Can anyone point me towards the results (or reports) for the Easter Monday meeting at Mallory Park 1963 please? I thought I'd found the answer in the Motor Sport archive, but the '63 report turned out to be '62!

 

I believe that Race 1 of that meeting was the first time that a Lotus Elan ever raced, driver LC Fryer but did that car actually start?

 

On the same day at Brands there were two Elans entered but only one raced, and that was in Race 13, driver Kevin Keegan.

 

 

Thanks.

There are brief (single paragraph) reports on the Easter Monday meetings at Mallory and Brands (and Silverstone) in the May 1963 issue of Motor Sport (p 351), but no mention of Elans in any of them.

There was no mention of an Elan in the Mallory up to 1600 GT race in the Autosport report. However, Kevin Keegan is confirmed as having finished 3rd at Brands on that same day.

 

The result at Mallory was:

1. D.Alderson (Elite)

2. S.Taylor (Elite)

3. G.Baird (Elite)

15th April 1963 Brands Hatch 

103 B Kemp Dvr C Hodgson Lotus Elan - did he start? 

 

Whilst not a race Charles Hodgson was entered at Firle 30th Sept 1962

 

Arnold Burton also had an early Elan (with his personal reg AJB 66) and competed at Castle Howard 7th April 1963. 

 

LC Fryer raced a TVR Grantura Climax before the Elan - I have a record that the Elan was registered PMU 453B. Leslie Fryer lived in Enfield. 

 

Fryer is entered in Event 1 Grand Touring Cars Race up to 1600cc Mallory Park BR&SCC 15th April 1963 

 

62 LC Fryer Lotus Elan 1588 (I don't have the results). 

 

(crossing over the Marcos thread there are also 4 Marcos GM Jones, Ecurie Freeze J Oliver Ufra Light Industries GW John & Bantel dvr M Brandon 3rd Reserve).

I'm sorry, I seem to have kicked off a THIRD thread on this subject! I couldn't find the earlier one(s) and therefore assumed I'd been dreaming!  :rolleyes:

 

However, we still don't seem to have any results or report for Mallory Park.
