EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1976 Avon Tour of Britain, three legendary drivers stand proudly beside their powerful racing machines. The photo captures a moment before the start of the event, as Tony Lanfranchi, Gerry Marshall, and Tony Pond strike a pose with their respective cars. On the left stands Tony Lanfranchi next to his sleek Mayfair Opel Commodore. With its aerodynamic design and bold red color, it exudes speed and elegance. Beside him is Gerry Marshall, leaning casually against his Vauxhall Firenza. Its aggressive stance hints at the raw power that lies beneath its hood. Completing this trio is Tony Pond with his Leyland Dolomite Sprint – a compact yet formidable contender in this high-stakes race. The atmosphere surrounding these drivers is one of anticipation and determination. Their focused expressions reveal their commitment to conquering every twist and turn on the challenging course ahead. As they prepare for battle against fellow competitors, each driver's car represents not only their individual style but also their unwavering pursuit of victory. However, amidst this impressive lineup stands another vehicle that demands attention – the victorious Ford RS2000 driven by Ari Vatanen and Peter Bryant. This portrait serves as a reminder that success in motorsport requires skillful driving coupled with exceptional teamwork. Preserved through time by LAT Photographic's lens, this remarkable image encapsulates an era when racing was fueled by passion rather than commercial interests alone. It immortalizes these iconic figures who pushed boundaries on British roads during those unforgettable days in July 1976 – forever etching themselves into motorsport history.
