1930 McDowell Dirt Racer

This was an unusual entry in the Richard Seaman Memorial Vintage Trophy Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 1984.

It's a 1930 McDowell Dirt Racer and was driven by Tom Threlfall. The only information about the car in the programme of the event is that it had a 3,400cc engine, but there is a note which says:

'...it is a tribute to V.S.C.C. President Tom Threlfall that he has got so high on the grid with his McDowell Dirt Racer with its fairly humble Ford origins.'
