Yesterdays Heroes

[Redex R]

In case you haven't seen the thread on Pistonheads - Yesterdays Heroes , there was a Memorial service for Mike Hawthorn last Sunday , I only decided to go last minute and wasn't quite expecting all these old Motors , the green Mk2 is a replica of Mikes famous one. Stirling Moss also attended and how often do you get to see Damon Hill fishtailing up Farnham high street in a D type ?!!

Heres some photo's

Thanks for sharing :)

I'd really like to make it a point to take more of an active interest in classic events over the next few years.

RIP Mike Hawthorn.

i agree Ben, classic le mans is an option as it the goodwood revival...
plus there are loads of events up and down the country.

maybe we need to chat to bruce, after all he's got a classic Alvis already.

Now's there's a good thought. Classic racing: the Lola Aston T70 is running in this years AMOC series. F*cking awesome and the only real one owned by NYer James Freeman . . . Also the owner of the famous DB4GT 17TVX. Go see!
