It is hard to realise that the incredible Jim Clark died 47 years ago on April 7, 1968.

Here is a composite of photos from his career from the LAT photographic archives

Google www.racer.com then go down to the feature "Jim Clark to be honoured at Indianapolis" You can open the file from there and Terry is correct, some wonderful photos.

Thanks Dave. Again it reminds us of the sheer variety of cars the F1 drivers of the day peddled. The Aston looks simply stunning in Jimmy's hands

Jim Clark could drive anything to the max. and he always looked in control. I remember he beat Bruce McLaren away at the start of the 1965 NZGP at Pukekohe and then Bruce punted him off at the hairpin on about the 2nd lap ! He looked annoyed as he sat at the back of the car in the pits as the race went on.
He never had much luck at Pukekohe.

I liked these Lotus Cortina photos from the Jim Clark book " Portrait of a Great Driver" by Graham Gauld.
