Exactly 70 years ago this weekend the Vincent factory set eight world speed endurance records at the banked Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry, just south of Paris. Philip Vincent recorded the events on his camera.
John Surtees – later world champion on 2 & 4 wheels – was chosen to be one of the riders for the record runs when an apprentice at Vincents.
Full story on the record runs, including John Surtees’ last full interview, in @speed_is_expensive. Announcements coming soon…
