1950s 2.9litre Astons and 2.6litre ACs with (assume) drum brakes versus early 60s smaller cars with better brakes and handling sounds a good mix to me.
John, Celia used to post on the Peerless Warwick forum, so maybe a chance to contact via that. Also, they raced with CSCC at some point, so maybe the club would have contact info.....
