I would love to see more photos of Wilf Davis. I have the one that John shows above, and the Brafield group-of-four, but would welcome more. Wilf Davis, like his "partner-in-crime" stock car champ Aubrey Leighton, were both well-spoken and public-school educated. Wilf's brother, Stringer Davis, was married to the film and stage actress Dame Margaret Rutherford!
Any photos of Wilf, please?

Here's a couple for you David. Taken at Brighton and Hove Stadium in 1950 (and sorry about the quality, these are copies of copies of copies...etc.) in this presentation group, Davis is the tall guy at the far left. I have no idea who the pretty young lady was presenting the trophies. I'm equally unsure who the guy in the centre is with the big cup, although a Laurie Robinson supposedly won the Sussex Championship at Brighton in 1950 - could it be him? The fellow on the far right is our old friend Alvin "Spike" Rhiando.
In the other photo, it looks like (Robinson?) in the car about to give the trophy girl a ride on the lap of honour, while Davis looks on.

Oops, 5 months before finding your kind reply. Thanks for those photos. BTW, I am still hoping to receive some more Wilf Davis material from a family contact.
