So THAT'S what happened to the Roswell evidence....been in storage at Goodwood since 1947

But Andy - Alan Whicker. Brilliant! Hahaha!! (sorry Pete...)

That's exactly who sprang to mind for me!!

It's an ex Rob Walker car, (as in, white stripe across the front) and you know who his favoured driver was?
That's what I was getting at.

Alan Whicker?, there's never "too many" of those?

I would like to add to Peter's post by extending a massive thanks to Tom and Clive, the owner of the two historically important Ferraris, for what turned out to be an opportunity of a lifetime. From Tom's original post I would have been content to be shown around the cars and perhaps be given some history that isn't written up on Google. However due to the owners incredible generosity and Tom's time my wife and I each had several passenger laps of the Goodwood circuit on Sunday afternoon in the ex-Sir Stirling Moss Les Mans Ferrari 250 SWB. Made all the more special given it's the 75th anniversary of Ferrari this year.
If anyone is planning to go to the Revival next year I suggest you get in touch with Tom as I know he will be only too pleased to show you the car's.
Thank you again Tom
Kind regards Steve and Annalisa

Wow.

The 250 SWB is pretty much my ultimate car. Much better looking than the 250 GTO.

I'm jealous.....

Wasn't the owner interviewed on the grid, some discussion about there being 2 very similar looking 250 SWBs in terms of colour, No. 7 etc. and the way to distinguish them was that this one didn't have the chrome quarter bumpers on and the other (Ross Brawn's?) has them?

First Ferrari I ever went in was a 1963 250GTO around Aintree Race Circuit for 20 minutes (as a passenger) with the owner using the full track, lots of drifting and opposite lock and cone clipping. Unforgettable!

You were lucky Guy, I am very envious, all I ever got to do was a slow Dumper Truck ride around it whilst it was being built by Tarmac in the early 60's for whom I was working for, doing some setting out as a Junior Civil (very) Engineer. !!!
