Doreen Evans at Brooklands, July 1935.

It's safe to say that it wasn't lemonade what was in that tumbler.

 

She was the youngest child in a motor-racing family whose business, the Bellevue Garage in Wandsworth, was a leading MG agency. With her brothers Dennis and Kenneth she competed in MGs in the Bellevue team, and at Le Mans in Captain Eyston’s ‘Dancing Daughters’ team.

“Bill†Wisdom and Joan Richmond, July 1932, in what I believe is an Aston Martin 1.5 Ulster.
