Hi Jon. Actually it is Zakia Redjep, probably the hairiest man in motor racing in the sixties. He ran a second hand car dealership just off the "Sun in the Sands" by the A2. That will get your dads memory moving. Glyn |

[QUOTE=
Also John Searby racing on a shoe string complete with the old mig welded A series rocker mod ![/QUOTE] If anybody`s interested, John Searby did about 2/3 of a season in 1987, having never raced before, in a 1430cc class C A40. Realising that 5 bearing 1500 cc Anglias were too much opposition, he then switched to class D for 1988 with a 998cc Miglia spec engine and won the Championship, so the arc (not mig) welded rockers seem to work! He then ran a 1000cc short stroker for 1989 and retired in 1990 as everything was getting too expensive. It`s nice to see there are still one or two A40s still out there trying to beat the Imps. |

I think his A40 went down to Kent (Clive ??) and used in the ICS series in the mid-90s but I've lost track of it since. |

Yes, Clive Reader was the name. I think he was a mate of David Bridger who raced the ex-David Lewis A40 (1430cc ?) at that time.

As far as I remember, Clive went off going into Druids, came back on and was T-boned quite badly, by who I can`t recall.

Bevan A40
Hello Chaps,
I was just looking through the internet trying to find information about my car, when I stumbled across this forum. I was suprised to see pictures of my car in period and wondered if anyone has any more photos or information on it. Just thought I would include some photos of its current state, as I rescued. |

Hi Pete welcome to the forum. Well whatever killed him it was a sad day, but that was a very bad crash and it certainly didn't help !
How things have changed over the years, I seem to recall most of the clubbies at Brands were packed with spectators and there were a lot of crashes and injuries and unfortunately a few deaths. Looking on the dark side maybe that was why it was so popular back then ? Back on topic, where the hell has your old car been hiding for all these years ? |
