Gorgeous, excellent andgle and detail. About a '58? And is that toilet paper on the shift lever just in case the driver really frightens himself?

Stuart,
It says 1961 in the programme but I too thought it would have been older than that. Rally drivers often have toilet rolls fitted to their cars!

Shame the cover is missing from the head-fairing.
Here is an action shot, very messy background, difficult to avoid at this location.

But the TR is so beautiful that the background is no more than that.

Wasn't it Enzo Ferrari who said " Road holding is for those who can't get enough power from their engines " directed , I think at Colin Chapman.

Very amuisng quote I've not read before. Enzo would approve of the combination of his and Chapman's approaches melding in many of Ferrari's recent creations, such as the 430.
