The right front fender of no. 6 gives an indication of a DNF. Inside the car picture is Storez to the the right - I think his co driver Buchet in the middle - don't know the gent to the left?

Gerard,

Thank you for helping with the names and faces! Am I correct that Alexandre Gacon and Robert Buchet do look alike? I believe that Buchet was a co driver with Storez at times.

Hi Michael

You are right for 2 reasons :
Robert Buchet lookalight than Alexandre Gacon but Robert was a little more I should say in French "massif" (heavier)
Claude Storez and Robert Buchet were the best friends of the world from 1956 to 1959

Thank you Trevor! Nice photos of Spyder #? (Andrew, Steve?) I'll be it surprised you how small of a car it is in person. Thanks again for posting these! Justin

BTW: Glad to see you have the photo loading thing all dialed in now!

The revamp of my posters are complete and I think they really capture that 1950s vintage feel. I want to do these as 30" x 40" screenprinted posters which will really make them pop. I am strongly considering doing a kickstarter campaign to get funding as there are a lot of set up costs with each poster being 6-8 colours each. Lots of planning to do so I can make it happen...

The posters turned out beautiful Andrew! A lot of time invested in the artwork on each I am sure. Any thoughts on offering these as a t-shirt?

Great stuff you guys! Thank you!
