Hi Duncan
A great find! This is an intriguing car and the more photos
Discovered the better. I’ve yet to find a good rear view of this car
or even a clear side shot that shows the profile.
This prototype was the first of 2-3000 Cups I believe,
What a pity he lost so much money in the USA and didnt
forego fabric construction when the writing was on the wall.
GE was the Donald Healey, Colin Chapman and John Cooper of his
Day. Let all us Cup Cyclecaristes raise a glass to his memory!!
Looks like it was a handicap race as the starters flag looks like it’s
coming down to flag off the 2x Austin’s, but those drivers behind aren’t even
In their cars!
Anyone know who the
Other two Austin folk are?
