dsl ◊ 2011-05-08 16:55	1953 Silverstone Production Touring Car Race, driven by Stirling Moss, 1st place. He also won the 1952 race in the same car (#4) and finished 3rd in 54, again in LWK 343, #1. And Mike Hawthorn won the 1955 race in this car. LWK 343 also entered in at least 3 Monte Carlo rallies (1952 #103, 1954 and 1956), and used in 1953 by Jaguar test driver Norman Dewis to gain a speed record (121.704mph) at Jabbeke in Belgium. Plate issued Nov-Dec 51. Despite all this success, the car seems to have disappeared to an unknown fate. -- Last edit: 2017-03-28 06:08:03
