CJM08-GH :
Equipe Endeavour MKII - Goodwood 1961
Classic
Jaguar Miniatures have made this Jaguar MKII model of Tommy
Sopwith's Equipe Endeavour Team, driven by Graham Hill at
Goodwood in 1961. The Sopwith MKII's were always ordered
from Jaguar Cars in Indigo Blue with a Red interior, and
Silver painted wire wheels. All Tommy's cars had the number
400 in the registration plate which was his lucky number,
this model is JAG 400 which was the sister car to VCD 400.
The cars could be told apart during the race by the plain
White stripe around the radiator grille of JAG 400, whilst
VCD 400 had a checked stripe design. Graham Hill drove this
Equipe Endeavour MKII Jaguar for the 1961 season along with
Mike Parkes in the sister car, the Goodwood race was a wet
race and Hill finished a close second to Parkes.
The model has been researched to be accurate against the car
that raced that day in 1961 at Goodwood, it has the correct
re-rooted racing exhaust, BRDC badge in front of the
radiator grille, correct bungee strap to secure the bonnet,
left and right handed wire wheel spinners, front bucket
seats, internal starter solenoid and the front and rear
bumper over-riders removed.
If you have any further questions
about this model, I will gladly answer you cut7jag@talktalk.net
Thank you.
