RAC Midsummer Drive-In 2012

[Dilambdaman]

RAC Midsummer Drive-In 2012 RAC Club Woodcote Park Epsom Downs.

I was recently contacted by Elaine Moore wife of the late Prof Peter Moore (known to many of you) who amongst other cars owned a 1929 Ex Maharaja Dilambda. She is having it restored and believe me it will be very impressive when finished. With Elaine's permission I will post on the car.

Elaine invited me as a guest to this event and asked me to display Modestine, which of course I was happy to do. What was a complete shock was that she was chosen as the best pre war car against, I might add. some very strong opposition. It is not just a straight concourse competition relying as much on the history of the car etc which no doubt weighed in Modestine's favour. Coupled undoubtedly with the fact that one of the judges owns a rare Lambda with a racing history! Whatever, she won and I'm exceedingly proud of her.

It was a superb event held in magnificent surroundings and culminated in a first class dinner.

Congratulations Robin. And who is the owner of the Lambda with racing history? There are few of those around. Regards, John

Hi John,

His name is Barry Baxter and he's the chap without a tie on the right of the photo looking at the Oldsmobile Runabout.
