Set of six colour photos of the 1960 Montlhery 1000 kms GT race 'Le Mans start' which features Innes Ireland's Aston Martin DB4 closest to the camera as the drivers run across the road, climb into the cars and make a rapid exit. As Ireland's car pulls away Jim Clark's Aston DB4 GT is visible next in line making a slower start and all around are Ferrari 250GT SWBs including Mairesse, Whitehead and Scarlatti.
Nice photos of these charismatic early 60's GT racers at a classic circuit doing the classic run-and-jump type of start that hasn't been seen since the 60s!
