Phil Henny
Phil was born in 1943, in the village of Montagny près d’Yverdon in the French-speaking region of Switzerland. Phil Henny has devoted his life to his passion for racing. After an apprenticeship as a precision mechanic at the famous Paillard-Bolex camera company in Yverdon, Phil started in 1964 by converting Swiss driver Maurice Caillet’s E Type Jaguar to compete in the F.I.A. World Manufacturers Championship. A year later he joined French Formula One driver Bernard Collomb and toured Europe as his personal mechanic with his Formula 2-Lotus 35.
