Rest and Be Thankful

Rest and be thankful hill climb was run from 1949 to 1969
as competition to the British Hill Climb Championship.
  Jackie Stewart raced a Ford 105E engined Marcos here in 1961.
He said: "it's a special place for me, the cradle of my life in
motor racing. I must say as a young American,
I was fascinated by the array of cars,
in particular the Cooper-Japs and Cooper-Norton.
these are some pictures from the June 1964 event.
The first is a Maserati Special driven by Lord Doune
of the Doune Motor Museum, note duel rear wheels.
The next is Mrs. Agnes Mickel in a Cooper.
