Another mystery photo

[Michael Oritt]

While looking around some of the corners of my computer I came upon a page of saved Healey racing shots. Here's another guy with Bermuda shorts--does anyone know when and where this was taken?

England, 1956. That's my final answer. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

Don't think it's England.....the cars are left-hookers, and the plate on the far one is the wrong shape for a UK car. The clothes are wrong, too. It's America or Canada. I'm going to guess Sebring,1955.

With the natty clothes and all...it could be the Hamptons circa '56 (Bridgehampton?).

BTW some of the photos are identified as Sebring shots but I am sure the one I attached to the earlier post is NOT an early Sebring shot--the greatest elevation there had to have been the Martini-Rossi bridge.

Bridgehampton. You can tell from the black socks, a fashion statement that was prominent amongst the Bridgehampton fashionistas until Brooks Brothers realized that white socks were not a mere trend.

Very clever Anthony--and I guess that would also explain WHEN it was taken as well.

no.but judging by the absence of long shadows on the ground,id guess between 10a.m and 11:20a.m? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
