THE 1960 “MOTOR SPORT” BROOKLANDS MEMORIAL TROPHY CONTEST

This contest will again be settled on a points bade at four B.A.R.C. Goodwood Members’ Meetings—those of March 19th, May 7th, July 9th, and a final round in August or September. • * •

Lovers of steam should note that this year’s Andover Traction Engine Rally will take place on May 14th at the delightful setting of Hley Manor Farm. Vintage and veteran cars are welcome and a demonstration of steam fire-engines (last year it was a horse-drawn engine) will be staged. Details from : G. Howell, 5. The Crescent. Andover, Hampshite. • • •

Old cars are in considerable demand for publicity purposes. When Lady Isobel Barnett opened a recent Roads Campaign Council Exhibition in London she arrived in a 1908 single-cylinder Rover. * • •

America, after producing replicas of veteran cars, or ” shammobiles,” which, however, are not recognised by our V.C.C. or her own Veteran Car Clubs, is now building replicas of World War I aeroplanes’. For example, a Fokker triplane, powered with a modern radial instead of a rotary engine and with non-authentic landing wheels and a steerable tail wheel.
