In this second part of the tribute to Douglas Eatwell we are publishing a series of photographs taken at Crystal Palace in the 1950's We would like you to identify the meeting and the names of the drivers. The makes of car are not so difficult. Send your answers by E-mail to : motorsnippets@dial.pipex.com

This is an early Lotus 6 which would have been fitted with the side-valve Ford 93a engine of 1172cc. These cars were originally built for the 1172 Formula of the 750 Motor Club and proved to be a great success. The front suspension was a swing axle arrangement designed by Leslie Ballamy.

This picture shows a Frazer Nash Sebring which would have been fitted with the 2-litre Bristol engine. It will be interesting to know if this car still exists and whether anyone knows its history.

Another Frazer Nash this time a Le Mans Replica also fitted with the Bristol engine In this context "Replica" means factory produced cars to the same specification as those used in events such as Le Mans Imagine driving to a meeting, competing, and then barring mishaps, driving home. These cars were, and still are, great fun to drive on the road.

Could this be Mike Hawthorn? He started his racing career with Rileys, an 1100cc and a 1500c modified TT Sprite. This one is being pursued by the lightweight HRG which is featured elsewhere in this magazine. Could this HRG be the one driven by David Blakeley who was later murdered by Ruth Ellis?

Bristol engined again, this time a Cooper Bristol single seater. With the number 7 this must surely be Stirling Moss. We await your confirmation or otherwise. These cars are featured extensively in our recent race reports and are as popular and competitive as ever.

It would be easy to say this was a Cooper 500, but we find it difficult to be sure. It is not Bernie Ecclestone as he never, we believe, won any races in his 500.

This one must have been competing in a relay race with the number 9a. His team must have lost some time after this spin. Can anyone identify the car and driver. We think it may be a Kieft.

No doubt about this one it is an early Formula 2 Connaught with the 1960 cc Lea Francis engine tuned by Geoffrey Taylor at his factory on the Kingston By-pass. We cannot make out the number but the photographer behind it must have been very close.

The last picture in this Crystal Palace series from the Douglas Eatwell archive is of two 500cc racers dicing. The leading car is surely a Cooper but what is chasing it? A JBS of Alf Bottoms, a Revis of Reg Bicknell? Please let us know on motorsnippets@dial.pipex.com
