Mark Dwyer has been campaigning a T400 this season, and is in both the programme and in the results on the HSCC website as having raced it on Saturday. However, the car pictured is a T332 but is carrying Dwyer's number. The Viceroy car in Michael Lyons.

Ah yes, perhaps having an 'end of season go' before deciding to buy?

While we are showing our pictures of the Brabham, here's mine from this year's Brands Hatch Superprix - turning in to Clearways.

The Chevron B42 of Robert Shaw in which Giacomo Agostini debuted in 1978.

1978 Thruxton and Ago is in the B42.

Another shot of TNFer zoff2005 aka Marcus Mussa after finishing in 7th place in the Classic F3 race in his Modus M1

Nick Fleming dismounts from his Chevron B8 after finishing in 4th place in the Guards Trophy. The red B8 further down the garage is the similar car of Ross Maxwell which finished in 5th place. The Maxwell car was the first B8 ever to win a race in the hands of Aintree regular Phil Silverston at Silverstone on March 30th, 1968.

The beautifully prepared B6 of Nick Thompson from 1967 which finished 6th.

and here is a mystery Formula Junior spotted briefly in the paddock, with no-one around to ask - when I went back, it had been put in its trailer:

Does anyone have any thoughts on this FJ car, or a picture with the race number on it so we can check with HSCC?

I don't think it raced Roger. Looks like a recent restoration or purchase, possibly being delivered?

Thanks Vince, I've think you've solved it.

Here are a couple more from the meeting, of Allan Rennie's Lotus 35 with Martin 3-litre V8, built up as a recreation of the Lucas car that Piers Courage practised at the 1967 Race of Champions; and my little model, as mentioned by Giraffe (incidentally, the other TNFer present who hasn't been mentioned was Ted Walker).





The story of Allan's car and how he put it together is fascinating - hopefully there might be an article about it sometime. I'll post a couple more photos on a 'Martin V8 Engines' thread for those who are interested.
