Hello, those footages are exceptional. For historical research purposes, I would wish to see/purchase a higher definition of the pre-race footage. The aim is to be able to extract snapshots which would allow to observe some car details. That might help solving questions about the history of the Alfa 6C3000CMs. Since I see here a reference to Mr. Burrell's son, maybe there's a way to have a contact with the owner/holder of the film or a digital HD version? Thanks alot in advance, and many thanks for sharing this treasure.
