[Lola5000]

Having just imported a pre-war MG 6 cylinder supercharged car from the UK.
Got me thinking about Otto Stone,his racing life,MG K3,Porsche spyder,work with Stan Jones ,his garage and latter life when he spent time with Mr Hunt and his cars (Maserati 300S and the Lago Talbot T26)
Photos?
History?

The Australian friend who sent me this pic says "listening to my father's conversations with motoring associates, three names were constantly mentioned in almost reverential terms - Charlie Dean, Phil Irving and Otto Stone."

If you think of all the men and whom they aided in motor racing then perhaps Brabham racing would not have been WC's in '66 and '67.
And Stan Jones his NZ GP,AGP and Gold Star might not have happened?
There is a great deal that can be added as my opening lines suggest.
The K3,Stan Jones,his business,John Sawyer,250F and his latter years working on the Hunt collection.
