    The Lea-Francis is S Type (Hyper) chassis 14051 driven by Gordon Hendy. This is either the Long Handicap or the Mountain Handicap race - Hendy came third in the Mountain Handicap, but was unplaced in the other. Chassis 14051 was one of six S Types built for the 1928 TT, although it never competed in the event having been crashed in practice by R M V Sutton. It was entered again for the 1929 event, driven by Gordon Hendy, but did not complete the race as it overturned very shortly before the end of the event.

    Cars should turn right in Mountain races so this is Long Handicap.
