Aka RCK Money. He was born on 4th July 1915. He became a Major in the Royal Engineers. With his MG he won the Stanley Cup Competition on June 19th 1937 - a scratch race, at Donington Park organized by the Frazer Nash CC. He also seems to have had success in what seems likely to have been a CSMA Trial in 1939. Mr. Money entered his MG in both the 1946 and 1947 Brighton Speed Trials in each case entered in the "1100cc Racing" Class. By that time he was entered as Major R C K Money. He had six children.

Generic fact:
1926 Bentley 3 litre (chassis no. RT1537) and 1933 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport (chassis no. 121215037). Looks like this pair are off somewhere for the weekend, and expecting tyre problems, since both have a couple of additional spare tyre placed in front of the grille. The Alfa Romeo have the rounded covers on the headlights and seems to be towed by the Bentley in that very moment, with childrens waiting onboard. The photos are probably early post-war and the Bentley had already lost its Carbodies saloon body, it now sports a Vanden Plas style tourer body. The Alfa Romeo with Castagna coachwork was at this point owned by Major Money.
