a good crowd to watch.
The Prescott Speed Hill
Climb reported in this issue had a lot of reserve
drivers on the entry list and a really interesting line
up of cars. I met a fan there who had travelled over
from Eastern Europe. He was thrilled with the
action. They have car events in his country, but
they are static displays. He was very impressed
with the enthusiasm with which the cars were
being driven at Prescott. Although the cars are
worth a lot of money and in many cases are very
rare, their owners still drive them on the limit, and
long may they do so! It is one thing to see a
vintage car, but it is quite another to see it at speed,
how it was meant to be seen. They may be pieces
of automotive art work, but they were designed to
be driven, and at VSCC meetings that is just what
happens.
Historic racing and Rallying in the UK is a
thriving scene. If you haven’t been to a historic
race meeting you really don’t know what you are
missing, so make the effort and attend. You won’t
be disappointed

Stirling Moss at Chelsea AutoLegends
Sunday 4th September will see the biggest
car show yet at the Royal Hospital London.
Now in it’s 2nd year, the show will feature
special displays to celebrate the 50th
anniversary of the Jaguar E-Type and also
the Mini Cooper, along with a central
display of Le Mans racers. There will also
be a cavalcade of super cars and classic
bikes. To help celebrate the swinging
sixties, members of the public are
encouraged to dig out suitable clothing to
recreate the groovy days of Chelsea’s
Kings Road.
The Le Mans exhibit aims to trace the
history of the great race from the Bentleys
in the 1920’s right through to the modern prototypes like the current Aston Martin
and Peugeot’s. The Supercars are having a run through central London during the
morning, starting at Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall and should arrive at
Chelsea around midday. The Classic bikes are also riding in, starting their run at
the Ace Cafe on the North Circular road.
As well as Sir Stirling Moss attending, motorcycle World Champion Phil Read MBE
will also be making an appearance, along with rallying heros Paddy Hopkirk and
Russell Brookes and Le Mans winner Richard Attwood
The event helps to raise funds for the resident Chelsea Pensioners. Gates open at
10am and will close at 4pm. For more information please check out the event web

SMITH TO DEFEND MSC F5000 TITLE IN NEW CAR
Evergreen New Zealand racing
veteran Ken Smith will defend his
MSC New Zealand F5000
Tasman Cup Revival Series title
this season behind the wheel of a
new car, an ex Danny Ongais
Lola T332.
Since his move to the series in
2007, Smith - who turned 70
earlier this month and who has
won the annual trans-Tasman
MSC series for the past three
years - has been driving a Lola
T430.
It was in an earlier model T332
Photo credit: Fast Company/Alex Mitchell
Lola that the three-time New
Zealand Grand Prix winner enjoyed much of his success in the category first time around
(in the 1970s) however, and he has had an eye out for a good one since his return.
Word of such a car reached him 18 months ago and he and long-time crew members
Barry Miller and Phil Richardson bought it from the widow of its original owner soon after.
"The 332 was the best of the 5000s and this one's been in a museum in Los Angeles for
31 years, " says Smith. "It was an Interscope car which Danny Ongais drove. It was
absolutely original when we bought it, as if it had just finished its last race." Despite that
Miller, Richardson and Smith have spent the past year stripping and completely rebuilding
the car with the intention of having it ready for the 2011/2012 MSC series.
This season's series kicks off at Christchurch's big Wigram Revival meeting at Ruapuna
Park's Powerbuilt Tools Raceway on the first weekend of November with subsequent
rounds at Manfeild, Hampton Downs, Powerbuilt Tools Raceway again, and Phillip Island
in Australia. Last season Smith won the MSC title for a third year in a row having fought a
season-long battle with top local driver Steve Ross (McRae GM1) from Dunedin, and
visitors Jay Esterer from Canada (McRae GM1) and Michael Lyons (Lola T400) from Great
Britain. All three are expected back - for some of the rounds in the case of Esterer and
Lyons anyway - with Smith particularly looking forward to taking on the visitors in a lighter
car.
"Don't get me wrong, " he says," the 430's a great old girl but the McRaes are a good
150kgs lighter and Jay's in particularly has always been wickedly quick off the corners. I
don't think we'll be able to get the 332 quite down to their level but it'll definitely be closer
than the 430."
Though entries are yet to open for the two 2011 events (in Christchurch and Feilding)
indications are that there will be over 20 locally-based cars on the grid. That number will
then be supplemented at the 2012 meetings at Hampton Downs, Powerbuilt Tools
Raceway and Phillip Island by almost as many cars again from across the Tasman and/or
the UK and the US/Canada.
The MSC F5000 Tasman Cup Revival Series is organised and run with the support of
sponsors MSC, NZ Express Transport, Bonney's Specialized Bulk Transport, Mobil
Lubricants, Pacifica, Smith & Davies, Avon Tyres and Exide.

Martin Hines King of the Karts
22/4/1948 - 28/8/2011
Martin Hines, Karting super star has passed away at the age of 64 after losing his
battle with cancer. Martin had been the driving force behind the Karting scene for
many years, winning numerous titles and setting up the very successful Zip Kart
business with his father in 1964.
Zip Kart has become one of the most respected names worldwide in karting and they
pioneered the Superkart which was later known as Formula E. Martin also helped to
introduce Karting to the USA, Australia, South Africa and Europe.
He had been a member of the RAC Technical Sporting Committee on Karting for the
last 18 years and worked with the FIA/CIK on a couple of working groups relating to
Karting sporting and technical matters.
During his karting career, Martin won the Karting World Championship 3 times in
1983, 1991 and 1992. He won 5 European titles in 1969, 1977, 1986, 1993 and 2002
and 6 British titles in 1976, 1978, 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987. This established him
as the most successful Kart racer in history.
He has also helped many young drivers in the early stages of their careers including
former World champion Lewis Hamilton and Grand Prix winner David Coulthard.
Lotus VI
Barry Davison has just purchased a Lotus VI registration number PGP 182. Barry
is already a well known racer of historic Lotus sports cars. The Lotus VI was the
first production car introduced by Colin Chapman in 1952. Chassis number 34
was sold to Peter Kirwan-Taylor on January 1st 1955 which he built up from day
one clothed in a streamlined aluminium body from Williams and Pritchard. The
car was so pretty that Colin Chapman commissioned Kirwan-Taylor to style the
Elite which went on to become a huge design (if not commercial) success. The
car was subsequently re bodied but the original streamlined body body still exists
in Belgium. Barry and the body's owner are currently trying to wrest the salient
parts from each other in order to eventually re-unite them.

GT Cup Snetterton 26th June‫‏‬
By Mick Herring
© Mick Herring
A beautiful summer's day was the perfect setting for the two exciting GT Cup
Championship races that would be unfolded by the sixteen cars assembled here.
The heat at the Snetterton track in it's full 300 format would prove challenging and the
track still new to some of our racers today.
Qualifying the previous day had an excitement all of it's own when championship leader
Andy Ruhan suffered a puncture right at the start of the session.
In his absence Gary Eastwood held pole for both races until the final few moments saw
Ruhan re-emerge with new tyres to claim race 1 pole on his final lap.
Race 1
As the cars left the grid at the start of
Sunday morning's race Ruhan's
Porsche got clear of Eastwood's
Ferrari, with third placed David
Tomlin's Ferrari looking for a way up
the inside of Ruhan at the first
corner, Riches.
A nearly-missed gear change here
saw him slip back towards Tom
Andrew's Morgan but holding the
inside line saved the place until the
Pete Morris
3rd overall, 1st group 2
Montreal hairpin.
Under braking for the hairpin saw the two engage in wheel banging and a spin for
Tomlin.
Some of the
following cars
weren't so
fortunate as they
took avoiding
action and the
damage
sustained by
Lap 1 Palmer corner.

Leon Price's Ferrari
and Colin Broster's
Porsche meant that
neither would finish this
lap.
By half distance the
recovering Tomlin had
caught Gary Eastwood,
who was struggling
with worn out tyres as
a result of having to
David Tomlin 2nd
hastily fit a set that had
seen service at Brands Hatch, when one of his intended race 1 set was found to
have a holed casing, too late to be renewed.
Under pressure from Tomlin, Gary made a spectacular exit from second place into
the cornfield at Riches when his tyres gave up.
The race settled down in the run to the flag until fuel pressure issues saw the
Morgan relinquish it's third place to GT Cup returnee Pete Morris' Porsche 996 GT3,
Morris would also
take the Group 2 win.
Race 2
The grid for race two
would see an all
Ferrari front row with
David Tomlin
alongside pole-man
Gary Eastwood.
Race 1 winner Andy
Ruhan shared row
two with Peter
Bamford's Ferrari
430.
Mark Radcliffe into retirement.
Repairs to Leon
Price's Ferrari between races allowed him to take his place on row three alongside
Tom Andrew's Morgan(Group 2 pole position).
Even with this second race always scheduled to start at 17.00hrs, little heat had
gone out of the sun and several drivers were complaining of the high cockpit
temperatures they
were suffering.
Gary Eastwood
controlled the
pace to the rolling
start well but his
move towards the
right hand side of
the track as they
approached the
line left a huge

and inviting
gap for Ruhan
in the centre
enabling him
to pull ahead
on the drag
down to
Riches with
Eastwood just
inside.
Ruhan pulled
ahead by the
end of the first
lap with
Eastwood
right behind,
several lengths ahead of Tomlin, Bamford and Andrew's Morgan.
An unfortunate spin at Murrays by the diminutive Chevron of Andy Yool saw two of the
orange BMWs tag each other heavily, Michael Symons braked heavily in avoidance
with his car suffering heavy rear damage but able to carry on whilst team-mate Mark
Radcliffe was not so lucky and with heavy frontal damage causing his retirement on
the first lap.
Positions continued to be traded as the race progressed with Andy Ruhan still well
ahead of the closing Gary Eastwood
but the drama of this race was still to
be witnessed.
At the start of lap 10, with around 4
minutes left on the clock, Ruhan
sensed that he had a puncture and
before the completion of the lap Gary
Eastwood had caught and overhauled
him for the lead, however, only a
couple of corners later the red flags
were out.
Paul Winter's Porsche, which had so
ably been taken to third place in race

1 by Pete Chambers, had clashed
with the similar Porsche of Francis Galashan with serious race-stopping damage to
both, fortunately without harm to either driver.
With so little race time left,
a result was declared and
on count back to the
previous complete lap,
Andy Ruhan was thus the
winner (of both races) with
Gary Eastwood second
and Peter Bamford third.

Ramblings from
Rugby
by Pete Austin
Six wheels are go….
March 2-4-0
An Indianapolis car called the
Pat Clancy Special appeared in
1948/9 and Mercedes had the
concept for their Type 80 record
car although this was interrupted
by the war. Four wheels on the
same axle appeared on ERA hill
climb cars and Paul Jaye still races
his Alta. Ferrari even tried it with the
T6.
By far the most successful car with
six ‘in line’ wheels was the Tyrrell P34
which appeared in 1976 with Goodyear tyres mounted on four small
wheels at the front. The covers came
off at the launch to surprised journalists who couldn’t believe their eyes.
Despite not being enamoured with
the car Jody Scheckter went on to
win that years Swedish Grand Prix
Jody Scheckter - Tyrrell P34 - 1976
with Patrick Depailler second and a
number of other podium finishes were achieved. Ronnie Peterson replaced Scheckter in 1977 but due to lack of development at the ‘front end’ no more victories with
this car were achieved. With Goodyear concentrating on developing tyres for the
‘conventional’ four wheel cars and designer Derek Gardner leaving towards the end
of the season the end was in sight for the P34.

As the editor mentioned last
month, the so called March 2-40 six wheeled racing car made
its first racing appearance during the recent Silverstone Classic. Originally built in the 1970s
this wasn’t the first ‘six wheeler’.
© Pete Austin
Jeremy Smith - March 2-4-0
© Pete Austin
Known by the railway engine terminology ‘2-4-0’ March displayed their 6 wheeler in
December 1976. Based on the March 761, this time the 4 similar sized wheels
were at the back. The idea was to get better traction from four driven wheels and
reduced drag with all of the wheels being the same size. Despite being tested by
Howden Ganley the car never raced and the conventional (and less expensive)
771 was used instead. It was popular as an exhibit though and Scalextric even
made a scale model of it. That wasn’t the end of the story though as hill climb
champion Roy Lane grafted the back end on to a March 771 for the 1979 season.
Williams were next up in 1981 with the Patrick Head inspired FW07D. Like the
March there were 4 smaller in line driven wheels at the rear. Together with other
teams, Williams with their normally aspirated 3 litre Cosworth V8 engines, were
battling against the new breed of 1.5 litre turbocharged engines coming to the fore.
Again the idea was to give better traction with lower air resistance from the wheels.
Alan Jones tested the car at the end of the season in an unsuccessful attempt by
the team to try and make him change his mind about retiring. Less than a year later
a further version
Williams FW 08B
(FW 08D) was
tested at Donington with apparently some
competitive times
being set. However, that was the
end of the road
for 6 wheel Grand
Prix cars as the
FIA banned them
from 1983.

VSCC Prescott Hill climb 6th-7th August 2011.
By Simon & Janet Wright
with additional photos by Pete Austin and Mick Herring.
One of the oldest meetings on the VSCC calendar, Prescott is a special event which
uses the original shorter course up the hill. The Vintage Sports Car Club originally
found Prescott as a venue, but let the Bugatti Owners Club take over the venue on
condition that the VSCC could run their meeting on the track once a year. The
original course goes tight right at Orchard corner instead of going round the newer
Ettore’s bend.
The event drew a
massive entry with 20
reserves listed. Everyone
wants to compete at this
fantastic venue, set in the
rolling Gloucestershire
countryside. The
competition in every class
was fierce, but James
Baxter driving his regular
Frazer Nash Single
Seater managed to still
come out on top with the
fastest time of the day, a
blistering 40.96 seconds
Fastest time of day went to James Baxter Frazer Nash Single Seater
to win him the MaysBerthon Trophy. Robin Tuluie driving the 1929 Riley Menasco Pirate set a time of
43.4 seconds to win the award for Fastest Vintage Car. The always spectacular GN
Parker of Justin Maeers wasn’t that far behind and was the fastest un-supercharged
sports car at 43.62 seconds, while Sue Darbyshire showed that you don’t need 4

Bentley Scratch Race - Chris Williams - Napier Bentley
This years annual race meeting at Silverstone celebrated the founding of the Bentley Drivers Club in 1936. It was 75 years ago that Bentley enthusiast Gerald Keston
Pelmore left his contact details on all of the old type Bentleys’ he could find in the
car parks at the first Brooklands meeting of that season. 26 people turned up
at the stated time and so
the club was formed. The
rest is
history.
It was therefore appropriate that one of the cars
taking part in the lunchtime
demonstrations was the
1933 Napier-Railton Special from the Brooklands
Museum which, amongst
other achievements holds
the Brooklands Outer CirNapier - Railton demonstration
cuit lap record in perpetuity
at 143.44 mph. In the spirit
of the huge aero engined Brooklands racers, Chris Williams also demonstrated his

fire breathing ‘Mavis’. The Bentley Scratch race saw Simon Worthington on Pole position in his Bentley Continental GT but it was Stuart Worthington who took the race
victory in his Bentley Turbo R from
the spectacular Napier Bentley of
Chris Williams. The
Bentley Handicap
was won by Randal
Stewart driving a
Bentley 3/ 4½. The

won by Paul Forty at
the wheel of a Bentley Mk VI after Simon Worthington
had led the entire
race in his Bentley

the victory, leaving
Simon to come a

The Lotus Festival, naturally at
Snetterton, drew together
demonstration runs by some of the
most iconic single seater racing
cars and road cars from the
Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman era
Clive Chapman
and beyond.
It is good to see the Chapman family's continuing involvement with the cars they
built and, as principal of Classic Team Lotus, Clive Chapman, Colin's son would
also drive one of his father's creations.
The oldest F1 car was the Type 18 in
the hands Malcolm Ricketts, of the
type with which Stirling Moss famously
won the 1960 Monaco GP with the
lower cockpit sides open.
The versatility of the 18 is borne out by
it's use not only in F1 but also F2 and
Formula Junior with different 4 cylinder
engines.

The 1962 Type 25 broke new ground with
it's much stiffer monocoque chassis, as
opposed to the tubular spaceframe of the
car's predecessors.
Powered by the 1.5 litre V8 Coventry Climax
engine this model would go on to claim the
1963 World Championship in the hands of
Jim Clark.

The wedge shaped Type 58, here in F2 specification, was both innovative and
heavy, built and tested in 1968 it would not make it's race debut until 2002 following
restoration by Classic Team Lotus.
Both front and rear suspension were of the De Dion type, with both axles being rigid
in order to keep the wheels upright at all times, the steering rack also being integral
with the front axle. The result was a big, consequently heavy car when compared to
it's contemporaries, but the aerodynamic Wedge shape would re-appear in the
Lotus 72 very soon.
The 1977 Type 79 was
Chapman's second
generation "groundeffect" car, evolving
from the Type 78 but
with at least 30% more
downforce. Despite
some early fragility the
79 took Mario Andretti
and Ronnie Peterson to

ability, results were not forthcoming. This particular car's best being a 4th place in
Australia when driven by Satoru Nakajima. Fittingly the 101 was first tested by
Martin Donnelly at Snetterton in March 1989, with Martin being present and racing
at this meeting, although not driving the F1 cars. The sound of the Judd engine can
be linked back to the Cosworth DFV and Coventry Climax engines that powered
the previous cars, however, what came next definitely has it's origins in what we
heard in F1 cars until recently.
The 1990 Type 102 is unique in Lotus
terms in being powered by a V12 engine
and a Lamborghini V12 engine at that. The
wail of the V12 could be heard all round
the circuit together with the "pops and
bangs" this type off engine always thrills
us with, on the overrun.
It was in a Type 102 that Martin Donnelly
had his life-threatening accident in Spain.
Donnelly drove alongside Derek Warwick
with Johny Herbert taking over from

1991 would see a heavily
revised 102 race in 'B'
specification and with a
change back to Judd
power.
During a lull in racing,
another attempt would be
made to break the world
record to parade Lotus

circuit.

During the summer months, many towns and villages hold summer fetes and
carnivals, and increasingly they are inviting classic car owners to display their
vehicles as part of the show. The annual Wythall carnival has been held for many
years with a Classic Car Show incorporated and it always draws a very interesting
group of classic cars. This year was
no exception. Due to it’s location,
not far from Longbridge Birmingham
where Austin cars were produced
there always seems to be a bias
towards former Leyland car
marques. Austin, MG, Jaguar,
Triumph and Rover all have a proud
history and are always well
represented at meetings like these.
That does not mean that other
makes are not well represented, for
example there was a superb Honda
S800 sports car and a Pontiac
Trans Am amongst the vehicles
representing foreign manufacturers.

You often find many fine examples of some of the smaller British manufacturers
represented that have not existed for many years, but the cars look like they have
just left the show room. Riley and Wolseley were two manufacturers which had
been absorbed in to the British Leyland empire but the names were used on later
models for different sectors of the market. There were a couple of cars at the show
which high-lighted the differences between the same car sold under two different
brands. Launched in 1957, the Riley 1.5 was a sporty saloon car offered with a two
tone paint job and the engine was boosted with a pair of SU carburettors. This gave

feature of
these shows is that you never know what you might find as you look around. A
Jensen GT is a rare sight these days. Another locally built car from West Bromwich,
in the West Midlands, only 509 cars were produced in this 4 seater sports estate
design. Another British ‘sports car’ aimed at the American market, they were
manufactured between 1975 and 1976. Based on the Jensen Healey sports car,
the vehicle was fitted with a Lotus 4 cylinder twin OHC 16 valve 1973cc engine

the Riley 20 BHP more
than the Wolseley
model, even though
they both used the
same B series 1498cc
engine. The Wolseley
1500 was launched first,
in the April of 1957 and
was a more basic,
cheaper saloon than the
more upmarket and
sportier Riley version.
Both models had a
slightly different radiator
grill design to help
distinguish the model.
W”olseley 1500 and Riley 1.5
When production ceased in 1965, 103,394 Wolseleys had been built and only
39,568 Rileys.
Two of the more unusual cars on
display were a genuine American
Triumph TR8, (see separate
feature in this issue) left hand
drive, imported from America with
a genuine 17,000 miles on the
clock, and an MGC GT both
owned by the same man. There
was also a Triumph TR7 with

models were

models had

added to the flavour of the event

Triumph TR8
By Simon Wright
the range of Triumph sports cars was the Triumph TR8. If you attend classic car
shows up and down the country, you will find many examples of Triumph TR8s,
but these are not original models. Lots of TR7s have been converted by fitting the
Rover V8 engine. This article is covering a perfect example of an original factory
built Triumph TR8, which was spotted at the recent Wythall Carnival. This
particular car had been originally exported to America, which is where most of the
original factory built Triumph TR8s were sold. This
model has been re imported back to Great Britain a
few years ago and is in perfect condition.
This particular car was manufactured at Canley in
Coventry in July 1980 before being exported to North
America and sold in New York to an expatriate
Englishman who used the car very little. When he
returned to the UK he brought the car back with him.
But
unfortunately,
not long after
returning, he
died due to an
unfortunate
illness and the car was sold as part of his
estate. The car was bought by a member of
his family who found that it was not the kind of
vehicle they wished to use and it was stored
for over 18 years.
The current owner purchased the car in 2006
and had various work done to the vehicle. The

At the time the car was built, Triumph
were part of British Leyland. Original
factory built TR8s were fitted with the 3
1/2 litre Rover ST1 V8 engine linked to a
five-speed Rover ST1 gearbox and Axle
and a pair of Stromberg 175 CD
carburettors. Even though the car is a
convertible, due to being American spec,
the car is fitted with an air conditioning
system and American specification front
and rear bumpers. In total,
approximately 2850 original Triumph
TR8s were built and only 18 where righthand drive home market specifications. These didn't include any prototypes or works
rally cars. The 18 original right-hand drive cars are rare and can easily be confused
with the large number of TR7s converted from the
four-cylinder engine as originally fitted, to the Rover
V8 engine fitted by private owners. With this model
being left-hand drive, you can see the original North
American speedometer which has the 55 mile an
hour speed limit marked on the speedometer and it
had a top speed of only 85 mph. The radio is a rare

brakes had to be replaced and the
American emission system removed
and the catalytic exhaust system
replaced with a stainless steel exhaust
system. All the tyres were replaced due
to their age. When purchased the
original mileage was only 12,500 miles.
The car still displays the original
stickers from the New York license
Department for the emission passes
that the vehicles require for use on the
roads in America. The vehicle had been
fully rust proofed before purchase
hence the excellent condition of the
bodywork after all this time.
The Great Rempstone Steam & Country Show
The Great Rempstone Steam
and Country Show began in a
modest way in 1954 and has
grown into the oldest surviving
rally in the East Midlands, in only
it's third but ever larger location.
2011 marked the 55th edition,
only three having been missed
due to either an outbreak of Foot
and Mouth or adverse weather
conditions.
The aim of the show has always
been to provide traditional family
entertainment, the spectacle of the magnificent steam engines, rollers and
miniatures in action at full steam, vintage cars, motorcycles and tractors coupled
with the traditional country crafts,
birds of prey, fairground organs
and exhibits from a heritage that
must be celebrated and never
forgotten. The wealth of colour,
sight, sound and smell provided
by all of these many moving or
static exhibits could be savoured
all in one place. This year was no
exception with approx. 500
individual exhibitors or stalls,
including 40 engines. The
highlight of the show was always
destined to be the evocatively
named "100 ton pull", where in the
first instance the lead traction
The Stanley Steam Car
engine pulled approx. another 90
tons behind it, unaided. It accomplished this on the flat part of the exhibition ring and
only needed slight assistance on the uphill gradient owing to wheel spin. The power
of these engines was never doubted but in an acknowledgement to a more modern
era and superior traction, a 1963 Caterpillar earth moving tractor came in and towed
the assembled steam "train" in it's entirety.
The beneficiaries of the success of the show are national and local charities or
organisations. Last year over £10,000 was donated to charities including Help for
Heroes, Rainbows Children's Hospice, Steps and several local charities. Past
recipients have been Air Ambulance and cancer charities. During Sunday
afternoon's awards presentation ceremony, the Mayor of Charnwood presented the
traditional plaques for each category together with initial cheques in the sums of
£5,000 and £2,000 to Help for Heroes and 2425 Nottm Airport sqn. ATC
respectively, with further donations made after the show. The Mayor and Mayoress

"With this years British Grand Prix using the new 'Silverstone Wing' pit complex for the first
time I thought it would be interesting to show what things were like 40 years ago. This
months image was taken just before the start of the 1971 British Grand Prix. The photo was
taken from the Woodcote grandstand looking towards Copse. Despite the start being imminent
chaos seems to reign in the entry to the relatively unprotected but crowded pit lane. I can't see
Bernie tolerating that now. Obviously health and safety wasn't such an issue in those days.
What I presume to be the timekeepers building seems rather confined for such a major event
and there is a distinct lack of grandstands and safety fencing on the run down to Copse. The
mechanics carrying amongst other things a water carrier, small toolbox and a wheel in the pit
lane make an interesting comparison with the equipment required today. Notice Reine Wisell's
Lotus Pratt & Whitney near the back. Ah, those were the days!"

A typical August Bank Holiday, grey cold and with heavy showers, could not deter
the many fans from turning up at Mallory Park for the Classic and Sports Car Clubs,
Supersaloon and Modsports revival race meeting. It may have been cold at the
circuit, but the action was hot.
The Classic Sports Car Club had managed to assemble a fantastic field of these
Super and Special Saloons and Modsports racers, with quite a few ‘STAR’ cars.
High light for most people was Baby Bertha, the famous Vauxhall Super saloon as
raced to so many victories by the late great Gerry Marshall. Other major Superloons
included the Daf V8 ‘Dafney’
and the Beetle Chevrolet V8,
plus the Jaguar XJ12 and
assorted Ford Escorts. Add to
this mix a few slightly more
modern special saloons such as
the Vauxhall Carlton V8, and the
