I have lost contact with Charlie and would like to visit him. I have spent endless efforts trying to find out his whereabouts via the Selwyn Village organisation without success and with endless frustration.

Please advise details here as I am sure that there will also be others having the same problem.

Special thanks, Trevor.


I just went to the main admin building and they gave me directions

Great to see Charlie Conway alive and well. Lost my brother Anil Naidu some time ago and is great to see his racing photos. Wonderful memories...

Hi,
Looking for period photo's and data on the MGB Charlie Conway raced under the Checker Flag name and then Naidu aquired it and did some fantastic times in it..

We sold BRU the FIA MGB back into UK last year and this may well be this years project , and would love some photo's to go on.

Or would look at doing a deal , we are after a pre TD ,P J TA whatever MG more suited for a geriatric team to prepare and race
