[quote="AMCO72"]It is the Begby special. A beautifully constructed little machine and a real credit to its owner/builder. Sorry cant provide any more details but someone will know.

Great photos,what is car 441, single seater with wire wheels ?

I thought car #44 was a supercharged Riley.

Correct........car 441 is the Bagby special. Correct name from Elcoyote.....he 'begs' to differ.

Was originally a factory JBS chassis with Triumph M/Cycle engine followed by a VW1200. Had a bad shunt and Bob Bagby built a new chassis with a Vic Simpkin 100E. Stan B has owned for 40 years and was brilliantly restored by himself and Tor Andreasson and is pure gold

Dale, your comment is presumed correct, but until coroners etc unconfirmed. Len May was the person concerned.
Saturday afternoon was cancelled, but Sunday went ahead pretty much as scheduled, however the Formula Juniors withdrew in respect.

Really sad to hear this. Condolences to Len's family and friends. RIP.

I'd like to offer my condolences to the family & friends of Len May. Very sad & we'll all miss him even if we didn't know him personally.

To me, there is one car, and one driver who epitomises everything that is right about Classic racing, and that is Fred Courtney in the old Northland special. Just take a look at Nigels pictures, and the look on Freds face as he hussles the car along. Great.

Talking of hussling, the pilot of the RA Vangaurd was giving it a bit of welly and exploring the limits of adhesion and finding it a bit of a handful. Look at the attitude of the car, and the way the suspension is working when cornering hard. I think Mr Green needed to do some more sums on that one.

Brilliant photos everyone! Thanks for sharing. Some really great cars there.
