Were Colin Crabbe's races at VSCC Oulton in the early '70s in a pukka Merc?

When Lou was born, even though his parents were American, his place of birth meant that he was entitled to dual US/UK nationality. The 1901 census didn't ask for nationality - although his mother did mention on the form that she was a US citizen - and on the 1911 one, although the question was asked, it was left blank. This would normally indicate that you were British, but as Lou was then a boarder in the home of a vicar, presumably either Lou considered himself British at that point or whoever filled in the form didn't ask!I've always assumed he was British - his father had taken British citizenship - but I don't know definitely.
