    From the <a href="http://pub25.bravenet.com/forum/2099944454">Austin Seven forum</a> by Beatrice Brown I am right. The car was entered by the works for Goodacre. Hattons were the the local Austin agents who provided support and the administation of the entry was made locally by Stephenson. It was not Stephenson's car. Stephenson was the Club Press Officer and all my information about the events at Southport came from Club sources, not the magazine reporters who frequently got things wrong By David Howe Austin,Beatrice is right that is Charles Goodacre driving my car which was a works entry.In the 70's Martin Eyre met Charles Goodacre on a number of occassions and Goodacre desribed teh Southport 1935 100Mile Race stating it was the most exiting race had had ever run and the one he was most proud to have won.At that time Martin was the ownner of my car.Goodacre had a photo of himself during the race on his bedside table.
