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?

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.

[/ QUOTE ] Perhaps I should have made it clear that I don't know either--view the Pete Lyon's racing Healey shots at:

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.
