First Race - The Orchid Special 1961




This is probably the car's first race event in 40 years. A good day to test it at the Sports Car Club Easter sprint meeting. No major problems, the bonnet hinge broke and was replaced with a screwdriver and a bit of oil was coming out the dipstick hole. Brakes weren't great but lasted the day. The seating position is a bit cramped. Thanks David, for the photos.
