Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Six Hours in the Rain. DESCRIPTION: Brands Hatch and the International Six Hours. Would the Jaguars beat the Ford Galaxies. Thirty six starters in a six hour battle, with the weather the biggest challenge of the lot. The Big Galaxies can reach 180, but those dicey corners must have been a handful. Peter Linders’ Jaguar, No 7, was to finish third. Salvadori was second while number six, the Salmon-Sutcliffe car was to lead their 1 - 2 - 3 victory. In spite of subsequent disqualification of the leading Jag, it was still a British Car triumph. A Ford Cortina moved up to third place. SHOTLIST: Key scene. MS Jaguar (No 8).
