The bottom picture shows Hugh Conway Sr. in his T35B but I can't, at the moment, find my programme for the event.

Conway's 35B :

BC 001 (4661)
A blue type 35B built up to 1928 specifications between 1969 and 1974 by Hugh Conway from mainly original components based on a pre-1927 ex-Jim Berry chassis frame (no. 112) obtained from Alan Haworth who also provided a bent front axle and gearbox casing. The engine is from a type 43 but rebuilt into a spare crankcase providing the correct mounting arms. Rear axle from Pat Carmichael. Original rear springs but new front items from France. BOC gearbox internals, steering box, cylinder blocks, type 51 wheels. New body by Peel. UK reg. no. NY 6286. Known as “The Jackdaw”. First appearance. Lyon rally in 1974. Car track tested by Michael Bowler for “Thoroughbred & Classic Cars” in May, 1976. Miss Narisa Chakrabongse, H.F. Moffatt. 1979 : R.E. Grant. The car is listed in the 2000 British Bugatti Register (p.58) where it is noted that the car carries a chassis plate stamped 4661. A senior member of the UK BOC advised the author that this was attached by Moffatt. There is no record of when the BC 001 chassis plate was issued but since BC 003 was issued in 1977 it is assumed that it would have been issued sometime between 1973 and 1977. See Bugantics 38/1/42.
