Story and photos by Graham Gauld<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the Archives, November 2011. This was Graham\u2019s second column for VeloceToday; his latest is featured in this week\u2019s edition as well. Furthermore, last week Jeff Allison\u2019 article <\/a>elicited some remembrances of the Maserati Tec-Mec. Here Gauld provides another perspective. <\/em><\/p>\n

I have been humbled by the response to the first column and only hope I can keep you entertained for a few more months. I think one of the problems is that each chance meeting or race meeting provides an opportunity to dig out even more stories to flesh out information we have on some of the odder pieces of motor sport history. They might otherwise disappear when boring old farts like me arrive at the eventual pit stop hopefully in the sky. <\/p>\n
