At the moment I am researching a paticular colour of a 340 America that raced at Le Mans in 1951, race number 18. Later that year it also raced at Dundrod.
Now I have gone through some history books that write about Le Mans, but they do not mention the colours of the cars. I have also watched some footage from 1951 including the Le Mans race and see its sister cars, but not no. 18 itself and it seems that (of course) the car I am looking for did have a different colour than all its sister cars. However, I have not found a photograph showing it amongst the other cars.
So does anyone know where or to which archive I should turn to or does anyone have a good race report from back in the day that happens to mention the colours of the cars?
