    61 & 60 are Arrol-Aster 2.4litre, 59 & 58 are Ford 2litre. 56-52 are Bugatti 2.3litre, 51 is a French SARA 1.8litre. Interesting to see them racing with the roof up!

"By train and car thousands departed for the South Coast resorts ... the new toll bridge over the Logan Bridge reaped a golden harvest, and two traffic policemen were constantly on duty to supervise the unending rush of cars - and incidentally to guard against possibility of a raid by bandits intent on laying

And, much like this year, many people turned to camping along the beach, with "canvas houses, replete with every comfort, even to electric light, separate sleeping compartments, and spring mattresses".
