ARGH apologies for not responding! The topic dropped off the main screen for a month and forgot to keep checking this sub-forum, anyway, D-Type was correct :)

Thanks. As I can't post pictures, anybody else please feel free to post one
Well since I concurred with D-Type on the last pic, here's one from a particularly dusty book on my shelves!
Ferrari 125 GP49
Alas, no, Rich23.
An A-Type? ;)
That's an A-type Connaught. No idea who or where, though. (Driver could be CAS Brooks, but I'm not convinced)
I find myself on the horn of a dilemma! I failed to be specific in terms of what, where, when and whom.
Of course, it is a Connaught A-Type.
Happy to hand the baton to you, sir, unless anyone, now armed with that information, cares to fill in the gaps.
By way of a clue, may I say that the picture was taken in 1953, the ancien pilote at the helm is still very much with us and he recently enjoyed a rather long and pleasant lunch by all accounts!
By the way, Brooks it ain't.
Roy Salvadori?
Oulton Park?
Salva yes! Location no!
It was sur le continent!
So now we have Connaught A-Type, Salvadori, 1953, not in Blighty. I'm 'appy with that.
May I suggest that Vitesse and D-Type can fight over the baton... first in best dressed.
Oh and I'll put up the race and results now if anyone cares to enquire.
