If you’re ever pootling about the Scottish Borders, pay a visit to the Jim Clark museum in Duns. They’ve got a Lotus 38, as well as his Jaguar D-Type and his Mk1 Lotus Cortina. All iconic cars - the Jag especially seeing as it was designed and built in the 1950s is stupendous. Also masses of his trophies, a great display about his life and plenty of audio visual material to keep a fan happy for hours. The greatest ever racing driver. My opinion but also the opinion of luminaries such as Juan Fangio and Ayrton Senna.

Driving test says 1935 on google? Only reason I knew that was my Dad once told me he didn’t have to take one, but could drive anything, but only had to take one when he changed his driving license to be able to ride motorbikes only, for some bizzare reason. For some reason the year stuck in my mind, because he’d been driving everything for years until then.
