Said to be chassis #203? Certainly at Silverstone, 1959. Was he ever entered at Goodwood?

 

A.M.O.C. Silverstone, 23 May 1959, David Brown 200-mile relay race:

1. Lotus No 4 team (J. Graydon-Whitehead, P. D. Anders, A. T. Korczynsky, Mrs. R. Bluebelle Gibbs)

 

Who is this, #3B? (Definitely 200 miles, not 100 miles.)

Also at Snetterton, Sunday 7 September 1958.

Surely as a ‘motor racing historian’ you know exactly where to find this information….

Presumably in the Goodwood reference books which I don't have?

The whole point of TNF is that it is 'give and take.' Try finding the Silverstone result I gave above elsewhere on the internet?

This is part of trying to find XJH 781 —  if you are familiar with this thread you will know that this is a quest that has been running for some years and has, so far, defeated everyone here.

Rupert

I've checked the Index of Robert Barker's A Record of Motor Racing at Goodwood and he is not listed

Winning average 67.77 mph, 2hr 33min 44.6sec?

19 teams, Graham Hill in a Lotus Elite.

Birmingham Daily Post, Monday 25 May 1959, Page 5

Does the programme identify Lotus car capacities e.g. 1098, 1172 etc? Car colours?

Off topic can you identify the other runners and riders in the results?

Another Peerless team?
