Title: Unidentified Ace - Brands Hatch August 1956
Post by: James Eastwood on May 29, 2019, 07:50:43

Photo of an Ace Racing at Brands Hatch, UK. Is dated August 56 and car is numbered 110. This might be exciting for anyone who believes their car raced in 1956 but hasn't found any photos yet.

Race programs are available from collector (see eBay) which would associate a driver with a car number which may help. Or the index in the back of the Racing Aces book may also help.

I find all this research really rewarding and have found a dozen or so pictures of my Ace. Slowly people's personal photo collection are finding their way to the Internet which is really exciting if you are piecing together a cars history.
Happy hunting.

Interesting find, Hopefully  Steve Gray, Tony Bancroft or Tim Isles can confirm ID of this Ace, (race number 110.) and if any other Aces were on the grid.

Looking through my archive, I can confirm there were definitely 2 Aces racing at Brands Hatch on 6th August 1956.

AE39   (VPJ932)     N Robinson     race Number 108

and

FS50  (VPL422)      Ken Rudd        Race Number 110   ?   :-\
