Perhaps not the earliest memory, as this is from about 10 years old, but it clearly shows I was always going to favour a wooden chassis and non-servo braking!

Nice picture Richard. I've always loved Wolseleys.

The first car I remember being around was my grandfather's Riley RMA but I haven't got any pictures of the car unfortunately, let alone me with it.

This is the earliest picture I have of me, aged about 3 with my younger brother Brian. To maintain the theme, if you look very carefully you might spot the toy car in my left hand!

Here is a later picture of Brian and I embarking on our racing careers at Bognor (Hotham Park!)

My earliest memories of my first drive, and my Dad's first ever family car, a Morris 10 - twin bonnets, headlamps, curved wings, wing lights, running boards AND a sun roof. Sound familiar??

Seasonal although not sure why I'm looking a little glum. Maybe because I haven't been taken to the toy floor of Hammond's department store yet thinking

I have very fond memories of Hotham Park having spent many family holidays in Bognor Regis and surrounding area in the 50's and 60's. The two photos in my earlier post could well have been taken while on one of these holidays.

Another very early one taken in summer of 1949 when I was literally a few weeks old. A happy family picnic at Warter on the Yorkshire Wolds. Austin 10? not sure about motorbike but must have been my uncles. Guessing I'm in the back of car behind towel sun shade.

Munday's caravan park for us Alan, your pictures could well be there and Hotham Park. We didn't have a car so we'd do the journey by Southdown bus from Midhurst, changing at Chichester. Google tells me it's now 17 miles and 40 minutes but it was a whole lot further in the sixties! Happy days.

My father had a BSA B31 a 350cc motorbike & I can remember being in the garage alone with it when I escaped the house. That is my first memory.
The photo is of me & my parents in my grandparents B&B called Sunnybrook in Brixham c 1960. The B&B is still operating but my grandparents sold it when they went to Oz as £10 poms in 1969 with my Mum's siblings.
