Scotsman Jim Clark won the 1965 Indianapolis 500 with a rear-mounted Ford V-8 engine, but his car and his crew belonged to the United Kingdom's Team Lotus. Mechanic Graham Clode brought two sets of coveralls to the race -- one to get dirty and one to keep clean for the much-wanted victory photo. This is Clode's clean set.
