7766 PH is the number ex Taurus 'team' racer Phil Wicks wears on his bonnet, he raced the original Taurus (970) car at Nurburgring etc in period. There was a real timewarp ex Downton race car at Mid Ohio aswell , which hopefully will get an airing on here soon, yet another great discovery with tons of original Downton paperwork with it and a famous owner!

Made a Tamiya model of 7766PH and need to get 1/24 sponsor transfers to replicate my CCC t car tribute.
Taurus is one of those slipped under the mat tuning firms but I have a poor 649 cam in a scruffy Riverside Taurus box

Big thanks to Andrew Ritter at Stance Works for that article and the many excellent photos!

Here is one of my favorite pictures:

The Huffaker Mini makes #52 look really tall!

Phil Wicks put in a stunning drive, and his wife Noreen expertly sung both the Canadian and American Anthems!
