Trailing through my archives I found yet another Anglia I built in 1969. This had a WRA Racing 1760cc push-rod engine which was was built by George Whitehead Racing,
somewhere down hear Harrow. The body was all steel. The tyres were VERY hard Dunlop Intermediates. The guy standing on the opposite side to me, Alf Glasser, is the current Chief Paddock Marshall at Donington.
