bit of a photo fit I think.
I'm guessing they are all racecar drivers/owners and it is era appropriate with the cars shown.
But I'm going out on a limb here knowing I'll be 100% wrong.
1st one reminds me of Paul Newman.
I know the 2nd/6th but cannot think of his name **** Got it, Henri Pescarolo.
Guessing 4th is Enzo
5th Steve McQueen except for the nose, looks more French.
7th is a gimmie, Jacky Ickx
3 no idea
8 no idea
Please say I got one right.
Cheers Grant

I think the first photo is Phil Hill, and the third could be Ettore Bugatti.
Otherwise I'd guess the same as Ze Gas, and I don't know the eighth either.

Is the last one Eugenio Dragoni?
1st one... Wolfgang ('Taffy') von Trips with the Ferrari 156 because didn't Phil Hill have dark hair?
Life is like a box of Slot cars...

Very nice cars - and the figures really bring them to life

I've done it twice in the last couple of weeks. First time wasn't so bad - the car cost me less than £15. ......But I already had one the same.
Second time it cost me £55 for a car I already have multiple versions of, and didn't really want or need.
Best regards,
Stuart.

I'm a bit of a 60s Le Mans geek - especially French cars - and remembered LMM made a figure of him.
The Scalextric Alpine model was a curve-ball - not sure Deutsch had anything to do with the actual car, apart from maybe inspiring the aerodynamics?

Yup - he has minor input into the aerodynamics - I did have a model of the later cars that he was heavily involved with
