I was at this meeting in May 1963 for the Molyslip Saloon Car Championship at Brands. At the time there were quite a few very quick A40s including Chris Airey.

Unfortunately after going off track at the then (bottom bend) he got back on too quickly, rolled four times and the seat came loose during the rolls and he was partially thrown out of the door. I actually witnessed this and I seem to remember that the car had a fibreglass floor ? This brought home to me that motor racing was dangerous however it didn't stop me from partaking for 45 years !
