COMPETITION
We have a two-tier competition devised by our very own mastermind – Roger Gillham - which seems easy on the surface but needs some background ‘digging’ for the second section.
However, if you are an avid racing enthusiast, we are sure the questions contained in the second part will be on the tip of your tongue. Guaranteed to keep you occupied for a while, we have the incentive of the superb C2923A Lotus 49/Eagle Weslake Ltd set for the outright winner and one runner up prize of an example of the C2807 Classic Mini Cooper of Rauno Aaltonen to spur you on.
