1931 Mille Miglia

I'm trying to find some more information about the 1931 Mille Miglia.

Specifically I want more info about car number 50, Austin Seven (supercharged) driven by Charles Goodacre and F.Trevisan.

It came second in class and 34th overall. I have found the <a href="http://wspr-racing.com/wspr/results/nonchamp/nonchamp1931.html">results list</a> but really want some more info about the car. Photos would be brilliant!!!

There was some discussion of this on the VSCC site in November - relating to the new A7 book http://www.austintwincam.co.uk/

One correspondant said that he interviewed Charles Goodacre and wrote it up in the A7CA Magazine - 1997A. He also said it was to be in the new book on the Mille Miglia by a Anthony Pritchard, this now appears to be available on Amazon. The VSCC discussion touched on the A7 entry in 1932 by a certain E Ferrari - which was scratched.

My dad has a copy of that book, must have a proper look at it. We know about, (and have) the A7 Mag article also.

Unfortunately not currently a member of the VSCC so can't login to see the forum
