The Felday BRM 4WD 1800cc V8. Driver unknown. Prescott Hillclimb
Lotus Bristol at Brands Hatch 1971. Note how classic racers present their cars so well these days and just how tatty they often looked in period? (See Mallory pic above.)
We used to have three or four Daimlers out on the tracks and they now seem to be worth too much to risk racing - or maybe fitting roll over safety equipment just destroys their real worth.

Sorry, no, but it was a British special and someone did once tell me what it was. If I find out, I'll label it!
(Apparently identified as Ken Flint's ERA Jaguar.) This was August 1956 and strangely, one of the few early Mallory programmes missing from my collection. Unlike today's safety car environment, I think from memory (I was only 10!), it stayed there for the rest of the day. I note the oil drums on the exit to Shaws - filled with aggregate.
Happy days...
NOTE: If you hover your mouse over the images, it should show the exact date.
198 = 1988, 204 = 2004 etc.
Followed by month and day so 184_1216 is December 16th 1984 - which is why I need exact dates before I can file images permanently.
