Restoration a True 'Barn Find' of a Notable Car Is a Rare Thing These
Restoration A true 'barn find' of a notable car is a rare thing these days, Here we look at the re-discovery, by Neil Wakeling, of a Lotus Seven that was generally thought to be lost- the car that launched the racing career of Piers Courage. We begin the story with a bn.ef account of the car's famous first owner, how Neil came to acquire it and the plans for its restoration. Michael Calvert guides us through Neil's tale. RouTES INTO SEVEN OWNERSHIP can be as varied and diverse as the cars themselves, but the story of Neil Wakeling and his Lotus Seven S2 (registration oo 9149) is perhaps more unusual than most. Whether in photographs or in person, some Club members may have seen Neil drivi ng his car up the hill at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed or at other events such as the Goodwood Revival. This is a brief story of the car, of its famous first owner, of the vehicle's sad fall into disrepair and its recent restoration. 00 9149's first owner: Piers Courage, driving the fa mily Morris Minor Traveller Jonathan becoming good friends, supporting future Formula 1 driver around the ex-RA F base at Chalgrove (when each other in their racing aspirations.

Ferrari's Anniversary Celebrations Get Underway With
Ferrari’s Anniversary Celebrations get underway With re-enactment of 125 S driving through the Maranello gates Maranello (Italy), 10 March 2017 – On March 12 1947, Enzo Ferrari fired up the 125 S, the first car to bear his name. That test-drive on the streets of Maranello marked the start of modern Ferrari history. The then-modest factory quickly grew into one of the great internationally-renowned Made in Italy icons. Now, exactly 70 years later, on March 12 2017, Ferrari launches its official celebrations for this milestone anniversary. To coincide with the official start of the celebrations and to commemorate the events of 70 years ago, Ferrari is also releasing a special video featuring a re- enactment of the first 12-cylinder to sport the Cavallino Rampante on its bonnet, the 125 S, driving through the factory gates on Via Abetone Inferiore and, in doing so, symbolically passing the baton of the Ferrari legacy to the LaFerrari Aperta. 125 S, the first Ferrari This was the first car to sport the Ferrari badge. Its 12-cylinder engine, vital to powerful performance, was designed by Gioacchino Colombo with Giuseppe Busso and Luigi Bazzi also contributing to the project. On March 12 1947, the 125 S, still an unbodied steel rolling chassis, roared to life for the first time and the great Ferrari adventure began. Two months later, on May 11 1947, the car made its track debut at the Piacenza Circuit. At the wheel of the 125 S (the S referring to its sports car-type bodywork) was Franco Cortese. -
The Domingo's – Racing Around Prejudice
The Domingo’s – Racing around Prejudice Greg Mills POSITIONED ATOP THE KILLARNEY CLUBHOUSE IN THE EARLY 1970s, I remember clearly the comment of one smirking safari-suited individual as Des Ally blasted his ex-works Chev ‘CanAm’ into the lead down the back-straight. In those days, before enclosed bars and eating areas, we used to run across the second-floor of the Clubhouse every lap to watch the cars shoot under the bridge and brake for Hoal’s Hoek (sadly renamed in the 1980s after some transient sponsor) and then we would dash over to the other side to view them up the short-straight into the Malmesbury Sweep before they headed off at a rate of knots down to the banked BP corner. ‘See what happens when you give a black man power?’ Mr Safari exclaimed, at least half, I prefer to believe, in jest about the coloured driver’s obvious speed. Ally was among the pioneers of removing prejudice from the sport if not from individuals. But the honour of being the first to do so should go to the Domingo family. They were the first F1 drivers ‘of colour’, to invoke modern parlance, way before Lewis Hamilton or even the US star Willy T Ribbs. Family patriarch Solly Domingo had been a car enthusiast since the 1930s, participating in races in the 1950s at Grand Central, according to eldest son Joe. Joe, interviewed in 2008 when 68, is one of four Domingo brothers who took up the sport in the 1960s and 1970s – along with twins Mike and Alan, born in 1946, and youngest son Yunus. -

The GTA, with the A standing for Alleggerita, or lightweight in Italian, was introduced in 1965 and was the official competition version of the Giulia Sprint GT. Produced in both road and race variants, the GTA went on to become an iconic sixties touring car. The race version was handled by Autodelta, the factory competition department which was run by Carlo Chiti and Ludovico Chizzola, who have been responsible for some of Alfa Romeo’s greatest racing cars.
