Stan Jones in the 250F leads Len Lukey in a Cooper Climax T45 as they jump over the railway crossing at Longford during the 1959 Australian Grand Prix.

Jones had never won the AGP with any of his Maybachs, and with time starting to run out for his heavily-campaigned Maserati 250F, he finally wins the race in 1959 on the fast, open-road, 4.5 mile Longford circuit.

Stan Jones is the father of 1980 F1 World Champion, Alan Jones.
