Brighton retired specialist engineer and vintage car restorer Christopher Dancey, was invited by the iconic Harrow Car Club to be the guest speaker at their 90th anniversary dinner at the British Racing Drivers Club building at Silverstone Racetrack.

Chris and his retired wife Linda Graham-Dancey spend many months at their retreat villa in Cyprus where Chris discovered some ten years ago a dismantled MGJ2 1933 that after careful study turned out to be a ' lost ' ex-Brooklands race car.

The MG was owned and raced at Brooklands in 1934-35 by Dudley Howard Cottingham, Monte Carlo & Brooklands driver of note and was the secretary of the Harrow Car Club along with Arthur Moss, father of Sir Stirling and Pat Moss.
