For those who haven't seen the plans, here's a taste...

OMG - that is surely a Joke.

It will be Bloody Awful with two hairpin on only a 1.2 mile track. Words fail me.

A shot from Brands Circa 1961, with an unclothed Lotus 17, does anyone know what the car is behind it? I am stumped!

Possibly an Alvis special.

Definitely not an LG45. I thought it might be Rixon Bucknall's Jaguar bitsa, but the rad is too far forward. I'm edging towards the Alvis special theory.

(Like the username - if I overtook you on the Continent, would I "pass the Dutchy pon de left-hand side"? You may or may not get that - sorry folks.

Are you getting all musical, youth? Ben Pon, I assume.

Youth? I like that. You have to be an oldie to remember the song. And Ben Pon.(Ecurie Maarsbergen?)

The radiator shape shouts Lagonda to me but I concede the forward position is wrong for an LG45; however it isn't out of place entirely for an LG6. Having said that the club badge below the lower light looks very like an Alvis Owners Club badge. If the photo can be magnified the answer will easily be found in the wheels as Alvises had a unique "jelly mould" hub.
