1959 Sadler FJ

This was one of the competitors in the Front-Engined Formula Junior Cars race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2011.
It's the 1959 Sadler Formula Junior car of Ashley Waller, one of only twelve built by Canadian Bill Sadler, and has a 1,098cc 4-cylinder inline BMC A-series engine.
Here's Ashley Waller at Redgate Corner during the race.

Formula Junior

I photographed these cars at Redgate corner on the first lap of the Formula Junior race at the VSCC's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.
On the left the yellow car, number 20, is the 1960 Elva 100 of Geoff O'Nion which is being followed by the number 99 1960 Elva 100 of Peter Lavender. On the right the red 1960 OSCA (21) of Peter Mullen is alongside the 1960 Elva 100 (23) of David Watts and behind him is another 1960 Elva 100, the number 226 of Roger Dexter. I can't identify the car behind the OSCA, but the blue car behind that group is the 1958 Stanguellini (116) of Gordon Wright. The three cars bringing up the rear on the left are Bill Grimshaw in his 1959 Moorland Mk1 (29) Stephen Bulling in the red 1959 Sadler (118) and the blue 1959 Volpini (10) of Antony Childe-Freeman. All the cars bar one have 1.1 litre engines, the exception being the Sadler's which is only 1 litre.
