Just a long shot really, i know quite a few Fairthorpes were raced during the late 50`s and throught the 60`s but there don`t seem to be many pictures about. Does anyone on the forum have any pictures taken back in the good old days of club racing, there were always several at the eight clubs meeting at Silverstone or competing at goodwood etc..........Martin

There were a couple in one of the "identify this car" threads, but I can't recall which one. google Don Bennett.

It's not an action shot, but there is a photo of Jim Forno's Fairthorpe lined up for inspection before the 1960 Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. The picture is on Dave Nicholas' BARCBOYS site.
