Didn't Jackie test the Detomaso F1 at Silverstone briefly?

Jackie likely had more dealings with Detomaso giving more reason than a corporate push from F***?

Terrific thread in any case and look forward to anything else you can find.

Thank you for sending!

Mike, where do you find this incredible stuff?

>>>I wish I could take credit for it, but stuff like this literally drops into my lap, from a single source--a Spanish guy, friend of Charlie McCall's, named David.   He is one of the biggest fanatics of car design and history you'll ever meet, but he has no car of any interest himself.   But he spends his life poring through old magazines and books, unearthing treasures every day, and when he finds something of interest to us, he sends it to us.


>>So, let me get this straight...G. Bertocchi, one of the architects of the Maserati 250F, factory Detomaso test driver and development engineer delivers a Pantera to Jackie Stewart, 3 time F1 champ?

>>>Yes.   I always believed that Jackie was driving one as a 'company car', and that it was Ford's idea to have him seen in it.   But that was pure speculation on my part.   I suppose it is possible that he simply liked the car and bought one for himself?


>>Talk about great marque heritage...

>>>I do have a few other related articles from David, all in Italian.   I'm working on getting those translated too. :>)
