Tony Stott – Part 2: European motorsport

Australia, motorsport, Tony Stott

Images Tony took at various motorsport events across Europe. Nick Hutchin’s believes one of those red Ferraris is a very rare variant. EDIT: it is car 24 a Ferrari 330P4, 1967 Le Man`s 24hr, finished 3rd. Thanks Nick.

Unfortunately, Tony misplaced or lost many of his slides, but enough remain to indicate he did have create a rich legacy on his European trip.

The name Englebert plastered all over one of the images was probably the Belgium tyre manufacturer that was big in F1 in the 1960’s. The location is probably Spa Raceway in Belgium in 1967.

You have probably not seen Tony looking so young!

Tony Stott – Part 1: F1 Monaco

Australia, Tony Stott, Uncategorised

A good friend, Tony Stott, recently passed away after a long illness. I will be posting images over the coming weeks in memory of Tony.

I meet Tony through the NSW WRX Club over 20 years ago. We shared a common interest in the WRX and driving more generally. We stayed in contact and often spoke about cars, boats and travel.

I sometimes met up when I drove past Forster going north, more than once at the Nabiac Roadhouse around 1am! I drove into Forster to have lunch every so often.

In 2014 I took Tony on a trip to remote parts of Australia which he enjoyed immensely. I will get to those images later. Let’s go back a few years.

In the late 1960’s Tony travelled to Europe by ship and took images of various races including the F1 at Monaco. Tony took these images curb side with no safety barriers – how things have changed. I scanned those images a few years ago.

In memory of Tony I present some F1 images from Monaco.
