Comment date 2015/09/16 Simon Moore: Motoring’s Sherlock Holmes Story ran March 2009 My father, Art Stump, had a bit of involvement with the Alfa at Indianapolis after the war. He also worked on other Alfas throughout his Career. After his death, I cleaned out his shop and discovered a box of pistons (that I recall him telling me about) that are marked Alfa. Wonder if they’d be of use to some one in the Alfa world? I have photos ready to go if any interest.
Thank you. Al Stump stump918@gmail.com

Yes George Stecher did the driving scenes for Darren’s character Casey Owens. These scenes were originally driven by my father (Dave MacDonald) but after his death in the ’64 Indy 500 George was called in to reshoot them. Citing sensitivity concerns Universal also removed all but one of my father’s speaking parts in the movie. Rmac

Many thanks! Just a couple of comments:– At the Spanish GP, the last one of ’54 season, Lancia came with two iconic D50 (chassis nº 0001 and 0002), for Ascari and Villoresi respect.: they were fast but fragile and both retired early. There is a Castellotti biography titled “Un cuore rubato”, writen in Italian language, by noted historian Cesare de Agostini. Manel Baró
