After our first full year, the MOCpages Classic Race Teams group has successfully recreated several racing outfits from the incredible, and deadly, '50-'70s era.

The following archive photos represent some of our teams at or near completion. All credit is due to the builders of the vehicles; please click the accompanying link underneath each picture for more information.



Alan Mann Racing, owned by MortalSwordsman and featuring several of MOCpages best car builders. The team ran a second-hand Fiat Bartoletti Twin Axel transporter, crammed full of red and yellow Ford racing cars.

Captured in their heyday, the above photograph shows Team Lotus when they were at the peak of F1 racing, before their gradual decline and ultimate withdrawal from the sport.

Porsche were as heavily involved in racing during the '50s, '60s and '70s as they are today. The rare archive photo below shot by DeTomaso Pantera gives a glimpse into the back of their huge Mercedes Renntransporter. The Salzburg Porsche team includes such builders as Senator Chinchilla and Dohoon Kim.





Ecurie Ecosse raced a variety of sports and GT cars against the manufacturers from Britain and Italy, with great success. They also used one of the most iconic racing transporters of all time, the incredible Commer 3-cylinder built in 1959. A rare archive photo from Nick Barrett shows their truck unloading one of the team's famous Jaguar D-Type racing cars.





Porsche make up a large proportion of the group, and Martini International were one of the most famous teams running their cars. Malte Dorowski submitted this photo taken in the paddock during the 1970s, showing one of the team's VW parts vans in attendance to a 1970s Porsche 935/78.



Finally Jon Treasure has recovered this photograph showing Scuderia Ferrari in the 1960s, with their Fiat Bartoletti truck and two race cars engineered by Thomas Graafland.
