Flywheel Bicester 3.7.16
Sir Stirling Moss poses for the many photographers in the adoring crowd whilst sitting on the front wheel of his Ferguson P99 4-wheel drive GP car. Note the brick strategically placed behind the rear wheel - the previous day he had been doing an interview sat on the front wheel of his 1961 Monaco GP-winning Lotus 18, which had caused him some discomfort when the car started to roll away. Commentator Alistair Douglas, standing in the background, had arranged for the rear wheel of the Lotus to be chocked on Sunday, but there was a slight moment of panic when Lady Susie decided that it would be nice if he sat on the Ferguson instead of the Lotus! Fortunately the brick was repositioned surreptitiously and all was well :-)
