Eric Thompson was a racing driver who raced for the Aston Martin works team at Le Mans from 1950 to 1953, coming third overall in 1951. Peter Clark also drove for Aston, racing a DB2 at Le Mans in 1951 and 1952. Mort Goodall was the founder of the Aston Martin Owner's Club and a long time Aston racer driving at Le Mans ten times. Angela Abecassis, née Brown, was the daughter of David Brown who owned the company from 1947 to 1972 and lent his initials to the most legendary series of Aston Martin cars; she married racing driver George Abecassis and raced a DB3 herself in the 1950's. Liz Thompson was Eric's wife, she worked for the Aston Martin racing team in the 1950's as a time keeper. Overall an interesting collection of signatories, all closely associated with Aston in the early days of John Wyer and David Brown. Signed by Author(s).
