Mark, I'd go for somewhere between 1965 & 68, with Syd Beer in the K3 & Bruce in the Q Type. I'll have the programme somewhere at home so can look it up.

Probably 1965 or 66. The blue TD alongside the Ex Harvey Noble Q type was driven by Dick Ward who was a student friend of mine at De- Havillands. We went our ways after 1966. Allan |

This meeting was the 21/05/66 MGCC Silverstone Race Meeting. However the driver of the K3 is none other than Mike Allison! The Q Type is driven by Malcolm Beer, not Bruce. Strangely, they are entered in the 5 Lap scratch Race for "MG;TC;TD & MGA excluding disc braked cars". Mike won (as he jolly well should in the K3) & Malcolm came in 7th.
No 114 - R Stenson, MGA. No 106 - M Vincent, TC. & what No 70 - J Spencer, Midget is doing on the grid anybody knows!

Memories of the 60s. This was not just the era of (free love)? There was also great motor racing too! Keep the photos coming Mark. Allan |
