One of my F1 heroes, his birthday was 11th Feb, so I'm 2 days too late with this. What a true great he was though.

I love the pix on the right end of the last full row. Surtees and his chief mechanic Arturo Magni in the background with an F2 Cooper & the front of a racing bike in the foreground.  :good:
