David: Thank you, that’s interesting. I certainly hadn’t been aware of any Stirling Moss connection. Pilsworth and Jopp both drove Elva-BMCs in FJ in 1959, so I guess thay could have been in the same team – there was certainly a connection later on, as they shared an Alan Fraser-entered Sunbeam Rapier in the Motor 6 hour race at Brands Hatch in 1962 and the Sunbeam Alpine that Pilsworth drove in the 1962 Tourist Trophy was the one driven earlier that year at Le Mans by Jopp and Hopkirk.
I’m intrigued by the Stirling Moss connection – can anyone throw any light?
