Roy Salvadori won the 1958 Gold Cup in the only race of the day, September 20, and it was, as has already been stated set for Sports Cars. Salvo drove a Lotus 15 that started on the third row and managed to take the lead on lap 4 overtaking Ivor Bueb at Esso (no Shell those days!). Bueb hung on to 2nd with Bruce Halford third. Both of the latter two drove Lister-Jags. Salvo told me last year that he considers this to be a 'Gold Cup win'!
For more OP info' see my book on the first 50 years of racing at the place - info' to be requested via PM please - not many left though so hurry! - or visit the Marshals stand at the Autosport show this weekend.
