16 mm footage shot by my father who was an amateur sports car driver in the 50's. The first part is the hill climb. Dad is in the white 1949 MG TC at the hill climb
This is amazing footage! Thank you so much for posting it. I am researching the small black and white car (#28) that appears at 1:51. The car is a Fibersport Crosley Special driven by Charles Brantingham. By the amount of focus on the car in the footage, it appears that your father may have known Brantingham. I have a Fibersport Special, and it may even be the same car. I would love to speak to you or your Dad about this footage. tim foster 916 612 2613 Thanks!
@crosleykook The #28 machine, I take it, was pedal-powered?
