Cannon Trials Cars

I wonder if anyone can help? I'm searching for images of sporting trials cars from the 50's and 60's period. I'm particularly looking for images of Cannon's and derivatives such as Cottons and Nymphs. The reason is that I'd like to piece together a history that I could eventually publish and could involve any other interesting information that might turn up such as the Skiddaw and Ben Nevis attempts of the sixties. If you have anything you think might be of interest , even the smallest thing, please let me know as there is very little documented .

Yours gratefully

Can you identify this Car?

Simon Knght skarcglas@yahoo.co.uk asks of anyone can help identify his new car.

I have recently bought it and would like to know a bit more about before i start sorting it out  the vendor mentioned the name Colin Marchment as the builder and or driver and that it was active in the early 1960s

The car runs a ford sidevale engine with twin Sus it has a lovely tubular exhaust manifold and an aquaplane tappet cover , the badge on the front of
the engine cover says Puma

My intentions are to get it up and running this year for a bit of a shake down and then start a thorough refurbishment next year once i know a bit more about it . I would like to keep it fairly original with the exception of adding  a charging system to enable the odd classic trial

I have been involved in Motorcycle trials for 30 years and currently ride a modern sidecar outfit in the uk sidecar nationals and always maintained an
interest in trials cars

Any help would be very much appreciated

Sincerely

Simon Knight

Take a look at the Clasic Cars for sale on eBay. There is an, I think, 1952 Morgan with a body built by Dellow. There is quite a bit of interesting information in the ad.
