The following pictures and caption appeared on a facebook page recently-

My Grandfather drove one in the 1927 Monte Carlo rally, I've been trying work out what model he had,
family history mentions a Montlhery which I'm told is not correct.

A couple of pictures posted on facebook today. Splayed front springs, I guess this was the chassis of one of the 1921 200mile race cars.

A 12hp tourer on holiday, Westward Ho. I'd say a 1921 model.

These three wheels are for sale in Australia, they look like they may be early AC-     https://www.prewarcar.com/295995-sankey-wheels

Brunell photograph

This photo is captioned-  1920s. William B. Hunter sat in a heavily modified AC.

If the current owner of this car would care to get in touch, I have some documentation including the cars last old style buff log book.

I have found these pictures of the Hurlock garage premises, 1920's I imagine. Curtesy of the Stilltime photograph collection.

Does anyone have any information on this car-
   
   
   Three were built for RAC Lightcar TT for 1500cc cars 1914, this race in the end was not run due to the outbreak of war. The car was described as being distinctly crab tracked, very wide at the front and narrow at the back. Suggesting there was much difference from standard catalog specs.

Does anyone remember C.P.(Clive) Willoughby? He ran DP9220 a 12hp Royal car No 31134 later sold to a Dr Moon, Clive also built the aluminum racing car replica. His address was south London later I think he might have moved to Bognor. I have been trying to trace him without success.

Long on going project, will post more as things progress-
