F1 team factories

Hello all,

I wonder if anyone can help - repeated searching of this forum and incessant Googl-ing hasn't thrown up much information, so I thought I'd put it out there and ask you to rack your collective brains...

I'm currently working on a project, and I need to find out addresses of old and / or defunkt F1 teams. I'm talking 60s through to 90s. Some of those I'm particularly interested in are the old Shadow factory in Weedon, Northants and the original Milton Keynes base of Arrows, before the move to Leafield, but as many as you can come up with would be very useful and very much appreciated.

Feel free to PM me if you'd prefer - many thanks in advance.

Lotus were at Cheshunt (Herts) before moving to Hethel, near Norwich.

They might have been in Hornsey (East London) before that but that could have been prior to Formula 1 days.

Shadow were at Ross Rd, Weedon Rd IE, Nottingham NN5 5AX and Arrows were at 39 Barton Road, Water Eaton IE, Bletchley MK2 3HW

Most major racing car manufacturers' addresses can be found in the annual FIA Yellow Books.

how many questions can be answered with "have you read the Blue Book?"

they used to list addresses of all the F1 teams in the green pages... haven't checked all years but for instance the 1992 copy has them....

you can also go to a library and look up in phone directories or Kelly's directory, reference libraries keep all the old copies...

It may be worth tracking down a copy of Jason Woolgar's Grand Prix Alamanac (copies of which are quite cheap various web sources) for this includes contact details for all the teams which competed in the 1994 F1 season.
