since those fantastic days of hybrid racing saloons. Hope you enjoy the picture.
