Brands Hatch. 9th October 1955.
I would be interested if anyone has a programme for this event and could please scan me a copy of the page with the entrants for the ‘Fibreglass Trophy Race’
and the entrants for the Concours d'Elegance for fibreglass bodied cars. I know there was a parade lap for the fibreglass bodied cars, lead by Alan Jensen
in the Jensen factory 541 press car.
Below is a section of the race report from MotorSport, was there a race report and photos in the following weeks Autosport?
Next came one of the most interesting events of the day, the Fibreglass Trophy Race, for racing or sports cars with bodies of at least 80 per cent fibreglass.
The exterior finishes of these models varied considerably, many of them were indistinguishable from pressed steel. G. Wicken in a Cooper and Les Leston
in a Connaught were first and second, respectively. E. Bush had a very pretty maroon and cream coloured Ford saloon which was quite rapid 11. E. Pryce
also had an attractive open cream coloured Ford, but this was rather slow. Silver trophies were presented to the winners and to conclude the meeting a
Concours d'Elegance was held for cars with bodywork of this material, which was won by a very pretty flesh coloured Coventry-Climax-engined Arnott
entered by Miss Daphne Arnett.
