The hair styles and flared trousers suggest the 1970's.   The Ford Transit (shown in the second photo) was introduced (if I remember correctly) in about 1968.

The Transit was introduced in October 1965, so not far off Malcolm.

HX 2522 is Bernard Canning; DR 5582 could be Barrie Clarke. Both photos I would suggest from about 1970.

Thank's for clarifying that, Andrew.   Does the presence of The Seven Workshop indicate that this may have been a Bristol A7 club rally?

HX 2522 is showing as untaxed since 1st September 1978 - but last V5C issued in March 2003. The registration DR 5582 is now carried by a 1975 6.7 litre Bentley colour Black. Chassis Register shows DR 5582 now carries the registration SV 8872 and mentions it was originally built by Barry Clarke.

Probably not. Seven Workshop started in East London and had moved to Ware (Herts) by the seventies. Dave Phillips didn't move to Bradford-on-Avon until the mid eighties.

The picture labels say Beaulieu, which it looks like it might be.

Certainly in the days before the H&S police took over everyday life.

My understanding is that Barry Clarke built SV8872 out of DR5582. As i understand it, Barry used the mechanicals from DR5582 and a new Roach body, which was then registered SV8872. I owned SV8872 from 2007 to 2014, having bought it from Hamish Algar. The notes I got with the car set out this history, as it was understood in 2007. SV8872 certainly had an original EA Sports engine, gearbox and other parts, but a late 1929 chassis. I always understood he then used the chassis from DR5582 to build another car.
