Just found these pics of G.B.C. Sumner in the 1936 Relay Race, car no. 5A. Same car but with the tyres gone bold? Surely not one of the three trials N-types though? Would be nice to be able to allocate it to a chassis number!

I wonder what chassis number car 9B is, is looks to be an L2 and judging by the light shade might be one of the 3 Alpine winning cars?
I think car in team 8 might also be an L type?

Hello,
No 3 is my car. The black Aston Martin. Anybody here interested in doing a deal/trade for a suitable MMM?
Kind regard

I’m assured that these tyres hadn’t gone bald; smooth tyres were used on the Outer Circuit - Brooklands slicks?

Thanks Cathelijne - I had been trying to identify Denis wife's name!
Agree, #39 is the Magnette Trials car - NA0634, Registration # BLL 492, not NA 0633 It was delivered to D Evans and Nevil Lloyd, but is the car normally driven by Doreen Evans.
NA 633 was delivered to Kenneth Evans. (BLL491)
NA 635 was delivered to Denis Evans.
The horn alongside the driver's wheel of car # 39 is exactly where they were mounted on the Evans team of J2s. Always wondered why they always fitted a horn on their trials cars.
I now understand what you meant in your email to me about a missing tooth!!

Gents, just stirring this one again, because I'm confused!
1c (Doreen Evans, Relay July '35) - NA0634 or an unidentified N-type, same as 5a and 9?
5a (Sumner, Relay May '36) - NA0634 or an unidentified N-type, same as 1c and 9?
9 (Pauline Evans, BARC Aug '35) - NA0634 or un unidentified N-type, same as 1c and 5a?
39 (Doreen, possibly Donington April '35) - NA0634, right?
And then there's this one:
20 (Shelsley, Sept '34) - NA0634 or an unidentified N-type, same as 1c, 5a and 9?

I think the track of car number 20 at Shelsley Walsh looks to be too narrow for it to be an N type?
I wonder if it is in fact an L2. Mike Allison has stated in his article on lady drivers in the latest Yearbook that Doreen Evans was given an L2 as a Birthday present - Registration MG 2454 which is original to chassis L2012.
However, the factory file shows the first owner of L2012 was L M Maxwell who lived in New Barnet, London. The car survives.

Doreen Evans was given her J2, J3280, for her 17th birthday. It was registered to her on 10 May 1933 although she wasn’t seventeen until 4 June. One must assume that the L2 was given to her - second hand - for her 18th birthday
