Great to see that PZ 2473 is still around! I have a photo of my mother posing alongside it in 1957 outside the stables of the house we used to live in.
Owner then was a Graham Maude, who used to race the car at Oulton Park and
Goodwood amongst others.
Love to see it! - I was only 1 when the photo was taken!

Have just spent a few hours adding a photo, which seemed to have been downloaded or whatever - no idea where it is on the site!

Great!

Pictures like this are far more interesting than ones of perfectly restored cars, which all look the same.- but we need them, too.

I don't agree with many things you say Jeremy but agree whole heartedly .... Period photos are much more interesting ..
