Wonderful!

[neilshouse]

Thank you aberties for the pictures and extra information, very interesting indeed. The road car especially looks wonderful and is quite a surprise to find out about.

Just to add a bit of info.  I'm one of the grandsons of Bertie Sayers (son of Aberties forum member) I posted the photo on the genealogy forum that started this.  I can't add a great deal more then my Dad, as I was only about 6 or 7 at the time, but it was pretty cool having a racing driver granddad.

I did buy a copy of Autosport from ebay that had a small piece of info, so I'll dig that out and post any new pictures.

Neilshouse, you'll have to let me know the connection so I can fit you into the tree.

erlang, I'm sure I'm in the tree, my father has been tracing our family tree for several years, and has been in contact with you, it was him who gave me the photo that you posted on the genealogy website (genes reunited).  Bertie Sayers was my Great Grandmother's first cousin.

Hi there,  I'm one of the granddaughters of Bertie Sayers (daughter of Aberties forum member) and I think I may have a photo or two of granddad as well.  I'll see what I can find.

Hey, we have the whole family on the forum!
I love it.

This is a closeup of an "aberties" trials car, clearly showing the logo on the front.

Time to call this one "solved"?

Please keep us posted.

Yes, it is solved but I am hoping we receive more information to make it more solved!

And probably move to feature articles or somewhere there instead of Solved section?   

Sounds like a good idea, what does anyone else think?

I am in the process of creating a list of Bertie Sayers raceing, his  achievments & trophy's won. Also some technical details although that is proveing difficult as my brothers and I  where young at the time and not engine knowledgeable.

Also still awaiting information on an A berties traced in Devon, I'll try contacting the owner again.

Bertie was interested in cars & owned an old saloon before the second world war. It was laid up in the shed on Blocks for most of the war, due to petrol shortage.

Soon after the war as petrol became available his club, the Cambridge 50 car club arranged Small, Short rally's. He was quite succesful & inovative in these and he soon got interested in building his first car for mud plugging. The same car was used in his first  autocross event.      First picture showing testing this car, then the two different events.
