I just got these in the mail today from my father. The photo's are from the Reading Fairground's in may of 1959 The first photo show's my aunt Mitizi with husband Bob Newlin (uncle) John Newlin (not in photo) were the car owner's. Standing at the front of the car is my father Joe Thomas Sr. Pop said he hand painted this car along with many other's. Next photo show's great friend, and the driver of the #V7 the late Leon "Minnie" McMinn who tragically lost his life in another V7 some year's later. Unfortunetly i never had the chance to meet leon, but heard a few great stories about some thing's they all used to do together, on and off the track. You can see why he was called minnie! A fairly big fella ;)
