Jeff headed to Knockhill in May for the Scottish circuit’s 50th anniversary. Back in 1975, Chris Amon and his F5000 Talon opened the track. The scene was recreated with Stewart Robb’s Pilbeam MP88B hillclimb/sprint car.

Jeff Bloxham is relishing his 55th season as an accredited motor sport photographer, and has lost not one ounce of the schoolboy enthusiasm fed by the scenes that first fired him at Crystal Palace way back in 1965.

Still prolific, in the last month he has travelled north of the border for Knockhill’s 50th anniversary celebrations, has shot at a Donington triple-header – British GTs, British Touring Car Championship and the circuit’s Historic Festival – and also took in a trip to Wiltshire for the Guild of Motoring Writers’ Castle Combe track day.

One of the most familiar faces on the UK scene, he tells us he currently has no plans to retire. As if!

he also visited the Jim Clark Museum. Here’s the great man’s Golden Helmet trophy, presented by Esso for his 1965 F1 world title/Indy 500 double
