For one point: Identify this event, and the driver coming up the hill

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

Sydney Allard ? Colmore trial ?

Title: Re: Who's Driving? #441
Post by: Otto Puzzell on March 29, 2013, 02:03:52 PM

Not Mr Allard. I'll have to check on the venue when I get home, but I think the answer is not Colmore

I'm running short of ideas - Derek Silcock ?

(the photo shows a man with black spectacles and beret - that's looks awfully like Sydney himself, but I'm obviously wrong)

Title: Re: Who's Driving? #441
Post by: Otto Puzzell on March 31, 2013, 03:18:08 AM

Not Derek Silcock. You've misinterpreted the visual information available.

Title: Re: Who's Driving? #441
Post by: D-type on March 31, 2013, 05:50:48 AM

A long shot: Bill Boddy (I don't even know if he ever competed seriously in a trial)

Title: Re: Who's Driving? #441
Post by: Otto Puzzell on March 31, 2013, 06:11:50 AM

WISDOM

Are you guessing a name? She's not Wisdom

Title: Re: Who's Driving? #441
Post by: nicanary on April 02, 2013, 05:16:29 AM

It was quite common for men to wear berets in those days when driving in this type of event, which is why I thought it was a man. How about Aileen Moss ?

Title: Re: Who's Driving? #441
Post by: Otto Puzzell on April 02, 2013, 05:17:58 AM

Not her

Title: Re: Who's Driving? #441
Post by: nicanary on April 02, 2013, 05:59:26 AM

I really DID misinterpret the visual information ! It must be Eleanor Allard.

Title: Re: Who's Driving? #441

No sir

Post by: nicanary on April 03, 2013, 06:39:46 AM

I'll try another tack - this looks like one of the "localised" trials of the time, but I'll go for a stage of the Land's End trial?

Title: Re: Who's Driving? #441
Post by: Otto Puzzell on April 03, 2013, 06:47:22 AM

Not that one

That's her! Locked for you to supply the rest of the info.

Burledge near Bristol?

Title: Re: Who's Driving? #441
Post by: Otto Puzzell on April 04, 2013, 10:13:28 AM

It was a club event. The club is named for a city in England. That city is not Bristol, though I suppose the event could have taken place there.

Still locked for you.

The answer is the 1946 Liverpool MC Jeans Cup Trial / Lady Mary Grosvenor?

That's it! Well solved.

Well done, Richard. That was a stinker ! As the only other puzzler who had a stab at it, I bow to your prowess at investigation - I was even on the wrong gender !

Many Thanks, two days in the warm library (in snowy Kent) though, however I now have a new interest in Classic Trials to research!
