  7. Must be. I was looking closely at this one as he was a former club member in the Lords Car Club which I am a member of now.

  11. There's a couple of unusual details in this photo. First, it appears that the car is preparing to fire up on a roller starter. That probably helps to date the photo somewhat.

    The second item is more of a mystery, to me at least. That's the black handprint "logo" behind the driver's head on the rear body shrouding. I don't associate it with any business. Was it possibly a racing team or club emblem? Or maybe it was just a smart-ass inside joke in response to Eelco's footprint logo. Anyone seen it before?
