Whilst reading through a few of my dad's old copies of Motorsport Magazine (every issue since about 1955!) I've come across a few bits and bobs which may be of some interest.
First of all, from April '68, a letter was sent in...
Mr Parks doesn't ring a bell, Duncan might have something on him as he's researching race programs at the moment and he's already found some really interesting stuff. Some of this he's written up for the TR Mag reports but fear not
these reports will also appear on the new website which is coming along well (due to the builder of such things being under a foot of snow so cant go anywhere)
Without a reg on the front I'm struggling.....shame the bonnet wasn't open I might have been able to read the commission plate. Looks to be a good quality photograph, where did that come from?
Also, why is there always a Mk2 careering around in most of these photos of the period!
The three club cars are from 1975 I think the photo appeared in classic cars promoting the club. The racing photo is from Ted Walker Ferret Fotographics bought at a classic car event. I have some more racing photos Ill dig them out. This one features two slightly modified cars (lights) and Im pretty sure you published another picture of these cars in the club magazine a few years ago? Again its a Ted Walker photo, on the back it says 1960 AMOC Silverstone, J Rose Peerless. No mention of the other Peerless but could be traced with a racing programme I suppose.

I'll get Duncan on the case, he's better that a truffle sniffing dog!
Keep the images/ad's coming as you seem to be finding all sorts and I would like you to PM with stuff (IF you are happy to do so) as we would like to keep them in the archive as stuff just gets berried on FB, its low res you can't search easily for it.
