Sorry Geoff. You know that car and its history better than anyone so I disagree with trepidation, but I still don’t see Wiscombe in that photo.
In 1960 the finish was at the start of the Castle Straight, and the only corner similar to the one in the photo is Sawbench, and that doesn’t look like Sawbench to me. At Sawbench the ground inside the hairpin falls away, it doesn’t have a hillock there. And whilst the trees have grown up a lot it was always woody.
I guess the 750 Bulletin had a miscaption
This is Sawbench corner at Wiscombe in 1960
