As you can see the car has the number 1 on it for the national champion (Rutherford). Ironically in 1965 McCluskey had the 1 on the other car in the picture (H&H Machine Tool Spl.) and broke his arm in the first race at Reading. So two years in a row the champion broke their arm/arms,Rutherford broke both of his.
