From the article
'European Visit' article and photographs
by John King
1. "Roger Craven (left) in Chassis
640,
and Ian Warner in Chassis AX1652,
line up in their 3-litres for a damp
VSCC Prescott. Despite appearances,
this is not a grumpy Muppet waving
a pencil on the right of the picture."
2. "Paul Tunnicliffe (left)
in Chassis AP324,
and Ian Warner in AX1652, are lined
up on the grid before driving singly,
in numerical order, 180deg to the
starting line at VSCC Prescott on
4 August. Readers may note that AP324
was originally a Gurney Nutting Saloon,
and AX1652, one of the rare 100 MPH
9 wheelbase chassis, originally
had an H.J. Mulliner Saloon body." |
