Here you are Marcus. Not sure that the photo is clear enough to read all the text.

Here's a link to some related material as well.http://midgetcarpanorama.proboards.com/thread/777/bantam-car-racing (http://midgetcarpanorama.proboards.com/thread/777/bantam-car-racing)

Less sure about this item from a Bonhams auction. http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/17264/lot/474/ (http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/17264/lot/474/)

Loath to reply as it takes my wallpaper of screen  :) anyway whilst at it I can mop up the drool  :) Interesting never heard of this but if it was a one day affair it's hardly surprising . Looks fun but the 1955 health and safety must have stepped in I think . 197 Villiers with reverse Previously I had only know that in Gordons , same era Gordons 1954/57 and these midgets 1955 hmmm

I have just checked Easter Sunday 1955 was April 10th , so it doesnt appear to be an April Fools joke  ;)
