Profile
A prosperous farmer and wool merchant, "Phi Phi" was another of the over-50s gang who lined up on the grid at Silverstone in 1950 for the first-ever World Championship round. It was a different world back then.
Famed for his back-to-front cloth cap, he had starred for Bugatti in the 1930s and had won the Le Mans 24 Hours for Alfa Romeo in 1934, with Luigi Chinetti. The following year he was injured in an accident when his car overturned. He raced an aged Lago-Talbot in 1950, yet still scored two fifth place finishes, before retiring from the World Championship in 1952.
