Tatty straw bales and colour photo don't normally go together! However perhaps you took that photo at Snetterton when we were all a lot younger.

The DNA Special which took part in the 1960 Rhodesia GP at Belvedere on 13 August, driven by AR Bryant. That took some finding!

Remembering that in race results "DNF"= did not finish, "DNS" = did not start and "DNA" = did not appear can we conclude that the builder was a pessimist?
Belvedere was the original Salisbury airport and a new one was opened in 1956. Urban sprawl has covered Belvedere so even the secondary use for motor racing is no longer possible. Here's a photo of it a few decades before:

Thanks Allan. I assumed the title DNA was a joke by the builder, but who knows? Maybe it was built by 3 people with those initials. I doubt we'll ever know.
