    Nope, can't place it. My eyes are getting worse as i age though. Maybe one of the younger guys can see it.

    250GTO, not sure which #.

    I would guess: England, due to the vehicles in the back and the well dressed gents, could be Silverstone paddock. I lived there 3 years and it does look like it is but then again it could be Snetterton, Goodwood.

    Looks like louvers on the hood. Could this be the light green one that was part of the GTO reunion this year?

    Post your pic in the Vintage section, "More old photos" thread and you will have a better chance of identifying your car. If you scroll through that thread you will see what I mean.

    RHD so UK location - wonder if it's S/N 3729 GT? that was originally white. Cooper on trailer in background. Nevertheless, one of the best of the Ferrari models.

    The Vintage guys can likely supply the S/N, and maybe who was driving that day.
    As for location, UK? Isn't that a white '58 Chevy Belair in the background, just over the drivers door?
    Are you asking if the car has value, or the picture?

    No, it's definitely an early 60s British Ford, though I can't remember the model designation.

    Pic is probably of some (not huge) value. I dont recognise it from any of the plentiful Ferrari books. You might check with Carol Roush, Ferrari Market Letter.

    Nope, not a Chevy. If the pic was taken in the states during this era, it could have been a Mercury Monclair with that distinctive rear window. But, this pic looks like it was taken in the UK somewhere. Look at the lorries, all British, the Mini Cooper on the trailer, the forward-tipped open bonnets look to be e-type Jags.

    The subject of photo is the 250 GTO. Because it is RHD, does not necessarily mean the pic was taken in the UK, but the other clues certainly make it look so.

    Nice picture.

    Hi guys
    The car is a British Ford Consul Classic. The venue looks like Silverstone, as per answers in the vintage 'old photos' thread.
    As for the value of the photo? It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay. On ebay it would usually go for between $10-25 IMHO.
