Barry Cassidy recalls: my friend Graham Smedley was kind enough to lend me his EH Holden for the weekend as my steed was broken, Not too many Fiat 1500's graced our tracks so to see two in the same frame is a bit unique.
Thats Edward Newton behind me in the Jag, he still has the car, the other EH would be Robert Proctor, it was a bit rare as it was a Premier if i remember rightly.
