Amilcar C6 (No23) Reg No YW91
driven by Beris Harcourt Wood. Retired, but still
running at finish.
W. B. Scott has also written reminding us that
although he finished the 200-Mile Race covered in oil, this was from
a broken oil pipe, not from mechanical trouble. He did a lot with
his Amilcar Six, as I said in the article about his racing career
(Motor Sport, December 1976), such as taking Class G records, with
his wife, up to 500 miles, without any trouble, also in 1928, for
which Amilcar's gave him a gold watch. He also ran in the smaller
Brooklands Meetings, as when his wife in their GP Sunbeam beat Scott
in the Amilcar by a very small margin indeed in a 50-mile race at a
Middlesex County AC Meeting and with the Amilcar won at a Surbiton
MC Meeting, at 89 1/4 m.p.h. and then Scott won another race at
90.05 m.p.h. Incidentally, Scott bought a new 4.cylinder Amilcar the
year he came down from Cambridge
