Gary Reid’s latest haul of photos from British eBay produced some stunning shots of a typical day at Brands hatch in 1969. This was from the era when the British singles still ruled the roost in domestic racing, at least in the 500cc class and generally with uprated frame and brakes. ■

Dave Croxford (1) is mounted on Colin Seeley’s own Seeley chassis, Barnett (10) is aboard Tom Kirby’s Rickman Metisse, while Williams rides the famous Arter Matchless.
