These vintage race films are great!
Interesting bits:
For the FE guys the Galaxies competing in England is a rare sight (pick-up @ 6.25 min.), unfortunately (for Ford) in this event of Brands Hatch Six Hour Race the little 3.8L Jaguar MKII's showed the way, as it seemed the Ford defenders just couldn't cope with getting their feet (tyres) wet; this demonstrated by the big number '1' Galaxie going round twice in the event with driver Dan Gurney as co-driven with Jack Brabham (both photographed), and finishing several laps down to the Jaguars!
And, (starting at about 12.50 min.) also rare views of the Jaguar factory lightweight E-Types, particularly the number '1', registration number '4 WPD' and appears to be Graham Hill as presented with the collar of roses. But I'm not sure which event this is? .....anybody (I'm lazy, save me the research effort of looking it up!)?
Perhaps this should be posted on the FE Forum (at least the section relevant), though the race out come might not be completely appreciated, the historical views should be; and after all, the humility of defeat by the little six cylinder Jags won't hurt that badly! Though........... as viewed (@ 7.33 min.) it looks a though the Jaguar is attempting to push even the fastest Galaxie off the mark out of the way! But then, the FE guys can always point out in their defense that the number '6' car was disqualified, as upon technical inspection it was found to have not legal inlet valves installed, oh my! But unfortunately, the other Jags that were ahead didn't get disqualified.
Scott.
UPDATE:
I answered my own question, as I believe the race with the Competition Jaguars (aka. Lightweights) and Graham Hill being victorious was the Daily Express Silverstone event.
And it wasn't even a close race to victory for the Jaguar;.........if anybody cares?
