What would it take to get a high resolution copy of that Bridgehampton photo?

Duryea Hillclimb is in Reading PA. I used to correspond with a guy that ran a TVR.
Duryea Hillclimb – The Blue Mountain Region SCCA hosts the longest hill in the PHA series. Named for the obscure automobile maker and following the same route that Charles Duryea used to test his cars. This is a 2.3 mile hill located above beautiful city park in downtown Reading, PA. With a history dating back to 1951..

Which Bridgehampton photo? I have hundreds....Send me a PM with the subject car or driver and I will look at the quality of the scans and get back to you.
This one and any others showing the #14 silver Allard in 1950. In 1952 it was #9, raced by Paul O'Shea, and painted white with dark blue fenders.
Thanks! Ed

I guess there’s a few of us on here that either served (914 driver) or worked on them as I did, 03 Panther is another. I worked on a number of them at new construction including Providence and Pittsburgh. I was very fortunate to get selected to ride sea trials on Pittsburg, still some of the most memorable 6 days I’ve ever had. She was decommissioned early last year after 34 years in service. I believe she was the first US submarine to fire a shot in anger since WW 2 by launching a cruise missile from one of the VLS tubes in the first Gulf War.
