    Probably Dean Hill Climb. Mays' hat matches the shot of him ascending the hill and his passenger has the same flat cap, but the other way round. <a href="http://www.austinharris.co.uk/photo/bugatti-jcc-dean-hill-hill-climb/746">SEE HERE</a> In his book <a href="http://www.allautobooks.com/books/plitsecs.jpg"> 'Split Seconds'</a> Mays writes ( of Dean Hill Climb) , " The little Brescia left the mark like a rocket, the engine emitting that unique and unmistakable note for which Bugattis are famous. Round the twists and turns we slithered in short, sharp skids in the wet surface, the car nevertheless holding the road marvellously. Finally a flat-out burst of speed up the last straight carried me to the finish. In a few seconds the officials came up to me and said : Mays, you have nade fastest time of the day - many congrats."

    Powell & Hanmer oil lamps and no front brakes. Wonder what the police wanted? JWd
