Notes:
XKC 051, the winner of the 1953 Le Mans. When the car won it was a
member of the Jaguar team and was British Racing Green. Later that
year it was sold to Ecurie Ecosse, who campaigned the car for the
next few years in their team's blue. It was then purchased by Ross
Hamilton, one of the drivers in the '53 Le Mans. It is still in the
family.
Many thanks to my good friend, Mike Hanson, who traded a lunch at
Cuban Breeze for enough of his custom mix Ecurie Ecosse blue for
this little guy. |
