The 65th anniversary of Ecurie Ecosse’s sensational debut win in the world’s most prestigious sports car endurance event, the Le Mans 24 hours race, takes place on Thursday [29th]. As the Glasgow Herald’s Special Correspondent reported from the venue at the time, “The greatest success in Scottish motor racing history was achieved today by Ecurie Ecosse who won the 24 hour race amid tremendous scenes of enthusiasm.” Co drivers Ron Flockhart from Edinburgh and Ninian Sanderson from Glasgow completed 2,521 miles at an average speed of 105 mph in their ‘D’ Type Jaguar, registration number MWS 301, at times reaching over 155mph down the Mulsanne straight. Although very different characters, Flockhart a charming gentlemanly type and Sanderson a wild rebellious sort fond of a prank, the pair combined effectively on this occasion.
