In 1955, while serving in Hong Kong in the RAF, and at the age of 20, my father, Malcolm Delingpole drove a Dellow Mk.V in one of the earliest Macau Grand Prix races. The Dellow was (and still is) a famous marque of car, renowned for its touring and hill-climbing abilities, the name being a conflation of "Delingpole" and "Lowe": Ken Delingpole (my grandfather) and Ron Lowe (his Works Director at Delson, the Alvechurch nut & bolt company). The car was shipped out to my father, who had rather been hoping for a Dellow Mk.2, a lovely four-seater far better suited to the lifestyle of a young serviceman in Hong Kong. My father narrates this footage as he watches it with me. He's 90 next year, but seems to remember it all like it was yesterday. I hope you enjoy this quirky piece of motor racing history.

The figures, fashions, and cinefilm remind me so much of my childhood holidays. Lovely bit of film.

Wonderful film reminds me of my fathers motor racing photos of Motor racing/Autocross in Ghana in the late 50’s, similar clothes but the cars were not quite so exotic, they were mainly Triumphs and MG’s
