This three car A35 set depicits the cars built and driven by Rae Davies in the Top Hat "Oldies But Goldies" pre 60's Touring Car series, followed by invitations to the Goodwood Revival Races.

The "Powerful Peanut" #4. was the first of a series of A35's built and driven by Rae Davies and being partnered by Steve Soper in 2001 and TV F1 pundit Tony Jardine in 2002 at the Goodwood Revival races.

"Red Rocket" #9. was to be the second generation Austin A35 from the Rae Davies stable. It was constructed expressly to contest the St Marys Trophy race at the 2004 Goodwood Revival, where Tony Jardine again partnered Rae in this two part race. The "Red Rocket won the race beating the Jaguar MkI of Grant Williams in a thrilling finale in front of a capacity crowd.

"Mushey Pea" not only dominated it's class, but was able to win outright, beating large capacity Jaguars and Ford Zodiacs in the Process, making "Mushey Pea" a firm favourite with the crowds.
