The VSCC has just issued an update on their changes of policy for eligibility of cars for competition.
“Eligibility is extended to original Post-War Specials made before 31st December 1955, with Buff Forms designated “Post-War Special”. Newly constructed accurate copies of Post-War Specials that existed prior to 31st December 1955 will also be considered for acceptance”
This seems to indicate any Williams car built before the end of 1955, and the early Speedex cars. Does it now mean that Ashley cars are eligible? As for ali bodied Ulster or Grasshoppers built and registered in the indicated timescale, presumably these can be considered eligible as well.

If I was being cynical, I might think that letting in postwar specials was more about boosting membership numbers than a sudden Damascene conversion by the VSCC as to the fun that you might have driving an A7 Cambridge or Ford Pop based special.
