Held, Sir! — Eric Brandon in a spot of bother at the September Prescott meeting, trying to go faster than Moss, who beat him by 1.05 sec. in the 1,100-c.c. racing class.
F.W.D. = F.T.D. — A. J. Butterworth smiles the victor’s smile at Brighton, where his four-wheel-drive, air-cooled 178 A.J.B. made fastest time.
Allard in Action. — Guy Warburton’s post-war 4-litre car climbing Prescott in 50.76 seconds.
The Duellists Again. — Parnell seizes his chance and passes the E-type E.R.A. as Walker slides wide at Woodcote Corner.
