Thank you Lorenzo, most pics are the first glimpse of color for me (even Hill in front of Vaccarella is a rare one)

As for the T51, the other possibility I could think of would be Natili, but we can't be sure

I momentarily considered Natili but I rapidly gave up the idea: if we are to suppose that he drove the same car than at Aintree (British Grand Prix) then at Brands Hatch (Guards Trophy), then during both events it wasn't fitted with a roll bar, while the Trintignant car had one. So I'll still go with the latter.

EDIT: After carefully examining the pictures, you are correct. If this would have been Trintignant, the upper part of the side panels would have been removed along with the engine cover, but not on a standard T51. So after all this shall be Natili.

I have this pic of Renato Pirocchi driving the car, apparently it is fitted with the roll bar for Monza

Thanks Pannie, so this really was Natili after all!

It is certain that when it comes to BRM at this race, the photographers seem to have used up their film with the new V8 car during practice, with nothing left for the Climax-powered cars used during the race!

24 - Graham Hill, BRM P48/57
