Sam Tingle´s E.R.A.
Sam Tingle, whose recently purchased supercharged 2 litre E.R.A., arrived at Hartley on Saturday, invited Jimmy de Villiers and his mechanics to come along and give him some "gen" on the car.
De Villiers, who races a similar car, is seen above (centre) examining this ex-Prince Birk job, well known to racing enthusiast in Europe as "Hanumin". The party (from left to right) are Rusty Weat, Sam Tingle, De Villiers, Arthur Brook and Piet Blignaut.
"This car is in better conditions than mine," observed De Villiers. And no wonder, for it was completely reconditioned before it left England.
Tingle, one of the most experienced drivers in Southern Africa and founder of S.A. Sports Car Club in Johannesburg, is expected to be a big threat to De Villiers at the Mashonaland "100" at Belvedere on September 1, and the public can look forward to a battle between the two E.R.A.s.
But dark horse of the meeting is Watson, with his D Type Jaguar, which is capable of making both E.R.A.s look slow by comparison with its terrific acceleration, speed and delightful handling and roadholding capabilities.
