Re Belsize OI 4027, I sold this some 8-10 years ago to Lasse Aas in Norway, I can supply his email if you want to get in touch.

Thanks Guys for your responses...I purchased the photos in the Blarney Museum as a young teenage enthusiast! Some of the early rally programmes are available on our website www.munstervintage.com . We would welcome any previous or new entrants to our event which we are planning to be veteran, vintage and classic friendly for, as usual, two wheels, three or four!

The photo is from The Blarney Motor Museum. The Arrol Johnson is the car belonging to the late Tom O'Neill former president of the Irish Veteran & Vintage Car Club. The Winton was formerly the property of well known enthusiasts Peter Thomas & Denis Lucey. Interestingly from memory it is pictured on the cover of the London to Brighton programme from 1971. As far as I know it is now in The Nethercutt Collection in California. Most of the other cars features in the lost treasure section of Finbarr Corry's book The Automobile Treasury of Ireland.
