Oh, and speaking of Ellie Beinhorn-Rosemeyer earlier...
In this video at about 5:00, she and Hans Stuck Sr are briefly seen/heard reminiscing about the Auto Unions at some post-war point. Stuck is then interviewed and dubbed over but you can clearly hear him underneath. Ellie is then interviewed later at about the 10:50 mark.
Also at 21:55 is a dubbed interview with Rudi Hasse, but again you can clearly hear him underneath the dubbed voice.
Update here - in this video, you can hear the (somewhat surprising) voice of Alfonso de Portago. I say somewhat surprising as despite his name and him being a member of the Spanish Aristocracy, he was born in London and spent a lot of time in the UK. Quite why there isn't a book about the guy is a mystery to me: he rode in the Grand National a few times, came 4th in the 1956 Winter Olympics team bobsleigh event and was a Ferrari F1 driver!
Sounds like a slightly Americanised version of Prince Charles! I heard a lot of this in the Ferrari: Race to Immortality documentary, during which there is also a reasonably long radio clip of Peter Collins.

Dude! He sounds practically native! I never expected Portago to be completely fluent in English like that, excellent find. And you know, you have hit two birds with one stone with this post. The guy from 1:09 is Hermano da Silva Ramos, one of the final remaining Grand Prix drivers of the 1950s still alive.
Ah, excellent! Nice double find, then. Racing to Immortality was pretty sobering in that five of the drivers that Ferrari fielded for the 1957 Argentine Grand Prix were dead within two years, de Portago of course being one of them.
An excellent contribution - thanks Jacob! Hadn't heard von Trips or Ricardo Rodriguez before. The Clark interview is quite haunting in a way...
... has anyone managed to find clips for Nuvolari or Varzi? I am expecting the latter might be quite difficult, but surprised I have not been able to find Nuvolari yet despite quite a few searches!

For what I know only 1 very short clip of Nuvolari speaking has survived to this day. It is a very short statement he made after his victory in the 1933 Tourist Trophy, I don't think it can be found on the web...
