Raymond Baxter OBE (1922-2006) was better known as a television personality and journalist, and was the first presenter of BBC’s Tomorrow World (1965-1977). He was also a RAF pilot and extremely accomplished rally driver and competed in the Le Mans 24-Hour race, and in the Monte Carlo Rally at least a dozen times. In the 1960 event, depicted in this work by Terence Cuneo, Baxter and Harper came fourth against the triple victory of the Mercedes-Benz team in the 220SE.
