Is it the first ever 'Williams' FX3. Crashed in its first race by Henri Pescarolo. Factory I guess is in Didcot?

Yes it is the FX3 and it did crash first time out in 1972.The factory,Frank Williams Racing Cars was in Slough(67-72)

There's a Ginetta G15 (next to the mini van) parked up there.

Gosh, there is not much wrong with your eyesight, obviously another Ginetta fan in Suffolk?

Oh yeah, big fan. In fairness, I've seen that photo before.

Bliemy, I thought I'd been around and seem most of everything - never seen one of these anywhere. Look nice, Will reseach.

Because Brazil....

Aha, thanks.. Still surprised I've never seen one at the thousands of car meets I've attended though.

That looks like Fuzz Townsends place off Car SOS.

Close, but not a cigar, as my mate used to say.

Not quite outside.....but BOSS 429 number 1 at the end of the production process at the Kar Kraft facility in Brighton, Michigan.



What Kar Kraft looked like from the outside from the same time period.

I believe it is. Parked next to the Triump Herald, blocking in a Rover.

Unrelatedly, I found this. Okay it's inside, but...
