I have had this photo in my archives for some time now and always felt ( and pretty sure ) that this old Donaldson poster was
based of this actual photo. The artist had to tweak the drawing a little ( bunch them up ) but it's a dead match for me!

Great picture @filmonger.
Really cool, but looks a little warm for racing!!!!!
Any idea what era, or who it is a photo of?

That last one of Robert is very cool - the detail is interesting.
