Comments:-

I had a very enjoyable race with Ian Nuttal in the OSCA of Stirling Moss up to lap 14 when I managed to do a 180' coming out of druids but fortunately I was able to recover quickly and did not loose to much time.

Towards the end of the race I started to catch the DB3 belonging to Martin Melling and managed to get with with 1 sec of him at the chequered flag, the only problem as I was a lap down.

It was a pleasure to meet Sir Stirling Moss and it was very kind of him to sign my copy of the results sheet when I know he was much in demand throughout the day.
