Neat old race car pictures...

[Sherlock]

Came across some pictures on Flickr, some neat old racing pictures, I suspect the person knows very little about the pictures/cars, but thinks northern Portugal, maybe 1970's

"Miura" - what is this car? maybe it's easy but I don't know my race cars very well...

Something about Eduardo Santos and a wreck and rebuilding it... And oak trees.. and molds made of wood and adobe? I don't know.

OK. Eduardo Santos has a garage called Aurora... built some custom racers on Porsche 906 chassis. (chasae? chassises?)

From what I can tell, some guy in austria owns it now and was racing it this year in some euorpean vintage races.

The pictures are definately from the early 70's in Portugal.

I found several more cool pictures of pre-80's Portuguese racing here:
