VSCC at Cadwell Park, 23 August

Barry Connell plumes over the crest in his supercharged 1933/38 Alvis Special, at another relentlessly wet meeting. After Julian Majzub’s brake problems denied spectators a promising needle-match, James Diffey took the Williams Trophy in Ivan Dutton’s Bugatti, but stopped in the Spero-Voiturette race when he found Stuart Roach trapped but uninjured under his Riley. A record 23 Frazer-Nashes started the ‘Nash-only event. Tom Walker’s GN Special, fifth in the Melville-Geoghegan Trophy.
