Photo request - 1907 Berliet Curtiss special

[Chris71]

Hi all,

This might be a bit of a long shot, but I'm trying to track down some action photos of John Dennis's 1907 Berliet Curtiss special. The car is a regular competitor at vintage sprint and hillclimb events so I thought I'd enquire to see if anyone here had any shots?

There are a few images on things like Flickr, but so far I've not been able to track down the copyright owners.





Cheers,

Chris

I found that one on Getty Images, but the rates are extortionate. It's for a small enthusiast-run magazine and we just don't have the budget. I've got some shots of the car I took myself, but they're not in a competition setting:

Thanks, that'd be good. I'm after anything that shows the car in a motorsport setting. My shots from suburban Surrey don't quite do the trick!

Anyone from the TVR forums will spot its resemblance to the legendary and also mythical 1903 Codger-Bealey

Has it run at the Goodwood FOS in recent years? I missed 2014 but if it's been at others I should have a shot or more somewhere.

Ah! Just realised you get more contact options if you sign up to Flickr! Have found a load more and contacted the relevant photographers, but still keen to hear from anyone else who has shots.

The only one I've got is from the paddock, Prescott 2012. Searched all my originals and have nothing showing it in motion, sorry.

eta: Of course it is the car, I've just looked at the number plate! These are my pictures and you are welcome to use them (No cost other than a copy of the publication if that's possible). I will also not be offended if you don't think they are good enough for your needs or are not what you are looking for

Hi,

I was wondering if I could also use some a photo of this vehicle please? My father built the radiator and I'm looking for a photo to put in his website. John Dennis has kindly supplied a nice testimonial but I only have a hard copy of the photo. If you could help it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

You can use mine.

Drop me an email via my profile and I can send you a load of static shots. Incidentally, we did an article on the car in Historic Racing Technology and I think your dad is mentioned.

Has it ever raced at Motorsport at the Palace do you know? If one has, I'll go check my archive.
