Salvadori is such a gentleman. I have had the pleasure of meeting him a number of times. He has a quiet sense of humour, and is very down to earth. He smiled wryly both times that he talked about Shelby - I (and someone I was with) got the feeling that he liked Shelby and considered him a friend, but also took him with a grain of salt.

The whole '59 LeMans victory would not have happend without John Wyers leadership. It was his plan to have Moss sprint and break the Ferraris. Wyer was also the guy behind the Gulf GT40s that won in '68/69.

Great stuff - thanks for the post!
