I bought a set of red 15" wheels on eBay from a chap in Norfolk a year or two ago... Far from just chucking them in the boot of my car, he invited me into his home and took real interest in the Silverstone. I didn't know anything about John's history. He was very keen to explain how he'd measured and improved the stiffness in the front end of the seven chsssis and also how the gearing of the steering could be improved. I only wish I'd had more time to talk with him. On the topic of the long steering arm, John suggested I try shortening the arm on the steering box for a similar effect... I'm still considering how to do this safely...
Only now, reading the interviews and obituaries do I realise just who that quiet unassuming gentlemen was.
Rest in peace John.
