Silverstone Museum continues to expand its incredible and iconic collections on display and announced the arrival of John Surtees’ vehicles, which are wowing visitors.
The museum recently revealed the arrival of three iconic vehicles from the storied career of motorsport legend, John Surtees. These machines – the MV Agusta 500cc, Triumph Tiger T70 and Surtees TS 7/01 – represent key moments in Surtees’ unparalleled journey across two and four-wheeled racing, cementing his place in history as the only person to win world championships in both 500cc motorcycling and Formula One.
The amazing collection, on display at the museum into the Spring of 2025, offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the remarkable career of one of motorsport’s most accomplished figures. The collection highlights include:
- MV Agusta 500cc (1960) – The bike that carried John Surtees to his fourth and final 500cc World Championship in 1960. A dominant force in motorcycling, Surtees won world titles in 1956, 1958, 1959 and 1960, with the 1958 and 1959 seasons seeing him achieve the incredible feat of winning every race in the championship, including at the treacherous Isle of Man TT. This victory in 1960 marked the end of Surtees’ motorcycle racing career as he turned his focus to Formula One, where he would go on to achieve even greater heights.
- Triumph Tiger T70 – The Triumph Tiger T70 represents the start of John Surtees’ racing journey. In 1950, at just 16 years old, Surtees made his road racing debut at Brands Hatch on a Triumph T70 that he had modified himself. His talent and determination soon saw him rise through the ranks of motorcycling, setting the stage for his later success in both two and four-wheeled racing.
- Surtees TS 7/01 (1970) – The first car designed and built by Team Surtees, powered by the legendary Cosworth DFV engine. Launched midway through the 1970 Formula 1 season, the TS 7/01 made an immediate impact, scoring points at the Canadian Grand Prix for John Surtees and the U.S. Grand Prix for Derek Bell.
