So if we had bought the collection we could have copied it and sold it on perhaps...
I would certainly help with an archive if we created one, but a bit old and senile so would need watching!!!
Cheers

Does anybody know the names of the drivers of these two MGs ? .
If the Mere Corner mentioned is the one in Cheshire , which l am sure l recognise from the photo , l am surprised the Abingdon Trial came this far north .
Can our trials experts advise please . |

Is any information available on the 1937 Abingdon Trial ? |

Ray, there is some information in Roger Thomas’ book on MG Trials Cars, pages 73, 74 and 76. Also the 1938 Route Card.

According to my information, in the 1937 Abingdon to Abingdon trial, ALG 906 was driven by a J. Terras, and ANE 641 was driven by J. H. Clent.

Mike. Thank you for those drivers names . Jack Terras had owned the PB no. BTU 260 which I raced for a number of years back in the 1960s & 70s .
Both cars are registered fairly local to me viz. Cheshire and Manchester so was interested to know the names of the drivers .
Can’t say l know of J H Clent though .

| Cat. Thanks for posting this interesting report of the Chilterns Trial. I think l have seen the name Guest mentioned before but cannot remember where . He must have had some ‘ form ‘ for him to be asked to join the two regulars in the Nor’WesterTrials team. |
