The one on the right is definately a young Steve McQueen ?
The other one looks familiar & though i know its not, looks very much like Jeremy Clarkson :wink:

The one on the left is the famous auto designer, Carroll Shelby. McQueen on the right already answered Pete :cheers:

PS: I believe Shelby just passed away quite recently.

Well done. Posted the question as a lead-in for my recommendation of the BBC documentary on Carol Shelby vs Ferrari. The title is "The Cobra Ferrari Wars" I found it on a bittorent site.

The Cobra won the GT class. I hope they do a part 2 where Ford put Shelby in charge of the GT-40 competition program after their dismal first year of competition. Ferrari fans probably thought it couldn't happen again, but:
