CUMBERLAND 1958

A very different time in racing - Formula III's provided great action and the new small bore British machines from Lotus and Elva were buzzing and winning. Corvettes were finally showing their V8 muscle and beating the 300SL's. A dozen Ferrari's everywhere but the Cunningham team was still dominant although challenged by Bill Sadler’s beautiful little special.
