There is a movie "Made by Hand", filmed in 1960, unfortunately several months before my 356's Sep 1960 birthdate so I doubt my car is in the movie. It's on You Tube in 5 parts, part 1 here:

It's also linked easier perhaps within the 356 Rennlist Forum.

Nice writeup--These cars are evolved so Clarkson may not see that given most UK marques struggle in that area ( an i love old british cars ). The best cars IMO are those that are evolved over time and the 911 set that bar-current ones also F150, BMW 3 series etc and all rule their classes.
Thanks for this-next we should drive the nurnburgring!!

Hey, Gregg. You're on. Yesterday was just invited to give a lecture in Switzerland next June. Maybe climb the Matterhorn Nordwand, and then meet up to drive the Nurburgring?

I'm in - we can discuss on Sunday. I love the idea and can plan that.
I have on old friend in the Bavarian Franken region who is a mechanic with Ford Panhuis racing that may be able to help.
