Crystal Palace 5 July 1958 - Lotus Elite
the 5th july 1958 was a very special day for me. At the age of 11 my parents letmego to the meeting on my own. Searching the net I have found that the main race was the Formula 2 Anerley Trophy won by Syd Jensen (Cooper) from Ivor Bueb (Lotus) and Jim Russel (Cooper). The main supporting race was for sports cars won by Ivor Bueb (Lister) from Bruce Halford (Lister) and Graham Whitehead (Aston Martin).
There was also a race for GT cars won by a Lotus Elite from a couple of Elva Couriers and a touring car race featuring at least two 3.4 Jaguars and John Sprinzel's Austin A 35. Does anybody have any details of the latter two races? Were there any other races that day?. |

Its obviously my fallible memory: 2 Elites and 1 Elva not 1 Elite and 2 Elvas.
