    I do not wish to question the comments made by JWd, but according to The Autocar, July 21st 1922 page 147. It says Segrave’s Sunbeam leads the Aston Martin. Have they got it wrong?

    Autocar is likely to be correct! My mistake. Austin, would you delete/edit accordingly, please.

    Autocar has been known to be wrong on several occasions so far, details updated though.

    William Court has this listed as Segrave leading a Fiat. I would certainly take some further convincing that that distant indistinct blob was an Aston-Martin. Presumably a close-up doesn't help, Austin?

    Close up added. Someone has to be wrong!

    Not an Aston-Martin!

    I agree with William Court, who ever he is. Thanks Austin for the distant car blow-up. I always want to know more about the Sunbeams at this event, any more pictures?
