Yeah, I remember Damon Hill driving his Dad's '63 GTO in the 1998 TT Trophy at Goodwood. He tip toed around the circuit in the £6m car, well it might as well been wrapped in cotton wool. The following year Surtees drove it and it didn't matter how much it was worth or who made the car famous, he just drove it "The only speed he knew how".
