I am currently documenting the history of a car I am looking to restore and use in various events. The NF members have been very helpful in finding information on two of its past Owners and drivers so far:
Charles L R Page from Chichester : I beleive he owned the car from 1960 to probably mid/end 1964, the car was a 948 cc then
Lionel Starley from Brighton : He owned the car from 1964 onward and may have used it to race though I think his so Colin Starley was the main driver. The car got upgared to a 1098 engine by Mr Starley.
Prior to being owned by Charles Page the car was owned fron 1959 to 1960 by a D. A. Starkey from Bognor Regis of whom I know nothing.
A member of the forum kindly pointed that Charles Page raced the car at the Brighton speed trials in both 1960 and 1961. I know also that Colin Starley took part in the speed trials in 1966 (i have the scrutineer ticket with his times on it), but assume that he may have taken part onto other events from 1962 to 1967.
I am due to visit the Brighton & Hove club , but need to take a day off to get there as they open only on the wednesday evening. Though whilst trying to arrange for this I have been trying desesperatly to find copies of the speed trials programme to buy for the years 1959 to 1968 as possible evidences. I wonder if someone knows where I could find those or alternatively could send me a scan of the front page and the page where the entry/results of my chaps would show.
Any clues about all of the above and my other threads would be very much appreciated. I can also be contacted by email at: pierre@lequeux.org
kind regards to all
