Badger! Badger!
At 99p on eBay,
with 1 bid,
are 2 stainless steel motor-racing trophies
engraved to J. M. McCartney.
One is dated 1965.
The other is dated 1972.
John McCartney bought a one-off racing car
called the Felday 4 BRM,
built by PETER WESTBURY,
and raced it from 1967 to 1970
.
Page 20 - Felday 4 BRM.
Page 21 - Cooper 67 Ford.
Page 23 - Felday 4 BRM.
Page 23 - Felday 4 BRM.
Obviously, the trophies
pre-date and post-date McCartney's ownership of the Felday 4 BRM -
sadly -
but nonetheless they are linked
to the driver of an iconic machine.
The bidder at 99p
may be aware of the history,
and willing to bid high.
On the other hand,
they may go for next to nothing.
I would like to bid £13.33,
and see what happens!
Badger! Badger!
