Thanks

Thank you for the replies, the links are great.

I found the mention of Colin Chapman on the back quite interesting...

Who is the beauty @ the wheel ?

[Auntieroll]

The beauty behind the wheel is Hazel Williams , later to become Mrs Chapman.
She was no mean pedaler herself and was fiercely competitive.
