BONHAMS & BROOKS HISTORIC FESTIVAL at SILVERSTONE,
27th AUGUST 2001
(Day Three).
Day Three at the Festival dawned blisteringly hot. A complete contrast to the day before.
Still, when have you known Silverstone to have two consecutive days the same??

On the left is Simon Bull's Tyrrell P34 as driven by Martin Stretton. This picture was taken on the warm-up lap, after which there was a huge accident at the start which left something like five cars damaged. The worst of which was the P34.
On the right is the Gurney Eagle of Ben Liebert. The car didn't fare much better, as Ben retired it at the end of the first racing lap.

This car was making an un-scheduled appearance at the Festival.
We heard on Saturday that Ken Tyrrell had finally succumbed to his cancer earlier that morning.
Jackie Stewart was due to appear at the Festival on Monday anyway, so the 003 was hastily collected from the Donington Collection and prepped overnight for him to take it out one last time in tribute to his former team owner.

Thank you Ken, for all the memories.
