Thanks Surfblue, very much appreciated!

By the way NRCC "A" on the side of the car is because they were part of the Northern Rally Competitors' Club A team.

This was before most advertising was allowed. The only things allowed then were the name the entrant and the names of the crew.
I assume NRCC was the entrant and the club held one entrants licence in that name (as did our club for our 3 entries). Adding the "A" was not strictly permissible, even though it was part of a club team entry.

That is a cracking picture of DR & Sophie.

This one is also very nice if I my say

Sorting through some old pics with my dad. He reckons he took it in the late 60’s probably in North Wales. If anyone has any ideas on the rally/car/driver we’d be really interested.

Thanks, Mike.

That is from the 1966 RAC Rally. Driver L S Todd, co-driver R A Brunskill.
