Hello,

 

I have posted in here previously with fantastic results, so I wonder if anyone might be able to help me with the below.

 

I'm looking for information on the events listed below, copies of programme covers / entry lists / results sheets and the like. I am researching a specific car and driver, and hoping to verify events he competed in.

 

There events are as follows, if anybody has any information on any of them, I would be delighted to hear from you.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Tewin Water Speed Trials - 1950 (possible June 18th)
 
Beechwood Park - 1950 (May)
 
Brighton International Speed Trials - 1951
 
Daily Express National Rally to Hastings - 1951
 
Eastbourne Rally - 1952
 
Daily Express Rally - 1953
 
Coronation Rally - 1953
 
West Brook Hay Hill Climb - 1954

Any chance you can let us know which month of the year each event took place in? Also was there only the one event at Westbrook Hay in 1954?

Hi Stephen.

Thanks for the reply.

Sadly, the above is the only information I have - they are notes on the back of photographs from events.

The Website Brightonspeedtrials.com has copies of the old programmes that can be downloaded in PDF format

Having looked at the 1951 programme he is listed as driver 122 driving a Jaguar.

 

Another interesting fact of that year was another driver by the name of B Ecclestone driving a cooper
