And he once was stuck in a blizzard, when it slid off the country road, was stranded overnight, and with a girlfriend to keep him warm, managed to get through the night. He then proposed to her and they got married that September  http://www.woolfe.com/ex-john-woolfe-racing-transporter-sells-for-980000/

    It would seem that John Woolfe Racing is still in existence - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Woolfe There is an interesting connection between John and Le Mans which is probably worth a story.

    I guess that is his Chevron B-12 on the transporter. Note also his Gordon-Keeble in the foreground.
