Raise a Glass of Cognac

Post by Bob Bull »

Congratulations to Tony Lees, winner of the Vintage Sports-Car Club’s inaugural MSA-registered Speed Championship in 2016, in his famed 1925 AC/GN ‘Cognac’ Special.
 
The Leicestershire-based Competitor proved a model of consistency throughout the year in the celebrated ex-Ron Footitt ‘Chain Gang’ Racing Special – a GN chassis, powered by a 2-litre AC engine – regularly placing amongst the front-runners at the Club’s Sprint and Hill Climb events.
 
Highlights included several Fastest Pre-1931 Vintage and Class accolades, as well as a particularly poignant new Class record at Shelsley Walsh in July, where he broke Freddie Giles’s 1993 time in ‘Cognac’, just days before Freddie sadly passed away.
 
Ace Photograp…… you know!

Tony,
It would appear that an unknown has edited out your photograph from this months Motorsport.
Was it perhaps the school cap? Or the november bumfluff on your upper lip?
In any event an honourable mention.
What next a photo with berniece and Todt?
