Race footage from 1961 Sebring Grand Prix?

[Series3Scott]

Does anyone know of a source where you can purchase actual race footage of the 1961 race? Clearly I'm interested in footage showing the 3 factory Alpines.

To follow up on this, does anyone have a copy of the UK film "The Green Helmet" which shows actual footage from the 1961 race?

The Green Helmet - Race

Hi Scott:
I am not sure of the Green Helmet but I have a DVD that covers the 1961/1962 24Hr race. Is this what you are looking for?
I can get some information for you, you may still be able to find the DVD on the web.

If it shows the three works Alpines then yes I'd be very interested in more information - thanks!

Yes, it talks about the rootes cars and the thermal win (Peter Haper/Peter Procter). It is not in great detail but they show the cars in the pits etc.
You will have to give me some time to dig through all of my sunbeam stuff to find it. If you dont hear back from me in the next two week give me a kick by posting a private/club message or email me.
Regards,
Andrew Masse

61/62 Alpine Race

Hi Scott:
I have not found the race that I was looking for but I found a couple of old clips off of a TV program that Speed TV put on a few years ago.
I will keep looking, as soon as I find more information I will contact you.
Regards,
Andrew
