At the sharp end of the grid you’ll find the likes of the Lotus 18, Cooper T53 and Brabham P48, while front-engined cars are represented by stone cold classics including the Ferrari 246 Dino – the last front engined car to win a Formula 1 race – and several Maserati 250Fs. 

Qualifying had been a very close affair with just six seconds separating the top ten. Will Nuthall started on pole aboard his Cooper T53 ‘Lowline’, but second-place man Miles Griffiths wasn’t going to let him have things his own way. Despite the front-engined disadvantage of his Lotus 16, he made a move to take the lead until Nuthall clawed the place back. On lap ten, Griffiths’ retirement meant Nuthall had things his own way and finished 38 seconds clear of the field after a ten-second penalty for Andrew Willis (Brabham P48) had been taken into account.

Willis also had clear air around him for second place, and third was claimed by Andrew Beaumont with his Lotus 18. Racing further down the order was much closer, with 15 seconds covering positions four to eight.
