Came across this interesting Pathe clip today.
Shows two R-Types entered in a 1937 road race in Cork, Eire.

An interesting result, especially with the opposition.

Chassis numbers, anyone?

Enjoy.

Probably RA0259 driven by Bobby Baird and RA0260 driven by C H Manders.
Don't know which car was which however.

I could recognise for sure only one R type No.17 Bobby Baird in RA0259.
But there were 3 K3's No.14+15+16, and the winner No.14 was K3028 driven by H.B.Prestwich.
Somebody having a Programme ?

I am learning ever and anon !
The white sideline on the car, made me thinking it's Bairds RA0259.
But here on Manders RA0260 in the clip this line is placed lower.

Thank you Achim, the perfect answer.

Definitely not Baird or RA0259 in this one.
