He rocks!

Nice photo, Rob.

Brooklands, 8 May 1931 I think, JCC Double Twelve Meeting, LeaF J Type, drivers Oetzman and Ivins, retired.

The VSCC runs a rejuvenated (and very different) Double Twelve meeting at Brooklands every June. See similar cars in action every year!

Mike - brilliant recall :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

Info I had was:

“Lea-Francis 1496S cc that was retired from the race due to engine issues at the Brooklands JCC Double Twelve”.

He was a good man :smiley:

He wasn’t that good - this was a retirement…

Have you found some repository of vintage motorsport pics Rob?

For some reason that reminds me, we’ve not heard from Evosal for a while, I loved his ‘Barn Finds’ thread from a year or so ago,…

Top geeking, Rob.
You’ll be up with Chevron next!

Wow, Mike, how do you know all that stuff? Were you there?? :wink:

Amazing Mike!

Interesting placement of the ‘back support cushion’ :smiley:

what happened to 17,18 and 19 ?

There were 8 classes in the race so it’s probably just a class break…
