Lovely photos! Its always a good trip down to Brooklands. The best time I went was an AC cars meet, doing time trials on the same patch. Quite possibly the best noises I have heard from any amount of cars!

I think Austin/Morris day is on a date I can do this year and I've not been for quite a while so will be good to get back there. Nice photos as ever. I believe that the cycle car at the top is actually a new build - obviously using old bits.

Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable.

Amazing photos. I love the cycle car! It seems to be cable steered, which looks terrifying. Locating the front axle on quarter-elliptical springs is interesting too. Not to mention the wooden chassis and body! Nice.

It was best described as rickety! Really struggled coming up the 1:5 testhill well, but I guess the driver tripled the weight of the whole lot when he got in.
Cheers for the comments, its definitely worth a trip over for it, £10 to get in and you have the whole museum to look round as well. Just wrap up warm it was stupidly cold there as the wind whistles though the site.

Thanks once again for you excellent vintage trials report and pics. ;D I absolutely love seeing these old cars out and about and getting used like this. And Brooklands is an excellent setting for them too. You're right about the details on them, there is just so much awesome and interesting fabrication and engineering on those old cars. Big thumbs up from me
