    Vintage sport car I.D. help.

    My dad got a hold of some slides for a local scca race at the Cumberland Maryland Airport in May/1960. I was wondering what are some of these cars?

          #2 is a lotus 11 as deltron pointed out, with the passenger door open!

          #70 is also a lotus 11

            ahh shiet. no wonder that looked familiar.

            one of my friends dad's friend owns an original Porsche RSK spyder.

            showed me a few pictures of it. he drives on the weekends whenever hes at his house in the hamptons.

            only 35 were made iirc and the last one sold at an auction around 3 mil. x_x

                Wow, you've got some great and historic photos here. The cars, the spins, all in color..very nice.

                I see maybe some Maserati, Aston Martin (?), a 250 Ferrari, Listers(?), Porsche RSK, some oddballs, some home-made specials... can't tell you.

                The guy going thru the peach baskets is a great shot.

                    AWWW, this is 100% in my wheelhouse! Missed out...

                    Edit: still some left to ID!

                    Okay. Picture 1 is a Lotus 11 as mentioned.

                    Picture 2 from front to rear is I think a Maserati 300S, Ferrari something, Devin Jaguar probably but it's hard to tell, Lister Knobbly, Porsche RSK, Lotus 11, Ferrari 250 GT SWB, and Lister Knobbly.

                    Picture 3 is a Lotus 9 with what looks like an old Saab 93 in the background (two-stroke!).

                    Picture 4 is Lotus 11 and Maserati 300S.

                    Picture 5 is the Devin sandwiched between two Listers.

                    Picture 6 is the same stuff with an RSK for good measure.

                    Picture 7 is a special of some sort followed by the 11.

                        What makes you think the Devin is jag powered?

                        Edit: I think i can see side pipes on both sides which makes me think V8 like a lot of them were.
