I disclaim all of Mr Kay's comments regarding the Editor of the LCES....
Phil Jones is a regular photographer at VSCC meetings and the like and he always sends me photographs for use in the Journal.His late brother, David, was an artist of some local repute and earned a living as a technical illustrator. He died some years ago. Phil has been sorting out David’s things including a lot of drawings and art work (though not all of it is car related) and has been trying to find homes for them. He passed some of them on to me to use in the LCES Journal and then dispose of as I saw fit and this A7 'racer' drawing was amongst them…..
Now… what does intrigue me is that this drawing was produced in the early 1960s. So how did David get the information to make such an accurate drawing? Surely at that time there was little in the way of published information on these early ‘racers’…….
The original drawing has been offered to Hugh for the Archive………
