Anyone that have a link to a website that sells photographs of Piers Courage?

I'm particularly looking for a high quality photograph where he drives in a BRM P126 (nr.16) around Monaco 1968 and is followed by his team mate Richard Attwood also in a BRM P126 (nr.15)

This is the one i'm looking for (see att.)
As you can see it's spread over two pages.
80% of the pictures i really seem to like are always split over 2 pages

Nope, the only credits are listed in the first page of the book and there are several.
So i don't know who made the image. Besides there are several historical musea mentioned

Contact the publisher of the book and ask for their assistance.
It is very possible that the photo they used could be in their records or, at the very least, they may have retained information on the photographer.

It's worth a shot and is a method I used many years back to obtain a photograph.

c'mon, hit it up, you slacker. that rollbar and those mirrors didn't take 2 months, did they

coming along nicely. i've been thinking... shall we have something like this for one of the upcoming mods? menu graphics made by the team, not (awesome) paintings by a certain mr turner?

(c'mon take the bait)

bewtyful stuff! i forgot if i asked this already elsewhere - what resolution are you going at it? enough for a nice quality print on the wall over the couch?
