Lawrence Watts quite beautiful cutaway drawing of the 1957/8 Vanwall Grand Prix car…
Simply superb, as is Max Millar’s effort on the car, and Vic Berris’ work on the engine.
I wrote a feature a while back on the Thinwall Specials, Vanwall Special and the Vanwalls, click here to read it; https://primotipo.com/2014/09/05/vanwall-cars-and-the-moroccan-grand-prix-1958/
Do take the effort as that piece is my feature this week!
Over the last ten days i have converted my 1500 word ‘whacky-dacky’ which started as a short piece on the 1958 Moroccan GP and then morphed over time into a ‘quickie’ on the Vanwalls into a 10,000 word feature with a crazy 80 or so photographs.
So check it out even if you read the old version a while back.
Mechanical specifications of the 2.5 litre, DOHC, two valve, fuel injected, four cylinder spaceframe machine- winner of the 1958, and first, F1 Constructors Championship are as per the text in the feature article.
