Book of the month

Model of the month

MULSANNE BLOWOUT REVISITED • Automotive sculptor Terry Ross has created another spectacular work inspired by a dramatic motorsport moment: the high-speed tyre blowout on the Mulsanne Straight that spoiled the chances of a 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans win for the Ferrari 250LM of Pierre Dumay and Gustave ‘Taf’ Gosselin. Ross vividly captures the drama that lost the privateer team five laps for rear bodywork repairs. The hand-painted, wall-mounted artwork measures 130 x 130cm and is limited to just six editions, £POA. 020 8778 3188; speed-still.com

Tested this month

Simon TAYLOR • ‘As we set off, my watches tell me I’ve made a terrible error. I shout into Stirling’s ear that we have 14 mins to do the next 16 miles’

Martin BUCKLEY • ‘I’m desperate to avoid The Shed being like those eccentric museums where you pay £5 to see a Minx then exit via a petting zoo’
