I am looking for information on a racing car pictured in the Westbury Turn. The handwriting on the bottom of the image says ‘Parker Fiat’ and the number on the radiator is a black large ‘14’. The picture came from a scrapbook of clippings.
Can you give me any information about this car and when it participated etc?
Thank you.
Hi Penny:
Here’s information on the 1909 #14 Fiat driven by Eddie Parker:
