Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

2,465cc Coventry Climax 4 cylinder, dual Weber 58DCOE carbs, 5 speed, 4 wheel drive, independent suspension, Dunlop disc brakes. Driven by Stirling Moss to win the rainy September 1961 Oulton Park Grand Prix, the only GP win by a 4 wheel drive car. Later won the British hillclimb championship in 1964 with Peter Westbury. Long term displayed at Donington. Restored for the Ferguson Family Museum retaining its origil bodywork and paint. Reportedly ready to race and, after the Maserati 250F, Mosss favorite GP car. Genuinely fabulous with the gigantic 58 DCOE Webers denoting its purpose. Attractive pati and like new aside from some later gauges. A fabulous piece of history.

Market commentary

One of the legends of F1 history back before ingenuity, imagition and creativity were trumped by Bernies notion of the show and creativity crushing cost containment rules. Historic F1 racers shy away from wet race tracks but if they didnt this would be a winner on damp tracks and a regular peoples choice in the paddock. Its worth at least this much.
