TR7 pic in local paper
Posted: 06 Apr 2013 14:10
A photo I'd never seen before has appeared in a local "free" paper amidst an article celebrating Red Rum the amazing horse which won the Grand National horse race in 1973, 1974 & 1977.
It shows a staged publicity event where a TR7 was supposed to race against the horse on Southport beach but, as you can read, it didn't happen. As ever the press can't resist a pop at the car.
Although not very clear I think the driver might be Ginger McCain, Red Rum's trainer, who also had a local BL franchise at the time.
The photo is attributed to Derek Holden.
