Seven at Ibsley 1953 - Biddlecombe - 07-03-2019
This link to ebay photo for sale. My dad used to take me to the racing, we used to go on his bike with a seat for me on the crossbar. We used to get a "hedge ticket", remember those?

There are 2 other photos from the same seller.

Six photos in total - nice but a bit expensive at twelve quid apiece.

180831 so a '65'. Got so many web-snaffled pics of this car, with all sorts of wing combos! Wonder who it is/was? There was info added in 2007 on survivors register whichI think I chased up but didnt get anywhere. Anyone know it?
RE: Seven at Ibsley 1953 - Mike Costigan - 07-03-2019
Vic Hood (see two photos in the Sports Models 1933-39 Gallery).
RE: Seven at Ibsley 1953 - stuartu - 07-03-2019
It is Vic Hood's car, Jon. See "Gallery".
I am interested by the tail on his special here
http://www.austinsevenfriends.co.uk/forum/ezgallery.php?action=view&id=352
because it looks so similar to that on one of my Cambridge built cars. Probably just a coincidence. Does anyone know more?
Regards,
Stuart
Beat me to it, Michael!

Ah yes - so is Vic Hood still around? i.e. does anyone know if (either) car is still extant?

Pretty sure it was another car. He was a frequent competitor in the south of England back then.
The car behind Vic at Brunton is Simplicity, by the way!

Collar and tie with sports jacket
at least wearing a dong hat.
RE: Seven at Ibsley 1953 - Rogerfrench - 08-03-2019
I've just noticed that the first of those Ibsley photos shows the front row.of the grid with Simplicity on the far right, her 1st 750F race.

This one, Roger? I did't see it on the eBay listings, but I posted it in the Gallery six months ago (Ibsley Airfield, 1953):
