Vintage racing

Post by Peter McKercher »

Just wanted to share this wonderful shot of the very rare B37 Singer beautifully restored and built to racing specs by the Gibsons in the UK. The car was photograped at Cadwell Park in May, where it took 4th place in Class with 26 entrants. The Gibsons now own several well known pre war Singers, two of which will be competing at the 2008 Le Mans Classic GP July 11-13.

For those of you interested in vintage racing, I've put together a few shots on my Vintage Racing League Home Page at http://www.myvrl.com/profile/PeterMcKercher . Interest in vintage racing continues to grow around the world and Singers once again are there.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for John Slusar's 4AD project which has run into some substantial difficulties with respect to the engine. I believe John is still looking for a good block. FYI vintage racing is not for the average pocket book.

Who knew - a Japanese Mille Miglia. Very nice looking Le Mans, mistakenly identified as a '34

Interesting to see this car preceding the Nine Le Mans at the Japanese Mille Miglia. Fiat Balillas directly competed with the Singer team at the Ards
