What a freaky little guy. I am sure he is very popular in the prison shower room.

I always wondered if you look inside the roof on the driver's side, can you see where it was repaired after they cut the hole in it at Sebring in 1964? I remember being a little kid and watching coverage of that race with my dad on Wide World of Sports. I remember they were complaining about the heat in the car and lack of ventilation, so the mechanics in the pits stabbed a tinsnip through the roof and cut a semi-circular hole and peeled it up for a vent. When I think about watchig that race, I remember that car being red. I know now it was blue and the funny thing is we had a black & white TV, so I wouldn't have been able to see what color it was anyway.
Check it out. Skip ahead to 4:15 for the action.

Too bad, Phil could've used that vent for his 'fro:



Thanks for the video link, I love watching the '60s sports car races. If you like vintage Sebring stuff, "Nigel Smuckatelli's" Flickr account is a must see: https://www.flickr.com/photos/smuckatelli/

Unfortunately, Sebring '64 wasn't so great for Paddy Hopkirk and Team Healey:

Nice do. What a freak.

Thanks for the link to the Smuckatelli photos. There some great stuff there, and I wasted the last hour looking through it. It's OK. It raining outside again.
