Maybe this will be a surprise, too... I'll throw the name Evan Green into this ring. Though I never saw him, he was apparently absolute dynamite in short events in the Cooper S days.
Later he drove the Land Crabs in the first Marathon, the Triumphs in the London-Mexico and then was dominating the London-Munich in the lumbering P76 till the road ran out in the desert and 85% of the field got lost. Even so, he set fastest time on the Targa section and passed 11 cars up one snowbound hill near the finish.
