1963 Tour of Britain Milk Race

Credit: Official Programme, Cycling 2-May-1963 and History of the Tour of Britain by Peter A Clifford (1967)

Here is a brief summary of the 1963 race. If anyone can lend, sell or scan me some more info then that would be a big help

Start List - Italy withdrew and were replaced at short notice by The Regions team but their race numbers were not shown in Cycling. Reserves were substituted for the published list up to the start - any definitive lists available?
