Following recent exchange of email....
Bill has sent the following links...[:p].......Todays technology has somewhat spoilt us, We take so much for granted, Our mobile phones take higher definition pictures today, so need to spend some time and concentrate on some of the video footage from "Westwood".[

However some great period racing, One link of particular interest to those who fraternise the MG A..and Frog Eye Sprouts
Enjoy !!..[

Hi Keith, Nice to hear from you. Still working hard on your cars history I see.
Was there a color copy.[?]
I'm not 100% sure, but I suspect the original picture was taken using black and white film, rather than color film. I know that many of the photo's I took at Westwood in the early sixties, were all black and white. It was far cheaper to get developed, than color film..
Hopefully Dave would know for sure, and you will soon receive a reply from him.
I wondered if you have ever seen this web site before?
http://www.theoaks.ca/bobwalkerhistoricracing.html There are a few, of apparently dozens of photos that were taken from back in the day. I wonder if you made contact with this fellow, you might be lucky enough to discover he may have some of your car. I'm hoping he will post more on this site, as it would be something to see a picture of the old Lotus 23-b that Lorraine's boy friend used to race, (after he sold his Bristol). I used to go out to the track with him regularly..
Reading through the biography of one of Westwoods veteran drivers, I spotted a picture on page four, (bottom left) that might be BEX333 sitting at the start finish line. Hard to tell the number on the side, but it looks like it could be 251?
An interesting read regardless.Takes a few minutes to load.
http://www.mognw.com/history/images/G_B_Sterne_Ch_1.pdf (HAVING A PROBLEM OPENING... Will email Bill) A wonderful video on Westwoods early days. All 8 mm film of course so you need a good set of eyes to depict what exactly are the cars being filmed. A couple times I thought I saw what might be an Ace, but it's hard to tell.
