Towing in Thrupp & Maberly style.

Ben Thompson (UK) reacts to our earlier Triumph-Triumph towing story from Martin Frosh.
"My father and I use his 1936 3 1/2 Derby Bentley (Sports Saloon ? ) by Thrupp & Maberly, to tow my 1928 Austin Seven to race meetings, seen here setting off for last year's VSCC Prescott. The Derby, one of only 30 or so four door saloon's by T&M - a 1935 car, registered early '36, has been back on the road for about ten years and runs very well indeed, covering thousands of miles a year. The Austin was re-built by myself in 2004, used often for road, hill climbs and trials." (here seen slightly faster than the camera (click)) Next chance to see this prewar combo will be at VSCC Wiscombe next Sunday. (photos courtesy Ben Thompson)
