Picture of the week, Fairthorpe family get together.


This picture of the week was taken at Gerrards Cross this summer at a classic car event, Fairthorpes were produced in Gerrards Cross in the early 60`s. Pictured with 789 ERO and the Electron Minor of Bob Balding are AVM Bennett`s daughter Noreen with her daughter and her daughters three children. Her father gave Noreen the prototype EM as a 21st birthday present, which she promptly named `Mayfair`. Noreen was a pretty handy driver, doing a number of races and speed events in all types of Fairthorpe including the large engined Zeta, she still retains a keen interest in the cars to this day.
