Isn’t that John SURTEES? He certainly rode and raced Vinnies.

@AdieP We have a winner

[DCS222]

And what a career he had too…

John Surtees

[Dawsy]

A proper gentleman too!

[NealH]

John Surtees - the only person to ever win the Grand Prix motorcycle world championship and the Grand Prix car world championship. And the only person ever likely to.

Indeed an absolute legend

I thought King Kenny invented the gaffer tape knee slider but apparently not!

[Oldskool]

It was never gonna be James Adie then…

[Octoberon]

If you need a clue, he’s still got the same hairstyle but it’s gone grey. Good luck!

[DCS222]

[Octoberon]

All excellent guesses, gentlemen. I applaud your efforts.
