Phil Remington, Shelby's aide-de-camp during the Cobra wars, vehemently claimed that Miles had been killed, as did Shelby driver Bob Bondurant.
He is English by identity and has a place with English nationality.
Beebe's idea is presented as a nasty move to undercut Miles.
Did Miles really speak with that slight Birmingham accent? Shelby had plenty of spare Goodyears, it was up to the drivers if they wanted to change.
Miles was informed by Shelby that he would have to share the win with McLaren and would have to drop 10 seconds a lap in order to allow him to catch up.
Ken Miles 1st November 1918 - 17th August 1966 was a British sports car racer and engineer driver.
