Lots of programmes starting with 1968 Tourist Trophy at Oulton Park (won by Denny Hulme in a T70), Hannu Mikkola's tax disc holder when he crashed his Escort on the RAC in 69 (?) and gave Mikkola's Bend its name and Jean Paul Jarier's pass (armband) from Italian GP Monza 1973 . But the best way to fuel nostalgia is to go to an HSCC meeting and/or talk to like minded people on the wonderful Autosport Nostalgia Forum, the only web forum I know where there is next to no sniping or hissy fits and which is populated by heavyweight enthusiasts like Doug Nye .

Spot on, Coppice. But I will add weight to your advice - it's a forum for members who were taught manners when they were younger, and still retain those manners. Many PH members may feel a little "lost". I learned the hard way about how PH works, and restrict my posting to certain threads!

The other day I received in the post a programme from the early '50s that I'd bought on e-bay, opened it to look at the contents, and there on the F3 500cc entry list was the signature of a very young S.C.Moss. Bonus. My programme collection stops at 1966 or thereabouts - I lost interest when Chunky starting painting his cars like fag packets.
