Title: Challenge: What car is this ? Post by: Lennart Sorth on September 18, 2004, 02:45:27 pm I have recieved this request from Davide Montini :
# My name is Davide Montini and I collect postcards featuring F1 # and Sportscar cars. # I have found this postcard...it seems from 1965, 1966 or 1967. # It seems Monaco: I don't know the exact year, the driver and if # this F1 or F2 or F3. # # Could You help me ? # # Kind Regards # Davide Montini (Torino) Title: Re:Challenge: What car is this ? Post by: Lennart Sorth on September 18, 2004, 02:50:17 pm It looks like a MS5/6 car (?) - at least not F1.
French advert, and guard-rail supports Monaco tjheory. Matra didn't race that many formula cars with #15 on them. My closest suggestions are: Formule-2 1966-1969 ===================== 1966: 11/9 Monthlhery , #15 Hahne, MS5-BRM - finished 10th 1966: 30/10 Brands Hatch, #15 Ickx, MS5-COS - finished 4th and (1968: 3/6 Crystal Palace, #15, Pescarolo, MS7, retired) But since the driver apparently is waving (and driving rather slowly) it suggests a good performance, and this is the lap-of-honour (?). If I search for a Matra formula 2/3 car, which finished at Monaco, which COULD be number 15, I'm left with only this one: 1966 21/5: Monaco , Jaussaud, MS5, finished 5th |
