International Racing Car Show

 Ed McDonough

Over 64,000 members of the public and 26,000 trade visitors packed the halls of the NEC for the annual Racing Car Show, held January 12–14 in Birmingham, England. Historic racing interests were given a higher priority than in previous years with a huge area set aside for a display representing “100 Years of Grand Prix Racing,” presented by Tom Wheatcroft’s Donington Collection. Twenty-two racecars from the Donington Collection and a number of other privately owned Grand Prix machines made this the show’s strongest attraction. Famous cars included Tazio Nuvolari’s Maserati 8CM (pictured above) and the Lotus 18/21 Climax in which Stirling Moss won the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix.

 This event also marked the official unveiling of Lola’s “continuation” T70 MkIIIB (pictured below), the fabulous coupe of the late 1960s. There was considerable interest in the new car and orders were taken for the first small batch to be produced.
