Crowded in Luffield:-


Whilst Tom Delaney (now aged 95, I think!) who was followed around by a camera crew for much of the day, presses on ........


....... his son, Geoffrey, also upholds Lea Francis honour and keeps close company with Andy Bell's recently restored Aston Martin Speed Model Monoposto and Robert Towell's Morgan Aero:-


Chris Williams with 24 litres of Napier Bentley did his best to prevent Julian Majzub winning the Itala Trophy for the fourth year in succession .......


..... including laying down a smoke screen on the exit of Luffield:-


All to no avail though, as Majzub got the Bentley Pacey-Hassan ahead through Copse, and in his attempt to stay in contention, Williams put the power on a bit too early coming out of Brooklands and gently spun off and then retired. Ironic really, because had he managed to keep going he probably would have won, since Majzub's car lost power and pace over the last few laps and would probably have been overhauled.
