CONTENTS INCLUDE:
Grand premio Historico do Porto - The Editor
Motor racing had begun at the Boavista circuit in 1931 and continued on and off until 1960. It was at Boavista in 1953 that Le Mans-winner Duncan Hamilton had his famous shunt with a pylon, putting out the town's electricity! It was also the circuit where Mike Hawthorn clinched the 1958 World Championship. For 2005 the organisers had invested some 4,000,000 Euro in the event, attracting 375 cars, classic and modern, to the centre of the Port wine industry.
The Editor, having lived in the country for years, describes a race-meeting that encompassed Pre-War cars such as Roger Saul's Alfa Romeo P3, and later classic GT and single-seaters.
Lancia Aurelia Spyder - Anthony Hussey
Lancia afficionado Hussey describes the 50th Birthday Party of the delightful open two-seater of the 1950s, of which just 240 examples were built. The event was held in the Belgian city of Bruges and the author manages some fast touring, a lightning tour of the city - and the 'inevitable' visit to a brewery.
The Alfred Dunhill Tour Part II - Mike Jackson
Jackson completes his view 'from the footrests' of his loaned 1962 650cc BSA Rocket Gold Star as the inaugural 2005 Alfred Dunhill Tour wends its elegant way from Arras to the British Embassy at the rue de Faubourg St-Honoré in Paris.
A Legend to Le Mans - Robert Heelis
A regular contributing Connoisseur, Heelis describes his son Toby's exploits in the family 1939 Talbot Lago T150C at this year's 'Le Mans Legend' historic race that supports the main Vingt Quatre Heures du Mans.
