A series of pre war racing car photos purporting to be of an MG have been listed on eBay. Here are a few of them. There are more than this listed for sale.

Yes, Widengren's ex-Vernon Balls C6-engined Amilcar CO (not a pure C6). A mix of Montlhéry and (presumably) Brooklands pictures, as a couple of them have a Brooklands can and fishtail exhaust.
Any chance of a link to the original auctions? I have Swedish friends who would find these of interest. |

Cat,
You might be interested to know that my Uncle, Pat Green owned this Amilcar in the 1950's and raced it in VSCC and other events.

There is a further MMM connection, in that former owner Vernon Balls was uncle to our own much admired Patrick Gardner.
