There are many, many heroes in the world of motorsport. It takes some real mettle to stand proud of them, but someone who can claim just that is John Surtees CBE, the only man to win world championships both in cars and on bikes. We could fill the rest of our allocated portion of the internet with his other achievements, but rest assured he"s a bona fide legend. He sadly passed away last year, and the car you see here is one of the wondrous things he left behind. It"s a BMW 507 Roadster, already a staggeringly pretty car not short of reasons to buy it. But this one has a certain John Surtees as its one owner from new". And its story is every bit as wonderful as you"d expect.
