So, Noel = Richard!! :ROFL: Even allowing for sloppy handwriting its hard to believe that he got through life signing his name in order to identify who he was! I can buy "Attwood" but are you sure he was really a Richard? Just because someone calls him "Dick" doesnt mean to say that thats his name. :)

You can find his autographs on line - and they match! Really!

driverdb.com has very little info on him but what there is puts him as an American racing between 1967 and 1987 in Sprint Cars.

Good grief, I must be going blind! :o
I got mine out, looked at all 5 and didn't spot that.

The top one is nothing like any of mine, but it "suggests" it was signed at the same event. That was allegedly the 1994 A8 launch at Millbrook.

John Stevens started coaching at Brands Hatch, and subsequently became Chief Instructor at the Audi Quattro High Performance Driving School, a position he held for 16 years. He was responsible for the programme and instructor training during the formation of Audi's South African school, based at Kyalami, and his services have also been employed by Ford, Renault and Toyota for their works rally drivers.

Thats a possibility....

Just need to find a signature/autograph to confirm

HPsauce 14th March 2013 05:15 PM

I'd just drop him a polite email with a photo of that page, asking if it was him and the 1994 Millbrook event. :cool:

Well, I did just that! :D

And he replied to confirm that is his signature. So,with that provenance, let's continue the bidding!

£15 from me
