Sporting Eves -

Summary

NoS Summary - Ivy and her mother go for a spin at Brooklands.
British Pathe synopsis: Miss Ivy Cummins is shown preparing her car for a race. Like most Eves she is "deeply interested in bonnet..." The bonnet is open and she is making checks. She starts the car with a starting handle at the front. Whirling around "Brooklands" is Miss Cummins hobby. Her mother is her mechanic and is seen in the car with her. Shots of the car being driven very fast - some filmed from another moving vehicle. Stationary C/U shot of the two women adjusting their gloves and scarves before setting off again.
