| From Racing Historian
Ron Cummings:
"The MG next to the Binney
Doretti is an MG Magnette from the '30s. I know little about these cars
but this one was raced in the '50s by a guy named Jacobsen. It ran
all of the Cal Club tracks including Paramount Ranch. His son, a
recently retired Cal Poly professor, still vintage races his dad's car.
He is a member of the Fab 50's. I have talked to him several times.
I will try to get you more info."
From Mike
Savin:
"It was a kick to see
Bill Binney's Coupe -- even in that sad condition after all these years.
The last time I saw it must have been about 1964 or 1965 -- a Monterey
Park postman owned it at that time and it was painted white. (Bill originally
painted it red)."
