Re 23, there is a photo and article on the car in Robin Bouchers book, Drive it! Hillclimbing and sprinting,Haynes publishing 1977.
Chris Dowson (the potato farmer) died recently.
I met Doc Willoughby and Charles Adrian but they made no mention of Chris Tipping.
The MAE that i fitted came out of the Lola F2 SL60/2 that originally belonged to Midland Racing Partnership, the engine had been fitted at an earlier time in its life.
I was told that Arch motors built 58 frames and 2 were intended as spares and that Radio London owned 1 of them, how true all this is i do not know but i believe we should share all of our knowledge so that some one can sought out the wheat from the chaff other wise fiction can become fact.
