Not a photo memory, but none the less a memory. Im sure in the context of fun Bob will forgive me posting a video in the Photo parade

I always thought this quite fun. Simon as "The Caretaker". Love the way he gets into the Aston.

I do like the pre War stuff. I think the K3 is so pretty. The NA Magnette belongs to a family friend, I've seen it in many iterations over the last half century or so.

At what event were the pictures of the ever-so-nearly-spinning-Beemer taken? The white Midget looks like a de-bumpered 1500 and judging by its lean angles most unsuited to circuit work!

Which would explain the non-race specification of the two MGs, as it's a "High Speed Trial" isn't it?
