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events from the 1920's through to the early 1990's. The first colour images appeared in the mid 1950's and 30 years of unpublished 35mm colour images remain in the LAT Black Books.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 the beam of the rays of the morning sun of this Sunday June 24, 1962, Olivier Gendebien engages his Ferrari Testa Rossa 330LM in the big S which precedes the Tertre Rouge, desert of competitors and for good reason.
Since the start the day before, the race has been raging and the spectators haven't missed a thing of the fight between the big 330LM with 4L displacement and the small Ferrari 246SP of the Rodriguez brothers. This one will be on an equal footing with its eldest, even managing to take command of the race on several occasions, until the 15th hour when their transmission will give up the ghost. They will have to let go of the Ferrari of the triple Belgian winner and of Phil Hill, double American winner, already victorious last year. This pair of drivers will thus add one more victory to their record by offering the last celebration to a Ferrari equipped with a front engine.
