AN author who specialises in books about motoring is searching for stories, photographs and souvenirs from people who attended motor racing speed trials at the Chateau Impney Hotel in the 1950s and 1960s.

Guy Loveridge is researching his new book, which is focussing on the speed trials organised at Chateau Impney between 1957 and 1968, attracting some of the legends of the sport at the time.

The book has been commissioned by the Spollon family, who currently own the Chateau.

If anyone thinks they have information, memories or mementoes which might be helpful, they can contact Mr Loveridge by writing to chateau.impney@yahoo.co.uk.
