Ninian Sanderson

Ninian Sanderson, a car dealer from Glasgow, is best remembered for his success at Le Mans, with an Ecurie Ecosse Jaguar which he shared with Ron Flockhart,  in 1956, beating the Aston Martin of  Stirling Moss and Peter Collins but he was also a regular and fast Formula 3 driver both on circuits and hills. For 1952 and part of '53 he drove a Cooper then switched to a Staride for rest of 1953.
