Re: Show us your F1 Memorabilia / F1 related items you've bought
That's a very nice photo. ^^^ If you feel bad keeping it under the circumstances, I'll take it off your hands.
Played with Greg's scan. Could be better, but I think it's a marked improvement from the raw. >8^) ER |

Re: Show us your F1 Memorabilia / F1 related items you've bought
Searched today once again my photo albums middle of the 90's and found two images which might be interesting someone here.
Finish ex-Formula 1 television comentator interviews J.J Lehto at the Helsinki Motor Show 1997. The year must be 1997, the posters behind: BMW Motorsport #8 Longtail GTR and Le Mans #42. Show was December 1997 like it was also year before, when #16R was in the show. Anyway, hope atleast someone is interested these two images.

Re: Show us your F1 Memorabilia / F1 related items you've bought
Sami,
Did you know that Lehto raced BPR'95 Zhuhai, the last race of the season, in Team Tom's Toyota Supra GT-R? I noticed it as I checked earlier the results of 07R from the GT Endurance 1995. He raced it with Dalmas but was forced to retirement due to "evil handling, probably consequence of a major accident on Friday" as the book states. So I throw you a challenge to clear out, how did he/they end up driving a Toyota after LM victory? |

First I thought he was there with GTR's but then I read a bit more. I don't know were to start looking that, it seems that everything concerning those years are very much left in to the darkness. Back those days, FInland had huge F1 interest and that's why media really did not wroten any else really much. I tryed to look that couple of pages on the Internet, wikipedia and some Finish columns, there was nothing. Just ITC with Opel and that Le Mans victory were mentioned. Can you maybe tell that time more, even it's Off Topic? Send me a PM if you have something information about this?!

Re: Show us your F1 Memorabilia / F1 related items you've bought
Sorry to let you down on this, but that's all I have now for it: just that short text and the mentioning of Dalmas as well in the results table of the book.
I thought that maybe you would have found something in those national motor sports books or news articles you have collected. Definitely a work for Sherlock Holmes those years. |

And my magazine project is under construction, I think it will be long time to searching those magazines 1995-1997 years, mostly Finish ones but English ones also are welcome. But I'll get back this Supra subject!

Re: Show us your F1 Memorabilia / F1 related items you've bought
While Sami works on that JJ research, I'll drag this thread back on topic with a few more things I have wanted and needed to share.
For starters, here's a lightly used Wheel Nut from the F1 that I have in my collection. It has some scuffs on the corners of the hexagonal portion and some small wear issues with the center logo cap, but surprisingly the back side appears to have never been tightened down at the 400 lb-ft or so required to hold the F1s wheels on, though I am sure that it was. I've seen others come up for auction that appear to have seen a lot more cycles before being tossed out. I have no idea which car this came off of, but it's quite a special piece to have and I am glad I was able to get one. My little shelf pics there are kind of boring, but I handed it to a friend on Saturday morning and he took this great photo of it. = = = = = = Moving on from that is probably the most special piece of F1-related memorabilia in my entire collection after my "McLaren" badge. It's also the biggest too, measuring at 36" by 32" in its frame. This is a serigraph of one of the shots from the Penrhyn slate quarry in Wales which were used in the F1's Monaco Launch Brochure, the cover of "Driving Ambition" and have appeared in many other places. It is autographed by the F1's stylist, Peter Stevens; the F1's designer, Gordon Murray; and the photographer, Colin Curwood. It is numbered 342/500 and in all my years collecting bits and info related to the F1 I can only recall seeing one or two others ever become available. If you have watched the "The Car's the Star: McLaren F1" clips on YouTube a few times, you may recall seeing one of these on the wall over Creighton Brown's left shoulder at about the 2:40 point of Part 2. Here's a quick and dirty screengrab: Now some of you may also recall I purchased this way back in July of 2003 for the shockingly low price of just $49. It might also suprise many to hear that I waited almost 5 years to finally get it framed... There were several reasons for this, but primarily it was because I could not make up my mind on how to frame it, or what sort of frame I wanted to use. I also felt it was staying better protected inside it's large mailing tube and until I was sure of how I'd frame it, it was better off in there. I finally ended up with something I am very pleased with - it's a metal frame in a slate blue color that matches the print quite well. I chose to have it done with no matting after going back and forth on that for quite a while too. It now hangs above my desk in my home office where I sit and do most of my research and posting here, there and everywhere. I need only glance upward to see it and I am beyond pleased with how it turned out. It gets a lot of compliments and it really is a stunning piece of work. This was the item auction description way back when: Quote:
