No.4 was driven by Ken Warton.
Entered by 'Ecurie du Puy' which was a fancy name for a team owned by American John du Puy.
(Chassis No. 2521, Cheers to David McKinney)

Without my AGP book here I can't answer that... Kevin Neal perhaps? Though I'd have thought an International visitor would have a low number like that...

Coincidentally, I might be able to answer by the end of the day. Malcolm Smith, an old friend of mine, is going to the HSRCA Social Night tonight with me and he was a spectator at that race.

He didn't go to Melbourne for the Olympics, either, just went down for the race. I think in a Vanguard, it's quite a story.

And it's good to see these pics.

Any one go to Games in Melb in 1956 and not go to AGP that year.

I scanned these from the Launceston Gray Family Slides
