I didn't see you there - quite an eclectic mix of cars yesterday!
I was on Post 2 Redgate. We soon came out of the box when the lightning was overhead. |

So kind of you, Robert, merci infiniment c'est très délicat de votre part. My godness a french Bédélia. You're so much knowledgeable that you must know that this car, due to two brothers engineers, has been built mainly using parts from a wrecked motorcycle they could not afford to fix! Hence the Vtwin engine they used. Fast cyclecar establishing a speed record at Brooklands, one hour average speed 74km/H (wiki!).Very moving. Great attention much appreciated. Is Bob OK?

Gerard, I can not make contact with Bob at the moment, the phone numbers I have for him, mobile and home do not work and all of his e mails were lost some months ago. I have not seen him on any circuit this year. Perhaps Percy or EB have contact with him. Sorry.

Robert, feel free to contact "percy" directly. Works fine.
Back to the Bédélia and its front monoshock. As the rest of this machine, the upper bracket seems fragile. |

I shot a few through the fence at Redgate, so not too brilliant but illustrative! These from the Race 2 - The Bill Philips Trophy Grid for standard and modified Pre War sports cars. Some lovely cars but the numbers were presumably impacted by LMC:-
