    Le Rapt De Fangio À Cuba, Comme Le Raconta Maurice Trintignant

    Le rapt de Fangio à Cuba, comme le raconta Maurice Trintignant Par Michel Porcheron On est à « La Cave du Pétoulet », rue Emile-Jamais à Nîmes, un jour de mars 1958. Il y a là quelques clients fidèles, surtout des ménagères qui font leurs courses avant le repas de midi. Un fort mistral souffle ce matin-là, « La Cave du Pétoulet » est d’autant plus accueillante. « Pétoulet » c’est le surnom de Maurice Trintignant (1917-2005, Nîmes), coureur (ou pilote) automobile fameux, heureux vigneron, spécialisé plutôt dans le rosé, tiré de ses 45 hectares, au Mas d’Arnaud, entre Vergèze et Vauvert, dans la campagne gardoise. Depuis 1930 Maurice est l’oncle de Jean-Louis. Trintignant est rentré de La Havane où il a participé au 2E Grand Prix de Cuba (24 coureurs) le lundi 24 février, au volant de la Maserati de… Fangio, empêché. Et pour cause, le quintuple champion du monde de Formule 1, vainqueur du 1 er GP de Cuba l’année précédente, a été enlevé la veille, dimanche, par un groupe de rebelles cubains du Mouvement castriste du 26 Juillet. Fidel Castro, Raul, le Che, Camilo Cienfuegos et leurs hommes (combien ? peu) sont quelque part dans la Sierra Maestra. Fangio L’Argentin Juan Manuel Fangio (1911-1995) sera « retenu patriotiquement » quelque 26 heures. Si le compte est bon, le groupe était formé de quelque 26 hommes et femmes (7) ça ne s’invente pas. Ce matin de fin mars 1958, « Pétoulet » raconte pour l’assistance du jour. Le journaliste parisien Georges Pagnoud n’est pas là par hasard.

Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

    ! The Ex - Sir Stirling Moss, Bib Stillwell - ‘Coil Sprung’ 1959 Cooper T49 ‘Monaco’ Chassis Number: 20 • Commissioned new by Sir Stirling Moss in 1959 where he qualified the car on the front row of the grid for the 1959 British Grand Prix Sports Car Race at Aintree and went on to win at Karlskoga in Sweden and the Roskilde Ring in Denmark. • Recipient of a decorated racing history with Bib Stillwell in Australia. • Surely the ultimate ’50s Sports Racing Car with its coil sprung rear suspension and the desirable 5-speed gearbox, making it arguably more competitive than the standard Monaco. • Beautifully restored back to its 1959 specification by Simon Hadfield Motorsport and driven to a continuous string of victories, including the BRDC ‘50s Sportscar Championship and British Grand Prix support race, by then owner Frank Sytner. • Maintained with no expense spared by Pearsons Engineering throughout its current ownership and accompanied by an extensive history file, including period photographs from both Moss’ and Stilwell’s ownership, as well as more contemporary historic racing and a comprehensive collection of invoices for work both during Frank Sytner’s ownership and the current owners time. • With new FIA HTPs in the coil sprung, 5 speed format, this is your chance to get onto any of the ‘50s Sportscar grids whether it the Stirling Moss Trophy or prestigious Goodwood Revival.

    Hand Built Classic Cars from Norfolk, England A S Motorsport Ltd The ASM DBR Le Mans Photo Courtesy of P. Gunnar Recreating the glory with a Modern Icon INFORMATION AND SPECIFICATION www.asmotorsport.co.uk History of the DBR1 & DBR2 After acquiring Aston Martin in 1947, David Brown set his sights on victory at Le Mans. This goal was to be achieved in 1959 by the team of three DBR1’s. The triumphant DBR1/2 was driven by Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori. Maurice Trintignant and Paul Frere, in DBR1/4 finished in runner-up spot, and Sir Stirling Moss & Jack Fairman retired in their influential DBR1/3. The epic battle between Moss and the Ferrari’s in the early stages of the race caused the fragile Ferrari’s to become overstressed, and one by one, they retired. Thus Moss, in his sacrificial DBR1, cleared the way for Shelby and Salvadori to claim the chequered flag and give success to David Brown and Aston Martin in the 24 hour race. With other excellent race performances, including victory for the third year running, at Nurburgring and the Goodwood TT, Aston Martin would also secure the overall Sportscar World Title that year. Having achieved the double of Le Mans and the World Sportscar Championship, David Brown then announced the decision to concentrate their racing involvement in single seater car race series, with Formula One their main focus. Therefore the total production of DBR1’s numbered only five. The DBR2’s were prototypes constructed on a pair of backbone chassis that were left from the short lived 1955 Lagonda V12 race car project.
