Regulars on this part of PistonHeads may recall my tribute to mark the sad passing of my Father-in-Law in 2007. ( http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... )
I posted some pics of some of his cars and have just come across a few more of his Derby Special so I thought I'd post them.


On the Silverstone start-finish straight, no lights or mudguards.


In the paddock at Silverstone.


En-route to race at Silverstone in the rain. No roof, it was just the way he was. I'm surprised, to be honest, that he isn't smoking his pipe.

I haven't been since Ian died, no. I keep meaning to, but somehow other things always take precedence.
