George Whitehead W.R.A.
I'm researching the Oulton Park Gold Cup meetings and came across George Whitehead of W.R.A. engineering and Ford Anglia fame. This is 1963 and he is entered in the sports car race in what I think is his own car, The W.R.A. Mk III Ford. Unfortunately the results sheets show he got as far as Knicker Brook before "accident" is recorded. He is entered under The Cheshire Racing Team which also begs the question why, when apparently W.R.A. Engineering is very much a southern based team...Harrow? Can anyone help out here? I can't find any photos (my dad might have one but unless I know what I'm looking for I wouldn't know it if I saw it!!) The Racing Sports Car site only has the MkII and MkIII identified and Beric Ewin, Max Ward and Norman Barlow as drivers. Was there a MkI?
