Scottish Speedy

[Steve Jones]

I note that the Speedy in my Photo still
has its factory wings so perhaps Ruairidh ‘s photo is later?
Also the competition no. the Speedy is 1 not 11.

The film roll also had a rare MG NE in action on a hill,
Which had been a racing car, but had been converted
To a Trials machine. Only 7NE’s were made and that one
still survives in Switzerland.

I regret not chatting more to some of these
Old MGCC folk when I had my M.G. VA DHC,
which carried a SSCC badge, but was more of a
touring car.

In Cowbourne, the photo from the 1939 SSCC Winter Half day Trial shows the car with factory wings and comp number 11 (so, whilst the same car, it's not the same event as in Bill's photo). No particular reason but Ruairidh's photo looks a lot later, even post war perhaps?

The SSCC ran a number of trials each year. February the 'Winter Half Day Trial', March the 'Half Day Trial', April the 'Highland Two Day Trial', June the 'Inter Club Team Trial', September the 'Autumn Half Day Trial' and October the 'Anniversary Trial'. Perhaps not all of them in 1939 though! Of course, the SSCC still exist and are very active. Do they have any archives records perhaps?

PS: No urgency, Stuart. DW Trial perhaps?
