    The “Mannin Moar” race on the Isle of Man on 14th July 1933. Only 9 cars started.

    First was No.6 Brian Lewis in an Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza.
    Second was No.9 Tim Rose-Richards in a Bugatti T51.
    Third was No.11 George Eyston in an Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza.

    The Hon. Brian Lewis (later Lord Essendon) is shown, glass in hand.
    This was the first of Lewis’s four Mannin Moar wins.
