1. "Roger Craven (left) in Chassis 640, and Ian Warner in Chassis AX1652, line up in their 3-litres for a damp VSCC Prescott. Despite appearances, this is not a grumpy Muppet waving a pencil on the right of the picture."
2. "Paul Tunnicliffe (left) in Chassis AP324, and Ian Warner in AX1652, are lined up on the grid before driving singly, in numerical order, 180deg to the starting line at VSCC Prescott on 4 August. Readers may note that AP324 was originally a Gurney Nutting Saloon, and AX1652, one of the rare 100 MPH 9’ wheelbase chassis, originally had an H.J. Mulliner Saloon body."
