    number 9 is surely not a Twin Cam racer, a look at the brakes surely confirms this?

    No9 Austin: it really is the white works side-valve racer! The fabled twin cam had rim size drum brakes with no significant gap showing spokes. The side-valve seen here is a much lighter car & you may smile when discover the dates that the twin-cam actually saw the race track.
