Ivor Bueb

I took this photograph at the Daily Herald International Trophy meeting at Oulton Park in August 1956.

It's Ivor Bueb who drove an Ecurie Demi-Litre 1,098cc Cooper T39 Climax in the race. He started his racing career in 1953 with a 500cc Cooper Formula 3 car and graduated into sports car racing where he succeeded in winning the Le Mans 24 Hour race twice, both times in a Jaguar D-Type - in a works car with Mike Hawthorn in 1955 and sharing an Ecurie Ecosse car with Ron Flockhart in 1957. He participated in six Grand Prix races but scored no Championship points, and sadly died in a crash at a Formula 2 race at Clermont-Ferrand in 1959 when driving a BRP Cooper Borgward.
