Le Mans "This photo, taken at the old Viewforth Coachworks, is of a Jaguar coming out of the paintshop. Ecurie Ecosse Racing Team was operated out of Merchiston Motors, a number of lock-up garages in Merchiston Mews, Edinburgh. I painted three D-Type Jaguars for Ecurie Ecosse at Viewforth Coachworks (Flag Metallic Blue with white markings. The team won First Place in 1956 and 1957 at Le Mans, quite a feat for a small back street garage in Edinburgh. This photo was taken by one of the workers about 1957.
