I have recently seen a couple of pictures of a heavily modified Fairthorpe raced in the 1970`s at Croft by Alex Souter, can anyone supply more information on Alex or his Fairthorpe?

Thanks, did a facebook search and the only history page i can find is for 2 or 3 wheels? Is it on the main Croft circuit facebook page?

One was fitted with a Dolomite Sprint engine, it's certainly modified - https://www.carandcl...electron minor/

Yes, i know that car well, i can`t upload a picture of the car in question as it is saved on my computer, not on an image hosting site.

Uploaded it to that site but only using the direct link option made the picture appear on my draft post but it then says you cannot use that link on this forum..........

The best Postimage link to use is the one marked ‘Hotlink for forums’. Then just paste it directly into your post, and if all goes well the photo should appear.
