The photo of the JCB race brings back great memories as also in the photo I think is my brothers 450S Maserati. This was a sensational car in a straight line, Neil Corner on one test day refused to complete a full lap on the grounds that it was undriveable. (so the story goes). There was a 2nd 450S in the UK but the two cars were only ever on the track together once. I stood on the pit wall that day watching Charlie Lucas sliding the tail of #4509 out onto the Woodcote grass lap after lap, -that would have been quality driving in a normal car but in that one it was beyond comprehension! I believe both cars are back in the States which is where they went to new in 1958.
