DYY 354 was, I think, the Speedex 'company demonstrator'. The photo is from the 1959 Birkett relay race with an unknown driver. The same car was out on the track with a few other drivers in 1959 and its distictive profile is recognisable in the Speedex adverts of the time with Jem Marsh sitting at the wheel 'and the driver is 6' 3" '. It all all looks so innocent with 5 gallon oil drums demarking between the pits and the XK120 and Elite zooming past on the track!
