Two years ago, Alex Thornton from Pit Lane Spares Ltd purchased Hamilton’s car from that competition after tracking it for a number of years, and thanks to help from Nick Edginton Racing, it has undergone what he describes as a “labour of love” restoration back to track condition.
The Manor machine had not been driven on the track since Hamilton last drove the car in his title winning season but, after more than 20 years, it hit the tarmac once again for a test in May.
We had some logistical issues about getting the car into the building, so it will be displayed outside the building.”
You can see Hamilton’s car on the forecourt outside St Andrew & St George Church in Stevenage between 11am and 3pm on Saturday, August 3.
The Stevenage on Wheels exhibition is at Stevenage Museum until August 31. Entry is free.
The museum is open from 10am until 4.30pm from Wednesday to Friday, and from 10am to 5pm on Saturdays.
