Ferrari's Tribute To Britain
The Italian racing' car manufacturer, Signor Enzo Ferrari, recently praised the British engineering firms for the support which they have given international car racing.
He said: “If we at Ferrari have come second in the sports car championships (behind Aston Martin), and second in the drivers’ championship (behind Brabham, in a Cooper) it is thanks to the British suppliers of metals, fuel, lubricating oils, tyres, disc brakes, and brake linings: It was Mr Vandervell (maker of the Vanwall) who made it possible for us to race at all, by providing special bearings unobtainable elsewhere.”
His praise coincided with the opening in London of the first Racing Car Show, at which the world champion Cooper Climax, pictured above, was the star attraction.
