Title: Matra photos wanted
Post by: Boorish Grobian on January 31, 2018, 09:12:35 pm
Hi Guys,
Looking for some good pre-race, pit lane, or paddock shots of the #10 Beltoise-Cevert Matra 670B from the 1973 LM 24 Hrs.
when I was a young lad I was a big fan of the French blue screamers, and Cevert.  I'm in the process of building a model of the '73 JPB-FC car, and some photos would be helpful.  Also looking to purchase prints of the car.
On track images are fairly straightforward to find, but pit & paddock photos seem more scarce.
If any of our esteemed photographers on here have any, or could recommend someone who may have some, I will be very grateful.
I've checked the usual suspects, LAT, Sutton, etc.  Not much luck, or help there.
Cheers,
Fax

Did you check racingsportscars.com ?   (just looked myself, only got 2 pictures)

Washington photo's in Le Mans might be your best bet.  Guess they have the biggest LM archive around.

Can't find a website, seems like they've been bought by Launic.  Maybe best to google them and see what results you get.
