what is the max jpg file size that can be uploaded to this forum?

Try posting one and when it is rejected it will tell you what the specs are. About 720 pxl fits the screen nice, but the size (bites) is usually a very low quality allowed

Keep the file under 200K. I can often get 800 to 1000 pixels wide with a JPEG compression of medium (4 or 5) and be under 200K.

Here are some photos. The chassis number plate says it is chassis -1, but the plate looks awfully new and done by hand, so who knows.

The fellow who works on it said it was damaged in a race and not ready for the race Piers Courage was killed in. The current owner got it recently and had Hall and Hall fix the damage from that long-ago race and restore it to concourse-quality.

He said it ran for the first time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July. To me it looked like it hadn't been driven at all since restoration and it didn't run at the Silverstone Classic.

Looks like the photos have to uploaded one at a time. Or is there a way to do multiple?

I don't see the photo
Trying again.

The last photo shows one of the magnesium bulkheads that, according to DeTomaso the Man and the Machines, was unique to the DeTomaso. The mechanic said this was "the heavyweight car," the lightweight car having had the flat areas between the ribs in the bulkhead removed to decrease weight.

The car had a Cosworth engine back in the day, too.

Wow. It sure is nice to see this car back together. This was how it looked when I last saw it at the factory on my trip to Modena.

They told me the engine and chassis had been returned to Williams.

one more...

Were there two of these cars...?

Jim, great photos and fantastic restoration. Thanks for sharing.

If you want to post multiple images, you need to create a new photo gallery instead of a post. Unfortunately, you need to do it with the first post. You can't change a thread to a gallery later.

David, I wonder if those are the same cars because there are quite a few differences between them. Most notably the location of the front wings and the shape/placement of the windscreen.

Great looking car, and man, would I ever love to have a set of those wheels...

Jim, at the top of the page are tabs for "Go" "New" "Find" etc. Start with new, click on new photo album and follow the tabs. It was surprisingly easy the first time I tried it...and I am not a computer expert!

Regarding there being more than one car:
The DeTomaso: TMATHM book says 4 chassis were constructed, but then describes -1 being rebuilt and labeled -2. It then discusses -3 exclusively regarding which races it ran in, making no further mention of the other chassis.
So who knows.
