Silverstone TT 1972


Gardner leaning over his Camaro's engine room.
The Silverstone round always showed interesting cars from the domestic series - here the AMC Javelin of David Howes.
The Camaro of Thomas and Sanger - not eligible for ETCC points. The works Capri of Mass.
Two private Capri's: The Frami car for Franck/Hezemans... ... and the British car for Muir.
There were Escorts, of course: the British car of Brodie... ... and Crabtree.
A regular ETCC competitor: the Broadspeed BDA of de Uriarte/Barrios. The two Filipinetti Fiat's.
The Swedish Topcon team brought some Juniors...
... just like the Autodelta team.
The Bevan Imp of McGovern, British champion for years, finished 14th; the other car was on the reserve list.
Some sort of grid; looks like the Broadspeed Escort next to the Frami Capri. From left to right: Glemser, Muir, Mass and Leech's Mustang.
The works Capri of Mass... ... and the privateer Capri of Muir.
Again the Capri of Franck, who shared this time with Hezemans. They gave the works cars a good run for their money. The Camaro of Martin Thomas.
One of the three Swedish Topcon Alfa Romeos. A real fight between the Cologne works car and the privateer entry of Franck and 1972 journeyman Hezemans. They try to lap Mendham (Mini) and Coffey (Escort TC).
