We show an impression of the Norbury Trophy Race for touring cars, won by Salvadori in the E-Type Jaguar. The big race of the day was the London Trophy Race for Formula One cars. Driving a Cooper Climax, Salvadori went on to win in superb style at an average speed of eighty-two and a half miles an hour. SHOTLIST: GV cars. Cars on starting grid. Norbury trophy race start.
