Went down to LeMans to meet the other TVR nobs and see a bit of racing.  Had to drive down in Monika's VW Golf 1.6 instead of the Cerbie due to it not being fixed since breaking down in Nice!

The other cars were still impressive, even the Cadillacs and Corvettes.  The pits were busy constantly.

Pics are all sharp, the scanner is pants!    Let me know if you want a better resolution copy and I'll see if I can be arsed.  Used a Nikon F3 with Nikon 135, 50 and 24mm lenses and Fuji ASA 200 print film.  Night shots were done on Ilford ASA 3200 film with no flash.
