"This
photo, taken at the old Viewforth Coachworks, is of a Jaguar coming out of
the paintshop.
Ecurie Ecosse Racing Team
was operated out of Merchiston Motors, a number of lock-up garages in
Merchiston Mews, Edinburgh.
I painted three
D-Type Jaguars for Ecurie Ecosse at Viewforth
Coachworks (Flag Metallic Blue with white markings.
The team won First
Place in 1956 and 1957 at Le Mans, quite a feat for a small back street
garage in Edinburgh.
This photo was taken by one
of the workers about 1957.
