I wondered in the past how a Finnish driver had the very un-Finnish name Curt Lincoln. Were his parents from elsewhere?

Sad news, indeed.
During the many wars on the continent in the 1600's, Sweden/Finland hired many soldiers from Scotland and England. As a reward, these "roughnecks" got castles and land in Sweden.
They are still around, the Hamiltons, the Douglas's, Piper's, Armstrong's, Carnegie's etc.
I am sure the Lincoln's is one of them.

I note that he won the Angolan Grand Prix in 1959 driving a Cooper-Monaco.
Second was John Love in D Type Jaguar OKV3 and 3rd Michael Bond in an Aston Martin DB3S.
Great "mix" of nostalgic racing sports cars.
