    Could that passenger be DSJ?

    Geoff Harrison Looks very much like him - I would think that it could be Holland Birkett driving , possibly one of the Cotswold area trials ( Gloucester ?) by the terrain . Good to see some trials cars - keep the pics coming !

    Who is DSJ? It could well be Holly Birkett, another photo of the same car had his name written on the plate wrapper.

    It does look like Holly Birkett with Denis Jenkinson bouncing

    Julian Hunt The driver is almost certainly Holly Birkett in his Ulster with the enlarged "spare-wheel slot" which was big enough to take a Labrador. The passenger is definitely Denis Jenkinson. I think the hill is Nailsworth Ladder near Dursley.

    Definately not his Ulster (TT). The reg. number for that is AXK 828. Also wrong bonnet, front axle etc..

    This is most certainly NOT Nailsworth Ladder and my guess would be the upper reaches of Mill Lane, above Prestbury just north of Cheltenham. More ideas when I've checked my records ... Andrew.

    It's not Nailsworth Ladder, that is far more open. It could be Ash.

    Front axle looks like an independent front suspension 'swing axle' Axle sawn in half with eyes welded in middle where pivoted on a plate added to nosepiece of chassis. Also track rod split and pivoted on fixed points on plate. Dennis Nicholas 02 May 2008

    I reckon it is the upper reaches of Crooked Mustard

    Might possibly be the upper reaches of Mill Lane, Andrew, but my vote must go to the upper reaches of Crooked Mustard which in those days could well have been known as "Breakheart".

    Crooked Mustard (Breakheart) for sure.
