A big V8, a brave driver and the relatively fast roads of the opening stretches (IIRC) could well have meant a high placing in the early stages...
Thanks for the pics, Roger, and the other info, everyone else...
Does it really seem logical he 'broke' a brake drum? I know this used to happen periodically with Ford drums as fitted to 1940-46 models, but I wouldn't have thought this likely of a mid-fifties product with that knowledge behind the Ford engineers?
I'm fairly sure the drums were Lincoln... I'm 1200km from my magazines at the moment, but I think that's what I read.
