    Hello,

    My Brother Kenneth Lyne, won a go cart in a Gordon Fords
    comertition.
    It was 1980s Gordon Fords who had a showroom near Range Road.
    They held a local competition who could go around the track the fastest.
    My Brother won it and Fords gave him a Go cart.
    He had his picture taken at Gordon Fords in Shaw Heath.
    Please can anyone help with finding this picture.
    Thank you
    Paul
