Note: Martin adds to our information regarding our head photo at the top of this page:


 The car is the George Hartwell 'Monaco' Special and features a Francis Beart tuned Norton engine and was particularly successful at speed trials where you didn't need the torque of the JAP engines used by most of the opposition.

Thanks to Registered member James Holland for assistance with captions.  The 1911 Fiat S61 (shown above) was raced at Brooklands by John Duff in the early 1920s and later by John Cobb who made his track debut in it. After WWII it was campaigned by Len Gibbs, and later by Dr Pinkerton. 

* The car in these photos was originally labelled - Pacey/Hassan Special, 4.5 litre supercharged. James raises the question that the car could be the Bentley Jackson, but that he would be happier if a "greater authority 'were to identify it. If it is the Bentley Jackson it would have had a 6 1/2 litre engine and not a 4 1/2. Incidentally The Pacey was an unblown 4 1/2 although it did at one time have an experimental blown 3 litre fitted which wasn't a success."
