Re: Sidevalve Racer Photos at Brooklands last weekend!!

We managed to lose the centre out of the rear os wheel nut (as you can see in the photos). Ian Bancroft and I walked up and down the finishing straight looking for it, to no avail. If anyone found a chrome disc about 2" diameter with a capital A on it we would love to know.

Nice to talk to you on the day, Will, thanks for putting up the pictures.

Regards,
Stuart

It was definitely on the car when you left for the run, I checked after having a look to make sure it wasn't somewhere enroute to the finishing straight or the paddock.

Thank you for a lovely set of photographs.

Interesting to see the changes and improvements from the earlier 'Duck' racer.

Cheers, Tony.
