The Pavillion Gardens, Buxton.
Check out the August issue of Classic Cars. It features 7 pages on the
Siffert Lotus, and 10 more on the 49 in general. ("The car that changed
racing for ever.")
From this article I learned that a new book on the Lotus 49 - The Story of a
Legend, will be out in September. Written by Michael Oliver, 40 quid, ISBN
1901295516.

One faction said that the vehicles should be preserved for posterity, should
not be risked under any circumstances, that it was the act of a barbarian to
even think of committing these precious cars to a situation that could
damage them.
The opposing faction said (in effect) "What a load of crap! These things can
be REPAIRED!"
Having been involved with classic cars for the past 6 years I tend to side
with the latter group! I have seen vehicles recreated from rust flakes!
:o)
Anything can be fixed for a price, and those who own and run historic racing
cars are not short of a dollar or two!

You only have to read two contrasting journals to see the difference. The
magazine Vintage Motorsport (USA) devotes a lot of coverage to 'gentleman'
races, in which the drivers can be 'black flagged' for driving over the kerb
(too aggressive :-)). Then there is Autosport (UK), in which a terminal
prang for an historically significant car is recorded, but not commented
upon, assuming that so long as the chassis plate survives the impact all is
well. As so it is. A racing car is nothing if it does not race. Err... so
long as the bank balance holds out.
