No 8, PG3935 is Charles Metchim's "Earthquake", the ex Barnes Bros 23 Chummy-bodied special
PL 5432 was driven by my grand father in the JCC high speed trials at Brooklands on 16th July 1932. We, "the family", believe that this picture is of him, Maurice Gorringe. If anybody has any more information on this car, I would love to hear from them. Thanks.
That looks like an Aston Martin International 2 seater in the background. Any chance of a detail on that one?
the car is a Brooklands Riley, VC 835, chassis 8052 driven by E K Rayson. Previous owner A F Ashby
I was referring to competitor 33, not the Aston
I owned PL5432 when I was an apprentice at The Churchill Machine Tool Company in Broadheath Near Altrincham. I bought it from Eric Turner who worked in the maintenance dept. I owned the Ulster in the early sixties and it was my everyday transport. I sold it for £80.00 ! How I miss her. I discovered that it was sold at Christies auction house a few years ago for over £35000 ! I would love to see her again. G.E.Arber
