• This example has been owned by Derek Bell since the mid 1980s, and was garaged until five years ago when it was regularly used by then 9 year old Sebastian Bell. In 2010 Sebastian was invited to participate in the Little Big Mans race at Le Mans Classic weekend. Derek decided to check the car out by Sebastian doing a lap of Goodwood 2.4 miles round because Le Mans is a long way to go to break down! If it would last that long then it was perfect for the kilometre they would run at Le Mans. All was well and the invitation to Le Mans was accepted. At the start a flag dropped and there was a patter of tiny feet as the pint-sized drivers ran across the track and leapt into their cars as in former years! 85 cars lined up in echelon to be driven by children up to age 14. The French authorities called it a "parade" but it was evident that to the children that word could be translated into "RACE!".
  Sebastian Bell driving the Jules Porsche 936 started 75th but had raced into the lead under the Dunlop Bridge! A few tips from dad perhaps? As they poured down into Dunlop curves some officials stepped out to turn them onto the Bugatti circuit and then to slow down! All in all the 2010 Little Big Mans was a wonderful piece of fun for the junior drivers, the parents and the crowd!
  
  Derek Bell MBE..."Such a memory to think that I won at Le Mans in the Jules 936 in 1981 with Jackie Ickx and I finished 3rd with older son Justin in Harrods McLaren in 1995 and there we were watching young Sebastian driving a model of that winning car on the same track, albeit somewhat slower".
