In Response To: Re: Graham Hill Autavia ()

Hi Arno,
thank you very much for the info - these little details are very hard to see in the old pictures.
as an austrian i am naturally interested in the origins of Jochen Rindt's Autavia. it seems that
it has it's first appereance in the 1966 Frankenheimer movie Grand Prix - do you have any infos
about the history of Jochen's Autavia?
best wishes
Tino

: Hi Tino,

: it is really hard hard to say on the Graham Hill picture, we could
: have a look in the BBC film.

: Andrew many thanks for actually discovering the image in the first
: place and posting it.

: The Derek Bell the photo was shot prior the availability of the
: viceroys.
: It was an MH bezel version and to my knowledge given to Derek Bell
: during stunt filming in Le Mans, think it was the watch to have,
: first automatic chronograph with some cool racing straps...
: Derek Bell has lost his watch unfortunately.

: Best regards to vienna
