Pedro Rodriguez help required
« on: March 03, 2007, 12:24:05 pm »
I'm looking to find a photo of pedro rodriguez racing in the rain for my father who remembers seeing this picture for sale at brands back in the late 60's early 70's time and regrets to this day never buying it. Trying to find somewhere to buy it for his birthday can find much online he seemed to think that it was just titled rodriguez in the rain.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Enzo,
Another good motor racing photo resource is The Klemantaski Collection at www.KlemColl.com  They have the entire archives of Klemantaski, Nigel Snowden, and several others available.  You can check through their race archives to see if they have the 1970 BOAC 1000KMs or 1971 Austria O-Ring 1000KM's (I know they do)  and ask them to send you by email a selection of Pedro pics to chose from.
Hope this helps, Fax
(ps, here's a nice Pedro pic I pulled off their site)

I'm also pretty sure I have some pics of this race as Mr T and I were both there although we weren't aware of this at the time.  But where to start looking....

http://www.sutton-images.com/

is another good place to search for images, search for BOAC 1000.

There is also a film from the race I posted on the YouTube thread, go back to page 12 or 13 and you can see Pedro (and the others) in action.

Ah yes, Sutton is another good one, well done Nordic.
I checked The Klemantaski Collection venue & date list and they've got 351 B&W and 14 color photos listed for the 1970 BOAC 1000KM's.
I'm pretty certain some of those are of Pedro ;D
