Motorsport Images has the largest motoring picture collection in the world. The archive houses approximately 18 million images of which in the region of half are black and white negatives and glass plates. The library is made up of images from the world of motor sport since it began and every conceivable road car since it's invention. This incredible archive is the result of the amalgamation of a number of previously separate archives, which are now housed under one roof.
Many of the images are published pictures from the magazines owned and bought by Haymarket over the years and the archive contains the original prints from the very first 'Autocar' issue published in 1895 right through to the present day issue. 'The Motor' archive contains more sporting images with black and white negatives, glass plate and acetate from 1924 - subjects include road cars, sprints, hill climbs, motor shows and Grands Prix.
The original Teesdale Company supplied pictures to 'MotorSport' magazine (founded in 1924) and Motoring News (founded in 1955) and has over 4 million black & white negatives of motor racing events from the 1920's through to the early 1990's. The first colour images appeared in the mid 1950's and 30 years of unpublished 35mm colour images remain in the LAT Black Books. LAT now supplies the Haymarket Media Group, commercial clients, the worldwide media and agencies with motor sport coverage from around the world from Formula 1 to karting.
The 'Autosport' archive contains images from the world's leading motorsport weekly. Since 1950 all aspects of motor racing from Formula 1, Le Mans and sports cars, rallying, single seaters and club racing have been photographed and archived in colour and black and white formats.
In 1965, from the 7th hour of the race, all the Ford GT40s will once again have retired during this new edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, leaving victory to Ferrari. Including this original Roadster, from the 11th lap. But once again the magic operates by seeing these images. The names of the drivers are also very evocative: Maurice Trintignant and Guy Ligier.
The car is one of the 5 GT40 designed by the English at Ford Advanced Vehicles who had imagined the open body inspired by the Ferrari 275 and 330P, this configuration will prove to be ineffective.
This model had been bought by Guy Ligier for the Ford France team, a car he did not drive during this edition of Le Mans 1965 since Maurice Trintignant, who is taking part here in his last 24 hours of Le Mans after 15 participations, will start of the race and will give up from the 2nd hour, broken gearbox. That's him driving in the photo.
The N°54 “Spitfire” of Team Standard Triumph Co Ltd., which is taking part in its second 24 Hours of Le Mans, will finish just behind its little sister N°60, 13th overall and winner in the 1100cm3 class. Triumph had produced superb racing cars that are highly sought after today.
Finally, the N°18 Ferrari 365 P2/P1, driven by Pedro Rodriguez/Nino Vaccarella, will be ranked 7th.
