"The Big Six" 1957 Le Mans Film. Jaguar/Ferrari Content.
Discussion
Wonderful documentary "The Big Six" by Cave Bear Films about Hugh Langrishe's role as Time Keeper for Ecurie Ecosse at Le Mans 1957 and his friendship with winner Ron Flockhart (partnered with Ivor Bueb), as well as when the custodian of the 2nd place Number 15 car, Clive Beecham, reunited Ex Works/Ecurie Ecosse Jaguar D Type XKD 603, with Hugh.
What an amazing achievement it was that the Ex Works/Ecurie Ecosse D Types XKD 606 and XKD 603 were 1st and 2nd driven by Bueb/Flockhart and Lawrence/Sanderson with other Private Team D Types taking 3rd, 4th and 6th positions beating Ferrari's absolute finest 315S, 335S, 290MM and 250TR Works cars piloted by the world's best drivers, as well as the Aston Martins and Maseratis in the World's Greatest Race. All us Tifosi here will appreciate and respect how The Big Sixes of the "D" beat the Mighty Twelves.
Olivier Gendebien can be seen in 0704TR in the film as well as other great Ferraris.
