My Formula 1 (and 2) single-seater collection has run parallel to the sports cars found on another page.

The time criteria for this collection is from the beginnings of the World Championship in 1950 to the end of the 1.5 litre F.1 regulations in 1965.

Among the images you can see on this page are a number of cars that are not available to buy; these have been re-painted by myself to represent particular cars in particular races, e.g. the light green 1959 B.R.M as driven by Stirling Moss in the British Grand Prix.

There may well be errors in the information - I guess that's inevitable, so please feel free to e-mail me at the address below if you have any comments/corrections to make. I promise I won't take it personally!
