Lae 245
Hello,
I have been following your interesting thread as I am the new owner of LAE 245 bought just before Christmas from James Harris' father. The front lighting seems to be identical to that shown on JAH 594. The few 'photos that I have of LAE 245 show it at the 1948 Eastbourne Rally where it was entered by Tony Crook. It had a standard lighting setup then. It seems to have been involved in a serious accident in 1949/1950 and I was hoping to get details of the repairs carried out then by Bristol Cars but unfortunately the records seem to have been lost during the period that Bristol Cars was in administration.
Does JAH 594 still exist? Perhaps one of the owners of LAE 245 saw JAH 594 competing and decided to duplicate the lighting modification? I can find no indication that LAE 245 has any competition history beyond the 1948 Eastbourne Rally.
Geoff K, I also live in West Wales though LAE 245 is still with James Harris.
