Just thought I would point out that The Stevens car was first 356 home in Grid 3.

My Pace prepared 356 driven in race by Mike Bell/ Joe Allenby Brown ,neither who had driven a 356 before came 9th overall and won handicap in Grid 2

The cars did 5 30's which was was considerably quicker than any other 356's at the meeting.

The car won handicap and Spirit of Meeting award and I have a fancy Le Mans Richard Mille watch.

Thought I would point this out as not many of the glossy mags seem to have noticed.

That sounds like a great result. And a nice watch to boot.

Enjoyed the racing at Le Mans once again.
