New Work – Reinfried Marass Photography
Healey Silverstone race car model year 1949. Serial number D47 was a works sports car racer driven by Duncan Hamilton.
There were only 105 Healey Silverstones built and in the Healey Silverstone shown Duncan Hamilton won the 1950 International Daily Express Race for production cars at Silverstone, the track the car was named after. But Duncan Hamilton was best known for winning the Le Mans 24-Hour Endurance Race in 1953, driving a ‘C-Type Jaguar’, in conjunction with his partner and close friend Tony Rolt. They were fourth on their first drive there in 1950 in a Healey, and sixth the following year.
Duncan Hamilton was a tall man and couldn’t fit into the cockpit so Donald Healey cut the body behind the driver’s seat to accommodate him. Those modifications are visible yet today.
Neither Pat Moss nor Jeanne Mortimer at hand, the classic car dealer’s wife was quickly misused to add a female touch and a slice of life to the Healey Silverstone.

The 56′ Crown Vic is finally done!
After taking way to long on this one. (It was a free-be and didn’t have a deadline.) I finally finished “Bunny’s 56‘” This was another do it how you want it thing and to be honest, I wasn’t sure what to do to it. He already had a bunch of stuff on it like “Dummie spots” and such so I decided to remove things instead of add them. The only really big change was the roof line and the grill. Other than that it worked out cool I think.
Bambina
A commission for my Boss!!
quite a change for me from racers, hard to get the enthusiasm going but…
This was quite hard to do in coloured pencils. Layer upon layer of reds, pinks, etc..
Might look at some sort of background , maybe the name Bambina… but for now its pretty well done.
