There's a couple of good pics of the sister car, No. 125, of John Rhodes here.

Stu's right with Brands '69, the first give away is the 10" Minilite wheels used in the early part of that season (soon swapped to 12"). Handley apparently binned it after getting on the wet grass. The car wore the OBL 46F reg number in that race. Pretty poor start to Abingdon's first race season with Rhodes destroying his car aswell. I've got some nice pictures of this event from Hayward as above.

wow I'm impressed with the knowledge out there!

I bought the photo years ago at an antiques fair (sounds better than car boot...)

thanks all

Snap

I found the same bit of footage this afternoon.

I think John Handley was in OBL 45F and John Rhodes in OBL 46F.

Helps if you are of a certain age and lived locally....

I took this in 1967 (Light has got in at top of slide and fogged it). Instamatic or Brownie I think

I couldn't find any rear shots of Handley's car from this '69 Brands race to pin down the registration though I suppose it's pretty academic as Abingdon were slapping any old rally car plate on their race cars at this point like LBL ,GRX's, LRX's, OBL's etc, makes you wonder what paperwork those old bent rally shells went out of Abingdon with (if any) when they flogged 'em all off. I've quite a few decent B&W frontal and side shots of Handley in this car and just one fuzzy colour shot :



Both BMC and the Britax cars were still on 10" Minilites for this race.
