That's the spirit Davo!
Another photo of the McLaren Bellett has surfaced....this time it's a press release of the car just after it had arrived at John Sprinzel's Lancaster Mews workshop in readiness for prepping for the track.
Here's the text that was released with the shot....

"Mar. 03, 1965 - Sleek - Fast..And Made In Japan New Saloon For Racing At Goodwood: The new 1500 c.c.

Here's a couple more, my old Dutch mate Dick found these on Facebook.
This one shows Mac coming down the start/finish straight before the rain sets in.

And the second has got to be one of the best, showing the man himself with Mie Okazaki in the pit road in pre-race testing.

Great shot, I think you'll agree.
