In no order of preference, Laurence Brownlie, Russell Thompson, Pierre Phillips, Geoff Mardon, Neil Doyle.
Im leaning toward Doyle, but I think I have read a post somewhere from Russell Thompson himself, possibly on this site where he had raced one of the 5000 Begg cars but was not given credit for it. If its Laurence Brownlie its the early Begg Daimler with motor from sports car ( McBegg- oops that's wrong ).... you guys can work it out

Wasn't that the motor from the previous sports car before the McBegg?Originally Posted by Jac Mac

Oops, YES my mistake, the motor from the McBegg had tossed its Harmonic Balancer at a Timaru meet on way back from the NZ Land Speed record runs.
I don't think it is a FM2 as they had a flat top roll hoop and were as I recall quite slab sided.
Leonard in the Begg I was referring to earlier. Certainly the exhausts look the same.
