Eastern Counties Motor Club Cine Archive (059): 1960s AutoCross Compilation

[@IanCheswright]

Love this, it reminds me of the Autocross events my Father organising/participated in around the early 1960s. A wonderful time for the Club racer, you could be competitive in your class with a road car.

May I enquire as to your father's name and the clubs he belonged to.

@@easterncountiesmotorclubhi1529 Hello My Father's name was John Cheswright and he was a member of the Margate and District Car Club. After moving house he became a member then later President of the Folkestone and East Kent Car Club. It was during this period he was very much involved in organising Autocross, Driving tests & Rally events. I still have quite a number of documents, photos and a programme from this era. Thank you for your interest Regards Ian Cheswright

@@IanCheswright Interesting stuff! Any documentation for this level of motor sport is very hard to find but thankfully you have saved it.
