It appears that Carroll Shelby ran a Mitter Formula Junior in the 1960 Vanderbilt Cup. Wondering if there are photos of the car ?
Thanks, Chuck

There is a photo in the 2008 Art Evans book Shelby, the Race Driver, p166, Shows Shelby and the Mitter before the race. Copyright and all of that stops me from copying it here.
I just looked up the results for that Vanderbilt Cup formula Junior race and it had an interesting entry including Pedro and Riccardo Rodriguez, Jim Hall, Walt Hansgen, Charlie Kolb, Roger Ward, Jim Rathman, Ray Heppenstall, and Lorenzo Bandini. The race was run in two heats and it seems that Shelby finished 7th in heat one and retired in the second.

Yes my friend sent me a photo from goodwood. It looks like the Mitters I've seen. I would very much like to see a photo of the engine in that car if it would be possible?
Thanks, Chuck
