If today\u2019s Grand Prix drivers believe their job is tough, they should reflect on the grimy faces peering from our front cover – those of Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks after heroically battling their way to the first ever World Championship victory by British drivers in a British car \u2013 the Vanwall. In this issue we pay homage to the 60th anniversary of this milestone win at Aintree in 1957.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motoring Classics Summer 2017<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If today\u2019s Grand Prix drivers believe their job is tough, they should reflect on the grimy faces peering from our front cover – those of Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks after heroically battling their way to the first ever World Championship victory by British drivers in a British car \u2013 the Vanwall. In this issue we pay homage to the 60th anniversary of this milestone win at Aintree in 1957, and the other major achievements surrounding the Vanwall marque. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Sir Stirling Moss\u2019s story as arguably the best driver never to win the World Championship is well known, but that of his sister Pat who, like Stirling, was a skilled horse rider before becoming a champion driver, may well surprise a few of our readers \u2013 see page 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems the latest must-have accessory for some classic car owners is a matching caravan, so we take a look at this rapidly-expanding off-shoot of our hobby, and see who else is investing in these old mobile homes. The (not always) black cab is as iconic a sign of London as Big Ben and Buckingham Palace and in this issue we trace its history and learn how it\u2019s currently returning to its electrically-powered roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This edition\u2019s Missing Moniker is the rare Swallow Doretti \u2013 a fine British sports car that enjoyed a bright future until becoming the innocent victim of industrial politics. Our Dealer Spotlight column is this time devoted to the world\u2019s largest supplier of replacement parts for many favourite British classics \u2013 Moss Motors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read how it supports our pastime in many ways over and above its 30,000-strong inventory of spares. Lastly, if you\u2019re into historic racing make sure you read our piece about the new Equipe Classic Racing 3 Hour relay race, as we\u2019ve a hunch it\u2019s going to be a very popular addition to the competition calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
